Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freya had spent the entire day in her room. She had put up various upholsteries, covered the bed with her father's fur coat, unpacked all of her little wooden amenities, and finally flopped down on the couch her father had made them order. It was just like a tiny version of the one they had at home, and she instantly sagged into the couch, almost disappearing in it's folds. It was soooo good.

Lastly, she would consider unpacking her outfits. But the couuuch, the coouuuuuuuch.. she didn't want to get up. That was the danger with this thing.. it swallowed you whole and never let you leave.

But eventually she managed to climb out of it and get back to work, putting away her clothes while quietly singing to herself. The sound still managed to penetrate, however, if only because her Fear was tied inexorably to her voice, even without her control.

"Mellom blåklokkene, Sitter en jente med blonde fletter~
En blå-eyed engel, Med jordbær kinn~
Spell har bundet meg, Jeg bodde en drøm~
Norweigan hjemland, Mitt hjerte tilhører deg!"

The music died out instantly, like a bird being choked out of their song, and a moment later Freya opened the door with a wide swing to get a look at her visitor. What an interesting looking young lady! Very sharp and dangerous - Freya liked that. Whoever she was could probably handle herself well in a fight.

"Ho, hallo friend! What brings you to my door today?"

"Ach, I'm so sorry! Come on, come inside." She gestured for Lattice to enter, but her voice sounded extremely apologetic. "Did it bother yeh? I thoughts these walls would keeps the sounds in! Blast, I hopes I wasn't botherings the neighbors.."

She mumbled the last few thoughts to herself as she closed the door, and turned to face the ghoul. "My name's Freya, friend! I just arrives a few days ago, very new! Don't know many peoples, I suppose. What's your name, then?"

It wasn't as though Lattice had asked to enter. Nor did she ask to be introduced. Freya just.. sucked her in, the way she usually did with new people. Took her in and adopted her as her own.

"Hah!" The short, but guffawed laughter was a sharp sound. "Then we're both new, hah? Lattice, that's a good name. I likes it! Sharps as you look, I'd say. Make yourself comfortables, Lattice. You are only interruptings me from being bored, after all! Who wants to stands here and puts their things away in the silence, with no one to talks to? Crazy peoples, that's who! Freya is not crazies, not at all."

She went straight back to putting her clothing in the closet, but easily managed to keep up a conversation while she did so. "That's very kinds of yeh to say, I hope so too. To be honest, I'm here to makes sure my sister is not in troubles. She wrotes me some letters, I gets worried. That is how it goes, ja?"

She turned to the ghoul, tilting her head. "Maybe you knows! Have you met Hel? She is my sister, youngest of the lot. My little crumpet, hah. Why did you comes to the schools, then, friend Lattice?"

"New things." Freya was thoughtful about the last thing Lattice had said, and she was checking out the wrinkles on one of her dresses as she thought on it. "I thinks that's a very good reasons to come to the schools. Hel wanted the same things. She was vary excited to comes here, and I thinks she's getting exactly what she wanted." She hung the dress up on the rack, and turned to grin at Lattice.

"I thinks she woulds be happier if I had not come to ruin her funs, but ehh, I can't helps it! I worry. I loves her so."

Freya put the last of her dresses away, closed the closet, and hopped over to flop down in the couch. It would give Lattice some push upward, but otherwise it remained the plush, soft haven it always was. "And thanks yeh, I like being fierce. All meh sisters has fierce names! Papa named his ghouls well." She leaned in, as if she was telling Lattice a secret - but really it was a mundane bit of information. "We're Norse, yeh see. Very proud culture. Just like tha songs yah heards me singing when you passed by! Sorry about that again, by the by."

She bounced on the couch, consequently bouncing Lattice as well. "Whats yehr sister's name then?"

Freya stopped bouncing for a moment, considering the words Lattice offered her. They sounded very smart.. full of wisdom! Freya just knew if she ever had a problem, she would come to this ghoul for some advice! It would be nice to have someone to come to, here in the school. She was used to having a pretty strong support base, with so many sisters to go to - but she was also used to being the older, wiser one.

And she certainly did not enjoy asking her eldest sister for advice. Ugh.

"I knows a Japanese ghoul once! She was vary pretty." Freya leaned in, brushing her hand against the long, silken strands of hair beside Lattice's face, and grinned. "Not as pretty as yeh, of course! Yehr hair is likes so dark, and shiny." The backs of her fingers brushed against Lattice's cheek as she pulled away. "And soft skin, hah? Lattice, yeh has to be careful, I'll fall in loves with yeh any minute now!" Freya's bubbling laughter was loud and full of life.

"Needle and Lattice." Freya tasted the names in her mouth, as she continued to play with Lattice's hair inappropriately. She was certainly fond of touching, wasn't she? "Ohh, I gets it. She has the sharp points like yeh, hah? Yeh two would makes for some challenges in the battlefield, mmm. Very nice!" What kind of defense could one use against an opponent covered in needles? It was a question Freya would ponder on for some time later on!

"Meh free times?" She paused in brushing her fingers through Lattice's hair, to think about that. "Well, guess I likes to fights, and eats, and sings! But I has to apologize for my singings, yeh see." She pouted visibly. "Voice, best weapon I has. We sing, and it makes peoples confused. Lost. Sometimes they don't knows what they were doing. Somethings bad could have happened, yeh know? I would have felts vary bad. Vary, vary bad."

She was right about Lattice - a very smart ghoul! "Ach, Lattice! Trust me, that's a good thing! You don't wants to be in love, Lattice. Love is a four letters word. You and me, we're on the sames page, Lattice. No fallings in love for us. We can just be ******** buddies, ja?"

Lattice was just so much fun to joke around with! She was quiet, and sweet, and Freya loved to make inappropriate jokes and make people squirm.

As if she wasn't just talking about sex with Lattice, she made an 'oooh' noise as she digested the information of Lattice's ink sight. "Yeh mean yeh can't see me right now?" She pouted. "Do I needs to take an inks bath, and then yeh can sees who yehr talking to?"

Lattice's question made Freya grin like a cheshire cat. She was chuckling, high pitched, but she stifled it so she could answer the question without sounding condescending.

"Aiya, you are most precious, little Lattice. Kjønn, knulle, the times in the beds where you touch your partner between the legs and make them cries out your name in ecstasy. I think perhaps Freya has gone too far with the jokings if you didn't know what that was, hah? I will stop teasing you, pretty ghoul, I promise."

It was a promise she'd probably break. Repeatedly.

"I don't haves any tattoos, yet. I wants one! I wants several. I would look good with a nice tattoos along my legs, I thinks. Proud, fear-inspiring tattoos, ja. My skin colors, it is very light, you are missings nothing special." She laughed under her breath and bounced on the couch again. "You likes my couch? Papa bought it for me. Made of real foxfire fluffs!"
