At first sight, Beck loathed the beady-eyed doll the girl foolishly clutched so close. Or rather, he loathed the presence of another spirit, one specifically attached to the said doll. The scowling ghost naturally was territorial in nature, be it because of his upbringing in the streets or the type of entity he could be identified as -- poltergeists were bitter and volatile bastards, weren't they? Nevertheless, he slunk out of the shadows and took a begrudging seat behind his living peers, luminous eyes narrowed and glued to the little girl's doll.
He ignored most of the pleasantries exchanged in typical silence, but his notched ear flicked back at the prompt for their names. Chemical drool beginning to roll down the mutilated side of his jaw, Beck turned his glare to Florence herself, scanning over her face for a beat. A pale tongue lapped the blue-tinged strand back into his half-exposed mouth and he offered a clipped snort. "Beck." Then he was instantly back to the staring contest with the glass-eyed doll, just as unblinking as the plastic plaything itself. Stumpy tail lashing as best as it could, the boy suddenly curled back his lips into a snarl, a wild glint in his stare. "C'mon out, ya coward," he hissed to the doll, rising to stand with an arched back, "Or are ya so pathetic ya gotta hide in a toy?"
