Hesvar #160 - Did I Know?

Everyone tries to help Ayr in the immediate aftermath of her surprise poisoning.

=======================================================================

I'm trying a new format for my stories that I rather enjoy. It's a comic system where the speech bubbles appear progressively on the photos to follow the action and conversation. You can even select the bubble color scheme and font size. (And text type in speed if you prefer.)

Of course such an experience requires a script so it won't work here on the forum. So click on the photo above or the link below for the new story in the new format.

If you find yourself hating the new format the traditional experience is still available here.

Amazing the difference resin quality makes in yellowing. Look at poor Lucius's body, by resin soul, in these photos. Two years ago he was paper white. Now compare that to his ears, by Dear Mine, in the photo from behind. They're still so much more white and they're actually older than the body. His feet, also from Dear Mine, which I intentionally did not photograph are even older and being right next to the body it really stands out the difference in how white they are compared to the body.

 

I've noticed Dear Mine pure white is pretty resilient. Sure you can see some yellowing over the years but it's still recognizable as white. The resinsoul hands and body, not so much. And the body has been fully clothed the whole time so it's not light exposure as it still matches the hands that were out in the light.

This is her first hint of remembering something about herself. Whether there's more or not we'll have to see. Ayr seems pretty popular with the readers. (Oddly she was in my last story too even though a completely different character. I must have styled her well.)

Volks DD Sakuya, the non-crimson whatever version. She was a limited release like most of their character dolls. The crimson version was a rerelease with a different fullset and slightly different make up. Unless they do a third release she's only available secondhand.

You're welcome. I'm a little sad so many choose it over the comic version as it just seems to lifeless to me know, but I understand familiarity has a strong pull. The app is much better now if you only tried early versions.

Well no one but Sam forced her to ignore her misgivings. Ayr and Star were both quite clear she didn't have to participate. Assuming Ayr survives with no lasting consequences I'd say they'll all be happy they learned this now in a relatively safe situation.

Yeah I know yellowing is a fact of life, and knew it would be especially apparent on pure white. Kind of sad that this one body is so bad though compared to dolls made years before.

I'm glad you like my characters. No problem to me if my choice of aesthetic isn't yours. I'm sure everyone has dolls that are absolutely not for them, and even more that are hey that's cool but I don't want to own it.

 

No doubt Sam feels awful. Even Kano tried to reassure her with as you mentioned his dream girl unconscious on the floor. And yes, he's cool under pressure. We've seen that before in the various fights he's been in.

As to Lucius he's no doubt made progress, but I think it also matters that in this situation there is no expectation that those boxers are coming off. No dangerous next step. Plus he has a strong distraction with his friend's dream girl possibly dying.

Sam has exactly the same faceup she came from the factory with.

 

Yep, now she knows why she felt it was such a bad idea. I agree Ayr will take this well if she recovers. Ayr seems a fairly positive person in general. A good match for Kano.

He hasn't had the best experiences with women it seems. It would fit his track record if something else was poisonous. Poor guy. At least he wouldn't have to worry anymore though right?

I don't know what you're seeing. Maybe her wig is back a bit?

 

Nothing else was actually poisonous, I'm just saying he's been hurt by women in the past, thinks he's finally found one he can trust, then she turns out to have poisonous bodily fluids. At least we know her saliva is fine.

Unless the faceup gnomes are breaking into my house again I think it's you or the angle. :P

 

Too bad all the shippers are gone. How would they have felt about all of this?

 

They've at least gone silent. Probably gone. It was a long break.

You mean because no one could help her?

 

Yep that's a drawback to being poisonous. Good for defense, but no so good for allies.

 

Maybe. They have to work in the limits of the technology available to them though. Like I said rubber gloves would be great, but clearly they don't have them.

 

Well she does have a different skeletal structure, so that's probably not nanites. Now whether she's all natural or engineered is I guess an open question.

Thanks on the posing.
