And They Were Roommates... (backdated slightly)

It's been interesting for his first day back in civilization. Mightyena was gracious and accepted him back into her fold as well as buying a few of his one-of-a-kind self portraits. Now he's bushed and he drags himself into the little room one foot after the other, upright as always. This world couldn't make him walk on four legs.

He angles himself for the nearest bed-shaped mass and flops face-forward into it. "Jeez louise..."

Clearly good times ahead for both BJ and Catrina...

Woah, mysterious stripped creature of unknown origins? Catrina goes to peak out of her Dragon Type PokeSkull bed to check it out. Was it a dog, a cat, or a badger? Catrina wasn't sure what she was looking at as she scrunches up that Litwick face of hers.

Jeez Louise? That might be his name then, totally without doubt.

"Hey Jeez Louise, yah new here or something?"

[bugbeverage]

Beetlejuice lifts his head from the humble nest. A single blade of straw is stuck to his muzzle. Who said that? He almost misses Catrina on his first pass of the room because of how she was situated in a big skull. She just looked like a regular candle. Candles and skulls went together. It was a thing.

But then he notices her little face and slowly tilts his head.

"You could say that."

[gimmeeyeballs]

Woah...he was giving some soggy vibes as Catrina returns the head(?) tilt. Maybe Beetlejuice was some sort of deep sea fish beforehand? Would explain the soggy energy and they always get funky looking when brought to land.

Oh Beetlejuice, that is indeed a talking candle from within a dragon skull...

"Well shit, nice to meet yah, Jeez Louise. Where'd yah come from?"

[bugbeverage]

Beetlejuice finally catches on that he's been given a nickname. Two feelings duel within him. The first is the urge to be familiar enough, desired enough, to receive the gift of a name. The other feeling is he fucking hates it.

"Hell." His answer isn't boastful, in fact it's a little weary sounding. He's so tired.

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Damn, well welcome to the material plane then. Which ring you come from?"

Catrina was deadpan serious as she says this for once, it's been a while since Catrina last encountered a demon. Last time was during the rainy season when trying to get even with her brother....wait a minute..

"Say, you didn't happen to be summoned during a massive rain storm, have you?"

[bugbeverage]

Beetlejuice doesn't answer her first question because he can't think of anything funny to say. Her next question, though, he nods.

"Yeah...nearly drowned." Beetlejuice groans at the memory.

He swipes a paw under his nose, looks at his fur, and wipes it off against the rest of his coat. This causes him to start pawing at his sides, then his face, his ears. AUGH IT ITCHES. He starts grooming himself, chomping briars and sticks out of his fur with his sharp teeth. Normally he was proud of his personal seasoning, but he can tell he's gonna need a bath or he'll go insane.

"You show up then?" She's a candle. That probably fucking sucked. Wait. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait. WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE. Did he just...empathize with someone? Sorry, Beetlejuice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down!

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Damn, didn't realize the river risen that much. Sorry 'bout that."

Catrina was taking this face value and has completely assumed that Beetlejuice was indeed the demon she was trying to summon before the whole candle thing happened.

Oh boy...yeah this cat-dog-raccoon thing is gonna be needing a bath, Catrina can tell that for sure as a change. At least Beetlejuice didn't smell like her older brother though, that was a very good start for him!

"Yeah, back in September, we had a lot of tall grass all over the place and then ended up workin' as a maid for my ever gorgeous and hot lady, Froslass. Why?" Catrina....Froslass is not going to date yah like ever....please stop Catrina...

......And the sounds of Beetlejuice's brain crashing alerted the Catrina.

"Did I break your brain there or somethin'?"
