#{ Wooden Wonder

   “YAH--!”

   And just like that, her cover was blown! She didn’t mean to be caught by the woman, even if she was just looking at her hair from behind the counter. Just as quickly as she came, her baseball sized head went behind the counter...before slowly looking back up again with some more weary wonder.

   “I’m...I’m Okay! I was just looking around, Miss...”

   One book, don’t topple. Three books, do not topple. Soon, over that not so big hill on such a nice day, the little doll could be seen sprinting right over that hill. She had...some things to show Shanice definitely--new books she had managed to snag from a local library. Of course, Herla couldn’t bring all of the books she ‘borrowed’ but the few she could? Absolutely!

   “Miss Shanice, Miss Shanice--!!” Oh, how cheerfully she called to the other woman, coming to the screeching halt, letting all the literature flop out of her little hands. Those button eyes squint just a little before springing back to life( a blink?) before smiling widely.  Turns out, even small, little dolls have lungs too...somehow?

   “I...I...! Phew, I’m sorry, ah...I have so much to show you!”

Stare. 

Starin’ at everyone else, every which way.

Who brought all these kids here, any who? 

To be make them be friends. That is why.

@spxcemuses​ proposed: Mr. Shark shakes his head, staring at the little doll that seemed to move around. It looked so small, chipped and cracked in some spots. It looked worse for wear, he thought. "Hey!" He calls out, crouching down to Herla as to not scare her. "You're a doll... A living doll? Woah, that's so cool!" (hope you don't mind this ^^;!! )

   ....S...Sha...Shark...?

   How did a Shark get into her attic? How how how-- WHY WHY WHY?!

   The little doll jitters and shivers behind the wooden beam, too focused on the large man Infront of her to even speak properly at this point. It’s...not like she had much room to talk though--Looking at this...large sharkman compared to her being a little, wooden doll? Practically the same boat. Even with the crouching, it spooked her a little. Was this another one of that devil-man’s tricks? If so, she didn’t want to exactly be...rude.

“...Yes! I am A doll, but I’m also a real person! I’m...ah...How are you real? I’ve...never seen a shark before so, ah, how are you breathing?”

{ For a wooden tall about as high as someone’s knee, it’s a BLESSING she doesn’t sound like a mouse all the time. She still sounds young, with a higher pitch voice and peculiar speaking pattern, but it’s not like she could be any worse. She actually sounds much like Alice from Alice in Wonderland! }

{ Apollyon Is much better--he is a little stuck up, but his voice isn’t...as deep as it should sound, for someone of his stature and presence. Around the middle for pitch, and honestly? A much more regal sounding version of J.D. from Heathers. }

@melatoninburst​​ proposed:  "Miss Herla, I brought you some books from my home. I figure it'd be nice to read something new, right?" ( I hope this is okay! )

~~

“HHAAH--! OH MY GOODNESS--!” 

Quickly, Herla scuttled back to her little cave of books, quick little scuffles of wood hitting leatherback was certainly loud for someone trying to hide. After a moment, she peaks her head out, her button eyes looking around before catching sight of a certain woman...with some books!

She crawls out, reaching out a little wooden hand for a wave. “Sorry! Thought you were the horned man! Of course, I would love some books!”

The look on her little wooden face was very happy, almost ecstatic, jumping out of her little book hole and going right to the woman in question.

“St-Stay away!”

Not good, not good. This is a mayday, a man just stumbled into the attic rumble! Well, it’s not like Herla can really call it an attic anymore, since it was now a mess of jumbled rubble laying in sand. Seriously, she must’ve read this in a book once! She means, it’s not like she was Dorothy landing in a magical place of green crop. At least her house stayed in tact.

So to see a very tall man compared to her doll form instead of a witch? It was rather frightening! She clung to a splinter of wood, holding it like an offensive spear.

“Pl-Please stay away!”

“I’m not having a party, I’ve done parties before and they’re just sad”  ( to Herla )

from this meme

~~

Herla looks up to Shanice, her head tilting to the side. She sat on a pile of books a little bit away, mumbling and talking about the very subject until the woman spoke. So parties for her were sad? What a confusing notion. From what she remembered, parties were fun. They were the product of the need for celebration. At least...that's what she remembered; her memories were distant.

"Why were they sad? I never recalled parties for me being sad! But, then again, I only remember some of my birthdays." She hopped off her little book chair, hobbling over to the larger woman with a worried look. "What would the party even be for?"

The wooden doll whipped her hair to look at the....thing? It looked much like the large bear dolls she'd look at when she was younger... and human. Button eyes stare at his empty husked eyes with such an innate fear.

"...H-Home? Not mine!" She squeaked, taking a couple of steps back. Herla couldn't bottle her emotion as well as she could--especially not in such a foreign place as this! "...I'm not home at all!"
