[ the puppets head SNAPS to look at her, hearing but the slightest POP from its neck as it did so, body fully turning to face not long after. ]
papa.. ? [ mimicking her voice for a moment. ] The mAILMann? wanted to saaay HELLohh to an Old FrieNND.
[ a LARGE fanged smile. ]
There's hesitation, before slowly, Darla steps around. Only the top of her body is around the corner, poking out as she stares up at it.
" . . are ya here ta see my papa?"
[ steps were taken forward to the door of the office but then it seemed to stop only a few feet away without reason before wiping at its mouth. ear twitch. ]
HELLoohh? is SomeONe There?
[ turning itself around to watch for anyone to appear. ]
I Amm.. SAMmmy! A friendly neighbor to Hoome.
[ it attempted to put on a smile, showing fangs and all but not moving once from where it stood. ]
although.. it Issnโt. Quite.. FAAALL yet, is It?
[ listening to it try and talk, she was still frightened but had stopped crying.
It looked like it hurt, painful talking, but it tried to reassure her.
Moving to stand back up, she was still a little scared, but spoke softly ]
W-who are you..?
[ she questioned softly ]
ooh, Donโt wORRyy .. i would never HURrrt you, little thiing.
[ it sounded like it was struggling to get out those words, wheezing some. it then placed a hand to where a heart would be and the other raised into the air as to confirm its promise. ]
[ taking a step back, she tripped and fell, staring up at the strange puppet with tears falling from their eyes ]
P-please don't h-hurt me..
[ she whimpered, she didnt know what they would do. ]
[ the small puppet towered over the other with a small head tilt to the side, curious as to what they were.. and why they looked scared. ]
Hell-ohh dear.
oh! ears perk up once she chimed in, popping up from where it was crouched behind to make its way through the trees, noticing the other.. a big toothy smile appeared on its face before JUMPING on her back as a surprise.
โ Hoome!~ โ a singsongy tone as arms wrap around her neck.
With a playful roll of her eyes, she joined in on the humming, before calling out his name in a singsongly tune.
" Oh Sammy~ "
She called, gently pushing aside the wrappers, she'll have to clean that up later, can't have nosy people finding this.
[ as the other went deeper into the woods the voice began to get clearer, sort of humming a tune while candy wrappers littered the grounds around them. ]
Hard to see, but home was never one for the sights, looking around to make sure no neighbors were around, they ventured into the woods.
It was something only they could do, but it seemed like she was on a mission, looking for someone, or something.
[ a distant voice could be heard coming from the woods for anyone who dared to listen in almost like it was calling out a name? it was hard to see if anyone was around though, ]
