Second Smuppet ~ Video

[puppetcrumpet]

[the video opens up to a man wearing the raddest pair of anime shades ever and a baseball cap, as well as a shirt with a popped collar. He's got a grin on his face as he taps on his pillow phone]

So, I have a special treat for all of you. Doll, our fellow displaced person, likes to dress up. And with my genius ideas, has graciously allowed these sessions to be filmed.

[videos start to play of a dancing human sized doll wearing different outfits. Those that know Bro may be surprised that the images are not pornographic in the slightest. In fact, they could be deemed cute. Doll wears various cosplay clothes, including outfits that may look like certain magical girls, male and female school uniforms, martial arts uniforms, and even formal attire]

Any requests?

*don't mind Doll; it's just going to be peeking around Bro's shoulder to see the phone's screen. Looks like it's already excited to see what replies he might get!*

...?

[puppetcrumpet]

You're going to be popular.

[Bro doesn't mind Doll looking over his shoulder. In fact, he'll adjust his hold on the phone so that they both can have a better view of the screen]

[Argo sees a moving puppet wearing all kind of things. He notices that the person inside the video called the puppet, a person.]

A seamster? That's an interesting "partner" you have there.

Oh yeah, maybe you can show me something more regal but not too flashy.

[Maybe it's time for a new set of clothing, only if he finds something interesting, of course.]

[audio]

[puppetcrumpet]

[oh, some one wanted him to make clothes for him? Well, he could do that. He hadn't been a tailor before, but there wasn't a demand for smuppets and he had a ton of those already, so, might as well make clothes]

Male or female? And colors?

[audio]

[sky_explorer]

For me; and if you still haven't got it, I'm a man.

[Of course, some women can have that level of vocal frequency and there is also possibility for the clothes to be gifts, but Argo just likes to make that kind of remarks.]

Any color is fine, as long as they're good enough.

[audio]

[puppetcrumpet]

Could be a crossdresser. [there is a hint of amusement in his voice]

I'll get back to you with some ideas. If they're going to be your size, I'll have to get measurements.

[yeah, this could be fun. He'll just start working on something regal for Doll to wear. Hmm... lace cuffs or no?]

[hollowbutnotempty]

*definitely lace. All the lace! Doll loves the stuff; it's cute and pretty and fluffy and Doll has no idea why anyone wouldn't enjoy having an outfit covered in as much of it as they could get!*

*Clearly, Doll still has much to learn.*

[audio]

[sky_explorer]

Tch...Definitely not, maybe your friends like it, but not me.[His voiced is mixed with a bit of contempt and anger.]

Let's see the design first. I don't want to end up wearing frills and glitters.

And again, if you still haven't got it, I want real men's clothing, not the one decorated with ribbons and stuffs.

[audio]

[puppetcrumpet]

Yeah, yeah, I'll get some designs to you in the next couple of days.

Keep watch on your voicemail. [he'll just send a message to it later when he has some ideas. Regal, but still manly... he almost snorted at the idea of Henry the VIII, codpieces, but no, he had some ideas]

*Doll was right there with Bro, listening to the messages coming in. Not being able to reply verbally, it pulled out its own phone to text with, instead*

tyvm

what is rigal?

[voice]

[sky_explorer]

[Argo replies with audio because it is faster, and he doesn't like writing on communicator.]

Regal means majestic, or kingly. Got it?

[It seems the mannequin has its own communicator.]

........

So, you're a person? Or one of those mysterious thingy?

[text]

[hollowbutnotempty]

o ok

*yup, Doll has its own. But it isn't switching to voice. Argo'd surely be able to figure out why easily enough, if he'd paid close attention to the video compilation of those cosplays: Doll has no mouth. So it's likely that it's functionally mute. (spoilers: it is.)*

y

i think so?

thot i was pupit

but gakupo fixt plastik n finisht n got rid of strings

al betr now only doll not pupit

whast a mistirius thingy?

[audio]

[sky_explorer]

[Technically a puppet without a string is indeed a doll. But that's not what Argo meant. Then again, whatever, this place has too many strange things. Investigating one by one is not Argo's job. He is not The Doctor a researcher, isn’t he?]

Hmm, let’s just say, mysterious thingies are something that are not normal. But forget about that. This place has too many things that aren’t normal, they can be considered normal.

.......

So, what are you called?

[text]

[hollowbutnotempty]

no shados r normul so not mistirius?

*Yes it did just try claiming to be a shadow of some kind.*

my name is Doll

wahts urs?

[audio]

[sky_explorer]

[Shados? Yup, whatever it is, abnormal.]

At least not in my world.

I'm Argo, Argo Petrel. A sky pi.....

Tch...Currently unemployed.

[Even a living doll has a job, though only as a mannequin, it does irritate Argo a bit. Still floating around, trying to find things to do.]

........

Having fun working as mannequin? All of your kind work the same job?

[hollowbutnotempty]

lotsa fun y

Bro has nice clothes!

othr shados u meen?

*Ah, the woes of not understanding hostility yet....*

[genitrix]

I didn't realize yo+u co+uld sew.

[puppetcrumpet]

I make all of my smuppets. And Ive made custom clothes for my other puppets.

[they did not make puppet sized leather thongs]

[genitrix]

I see. So+mething we have in co+mmo+n, then.
...Sewing abilities, no+t puppets.

[puppetcrumpet]

Havent found anyone here yet with my interest in puppets.
Its a shame.
But yeah sewing is something I do.

[genitrix]

What abo+ut yo+ur friend there?
He seems...puppet-like.

[text]

[hollowbutnotempty]

*someone's been reading over Bro's shoulder.*

y

was pupit

puppet

but got fixt

doll now

no more strings! :)

*...and this someone is entirely missing any other potential implications in this convo so far, haha.*

[text]

[genitrix]

Ah, thank yo+u fo+r the clarificatio+n.
I wo+uld hate to+ have misidentified yo+u.

[puppetcrumpet]

Hes a kid.
Just made of plastic.
Like Pinocchio, except not wooden.
Troll title for that should be: Old alien man makes a puppet out of magical wood and wishes for a child so he can be less lonely; a fairy in blue grants the wish and changes the puppet into a wooden boy; hi-jinks ensue as the puppet learns how to be a real boy; the puppet joins a circus, has his nose grow from lying, meets the fairy, goes to a carnival for bad boys, nearly turns into a donkey, and gets swallowed by a whale where he finds the old man again; they escape from the whale and nearly die to make the puppet a real boy.

[and he's going to nurse his fingers now]

[genitrix]

Impressive.
That's almo+st an exact translatio+n.
He did info+rm me o+f the difference himself, tho+ugh.
