Welcome to Gaia! ::

Why was she wandering back to the lake? Alexander had shown her this stupid lake and mentioned that parties sometimes happened down here. Well Michi wasn't rubbing elbows with the right sorts to know what parties were going down where. So she was having instead to do all the foot work herself and figure out if/where these things were going down.

Sadly, there were no parties going on down at the lake. In fact, there was a whole lot of nothing going on down at the lake. Not even those horrible, stuffy, boring garden parties with the little sandwiches. She scuffed a foot on the ground, and her upturned nose wrinkled as Michi scowled. Nothing to do today apparently. Her hands were shoved into her short pockets and she just stared at the lake. It was calm... and utterly boring. She felt like chucking things in it so it wouldn't be so calm. Like rocks... or people... or something.

What was this? Michi just stared at this hulking mass of wet muscles. She wasn't one to typically like water (smoke demon hur hur) but even she could not deny what was happening before her clear blue eyes in this moment. There was a boil, dripping wet in a loincloth standing before her with a friendly look on his face. He was tall (check), handsome (check), and you know... that was all she really cared about anyways before beginning to flirt.

Was she dreaming? Michi stopped herself with her hands halfway out of her pockets. She fought the urge to pinch herself with those long nails, or you know, flinging herself bodily at this hulking hunk. It was very hard for her mind to wrap around exactly what was going on here.

"uh, hey there handsome."

There was no fire behind her words because Michi was just... blown away by what had just happened. She was still by the lake, and they weren't in some sort of perfectly decorated tower with candles everywhere and the like... so it couldn't be one of those dreams. No, in reality this was probably happening. Boils like this were at Amity?! Well, now she was glad she had come to this school indeed! She quickly recovered, a smile plastering itself across her lips with her sharp teeth flashing. Smoke twisting about her body as she tried to figure out what to say that wasn't lame.

"So, walk around dripping wet often?"

Mission failure.

Oh. Well... this was... maybe a nightmare instead? The lake setting would make so much more sense if it was a nightmare. To meet such a wonderful looking boil, only to have him not understand what she was getting at in the least bit. Michi felt something within her wondering what sort of luck she was having around here. Danny didn't know anyone attractive, Alexander had flirted back but she never liked to put all her eggs in one basket. No she liked having several baskets to pluck from when needed.

"Yeah Herryk, I'm new to school. My name is Michi, and I am terribly new to Amity. I certainly haven't met anyone like you before."

Okay so maybe this was more subtle than he could understand. And Michi was considered a pretty forward ghoul, but this was hard for her to comprehend as well. What didn't he understand? She was hitting on him. Jacking school, jacking boils, jacking everything. Could nothing ever go her way? She wasn't giving up though. Maybe he was just having a moment. Water could do that to a person, it was such a horrible thing.

"It's good you don't walk around er-- drippy all the time Herryk, you'd probably make all the ghouls faint from the sight of you. I know I almost did."

Michi just stared at him. There was nothing else she could do. The smoke demoness just... stared. Her mind hurt from how hard she had laid it on him. And now it hurt from how hard he had missed it. There were no words to describe the emotions that were now flowing through Michi. So she did the only thing she could think of... and that was to go with it.

"How about you dry off and put that bit of fur back on. It should help greatly, I promise. And don't worry, you didn't scare me so much as just shock me. Being a smoke demon, I really don't like the water. It's cold, and I much prefer being warm."

She offered him a smile again, trying to smooth things over as much as possible. This big guy was... jack it all. Someone gives Michi a gift, and then takes it away. Life sucked man. Life really did suck for her.

"Did you at least get your thoughts sorted out?"

It only took the boil a few moments to get everything sorted out. Michi wished she could do the same when becoming presentable in the morning. Then again she wasn't exactly the same sort of person. She fussed with everything every single morning. Oh the life of a ghoul.

"I'm here at this school because I wanted to have fun. Life was boring back home, and I heard this place was pretty rad as far as things happening go. I don't suppose you'd know who throws parties and the what not, would you Herryk?"

It was like a little bit of her died on the inside as she mentally wrote Herryk's name on the list right after Danny's. Do not flirt with these two, they just don't get it. That list. Sad in Danny's case, because she was a pretty ghoul, but down right horrible in Herryk's case because of all those muscles. Jack it all.

"At least, I was hoping for some fun. I really haven't had too much since getting here."

"Ah, I've heard about the movie club. Danny told me about that and the music club. I'm supposed to go sometime." There were those two things to do. But they were just two things. Michi wanted a whole world of fun things to do! But maybe that was asking for too much, even here.

Field trips were dangerous? What was so dangerous about a silly field trip? Maybe he was pulling her leg or something here? Michi didn't think he'd be able to crack jokes like that considering he didn't get the flirting before hand. Unless he was just impervious to flirting. She could bet he was impervious to a few things with muscles like that.

"I uh, I'll try and remember that then. Uhm... what are your poofs Herryk?"

That was an interesting question to come out of her mouth. What the jack was a poof anyway?

Oh. He had a ghoulfriend. Maybe he was just one of those types. The ones who were in a relationship, and just couldn't realize anything outside of his ghoul. That was fine, Michi didn't like to steal anyone's koolaid. She had a bad experience in the past about hitting on another ghoul's boil. That really hadn't been pretty. But something about the word foxfire sounded good to the smoke demoness.

"I'm more than happy to meet them Herryk. Freya too."

Who knew, maybe she'd be hot too and Michi could just hit on them both or something. That would be interesting indeed. But what exactly was a foxfire? She hadn't been around too many pets because her mother hated them so and put her foot down where those things were concerned. Maybe they were adorable? Herryk certainly thought so. He called them his babies.

The grin that spread across his face made Michi chuckle. He really enjoyed his poofs... and his ghoulfriend apparently. But those were good things to enjoy... right? Michi had never enjoyed a sweet relationship or a pet. Odd how she was suddenly a little jealous of Herryk, and more jealous of his ghoulfriend.

"It's alright Herryk. I don't mind listening at all. You can talk all you want."

She smiled, and chuckled again before looking back at the lake. Would the mysterious depths give her another present while he spoke? Maybe this time a single present? She wouldn't mind if he was a near exact copy of Herryk either.

"What colors are Nanna? And her wings? My mother never like me have any pets, but I always thought they were nice." What would it be like to hold one? To cuddle it? The thought never occurred to her that she could have her own now that she was away from home and her mother. The red skinned ghoul was enjoying this (at least to her) light conversation.

"I'm glad you knew the difference, not every boil does. I'm sure Freya was glad you could tell the difference too."
