Date Night! (Wind-Up Toy TF A)
I'm standing here, fidgeting, and she's just there, that plastic charm of hers making my heart race. "Hey," I mumble, trying to act casual. She tilts her plastic head, those painted-on eyes staring right at me. "Well, hello there. What's got you all flustered?" I'm not sure if it's the way her plastic hair perfectly falls into place or the fact that she's, well, a living wind-up toy, but my cheeks are burning. "I, uh, just wanted to talk." She giggles, a mechanical sound that somehow makes my heart skip a beat. "Talking's fun. Go on, spill it." I glance at the plastic dress she's sporting, a vibrant red that complements her glossy exterior. "Your outfit, it's... cute." She twirls, her limbs moving with the precision of a well-wound clock. "Thanks, honey. Plastic fashion is my thing." I'm not sure if it's the absurdity of the situation or the fact that she's making it work, but I can't help but smile. "You're different, you know? I like that." Her plastic eyes sparkle, and she playfully nudges me. "Different's my middle name, babe." As we talk, she occasionally winds herself up, her movements becoming more animated. It's like watching a living doll, and I'm oddly enamored. "You ever think about dating a wind-up toy?" she teases. My cheeks flush again. "Well, maybe." She chuckles, winding a key on her side. "I bet you'd love having a toy for a girlfriend. Just admit it." And you know what? I do. There's something fascinating about the idea. "Maybe I would." She grins, twirling her plastic hair. "I knew it. I'm your dream come true." But then, as our conversation continues, I notice her slowing down. It's subtle, but she's winding down. "Hold on, let me fix that," I say, reaching to wind her up again. She freezes as I turn the key, her plastic limbs suddenly lifeless. It's strange how her vibrant presence turns into stillness. But then, with a click, she's back, moving like clockwork. "Thanks, babe. I hate it when I run out of juice," she says with a wink. I can't resist poking her plastic arm. "You're so... weirdly amazing." Her laughter rings out, a mechanical melody. "That's why you love me, right?" And in that odd, plastic world, where her exterior is smooth and cool to the touch, I find myself nodding. Maybe having a living wind-up toy for a girlfriend isn't so crazy after all.
(Various M and F to Pokemon Mass TF) There was no reason behind it. It was a virus that spread from sound alone, infectious cries doing the impossible: turning people into Pokemon. Just a single cry was enough to doom a person to a life in a new body, with a new mind—and the city was so very full of such cries. A Salazzle smirked, pressing Mike against a wall. He’d seen this happen to each of his friends, one at a time. She’d, disgustingly, had her Shrubbish companion plug their ears with something that was hopefully far more sterile than it smelled. Then, one by one, she’d removed the plugs, hissing into their ears and reveling as they changed into Pokemon. Then she’d let them scurry away, not a human thought left in their heads. Would it hurt when it happened to him? Would it be terrifying? Mike had imagined so, had pictured her cool reptilian skin pressing against his and quavering at the taunting look in her eyes. He wasn’t ready for how warm she was, or how smooth her skin
