[TOY] Plaything

[skinstealer]

You try looking down the lines of buildings. The signs feel...oddly blurry the further you look, with farther away stores and housing's details melting away until you get closer. It takes practically being next to a place to fully make it out, so you keep walking. You're looking for...a library, or a hospital, or something like that, according to your mind. Somewhere where people have resources.

Either that, or somewhere abandoned. That'd work too, somewhere you could scavenge something up. 

You're slowly becoming more and more aware of how cold it is as you walk, and you realize that you're hungry as well...you're not all that tired, but a sense of panic starts to settle in as you realize you might be in real trouble out here on your own, not even knowing where you are or how to take care of yourself. You get a glare from a doll passing by and feel sick, not knowing what you're even doing to provoke their ire. 

You slow down as you reach a red building with glowing lights, curtains hung over the windows and the sound of laughter coming from within. The place practically radiates warmth, and you can't help but feel...enticed. It doesn't look like any kind of public service building, and frankly, you can't really tell what it is.

There's a sign on the door, though.

"cold outside? come on in...
find some arms to hold you, or just something to fill your belly
income or work-based payments available"

You glance back up at the sign above the door, the neon lights beckoning you in.

"LAURIE'S PLACE"
