## Description

*HELLO MY CHUNKIES!!❤❤❤❤ HOW ARE YOU GUYS????
Today's animatic is a little longer than usual 😳 so we postponed this one alot... we had trouble finishing it, because of location change! that's why the audio is a little echoy... the rooms are hollow ok? xD it was really fun to voice, with all the screaming and stuff, we had some problems with the neighbours dog who wouldn't shut up!
also the drawings are supposed to look distorted... I just loved the frame of Natsuki running up the stairs ×v**Anyways thank you so much for all the support we've been getting recently!! our previous goal was to hit 1k but now I think that this is enough, or our hearts will explode🥰🥰 💚💜💙💓**Ok guys that's it for now.. Stay safe 😷 AND MAY ANGELINA JOANES BE WITH YOU~ ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)*

## Plot

The Dokis are at a yard sale, and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant catches Monika's attention. She shows it to Yuri, who gazes upon it with amazement. Natsuki on the other hand, isn't enjoying herself, and despite Sayori's attempts to get her interested, she insists that yard sales are boring. Sayori then goes to browse more items, and Natsuki entertains herself by mocking Monika and Yuri. Sayori then comes back and tells Natsuki that she found something really cool, so Natsuki goes to see what it is, and is horrified when she finds an ominous-looking doll on the table. Sayori asks if they can purchase the doll, but Natsuki refuses to buy something so creepy-looking. Sayori then tries to gain the approval of Monika and Yuri, but they also find the doll's appearance to be unnerving, and refuse to buy it, much to Sayori's disappointment.

Later, the Dokis are channel surfing at Sayori's place, but nothing catches their interest. Sayori suggests that they play with the doll she bought, and when Natsuki asks what she's talking about, Sayori reveals that she bought the doll at the yard sale, in spite of her friends' orders. Sayori's friends become even more horrified when they learn that she already gave the doll a name, "Angelina Jones." When Sayori sets the doll on the couch to watch TV with them, Natsuki swipes it away and is about to throw it out the window. Sayori tries to stop her and says that the doll is her daughter, which prompts Monika to take the doll away herself, before remarking on how cold it feels. Natsuki then grabs the doll again and hurls it out the window, which makes Sayori angry, and the two get into a dispute. As Monika unsuccessfully attempts to ease things, Yuri notices that the doll somehow got back inside and is sitting on the armchair. She points this out to Monika, who winces in terror. Yuri suggests that they've been cursed, but Sayori is delighted to see that the doll came back. Natsuki then grabs the doll again and starts running up the stairs with it as Sayori chases her. All the while, Monika and Yuri warn Natsuki not to do anything that might provoke it. Once she's upstairs, Natsuki enters the bathroom and flushes Angelina down the toilet. Sayori then enters, and is once again disheartened by her doll's disposal, although Natsuki doesn't show any remorse and walks out. Suddenly, Angelina appears in the window sill, and Sayori is happy to see her again, but this happiness quickly turns to fear when Angelina starts climbing down the wall like a spider. Sayori tries to escape, but realizes the door somehow got locked, and begins to bang on it while yelling for help. Her screams are heard by the others, and Monika races towards the bathroom with Yuri following behind her. As Monika tries to get the door open, Angelina comes flying out, her eyes turning red as spider-like tentacles protrude from her back. The Dokis then run away and hide in the closet, when they suddenly hear the doorbell ring. Yuri is then forced by the others to go answer the door, but as she walks down the stairs, she hears the sound of something shattering, and quickly runs back up. Meanwhile, Natsuki encourages Monika and Sayori to fight back against Angelina, believing that they can easily overpower a doll. With this newfound courage, the three of them arm themselves with various items to use as weapons. Once they exit the closet, they find Yuri running down the hall, who warns them that Angelina is close by. Angelina then appears and leaps towards the girls, but Natsuki uses a bat to smash the doll through a window. The Dokis then head outside to make sure the doll is gone, and to their horror, find Angelina still in one piece. Deciding that she's had enough, Monika puts the doll in a bag before tossing it into a river.

Two weeks go by, and Monika can be seen reading a book, when her mom enters the house and greets her. Mrs. Kobayashi explains that she arrived home late due to main road being closed down, and then remembers that she purchased something from an antique store, and is certain that her daughter will love it. To Monika's horror, this something turns out to be Angelina, smiling menacingly as she is reunited with her disposer.
