[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

POLKA DOT: Yeah…
POLKA DOT: I dunno if I could get away with something like that every day, but…catches the eye for sure.
POLKA DOT: I really like the holes in the fabric…
VINE: You can get a lot of stuff like that, yeah.
VINE: A few of the people who stop by here to help out have…what are they called again?
VINE: Keyhole sweaters, or something. Just a hole on the chest.
VINE: A lot more suitable for just wearing around.
 

The model gives a flashy pose before returning back stage, the crowd clapping (including yourself and Vine, of course) as they vanish behind the curtain. Another model steps out- this one some kind of electronic pet toy, a little character displayed on the screen on their face. This one does admittedly make you feel a little bit flustered- their entire outfit is made up solely of thick, silky ribbons with a striped pattern, banded across their body and adorned with gift wrap-like bows. 

HOST: Want to be the present for your partner for the holidays? Look no further!
HOST: While you can’t get away with this one on the street, it’s a look that can’t be beat when it comes for silly yet sexy statements!
 

All you can do is nod in appreciation, and can’t get the thought of “what if it was black, or purple, though” out of your head. Vine seems to catch onto your distraction and laughs a little, giving you a playful elbow. 

VINE: Makes sense that you’d think that one’s cool- you’re Silk Ribbon after all, right?
POLKA DOT: Yeah…
 

You can’t keep your eyes off this one, but you can’t just leave it awkward like that. With your gaze still set on the stage, you try to keep the conversation going. 

POLKA DOT: The party thing’s kind of interesting…
POLKA DOT: Do people wear stuff like this to them?
POLKA DOT: What do they wear to them?
VINE: Never been to one, but I tried out cleaning duty early on after some casual playroom meetups. 
VINE: Sometimes there were stragglers that’d hang out in the halls, and they seemed like they had a good time. 
VINE: So…can’t help you too much on that one, since it’s not my scene.
VINE: Aside from some people unused to how we do things here, people seem to behave and enjoy themselves.
