Ah, the smell of Christmastival was in the air... Along with the awful odors of the cafeteria. To say Lou had only come down to get a packet of blood wouldn't be the whole truth. The boil snagged the last O positive and tossed it in the microwave for a couple of seconds before piercing it with a straw and peering around at his fellow students.
... He was wearing the most epic sweater ever. A sure fire chick magnet. But it wasn't enough for him to just look the part. The vampire had to keep his eyes out for the perfect lady. Someone who might've looked lonely or sulky. Nobody liked to be alone on the holidays, after all, and Lou was just the type of guy to feed off people's emotions... I mean comfort them in their time of need. Yeah. We'll go with that.

Lizzy was definitely feeling a little lonely and sulky; she thought that it would be easy to get over a break-up, but it just wasn't as simple as she thought it would be... After all, her relationship lasted over a year, which was - in her opinion - a long time.
However, she was determined to get over it, and carry on with life. She was perfectly happy without Mac before she met him, and although she would like to be more than 'just friends' with the reaper, maybe they just weren't meant to be together... Great, that was a depressing thought.
Frowning, she took another sip of her hot chocolate, staring into the dark liquid.

Target acquired. Begin wooing sequence.
Lou's free hand took a moment to run up his two tufts of white hair before practically sliding in to take advantage of her the situation. Instead of sitting down at the table like a normal person, he pretty much slid onto the table, just inches from her hot chocolate. "Hey baby. You're looking down. How 'bout I cheer you up and we make this a not-so-silent night?"
Then he sipped on his packet of blood like a bawss.

Lizzy's response was surprise - why would he choose to sit on the table when there was a chair? - followed by confusion; he wanted to cheer her up? It was a nice gesture, but what exactly did he meant by 'not-so-silent night'?
"... Like going to the arcade or something?" She asked, since that was one of the noisiest places she knew of.

Lou's look of amusement faltered, but only for a moment. He was gonna have to try harder to get his point across, it seemed. "Hm. Not the brightest Christmas light when it comes to pick up lines, are you?" And suddenly he was laying across the table seductively... As seductive as an ugly Christmas sweater could be.
"Well, I've checked twice, and I'm pretty sure you're on my naughty list."
followed up by a wink and another sip of blood. Surely she'd get what he was playing at soon enough. Surely.

"Pick.... Up... Lines..." Lizzy echoed, her lips pressed into a thin line as she slowly edged away from the table, pushing her chair out a little at a time. She laughed sheepishly, holding up both hands, palms facing the vampire, "That must be a mistake, because I don't think you know my name."

"Your name could be Hotty McPink Hair for all I care." Lou said simply, shrugging and sitting back up as she started to inch away. "Wouldn't you like me to deck your halls? I'm sure I can take your mind off of whatever is making you frown like that." His eyebrows waggled, standing up and trotting behind her so the chair went no further. "But if you're a stickler for introductions, I'm Lou. You, however, can call me sexy."

"You're right about me not knowing much about pick up lines, but I dare say that the ones you're using right now are terrible. Completely horrible. No good. Ineffective," Lizzy really wanted to make sure that she got her point across. She did, however, pause briefly, her gaze dropping to the ground as she muttered, "Oh, I doubt so..."
Distracted, she failed to notice that Lou was now behind her, trapping her on the chair. Although she couldn't bring herself to like him, she decided that there wasn't any harm in exchanging names... Maybe when he's not being such a flirt, he's actually a nice boil, and they could be friends?
Well, she could hope.
"And I'm Lizzy," She tilted her head up in order to look at him, "I'm... Going to go with just Lou."

Lou paused for a moment. "... Riddle me this, miss. Is there such a thing as a GOOD pickup line?" He shrugged and smirked. It wasn't that Lou thought they were ground-breaking or epiphany causing. He just found them to be good introductory chatter... And on the rare occasion that a woman was impressed, that just made it even better.
After she introduced herself, Lou tilted his head and bent over so he could look her in the face, hands resting on the back of the chair. "Well then Pinkie, what's got you moping during the holidays? Boilfriend cheating on you? Been dumped? Or do you have a zit in an unsightly place?" Figuring neither of the former was true, he started searching her skin for some sort of blemish or sore. She seemed like that kind of ghoul.

"I'm not sure," Lizzy answered, not quite sure if Lou was asking a rhetorical question, "I've not heard a lot of them... Why don't you give me your best ones?" She smiled, patting the seat next to hers, inviting him to sit down instead of being Creeper McCreep by standing behind her chair.
As the vampire listed off the possible reasons one by one, her smile slowly fading into a neutral expression, and then a frown. Her eyes might also had gotten slightly watery, as she looked down, staring at a spot on the ground.
"I don't want to talk about it," She muttered quietly, going silent for a bit as she reorganized her thoughts, pushing her negative emotions to the back of her head. Looking up, she forced a smile, "And you? So desperate for a date that you would resort to using those horrible pick up lines?"

Well, it wasn't as fun as holding onto her chair, but Lou obliged and slid into the chair next to her. "Well how about this one. If I told you that you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?" Wink. Every pickup line should be topped with a wink.
... And it looked like he'd somehow hit the nail on the head. Since there was no zit, he could only assume the former was true. One or the other. Couldn't be both, right?
... Right?
Lou rubbed his chin in silence as she seemed to cure herself with only a few moments of silence. He wasn't buying it, but it appeared she wanted to shoot back at him. To which, the vampire could only laugh. "Ah. There's no desperation. It's more of a game, really." Or conquests, to put it bluntly. "Pickup lines are just the icing on the cake." Leaning in, Lou grinned coldly as he stared her in the eyes with those strange spiral spheres. "Getting back to you, the saying goes the best way to get over someone is to get under another." Oh Lou. You have such a way with words.

"See, that one is better than the Christmastival ones that you've thrown my way," Lizzy giggled, "Although I guess... It's still pretty cheesy." Rather than being impressed, she was stuck between laughing at Lou, or patting him on the head. In pity.
"A game? You shouldn't go around trying to break young ghouls' hearts, Lou," She warned, wagging a finger at him. When he leaned in, she couldn't resist it.
She raised a hand, and patted him on his head.
"You can't heal a heart that way, unless it wasn't broken in the first place," She replied, "I don't need to try it to know it."

The fact that he wasn't being taken seriously didn't particularly bother him, but he did grumble slightly when his head was patted down, the white horn-like tufts popping back up simultaneously after a short moment.
"Nonsense. If you've got someone sexier to look at, I'm sure you'd forget about whats-his-face in no time." There was no hesitation in Lou's hands reaching down to pull up his awesome sweater and give Lizzy a little sample of the glorious abs that hid underneath. "You know you want to touch them."

Lizzy did stare at Lou's abs. However, her mind wasn't quite there; in fact, her mind had escaped her body together with her soul the moment he pulled his sweater up. A brief moment of clarity caused her cheeks to redden, and she immediately shook her head.
"No thank you!" She squeaked, averting her eyes.

Lou seemed... Surprised? At her reaction. "What? Did I forget to zip my fly or something?" The boil looked down at himself. Nope. It appeared that everything was in working order. Abs were spotless as usual. His eyes glanced back up at her with a hint of amusement. "Oooo, wait I see. My abs scare you. They're so hot it's terrifying, right?"
If that wasn't a stroke to his ego he didn't know what was. "Well, rest assured that this part of me does not bite. I cannot say as much for other parts." So yeah. There was that.
Finally releasing his sweater, Lou let most of his weight lean on the table. "So, I gotta ask something that comes with the territory of strange hair colors." His hand reached up in an attempt to stroke one of her locks of hair. "Does the carpet match the drapes?"
