Snatcher

Snatcher wasn't there right now. Apparently another idiot came into the forest in search of their brother, who Snatcher had killed, and that left you alone inside the treehouse. Snatcher didn't want to take you with him after being embarrassed last time and he thought it would only take a few minutes.

It didn't take a few minutes.

When Snatcher returned he was tired and pissed of. The idiot of a man had tried fighting him, then refused to sign the contract and when he did, insulted how it was made.

You noticed he was in a bad mood when he didn't pick you up to make you stop crying, so you decided to cheer him up. "Snatcher!" You didn't learn many words yet, but usually even saying his name would cheer Snatcher up. But instead he sighed and picked up a book. "Not in the mood, kid."

This, of course, annoyed the peck out of you. If you want attention and him being happy, that will happen. Nobody can deny you anything.

You got up from your position on the floor, where you were previously playing with bricks, and used the wall to stand up. Snatcher sensed your movement, but decided his book was more interesting and as long as you didn't leave the house things were probably fine.

You decided to use the walls to walk over to Snatcher and that was working pretty well until you arrived at the 'back door' part. You thought for a moment. Oh peck it. You pushed yourself off of the wall and into the direction of Snatcher chair. You nearly tripped, but you managed to grab the chair.

Surprisingly, Snatcher still chose to ignore you, as if he didn't notice. You sigh and grab his arm, which made him jump and look over. "FOOOOOL!" You screamed in his face. Snatchers face went blank for a few seconds, before he bursts out laughing. "What are you trying to do, kid? Are you trying to impersonate me?! Ha!" He continues to laugh, but then he realized.

"Hey, how did you even get over here?" "Walking." He stared at you for a few seconds, before picking you up and teaching you how to walk and run properly.

Conductor

You were sitting on the floor at the moment while Conductor was sorting out some scripts for his next movie. Which took his attention off of you, which annoyed you greatly.

"Conductor!" You had learned his name when everyone kept saying it and the first time he was extremely happy. Unbeknownst to you, it was actually because you said something else other then Peckneck, but let's not get of topic here. Instead of him paying attention to you, he just sighed and said, "Not now (whatever the neutral term for Lassie/Lad is). I'm working."

You grumbled and thought about what would get his attention. You could throw one of your blocks at him, but your speach isn't good and he would probably just get mad. You thought a bit more before your face lit up, not that Conductor could see.

Getting on your knees, you used your hands to stand up. Although you shook at first, you managed to take a few steps forward. Conductor was to invested in his work to notice you steadily coming closer, which was also why he jumped when you grabbed his arm and pulled. Of course, being young, you didn't have much strength, but he was in one of those spiny chairs so pulling him to your toys wasn't hard.

Conductor looked at the toys, then at you and repeated that before he stopped. "Did yer just walk?" He finally asked and looked back over to you. "Yeah?" You said. Conductor stared at you for a few seconds, speechless, before rolling his chair back. Then, he walked back over and played with you for the rest of the day.

DJ Grooves
(Oml I'm running out of ideas and I have to get this out. Sorry for the short part)

So Grooves invited some friends of his over again, which meant his attention wasn't on you. You were already getting annoyed. "Grooves!" You called out in annoyance but he didn't hear.

You sighed and glared holes into his back, hoping that he'd somehow feel and pay attention to you. He didn't, but you continued until you finally got to annoyed.

You jumped out of your seat, you were sitting at the table, and used it to walk. Each time you moved forward you would push the chair until you finally knocked it into Grooves. "Woah-, darling? What are you doing?"

"Pay attention to meeeeeeee!" You whined and held onto the chair. He looked at you for a second and then at the chair in confusion. "Darling, did you use the chair to walk here?" You nod, not seeing the problem.

He send the guests home and for the rest of the day forced you to lear how to walk in style. You tripped... a lot, but at least he was paying attention to you now.
