Monster High: In Session
Chapter three: The new girl at school
Draculaura still couldn't believe that her father not only played in a lottery, but that he won a very considerable jackpot, more than enough to make anyone take notice. The vampire man was even on TV on the local news in New Salem because of it. While Dracula, as well as Frankie Stein's grandfather Victor and a few of the guys hanging with Dracula and Victor, took care of what all Dracula needed now that he had millions, Frankie was excitedly telling Draculaura what all she had to look forward to, with much of what the simulacrum girl was talking about being about shopping sprees at the mall.
The vampire girl, if she were to be completely honest, was only thinking about was how she would now be able to eat actual food for her meals. She could even afford to be selective; Draculaura intended to make the most of this by omitting meat.
As Frankie was talking a mile a minute about how Draculaura could now afford to act like an actual teen girl, the two girls were interrupted by some knocking at the front door, to which Frankie's pet simulacrum creature, Watzit, responded to by neighing in a challenging, warning tone. As Frankie gathered the little simulacrum creature into her arms as she walked over to open the door, Draculaura asked her while pointing at Watzit, "Why does he neigh like a horse?"
"Because Grandpa Victor gave him the vocal chords of a horse," Frankie replied casually, drawing a confused look out of Draculaura that she did not see as she turned around right away to answer the door. When Frankie opened the door, her expression lit up as she said, "Abbey! Isi! Glad you two could come over!"
"Of course we come over," a female voice with a noticeable hint of Russian accent in it replied with a distinct lack of surprise in it, "You tell us there is new girl here who will be at school tomorrow. We come to see new girl."
To Draculaura's surprise, Frankie ended up letting in two girls that looked to be in the same age group as her and Frankie. The first girl was a yeti; she had pastel icy blue skin, long white hair that reached her waist, and she wore a dark blue sleeveless tank top that had a white fur collar and some colored crystalline-like patterns on it, a matching skirt that reached halfway down her thighs, a pair of white furry boots that reached up to just below her knees, and a simple white furry headband that matched well with the boots.
The second girl was, curiously enough, a deer spirit; she had light brown skin with a white patch over her face between her eyes, and she had long hair that reached her waist and was flipping turquoise in color. The deer spirit girl wore a dark pale reddish headband with a blue circle charm in the middle around her head, a simple orange beaded necklace, a long-sleeved and loose-fitting shirt that was red and had Native American/Aztec patterns all over it, black pants with a similar patterning theme, and blue shoes that also fit the theme. The deer spirit girl also had deer-like ears and a small pair of deer-like horns.
"Glad you two could make it," Frankie said to the yeti and the deer spirit, "There is a lot that I have to cover with you girls." The two girls that were very clearly friends with Frankie both nodded in understanding while the yeti girl closed the door behind them before Frankie finally placed Watzit back down on the floor.
It took next to no time for Frankie's friends to spot Draculaura sitting on the sofa, and it was the deer spirit girl who made the first move. "You must be the new girl that Frankie mentioned," the deer spirit girl began as she greeted Draculaura, "Nice to meet you. I'm Isi Dawndancer."
"I am Abbey Bominable," the yeti girl said, "Welcome to New Salem, new girl."
Draculaura was a bit put off by Isi and Abbey coming in so suddenly, but she pushed past all of that uncertainty so as to not be rude to the friends of the only friend that she had here in New Salem. "…I'm Draculaura van Helwing," the vampire girl said as she gave her name.
Frankie turned to face her friends and got their attention before saying, "Yeah, girls." Gesturing to Draculaura, Frankie explained, "Dracy here is the new girl that I told the both of you about when I call you earlier. She and her dad just moved to New Salem today, and they're crashing here at my Grandpa Victor's place until they get their own." With an amused smirk on her face, the simulacrum girl remarked, "But given that her dad literally just won the lottery, I'm pretty sure that they'll find a new place in very short order."
Abbey and Isi, both of which looked surprised when Frankie mentioned that Draculaura's father had won the lottery, turned to look at the vampire girl. After she and Isi had given her a quick look over, Abbey said, "You look like you are from family in city projects. Take care to not let your family's new money go to head."
Draculaura, a bit surprised with how blunt and straightforward the yeti girl was being, simply said, "I'm…just looking forward to finally being able to eat actual food for dinner, rather than just whatever my dad and I could barely afford to get with what we scraped up."
"Heh," Isi chuckled as she crossed her arms over her chest, "No desires to go on wild sprees like that rich jerk De Nile, huh?" Looking to Frankie and Abbey, Isi said, "Girls, I don't think that we have to worry about this one here."
"De Nile?" Draculaura repeated, her memory being jogged a bit by what the deer spirit girl had said. With a look of wonder on her face while she held her right hand over her chin, Draculaura remarked, "That name sounds familiar."
Sighing in a very mildly exasperated tone, Frankie said, "That would be because Isi is talking about Cleo de Nile, who I warned you about back when we were packing up your stuff in the apartment you and your dad lived in before moving here to New Salem." Straightening herself out a bit, Frankie said, "Cleo, in addition to having a lot of the student populace over at Monster High eating out of the palm of her hand, is also by far the richest girl at school. I doubt that even you, with how much your dad won in the lottery, would be able to measure up."
Draculaura looked like a bit more of her memory had been jogged. "Oh yeah, you did mention that," the vampire girl remarked as she pointed at Frankie, "You said that Cleo hangs with a zombie, a troll and three werecats." Draculaura felt like there was something else about Frankie mentioning this Cleo girl that she ought to remember from somewhere, but she just couldn't figure out what it was.
Frankie, as well as both Abbey and Isi, nodded in confirmation. "Cleo also is girlfriend of Heath's friend Deuce. Deuce wrapped around rich mummy girl's finger," Abbey explained, "He very much owned by Cleo."
"Who?" Draculaura asked as she looked at the girls, sounding confused again.
"Oh, that reminds me," Frankie said as she sounded like something important had just popped into her head, "Cleo is part of Monster High's main power couple, with her boyfriend Deuce Gorgon being the other part. Deuce, as well as Abbey's boyfriend Heath, is on the football team with Clawd, who I also told you about."
Isi nodded in confirmation of what Frankie said before adding, "Deuce, as well as a number of other boys on the Monster High football team, associating with Cleo is part of why no one at school wants to mess with Cleo and her posse." Crossing her arms over her chest again, the deer spirit girl added with a bit of a scowl on her face, "To make things worse, Kurama Kyubi, even though he's not on the football team, is also affiliated with Cleo's posse to an extent. Cleo and her posse are basically untouchable because of that, as if they weren't already."
Nodding twice, Frankie added, "It's best if we just avoid triggering Cleo altogether. It will save us so many headaches and so much trouble in the long run."
Draculaura, despite being a bit disheartened seeing Frankie, Abbey and Isi so worried about stepping on the toes of Monster High's resident queen bee, nonetheless nodded in agreement so as to not cause them to worry for her. The vampire girl was getting more and more worried about what all the social climate was like at her new school, which she would be seeing tomorrow when she's taken there by her father to be enrolled.
Despite what all she was told by the girls here, Draculaura was still looking forward to attending a school composed primarily of monster students.
The following morning, a chauffeur driving a sleek black car drove Dracula and Draculaura over to a large school building that had to be Monster High. Draculaura, who was expecting the school to resemble a large, somewhat rundown haunted castle to an extent, was surprised to see that it mostly resembled the average human public high school in terms of shape and design, although its use of dark coloration did make it more tailored to what many would expect of a public high school for monster students.
"Victor already had his granddaughter taken here, so you'll probably see her at some point today," Dracula remarked. Climbing out of the car, the vampire man said to his daughter, "Well anyway, come on. I got to get you enrolled here." A bit nervous since this was her first day at a new school, Draculaura climbed out of the back of the car after her father, then somewhat meekly followed him into the main building of the school.
…
Draculaura was amazed by what all she saw. Despite Monster High being geared mainly towards monster students, it was still comparable to a lot of average public high schools for humans. That being said, it looked like the Taj Mahal compared to the old high school that Draculaura attended back when she still lived in Old Salem. She saw a number of students of various monster races all milling about the place, going to and from destinations, loitering in the hall a little bit as they talked, and so on and so forth.
While Draculaura was taking in the sights, her father looked around with a mildly annoyed scowl on his face. "…Geez, I have no clue where anything is anywhere in this place," Dracula said, "I have no clue where to go to find the front office so I can go about getting you enrolled here."
"Excuse me, but are you two lost?" the voice of a girl who sounded to be around Draculaura's age spoke up, getting both vampires to turn around and face the appropriate direction. As such, they came face to face with two monster girls; one was a pale-skinned zombie girl with long light blue hair, and she wore a pair of red-framed glasses that looked nerdy, a green plastic headband in her hair, a baggy long-sleeved shirt of black and white stripes, and red pants with the legs disappearing into her knee-reaching black boots.
The second girl was a petite and slender troll girl who was somewhat shorter than Draculaura; this girl had pastel purple-pink skin, curly pink hair with blue highlights, and she wore a knitted cap that resembled a horned Viking helmet, a pair of pink-framed correction glasses, a baggy black-colored t-shirt with a video game logo of some kind on it over a baggy long-sleeved light gray shirt, a baggy pair of tan cargo shorts held up with a belt, and a pair of rich purple boots that reached halfway up her shins.
Gesturing to Draculaura and her dad, the zombie girl said, "You two seem lost. You need any help finding anything?" Hearing the zombie girl speak, the two vampires recognized her voice as the one that had just called out to them. Dracula explained to the two girls that he was trying to find the front office so that he could get Draculaura enrolled at Monster High as a student, with today being her first day of school if all goes well with the enrolling process.
Nodding once in confirmation as well as a bit of thanks, Dracula said, "Yeah, I'm trying to find the front office so I can go about getting my daughter enrolled here as a student." Gesturing to Draculaura while facing the two bespectacled girls, Dracula continued, "If all goes well, she'll be able to have her first day here at Monster High today."
"Oh, she's starting today?" the troll girl replied in a tone of piqued interest; her accent sounded very much Scandinavian, with something of a high pitch and with a slight 'nerdish' hint to it. Pointing straight down the hall behind Dracula, the troll girl said, "If you keep going that way, you'll eventually find a door that had a little black sign over it, with the sign having red letters on it that says 'Front Office'. The rest ought to be pretty self-explanatory."
The vampire man nodded once in thanks to the troll girl and her zombie friend before turning around to head in the direction that he was given, with Draculaura following close behind. When the Van Helwings reached the door that the troll girl had mentioned, Dracula opened it and walked inside, with his daughter following close behind in something of a hurry.
After waiting a moment in the reception area inside the front office, Dracula and Draculaura were led by a secretary, a female sea monster, to an office door that had a little plaque on the wall to its left that said 'Principal Bloodgood's office'. The secretary told Dracula that he and his daughter could just go on in, as Bloodgood was waiting for them already. "Yeah, that sounds about right," Dracula remarked when his daughter questioned how the principal already knew that they were coming, "I called her ahead of time and told her about what we're here for."
The vampire girl looked a little embarrassed that she failed to think of something as simple as she and her father walked into the principal's office. When the two vampires entered the office, Draculaura let out a surprised yelp of fright when she saw a woman's head sitting on the desk, turned to face the front door. The woman's head had fair skin, and the long black hair was pulled back into a tight bun aside from some bangs that framed the face.
When she saw Draculaura jump and yelp out of fright, as well as see the mildly unsettled look on Dracula's face, the body-less woman's head roller her eyes and sighed. "Sorry about that one," the woman's head said as the high-backed chair placed behind the desk spun around, revealing a headless woman's body dressed in a white long-sleeved dress shirt under a gray dress jacket. The headless body reached forward towards the head, picked it up, and placed it where on the neck, before adjusting it a bit to get it just right.
When that was done, the now headed woman got up and walked around to properly greet the Van Helwings; doing this the woman showed that the rest of her outfit consisted of a matching businesswoman's skirt that went well with the dress jacket, light gray stockings that reached her knees, and a pair of shiny black women's dress shoes. The sharply dressed woman walked up to the Van Helwings and held her hand out to Dracula.
"I'm Nora Bloodgood," the woman replied, "I'm the principal of Monster High. You must be Dracula van Helwing, right?"
"Uhh…" Dracula said in response, looking a mix of confused and dumbfounded.
Realizing what was on the vampire man's mind, Nora explained, "I'm a dullahan, sir. I can remove and reattach my head."
Chuckling a bit nervously, Dracula said, "Right. Sorry, it's just that I wasn't exactly expecting the first thing I saw when I walked in to your office was a head on a desk."
Nora, understanding that even monsters would have been off put by walking into a room only to see a head sitting on a table or whatever, replied, "Fair enough. Now then." While still facing Dracula, Nora gestured to Draculaura while saying, "I assume that this is your daughter that you wish to enroll here at Monster High?"
"Exactly," the vampire man said, "I literally moved here to New Salem yesterday."
"Well I for one am glad that you decided to enroll your daughter here, sir," the dullahan principal remarked, "We can do a lot more for your daughter here than what the normie high school here in New Salem can offer for her. In fact, there have some normie families that have shown interest in enrolling their kids here. But I'm just rambling on at this point." Nora then gestured to the two chairs sitting in front of her desk, inviting the vampires to sit down while she went about pulling up the necessary forms that Dracula had to take care of.
It was relatively simple for Dracula to fill out all the necessary paperwork, although he did ask a question for clarification's sake once or twice. Regardless, it didn't take the vampire man all that long to enroll his daughter into Monster High. "And there…we…go!" Nora said as the last bit of info was finalized and entered into the appropriate database. Looking over to where Dracula sat across from her, Nora said, "Your daughter is now officially a student here." Turning her head to face Draculaura, the dullahan principal said, "Just give me a moment to print up a copy of your class schedule, then you can head to your first period class when the bell rings in a few minutes."
Draculaura nodded once in thanks as Nora went about printing up a copy of Draculaura's class schedule. The vampire girl still couldn't believe all of the changes that had occurred for her in so short of a time span. This time yesterday morning, she was a poor girl attending a high school that was populated mainly by humans over in Old Salem, with nothing to look forward to but a dinner of instant ramen or something that was similarly as cheap.
…But now her family was very much rich due to her dad winning the lottery, not to mention whatever job he was doing with Frankie's grandfather. Not only that, but Draculaura was now attending Monster High, a high school populated primarily by monsters, here in New Salem. There was so much that Draculaura had to look forward to now, and the vampire girl had no idea what all was going to happen from this point moving forward.
Needless to say, Draculaura was excited.
After the business in Nora's office was taken care of, Draculaura walked out with her father and walked with him to see him out, given that he was leaving to take care of something that he had to do with Frankie's grandfather. The vampire man would be back after school was out for the day so that he could pick Draculaura up from school; Frankie would also be picked up alongside Draculaura, as Victor would be riding with Dracula at the time.
"Try not to give any of your new teachers here any trouble, alright young lady?" Dracula said as he and Draculaura made their way to the front doors that led into the main part of the building for Monster High.
Draculaura rolled her eyes as she said, "I know better than to give my teachers any trouble, dad. You don't have to worry about-"
"Oi, what do you two daft birds think yer doin' getting in me way?" the voice of a teen girl called out from a ways away, sounding annoyed and angry and with a hint of England weaved through the words. Draculaura, who had been cut off midsentence by the teen girl's voice, turned to see what was going on, as did Dracula. As such, the two vampires saw the zombie girl and the troll girl that had helped them earlier, but the two helpful girls weren't alone.
From what Draculaura and her father could see, the zombie girl and the troll girl were being bothered by another pair of girls that were clearly in the middle of being mean to them. The first girl was a werewolf, and clearly the one who not only had spoken up but was also the one who had initiated bothering the two nice girls. The werewolf girl had dark brown, shoulder length hair that was somewhat frizzy, and she wore a baggy cotton hoodie that resembled the Union Jack flag, a pair of baggy jeans that had slightly torn knees, and clunky-looking white sneakers with red streaks on the outer sides.
The other mean girl was a sea monster, with long blonde hair that reaches her waist (there were also some streaks of blue in her hair) and her skin was of pale light blue scales. Her fingers had aquatic-life like webs between them, and there were fins coming out from the back of her forearms and back of her shins, with one fin on each. She wore a baggy khaki shirt over a long-sleeved white shirt, a pair of shorts dark blue shorts that had pink trim on the hem of the legs, and a pair of shiny dark-colored boots that reached a few inches up her shins, ending just before reaching the fins on the back of her shins.
The two nice girls, despite being held up by a pair of girls that were clearly aiming to give them trouble, did not look all that bothered. In fact, more than anything, they looked annoyed that their time was being eaten up by an unnecessary distraction. "…With all due respect, you two," the zombie girl remarked with a dry but mildly firm expression on her face, "We weren't anywhere close to getting in your way. You two spotted us, walked over and started bothering us."
"Shut yer gob," the werewolf girl scoffed, "What makes you think we care about the details?"
"Oi, maybe we ought to tell these dumb sheilas here off for mouthing off to us," the sea monster girl remarked when she turned to face her werewolf companion, her voice carrying a noticeable hint of Australia. Giving her friend an amused look, the sea monster girl asked, "What say you?"
The werewolf girl nodded once in agreement, with a look of amusement on her own face before she and her companion turned to face the two nice girls. However, before anything could happen between any of those four girls, they all stopped short when they heard Draculaura's voice call out with a hint of knowing firmness in it, "I'm sorry, but am I interrupting anything?" The two mean girls were confused by who it was that had spoken, as were the zombie girl and the troll girl as neither of them had heard what Draculaura's voice sounded like yet.
However, things were cleared up for the two nice girls when Draculaura came dashing up, although the two mean girls were confused by the sudden appearance of this seemingly random girl that came in from out of nowhere. "…Oi, who in blazes are you?" the werewolf girl said as she gave Draculaura a look that was a mix of demanding, confused and curious as she and the sea monster girl turned to face her.
Returning the look she was getting with a firm look of her own, Draculaura replied, "Who I am isn't important. What is important is that you two ought to stop bothering these two girls right here. I'm not sure how things are run here since this is literally my first day here at Monster High, but I'm pretty sure that you two can get into a whole lot of trouble for being mean to the other students like this."
The werewolf girl, scoffing with a hint of amusement in her tone, said, "Oh? And just who do you think you're going to tell on us to, new girl?"
Draculaura was going to give a retort, but she stopped short when a hand landed on the werewolf girl's shoulder from behind her, making her jump a bit as she turned around to see who it was. Similarly, the sea monster girl, as well as Draculaura and the two nice girls, all turned to see who it was that had gotten the werewolf girl's attention. Interestingly, it was another werewolf, but one who was a boy, and he looked to be at least slightly older than the werewolf girl.
He was wearing a loose-fitting black t-shirt that had a football insignia on it in the chest area, a pair of jeans held up with a belt, a pair of running shoes, and a simple black metal stud piercing in his left ear, plus a teal newsboy cap that looked to be at least one size bigger than what was needed. The werewolf boy was tall, in good physical shape, and Draculaura had to admit that he looked…rather handsome, actually. The vampire girl hoped that no one would notice her face at that moment, because she was fairly certain that she was blushing.
The werewolf boy looked at the werewolf girl with a look of unamused disappointment on his face. "…Sis, how many times do I have to tell you off for getting up in people's faces?" the werewolf boy asked as he addressed the werewolf girl, who was apparently his sister. Like his sister, the werewolf boy had a hint of England in his words, but it wasn't as pronounced as it was in his younger sibling. Waving his hand at the sea monster girl, the werewolf boy continued as he talked to his sister, "You and your little pal here really need to start reeling it in, otherwise the two of you are going to bite off more than either of you can chew." The werewolf boy crossed his arms over his chest before he shook his head, saying, "I don't want to have to tell you words to the effect of 'I told you so'."
"And why do you care who bothers me and doesn't?" the werewolf girl demanded.
The werewolf boy continued to give his sister a firm glare. "…You know I won't stand for anyone here at school treating anyone else like how you and Lagoona are treating Cleo's friends here right now," the werewolf boy said as he gently shook his head, "I don't care that you're my little sister, Clawdeen. You have no excuse to act against the zero-tolerance policy that Principal Bloodgood is trying to push."
The werewolf girl, identified as Clawdeen, scoffed in an annoyed, slightly angry tone. "Can't believe you're such a good two-shoes," Clawdeen muttered under her breath as she shoved her hands into the front pockets of her baggy hoodie before stalking off, her sea monster friend Lagoona following right along behind her. The werewolf boy sighed in a resigned, mildly troubled tone as he turned to face Draculaura and the two nice girls, right around the time when Dracula came up to the scene.
"Geez, sweetie, you looked like you could have gotten yourself into a bit of trouble if this fine young man here didn't step in," Dracula remarked to his daughter, "At least you could have waited for me so I could tell those two girls to back off from bullying the girls who were nice enough to give us directions to the office."
"Sorry, dad," Draculaura replied, "I guess that I…just sort of acted when I saw what was going on over here."
The two nice girls turned to regard the vampires, with the zombie girl saying, "Thanks for the save. I don't think we got your name, though."
"I'm kind of wanting to get your name as well, if you don't mind," the werewolf boy remarked, "There aren't too many students here outside of my friends and Cleo's group who are willing to confront my little sister and her friend Lagoona when they're on the warpath. You either have nerves of steel or simply didn't know who you were talking to. Either way, you're pretty gutsy."
Draculaura, surprised that she was at the center of so much positive attention, was taken aback a bit. "I'm, umm…Draculaura van Helwing," the vampire girl replied. Gesturing to her father, Draculaura continued, "This is my dad. He was working to get me enrolled here. Today's going to be my first day here at Monster High."
Nodding in a manner suggesting like one of his suspicions had just been confirmed, the werewolf boy remarked, "Ah, so that explains why you decided to confront Clawdeen. Sorry if she and her friend gave you any trouble, by the-" the werewolf boy stopped short as a look of realization spread across his face. "…Hang on, your name sounds familiar to me," the werewolf boy said as he pointed to Draculaura, "Did you move to New Salem yesterday because your father here is now working with Victor Frankenstein on some sort of business?"
"How…" Draculaura began, surprised that this (surprisingly handsome) boy knew all of that, "…How did you know?"
"My guess is that he's Clawrk Wolf's son," Dracula remarked with an almost bored look on his face. Turning to regard the werewolf boy, Dracula said, "You're Clawd, right?"
Nodding to confirm that the vampire man got his name right, Clawd replied, "Yeah, my dad was part of the moving crew that helped you guys move here to New Salem."
"Oh!" Draculaura said in almost of an exclamation, "Frankie told me about you!"
"Frankie Stein, right?" Clawd asked, then continued after the vampire girl nodded in the affirmative, "Yeah, I'm familiar enough with her. She and her dance club friends are all on the cheerleading squad that cheers at all of the games the football team here plays." Letting out another sigh, Clawd said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry that Clawdeen and Lagoona bothered you when you were trying to stick up for Ghoulia and Kjersti here. I swear, those two girls really need to reel it in. Clawdeen especially, since she's being a really poor influence on our little sister Howleen."
Draculaura said nothing as she didn't want to get dragged into family drama on her first day at a new school, but she did nod in agreement. Turning to face the two nice girls, Draculaura said, "So I'm guessing that your names are Ghoulia and Kjersti?"
The two nice girls nodded in confirmation. "Yeah," the zombie girl said as she gestured to herself then the troll girl in that order, "I'm Ghoulia, and this is Kjersti."
With a small but friendly casual smile, Draculaura said, "Well I'm glad to have-" Draculaura was cut off when a school bell rang out over the intercom system all over the school, signaling the beginning of the school day.
"Looks like you kids have to cut this short and get to class," Dracula remarked, "As for me, I'll be taking my leave. I'll be by after school lets out for the day to pick you up, Draculaura." The vampire man turned around slightly and made his way out the front doors, leaving his daughter on her own for the day.
With something of a panicked look on her face, Draculaura said, "Oh crud! I have no idea where any of the classrooms here are located!"
"Do you at least have your schedule?" Ghoulia asked, prompting Draculaura to reach into her right front pocket on her cargo shorts and pull out a folded up sheet of paper, the paper that Nora had printed off earlier with Draculaura's class schedule on it. "…Oh, you have first period language arts with Mr. Clamdestine," the zombie girl remarked, "Kjersti is in that class as well, so you can just follow her."
"Good luck on your first day here," Clawd said to Draculaura as he and Ghoulia waved the vampire girl good-bye as she followed Kjersti to her first class of the day. Draculaura, despite all of the butterflies in her stomach, was still looking forward to what life was going to be like, now that she was a student at Monster High. Following along behind the petite troll girl, Draculaura was aiming to make sure her time at the school for monsters did not go to pot.
END, MONSTER HIGH: IN SESSION CHAPTER THREE
Author's notes;
With this, Draculaura's first exposure to the titular school has been covered. A few more characters have also been introduced, including a few more of the main six girls, some of which are started off differently so that they can have their character arcs later on down the line (I have a reason for doing what I did with Clawdeen and Lagoona, and more explanation for the two of them will be given later when their characters here are developed more). Also, if you'll notice, I'm making use of the monster exchange girls in this story, although only Isi and Kjersti have shown up so far. Also, yes, Ghoulia can talk normally; all zombies in this story will, sort of like awakened zombies in Zombie Land Saga (it's a good anime; I highly recommend it). But that's getting off subject.
Anyway, I'm afraid that I have to cancel this story. Sorry, folks. At least I got this chapter that was in my backlog out first.
