Tucked away in the corner of the campus a small pond that resonates with an odd arcane magic. It is a sad place that resonates with the tragedy that occured here. It is here that a young girl was drowned over 100 years ago. The details of this event have been lost to time. Some say it was an accident, some say it was done in a moment of passion. You could ask her herself but she doesn't remember.

A small disturbance on the surface of the pond interupts the quiet moment. Shortly afterwords a young girl with hair that was once blonde but is now a light gray raises out of the waters. The old ribbons still tied in her hair have also long lost their color. She is dripping wet and has a somewhat sad manner to her movements. She looks around the place she has come to "live" for so long hoping to find someone to talk too before heading out to look around campus.

Clean up some of the discarded trash around the pond. "Is it so much to ask people to put things in the trash?" She thinks out loud. She would sigh but ever since her death she has found that taking breaths like that is rather uncomfortable. Instead she just silently picks up the pieces of trash and drops them in a nearby bin, leaving wet footprints behind herself. She has several hours worth of time she can spend outside the pond before her body starts to decay forcing her to return to regenerate. Looking around she tries to figure out what part of campus to explore today. Maybe today she will finally reveal herself to the students who live here. Maybe...

As Dr. Salinger was returning to the school's infirmary with his order from the coffee shop, he spotted a small pond.
"Hmm...Looks peaceful enough."
He strolled over to a nearby bench and took a seat, setting the large bag down next to him. Retrieving one of the cups of coffee and a bagel from the bag, Rust leaned back to enjoy a small break.

Sensing someone near her "home" Heather walks back over to it. Seeing a man dressed in what appears to be a doctors outfit she approaches cautiously.

Rust finished the rest of the bagel and took a sip of the coffee before looking up to see a girl coming near. He smiled politely, assuming her to be another student.

Noticing the man has seen her she approaches leaving a trail of water behind her as always. "You're not planning on leaving that stuff here are you?" She asks referring to the bag and other potential trash. "I hate always having to clean up this place."

The doctor blinked and looked at the bag of food.
"You don't need to worry. As soon as I finish, I will make sure that the bag goes into a trash bin."

"Thanks for that. I have to clean this place everyday. Sometimes several times a day." *Finds a small plastic bag and sighs which causes her to cough up a little water. She picks it up and tosses it.*

His eyes creased in concern as the girl coughed.
"Are you alright? You look as though you may be sick."

"I don't get sick anymore. It's because I took in air which I shouldn't do anymore. Even after 100 years I forget sometimes." Feeling comfortable talking to this guy she sits down next to him hoping he doesn't mind. She tries not to get close enough to get any water on him.

Rust nodded, having forgotten that this school is home to many supernatural beings.
"Well, that seems quite normal. After all, inhaling is an involuntary function. I can imagine that it would be almost impossible to try not to, even after it becomes an unnecessary habit."
He took another sip of his coffee and held out the bag to offer the girl some food.
"Would you like any? That is, are you able to eat?"

"I appreciate the offer but that would be even worse for me. But don't worry as long as I don't stay out of the pond for longer then about 5 hours or so I will be alright." Smiles at him. "You're the first person in 100 years to notice me here. People tend to stay away from here for long periods of time. Just long enough to eat something and leave the wrappers behind." pouts

The doctor set the bag back down, before giving the girl a reassuring smile.
"It is a rather nice place to eat and enjoy the scenery, but that doesn't excuse others leaving trash around."
He shook his head, a little upset by the uncaring acts of others.
"One hundred years is a long time. I'm guessing then that you aren't a student."

"Not really no. I thought about it at times after all my commute wouldn't be very long, but most teachers probably don't want to get their classrooms all wet. Paper and computers don't like it much either." She laughs but it doesn't hide her sadness much. "Nope I usually just watch people come and go trying to remember what it was like to be alive."
