[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

You decide to focus on the show for now…you have a lot to take in, and while you’re really curious about the modeling gigs, that could wait until tomorrow. 

You hear the next model before you see them, a loud but pleasant jingling signaling their arrival onto the stage- this one’s some kind of stuffed deer, and something about the harness on their chest, absolutely covered with jingle bells and metal rings, feels…fitting, somehow. They’re wearing some kind of full cover hood…mask…thing on their face, even covering their eyes. It’s a little silly due to the large, red nose on the tip of their muzzle, but they’re actually…pulling it off, somehow. They seem confident, striking poses as the host commentates.

HOST: You all know them and love them- it’s Kristie! 
HOST: Sporting one of our signature hoods with a little holiday twist, as well as a harness that can’t be ignored- for those who like that extra themed goodness, this is perfect for you!
HOST: Please note that the harness, like all of our BDSM oriented gear, can be used with many of our bondage accessories with ease!
 

More of that bondage and BDSM stuff, huh…you like the strappy look, but you’re not sure how a harness ties into stuff- wait, what about the whole “restraint” things? Maybe that?

The next model is pretty tame considering what you’ve seen so far, a large, bulky dinosaur plush with patchwork fabric skin. He’s wearing only shorts and a collar- the former extremely short and covered in glitter, the latter adorned with a trio of ornament-like charms. It’s simple, but you still like it a lot…passable as regular wear, maybe?

HOST: A simple look that still catches the eye…
HOST: For those who want to spread cheer without going overboard, this’ll still make you a hit at any club!
HOST: Perfect for dancing and showing off, don’t you think?
 

The glitter’s a little much for you, not your style…but it’s a cute look for sure.

Then, the next model comes out, and you’re pretty sure your beak falls open a little. 

She’s another virtual pet but of a different model, the character on her screen looking like a little ghost and her shell painted with skulls. Even with the spooky appearance, the festivity is still there- in the form of a black bodysuit made of mesh, accented by white, snowflake-like lace. It’s like your top but so much more, and…there’s something about the vpet that draws you to her a bit, not sure where to look first.

Vine snickers a bit again, not out of malice or mockery. 

VINE: That’s Willow.
VINE: She’s a regular model around here, comes around for playroom stuff too.
VINE: Generally pays with laundry and errands for other staff members…been working here since she was a newbie too.
POLKA DOT: Uh…huh.
 

You don’t look away until she’s off of the stage, her keychain tail clattering as she turns to leave with a slight spin. 

Anything the host said is totally lost on you.

You try to focus before the next one comes on stage. Get it together. For fuck’s sake. 

This one’s a large, powerful looking horse plush, and at first, you can’t tell what’s supposed to be “sexy” about the dress it has on- it’s layers of green ruffled fabric and tinsel, looking like a decorated tree. You’re pretty lost…until it cheekily raises one of the layers to reveal a cage-like slip underneath.

HOST: A secret surprise for your holiday get together…silly on top, but saucy underneath!
HOST: Pair with lingerie for extra flair!
 

Everyone claps as always, and you feel yourself calming down from the whole…Willow situation. You’re chill.

HOST: Our last model of the night’s up next!
 

He steps out, a robotic dog toy with cuffs on both his wrists, neck and ankles, a leash in his own hand, and some kind of mask over his visor screen, iridescent and sparkling under the light. It takes you a minute to realize that the cuffs and leash are a light, metallic candy stripe, the tones close enough to each other to be subtle as hell. 

HOST: This look keeps your body bare but accessorizes well- with plenty of chances to get tugged around with our signature leashes!
HOST: Just like the harness, you have so many opportunities with other gear from our lineup- we have free catalogs available after the show!
 

The crowd cheers, and as the model heads out, you feel your entire body untense. That was…a ride, but you’re pretty sure you enjoyed the hell out of it. You wanted to see more of this stuff, and you got it.

VINE: So…how was that?
VINE: Wasn’t too much for you?
