Don't Let it Stop

Reina

     “I was thinking of applying for a job here.”

     A glance over his shoulder was given before he leaned a bit forward to speak again. He knew more than he should, if he were a normal human. He honestly felt bad for these animatronics. With the rumors and the feel he got from them, there were real souls trapped in them. And as much as he hated mortals and believed they deserved to suffer, there were some exceptiongs. No one needs to be condemned to this. These were children. Keeping his voice low to try to make it so the marionette was the only one to hear.

    The Marionette froze. What had he said? The ‘pass on’...? Who was this man and what did he know. An adult knowing this much was a threat for sure. What did he know about it’s secret? And he wanted it to pass on? It couldn’t yet. Not yet. He had to pay. Not until then could it pass on.

The response took him by surprise, and he lifted his head up to stare at the animatronic.  “–You responded.” This was weird. Did the puppet have the ability to speak? As far as Scott knew, it didn’t, but clearly it had just spoken. Not only had it spoken, it had responded to him– to his question specifically. 

As he looked up at the marionette, Chopper frowned in a confused manner, uncertain of the thing’s gender, species, or even intentions. Still, he lowered his head in frail eagerness to show the doll some respect. “I’m sorry, but prize? What do you mean by that?”

        The girl’s response did nothing to appease her worries but for all Kita           knew, her constant questioning could be bothering or even unnerving           the child. Still, she couldn’t get rid of the sense to protect her and yet at           the same time, she felt as though she also had to be wary of her.

Why?

❝Well… alright then.❞ Kita nodded with a small smile and stuck out two finger guns at the girl, adding a wink. ❝You be careful, kiddo.❞

                    PERHAPS THIS CAN ease Faodubh’s conscience. He looks away from the girl for a brief moment, towards his home. It isn’t too far a walk. He lets go of his cloak and looks down upon her once more, nodding succinctly.

     Reina was skeptical of trusting an adult’s offer but she could see little other option due to her circumstance. She would accept his offer, but she would be sure to be careful around this stranger. She knew better than to trust any adult with anything.
