See, but this is good. Maybe. Don't you like making friends better than enemies? I do, at least. And I would rather focus on that than on people who get mad at you for trying to defend me.
I mean, in a way, they're right. What does it matter? You're always going to look after me and they're always going to be...well. Whatever they are. As long as you have my back, it's not like they can actually hurt me. Duh.

I may have been waiting for this.
Sparky for his part recognizes her and he'll just...dart over to her tail wagging.] Sparky! Hey Sparky!
:3 approves!
[When she sees the boy, she quickly stands back up and steps away, folding her hands in her lap, to show she meant no harm or offense.] I'm sorry, is he yours? I didn't mean to presume or anything.

[They're nicer then the kids back home okay. seriously] ...His tail has been loose...how'd you know?
no subject
Oh, he came into my cemetery, a few weeks ago. It...sort of fell off. I'm not...much of a surgeon, but I had some needle and thread, so...I did what I could.
no subject
[He doesn't get out much.]
You did a great job. I couldn't even tell. He doesn't like being cooped up but maybe moving...I can let him out more.
no subject
Thanks, I guess. He's always welcome in my graveyard, at least. It's not much and it's...sort of enclosed, but. [She smiles, shrugging, hands still in her lap. But not for long. She reaches one out.]
I'm Shilo.
no subject
[The last part is said because he's curious. The last kid he introduced himself to...really recognized the name.]
no subject
[Lightbulb.] Victor Frankenstein. Like...the doctor? [A quick glance to Sparky. More lightbulbs.] Ohmygosh, did...you make him?
no subject
[Victor doesn't say anything for a moment] ...No. He was my dog. He died, he was my only friend and...I had a science teacher who gave me the idea.
It was...dumb I guess but he saved our town mayor's niece and ..
[Sparky goes to sit on Victor's feet and tail wag.] You really probably wouldn't believe me. Sometimes I don't believe it.
no subject
Tell me anyway? You'd probably be surprised by just how much I can believe.
no subject
...Sparky was my only friend. We made movies together, then my dad told me to sign up for baseball. I took him out and he got into the middle of the road and he...
[sparky lets out a whine. Victor leans down to pat him before sitting on the grass and gesturing for her to sit as well.]
...where I live? It's this place called New Holland. Lightning Strikes were really regular there because of the old haunted windmill. So...my teacher gave me this idea and I...it worked. I tried to hide Sparky, but...he doesn't like being cooped up. I was afraid people were going to hurt him but...
[Sparky whines.]
Edgar found him.
no subject
I know how he feels. [A nervous laugh bubbles up.] I mean, not that. I'm not like he is. But...sometimes you just can't stay locked up. Even if you are a science experiment.
Who's Edgar?
no subject
[He's really tempted to ask, but instead. The story.] Edgar was this kid in school. He and I were kind of...loners. Anyway Edgar found out about Sparky...and he told me to tell him how to do it...or he'd tell about what I did.
[Victor looks ashamed] so I did and a bunch of other kids tried to recreate it...and they brought back all their pets but they weren't like Sparky. One destroyed our Dutch Days festival.
[Poor Tashi] ...and the weird girl's cat...he became a vampire and he kidnapped Elsa...annnd he held her and her dog in the windmill until it sort of burnt down and sparky had to save them.
[And now he's waiting for the skepticism, the scorn, the disbelief.]
no subject
I'm sorry. Poor Sparky. I mean, and you. That's...cats can really become vampires?
no subject
Everyone's got a story. Victor just sighs.]
I don't know. We never got a chance to figure it out. It was like...you ever watch any of the old black and white horror movies on TV?
[Said the black and white boy.]
no subject
Oh, sure! I love antique horror movies. I have a hyper-ton on VHS!
no subject
Did you ever see "Godzilla" Or "The Fly?" or... "The Thing?"

[Stare] what? ...oh. Do you have pets?

[Sparky's tail wags and he'll just,roll over on his back more, paws in the air]
Your dad sounds seriously lame...Seriously. Does that mean you'd never...I mean you've seen a cat right?
no subject
He was hyper-lame.
I've seen...pictures. I guess that doesn't really count, though, does it?
no subject
He wasn't even a good cat. Well I mean I guess he was, but... He was weird.
[Sparky's tail wags and he bats at her hands. YES ATTENTION.]
no subject
[She puts her hand on Sparky's belly and gives him a pat.] ...It's probably good I can't meet him.
no subject
[Sparky sits up and barks] Persephone is a poodle.
[Sparky is now looking for persephone, up and barking and running circles around them]
