Today Lattice was simply out for a walk around the town in general. Today was a day for adventure!
Or just a walk. A walk was just as good. Lattice sometimes looked around seeing shadowy forms here and there because that is what made up her vision for the most part. She wasn't really out for any particular goal or desire she was just enjoying the fresh air and being outside of her room. Slowly but surely the ghoul was getting used to being at the Academy and in a new place in general.
Dare she say that she was starting to love it here? That might have been stretching it a bit far but she had made many good friends and acquaintances! She even tried out for a club that was much more than she ever dreamt of doing. Something caught her attention off to the side a small sign with a weird shape.
..What did this mean?

Charlie was out just being Charlie. There were no goals or even any motives to him being out and about. The demon shoved his hands in to his pockets letting his long sleeves stick out in an odd manner and drag behind him as he walked and whistled.
Then there was a rock in his path. A very good kicking sized rock. Charlie lifted a foot and WAM The rock hit the small sign that Lattice had been trying to figure out.
"BULLS EYE!" The demon did a little victory hand motion and went over to see the damage. To his surprise, the rock hadn't even dented the thing. He frowned in disapproval of the undented sign.
"Man I thought I kicked it harder," He mumbled and turned to Lattice. There was silence. Charlie was staring at her arms just a tad confused about why there were needles sticking out of a ghouls arms. Not that he hadn't seen his fair share of the strange. They lived in halloween. But he'd not yet seen a ghoul with spike like needles coming from her arm.
Silence was rare when it came to Charlie.

She was pretty intent on studying this sign and trying to figure out the meaning behind it! Lattice was so enthralled that she wasn't aware of anything else until the rock hit the sign with a nice loud sound startling her but she didn't act startled other than blinking rapidly behind her mask - otherwise her face stayed remarkably neutral thanks to all the training she went through.
The young Engraver blinked over at the voice that had shouted earlier and was talking to her now, "You were trying to hurt something?" She asked curiously. Was he trying to hurt her? Oh dear. What had she done now? Lattice tried not to fuss and focus too much on her worries of whether she'd done something to upset the boil.
"Something the matter?" Lattice interjected into the silence wondering why he seemed to be staring at her.

Charlie frowned still studying the the ghouls arms. He was intrigued to say the least. The demon completely ignored the ghouls first question though and for that matter her second question too.
"Your part cactus!" AHA! He'd figured it out. That was what those needley things were from. She had to be part cactus. Just had to be.
"So whats a cactus ghoul doing all the way out in town? I mean. This ain't no cow boy flick." Charlie looked over his shoulder when he uttered the word cow boy in fear he might have summoned that van driving p***k, Mot. Not to say Mot was a p***k. He wasn't. But Charlie had sworn he was a stranger and possibly a p***k who drove a van and kidnapped people with candy bribery.
"Yup. Cactus."

To say she was thrown off was probably not entirely accurate. In fact the boil had managed to punt her all the way into the realm of 'what the ********' and generally the Engraver didn't think in such terms. She stared at the shape of the demon before her. Just stared.
...What? Just what? Did he call her a Cactus? What is going on?
...Flick? What?
Lattice felt...lost.
The ghoul stood there for a long moment before shaking her head, "N-No I am not part cactus. I am an Engraver." Though she supposed he could call her cactus and she'd still respond to it but still the point was she wasn't actually a cactus and she wanted him to understand this. "Also, my name is Lattice."
..Somehow she felt like she was arming him with this knowledge.

"Nice to meet you Cactus ~" He had managed to ignore everything that Lattice just said. It was like Amrita with the nick name hard head all over again. Once Charlie made his mind up about something it was really hard to get him to change it. And he was convinced that Lattice was Cactus. They rhymed after all, kinda.
"Sooo..." Charlie squinted at the sign and then backed up. It wasn't so much what the sign said (not that Charlie could really read it) as much as what the sign was shaped as. A van.
"WHOAH... Bro. We need to get out of here .... now..." He started off in the oppisite direction he had come from, only stopping a moment to gesture Cactus to follow him.

As long as she got her actual name and such out Lattice didn't honestly mind being called Cactus as much as it confused her. As long as he kind of understood that she honestly wasn't part cactus. Hopefully.
....
Lattice decided not to focus on that before her head started to pain her. She fell silent when he seemed to observe the sign she was staring at and felt baffled once again when he called her a Bro and then told her that they needed to leave. She hesitated and looked back up at the sign. Was it a restricted area? She started to move after him, "But why? Why must we leave here? Is there danger?" Lattice asked her brow furrowing a bit.
Lattice wasn't aware that there were restricted places outside the academy as well. What a bother.

Of course where they were was not dangerous. To a sane person. But Charlie was not a sane normal person at all. He turned his head and frowned at Lattice.
"Nope, not safe at all." Was all the information he gave her. Charlie didn't want to stop until they were good and far away from that accursed sign. Vans. Pah! Just bad juju as far as Charlie was concerned. He did not want to come across that van driving cow boil.
It was good to note that Charlie had no real proof that Mot drove a van. And that Mot actually did not drive a van at all.
Still the demon often pressed the issue as hard as he could.
And finally. Charlie stopped. They had traveled all the way to the local conveyance store on the corner block. All Charlie could do now was hunch over while holding his knees and catch his breath.

Lattice followed the unusual boil out of curiosity and a bit out of concern she tried to keep up with him as best as he could befuddled as to what could be so unsafe about where they were standing. She paused near by when he stopped and watched him quietly as he bent and seemed to be out of breath.
"What was the danger that we had to get away from it?" She asked curiously. Lattice honestly wanted to know what could have hurt them where they were in the first place. Chances were that she'd probably believe him depending on what he said and how he said it.
Uncertain what else to do she reached out to touch at his shoulder, "You going to be alright?"

"I'll be fine," Charlie waved a long sleeved hand at the ghoul. He took a few more breaths before straightening him self some and stretching. "Might be the best bet to go in that local corner store though. Never know what dangers are out here," He cautiously looked over his shoulder. Charlie had still not answered Lattices question. Infact, he was already whistling and on his way in to the store.

To say that this boil was confusing her would probably be a bit of an understatement. She watched him as he waved his incredibly long and flexible arm at her (she couldn't make out where his sleeve started and arm ended) and told her that he was going to be fine.
She noted that her question went unanswered and his claim of 'dangers' made her uneasy so she was quick to wander after him so that she wouldn't be caught up in the supposed dangers that could be found in the world outside of the store, "May I ask what your name is?"
Otherwise he'd probably end up with a nickname soon enough as well. Something silly like 'Long Arm'.

"Charlie, Charlie Night," Of course it wasn't his true demon name he gave out. To be honest, Charlie had a lot of trouble pronouncing his true demon name. "Come on you should follow me k. That way your safe. This way~" The demon went ahead of 'Cactus' and straight for the corner store. Only, he stopped before reaching the door. Just out front a van parked. The demons brows went down in an annoyed way.His fists clenched.

"Pleased to meet you," She said with a small curious tilt of her head. There was something odd about this boil and she couldn't figure out what it was beyond his rather...eccentric behaviors. Lattice after a few moments decided to simply accept them.
Lattice uttered small affirmative sound pretty much stating that she'd follow him for now even if just simply because he'd managed to make her so curious about his behaviors. When he stopped she stopped gazing around trying to figure out what it was, "Charlie...Is everything okay?"
She gazed over where she saw an oddly shaped object and then looked up at Charlie. Was there something wrong? Was he waiting for someone? Lattice couldn't quite make out what was the matter by body language alone.

"Pleased to meet you too." He was looking shifty still. "Umm.. No. Vans.. Vans.."
The van glared at Charlie. At least the demon was pretty sure thats what the van did. His fists clenched even tighter. And before the demon knew what was what, he was kicking and punching said van with all his might he could muster.
"STUPID VAN GO AWAY!" He continued to punch.
*
The van, coincidentally, was rather offended. It stopped and stared at Charlie in shock. "What did I ever do to you?!

Lattice wasn't certain what to do with the demon after he suddenly lunged an attack at the (not moving) van. She stared after him for a long moment as she looked about to see if she could garner some assistance from somewhere - anywhere. Maybe something to distract him and get him out of view of the van would be nice.
She wasn't sure what he had against the van-object but apparently he held a very deep, deep loathing for them.
No doubt this was going to end terr--did it just talk?!
The Engraver hurried toward the Demon hoping he wouldn't flail into her, "Charlie! Look inside they are um..." she risk a glance through the glass door, a (thankfully inked) sign said something about half-priced pizza, "they are selling pizza for half price. Are you hungry?" Her voice was heightened with emotion due to her minor amount of panic at this situation.
