Like somebody walked over your grave, right?

If I had skin, I'd describe it as crawling. For the grave thing.

Or like you're in imminent danger! You're familiar with that one, right?

It's a good sign that you can recognize your emotions, anyway. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm getting an inkling that you hang out with a bad crowd.

[ Bill's canny little eye half closes in satisfaction. He's basing it solely off her warrant skills, not knowing anything about her actual job just yet. ] I meant your coworkers.

I'll say. If you can't have friends, favors are just as good.

So what do you get up to?

As long as we're having fun about it, I can't say anything!

[ Eyebrow waggle, without an eyebrow. ] That's more like it, just gotta gently cut off that tailend justification at the end there and nobody would ever know you felt even a little bad about it!

I'm pretty good at what I do, too.

Helping monsters realize that's what they are. Especially if they're keeping company that doesn't want that for them.

I'm taking a few wild guesses here!

I like your willingness to define terms so everybody involved has a similar basis of reference! It's nice. And uncommon.

Anyway I guess it depends, but I'll try to give you a better answer than that.

You've got "monster, A", the freakish, aberrant kind who's born weird and everybody knows it. They couldn't help what they are, even if they wanted to. They'll be alone forever, even in a crowded room. They might hurt people without meaning to, or they might be in situations where they need to hurt people.

Then you've got "monster, B", the kind people talk about when they put morals to actions. This is beings that hurt people when they don't need to, or like doing it.

Then you've got "monster, C", both of the above. Maybe started out A and ended up B, maybe mostly A and a little B. Maybe mostly B and a little A, but at that point A matters less and less, only the starting point changes.

The problem is most of these everyday specks of sentience think A doesn't deserve to exist, B and A are identical, and C doesn't exist either.

Everybody's a B Movie Monster to them.
