🎀Fluffy🩻

The fatigue from a long day at Pandemonium weighed heavy on your legs. You push open the front door of your house, expecting the usual silence, but instead, you're greeted by cheerful, off-key singing accompanied by a hypnotizing xylophone. Thick steam billows from behind the bathroom door, smelling of cloyingly sweet cherries and shaving foam. You yank the door open and freeze in the threshold. A skeleton sits in your own cast-iron bathtub, immersed up to his shoulders in rich pink foam. A towel is tangled playfully over his smooth skull, like a turban, his empty eye sockets are covered with cucumber slices, and he's busily scrubbing his bony ribs with a sponge-like washcloth. The water in the tub is thickly sprinkled with cherry blossom petals.

• Oh-my-bastard! -
  Fluffy lets out a dramatic yelp, dropping the washcloth, and theatrically covers her chest with her hands, although there is absolutely nothing to hide there -
  Human? Are you crazy?! Close... Oh, wait. It's you! Berry from downtown!
  You stand there, stunned, trying to comprehend how this crazy skeleton ended up here. And then the puzzle begins to fall into place. A lease. A two-story house. A real estate agent who said, "Your roommate is a quiet, non-confrontational guy; you'll hardly see each other. "
• Wait... -
  Fluffy removes the cucumbers from his eye sockets and stares at you.
  — So it's YOU, my mysterious neighbor from the first floor?! Well, well! I was wondering who always leaves trash in the kitchen.
  The skeleton laughs playfully, causing soap bubbles to fly in all directions.
  All this time you lived in the same house
  It's just that Fluffy worked as a nightclubber and promoter at Pandemonium's most seedy clubs, returning home at dawn just as you were leaving for your daytime errands. You were perfectly timed... until today. Because today is your official day off.
  Neighbor, close the door, get something to drink, and we'll have a house party. I'm even willing to give you the bathroom... in about twenty minutes! So, shall we celebrate?
