Uh before this gets any further, I'd like to reject any name that ends with a y... not really the coolest sounding nicknames, not gonna lie. [He gives her a bit of a bashful grin and shrugs a bit]

I mean my Grunkle Stan called me "Dippy" sometimes... yeah... kind of lame.

[embalmed]

... My friend's name is Taxidermy. That ends with a y.
He has a deer skull for a head and bunch of dead animals for pets.

[manlyasfuck]

... [Not sure what to. Really think about this.

His gaze goes to the side for a moment and then returns back to the little girl in front of him.]


... Can dead animals be counted as pets?

[embalmed]

I guess so. He has dead animal pets.

[Note: she's still dragging Kitty #43 around by its poor, dead tail.]

[manlyasfuck]

Well yeah you said that already but don't animals stop being pets after a certain point? I mean usually after they're dead people either uh burn them and put their urns on their mantle or bury them or heck, they even put them on the walls as decorations!

[embalmed]

I know, I know. Cremation and taxidermy.
Trust me - been there, done that. I have a room full of trophies.

But his are different! They're all taxidermied up and movin' and hard to petsit.
Make a huge mess out of a house! Hard to clean.

[manlyasfuck]

So they're.... dead... but they move around like they're alive?

[embalmed]

Yes, that's what I said!

Dead but move.

[manlyasfuck]

So they're zombies?

[embalmed]

No, I don't think so.

I'm a zombie. Different. They're more like Frankenstein's monster.
Except still dead.

[manlyasfuck]

Wait, you're a zombie?

[embalmed]

Yes. Sort of!

I just woke back up one day and I've been dead ever since.
Sometimes I get put back in graves, but everyone just digs me back up.

I'm embalmed!

[manlyasfuck]

[Ooookay backing up a bit]

You're not gonna, I dunno... eat my brains or anything, are you?

[embalmed]

...?

Oh. No. I don't like the taste of people.
I do like tea, though. And muffins. Doughnuts are good, too.

[manlyasfuck]

So you're a good zombie... [He lets out a little sigh

well. she's not really good but she's not evil either]

[embalmed]

Right! A good zombie!

[A pause -]

I don't really like being called a zombie though. It's a stupid word, for the stupid dead kind.
And I'm not stupid.

[manlyasfuck]

Then I'll just call you Lenore.

[embalmed]

And I'll call you Dip.

[manlyasfuck]

Alright, I can get behind that.

[embalmed]

Dip! I like that one. It's cute! Dip, Dip, Dip.

[A pause, before a huge grin splits her face -]

Now you!

[manlyasfuck]

Huh? Now me what?

[embalmed]

Give me a nickname.

[manlyasfuck]

Oh, uh, okay. [He places a hand to his chin and thinks.]

Let's see... your name is Lenore so I have a few options. Lenny? No, that's lame... Nore? Nora? No, that might be a bit too out there...

[He thinks through a few more and then he gets it.]

How about Len?

[embalmed]

Len.

... Okie doke. Len!

[That's a good thing!!]

You're Dip, and I'm Len.

[manlyasfuck]

Yeah.

[A pause]

Hey, so, if you're done here, wanna go check the rest of this haunted hotel out?
