She was a ghoul he knew in passing. She had always seemed sweet, but he’d not spoken to her directly in all his years at Amity. She’d been around quite a while herself to boot! This was something in dire need of rectification. At least it was to Israfel. Cocking his head to the side, he debated how to say hi. Direct seemed like a good way. He just had to be mindful not to regress and begin asking all the questions. He was really working on that. Crossing his arms the sire thought a little harder. What else could he do? Oh! Fit slapped into open palm he smiled. He could talk to her about her clothes! She had always been in really cute outfits. Yes, he could talk to her about clothes. Israfel was excited. He was going to try and make a friend.

When was the last time Xiu had baked anything? Considering how busy she had been lately, it felt like it had been forever since her room was filled with the sweet smell of cupcakes and spookies. She chose to wake up early that morning so that she could drop by the grocery store and purchase the necessary ingredients. What she hadn't been expecting, however, was to run into a familiar face at the school gates.
The baku had just arrived back at Amityville when she noticed a spot of blue from the corner of her eye. That was..."Oh! Israfel, right?" Hanging onto her bag of groceries with both hands, she trotted up to him, lips spread into a friendly smile. "You're up early!"
It was a little strange, really, that she was finally talking to the siren after this long. She obviously recognized him, and they had--possibly?--exchanged some words in the past, but they hadn't spoken much beyond that. Having just become a third year student fairly recently, now seemed like as good a time as any to finally get to know Israfel. After all...after this year came graduation, right?
The baku glanced left and right, and then back to Isra, cocking her head to the side as her pink eyes grew round with curiosity. "What brings you out here right now?"

The siren was giving her wide eyes and a smile. Slightly creepy if you know. Israfel posed any actually danger and not just possible embarrassment if he caught you with someone for shipping purposes. He was about as dangerous as a foxfire. Looking her up and down, Israfel tried to remember what exactly his plan was aside from talk about cloths and make friends. One second in and he gave up in order to go with his gut. "It's not super early. And I came out here to say Hi to you and to possibly talk about clothes and ships?" The last part was unexpected but hey, it happened. "Plus it's just the fact while we have been in school so long.. we've never really hung out, and it would probably be good if we did."

The expression was a little unnerving, enough so to cause Xiu's eyes to widen slightly. W-why was he...looking at her like that? She wasn't so sure, but aside from the look he was giving her, he seemed innocent enough. Very friendly, at the very least!
She was caught off guard when he revealed that he had wanted to talk to her, but when he told her his reasoning, the baku couldn't help but grin a little. Sure enough, they had both had the same thought. Considering how she hadn't had much else planned today, why not take the opportunity now that it had presented itself to her, right?
"That would be nice! I need to drop this stuff off in my dorm though, if you wanted to drop by maybe?" She lifted the bag in her hands, and then grinned, "I'd be happy to get to know you better. I wouldn't mind talking about clothing and...um..."
Xiu suddenly frowned, knitting her brows together in obvious confusion. "Clothing and...ships? I-I mean, I don't know much about boats, but..."

If he had a tail, it would have been wagging. Sadly, Israfel lacked a tail, though he did have two earwings, which fluttered at the prospect of hanging out and making friends and doing all the things. Nodding, he explained. "Oh not boating ships, but more the ships of people. Like Shericho. Rileyodore. Calder and Barth. I haven't figured out a ship name for them yet but I will." He muttered. "Romantic ships, friendships, hateships, those ships. But.. boats are fine too, so long as we are sinking them. Professor Savage is very much for the sinking of the boats after all." It was the true way for the shipper. Some boats just had to be sunk after all. She said she had to drop off her things so, without asking he started walking to the dorms before turning to face her. "Um... are you a monster?" He'd never asked, but he was pretty sure he'd not seen her in the monster dorms before.

Xiu was staring at the earwings with a sense of fascination when she suddenly realized that he was speaking again. She snapped to attention, her tapir-shaped ears pricking up slightly as she listened to his explanation with...well, with some confusion. There were ships other than boating ships? ...Shericho? Rileyodore? Those sounded kind of familiar for some reason. And Calder and Barth were...
"Oh!" The baku suddenly brightened up, her tail swishing excitedly as she clasped her hands in front of her. "Like...pairings, right?" Now that she thought about it, she had heard this "shipping" term being thrown around on the interwebs. It seemed to commonly refer, as Israfel had explained, different relationships, not only romantic ones.
Interesting! She had learned something new!
When the siren began to walk forward, Xiu began to trot after him, only to be caught off guard by his sudden question. What--oh. Oh! "Ah, n-no, I'm not," She grinned sheepishly, lifting a hand to rub at the back of her neck, "I'm actually a demon!"

Ah, so that is what she called it? Pairings were a term he was familiar with too. "Yes, just shipping is more diverse? At least that is how it seems to me. So while I pair, I also ship. It makes it easier with somethings. Pairs can be ships, but not all ships can be pairs? If that makes sense?" He felt a bit odd talking about ships but.. It had been so long since he'd talked about them properly. "I ship Shericho. Er Shehk and Jericho. They are good for each other even if they do not pair, they are good with each other." Smiling he looked over to the demon dorms, nodding before walking. It was a quick, rather brisk walk over, though, Israfel would just admit, he was excited. "Do you want me to wait outside? I know demons can get a little..testy with us monsters sometimes."

It was clear on Xiu's face that she was trying very hard to figure out this whole shipping and pairing business. Her head was cocked to the side, brows knit together and lips pulled into a frown. "Pairs can be ships, but not all ships can be pairs" was what Israfel had said, right? B-but, weren't they one and the same? Or...
Oh, she was so confused.
The baku's ears drooped slightly, only to perk up again when the siren continued. A look of understand dawned over her face at the explanation that was given. "Oh! So you mean...pairs are someone who...are officially together, while ships can be people who work well together but aren't...necessarily officially together?" ...Was that right? She wasn't so sure now that he tried laying it out aloud.
His offer surprised her, enough so that Xiu stopped walking for a second. "Hm? Why would I--oh! Oh, no, it's fine!" Her eyes widened as she suddenly lifted her free hand, waving it quickly, "Some of my closest friends are monsters! In fact, I had been wondering if you wanted to come in for some tea and spookies, perhaps? I had been intending on baking some sweets today."

His ear wings flapped enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, exactly! Pairs are solid, ships can sail but they sink, can become submarines, or just go into the ocean never to be seen again. Its also okay to abandon your ship, as sometimes a ship does not go where you like. Then you might have to launch your own which is fine too." He was rambling slightly, but then, ships were so fun to talk about. Smiling, the siren looked at the demon dorm again and shrugged. "It is good to ask, as sometimes people can get offended with certain guests, though it is nice to hear some do not worry. But sure!" Wings giving a shuffle, he crossed them, keeping them close to his back. "Tea and spookies sound really good. I can help if you like, though I'm a better seamstress than baker."

"I think I get it now!" Xiu beamed, sounding mighty proud of herself. Or at least, she understood the basics of ships and pairs--her understanding of the subgroups, like the submarine, were still a little iffy though.
She seemed intent on learning more, though, and since Israfel seemed like an expert shipper...who else would she ask? Bounding up the steps to the demon dorms, she turned around to look at him with a thoughtful hum. She had a question. "So does every ship need a special ship name?"
Xiu gestured towards herself then, indicating that Israfel should follow her in. As she led him down the hall to her dorm room, she shot an interested glance at him. "Oh, you can sew? You're just like my uncle then--he's the one who makes all my outfits, like the one I have on now!" Xiu herself didn't have a lot of knowledge on clothing or shopping for clothing for this very reason--aside from giving her uncle some basic design references, she usually left the outfits up to him.
She unlocked and pushed open her dorm room door, poking her head in briefly before walking in. "Are you alright with minis? I have three, but if you're not comfortable with them..."

Let him teach you about ships Xiu, Israfel was the shipster after all. As she asked about the named, Israfel held up two fingers. "Nope! We have say.... Ms. Cricket and Arel?" He smiled. "Well yes. Arel is a hard name to fit with Cricket. Arket? Crickel? No the most appealing. But, they share scarves, so one might call them the scarf ship. Or just say that it is Arel and Cricket. Just a matter of flavor. I call them the scarf ship personally." A secret ship at that. Following her to her room, the siren nodded. "I sew many of my own clothes. And-" looking her up and down there was clear approval for her outfit, "-your uncle has great taste. Does he do it professionally or more for himself and a few others?" The question about minis had him shake his head however. "I am fine with minis, I have quite a few myself."

Was Xiu making sparkly eyes at him? It was hard to tell, but in either case, she was clearly impressed. Scarf ship did indeed sound a lot better than Arket or Crickel, that was for sure. "I think I get it now! So...who else do you ship, if I may ask? You mentioned...Ri...Rileyodore?" There was a pause where she furrowed her brows in thought before her expression suddenly brightened, "Riley and...Malodore, right?"
Of course, the mention of Riley right now was not the happiest thought for Xiu after everything that had happened, but she had promised herself that she wouldn't mope over it either...so mope she would not.
She led him into the dorm room, switching on the lights to reveal her fairly large dorm room. The demon dorms really were a little excessive, after all. "That's very impressive!" She turned to beam at him after setting her bags down on the kitchen counter, "And my uncle really only sews for personal interest, but he does take orders once in a while, I believe!"
Soft footsteps could be heard trotting over the hardware floor now. After a moment passed, three pairs of eyes poked out from around the corner to peer at their guest. Shu was the first to leave the safety of the wall, sitting herself down at Israfel's feet in greeting.

Who did he ship? Oh jack- He shipped too many people. Too. Many. People. And- "Yeah. Rileyodore." His earwings gave a small flap before resting against his skull. "Riley and Moldore... Even if gone, I will ship them. They had a pumpkin you know, on scarentines. A ninja pumpkin. I warned them but they would not listen." He tsked. "One must be careful about such things. Protections charms are needed you know. Scarelings are a big commitment and all, you cant just have one and then get rid of it like a minipet." Following her to the kitchen, he watched and waited, pausing to give the minipet at his feet a few pets. "Does he mostly do culture wear, or does he branch out? I- I have a certain thing for designs from other places. Gothica is all very well here, but it is not that fitting in certain parts of halloween you know? Some places they think less is more and more is less!"

"A...a n-ninja pumpkin?!" She echoed, her pink eyes growing round. What?! This was the first time that she had heard of such a thing! "W-wait, so they...they have a pumpkin? A scareling? Really?" And from Scarentines, no less. That was quite a long time--how in Jack's name had she not heard of this?
"Um, where is...this scareling now?" The baku suddenly seemed concerned, her tapir-shaped ears drooping slightly. Did it know that Riley was...? Her brows were knit in concern as she shuffled around the kitchen, laying out everything she would need to make spookies. She also picked out two glasses from her cupboards, moving towards her fridge to pull out the chilled brew of booberry white tea that she had made the other day.
As she filled a glass for her guest, she hummed thoughtfully at his question. "Uncle? He sews a little of everything, though um...he likes mixing together traditional and modern designs together!" She slid the tea towards him then, a small smile quirking on her lips. "That makes sense! So, Israfel, what styles are your favourite?"

Nodding, the siren made no effort to hide it. "Yes. Ninja pumpkins, They tend to stalk around and drop in on unsuspecting couples. But I do not think they have a scareling QUIET yet. Most likely the ninja pumpkin was taken to a happy loving home. I am unsure but then, Riley never seemed very motherly? Er, not to scarelings anyway." He shrugged. It wasn't really his place after all to speak of the live of others. His ear wings flicked at the shuffling she was doing, before becoming alert to the tea. Sipping at it, he smiled. "Well, if it was not obvious, Gothic Victorian holds a fond place in my heart, but, I am also fond of minimalist designs and culture traditionals. Uniforms such as military are nice, but, they do not belong in some places you know? Ah but we are getting off task. We have spookies to make don't we?"
