It all felt very, very weird.
Rodney pulled himself together miserably, attaching himself like a grotesque puzzle. At least he was familiar with anatomy, although with the way things clicked accomodatingly into whatever place he put them, he could probably have reassembled himself into a teradactyl. Thankfully, the pieces helped in their own way, and seemed slightly magnetically inclined towards where they were supposed to go. He felt more closely related to a box of legos than an actual person.
"St-stop, it feels weird," he plead with a chatter of his teeth, fitting his elbow together and scooping up what he hoped was a C7 vertebrae.

"HEEL! COME BACK HERE!" Melvin called out, pointing to the ground. "You get back here. We're playing!" He shouted, but it seemed Lawr was off to chew on the leg. At least it gave him time to look at Rodney.
"Boy, yours is so fragile. Usually they are a little sturdier even as a undead. Here, let me...get this....together." He said.
Kneeling down, he looked at the bones. "They snap on pretty easily so let me just get them together and..."
Oh.
Wait.
Eyes looking at the pile, he slowly picked up two bones that looked the same "Um....Let me just....like this...."
Slowly, he pushed two together and waited for them to fuse but felt no such thing happen. "Okay, just give me a second here...."
But Rodney was on it, and started snapping himself back into place. Seeing as everything was working itself out, he slowly lowered the two bones back down near Rodney to find their own way home before standing up and heading to Lawr.
"Hey girl. You're such a good girl." He knelt down, which only made him that much shorter. "Come on. Let's keep playing, huh?" He said sweetly, holding out his hand to take the bone.

There was a moment when Melvin yelled that Lawr's stride slowed and it looked like she might even be considering coming over to heel. She certainly didn't look like she was going to bring the leg back to Rodney any time soon though, whether it felt weird or not. It was hers and she'd probably have to bury it for later with so many people trying to take it away from her.
When they turned their attention to Rodney's reassembly she seemed to settle down a little, hunkering down to lick and chew on the bone she'd gotten, hunched over it like a vampire. When Melvin came over to try and take her prize she bared her teeth at him.
"MINE." she said, but seemed to falter a little at the hand. "But...good girl. I am a good girl." she said. "Good girl, so good. Mine..but..good girl." She seemed torn between one thing and the other, still baring her teeth.
But she wouldn't bite him if he took it from her.

Rodney fitted his dress first, smoothing out the fabric over his bones, before fitting his skull carefully in place.
"Are you...are either of you, upset with me, for some reason?" He asked as he twisted on an ankle to the leg he did have, his distress levels still very high. He seemed very upset himself at the prospect.

Melvin reached out with one large hand to pet Lawr upon her head while the other went to reach for the bone and pull it away. "Aww. What a good girl you are. A very good girl." He continued to coo to her before turning to look over his shoulder at Rodney.
"Why would I be mad at you?" Noticing Terry, he nudged his head in the direction of the minipet. "Could you call Terry?"

Relinquishing the bone with a final little whine she leaned instead into the pets, leaning her head into Melvin's hand with insistence. "I am a very good girl." she repeated as if hypnotised. "Such a good girl."
It was only a few moments later she realised Rodney was talking to her. "Suki is a good girl." she crooned to him. "I was getting a present for my mistresssss." And then she seemed to realise that said present was now gone. "Oh no! Give it back!" she whined at Melvin. "Or I will have to get more."
And she eyed Rodney. "I like you." she said.

Jordan had been bitten by minipets before, and by this time his pain tolerance was quite high. Anyway, it felt like this body didn't notice pain as much as his own did. He bent down with a sigh, put one hand on the little hedgehog's back, and told it firmly, "Release." He tapped its nose at the same time.
"No more bones for now," he said to Suki, gently scolding. "Unless you can find one on its own. I believe the lady needs all of hers to move about. You wouldn't like it very much if you couldn't move about because someone had run off with your leg, would you?"

He could only grit his teeth at that mention as he took the bone back from Lawr's mouth. "Yeah, can't imagine you without a limb." He said a bit dryly before looking at himself.
Placing the bone down, he tore off a piece of his animal leathers that made his skirt and offered it to Lawr. "You can give this to your mistress.....or..." He said, moving his hands to pet behind her ears. "....maybe you can try having a master for a little bit. Hmmm?"

The Inugami listened almost placidly to Jordan's words, her ears perked intently as she hung on his every single comment. She flicked her ears back in shame at the reason behind the other golem's logic and nodded. "No." she said. "I wouldn't. Not being able to run and play would be so sad. I will find something else to please you!" she said brightly, wagging her tail.
Melvin, still close by had her attention too, "Yes! Like this!" she said, taking the leather and holding it to her chest as she crooned in pleasure at the pets. "Can I have both? Can I mistress?" she said and gave Jordan a soulful pleading look.

The comment about missing limbs earned the demon a sideways look for the tone. It sounded like he was taking a jab about the missing hand, but there was no way that a Halloweener would know about that.
"Good girl," he told the inugami, and carefully didn't laugh. "I don't see why not. It's up to you, isn't it?"

He had no idea why Lawr wanted to share, but the golem costume pleased Lawr enough for this offering and well, if Jordan was to be a mistress, he only deserved a rag then. "Then you can call me Master." He pointed out.
And it seemed Jordan was going by Mistress. He could play that game.
Pausing his petting for now, Melvin went over to kneel down and help pop Rodney's leg back into place, being sure not to look up his dress. Skeleton or not, Rodney was touchy about privacy, but - well, he was smashed to bits. Then chewed on. Welp!
"Good as new." He said with a pat to the skeleton's shoulders. Looking about, he found the hat and dusted it off with a few swipes of his hand before placing it back on Rodney's head.
"Out here for minipets, right? Have you started yet?"

Every time Jordan praised her he got a butt-swaying tail wag and a look of pride. "It's up to my mistress." she said. "Because I am a good girl." Still, he seemed agreeable to sharing his leadership, so Melvin also got a happy look. "Masterrr." she playfully girred, but looked tragic when he stopped petting her, following him over to Rodney before making her way back to Jordan and extending the small scrap of leather to him earnestly.
"A gift for you mistress." she said.
The mention of minipets seemed to jar her a little and she nodded. "Yes minipets! No started! In the forest, we have so many traps, must replace the ones we lost!"

Jordan accepted the scrap of leather gravely and tucked it into a pocket inside the sleeve of his robe. "Thank you, very nice." He was still torn between being bemused and amused about this situation and Lawrence's strange choice of persona for the golem. He wasn't about to pet her ears the way the demon had been doing, though. There was a line.
"Yes, we're trapping," he agreed. "You found us just before we were about to start. We need to catch a few." "Suki" got a glance for the statement about the ones we lost, but he didn't contradict her.

"Yeah, we were passing by and noticed you two headed out. Suki and.....Mistress?" If Jordan wanted to be called Mistress by Lawr, then Melvin would just play along with all of this too. For all he knew, Mistress was just a little something to keep Jordan going right now. While the plan was minipets, Melvin was far more invested in playing with everyone.
Hearing Master, even from a higher-pitched voice Lawr was using, was still very satisfying and he barely contain laughing at hearing him go so far as calling him that. The counter would be going up in his mind to get him to say it more for this excursion.
"My associate here also loves minipets and would like to help too." Melvin gestured to Rodney as he went for Terry's leash to give back. "Mind if we tag along? We brought our gear too."

"Yaaaay!" she cheered at the other golem as he accepted her offering and the inflection and intonation of the voice, however high pitched it was was for just a moment oddly reminiscent of Mikael.
"With all of us, Master, Mistress and.." and she looked at Rodney. "...bo'ness. We can catch so many little minis. So many. I will try not to chase them I will try so very hard I promise. I'm a good girl."
