boo palace was the place any ghoul would die to live in. filled with spider webs of the most exotic kinds, with cursed pipe organs and a beautiful section with antique preserved mice, it was an exquisite spot.

once you enter the magnificent home, you are met with the receptionist, ten. while he may be a little older, and not really alive, ten is an amazing person. he jokes around, but sadly has to pick up his falling limbs once in a while. what a crazy ghoul !

ningning, the younger zombie, was said to be a wonderful young pyschic, who passed after meeting the front of a speeding carriage. now, she resided in boo palace, and served as a trainee to her mentor, ten.

miss. ji-yoo is about to become a countess, as the daughter of count sicheng and countess yeri, the future king and queen of all vampires. for now, she was helping out all lost monsters, who wanted to live somewhere nice.

with our three receptionists, boo palace was kept safe. ghouls knew exactly where to go, and how to travel over to other homes, of their boo-friends, or how those humans called them. they were not familiar with boo-terms.

" young countess ji-yoo, may i have the pleasure of offering you a frog, as a gift ? " ten asked, seeing that ji-yoo immediately nodded. she proudly took the dead frog, looking at it with admiration. ten was a lovely boss.

" i would have loved to drop a little blood, but it looks as if this is sadly better for my collection of unalive things. " ji-yoo let out a sigh. as she continued to look at it, a smile appeared on her face. with that, ten could see her smaller fangs.

" your uncle is here, to visit our palace ! young countess ji-yoo, his ghostly majesty, swamp monster mark, has arrived ! " ningning announced, coming into the reception with her bell. " he wishes to see you, now. "

ji-yoo nodded. she walked away from the reception, seeing that her uncle was sitting on one of the couches. it was clear he had just arrived from the swamp, as dark water dripped around the couches, and an eerie smell came towards ji-yoo.

" ji-yoo, my dear niece, it is a wonder to see you ! ever since my sister went from swamp princess, to vampire countess, i have barely gotten to see you. " mark got up from the couch, pulling ji-yoo into a hug. " how have you been doing ? "

" without a doubt, i have been thinking of you, my lovely uncle. though, i do have to mention that, whenever you exit the swamp kingdom, please wash yourself. " ji-yoo scrunched her nose, still smelling the swamp.

" come on, niece, it is not that bad ! i am a king of a kingdom that is filled with lovely things, and our smell should not be considered one of them. " mark argued, not seeing a problem with the smell that made its way through the whole lobby.

a few older witches scrunched their noses, walking past mark. seeing that her uncle did not care about the opinions regarding the authentic swamp experience, she let out a laugh. she did need to get back to working.

" my mother is probably preparing a delicious stew, with the fresh blood handed out around the palace. would you mind going up to her ? i need to work. " ji-yoo asked. almost immediately, mark nodded, and ran up to the fancy, skeleton elevator.

it is rumoured that the elevator was made from the skeletons of the humans who dare to comment on boo palace, a spooky fact that got those boring humans to stop trying to reach the lovely palace.
