By the end of the week I had learned everyone's names but before I do that I have to talk about.... my uncles. My father has three younger brothers so from oldest to youngest it's my father then it's Sexual Offenderman or Offender. He had white tentacles with a long black trench coat and fedora with sharp teeth. He was my least favorite uncle so far. He was perverted towards me even though I was his niece. Slender had to stay close to me for the first week of me being here. Next was Trenderman or Trender. He wore glasses even though he has no eyes with a long button up short with a brown vest and a green lined scarf with dark brown slacks plus black and white converses. He has white tentacles like Offender but he was the exact opposite of him. He was the one who had gave me all my clothes, hand made, and I loved them all. He was even capable of making me a weapon for me as well. It was a crimson double bladed axe and it was also a bass. He was my favorite uncle so far. Last was Splendorman or Slendy. He was the wild card and he was the only one with what I have to call eyes and a mouth. They were only two black holes for eyes and a large black smile with no teeth. He wore a black suit with multi-colored pooka dots with a red bow and a top hat to match his suit with a large blue feather. He was always smiling, happy and hugging someone, but the whole "hugging" thing freaked me out a little. I wasn't used to it, but I would have to if I was to stay in this house.
Then there was the many people who lived in the house, so in going to give a short description of them in my own words.
Jeff- pain in my ass.
Ben- perverted idiot.
Puppeteer- nice person who was dating Zoe.
Rake- remember the person who asked of they could kill me? That was him. He was super grumpy and kept his distance.
Masky and Hoodie- both quiet and always hang out together. You never see one without the other(like Jeff and Ben) and I have to be careful around Masky's cheesecake, he will kill you over it.
Bob- he was like a lost puppy who followed me around but could be very violent when he wanted to.
Jane- hates Jeff with a passion but mostly very chill and likes to be around Nina.
Sally- cutest little girl on the planet, even with the blood trails on her face.
Smile Dog- quiet unless provoked and likes to hang out with Jeff and E.J.
E.J.- Doesn't take anyone's shit and loves to mess with Jeff while his girlfriend Nine worships him but will still hurt him if he hurts E.J.
Ticci Toby- likes to be called Toby, he's called Ticci Toby because of his spasms and has a huge crush on Natalie AKA Clockwork.
Clockwork- female version of Jeff but more violent and likes Toby as much as he likes her (I didn't ask, I could tell from the way they keep looking at each other).
Helen Otis- rarely talks and will paint to his hearts content. He's good to draw with because he's quiet and will put in a nice input on what I do.
Last was someone who (I never thought I would say this) I might have a crush on. He has long shaggy black hair with sharp teeth, black ringed with white eyes, a black and white spiral nose and chalk skin to rival mine. Long black pants with suspenders on over a black and white striped shirt and ebony and ivory feathers covering his shoulders. Laughing Jack. I meet him after I had gone to sleep on my first night in the house. I had a dream I was in a carnival, torn torn black and white tent, broken game booths with the heads of teddy bears on hooks. I could hear Pop goes the Weasel in an eerie dark tone. I had no control of my body as I walked to the biggest tent and inside I saw him, standing with a hand made wooden jack in the box singing along with the tune.
"All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in good fun,
Pop goes the weasel."
He looked up from the box and I saw he wore a large grin that showed his sharp, dangerous teeth.
"Why hello, so nice of you to drop by," He gently set the box to the ground and walked towards me. I still had no control as he put an arm around my shoulders. "I just wanted to introduce myself to the bosses daughter. Names Laughing Jack my dear," I could feel his toned chest on my back and I blushed. Having pale white skin didn't help me in the slightest. "And you are? No one ever told me your name." "M-Mai Yukimura." I cursed myself for stuttering. "Mai," The arm that wasn't around me slowly reached towards my face. He caressed my cheek before giving me a deep long cut and I winced.
"What a pretty name fo-" He was cut off as he lurched forward, gripping his chest, he then disappeared. I awoke to various sounds of blood gurgling and curses. I felt on my cheek the sticky life essence running down and dripping on my pillow. 'He really did cut me. How?' I jumped from my bed to the hallway to see a crowd had formed around a black and white stripped door. I went towards the crowd and thanks to my tall height of 5'12 I saw Zoe stomping on Laughing Jack's chest.
"I bet your wondering as to why Zoe is beating the living darkness out of him." I spun around to see Puppeteer next to me in grey sweatpants and a grey wife beater, his yellow eyes looking bored. I nodded silently. 'When did he get here? I didn't even hear him.'
"Yes well, Zoe heard you whimpering and went to check on you. She saw the gash on your cheek and knew the clown had done it. So, she ran to his room and begun to beat him up." As he finished his explanation we heard a loud chorus of "Oohh!" and a loud "Damn!" go with it. I turned back to see that Zoe had stomped on his....bits to say the lease. He now cupped his junk and was silently crying. I could hear whispering and a high pitch "Yes ma'am" before she left. Everyone made a path for her as she left to go to the red and black door and slammed it shut. Puppeteer turned to return to his room which was next to Zoe's before I thought of something.
"Hey," He looked back at me. "How did you know all that if you to were in different rooms?" He gave me a bored look and said,"Because I did the same thing when I heard you whimper." He quickly left.
The next morning I awoke at 5:20 and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I had gone to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. O had begun to make waffles for the others but I made Tomago Kake gohan (Rice with egg) for myself. The first person I encountered was Laughing Jack, holding a watery bag of ice to his package. He saw me and gave a tired smile.
"Good morning, Miss Mai. How are you this morning?" I quirked an eyebrow but answered. "Good, better than last night."
"Yes, about that I apologize for coming into your dream where I do not belong. I'm-"
"Zoe's making you do this, isn't she?" He stared at me with wide eyes. "How...?"
"I know Zoe. Besides, it wasn't that bad, just don't do it again. At least no without my permission." I handed him a plate of freshly made waffles. "And Mai is just fine. Okay?" he looked at the food and gave a genuine smile. "Okay." He was about to leave but he stopped in the doorway.
"I never got to finish what I wanted to tell you last night. I wanted to say ' A pretty name, for a beautiful face." He picked something from his pocket and dropped it on the counter before leaving. I was a brown paper bag and when I opened it it was full of hard multi colored hard candies. I picked out a red one and ate it, sucking the sweet flavoring off as I continued to cook while attempting to make the blush leave my face.
