The cold didn't bother ghosts. Well, it couldn't hurt them, but that didn't mean they enjoyed it. Seiji certainly didn't. As the weather had begun to chill the ghost had begun to wear heavier clothing. Now that there was snow on the ground he was walking around in long sleeves, layered over with a thick vest, and paired with gloves and a long scarf. Anyone living might have been under dressed, for the ghost it was almost over kill. If Seiji bothered to breath it would have fogged the air. He was currently making his way across the school grounds from the front gate. He'd been at the maul, window shopping for present ideas for the approaching holidays. He'd go back in a day or two to do his actual shopping, but he'd wanted to get out of the school for an afternoon. As he crossed the lawn he noticed that someone had been busy at work building various structures in the snow. There was a partially crumbled wall, something that looked like it could have been a throne, or possibly an animal? The start of what looked like an igloo, and a very tiny ghoul trying to roll a very large snowball. "Hey, need a hand?"

Helmut was thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying this snowing thing. Snow was a daily thing back home no matter what October it was, but here it seemed incredibly rare. She loved it, and was making the most out of it. She had dressed in her warmest clothes, including a heating pad that was zipped around her waist under three layers of incredibly warm looking shirts and jackets. It was the perfect snow to make snow men out of, and that was exactly what she was doing. Though, at some point, the snow men became snow things, and the snow things became snow objects, and after that it was nothing more than abstract art from a young ghoul who just wanted to play in the snow.
By the time the ghost found her she was trying to make Halloweentown’s largest snowball, which had been rolled to almost her size before it was too heavy for her to move. That didn’t stop her from trying though, as her gloved hands rested on the snow ball and her toes dug into the ground well behind her, back far enough to put her body at a very obvious angle.
Her concentration was broken by a sudden voice that she didn’t recognize, and with a very ungraceful yelp she slipped, barely managing to catch herself on her hands and knees, her helmet only kept in place by the antlers luckily balancing on the snowball.
“I’m sorry!” She yelped out, working to right herself through all the awkward movements it would take an already uncoordinated girl to stand back up with too many layers of clothing. Finally back on her feet she adjusted the skull on her head, peeking through the eye socket at the strange ghost.
“Um…um.” She looked uncertain and shifted awkwardly from one foot to another. There was someone here asking if she needed help; she did, but it wasn’t important, either. But…wasn’t It also rude to decline the help of a random stranger?
“Um…” She said again, hoping it would buy her some time. “I-if…if you want? I um…I’m…” Mitten-wrapped hands fidgeted together and the ghoul’s droopy eyes looked down to the right. “…tryingtomakeHalloween’sbiggestsnowball.” She admitted sheepishly, in case the boil had no interest in helping with that.

The ghoul slipped, dropping into the snow on hands and knees, and Seiji took a stop forward, reaching out automatically as if he would catch her. Whatever else the boil might be, he could still be surprisingly caring. "Whoops! Er, didn't meant o startle you, are you okay?" Another step took him closer, and he sank down to balance on the balls of his feet, smiling at her as what she was doing came out in a quiet rush. "Oh, I see." A flick of glowing eyes took in the snowball, then dropped back to the small ghoul beside it. "It's already pretty big, almost bigger then you are." Straightening back up he offered her a hand. "Pretty impressive." She was a tiny thing, smaller then Tomoko, smaller even then Jove. It made him wonder how old she was, though he suspected she might be an undead(had the look about her), which would make age relative. Whether she'd take the help up or not he'd settle hands on his hips after a moment or so, falling into a casual slouch. "I'd be happy to help." He didn't have anything else planned for the afternoon, might as well spend his time having a little fun and meeting new people. The snowball was given a small pat as he looked it over, then he planted both hands against it and pushed. It moved easily, but then he was a fairly large, muscular boil. "Oh yeah, we've got this record in the bag." Another shove, then he grinned down at the ghoul. "I'm Seiji by the way. Are you new?" Vaguely he recalled having seen her around, but every instance had been in the relatively recent past.

The little Wendigo lit up as he agreed to help, slapping her hands together once in pure delight. "Thank you!" She stood back though, and watched him pick up where she left off, and did it with an ease that had her making noises of awe from behind her helmet.
"...Oh!" With a stammer of surprise she stood straighter and linked her hands behind her back. "My name is Helmut Purge and I'm a First Year and it's very nice to meet you." The ghoul replied with the same, slow drawl of a child who had been schooled to say this exact thing, and had done so countless times before. With the formalities out of the way she immediately broke from her carefully schooled character to rush forward, mittened palms up to help Seiji push the snowball.
"Can we build an igloo after? And then a snowman? I-if you're bot gonna be busy and um...like the snow..."

The ghost paused in his snowball pushing, smiling down at the small ghoul. "It is an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance, Helmut Purge." When she moved forward to offer a hand he threw his shoulder into the now mammoth snowball, getting it moving again, though it was slower going now. The thing was almost as large as Seiji, and probably about three times as much. He glanced down at her, at her request. "We can build anything you want. I've got nothing to do today, and having a little fun in the snow sounds like a perfect way to spend the rest of my afternoon." He paused, giving a small grunt as she dug his boots into the snow, actually straining now. "Especially with such good company." A few steps later and the ball refused to budge another inch. It was huge though, an inch taller then Seiji's 6'4" frame. Taking a step back to admire their handy work, the boil got an idea. "Hey, comere." Scooping her up easily, he lifted her over his head to set her gently on top.
