[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

You lower your eyelids and waggle your brow, getting a beeping giggle out of Cross immediately.

POLKA DOT: Not long enough.
CROSSBONE: You’re too silly.
POLKA DOT: I mean it. I could look all day.
CROSSBONE: You’re just flattering me…
POLKA DOT: No, I mean it-
 

You notice that her posture seems to hunch over, just enough to be noticed.

POLKA DOT: …you okay?
CROSSBONE: Just…a lot on my mind.
CROSSBONE: You know how it is.
 

Must be about the adventure…
…I can’t say I know how wanting to be a giant monster is, but…

POLKA DOT: You wanna talk about it?
 

Cross shakes her head, gesturing to the mess of fabric surrounding her.

CROSSBONE: I can’t afford to take breaks.
CROSSBONE: We’ve got a whole party’s worth of outfits to make and I’ve only gotten Tim’s halfway done.
POLKA DOT: Halfway? Didn’t you just start today?
CROSSBONE: I work fast, I guess….
CROSSBONE: Tim tossed me a thrifted coat to work with before heading off to work this morning, said that he’s had it for a while now.
CROSSBONE: I’ve been lining that to make it more durable for harsh weather- it was plenty warm, but we might be dealing with proper blizzards out there.
CROSSBONE: Going to be making him a snowsuit to wear underneath…
CROSSBONE: Devo also sent me his requests, and those I’m going to need to do research for.
CROSSBONE: Going to try and do some braces for his arms, legs and core. Stuff that holds stuffing and pellets more in place…
CROSSBONE: …I think I can do it. I know I can.
