----Oh, how long was she going at this for? It must've been an awfully long time, it looked like it was getting dark now.

Vale wiped her dirty hands clean, her small fingers aching from the amount of digging that was done, and it was barely a scratch at the earth. It was too cold for grave digging, she decided. But what other choice did she had to putting out the misery of her reckless dolls? It appears Madam Dollface the Third's death wasn't enough to get the message across.

Vale barely heard the sounds of...hissing? She took no mind to it, taking to instead keeping at her grave digging. Surely her father would be proud knowing that she was already digging graves, and she can do it so well too! Unfortunately, it wasn't like she could do that to a human. She'd get into a lot of trouble for that.

A loud, cursing voice nearly sent Vale skyward. A quick turn of her small body to see a familiar face. Her face was caked in dirt, along with her student robes. Oh, the elves are gonna give her a stern talking for her robes again... She hurried to pat off the dirt.

"Habib Acropolis! We meet again! Oh...you're quite loud, and a bit of a potty mouth. You'd be no help to killers and the like." Vale only gathered a smile on her face, as if she wasn't caught doing something that barely crossed the lines of ethics and morals. "What is bringing you out on such a," Vale rolled her eyes up to the sky before turning them back. ", woefully clear dusk? And with your wand out too?" As she spoke, a quick, hairy body hurried out of her braids to scurry across her robes. A giant spider, greedily looking for food as usual. Her body was small, still less than a year old. "Oh Familia, it isn't time for supper quite yet."

Habib stared in disbelief as his mind took in what Vale was doing, she was caked in grime and dirt. Behind her, was a hole and, dear gods that was a doll. He knew Vale was... unique but this was a whole other level of fucked up. But honestly he wasn't too put off by it. He had met some weird people and even though she was digging doll graves, it wasn't too far from the realm of possibility judging by the tales he had been told. He had paid some attention in ethics class, something that had clearly been absent from this girl's life. Well here was an opportunity to make a friend. He would just have to go along with this, murder attempt. Habib wasn't exactly sure what to call it. He plastered a smile "Well, maiden of fright. Do you require any aid in your dastardly deeds of darkness." And he thought quietly to himself Please don't upgrade your killings onto people and if so please don't make me a target. His eyes trailed down to the spider. One of the few things Habib was comfortable with growing up surrounded by all manner of magical creatures. He knelt down to put his hand out for Familia.

----Maiden of fright? Well, that certainly runs off the half cut tongue! If Vale says so herself, that is.

She watched Familia gladly accepting a new hand, but with a sense of cautiousness. Vale only takes to happily clapping her hands together as her spider didn't decide to take the option of biting. She'll be ready in no time for becoming one of the best guard spiders in existence.

"Hm, maiden of fright..." Vale finally collected a title most suitable for an Ashwood like herself. "I appreciate your desires to achieve me an alibi! Your unfit screaming is forgiven, and your life shall not join with my doll's. I am almost done as it were." Vale turned back to the hole, digging away with her nails as she threw cold, hard soil across the yard without consideration.

When she was satisifed with her digging, Vale turned to a doll's head, throwing it carelessly into the hole next to one that looked just as loose. Suddenly, she let out a yelp, as if she was sent into the hole by an unknown force.

"Keep a woeful eye on my pet spider for me in the mean time. I gotta make sure the dead stays dead!" With a grasp of a nearby stick, Vale moved to frail violently in the hole, shouting in a mix of Swahili and English. "Begone, vicious entity! Your days are gone! I shall be taking your place!" Familia turned to watch Vale's movements. Her gaze was curious, only to lose interest and search around her for any potential source of food.

Yep Habib was sure of it, this girl was crazy. As she turned around to tend to her corpse he was left with the spider. Habib, wished he had brought treats. Spiders like, what was it she called the thing. Familia, yeah that. Things like familia weren't the most friendly. Thankfully he knew it wouldn't kill him. Spiders like these weren't venomous enough to harm humans, yet judging by what he had seen of Vale. He wouldn't put it past her to have some genetically modified version of a spider. One primed and ready for murder attempts. As Habib stared at the girl his curiousity burned, he had heard stories of the ashwoods, heck what pureblood kid didn't know of them, but now here was one in the flesh. She was weird, but he couldn't let this chance pass him by. Now how to approach this tactfully. Hey vale is your family a group of sociopathic killers. No all that would earn him was a punch and a spider bite. He would have to be more tactful. He knelt down to her level, Familia, still on his arm and said "Why? Why'd you kill the doll. Why act all..." He mimed something with his hands, his words evidently failing him.

----By the time Vale was done, she was out of breath and even worse for wear. She dragged herself out of her make shift hole and quickly threw soil onto her latest victim. She perked up to Habib's question.

"Quite simple really! Been causing me nothing but trouble! In order for a," Vale threw more soil and patted it down. ", Ashwood like me to build my proper reputation. Well!" Vale felt satisfied with her work, standing back up and patting her robes as clean as possible.

"I need to ensure nothing can possibly ruin it! This doll here, you see..." A sharp finger pointed down. "Mister Hibby-Bibby, was once wanted for committing murders across the Atlantic Ocean! Had himself a boat once and killed many people! He only got away with it because it's hard to prove someone killed another out at sea! Inspiring story if I say so myself, but he was caught lollygagging on the streets of London itself! Can't have messy criminals at my side!" Vale holstered her head up high, her short braids quick to move with her as she pointed to the sky.

"If one wishes to be known wide, they must first be stealthy in their crimes! It is an Ashwood code indeed, yes." Amber eyes stared down to the kneeled boy, a smile overtaking her grimy face. "Habib Acropolis, I ask of you to remain silent to the crime you have witnessed before yourself. If you are unable to do such a promise, rest assure my spider shall make sure you are given the most merciful of deaths. 'Tis only honorable of the newly titled Maiden of Fright to do!"

----Huh? Since when was there a 'showman' in the Slytherin house? Vale's face twisted in a form of confusion before easily turning back to just accepting the new 'fact.' Her face would only turn back to a confused expression to hearing strange hissing sounds from his mouth.

"Well hiss hiss to you too, Habib Acropolis!" Was this what muggles called 'beatboxing?' Well, if the 'showman' is able to do the 'beatboxing', then he is indeed a showman. Prehaps she'll ask Avery later about this 'beatboxing' ability that muggles have. One could always trust a magbob to know such things.

Her eyes immediately twisted to the idea of setting something on fire, twisting her head just as quick to look to the buried body of her latest victim next to another. Her mind processed the idea, even finding it at most logical and sensible to do-no, not now. Vale's smile slowly turned down into a frown.

"Fire setting! A splendid idea! Evidence is all lost with a good fire! But unfortunately, I'd have to wait a while for that." Vale took to making a short whisper, hiding her mouth.

"Last time I set a doll on fire after death, it ended up back on my bed stand." She made a nod, as if confirming to herself of her own doings. "Mister Hibby-Bibby will stay dead now, I assure you. Also, the fire creates smoke and attracts unwanted attention. We don't desire unwanted attention." She took to smiling brightly.

"Well good showman, it is time I return back to my nightly scribblings of notes for school. If I call upon you to create I an alibi, be sure to arrive as soon as possible. Familia!" Vale snapped her fingers, and as if on cue, the spider was quick to hurry back into her hair. THe spider was eager to find herself food soon. Usually food came after she did something. "Now, if you'll excuse me. Habib Acropolis, showman of the snake house, may your enemies burn and beg for mercy from your wrath." With a tap, skip, and a hum, Vale was already clicking her heels quickly away to avoid getting into trouble for her latest crime in the courtyard.

Vale exited the thread.
