he actually likes it when girls lie there like a dead fish

[Yin's voice comes on shortly after the text is sent. There might be a tinge of uncertainty, but otherwise she sounds unfazed.]

That's what it's like. [Yes, she hadn't been directly affected by a curse yet. And that's about all she has to say on the matter.]

[For action she can be found at the Welcome Center, where she now works, or out and about shopping for food, buying more canned cat food than human food. Or at the apartment she shares with Mao, for Mao or Hei.]

[Mao hears Yin's voice and cracks an eye open.]

Hm?

My device acted on its own.

[She shows him the bizarre text.]

[Mao reads the screen and huffs with amusement.]

The City has a raunchy sense of humor.

[Now she's a bit confused.]

Raunchy? [With fish? How....]

[Of course. What would a Doll know about sex?]

It's referring to sex. Some men prefer it when the women don't move.

[Why, Mao never understood. Might as well fuck a fleshlight.]

[Oh, she kind of knows it exists, like some children are vaguely aware there is a whole world beyond their backyard. And there are groups that sell Dolls, and she knows of that.]

Is that why they sell Dolls? [Otherwise, there's never been any defined purpose for those sells, and they are kept very quiet.]

It's one of the reasons. There's a big market for pliable women who won't complain.

[She's learning a lot from Mao, today, at least.]

Won't complain.... [Of course, Yin wouldn't. She wasn't programmed to, and didn't care to from the start. She just gives a nod, though it only means she heard him. She isn't so sure she understands.]

[That's what he's here for. A walking talking Wikipedia.]

Men are dogs.

[Matter of fact. That is the extent of Mao's ability to care. Hei will probably see this post and assume the worst. It'll be amusing if he drops by to check on the Doll. If not...whatever. Mao closes his eyes and goes back to dozing.]

[But they're people.... And, well, Mao is kind of a cat.]

[When Mao is curled up asleep once more, Yin just pets him, absorbed in thought.]

...Who?

[ It's a curse. He knows it's a curse. But that isn't blanket curiosity in his voice. ]

[She shakes her head. She doesn't know.]

It's just the curse.

[ No harm in checking. ]

Leave it to the City to crack jokes on closet necrophiliacs.

[She would appreciate his concern, if she could.]

It's a joke? [It's raunchy, and it's a joke. She still doesn't get it.]

[ How does one explain humor to a Doll? ]

It's in poor taste.

Then again, what's funny to one person leaves no impact on another.

[Nod - she's one of those people left without an impact.]

Mao said it was raunchy. [A word she knows the meaning of, but not the importance of.]

[ Dryly, ]

Mao's spent years in a cat's body.

He'd find anything raunchy. [ Just sayin'. ]

[Using Mao finds everything raunchy just explains all of it. ~~Not really, but for Yin, it does.~~ She gives Hei a nod.]

Cursed, yes?

[Because that's a little disturbing if not even to someone like nem.]

Yes. [She doesn't even understand it.]

You too? [She thought she saw a text out there from Hatter earlier.]

Good.

[Ne doesn't mind explaining or that someone so young might act on such things, but there is the point of free will and choice. The girl doesn't seem capable.]

More or less.

[Ne didn't send the text on purpose, but ne wasn't going to deny the truth of it.]

[Yin doesn't understand the text enough to understand why it would be bad for it to be true. So, yes, incapable of going along in something like that without freewill.]

[On the other hand, that same apathy keeps her from caring if Hatter's was true or not.]

Some seem upset. [She's noting Hatter doesn't seem to be very concerned, though.]

Some do not like sharing things they see as being private. For others the messages are not true, but that does not mean they are not embarrassing.

If more did not care those in charge would be less likely to do such things.

[A nod. But what are they going to do about Yin, then?]

There are some that don't.

[She may not react, but someone else seems to...]

No. Some do not care as if these are nothing more than the petty annoyances they are.

[The ones in charge might enjoy that, or might get a kick out of seeing what might eventually make Yin crack.]

[Yin doesn't even find it a petty annoyance. She does nod, though.]

Is that what it is for you?

[So very true, or see just how long it takes for that someone else to completely lose it.]

This one? No. It is less than that.

[Yin wouldn't like that very much.]

[So, Hatter feels a bit more like Yin does about the whole thing. Interesting. There's just a stare, now.]

[The deities don't seem to care much what anyone likes.

Well, isn't that interesting and familiar? The sitting, staring, and quiet...very familiar now. Hmm...]

[Then Yin will likely learn all about that, eventually.]

[It doesn't occur to her it might be familiar, or that might be an issue if July and Yin seem to be similar. So she just stares. Hatter can end the conversation when ever ne wants to.]

...

Forgive me for intruding, but that's what what is like?

[That subdued reaction makes him question whether or not that text was her own doing.]

Being cursed.

[That's just how she always is.]

[Her answer piques his interest:]

Then, are you suffering from a different curse, Madame? I was under the impression that the strange text messages are all we have to deal with, this time around.

The text messages. This is my first time.

I see.

[How fortunate for her that her first curse is so light.]

What lies ahead is yet unknown, but if previous trends are any clue, what follows will not be this kind. Do not let down your guard.

[It would take a lot more for the curses to even begin to bother her. But her future will likely test that.]

[She nods to the warning. Never let her guard down.]
