~*Luke*~

They shouldn't be critizing us...

Luke listened to Gideon's response. Makes sense, he thought, though strange that people would want to kill them. They were harmless, so it seemed.
"Oh I'm Luke. Er, Luke Ray McConner," he decided to say his full name since Gideon had said his, "And this is Synestra, or Chemical." He nodded over to Chemical who was next to him still.
"I'm Annabelle Eva Hunter, but please, call me Anna," the neko puppet chipped in. He nodded then looked at Kima, "And your name is..?" He asked, wondering if she could respond. He remembered her mouthing her name, Kima? That was it right?

...when we have more than they do.

Kima looked over to Luke and then saw Gideon walk over to her and sit on the table too. Her ears lifted slightly, but stayed back a little as Luke mentioned going outside. Escaping? She turned her neck to look out the window a little. Leave here to go out there? Part of her wondered what it was like. She had only been outside once, and she couldn't remember it because she did not have a soul then. The old man had given her that before he was gone. Her white hair that loosely fell over her shoulders in loose waves swayed slightly as she turned to look back to Luke and Gideon. Her tail swayed back and forth calmly, as to tell them that she was listening to their conversation with a happiness.

Her ears fell back to her head as she noticed the attention was on her. Her name? She had mouthed it to him earlier. If she was able to blush, her face would have been as bright as the red markings on her face. She opened her mouth as to say something but just kept her ears flat against her head. She leaned to Gideon and whispered. "Kima." The ones she trusted were the ones who had stayed there. The only ones she had known for a while. Even that took up a lot of time and empty energy.

[ Edited. Sorry about that. ]

↬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 coughed into his fist, uncomfortably waiting for Kima to reply. When she didn't, ha answered for her. "This is Kima. Shes a fairly new puppet...doesn't talk much...but shes nice." He said, flashing an apologetic smile to Kima. she was kind of like his little sister, him being the second oldest puppet and all. "So, Luke, Chemical, what brought you here?" Gideon asked, turning back to the two humans. Luckily no one had mentioned his nickname, Pigeon, or his eye. That just might have set him off.

↬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↫

Harumi left he kitchen and just watched the youngsters talk away, she was still a bit angry they left the door open. After sighing she walked over and stood next to Gideon."I'm Harumi, The old man never gave me a last name. But its pleasure to meet you all."She said, her voice still in a bit of an angry tone. After speaking she watched silently, wanting to see what will they do.

The female dog demon marionette nodded as Gideon said her name. She smiled softly, but there was the hint of sadness in her eyes. Instead, she just smiled more and looked to Gideon. When he gave her the apologetic smile, she rose a brow and shook her head, as if to say, "no worries and thank you." Then she looked back to Luke and over to Synestra with fascination again.

~*Luke*~

They aren't too bad...

Luke nodded to Kima and Harumi and scratched his head when Gideon asked why they came.
"Well, it was kind of a dare..., We dared the girls to go inside since we thought it was haunted. So we all went in and...well, we ran into you guys." he wondered if they would be offended since they thought their house was haunted. He looked at each of them, feeling a more comfortable air come around them. He wasn't as timid anymore, and was more confident now.

...Still, it's strange talking to puppets.

"You do know dares can lead to other things right? It would have been quite fun if we didn't introduce each other, Then we'd be able to scare the living dead out of you...literally."Harumi said as an evilish grin stretched across her face.

Kima looked over to Harumi who had entered the room again. Her tail continued to sway lightly, brushing from side to side on the desk. She didn't really understand what "daring" meant, so she watched Luke with a confused expression.

Whatever it was, it didn't seem important. She watched outside the window again and gave a light smile. Her ears perked as she listened to the new noises. It seemed like the humans were calming down a little bit and that made her happy. She wasn't as nervous now.

~*Luke*~

They aren't too bad...

Luke blinked at Harumi, "That would probably make us leave," He laughed uneasily since her evil smile was creeping him out a bit. He saw Kima's confused expression, and wondered what he had said confusing.
Suddenly a thought hit him, when were they going to go out anyway? They couldn't just leave after finding the puppets, could they?

...Still, it's strange talking to puppets.

"Don't let me scare you fleshy, I Don't bite..Yet..I'm kidding.."Harumi said smiling, turning the evilish grin to something nicer. After speaking she looked over at the window."If your wondering, You can leave when ever, But if you tell anyone about us I'll personally hunt you down and sew all of your limbs and body parts together, even your eyes."Harumi said, her eyes dashing from the window to the humans, mostly to Luke."But what fun would that be? If I did that everyone else wouldn't be able to have a turn, maybe I'd just drag you here and let them do whatever they'd like to you. But I'd stay in the back with my needle and string."she said again smiling.

After speaking and watching the expressions on the humans she smiled softly and walked fully into the room. Taking a seat where she first started off at she sighed softly and closed her eyes, trying to block out the breathing of the humans, and the noise they made. As she sat there her hands clapped together and her eyes lightly shut, hair black as a raven sat silently on her shoulders, laying relaxed she silently went back to sleep, not making a sound or moving one bit she sat like a statue in her dark corner in the study.

Gideon watched the conversation unfold with a smug smile. The threats, the jokes, the sarcasim. It only made his smile grow the slightest bit. Luke's uneasy laugh made him speak up, "Don't worry, we haven't killed anyone...in a while..." He paused, giving Luke a serious look. Then he laughed light under his breath and shook his head as he stared down at the floor. "Nah, we've never killed anyone. But seriously, don't tell anyone. They could get rid of us in the blink of an eye." His voice faltered on the last sentence, seeming to linger on the word eye. Pushing it from his mind, he looked back up at the human boy and leaned back on the table with his arms, lightly shrugging his shoulders.

Harumi grinned a little after hearing what Gideon had to say. She didn't shoe much motion though, she was tired,Being angry wears her out quite a lot so she relaxed once more and just hid the small grin on her face. After it disappeared she was finally asleep, and the sun started to go down. A new dawn shall come. All she has to do now is wait and see if the fleshies leave or stay.

~*Luke*~

They aren't too bad...

Luke just stared at them when they made killing jokes. That made his confidence falter a bit, but he didn't show it. What really made his confidence fall was when Harumi talked about sewing him and letting the others do whatever they pleased. That wouldn't be too good for his sake.
"Oh...well, that's good...the not killing part," He tried to imagine what a puppet would look like getting arrested. He could just see the newspaper heading now, 'Boy found dead with strings attached to his arms; Doll was found leaving the crime scene'.
"Have you ever incountered hunters?" He didn't know what hunters looked like, but they probably weren't the nicest group in the world.

...Still, it's strange talking to puppets.

Kima flinched when Harumi and Gideon were making the killing jokes. Her ears stayed down low to the top of her head and she looked towards her hands that lay lightly in her lap. She couldn't imagine what would happen if they strung the humans like that. Wouldn't it make everything worse? Her red eyes looked up to Luke and Synestra with a worried expression. She didn't want to scare them away, and yet, it would of been so much better if they left.

When Luke asked if they ever encountered hunters, she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear what Harumi would say. She had only been there sixteen years. She had her fair share of a messed up past, but she didn't like to think about it.

Gideon's smile faded and he glanced over to the sleeping Harumi. "Yes...we have..." He started, looking back to Luke with a somber frown. "More than once. The first time was when I was young, ninety years or so ago. The old man fought them off, but they swore they would come back." He paused, looking over to chemical. "The second was actually on the ninety-nineth anniversary of my creation. I guess you could call it my birthday. This was only a year ago, the same hunters as before, and this time the old man wasn't here to help us. We got them to leave, by means of violence and a lot of Harumi's help, but I know they'll be back again." He sighed, giving Kima a sympathetic look.
