Chapter 5 by Tosaphine Tosaphine

Right?...

Oops, I dropped... Something

Of course. Yes. Right... you reaffirm yourself with some sarcasm. But only within specific circumstances. There are rules here.

The rules... You remember something about being polite to the employees. From what you remember, they only mentioned there would be consequences if your tone or words come off as unpleasant. But what about actions?

Can actions be impolite?, you ask yourself. Maybe? But the voice didn't say anything about your actions. Thinking about it from that perspective, it sounds like a loophole, one that's far too good to be true.

If that's the case, you would have free reign over every plastic ass to taunt and tease for the next 24 hours. Seriously, what else could you possibly do? Once the novelty of this place is up, you'll be bored off of your mind.

As long as the sailor inside of you keeps its mouth shut, you're pretty much guaranteed safety. But where's the fun in that?...

...

Adrenaline's building up already. One year spent in danger has turned you into a junkie, and you're about to get your fix.

In the time you spend thinking, the mannequin tilts its head up, as if to look you in the eyes. Its hand keeps firm to its hip, somehow a little tenser. It must've understood the spark in your eyes. The hint of insanity, the disregard for safety and the craving of an animal.

It has to work, you tell yourself repeatedly, building reckless momentum; hoping whoever created this place wouldn't be a petty asshole and nitpick mid-game with new rules.

...

"Oops, I... dropped something..." You slap yourself on the forehead animatedly as you drop to your knees.

In one swift motion, you pick at the empty air then hook the hem of the mannequin's skirt with your thumb.

No reaction... The world's not collapsing... No one's hurting you...

The best outcome possible.

Nevertheless, you still keep your eyes open as much as you can before blinking, afraid the mannequin would cut... whatever it is you're doing, short. Maybe they've got some kind of telepathy going on too and they'll warn each other, going into hiding before you find your second one.

Either way, there's lots you don't know about them, so why not study this one properly?

Study Properly or Broaden your Studies?
