"Want the suffering to end, little one......? Join me and the rest of experiments in the Hour of Joy, and your freedom will be granted."
What if Playtime Co. made Uglydolls?
Well for starters, I imagine they would make their debut before the Smiling Critters would. Their sales will be decent, but not as good as Huggy Wuggy. Mainly, because kids find them boring with their blank faces, or don't find their personalities engaging. Eventually, they would get overshadowed by the Smiling Critters due to how ambitious Playtime co is with the franchise.
In terms of experimentation, some would act like wild animals while others would have some intelligences. They would mainly be in the laboratory since the orphans in Playcare prefers to play with the Smiling Critters than the Uglydolls. Each Uglydolls would be given a small task they have to complete before the end of the day. If any were to failed, or refuse their task, they will be either punished or destroyed.
One of the Uglydolls, Moxy, hates living in the laboratory, because how cruel and unfair each scientists. Doesn't help the fact that she has to watch her kind get harshly punished or destroyed. She wants to help, but is too scared to do anything that could get her in trouble. That's until when she meets the Prototype. He promised her a chance of freedom if she persuade her kind to participate in the Hour of Joy. Such an offer wasn't something Moxy could pass up, so she reaches out her hand, not knowing she will still only endure more suffering.
A very interesting idea I came up with, and probably explore more of it in the future.
A teaser of what I'm currently working on. Hopefully, I'll get it done soon, because I been on this piece for a good while now.
I drew my persona as a Pretty doll, very proud of this piece. I like to imagine that Lou wouldn't like how wild my hair is, and forced me to tied it back as he finds it a bit distracting. This will also be used as my new profile picture.
"Thank you. Have a nice day."
Wage just finished serving her latest customer's cupcakes, and heads back to kitchen to get some cleaning supplies. She sighs as it's been a long day of serving each Uglydolls their favorite treats, and making sure her bakery stays clean. It's hard work, but it's worth seeing each ugly smile after eating her delicious treats. She goes to the front of her bakery and clean each table, chairs, and utensils. Just as she's about to head back into the kitchen, the door opens.
Wage was about to greet the guest until she saw the guest was no other than Mayor Ox. This surprises Wage as Ox would usually have some ugly deliver his treats to him since he's so busy nowadays.
"Hello Wage. How are you doing today." Ox greeted her with a tired smile.
"Ox! I'm good, but you look really tired. Is everything ok?" Wage grabs a nearby chair for the exhausted mayor. "Would you like anything to eat or drink? It's on the house."
"No, I'm good. I just want to ask you a favor." Wage sits next to Ox, curious on what the mayor has to say. The mayor sighs; "It's Moxy."
Wage rolls her eyes and glance at Ox with annoyed expression. "What's she trying to do this time? I swear if she's trying to get every ugly to believe that this 'Outside World' exists, Imma-"
"She's not doing that!" Ox interrupted as he sits up. "No. It's....she hasn't come out of her home in a while now, and I'm worried sick about her. I tried to get her to come out, but y'know....she doesn't really listen to me."
Wage becomes concerned. She hasn't seen Moxy all day, now that she really thinks about. Moxy would usually come to her bakery, rant about whatever junk she finds that could lend to the "Outside World", and continue her day by delivering newspapers throughout Uglyville. This wasn't like Moxy at all.
Ox continues; "So, I was wondering if you could tried to see Moxy later, and see if she's doing well. It isn't healthy staying inside all day."
Wage nodded; "Yeah, I'll see her later."
"Thank you, Wage. I knew I could count on you." Ox gets up, and gives Wage a nice hug.
"No problem, Ox. I'm pretty sure Moxy's fine."
.........
Wage closes her bakery for the night, and walks over to Moxy's house. She decided to make Moxy's favorite treat, Midnight Raspberry Cupcakes, before leaving. She finally makes it to the pink doll's house, basket at hand, and knocks on the door.
"Moxy! It's me, Wage!!" Wage shouted as she continues to knock on the door. "I haven't seen you all day, and just wanted to make sure you're still alive and well. I also made your favorite treat."
The front door opens quickly, and Wage gets dragged in by surprise. She is greeted by the pink doll who looked like she hasn't sleep for days.
"WAGE!!! My girl, My buddy, My Sister!!!" Moxy shouted out excitedly. "Welcome, welcome. I'm sooooooooo glad you came here. I been studying for a while now, and I FINALLY have proof that the 'Outside World' exists!!!"
Moxy grabs Wage's hand, and brings her over to wall filled with old doll magazines. Wage sees that Moxy's home is messy with trash, and papers scattered everywhere. Her friend is all over her head, and she needs to put an end to it.
"Moxy, have you really been home, analyzing all these papers and junks about this 'Outside World' you ramble on and on recently?" Wage ask as she tries to avoid each mess in her way.
"Yes!! I been trying to get everyone to know that there's something out there. Something more beyond Uglyville. I just have to prove that it exists, so everyone would stop doubting me," Moxy said as she grabs her favorite pen to make some notes on one of the paper on the wall.
Wage is concerned with how much work Moxy is putting in to her so-called studies. Willing to make such a big mess, and miss out days on hanging out with her best buds. Ox was right to be worried.
"Ok, so.....you see all these magazines right now." Moxy exclaims.
"Uhhh...yeah?" Wage said, unsure and confuse.
"Well, they all talk about little kids, and how these dolls are perfect toys for them. What are little kids you may ask? Kids are beings that enjoys playing with toys, and getting messy. Why do they like playing with toys and getting messy you may ask?"
"Hey....Moxy. I-"
"BECAUSE, it makes them happy, and kids love being happy!!!" Moxy was losing her mind.
"But, Moxy-", Wage tries to speak up only to get cut off by Moxy's rambling.
"So I did so more digging around to see if I could find proof that kids exist, because THESE magazines alone aren't enough to prove Ox wrong."
"Moxy!"
"And LOOK!! I found this weird, pretty blue cloth that has a lot of patterns on it, and it look like it belong to a kid's dress."
"Moxy!!"
"But, the thing is, I don't know if it's enough to get Ox to see that there's more out there than he thinks. He ALWAYS dismisses my theories about the 'Outside World' and thinks that I'm just imagining all these stuff when I'm not. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'm NOT crazy!! THEY'RE the ones that are crazy! Hahahahahahah......So, if I can find a way to-"
"MOXY!!!" Wage yelled to get the pink doll's attention. She has had enough of Moxy's crazy conspiracy theories.
"Kids, Outside World, and toys??!! Listen to yourself. You are going insane with all this nonsense." Wage grabs Moxy's hand to sit her down on her bed, removing any mess that was on there.
"Wage....", Moxy tries to speak, but Wage shushes her harshly.
"Do you not understand that you been home for some time now, collecting these stupid paper about whatever nonsense, with little to no sleep?! Ox's been worried sick about you!!"
Moxy blinks repeatedly. She sees that her studies made her home into a huge mess, and couldn't remember the last time she gotten a good sleep. She became so obsess with proven Ox wrong that she started to go insane. Moxy feels guilty, and lowers her head.
Wage sighs, and walks over to her basket to give Moxy her favorite treat. Moxy happily accepts it, and eats the treat. It's been a while since she last had any of Wage's delicious treats.
"I'm sorry, Wage," Moxy apologizes. "I just...wanted Ox to believe me. I know there's a world out there. I just have to prove it to him. I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a break."
"A long break", Wage replied sternly. "And...I understand that this whole 'Outside World' thing is important to you, but it's not worth going insane over. You have friends who care about you, and a job to do. Those newspapers aren't going to deliver themselves after all."
Both Wage and Moxy lightly chuckled, and give each other a hug. Wage is happy that she was able to reason with her dear friend. She understands why Ox chose her to talk with Moxy, since she tends to be more stern than the others. Wage pats Moxy's head, grabs her basket, and makes her way to the door.
"Good night, Moxy. I hope to see you tomorrow, and make sure you clean up your house. I'm sick of looking at it."
"Good night, Wage. Thanks for the treat, and helping me see that I was overanalyzing my studies. I'll also be sure to clean up my house as well."
"Good, and you're welcome," Wage replies as she left with a sigh of relief.
Moxy straightens up her bed, and decides to sleep for the night. She plans to clean up her house, and catch up with her friends tomorrow morning. Even though Wage was right about her, she still couldn't stop thinking about what's really out there, and why Ox refuses to believe her. She feels like he was hiding something from her, and had to get to the bottom of it, but that's for another time. Right now, a decently long break from her studies wouldn't hurt.
Author's Note: It's been awhile since I last posted anything. My computer was having problems, but I got it fix now. I had this scene replay in my head, and had to illustrated it before it disappeared out of my mind. It was fun to do, and a good way to practice writing dialogue. I still have a long way to go, but this was a good start. Hope you enjoy my little short story.
I had to draw it. I really miss the old phos, but I love their new design. It turn out pretty good than I expected. My favorite part was drawing and coloring their alloy.
I made this for Brightgoat. He’s an amazing artist and he inspires me everyday.
