If you could have one wish...?

Looping to save my scroll bar.

[realgirl]

Well, true. Mostly.

[kings_fool]

Mostly?

[realgirl]

It's true if you were born.

[kings_fool]

[He squints at her, face scrunched up]

....what, you were a C-section baby?

[realgirl]

Little more complicated than that.

[kings_fool]

I'm all ears. I know you can't see 'em under the hair, but they're there.

[realgirl]

I used to be a doll.

[kings_fool]

I used to be a guy! Together we're a singular version of a 1950s musical.


[He has absolutely no context by which he can take this statement seriously, as evidenced by the unchanged teasing grin on his face.]

You have not lost all your doll-like qualities, I'd say.

[realgirl]

[Hey, teasing is fun. Joking is fun. People will let you tell them huge secrets when they think you're not serious. So she grins, holding her hands apart to indicate a height of about eighteen inches.] I was even more doll-like then, though. I was this tall, and made of porcelain.

[kings_fool]

[Sage nodding, he's down with the joke.]

You were a kewpie doll! The highly collectible version, or thrift-store special?

[realgirl]

Hand-me-down. Abigail's grandmother had me, and she collected porcelain dolls, but then Abigail wanted me so she gave me to her for her fourth birthday.

I looked really good as a doll, too.

[kings_fool]

Abigail's Abby? Aw, super sweet, they kept it in the family!

[Jeremy is under the impression he is speaking to a cheerful, imaginative teenage girl. Heck, he'll support an artistic imagination, why not.]

[realgirl]

Yeah, they did. And Abigail loved me so much she wished for me to be real, and then I was.

[Well, she is cheerful and imaginative, and she's sort of even a teenage girl. She's just also serious.]

[kings_fool]

This sounds like the script I read once for a trippy D/s lesbian porno

I'm getting Pinnochio vibes. But your nose is stubbornly remaining the same length.

[realgirl]

My story's way better than his, too. Because it has demons in it.

[kings_fool]

*he whistles*

You ever written any of this up? The horror-fantasy shtick stuff sells pretty well right now, I hear. I think I still have a few agent phone numbers in LA written on napkins. Or bathroom walls. Something.

So where'd the demons come in?

[realgirl]

Well I was alive, but I wasn't real. Abigail and I worked hard to make me real, and then Abigail ended up trying to make a deal with a demon and I had to save her, and then the fairies made me real as a reward.

[kings_fool]

These demons weren't by any chance lawyers, were they?

[realgirl]

No, they were the devil's-servants kind of demons.

[kings_fool]

Man, Big D keeps lawyers on retainer. I wouldn't rule it out.

So now it's happily ever after? You and Abby, A Girl and her Doll?



[[off to bed here, jeremy will be annoying more tomorrow!]]

[realgirl]

Well, it was. Not anymore.

[[ooc: Sleep well!]]

[kings_fool]

Aw, man, no happy ever after? You know, if you really wanna pitch this thing, the studio will bitch about the downer ending.

[fearthepackingchips]

OOH OOH I KNOW THIS ONE.

Hot tub. Bea Arthur. Endless tacos.

And an elephant.

[realgirl]

I said one wish, that's four.

[realgirl]

Well, I don't know the ending yet. But Abby grew up and didn't want a doll anymore, so I'm on my own now.
