If you woke up one morning, and the world you lived in seemed to be entirely empty, what should you do? Should you search for others, should you give up? Would the quiet get to you?
What if, after a week of wandering, you found just one friend? Would that be enough?
Amarus didn't know how many questions could fill the void that followed that kind of a morning. So far, she had lost count. It didn't seem to matter, however; the empty world was just very quiet.
However, in a world in which there was no one but her and Spinar, couldn't she be whoever she wanted to be?
And who she wanted to be, somehow, was still herself.
"If we made a castle out of spookies, should we make it out of giant sheets of spookie, or out of towers of tiny ones?" Amarus asked, hanging upside down off of a random monster dorm student's vacant climbing structure. Some students had some wicked awesome rooms. It was just a hypothetical: any spookies would probably just go bad. She didn't exactly want to eat more than one.

Everyone couldn't really be gone, could they?
How had this even happened?
How long had it been now, the silence of this world was driving him crazy. Constantly it let his mind open for useless questioning. Or maybe it was the chattering of his companion, that was driving him to the crazy questioning. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as he turned to the hanging Amarus.
No.
She was the one that kept him sane now, safe. The one that had found him and brought him back from the edge, in a world without suckers, scams and others..he broke. Siku had fallen, but Amarus had rescued Spinar.
Out of everyone that was, it was only them that remained, or so far it seemed to be this way, not that he minded much anymore. Without an answer he turned back to the dresser he had been rummaging in, digging for food or anything of use. They needed more supplies before they checked the rest of the school out. If nothing turned out, it would mean they had to venture sooner rather than later out into Halloween Town.
But first they needed supplies, or rather he needed supplies. Amarus was a ghost, unlike him she really didn't need food or sleep.
As he thought of this he turned back to the ghoul and gave a tired smile, when he died, since there was now nothing to re-spawn him, how would she cope? Would she wander aimlessly by herself, or try to find a way to kill herself? What would she do?
Was there a way to save her from such a miserable existence?
Maybe there could be another way, his hand stroked over the pumpkin shaped object in the dresser. A way to leave her with another so that she too would be safe.
"Let's build a spookie pet instead, castles have no place here, it's already a kingdom of rubble. " Clicking his claws he pulled up a pumpkin shaped latern and clicked the button on the side, delighting when it flickered on, "still works." Grinning happily he pushed the lantern in an overstuffed backpack and shouldered it. "wanna get out of here, I know this really cool place called the creepateria, full of all kinds of stuff." That was their home base of sorts, on a step closer he pulled opened the door and motioned to the ghoul. "Once we get there, you could totally give me a back rub and I'd be chill with that." Laughing he headed out of the room, rolling his shoulders.

Amarus dropped down from her perch and draped her arms over Spinar's shoulders, stepping up on something so she was tall enough to do so. She leaned her face close to his ear and whispered, "Is beating the jack out of you close to a back massage? Because I can do that."
She smiled, her lips brushing his skin, and dropped down, laughing to herself.
She didn't think about a world without him. The emptiness would swallow her whole, and everything would be exactly the same as the next moment.
A Lotus Eater like her would just sleep, forever. No reason to wake. No way of telling the difference, even if she did.
She didn't want to think about that. "Hey, have you gotten slow without the competition?" she asked, looking back at him a slow wicked smile spreading across her features.

Teasingly he closed his eyes and forced a shudder, "ghouly I didn't know you had it in you to talk physical, keep going I was barely intimidated." Chuckling his eyes slowly open as the brush to his skin, a slightly deep hum lifting to his throat. On a few short chuckles he joined her laughter before raising a brow at the question.
Slow? Him.
"Me? Slow?..." The frost demon laughed, dramatically placing his hand over his chest in a shocked look, " why wanna see if you can catch me?..." Smirking back he teased a swing of his tail towards her before sprinting off down the hall, backwards so that he could kick various items at her along the way. It might not have been the best idea to mess around and potentially get hurt, but it felt needed, to slip back to old ways .....
Just for a little bit.
