#6 backdated to monday the 1st

[The video feed clicks on to an extreme closeup of Travis. He looks happy. It’s that raw, primal kind of happy, teeth bared, and the close-up cuts the usual glare from his sunglasses down to nothing. No matter what else happens, he has this. He talks with a sly glee:]

A new inmate rolled in today. You all better be real nice to her, because she’s a special lady.

[Travis leans forward with the commlink abruptly, setting it down in portrait mode. There’s someone just off-frame as the camera jostles clumsily through the set-up, a sliver of her visible on the edge of his lap, her posture lifeless. Jesus Christ, is this a hostage video? When he sits back, there’s a woman in his lap.]

I’d like you all to meet Sylvia!

[“Sylvia” is in her mid-twenties, and she is so petite that his hand on her ribs engulfs much of her waistline. Her figure is thin like a 90s model, her face is Eurasian, and her hair is styled in the kind of pigtails one rarely sees on adult women outside of porn. She might as well be torn from one, given the way she’s dressed: a completely sheer blouse over a black micro bikini, thigh high stockings and a miniskirt that doesn’t cover her matching panties.

She’s also made entirely of foam.

Thank you, commissary.

Travis’s grin only gets wider. He speaks with something like seriousness, even holding this waifish doll on his lap:]


Now, my wife here isn’t used to slumming it, so you all gotta be patient. When she’s a bitch about it, just give her what she wants and she’ll lay off.

[He leans forward to pick up the comm link again, bringing the camera in close to his face once more. One of Sylvia’s stringy blonde pigtails catches on the frame of his sunglasses. He doesn’t notice. He’s joking:]

Seriously. She’ll get you by the short and curlies if you don’t.

I'm fairly sure I should be worried that you felt the need to share this with everyone. If you start doing voices for her, I'm heading in the opposite direction.

Travis, who is that based on? Who is that? Does she know you did this? Is she at least getting royalties?

counterstep: (that's on u pal)

[personal profile] counterstep 2022-03-03 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, i'm real impressed
this is next level stuff

i'm sure she'd be real flattered knowing you miss her this much

wait
you've actually discussed that before with her?
marble's pretty great
but i guess not as portable...

People own their own images! ...I think.

[He has no idea. Also, they're dead and in jail.]

Anyway, great, that clears up every question. I completely comprehend this situation now and I've reached the stage of grief where the dog stops trying to escape the box even with the door open, which is acceptance.

now that i'm thinking about it more
foam does make the most sense
holds its shape
is portable
easy to work with

damn
that's an enterprise waiting to happen

[She begins to type.

...

Deletes.

...

Types.

It's just her fingers swiping across the keyboard, she doesn't know what to say. Should she say anything? What in the ever living fuck.

Deletes.

Let her sleep on this, she'll (maybe) reply in the morning.]

dance practice?

well yes
but those are heavier than foam
still not really that easy to maneuver to my understanding?
it's just pvc joints, and those aren't
why am i explaining this...

look
foam is a pretty good alternative for parts okay

One, it's a masturbatory aid, and I didn't ask to look at that!

Two, women as objects and objects as women ...I don't know, man. I'm not licensed to speak on it. Or maybe I'm obligated to speak on it? Fuck

I don't like calling her a bitch even if she's not here

but I do call people bitches like at least three times a week.

Why is no one else stressed out about gender relations twenty four hours a day

it's SO hard
counterstep: (what is box)

( ... )

please don't tell me that's what you plan on doing with your new foam wife?
counterstep: (can YOU not)

[personal profile] counterstep 2022-03-03 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
i can't tell if you're play acting or
if you really think she can hear text that is being typed
counterstep: (are u mad)

[personal profile] counterstep 2022-03-03 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
doesn't really count as doubt if i'm not aware of it

is she mentally linked to her real self, then?
back on your world


( not that he's buying any of this, but. well, the only way to understand travis' psychosis is to ask questions. )
