Creator and her contraption

[Marlo]

A One x One made for Zaryn and Marlo

 

[Marlo]

I built her up out of stitches and cloth. She was built to have no flaws, the perfect creature. I hum a song as I finish the final stitches and sew on her beautiful blue eyes. "Almost, my dear. I will bring you to life". I grab the doll who is now complete and fling her over my shoulder to a table and set her down. On the table is a machine, a helmet with two electrodes connects to a Tesla coil. Your brain begins to shock, sending signals to your heart to pump your blood. I smile wonderfully backing up to have a good look at you "Wakey wakey.." I grin.

 

[Zaryn]

Light. The first thing to cross her mind is Light. For the first time she opens her new blue eyes and focuses on the world around her. Hearing sound, she twitches slightly and turns her head to find the source. It is a struggle at first to move, but it comes to her soon enough, almost as if she is pre-programmed for a delicate flow of movement. She finds herself now in a sitting position, eyes meeting the woman before her. A blank slate, she knows nothing about the world around her. This life is unnatural and new, but somehow the doll is real. Her hands move to her head, feeling the uncomfortable wires attached to her. She knows not what they are for, but they feel wrong to her. She pulls them off casually, throwing them to the side of the table, gaze never leaving the woman before her.

 

[Marlo]

'She's beautiful' she thinks to herself, looking at her creation. She reaches out slowly, not wanting to frighten the doll "I am your creator, I brought you into this world.." she smiles and grabs the dolls hand pulling her off the counter onto her feet. "Can you walk?" She keeps her balanced and helps her walk her first steps along the floor. Her blinking eyes and heart beat make her seem so real...

 

[Zaryn]

She watches the other approach, having no sense of fear. Allowing herself to be moved, the Doll takes a few steps, a bit wobbly at first, but slowly moves in the same steps as her Creator, mimicking her walk. "Walk. I am walk?" She says through a rough voice, throat sounding as if it'd never had water to quench it's dryness. With having no bearings in the world, the Doll would continue it's watch on her Creator.

 

[Marlo]

She smiles brightly "Yes you're walking" She slowly let's go of her creations hand and lets her walk on her own. "Follow me.." She looks back at her creation waving her towards her so she knows what she means. She heads to her bedroom where her Doll will be staying for now until she can furnish a room for her in her small house. "This is where you will sleep, you need sleep so you can function at your full ability so each night you will sleep, understand?"

 

[Zaryn]

The moment she lets go of her hand she freezes in place, unsure if her legs will work without the others guidance. "Follow?" After a moment of hesitation, she begins to walk again, following slowly after and standing completely straight behind her. The Doll looks at her and to then to the bed. A confused look glosses over her features, her head tilting slightly to the side. "Sleep?" Her body felt heavy, a new feeling for the Doll. To be fair, every feeling was completely new to her. Not yet 5 minutes old, her brain was firing everything all at once, trying to slip into a normal rhythm. She could feel her heart pounding away under her skin, but she knew not why it was doing so.

 

[Marlo]

She grabs the Doll's hand and brings her over to the bed and sits her down. "Oh my, my darling you have so much yet to learn.." She says to her creation smiling. She brushes her hair out of her eyes revealing her bright green eyes that weren't very visible before. "Try to grab my hand, wrap your fingers around it and hold it tight" she instructs her Doll hoping it can complete the very basic of tasks.

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll follows obediently, sitting down slowly on the bed. She found she liked the way it felt under her body. After a few moments, the tinest of smiles crept onto her lips. Expressions slowly coming as new experiences ellicited them. She assumed quite a bit. What were fingers? A hand? Taking...taking she knew. Very slowly, as she was clearly unsure, she reached out her hand and placed it on the womans. The Doll looked at her with questioning eyes, hoping she had done what was requested of her.

 

[Marlo]

She smiles at her creation and nods "Very good... Now your fingers" she holds up her other hand and wiggles her fingers around "close them around my hand... " She says wanting to test her capability to grip things. She looks at her Dolls expression as she try's to work out her request, it is very interesting. The Doll seems deep in thought, the woman admires each movement on the Doll's face for she has built this doll as the embodiment of the perfect woman in her eyes.

 

[Zaryn]

Realizing now what fingers were, she nodded her head and slowly gripped the woman's hand. Her smile brightened, knowing now that this was correct and learning new things. Being hollow was hard, but ever little new bit of information began to fill the void. Her blue eyes met the others green ones as she lifted both their hands as if to show her that she could do it. "Very good?" She asked quietly, voice a little less scratch from the beginnings of use.

 

[Marlo]

The Creator let's out a slight giggle and nods "Yes, very good.." She looks down at her Dolls hand and plants a light kiss on it before letting it go. "Now.." she looks around the room and back at her doll. She stands up and grabs both her dolls hands, pulling her up. She thinks to herself that this may be a long stretch but she's going with it. She takes off her top hat and lets down her long jet black hair "Would you like to dance?..." she says smiling at her creation.

 

[Zaryn]

She stands with her creator, watching her intently. As she removes her hat, a gasp passes through her lips. What was short before was now long. Her mind couldn't grasp as to why nor how. The question confuses her, but she takes a step forward toward the other. If there was something new to learn, she would try it. The Doll reaches out her hand to take the creator's and nods once to her. She was ready.

 

[Marlo]

The creator grabs her creations hand and puts her other hand on her hip. She smiles slightly and nods, beginning to lead her into a waltz. She noticed her doll tripping over her own feet and giggles "Just follow my lead.." I look down at our lead walking back and forth and around in circles slowly.

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll tries to mirror her, but realizes that putting her other hand on her woman's hip wouldn't be comfortable, so instead opts to place it on her shoulder. Messing up felt horrible, she felt like a failure. Though the other woman's laughs put her a bit at ease and she concentrated harder on what she was doing. They continued on in circles, she did her best to follow along with the dance.

 

[Marlo]

She still can't get it through her head that she has created life, and it's ability to learn is outstanding "There you go! you're getting it!". The Creator pulls her Doll close and smiles, looking her in the eyes, she then steps away and repeats as they dance in circles. She starts humming the tune she hummed whilst creating her Doll, but in a much happier key this time.

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll continues dancing, now no longer needing the other's guidance. She moves by the timing alone. Her smile brightens at the praise she has been given. "I got it." She mumbles out, her voice a little stronger each time she uses it. It dawns on her that she does not have a name. If fingers are fingers, and hands are hands, what is she? She shakes off this confusion due to the happy song that the woman hums.

 

[Marlo]

As the creator finishes her song, she brings her movement to a slow. She looks into her creation's eyes and leans close, blushing. She shakes her head to herself and backs up "That was... lovely" she puts her top hat back on and bows "I suppose you should get some rest.." She grabs her Doll leading her to the bed and placing her in it. She smiles and backs up "Uhm, just lay there, close your eyes.." she tries to explain to her Doll as she seems quite flustered and nervous.

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll is a little sad to have the dance end. Her gaze keeps with the woman, noticing the flecks of brown in her green eyes. She's so distracted by it she doesn't notice the blush. When the other backs away she nods in agreement. "Yes. That was lovely. Thank you Creator." She gave the woman another smile as she was taken to the bed. "Eyes? What are eyes?" She asks curiously, sitting down on the bed and leaning back a bit, trying to remember what laying down was. She notices the blush then, the disjointed speaking and once she retakes the others hand, the heightened heart rate. "You are...beating very fast. Are you..." She was unsure of the word she meant to say. All she could think of was "feeling normal?"

 

[Marlo]

She grins by the fact her doll recognizes differences in emotion, hoping one day she'll feel emotion. "Well.." she sits beside her doll laying her down on the pillow and sitting at the edge of the bed "When humans have been alone for a very long time, they get lonely and used to being alone... But then when they find someone that has... a certain connection to them they get nervous around them. This is why there heart starts pumping faster because your brain is having a sort of... explosion of emotions" She try's to explain to her doll, slightly hoping she doesn't understand.

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll finds laying on her back uncomfortable, so she turns on her side, listening attentively to her Creator. "Emotions? Are they why I smile when we danced? An explosion?" She wasn't sure what an explosion was but it did sound extreme. She closed her eyes and felt heavy a moment, her eyes opening immediately, slightly worried. "If I stay here...and close my eyes. Will they open again? Or will I go back to the dark place?"

 

[Marlo]

"Yes.. they are the cause of your beautiful smile.." She brush's her Dolls hair out of her face. She shakes her head, caressing her Dolls arm. "Don't worry my sweet, I won't let you return to the dark..". She covers her creation with a blanket and starts over to a lantern across the room. "Alright, close your eyes, good night my creation.."

 

[Zaryn]

The Doll finds she enjoys skin contact, the warmth a stark contrast to the cold she had known before. "Thank you." She does what she is told and hopes that whatever sleep was that it would come soon. She couldn't help but be excited about the prospect of new things. "Good Night." She said clearly, shuffling a bit under the covers to get comfortable. New random thoughts sparking in her newly formed brain every second.

 

[Marlo]

The creator shuffles out of her coat and takes off her hat, generally getting in to more appropriate bed attire. She slides into the bed beside her Doll and has to get pretty close to her Doll. She stretches and takes a deep breath "good night, my Doll" she smiles turning away from her Doll.

 

[Zaryn]

"Good night Creator." She says automatically, curled now into the fetal position beside her. She kept her eyes closed as instructed, hoping that whatever this sleep thing was, that it would come soon. The Doll scooted a bit closer to the other woman, drawn to the warmth of another body. She was hesistant to touch her, deciding that the radiating heat under the covers was enough. Her body relaxing, she found that she was slowly losing consciousness. The Doll hoped that her Creator was correct and would fulfill her promise. She did not want to go back to the cold darkness.
