It was amazing how the fog had seemingly vanished overnight, leaving the corridors and campus fog-free, the way things were meant to be, according to the few students she had met so far. She couldn't help but feel like it called for a celebration - perhaps she would spoil herself a little today, and buy a new hairpin with the little allowance she had been given by her Matron... Or maybe she should save it?
Still trying to make a decision, Victoria had floated through the mirror in her room, and a few minutes later, appeared through the mirror in the common room; she had left a little bit of her Fear in those two mirrors, since they were strategically placed, to allow for easy access from "the other side".

Siobhan was reading the latest Teen Screams and other magazines she'd just picked up from the corner store. One such issue seemed to be focused on becoming popular. And according to magazines, that was CRUCIAL to surviving high school. So the ghoul was floating around the commons room, taking notes and mumbling the passages within to herself.
The appearance of Victoria had not been noticed right off the bat. "Make friends with those of a higher tier and fight your way to the top, using dirty means and pulling hair. Poisoning the water bottles is a sure way to get rid of the competition when it comes to dating..."

Victoria noticed the voice before she even noticed anyone, although following the voice soon led her to the source. At first, she hovered at a distance, watching the ghoul with a curious look; however, she soon floated towards her, moving upwards until she was floating above her fellow ghost, and looking at her magazine.

This advice seemed brutal! What a scary world high school is! The banshee rarely did much aside from the occasional class, and maybe it was all these magazines that made her so scared.
"Appearance is key! First you mus..." Siobhan blinked, and turned her hear around as she felt a presence nearby. Low and behold, another ghost! "Ah!" She squeaked, holding the magazine to her flat chest. "H-hello!"

If Sio wasn't flat, she might had been groped already.
"Hello!" Victoria returned the greeting with a smile, floating down from the ceiling until she was hovering a few inches above the ground, "Oh, do continue reading that magazine out loud, Miss! It sounds terribly exciting!" Even though she wasn't really sure what it was about.

"OH... y-yes of course!" Siobhan fumbled through the paragraphs again to find her place.
"A-ahem... A school uniform can be accessorized so you may stand out from the crowd. Catching the eyes of the popular boils will ensure you throne as School Queen."
Siobhan gasped and turned to Victoria. "But we do not have uniforms!"

Victoria listened attentively, and when the other ghoul gasped, she gasped along with her - although it was more of a reflex action.
"Oh dear Sally! Whatever should we-" She paused suddenly, eyes widening as she gasped again, hands flying to her cheeks; her eyes seemed to be transfixed on something behind the ghoul. Without another word, the Mirror Ghost quickly sped over to hover behind Siobhan, bending over to pick up a lock of her hair from the floor, "What long, flowing locks you have, Miss! IS IT REAL?"

Siobhan blinked, her lips pulling into a deep frown as Victoria almost seemed to flee. Just as Siobhan was about to wail in pretest, she heard the ghoul behind her. Turning around, she was delighted to see her fawning over her hair.
"Yes! Yes of course it is real! I brush it and wash it and--" Eeeeeeeeeee she liked her hair!

"It's real?! It's so loooooong though!" Victoria's attention was still on the lock of hair she was holding in her hands as she hovered, gently combing it with her fingers. She eventually let go, eyes following the trail of white hair on the ground, "Oh, how long is it exactly, Miss? It seems to go on forever... Matron never allowed us to keep hair this long, although I doubt that my hair can grow this long, even if I try."

Siobhan giggled, wiggling in place. "I-it is about ten feet long? My hair has been this long since before I remember!"
Siobhan turned to face the other ghoul, hugging her magazine to her chest ever still. "Matron? So.. you lived in a place of female hierarchy? I did as well!" Siobhan's smile turned upward further. "I lived in the crawl space of a sisterhood!"

"Ten feet! " Victoria gasped, "I wonder how long it'll take my hair to grow to ten feet..." She twirled a lock of her hair around a finger, and then gently pulled it taut, as if to examine it; it had been shoulder length for as long as she could remember... Matron wouldn't allow anything longer.
"It wasn't really a hierarchy or a sisterhood," She answered with a shake of her head, tucking her hair back into place, "The orphanage I came from just happened to be an all-ghouls orphanage! I call all the ghouls my sisters though, so... Maybe it can be considered a sisterhood? What do you think, Miss?"

"Maybe if you use some of the special products in this magazine! Look! Every one of them has free samples!" Siobhan took some from the magazine's inserts and shved them toward the ghoul. "I wonder what would happen if all of them were combined in a bottle..."
The banshee tilted her head, once again hugging hr magazine like a doll. "What I think?" The banshee looked like she was panicking in the middle of a quiz. "Uh.. uhm.. I-I do not know!"

"Free samples?" Victoria echoed, taking everything that was shoved in her direction. She beamed, tucking the packets into her pocket, "Thank you very much, Miss! I will try them, and tell you how they are!"
Free things! She was fond of free things! They're so... Free!
"Well, I think that it's almost a sisterhood," She smiled, and then looked rather embarrassed, "Oh dear Sally! How rude of me..."
Giving a curtsy, the way she was taught, her smile widened as she let go of the sides of her dress, "I'm Victoria Marie Bloodworth, but you may call me Victoria, like everyone else does."

Siobhan fidgeted and then bowed as well, still holding her magazines close. "I-I am Siobhan Kennedy! I have found people enjoy shortening my name to Sio. I find it quite um.. cute! You may call me what you please, Victoria!"
"Ah! So.. we know each others names.. and talked. So, shall we be the friends?" Siobhan smiled nervously. "And.. and we could put ribbons in our hair and... and discuss gossip?!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Sio!" Victoria beamed, pausing before giving a nod, "I find it cute too."
At the suggestion, Victoria's smile grew even wider - if that was even possible. She nodded again, this time with more enthusiasm, "Oh I would love to be friends, Miss Sio! And put ribbons in our hair! And-" At this, she gasped, hovering closer as she lowered her voice, as if afraid that someone might be eavesdropping on them, "Gossip? What sort of gossip? Oh, but Matron told me that good ghouls shouldn't gossip..."
She puffed out her cheeks with a frown, trying to decide on what to do, "But I suppose... A little can't hurt, right, Miss Sio?"
