Siobhan had wanted to revisit the springs for some time now. Not only that, she missed her tattooist friend, who was also quite the gossip. Just the sort of company Siobhan liked to keep.
The short banshee bobbed her way toward the other ghost's dorm room and gave her door a tap or two. "Neeeeedle! Friend Needle! I have a splendid idea for a friend date!"

Needle had actually been sleeping when Siobhan saw fit to knock on her door. At first the Engraver didn't stirr, decided that she was dreaming the Banshee's voice and that it would go away soon; the problem came when the voice didn't stop. In fact, it got louder...And then it promised a friend date, she decided to get up to investigate. If this was a dream, her mind was cruel. If this was real, then it would likely prove to be an absolutely fascinating experience.
She dragged herself out of bed, idly ran her fingers through short sections of sleep-tussed hair, fixed the mask on her face and finally ghosted towards the door. When she opened it she was slouching, her long hair everywhere and more importantly she was yawning.
"Friend Siobhan." Needle greeted sleepily, mimicking the ghoul. "You are not a dream~" She decided out loud, leaning her shoulder against the door frame, her head shortly following. "What is a friend date?"

Siobhan bounced excitedly as her sleep tousled friend answered the door. "I am not a dream! I am a banshee." She responded, mildly confused but a dopey smile still lingering on her face. "I have been reading many magazines on boils and friendship, and a friend date is a day out with a friend! I would very much like to spend time with you discussing my findings from the latest Teen Scream."
The long haired banshee fiddled with her finger tips, gasping suddenly and pulling out a bag she had shouldered. "I have planned a trip to the local Hot Spring! Since you are of Asian backgrounds, I saw fit for us to go to a place you would be comfortable. This is a fun hot spring where I met wonderful people and fantastic Mole Rats of gigantic sizes."
The long winded banshee breathed a sigh, then pulling out magazines. Fully laminated. "Perhaps you would spend the day with me?" Her big, round eyes stared up at the taller ghoul, almost pleading with her to accept.

Needle let the little banshee prattle on, offering the ghost of a smile as she was corrected about being a dream. "You most certainly are." She agreed; after all, not even in her dreams could she imagine someone so very loud. The more and more the ghoul prattled on the more appealing this friend date was beginning to be. A day with a friend? Talking about Teen scream? Hot springs?! Oh yes, this trip was turning out to be a fantastic idea all around.
"Mole Rats of Gigantic Sizes?" She repeated curiously, her brows lifting behind her mask and yet remaining hidden; the only indication that she was curious was her voice. Mle rats of gigantic sizes; she didn't even know what a mole rat was, but it sounded interesting enough! "That sounds---" Needle started, before going into stunned silence as the inky glory of fully laminated Teen Scream magazines were brought to her line of sight. How she knew they were laminated she had no idea; she just knew. She could feel it deep down in her ghostly core.
"--Amazing, Siobhan. I would love to spend the day with you! May I have a moment to get ready? You may come in if you like." She had to brush her hair, and change out of her sleeping attire, maybe bring some ink with her just in case. SO MANY THINGS TO PLAN!

"Yes~ They are marvelous creatures. However, I think they were taken to a reserve. I miss them so." The banshee frowned, wanting her noble steeds back.
She perked up considerably as Needle agreed, walking right on in. From what she had seen in Skelevision shows and in magazines stories, ghouls often stayed together in pairs, even when changing. The ghoul clung to her bag, squealing a bit as she got anxious and excited.
Ghoul date!

"That is certainly unfortunate!" Needle agreed, waiting until Siobhan was in her mostly empty room before closing the door, shifting to kneel on a pillow near a small table with a few small items on it; one being a brush. First she started to comb through her long hair; though Siobhan certainly had longer. "Tell me friend, you've been to this place before? Tell me of it!"
As Siobhan rambled on, Needle finished brushing her hair, dressed in a fresh kimono (an actual kimono, however still sleeveless due to reasons), flipped through some of the laminated issues of Teen Scream that the ghoul brought over. Then they left the dorms, the campus and eventually the area entirely. The entire way Siobhan both lead the mostly blind Engraver and talked, regaling her with every tiny minute detail of the trip, down to the names of the people she met and what they happened to be wearing that day. Everything.
"Fascinating, my friend." Needle murmured, standing outside of the Hot Springs (and where they had been standing for a good half hour now); yet she was not sorry she asked. It made the trip go by faster somehow! "This is the place then?"

Oh how she rambled. Truth be told, it was a wonder Siobhan didn't get lost finding the Springs. Actualy, that is a lie. She did get lost, however, since she was so busy talking it never seemed that she didn't know where she was going. It only took that much longer to find the Cave that held the spring.
"Ah! Yes~ This is the place. Inside this cave is the Amityville Hot Springs." The banshee shuffled inside, leading her engraver pal into the warm cave.
Many small springs littered the inside of the cave, various tunnels leading to other sections, such as the lava springs and so forth that Siobhan had likely mentioned in her tales. The small ghoul set her bag down and stripped out of her long dress right then and there. She had prepared! Her magazines had told her to bathe nude, but she was not sure if that was proper on a first meeting, so instead she wore a bikini she had purchased earlier in the day.
"I packed towels! Do you require a towel? I am not as versed in Hot Spring etiquette as I would like to be."

Once they were in the dark cave where Needle's already terrible eyesight grew nearly null, she leaned down just enough to pick up a long, trailing handful of Siobhan's hair. With her new guide ghost leading the way she easily kept up, looking this way and that as certain shapes and sounds caught her attention. So many things to look at, so little time! It seemed that the walk was coming to a short end, and she could make out the movements and ruffles of clothing that meant Siobhan was stripping.
"Ah...A towel? Sure, if you are using one. I usually bathe nude." She said easily enough; the manor had access to hot springs for bathing time, and a group of Engravers with no shame meant a lot of flesh, however unseen save for the shape of their tattoos. Her arms bent at awkward angles to avoid tearing her clothes as she unwound her long tattered obi, and continued to slide the rest of her sleeveless kimono off of her body, stripping naked as shamelessly as ever.
"Perhaps we can save the towels to dry off after?" Needle had no problems being naked (though of course she never took off her mask, ever), and clearly didn't mind her little friend doing the same. What was there to see, after all? Nothing.

Ah! So nude was the way to go! well the, not about to let Needle be naked all by herself, Siobhan went right ahead and stripped out of her bikini. "Good idea! I'll place them right beside the baths." Siobhan set a neat pile of towels down, then made a move to hold Needle's hands.
"Is it too dark? I can help you into the bath, Friend Needle." Needle seemed okay in most places, but not so well here in the dark cave. The banshee led Needle into the hot and bubbling hot spring, the soothing water immediately making Siobhan remember why she loved this place so much.
"Aaaaah~" She let go of her friend and waded toward the edge again, rifling through her bag to get out the laminated magazines. Printed in ink underneath, for the seeing impaired. Siobhan anxiously handed over one of the magazines, grinning ear to ear.

"Thank you, Friend Siobhan." Needle mimicked the Banshee again, a slight smile on her lips. "You are very sweet, only without the horrific after-affects." Sweet things generally meant writhing in pain for a day or so after, but Siobhan was the sort of sweet that was heartwarming, not pain-enducing...even if she did like pain!
She took a seat on one of the rocks, the water rising to her chest and her hair becoming dark tendrils in the hot, bubbling water. "Excellent!" The Engraver's stained hands clapped together, taking the for-the-seeing-impaired ink magazine as it was offered, admiring the laminated cover before opening to the first page. "This is already an amazing idea, well done~" An ad for Zombitos, cute. The page was turned and she mulled over the title of the article for a bit; she didn't lower it to look at Siobhan as there was no point. "Have you ever kissed a boil?"

Sweet? She was sweet? Ooooh the only person to ever say such nice things was Akubi and his Auntie. The banshee crooned happily, sitting on a rock as well, letting the water rise to her collar bone. She was so pleased her idea to laminate the magazines was well thought of, smiling proudly as she flipped a page.
Needle's question came out of the blue, and the banshee blushed a bright glowing blue, squeaking in surprise. "K-k-k-kiss!?" She stammered, giggling shyly, and hiding behind her magazine. "N...n....n-no." She replied, grinning dumbly behind her glowing blush.

"Kiss." Needle confirmed eagerly, noticing that the area around her friend seemed to get brighter. Cute! Being as...Needle as ever the ghoul swished in the water, sliding up closer to her small, blushy friend. "And why nooooot?" She teased, still holding the magazine above the water out of habit.

Siobhan bit her lip, shoulders hunching up as Needle slided closer. "C-cause! Eheheee.." She giggled, holding her magazine up to hide her face, however pointless a move it was in the presence of a blind person.
"Oh! Have yooooou kissed a boil?" Siobhan asked back, trying to turn the tables.

"Because whyyyy?" She insisted, leaning in close to the ghoul who was playing coy. When the question was turned back to her her smile widened into a near grin for only a moment before it faded back into a small smile. "Yes, I have." Needle answered honestly, sliding back to her own rock and her own magazine as if nothing happened. Oh yes, if Siobhan wanted any details, she'd have to draw them out of the Engraver.

"Whaaaaaat!!?!?!?" Siobhan cried out, leaning forward as Needle retreated. "No no no! You must dish the juicy details!" She insisted, clinging to her lamanated magazine against her bare chest.
