Oh, this is great! He didn’t even have to threaten or or anything! Everything is going exactly his way, and he can’t help but let out a loud, booming laugh, towering over the girl more than he did before. Did he get bigger somehow? Yeah, of course he did! It’s Snatcher! What else is to be expected when an eldritch abomination such as himself gets someone’s soul?
“That’s it! You completely and utterly fell for my trap again! You know the drill by now, kiddo!” Is that Snatcher taking her soul from her body? Oh, it definitely is! What’s it like feeling empty again? Isn’t it great? Don’t you just love it? Yeah, thought so. “Looks like this soul’s mine again! You’re ready for your precious quality time with me, aren’t you?”
After hearing whatever answer she’ll give (without letting her talk for too long), he picks Hat Kid up by the cape, holding her up and looking right at her. “Great. I hope you’re ready for this. Remember: this is what you asked for!”
With that, he’s getting out a sack, and plopping her inside of it and closing the top of it. “By that, I mean I never agreed I’d play with you. You read the contract, right? Oh, but you can stick right by side from there! It’s how I first met you, so maybe it’ll do you some good to recall that moment.”
aaand there it is! that familiar empty numbing feeling once again! snatcher’s laugh didn’t faze hat kid but the resulting sensation of having a soul stolen sure left a shiver to run down her spine. of course, the mood’s ruined as soon as snatcher thinks he’s pulled the wool over hat kid’s eyes and it’s harder to contain the urge to roll her eyes than you’d think.
“yeah, haha. you really got me this time!” hat kid laughs it off, letting snatcher believe that he really did fool her into giving up her soul again. whatever lets him sleep at night, you know? the mention of quality time definitely sparks a change in hat kid’s demeanor though, and next thing you know she’s looking up at him with bright eyes and a wide smile. “yes!! maybe you’ll finally learn how to chill out and have some fu-”
wait, huh? why’s he picking her up like that? why’s he pulling out a SACK? WHAAAA?
without even getting the chance to throw a punch at him, hat is dropped right into the sack, her one chance at escape closed off nice and neat above her head. perhaps this too should have been expected. hat kid’s starting to think she should take a crash course in contract-reading.
“let me out, snatcher!” she starts, kicking at the side of the sack and hoping it’ll make contact with that shadowy body of his. “why are you so mean!! i’m just trying to be nice to you!” if you can call being overly forward with your friendly advances “nice.” “don’t you even want a friend?”
