You know what. Not the weirdest thing I've heard. Get your clothes on, we're going shopping.

[

]

[ dottore laughs. ] Hahahehe, fantastic. I'll go do just that. [ he turns and goes back to his room, changing into an actual outfit and picking out another mask. ] I even have some names picked out for them already.

[Follows suit, changing into something else for going outside the dorm before casting a quick, color change spell on his hair]

Oh? What're their names? Also, make sure they're house trained. They better not touch my stuff.

I hope to find four to start. I don't want to get... overly ambitious. Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo.

I expect they'll come house trained, but, hm, as for your stuff... I'm appointing you uncle. I hope you'll teach them what boundaries are.

[Opening the door and heading out, demeanor shifting]

Of course! I'm great at boundaries. As their uncle, I'll do my best to teach them everything I know!

I'll do my best to keep them out of your things though, but it doesn't hurt to get them familiar with boundaries. Hm... I'm going to need a spot for them... Do we have any empty rooms?

We do. Our team isn't full at the moment, you see... You could also get an upgrade for a workshop a some point.

I plan to. I just need the points. But for now I suppose I'll just have to commandeer one of the spare rooms.

Ah, but first we must get our hands on the assistants themselves!

Yes yes. I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

Onward! To our promised adventure!

[ TO THE MALL. ]

You'll help me pick out the best ones, yes?

Of course. As your guide, I’ll do my very best to not steer you wrong. Ah, I can show you some other important locations along the way too!

I would appreciate that. [ he takes out his phone, so he can mark whatever locations I tells him about. ] How long have you been here?

[ going to dip into a clothing store, not for the clothes, but to start assessing the mannequins. ]

[Dragging some from the back of the store that are a slightly different model, but he can still be heard from between the clothing racks and displays]

Me? A little over two months now, I suppose. Time certainly flies.

[ finds one that he thinks he likes and starts stripping it, since he knows he won't be able to leave with the clothes and he's poor. just throws them on the floor, because what is giving a fuck. drags it to the back. ]

Does it really, or are you just saying that?

It’s a very short amount of time to someone like me.

Would you like me to send that back to Alcheme?

Please. [ going to set it down in front of himself. ]

Am I ever going to get an explanation of what you are?

That's a boring story. And "what"? I could be just a perfectly normal person, you know. Afterall, I said "someone" not "something". Maybe my personality is just that way.

[Drops his cape over the mannequin, sending it back to Alcheme]

...of course. [ he drops it right there, because they're in public, but all of the stuff he's been saying has him wondering just what the heck I is. ] Alright, that's one. Now to find three more.

What makes one better than the others? I must sadly admit I might not have a discerning eye for mannequins!

A good mannequin is one that can be modified. A few of these just don't look like they can take the modifications I have planned for them without... breaking. Weak joints. Small limbs. I need sturdy mannequins. For the time being all I'll be doing is bringing them to life, but eventually I plan to outfit them with so much more!

Don't be too rough with your dolls or no one will want to play with you.

Hahahehehoho. I'll be rough with my fellow idols instead. I'll let you pick the next of my new little assistants.

Such responsibility… Very well, to the next shop then!
