Welcome to Gaia! ::

Levi was just randomly busying herself at this point. With everything tidy and no more baking to be done (she'd already done enough this week, really), she thought about indulging in some fun in the woods again. Wriggling the door knob behind her shut, the tatzel made her way down the third floor steps of monster dorm, skipping two or three actual steps at time as she bounced down them like individual tiny trampolines.

When she got close to the main floor, she heard what may have been a cheering crowd along with sounds of battle. Was there a fight going on?! Clearing the rest of the stairs in one leap, she ended in a crouching position, tail twisting behind her. She surveyed the surrounding only to be disapointed at first. Nope. No fight going on here...

That was until she saw the one-boil battle she recalled from the arm wrestling stand. Straightening herself out, she walked over the the boil from behind. When she was close enough, she grinned and maneuvered her tail to slap across hiss like a HIGH5!- only with tails.

BUL! Fancy seein' ya ere, boil! Watcha 'all doin' by yerself?

It wasn't until she followed Bul's previous line of sight that she noticed the snotball and put the two together. It didn't seem to want to come down from it's fastened position so the ghoul took it upon herself to lend a hand tail. Bending for a moment, she pounced up to the cieling and with both hands, pulled the snotball off the ceiling. Back on the ground, she unstuck in from one of her wriggling hands and offered it back over to Bul with the other.

Ain't yer Ma teach ya never ta play in tha house? She chuckled at the half beast's typical show of boil activeness and gave him a friendly elbow to the gut.

She meant to explain that she may be an off variety of the usual black coated tatzelwurm of her town, but she still commanded the same leaping abilities of any of her kin. White tatzels kin jump...? Content with her justification of having a proper leaping ability, she gave a short laugh at Bul's choice of words when surprised. That tail's big but sure moves funny.

It was true that the ball had something unusual to it apon rexamination. Snotball, eh? Can't say I'd ever played with one. She'd just figured something had happened to the ball to make it ooze. The ghoul was even more intrigued now by the lingering feel on her hands left from picking up the ball. Just how did a game of Snotball work? There was interest in learning the game for sure and her expression read so.

I'd sure be interested in tha how if yer willin' ta gimme tha lowdown on it. She nodded to Bul's offer with a mischievous grin across her face. Surely, a game with Bul would entail some skill and strength; now that would be something new to try.

She raised a brow at Bul's chuckling, not quite sure what to make of it. It was as if she'd told a joke but didn't know it. OOhhhhhh~ ya dun say?! All by yerself. Well, Jack's ghost, that's pretty neat! She had her eye on the ball as Bul explain some of the mechanics, ears straight in attention and her tail whipping around happily. She'd learned about something new today!

It was when the half beast kicked the snotball over to her that she got startled slightly. Flinching, her first reaction was to bat at it with her tail; always defend with the tail. Coming around quickly with a mind of its own, the end of her thick white tail flicked the ball back to him a little too speedily.

Then it registered: Er- sorry 'bout that. Ya said kick, right? Like with ma legs? Aye- this could be a good way 'a workin' out them legs! She wasn't going to tell Bul that she usually didn't have legs in natural form. That would be like giving her potential opponent a weak point. Sure! Get me in the legs! I'm weak there! Yeah. Not going to happen. Not to say she didn't have any power in them; she could still use them in battle strength-wise and whip a few boils. It was her finesse that was lacking; perhaps a game of keep-up snotball could challenge her there as to just how far along she was.

She looked down to examine Bul's legs and realized the difference then. Not that ya'd need it, eh Bul? Not with 'em suckers. She snickered a hillbilly laugh; sometimes boosting a boil's ego worked just as well as breaking it down. It all just depended on the boil... but she wasn't going to attack him as she usually would at the moment; Bul was teaching her something new! The commentary was just to ensure he was going to be using all his ability in this game and not hold back on her.

She saluted Bul with two fingers flicking away from her forehead. Gotcha! Dun go hittin' tha ground. Let's giv 'er another go, eh?

She took in Bul's instructions for playing and nodded to show she understood. At his example, she had to chuckle. It was possible that the boil got a little nervous given that she'd complimented him- whoops. So this rough boil had a bit of a soft side. She'd keep this in mind next time and maybe compliment him some more. Afterall, this was trickery- not cheating. She liked to get a sly word in wherever possible.

At Bul's pass, she immediately thought don't let it hit the ground!!! and popped the ball on her knee, then her elbow, then her chest, then her other knee...

Aye-! This is pretty fun!

She got 8 good hits in before it wobbled out of sync and hit the floor. She frowned at first that it did so, but perked again that she'd just learned a new skill! and hey! Her legs weren't as stiff as she thought afterall!

Picking up the snotball, she underhanded it back to Bul with a grin. Surely, he'd have something to challenge him this time. So- how's that? Was I doin' it right?

Messy was fine by her. Back home this ghoul could be found wrestling up a boil or two in the dirt without a second thought about what was going on in regards to her attire. Any goop finding its way onto her jean overalls was not going to stop her from trying to hit that ball any which way she could. A challenge is a challenge.

She agreed with Bul on the front of strength versus skillful thinking in this case. The ball would not have fallen out of her sync if she hadn't broken her focus, perhaps. He certainly picked himself back up after that first example.

Aye-! She smiled at the compliment and was surprised at his sudden pass. Chuckling, she matched his bounces using her knees as well. So it's like we're both trying ta keep it from fallin'! Wonder how long ya can actually keep doin' this sorta thing She let the ball pass her next knee and flicked it off her toes back to Bul.

Aggressive. The keyword rang an alarm in her mind. This would be something for her to try as well one day. Oh yea? Bul, yer gonna hafta teach me this bruteball one day. Sounds like a good time n' ma opinion. But can ya knock tha others down er... ya not allowed ta make 'em bleed n' stuff? Sure, it was called bruteball, but she knew some games had rules about checking much to her dismay.

At his mentioning of different uses of the snot ball, she decided to take this opportunity to try a little something. She took up his pass with the back of her hand knocking it against the wall. Luckily at that speed, the ball didn't have enough time to fully stick so much as contort momentarily and spring back towards the tatzel. Whoa!She stopped the incoming ball with an elbow, then back to a knee and kneeing it back to Bul. Yea, that'd make things a lot trickier! See whatcha mean! Tricky always meant fun for Levi.

Her tail wavered about while Bul confirmed her expectations from a game called bruteball. Bruisin' ain't a problem. N' if this schools got a team goin', ye bet yer buckets I'll be thar. She wasn't too pleased with the idea of separated teams; if was to ply, she wanted to be fighting with/against the strongest in the school, not just the other ghouls because she happened to be one.

Yep...

never say never, Bul... she sighed. You'll jinx me. And with that, her first throw into the air, with a plan to hit it with her heel, led to her missing and the snot ball making a splat sound on impact with the floor. Snickering, she picked up and threw her gooey fallen ball back to the half beast. Ya see?! C'mon now, again, show me whatcha got, boil. She tried to cheer him on to get some results. If he'd just been holding out on her, the tatzel ghoul was going to let him have it after this game was done.
