"SETH!!"
Takara chirped jumping down from the stool she was sitting on and running over to him.
"I heard you were looking for me."
Seth said as he watched her run over to him
"Yep! Takara couldn't find you or Lala."
"Well I kind of lost her too."
Seth said looking guilty.
"Oh...does that mean I can have you?"
"He** No."
Loshya's voice came from one of the door ways.
"L-Loshya?"
Seth said looking around for her, he was a bit uncomfortable being alone with Takara.
"You haven't been molested or anything have you, Sethie?"
Loshya asked walking over to him.
"No, we were just talking."
Seth said seeming happy to see her.
"Good!"
Loshya hummed grabbing his arm almost territorial like.
"Sorry I lost you, where'd you go?"
Seth asked curiously.
"I was trying to find the spa room... I didn't think it'd take so long..."
"Did you manage to find it?"
Seth asked curiously wondering why Takara was being so quiet.
"Yeah. It's pretty nice sized."
Loshya hummed.
"...whats is Spa?"
"Well I heard that it's a place where you can bathe in special water and I also heard they have steam rooms and massages, but I've never been to one."
Seth said trying to remember.
"This is just a steam room."
Loshya stated.
"sounds fun!"
"Oh, I heard steam rooms are supposed to help get rid of stored up toxins by opening the person's pores."
Seth said.
"They are quite nice~"
Loshya hummed.
"Let's go!"
Takara giggled grabbing Seth's hand as she walked for the door.
"To the spa, but when you go into a steam room you can't wear all of your clothes... Y-You have to wear only a towel..."
Seth said as he was pulled along by Takara.
"Oh...."
Takara's head lowered. "Oi... If Takara's with you, Takara doesn't mind."
"Wha-what... B... But..."
Seth stammered his face turning red as he looked over at Loshya.
"Hey! No one said you could come."
Loshya growled.
Takara got slightly teary eyed turning to Seth. "Takara can't come?"
"Uh... Well..."
Seth said not knowing what to saw as he looked from Takara to Loshya.
"Weeeeellll~ Seth... Is. She. Invited?"
Loshya asked smiling.
Seth hesitated, he could clearly tell there was no real right answer, "W-Well she can go in when we leave I guess..."
"Hehehe~ Good answer~!"
Loshya hummed hugging him as Takara pouted.
Seth turned slightly red as he hugged Loshya back.
"Aww ...Takara will be good!"
Takara pleaded.
"No, means no."
Loshya hissed.
Seth just stood there, he had no idea how to deal with this kind of situation.
Takara pouted but seemed to get the picture.
"Okay Seth, let's go!"
"Uh... Ok, sure."
Seth said with a nod.
Loshya happily lead him up the stairs.
Seth sighed softly as he followed Loshya.
Meeting room
Infirmary
"I did too..."
Graham stated guiltily.
"Well now she'll have company."
Todd said smiling slightly.
"Right."
Graham agreed before looking down at the pool of blood. "*sigh* I should probably clean this up, before the kids return..."
"Oh, no you don't, Kitten~ This is my infirmary, I'll take care of it~"
Drake said as he grabbed a mop.
"Are you sure, Angel? I don't mind."
"Neither do I, Kitten. This is my job so you just sit~"
Graham reluctantly sat down. "If you need any help...I'm more then happy to help.."
"I know~ You're always eager to help, Kitten~"
Drake smiled as he began cleaning the floor.
Todd's tail flicked slightly, "I'll help too if you need it."
Graham stayed quite but clearly wanted to help still.
"I don't, thank you."
Drake replied tersely.
"...Everything alright Angel?"
Graham asked noticing Drake's tone.
"Perfectly fine, Kitten~ Why?" ^-^
Todd's ears flattened and his tail fluffed up at Drake's tone, "Jerk." He mumbled in a very low voice trying not to hiss.
Graham's ears lowered. "I thought you two would hit it off..."
"Obviously not, he seems to have some sort of problem with me."
Todd said as his tail flicked angrily.
"I said 'thank you'." e_____e
"Yeah, but it felt like you didn't really mean it."
Todd said.
"Calm down. I'm sure you both just need time to get used to each other~"
Graham said hopeful.
"Maybe you're right."
Todd said with a small smile.
A ghost with dark blue hair and green eyes suddenly appeared next to Graham, it was a bit hard to tell whether the ghost was male or female. "Wow! It worked... But... Where am I?"
The ghost said looking around the room not recognizing anyone or anything.
"Wha-what the hell?!"
Todd said jumping slightly as his tail flicked nervously.
"AAWWW!! WE GOT ANOTHER ADORABLE GHOST!! "
Graham cheered as his eyes light up.
The ghost giggled, "Why thank you little kitty."
Drake continued mopping the floor as he pondered what Graham said...
Another adorable ghost? I don't recall meeting an adorable ghost...
"What's a ghost doing here?"
Arthur asked as he came in.
"Well I heard about how this ghost lady could teleport to different places so I thought I'd try it... Though I was aiming for the sweets cafeteria, and this isn't it..."
The ghost said looking around the room.
"Newbie~" said a
raspy giggle.
"It's not my fault, it was my first time, maybe you could give me pointers."
The ghost said as it floated around the room.
"What would I get in return~?"
"His gratitude, I mean what else can a ghost give a ghost?"
Graham said half joking.
"No point, then."
"What do you want?"
The ghost asked curiously as it turned over in mid air and looked like it was lying on its stomach.
"Pft. You're not old enough to be any help, anyways."
The ghost blinked slightly confused, "What do you mean?"
"You cant be of help because you're young and dead... There aren't any ability you have that Aspen wouldn't already know."
Edgar stated.
"How rude, she left before hearing my question."
The ghost said with a huff and a cute pout.
"Well why didn't she say that first before asking what she'd get in return, that's a bit redundant don't you think?"
Todd asked.
"Knowledge?...
perhaps she though you might have had valuable information..." Edgar replied.
"Well now she'll never know if I have any information she could find valuable, cause I'm not telling." The ghost said as it floated over the beds.
"I thought Aspen was 'everywhere and nowhere' and could watch and hear everything?" Drake pointed out.
"She is..." Edgar replied before whispering to Drake. "I wanted to give him some hope..."
Todd's ear twitched, "Him?"
"Yep, I'm a boy if you couldn't tell." The ghost said with a wink.
"Darryl's going to be jealous~" Graham hummed to himself.
Darryl? Who's that?" The ghost asked with a curious look in his eyes.
"Darryl's one of the people who reside here, like you Darryl's gender isn't always clear." Graham replied.
"Oh how fun." The ghost said with a huge grin.
"So what's your name Mr. Ghost?" Todd asked curiously as his tail swished lazily.
"My name is Cupid." Cupid said as he floated over to Graham and poked one of his ears.
Graham's ear twitched in reaction, being a werecat made him more physically aware of spirits. "I'm Graham~"
"I'm Todd." Todd said with a nod as he glanced at Drake.
"Nice to meet you both." Cupid said with a smile and a mid-air bow before looking at Drake. "You're the silent type?"
"Uh...not usually." ^-^" Drake put the mop and bucket away since he was done cleaning the floor. "I've just yet to meet a ghost so pleasant..."
"Angel's used to ghosts that act more like the girl you met earlier." Graham explained.
"Oh, well not all of us ghosts are like her... Angel? Cute nickname." Cupid said with a giggle.
"True, true but she certainly makes it difficult to remember that," Graham replied.
"Without a doubt." Drake agreed.
"Well please don't judge us all by her actions." Cupid said was he floated through the air to rest near Todd.
"Don't worry we're aren't that shallow." Graham chuckled.
"Good." Cupid said with a smile.
Todd glanced at Cupid curiously.
Graham's ear twitched as the door opened.
"Draaaaaakkkkeee Desmond beat me uppppp." Darryl whined as it came in holding its arm.
"Well, what did he do that for?" Drake practically cooed as he ushered Darryl towards one of the beds.
"*sniffle* 'because I've been misbehaving'" Darryl replied trying to mimic Desmond but failing.
Drake frowned. "Well, that's not much of an excuse... What did you do?"
"It was all stuff I did earlier! nothin recent!"
Cupid floated over to Darryl, "You're too pretty to be so sad." He said with a giggle.
Darryl giggled immediately seeming cured of it's earlier annoyance. "Thank you~"
"You are very welcome." Cupid said with a sweet, friendly smile.
'Are they flirting or something?' Todd wondered as he watched them.
"I'm not sure, I don't believe so.." Graham replied.
"I don't believe I've seen you around here, before?" Darryl noted looking Cupid over.
"Oh, I just arrived." Cupid said.
Drake took advantage of Darryl's distraction to examine and treat the wounds.
being distracted Darryl didn't put up nearly as much of a fuss as it normally would. "Oh well make yourself at home~"
"Thank you, you and your friends are very kind." Cupid said with a smile.
"So where did you come from?" Darryl asked deeply fascinated with this spirit.
"A morgue, it was boring because Isaac wasn't there, he's so much fun." Cupid said.
"A morgue? Hmmm you most have come rather far..." Graham said looking over the ghost.
"Yeah, but it's not that bad for a ghost, I don't really get tired." Cupid said shrugging.
"So we've noticed with the other ghost...." Darryl said with a slight grimaced at the thought of Aspen.
"Being a ghost has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages." Cupid said.
