Random meme, gakked from Bakerstreet....

The Hello meme!

How does it work? Quite simple actually!

1. Post with your muse with "Name|Fandom"
2. Say Hello to others.
3. No, really, just say hello. No prompts, no RNG, just say hi and start up a conversation and see where it goes! Don't know the person? Doesn't matter! Just say hello!
4. PROFIT!

"Seriously? That sucks. I'm really sorry." Death is still a relatively new concept to me, so I'm not entirely sure what I should/shouldn't say. I still feel bad for him.

I huff, glaring out the window. Why couldn't have my asshole father have died instead of our moms?

[surprisingwolf]

"It was a few years ago." I look at the ice cream bowl. "Can I ask what happened to your father?"

I'm sure I'm making a mistake. But I have to get to the bottom of this.

[gimmedonuts]

I look around-- Papa's goons are (probably) not around, but it's hard to ignore what's second nature at this point. "He killed my mom," I admit darkly. I'm not really sure why-- maybe I just need to tell someone who may believe me this time. "But no one believes me." I don't care what I saw. That-- that monster killed my mother. I saw it.

[surprisingwolf]

Horror-related? That's what I keep coming back to. But I don't know if he'll tell me anything. Kouga-san is intimidating. I can be, but I don't like to be.

He looks scared enough as it is, but I want to know more. "How long ago?"

Murders shouldn't be that hard to find, even here.

lol I've only seen the 3D movie of Garo, sry, hope this is vague enough to fit that canon

[gimmedonuts]

"Two weeks ago." I really shouldn't be telling him all this. Even if he doesn't call the cops, I'm putting him in danger. I guess I'm just so relieved that he's taking me seriously, the words are coming out at this point. "Mama and Papa were arguing. Again." They always had-- Mama used to say I had the misfortune of inheriting both their tempers-- but it'd been getting steadily worse. "But then this-- I don't know, this monster came out right from behind Papa, and it... gobbled her up." Just like in a fairy tale. "It didn't even leave behind her clothes. There was no body, so no one believed me." I lean back in my seat. "So I had to leave before Papa could do the same to me."

Works!

[surprisingwolf]

Horror.

That's the only thing I can think of at the moment. But he's right - nobody would believe him.

Except me. And anybody else that was trained in this kind of thing.

"Did it just appear behind your father, or appear from your father?" I ask. I know I shouldn't be asking a regular person this, but I have to know.

Huzzah

[gimmedonuts]

"... Behind, I think. Yeah, behind. Because Papa was talking to it later." And I was so shaky, I fell, and they heard me. "I got, like, one picture on my cell phone, but the battery's dead. Sorry, Leo." I don't know why I'm apologizing. It's not like he stops these monsters or anything. Could anyone, really?

[surprisingwolf]

...I should probably rig a charger for his cellphone, except I don't know how. Mundane technology is not my strong point.

"What did I look like?" I ask. I can start doing research if I can get a good enough description.

[gimmedonuts]

"Big. And red. Kind of like a wolf? Except it had this huge mouth." I use my fingers to open up my own mouth as far as I can, so he can get an idea. "'ike dis."

I missed the notification, sorry!

[surprisingwolf]

I try to think of what it could be and come up blank. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a shapechanger. "Did it look organic, like a living being?"

<3

[gimmedonuts]

"Y-yeah. It had fur and everything." You know, he's asking a lot of very pointed questions, like he wants specific information. "Hey. Have you ever seen these monsters before?"

[surprisingwolf]

"I don't think I've seen that one before," I tell him absently. Something in me is telling me that this might not be a great idea, being so open, but the rest of me is wondering what is controlling his father.

[gimmedonuts]

"Before, hunh?" I lean in, because this conversation is starting to get pretty damn weird, and to be honest, I don't like how that waiter is eying us. "How many have you seen?" Because if he knows more about these monsters, I wanna know. Maybe I can figure out how to stop it, or even kill it.

[surprisingwolf]

"Um...." The waiter is eyeing us strangely. Which is to be expected, given that our conversation has to be... odd.

I might not be the most social, but I do know a lot more cues than anybody thinks.

"Are you done with dessert?" I manage.

[gimmedonuts]

I promptly down the now liquid remains of my ice cream. "Now I am. Let's go."

[surprisingwolf]

I nod, absently making sure that I pay for our desserts before ushering him out.

I try to figure out how to explain things without explaining things. "It's a long story. But I'd like to know where you lived."
