[TOY] Plaything

POLKA DOT: You got a date, dude.
POLKA DOT: Hard to do any better than that. 
POLKA DOT: Looks like the two of you really get along, and he likes your suit!
POLKA DOT: …what is a munch, anyway?
TIMOTHY: Oh!
TIMOTHY: Well, they vary. The usual definition is just…a get together, usually with snacks, for people to gather and talk about kink stuff and arrange events.
TIMOTHY: There’s a couple of groups in the city outside of Laurie’s that do stuff, but, yknow, here’s safer…
TIMOTHY: The one I’m going to allows for fancy dress-up because it’s not in a public space, and some demonstrations of gear and techniques are gonna happen…
TIMOTHY: More in an educational way than for anyone’s gratification, but some light cuddling and teasing is allowed aside from that…
TIMOTHY: …I’m not going to try and get my hopes up for things going that route with Devo, but even just going and trying to see if he likes this stuff is going to be nice.
TIMOTHY: He’s been here in the city for a few months, but only at Laurie’s for one, so he’s trying to branch out and experiment a little.
TIMOTHY: I think he’s nervous, but…so am I, considering I barely know this stuff myself!
TIMOTHY: So…learning experience for us both!
 

His tail is wagging again as he explains, and you can’t help but smile to see your new friend so happy.

TIMOTHY: Oh! We should find Vine and check out before we have to leave!
POLKA DOT: Yeah, sounds like a plan…I hope she’s okay with me going a little over.
TIMOTHY: She said so, right? I’m sure it’ll go fine!
 

It takes a bit to find Vine, but luckily, she’s at the end of the check out line. 

VINE: Hey, you two.
VINE: Get everything you need?
TIMOTHY: Yeah!
POLKA DOT: Yeah, think so.
VINE: How much did it all cost, Ribbon?
POLKA DOT: 26 bucks.
VINE: Easy enough…nice and in budget.
VINE: Here.
 

She reaches into her embroidered purse and pulls out some bills, rifling through them to make sure the right amount’s there.

VINE: Should be set. 
POLKA DOT: Thanks, Vine!
 

The line moves slowly, but you get a peek at Vine’s haul as she starts to pay. All stuff with hand-done embroidery and patches…

POLKA DOT: Huh. Those are nice.
VINE: Thanks. I worry it makes me look old fashioned sometimes, but maybe that’s not a bad thing.
VINE: …I have been told I “dress like a grandma”, though.
POLKA DOT: …Cindi?
VINE: Mmmhm.
VINE: But, I don’t take it badly. After looking the word up, it doesn’t seem like the worst thing to be.
VINE: …still not fond of being parental in any sense, but grandmothers seem like they’ve got kind but stern energies. I can work with that.
 

She hands over the money and her clothes are bagged, and then it’s your turn. You try not to feel nervous as you hand over your two piece outfit, but the cashier doesn’t even bat an eye. A little thrill of excitement goes through you as you take your bag and join Vine on the side, Tim scooting forward to pay for his pile.

VINE: …couldn’t help but notice you talking to Roulette.
VINE: Everything okay there?
