Scene #761: Mandy Rose in: Monsters Sure Are Weird

Owner	Pose
Mandy Rose	Amanda 'Mandy' Rose opens the back door, still wearing her school uniform, with her backpack sensibly hung over both shoulders like it's supposed to be. "I'm home!" she calls to the house in general. It's been a few months since Mandy's 'rebirth', and she's started to get into the swing of things now. She still has weird flashes of memory every so often, especially when she watches the multiversal news channels, but they're becoming less confusing and distressing as time goes on. Her new parents are nice, and kinda spoil her rotten, but that hasn't really effected her in any negative ways. The girl heads up the stairs to her room.
Hana	Hana is home, too! But the monster is currently in Mandy's room, jumping on her bed. It is quite a loud noise, because the monsterling just does not understand that noise might be bad when it's trying to hide from detection. Bounce bounce bounce! It keeps bouncing there, and lets out a loud giggling noise! Mandy may notice that the floor is covered in... trinkets. Weird objects that Hana brought home. Is that a garbage can lid? And a pile of bottlecaps? Monsters are /weird/!
Mandy Rose	Mandy drops her bag once she walks in the door... and then stares. "H-hana!" she shout-whispers, making it come out in a sort of hiss. "You're 'sposed to be hiding! And... what's all this..." She looks around the room, spotting Mana - her Gastly - just hanging out near the ceiling, and Mr. PomPoms - her cyborg cat - just kinda chilling on her bedside cabinet. And staring soullessly. It's kinda creepy.
Hana	Hana stops jumping, the bed squeaking and rattling as the kinetic force slows down. The bush monster stares at Mandy like she just shouted real loud, and then taps its claws together, looking around at the souveneirs that decorate the room now. "... prizes. I got prizes. Yes yes yep." It points at the pile of bottlecaps, and tells Mandy, "Coins! Yes?" Maybe in some worlds. They're clearly bottlecaps, and not even rare and valuable ones. "Oh!" And then the monster jumps off the bed, and picks up a black bandana, which it ties to its face like, say, a superhero mask, complete with a hole in the bandana for its mouth. "I'm a superhero!" it announces, mouth cracked open in a wide and excited grin.
Mandy Rose	Mandy looks unsure for a moment. "Prizes..? Did someone give these to you for something?" And then Hana is gesturing to the 'coins'. Mandy shakes her head. "Bottlecaps," she corrects, with a quirky little grin. She actually finds this kinda funny. "I guess they kinda look like coins, but..." Then there's a longer pause. "I thought you were a monster! How can a monster be a superhero? That doesn't make much sense."
Hana	Hana isn't sure where Mandy's confusion is. The monster considers the question, and tries to noodle it out... make an explanation that actually works for the both of them without sounding like a gargled babbling. And the light turns on in its head. "You're a human! I'm a monster. But I don't have to /just/ be a monster, nope no." It wiggles its arms in gestures indicating itself and Mandy appropriately. Seems pretty energetic. "Like that's a ghost," it points to Mana, "And that's uh... that's a cat. But they're not just a ghost and a cat." And then it proudly smiles at Mandy.
Mandy Rose	Mandy responds, in a low voice, "I'm not entirely sure that's a cat." Mr. PomPoms contineus to stare soullesly. "I... huuh. Monsters are usually the -bad guys-, though. Although I guess you're not a bad guy..." Mandy sits down on her bed, and attempts to tug Hana over to her. "So what did you do?"
Hana	Gasp! Monsters are /bad guys/??? Hana puts its paws on its face in shock. Nothing about its goo memories tells it that! Is it supposed to be eating cats and little old ladies? The monster begins to have a little bit of a panic attack, but calms when pulled over. It looks up at Mandy, fiddling with its tattered 'superhero' mask. "I beat up some badguys. I didn't even eat them!" it tells Mandy. "I met superheroes, too."
Mandy Rose	Mandy frowns a little bit, and runs a hand through Hana's... flowers. "Well, good. You're not meant to eat badguys." Pause. "Or other people. Just, in general. What superheroes did you meet? There's a -lot- of them out there..."
Hana	"Armsmaster, Miss Militia--" And so Hana begins to list off all the Protectorate superheroes it has met so far. "Miss Militia was nice! She's a friend." The flower bush monster is practically glowing with happiness. Seems like despite its oddities it has found some people who tolerate it or even befriended it.
Mandy Rose	Mandy hmmms a little bit. "Huuh. I have no idea who any of those people are. Like... no recollections at all. They must be new, or something." She promptly attempts to pull Hana into her lap. "...You're cute when you're happy."
Hana	Once held like a stuffed doll, Hana blows sap bubbles for a bit. It seems all too cheerful, as if nothing bothers it at all right now... and then it falls asleep like that. It's a good thing it's such a lightweight creature.
