Touch is the most sensual of your five senses. With touch, you can't be wrong about softness, because softness is the best thing you get to touch out of all things. Things in Scream Street may be hard, rough, spiky, lumpy or slimy, but soft and smooth things are much safer to touch according to Luke, Resus and Cleo by the way. Without your hands, what would you touch now? Your fingers can touch anything that's soft and gentle, like skin, velvet, water or your best friends, but not in a horrible way, even if you happen to touch three friends which happen to be a werewolf, vampire and mummy, and gentle touch is much better than hard touch anyway. So how can you feel my three best friends? Luke has a soft T-shirt so when you stroke it, it's 100% pure cotton, so it's not surprising that his skin is soft to touch too - it feels as smooth as velvet, almost like a pure carpet of silk drawn across Luke's body. What about Resus? He happens to have sensitive skin, so he must be sensitive to touch - as I said in the last few thoughts, if you touch Resus' skin he may giggle, and the only time he touches his skin is when he takes a bath and cares for his own skin, just like Luke does. Resus' cloak also feels quite soft to touch, too, as it's made of pure velvet. And speaking of baths, bubbles are quite foamy and fluffy to touch, especially when you're relaxing at a spa or in the bath. As for Cleo, when she strokes you with one finger, it feels delicate as I have predicted it would be. Some people believe Cleo's bandages remain rough, because she and her dad are Egyptian mummies, but no, you're wrong. I'll let you in on a little secret about how it's safe to touch Cleo: she takes a bath like Luke and Resus do (remember in 'The Plague' when her dad went into the bath?) and she uses a lot of things to keep her bandages nice and soft, but have you ever used fabric softener in the bath? Some fabric softeners are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested, so they can make fabric so soft they care for your skin. Well, Cleo's the only person who uses fabric softener to clean herself in the bath, so the next time you ask Cleo how she gets her bandages all soft, she'll give you that answer immediately, but DON'T even TRY to use fabric softener in the bath at home, or else your skin will get irritated. Anyway, now that Cleo's used to taking a bath her bandages are soft and safe to touch, so watch out, if you want to tickle Cleo she might either laugh or unexpectedly sigh in contentment. The other residents of Scream Street all have unique ways of touch, like Dig has soft fur and a rough, bony half, Lulu has slimy skin and Doug has an itchy, irritating jumper. But sharing touch with Luke, Resus Cleo is a luxury worth sharing...and I totally agree.
