[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

You have to think for a moment, weighing the options for both. For some reason, this all feels pretty familiar…

POLKA DOT: For plush…ripping, tearing, staining…
POLKA DOT: Mold if you get wet and don’t get help for it.
POLKA DOT: Seams are the weakest point.
CINDI: Good. And what about you?
 

You know this immediately.

POLKA DOT: Piercing.
CINDI: You sound confident in that answer!
POLKA DOT: …I am.
CINDI: Strange, seeing as I don’t see any holes on you.
 

They step away from the wall, walking around you to look you over.

CINDI: You hiding any injuries under the outfit?
POLKA DOT: Nope.
CINDI: You injure another duck?
POLKA DOT: …nope.
CINDI: Less confidence there, duck.
CINDI: Well, here’s a quick side lesson.
CINDI: People say that injuries in the Toy Store or whatever the fuck don’t always sustain on your first time getting out. Depends on how “the narrative” feels.
CINDI: If you’re so confident about that answer, and you choose to believe in those silly stories…
 

They hunch over to look you more directly in the eye.

CINDI: Chances are you got gored, duck.
 

You really, really don’t want to think about that.

CINDI: But that’s just stories, right?
CINDI: More likely than not, you’ve just got a good imagination.
CINDI: So don’t worry about it too hard!
CINDI: Get that grim look off your face. 
 

They pull back with a toss of their head.

CINDI: You got weaknesses down enough for an intro lesson, at least. 
CINDI: What about strengths of either?
