The common room wasn't as grand as the rooms back home, but he had to admit that it was a pretty nice place to chill... Apart from his own room, anyway. Besides, he was supposed to get to know more people while he's here in school, and it wasn't like he could meet anyone by being cooped up in his room all day.
"I like this place," Biskoto spoke up suddenly, as if reading his mind. She was coiled up in front of the fireplace, the light from it reflecting off her scales as she looked up at the reaper, forked tongue flicking in and out, "It'sss all warm and cozy, don't you agree, darling?" She was just really, really, really fond of the fireplace; it reminded her of a heat lamp, but there was a certain charm about it.
"It's well furnished," He chuckled, putting his elbow on the arm of armchair he had made himself comfortable in, before resting his cheek against the back of his hand. His gaze wandered from the fire to his familiar in front of it, a smirk on his face, "I'm surprised that a public school such as this could afford to do up its common room this much... I imagine the common room in the Demon dorms must cost a fortune."

"Hey now don't go hogging all the fire to yourself." The cat chirrped as it strolled into the room, ignoring the boil in his chair moving right over to his reptilian familiar flopping down beside it purring lazily. "Cat's gota have its time by the fire just like you," it said with a wink.
Moments later False wandered in, a roll of Crescent Moon Grass tucked between his lips and a book under his arm. He wasn't sporting his robe or jacket today. Just black pants, bare feet, and a simple sleeveless shirt, black as well. "Hey, hey, don't go bothering someone's Familiar cat." He waved the rolled grass at the cat huffing and blowing a bit of smoke in the cats direction before dropping into a seat beside the other boils.
"Damn thing is gona get it's self popped again if it keeps doing stuff like that." He glanced to the boil beside him, "I'm guessing the snakes yours?" He paused, "Aren't you from the Elements class?"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare dream on it, darling!" She moved a bit to make way for the other familiar, flicking her tongue out at the cat before tilting her head, looking as baffled as a snake could look, "You don't ssssssmell like a normal feline."
Thanatos seemed unfazed at the talking cat - he had seen weirder talking creatures - and when its owner entered the room, he sat up, looking in their direction, his eyes following them until they took a seat beside him. He grinned, extending a hand out in the boil's direction, "Why, I didn't know that smoking is allowed on school grounds." He didn't seem to mind the smell though, as he continued, still grinning away, "Thanatos, and that's-"
"- Biskoto!" The snake chipped in, inclining her head to look in the new reaper's direction, offering him a snaky smile.

Sharpie purred happily at her response, friendly for a snake! So he flopped down happily even going as far as to scoot over and snuggle up beside Biskoto warm fur, heat, and snake making for a very pleasant spot on the floor. "I'm not normal. I'm a Familiar. Just like any other talking well mannered creature roaming this dorm!"
False took the hand after placing his book down shaking with a grin taking another drag on the grass. "Dun know if it is, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. I grow the stuff in my room. All dependent on how much moon light they get. Pleasure to meet you Thanatos, I'm False." He looked over at the familiars nodding to Biskoto, "And that cat would be Sharpie."
"Sharpie Fate at your service, well, mostly Falses." The cat added as its tail curled around its self leaving a trail of ink in its wake.

"Yessss, well, you ssssmell rather-" She paused briefly, noticing, for the first time, the ink from the cat's tail, "-inky." A series of soft, low hisses, which made her sound like she was giggling, followed as she gently - as gently as she could anyway - coiled around the other familiar once, giving its cheek a nuzzle.
"In your room? I wonder if that's legal too," His grin widened ever so slightly as he chuckled, "It's a pleasure to meet you both... Been in this school long?"

"I do pride myself on my natural FEAR of ink and oils. It's quiet nice isn't it?" He happily let the snake curl around him purring all the while as she snuggled into a rather firm cuddle nuzzling at his cheek. Any other reaper who saw this would likely be confused as to why a snake was cuddling a cat, but hey, strange was the normal here.
"What it's like having a little window planter.... except I keep the window shut most of the time and behind a blackout curtain." He took a light drag on the roll before letting out a light trail of smoke. "Besides, it's culture from where I'm from. The grass relaxes muscles, even has healing properties. I like it for the taste, as for how long I've been here. Ehhh not too long?" He shifted in the chair tapping his chin, "I got accepted during that whole Giftmas thing. I was in the mall and staying at a place near by till my family sorted out the paper work to get me out of their hair."
He sighed dramatically, "They said they where tired of me being a disappointment, causing trouble, besmirching the family name of Deity..."
The cat chimed in again, "You uncanny skill for causing property destruction in the family house hold?"
"Oh that too, the cat's right. I loved blowing stuff up around the house."

"Very much ssssso," She hissed happily, glad to meet another familiar apart from Endzela; she was starting to think that they were rare or hard to find around the school!
"I see," He grinned, "Not too fond of smoking myself, but I think we should be able to get along based on family alone." He couldn't resist chuckling as he leaned against the back of the chair, "Families expect a lot, don't they? Except I've always just done my part - you know, things go smoother that way, you get into less trouble, and they nag at you less. Apparently, I was sent here so I could make connections, friends," He waved his hand in the air, "That sort of thing."

Sharpie was completly content in the small snake and cat cuddle pile by the fire, his head continued to bump lazily at the snakes chin inky tail swishing back and forth behind him between her coils. "Do you do anything special for a snake? Some familiars are very strange, like the Shibey fellow who follows Miss Anna."
"Give it a try sometime, not nearly as bad as that tobacco stuff, or pumpkin grass. I can even start you easy, a little crescent moon, light and green...." He seemed to trail off into his own mind thinking about his plants. "They do, families always want 'that golden child' the one who's going to wear the name proud." He took a long drag blowing a bitter puff of smoke into the air. "I didn't like being a part of some plan, hell I didn't like being given the cat related to my parents familiars. It's like they couldn't trust me to do stuff on my own they had to leash me even with the one creature I would spend my life with."
He paused, "Cat's not all bad though I guess, he's getting... better." He glared daggers at the cat who only batted his eyes and continued nuzzling at his new friends chin.
"Soley sent to get me out of their hair and life pretty much. Wouldn't be shocked if I came home and found out they had another pumpkin and replaced me with a better son. Least I have my own place kinda and doing what ever. People tend to not get quiet as upset when something I'm studying goes wrong and a window gets blown out..."

"Missssss Anna? Sssshibey?" Those names were unfamiliar to her, although her thoughts soon wandered from that, enjoying how affectionate the cat was, "Sssspecial... I ssssupposssse most sssnakes my sssize and type choossse to conssstrict their prey to death, but I'm venomoussss too. What about you, darling? I sssssee that you're filled with ink! What doesss that do?" That was special... Of course, Thanatos wouldn't be able to cast spells or use his FEAR without her, but that was a given for all familiars and their reapers.
"Maybe someday I will, since you insist," He laughed, stroking his chin, "Golden child... I'll be honest here, and say that if I get a younger sister, life at home would become so much more interesting." A grin, "But I suppose that the fates-" His grin widened just a bit as he glanced at the familiar cuddle pile, "-are against them."
Three families, and only his was without a female heiress.
"The basement of this dorm has a lovely place for casting spells," He grinned at False, looking thoughtful, "Reinforced walls pretty much stops it from collapsing at explosive spells."

"Yes Miss Anna is another reaper, a ghoul she's very timid and her familiar is a jerk." He nodded his head before returning to nuzzling at his new friend coiled around him. "Venom and squeezing? Should I be worried now that I'll get a fatal kiss," chirped the cat with a chuckle before continuing to nuzzle. "The Ink is fuel for fire and magic, it has all kinds of uses beyond just being ink."
"Golden rule Thantos, don't knock it till you try it." He chuckled taking another drag causing the grass to wear down to the very last inches of roll. "Ugh I'd feel sorry for what ever pumpkin my parents whip up... they'd disown me and create a living hell for the new kid in their lives." He followed the other boils gaze tp the familiar cuddle pile chuckling again.
"Don't go eating my familiar now alright? That cat might be a brat but I do need hi-" He paused mid sentance turning back to Thantos, "A basement for practicing? Reinforced walls?" Green eyes danced with delight as he leaned over, "I believe you have to show me where this is now, no fair getting me all excited for a blast proof room and then leaving me hanging without a chance to test out just how good it is..."
Sharpie perked up between the coils wrapped around him, "Ooooooh oh oh oh can we go please please please Mr. Thantos!"

"Oh dear," She hissed, looking concerned for his 'Anna' even if they had never met before; just the idea of a timid ghoul with a jerk for a familiar was enough to make her feel rather sympathetic towards her, "A jerk? That musssst be awful! After all, a familiar is ssssomeone you're stuck with for a long time! Ssssometimesss forever!"
She relaxed, however, as the topic shifted back to familiar abilities, and she did look impressed at what Sharpie had to say. She looked surprised, and then amused as she shook her head, "Not at all, darling! If I hug you too tightly, you are free to ssssay so!" Since she seemed to do that a lot, without realizing it.
"Do you not know where it is?" He laughed, raising an eyebrow as he grinned, first at the reaper and than at his familiar, "Since you asked so nicely, there's no reason for me to turn you down, is there?" Pushing himself off the armchair, he didn't even bother pushing it back where he found it - the next person will thank him for moving it in front of the fireplace anyway - as he adjusted his jacket and grinned at False, "Let's go blow things up."
Somehow that worried Biskoto a bit. Just a little bit.

"I know... he seems... Aloof. I don't know how else to put it. He really seems odd for a Familiar. I mean I make False misserable sometimes."
False cut in rolling his eyes as he adjusted his glasses, "All the time you ink soaked pest."
"Most of the time, he exaggerates," of course neither side was going to admit to that as Sharpie cuddled in some more. "We work wonderfully when we put our slight differences aside. Honestly. I'd bet one of my nine lives on it. As for hugs I feel perfectly happy right now~" To prove his point he closed his eyes and vibrated with a deep purr of delight.
Meanwhile False just shook his head, stupid cat. It would get love from ghouls that weren't even ghouls; a Familiar or a mini, anything for a warm cuddle and attention.
"Honestly not a clue, I moved in and conducted most of my work in my room... not exactly blast proof as I umm learned the hard way once." Standing up he rubbed his hands together, flame licking out between his fingers.
"A splendid idea my new best friend." He said with a grin.
Where Biskoto seemed worried Sharpie only cracked a single eye open to wink at the snake, he loved where this was going.

Biskoto was more than happy to supply the attention, really; she liked cuddling when she wasn't accidentally constricting anyone, and they were currently by a warm fire, which had put her in an incredibly good mood... Even better than usual, not that it stopped her from worrying the moment 'explosions' and 'blow things up' were concerned.
She wasn't a very pro-explosion kind of snake.
"Your room?" He had to laugh at that, giving the boil a few pets on his back as he grinned, "Can't imagine that your neighbors are too happy about that." Once Biskoto was ready to go, he went ahead and picked her off the floor, placing her whole length on his shoulder and allowing her to coil around his arm before leading the way to the stairs to the basement.
"I've never actually been down there," He paused briefly as he peered at the flight of stairs before making his way down, trusting False and Sharpie to follow.

Sharpie didn't budge not a bit as they cuddled by the fire him and his new BFF Biskoto, she gave amazing hugs and that was a sure fire thing. He squirmed ever so slightly reaching a paw to pat her head gently again leaving a single inky paw print on her. "Looks like it's time for some fun!"
He hopped out of the coil of snake, trotting after False, without missing a beat the reaper held out an arm to let the cat climb his shoulder sitting beside his head nuzzling happily.
"Yep. My room, went flying out a window one day because I ummm kinda set off a few swamp gases I had popped open. Big explosion, out the window with me actually."
Black boots slicked on the floor as he followed the other reaper shrugging, "It's a dorm full of warlocks and warriors. Noise can't be that big of a deal right?" The door clicked open and he started down the steps grinning, "Well now is a good time as ever right?"
When they arrived they found dummies, chests of tools, beacons items all kinds of things. A few desks lay scattered about and False wasted no time shoving them back back against walls and clearing space in the middle of the room.
"Hey, hey Biskoto! You wanted to see how my ink works riiiiiight?" He cackled happily leaping off False, running in circles in the room as False reached down running his finger against Sharpie gathering ink. Together the two started to draw a circle.
"Burn fast," chirrped the cat, "Burn bright," came the boils response as Sharpie hopped onto his shoulder trotting along towards False's now out stretched hand. "And lead lost souls to flames light." Suddenly False was throwing sharpie who was on freaking fire into the middle of the circle causing a much larger pillar of flame to shoot up.
"Ohhhh I'm going to love this room."

Biskoto did not see the inky paw print - obviously - but Thanatos did, and apart from a smirk, did and said nothing about it.
"An explosion throwing you out of a room? Sounds like fun," He chuckled and then went quiet, cupping a hand over his ear with a raised eyebrow; it almost looked like he was waiting for something. After a second or two, he lowered his hand and grinned at his fellow reaper, "What noise? I'll have to say that it's been pretty quiet since I arrived~ You must be the noisiest reaper I've met so far."
Then again, although it was a school, he hadn't seen much students working on their spells, apart from that initial 'elements' class they were in where they were required to draw spell circles... And even then, some of the year 2s didn't look like they knew what they were doing... And Amity was supposed to be a 'good school'?
"Yessss, very much ssso!" Biskoto nodded, clearly eager and excited as she looked at Sharpie. When they started to draw a circle on the floor, she found herself staring in anticipation - and when the familiar burst into flames, she looked both shocked and in awe, "You're so... Bright!" That was how he appeared to her, anyway.
"Ah, very flashy," Thanatos comment with a small smile, eyeing the pillar of fire that they had created, "It almost makes me sad that my forte is something a lot more tamed." He wasn't really though; he liked the abilities he was born with - which was obvious from the grin currently plastered on his face, "Biskoto would never be able to support a spell like that for long."
