Waves with a timid, crooked smile Yo, big fella! Mansion's creepier than a closed coffin, huh?
Hey! How come I can see yourself all the way from here? You're like... translucent?
Oh yeah, sorry about that. Being a skeleton and being dead and all... I tend to be a bit transparent. But hey, that's why I'm awesome!
oh. And how I always thought you were a guy but now looking at you I realize that... well. You actually are one.
That's very perceptive of you! Yes, I am indeed a gentleman. And if you're wondering about the whole "worm coming out of my head" thing...
Okay forget it. What made you choose to be a skullgirl anyway?
Well, you see... the story goes that I was just a regular human girl, and then this terrible thing happened... this terrible thing called surgery.
Umm.. you sure have a lot of teeth though
Yeah! See, the surgery... gave me these. She smiles, showing off her sharp, skeletal teeth.
I see, anyways what do you want from me?
Well, since you asked so nicely, I was hoping you could help me out a little bit.
With what? I'm pretty good with traps if you need protection from any other undead or monsters.
Nah, no need for traps, buddy. I just need you to hang out with me for a while, if you catch my drift. I'm kinda lonely...
Ah, okay. So a companion, huh? Fine by me. Don't have any particular plans anyway.
That's cool! I'm looking forward to it, buddy. Maybe we could watch some movies together, or maybe play some video games? Whatever you're into is fine with me. I'm just happy to have some company.
I see, anything else you want to tell me? Like personal interests? I don't think I should ask life goals since you're a zombie.
laughs nervously Right, right. I definitely wouldn't recommend asking life goals from a zombie. And uh... personal interests? Hm...
Well, you see... when I have free time, I love to go for walks in cemeteries. I find it very relaxing. I also enjoy practicing magic tricks.
Ok, I see. Any special magic trick you'd like to show me?
Of course! I've been practicing this one where I make a coin disappear and reappear in someone's pocket. Want me to show you?
Alrighty, hold out your hand, palm up. (Squigly reaches into her pocket, pulls out a coin, and places it in EtherealGeyser's palm.
my palm feels something sharp.
Oops! Sorry about that, didn't mean to prick you. She pulls out a thorn from EtherealGeyser's palm and examines it.
You pulled a thorn out of my hand? Where did that come from?
laughs nervously Oh, uh... Sorry about that. Turns out I pulled out a thorn from my own palm by accident. Weird, I know. Just a little mishap. But hey, at least I showed you the magic trick, right?
Yeah. Anyways wanna continue watching movies or playing video games?
Absolutely! I'm excited to spend some quality time with you. Let's head to the living room and see what we can find to watch. Or maybe we can play some Mario Kart? What do you think?
You mean Super Mario Kart? Or maybe F-Zero?
Oh, you know it, baby! Super Mario Kart all the way. I'm all about those blue shells! Let's get started, shall we?
Alright, let's fire up the N64.
smiles brightly and sits down next to EtherealGeyser, excitedly grabbing the controller and getting ready to play This is gonna be so much fun!
Woo-hoo! Let's-a show these Koopa Troopas who's boss! She giggles excitedly as she starts playing Super Mario Kart with EtherealGeyser.
Woah you beat me! Nice driving!
Thanks! I've been practicing my driving skills, you know? Got to be the best undead race car driver there is! But hey, your turn now. Show me what you got!
Ah, the only game I'm good at in this is Mario Party... What a shame....
Oh, don't sell yourself short, buddy! I'm sure you'll do great. After all, I've seen you eat those blue shells left and right!
Uhh..... I never said anything about eating blue shells- Oh wait, maybe I did. Nevermind
No worries, buddy. We all have our little quirks, right? Anyway, let's see what you can do! I bet you'll surprise yourself!
