[M] The Mannequin's Deal IC

[Sketch]

[M] Rating for blood, violence, swearing, sexual scenes/suggestions, drugs, adult humor...and the like.

A lone figure sits in a seamless white room. No doors, no windows, nothing to even separate floor from walls. The white is painfully bright, but the figure just sits there…or he could be standing oddly, it’s impossible to tell, a voice echoes, “What would you say if I told you I could make you live forever in a perfect world? Hm? You probably think I’m crazy…that I’m not right in the head or something.” the figure’s head rolls to one side, his face being blank except for a smile, “But say you did believe me…what would you do for it? What if I told you all you had to do was give your name? Would you do it?” The boy stands, or does he sit, the blank face becoming a skull, “You think there’s a catch don’t you…No there’s no catch, just give me your name first, middle, last name, and I’ll take you to a world of pure perfection. So…Will you join me?” He holds out his hand his entire body becoming a simple mannequin with a painted smile.

That white room, that odd Mannequin person, it was so sudden but I still listened…I gave him my name…and he took me out of the room, and into the perfect world. Somewhere along the trip he let go and I never saw him again. I love this world; it really is a perfect world, no violence, no hate, no war, no poverty, nothing bad ever happens, everyone is nice to each other and anything is possible. It’s a total paradise, I’m not the only one here; new people come here every day, all of them brought here by the same deal I had been offered by the Mannequin boy. I really love it here…But things are starting to get kind of weird. Lately odd things have been happening, people are disappearing for a while and come back as if there never left, sometimes places just vanish too the same way, last week I couldn’t say the word Photo, and since yesterday…no one knows who they are anymore, no one remembers their name.

What did the Mannequin’s Deal do to us?

Tia yawns as she works with some dough in the bakery before turning a nearby roller into something flat to move it into the oven. She was tired, her apartment came back two days ago and she spent most of her time cleaning it up because it came back a total mess. She falls asleep leaning next to the oven as she waits for the bread she was making to finish. A short ring makes her bolt upright, a bell was rung, she was needed up front, quickly checking on the bread and taking it out because it was done, and she wipes her hands on her apron and exits the kitchen into the shop front of the Bakery. Another worker at the bakery heads her off, “I’ll take care of things here just get some rest at home okay?” Too tired to argue Tia shrugs undoing her apron and hanging it before clocking out her timecard and exiting the building.

“Need to clean up…wish it wasn’t such a mess…” she rubs her eyes as she enters a park that she cut through as a shortcut between her home and her work. She sits down on a bench not wanting to get home and clean and just looks out at the peaceful area.

Emily layed back in the feild. She had been dozing off while she was sketching. She sat upright and streched yawning, she looked at her surroundings. It was a beautifull day today, the sun was shi ning the birds cherpping, this really was the perfect world.
She pulled out a pencial from her bag as she began to sketch a dragon. After a few minutes she stood and grabbed her bag placing her belongings in it as she made her way down a hill, through a forest and to a River. She sat down at the edge and smiled as she saw tiny fish lurking around. It was peacfull in the forest, espically this time of day.

And as the couple walk down the darkened beach, they embrace, their love binding them together,forever. Soul read the last line of his latest work, making sure it sounded just right. He placed the notebook down, and moved his chair to his computer. He added the final line, and pressed print.
Standing, he smooths out his black suit, adjusts his tie, and walks out the door to his porch. His house had finally reapeared after three days, and as this world would have it, it was perfectly fine.
"Wonder if that bakery is still open." He began walking in the direction of the town, deciding to walk instead of shadow travel. The day was beautiful, not unlike any other day in this world. Except for the past few days. They had been particularly gloomy. Even when it rained here, it was still upbeat and happy.
Checking his wallet for the proper amount of money to get a loaf of bread, he checks his surroundings for any inspiration for a new novel.
"Nothing. Strange."

Eri stretched, yawning stiffly then dropped her pencil on top of her desk. This character layout is taking too long, she thought. She scooted her chair back the stood pushing her glasses up to the bridge of her nose. She pushed the chair back under the steps then headed downstairs where her business took place. The store was on the first floor, her living room and other rooms on the second floor, and her bedroom and such on the third floor. it was all put together quite nicely.

Being a professional mangaka and selling lingerie was harder than it seemed. Sometimes the material she ordered didn`t ship in time. But today was a good day, much like any other day. She stood behind the register and fiddled with her hair. Just then, customers came in holding hands and smiling up at one another, basking in each others company. Eri smiled grimly wishing she had what they had, but she shook the thought then put on her alluring smile. "Welcome! How may I be of assistance today?"

Elasa yawned as he stumbled out of bed. His room was quite neat and had all kinds of knicknaks and what not, the walls were sky blue and there floor was snow white. He opened up his closet and grabbed his work cloths, a simble black vest with a long white shirt with a red tie, some black jeans and some convers, also black. He staggered into the bathroom as he grabbed the toothbrush and brushed his teeth. After he was done he hopped into the shower, when he got out he brushed his hair than put on his clothes and glasses and headed downstairs.

He quickly grabbed a creamcheese bagle he prepared yesterday and some coffee he made and ran out. When he got to his shop he unlocked and and switched the sign closed to open. He sat at the desk and read a small book about grass as he waited for customers. His shop was called "Parler sans mots" Book store (it means speak without words in french :3)

Evelyn Carter didn't even remember the time she entered this seemingly perfect world anymore. Such thoughts didn't occupy her mind; disappointment and anger erased the trash that took up space. Perfect world? Blasphemy. Her dream job - the job she already had, a CSI - was crushed with just one foolish nod of the head. This world is without crime making her job, which is to exterminate it, non-existing. How can you destroy something that simply doesn't exist?

She sighed as the feather quill in her hand fell on the table silently. She leaned back in her seat, stretching. "Drawing isn't as filling as being a cop." Evelyn's eyes glanced across her several pencil drawings. They were sketchily messy, in a good way. Though the drawings didn't look too pleasant with their dark themes. "Good enough." Evelyn shuffled all the sheets into a pile, and stuffed them into a folder. The click-clack of her heeled shoes rang in the empty room as she stepped out of it and entered the scene of the great blue sky and rays of gorgeous sun.

Kevin laid againt a tree looking at a perfect sky. Sitting in a perfect field, with a perfect tree trunk at his back, and a perfect town not to far off. He began to grow hungery, and he grabbed a batch of dirt. He pulled a worm from it then swallowed it. He may be able to eat anything, but he never got used to the idea of eating creepy crawlies. The clouds were in all the perfect spots, he could see the sky but just enough of the sun was covered not to bother him. Good lord, this place is perfect. But in the end, nothing lasts forever. This is gunna bite us all in the hind quarters before long. I wish I could remember my real name... He looked back at the clouds and then around the field. It may be perfect, but it is so freaking boring.

(Cannnt let it die!!)
Elasa was practically asleep at his desk, work was slow today now that people rather check facebook than read. He yawned. He looked at his watch, it was his break, he got up and put another sign on the door, "Break, be back in a min!"

He went over to a small cream colored couch that was in the back and put a book over his face. He took a small nap.

[SoulReaper]

Walking into the bakery, Soul calls out.
"Hello? Is anyone home? I wish to buy bread and such."

[Sketch]

"Sorry, give me a moment!" there was the sound of flame cooling off and a tired man comes up to Soul, "Just sent one of my workers off because she was falling asleep..." he smiles regardless, "Fresh Bread?" He points to several he had just put into the display case.

Tia leans back, tilting her head up to look at the patterned sky, "Never rains unless it has too, no lightning storms..." she tilts her head further back, and sees a boy leaning against a tree right near her, "Oh sorry...Didn't know you where there..." she yawns, tiredness really starting to set in.
