Twisted Strings Crooked Joints (O/A Needs Humans)

~*Luke*~

What are these things...?

Luke's breath caught in his throat and he stood still. These things...they weren't human.
That was the first thing that Luke concluded in his head. The second was that they were made of wood, as if they were...were puppets. They were silent for a moment, and he cleared his throat, saying softly, "W-who are you?"
He had planned on saying what were they, but it came out as who. He didn't know if it was offensive or not, or how they would take it. He just stared at them though, waiting for a response.

...And why are they moving on their own?

Harumi stared at the people in the room, they all looked like they saw a ghost. Not wanting to scare them she didn't move, but continued to watch. Waiting for the right moment to move and talk to them. But once she noticed ҡɩϻɑ staring at them as well. She then stood up and walked slowly over to her."Well well, Kima look here, More humans."She said as she took a seat next to Kima and stared off into the hallway.

((Nothing fancy yet...Ill make it all fancy pansy later..))

Who would thought

something so small

could cause so much trouble?

Synestra stopped, 'What?! That one move!' her steel gray eyes were glued to Harumi. With her looking towards the only escape route she had in her mind, what was she supposed to do to get out? Things like dolls and puppets weren't supposed to move!
Synestra held her breath, her muscles stayed tense, 'Pull it together, they are just wood! Aren't they?' She asked herself, what were they supposed to do? And why did this room have such a heavy feel to it?

Kima stared at the humans with a curiousity for them. They had no strings, no indents of where their joints were. Nothing. If she wasn't so shy, she would get up and touch it. Instead, her hand moved over to her elbow as she examined the man's elbow and knee. Her hand trailed to her knee and her red eyes looked down to her own body. She was much different than the person infront of her.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she looked over to Harumi. She smiled softly and nodded eccstactically with excitement for the new people. She was just like a child in some ways. Her bright red eyes looked up to the humans once again. Although she didn't respond to Luke's question with her voice, she opened her mouth and mouthed the name, 'Kima.'

~*Luke*~

What are these things...?

Luke stared at the puppets, watched as they moved. He heard one of them talk, and wondered what she meant by more humans. Had other humans come here and discovered these wooden dolls?
He saw in the corner of his eyes Chemical tense, and wondered if he looked the same.
He then looked over at the one doll that seemed to mouth something...Kida? Kima? It took him a minute before he understood her saying Kima. He thought of what to ask next, but his mouth felt dry. He swallowed and said, "What do you mean, more humans?"

...And why are they moving on their own?

[Mailli Elister]

"My so you do talk? That's good to know." Harumi said with a soft grin then she leaned against the desk she was standing in front of."Well you see other humans have come here, they also have tried to kill..well destroy us by trying to burn or chop us up."Harumi said as she pushed her self off the desk, her strings wrapped around her arms, and on the floor behind her. "But if you can't tell, this house...mansion is very old. Its one hundred and two years old. The "Old man" built this mansion while he was making me. But anyways, There have been others like you, who have come and go many times, some are from the town that lived about three miles from here. Others are explorers..We call them Hunters though. You know what hunters are..Right? They try to kill something or someone, like deer or ducks. But these hunters go after us. The Marionette and Puppets of this house."Harumi said again looking over at Kima."This is Kima, She is a newer marionette. Oh course her strings aren't on, but i'll put them on later. She can't move without them."Harumi said once more before she walked slowly back to her chair in the corner.

Kima smiled over to the two humans. The girl and the boy. She examined Synestra's long hair, just like her own. Her white hair, today, was loosely flowing over her shoulders in waves. Her dog ears twitched as she listened to the noises the two humans were saying. Their heart beats were fast and they seemed nervous. She held up her hands and waved them, as if trying to say they were completely innocent.

Harumi was such a nice person! They weren't bad, but the two humans stared at them like they were insane. She stared out a window as they spoke, her eyes wandering up to the sky. She smiled and wanted to go outside, but continued to sit next to Harumi.

Synestra smiled slightly at Kima, she seemed sweet, so unaware. Syn even relaxed a little. Harumi almost seemed to run the place now. So in charge.
Synestra was unsure of her own voice in this situation, but she was willing to try it out."Well, we aren't here to hurt you.." She was even unsure of her words, but it seemed to make sense, something to say.

~*Annabelle*~

It's funny...

Anna looked at the humans, smiling ever so softly at them. She thought they seemed pretty nice really, not too bad. But that was how the others looked, before they tried to burn them.
She watched the boys expression go to puzzled when Harumi talked about the hunters. She wondered what he was thinking at the moment, but then she heard what the girl said, then turned slightly to her.
"Then what are you here for?" She asked softly.
"We kind of...came here accidentally," The boy answered.
"Hm, accidentally eh?" she said, amused as she put her hands folded on her lap; her dress crinkled softly when she did so. Who would come in a place like this accidentally?

...When humans are confused.

↬So you wanna believe all the things you've been told
And all the promises that you won't grow old,
In the life made up of strings,
Being pulled by secret beings,
And now I know my falls and fights that brought me here,
Of things that seem to disappear you can't understand my sane, nightmare↫

Gideon sat still in the sheltering darkness of the attic, perched upon a few cardboard boxes full of knick-knacks. The untrained eye would never be able to spot him as he stared out of the foggy window. Though those teenagers were down there at the moment, he didn't really want to make a great effort to introduce himself properly. The others would probably mention him as Pigeon and be done with it. How could he blame them? He wasn't the most lively in the group.

An almost muted sigh escaped the painted frown of Gideon. His one eye was bleak and hollow as he averted his gaze from the window. What if they came up here? Would they see him? If they weren't puppets, which he wasn't sure of, they wouldn't be able to spot him. But if they were...then he may have a problem. Questions to be asked, answers to fufill, it was a burden to him to have to put up with it.

↬In my bed of black roses,
Where I dream secrets the back of my eyelids keep,
In my red sky hypnosis,
It’s only my beginning,
And I have the feeling I’ll go,
Down my own road↫

[Mailli Elister]

Harumi softly grinned and looked over at the humans one more time."Well you must be tired, You may stay here, but if you can't find a place to sleep I'll find you a place to stay, Alright?"She said standing up and walking over to the doll into the hall way."If you may,I think it's a bit crowded in here. If you don't touch anything..or steal anything I will make you all something to eat. From all of us, I'm purely the most human."She said then her voice softened when she got to the end of her sentence.

Kima watched Harumi leave and she sat there without her strings. She wasn't able to move so she stared out the window and waited for someone to come find her. ;3;

She wondered what Gideon was doing. She had always respected every puppet and marionette. Even though she was young, and probably the newest in the household, she was happy just to be there. She didn't like to be alone so she sat there like a loyal dog, waiting for someone to come into the room.

Harumi walked back into the room and got out silver like strings and walked over to Kima."Sorry, I knew I was forgetting something."she said smiling as she tied the strings to Kima's body."There you go."She said clapping her hands together and walking back out to the hall way.

Kima's tail wagged happily as the strings were put on her. She smiled and hopped off of the chair and skipped in a circle. She stretched her arms in the air and kept a happy grin on her lips. She stopped and placed her hands to the window, sticking her forehead against the window to feel the cool glass.

She smiled again and looked back to the two humans. Her gaze looked away from the two and she looked over to Harumi with a smile.
