<You poor things, how do you keep ending up like this?>
<if this keeps happening i'll run out of parts in no time, and my suppliers already getting suspicious of me :/ >
A hand caresses the exposed hydraulic lines of The Doll, gently squeezing along its length. Examining them for any cracks or punctures, to no avail, The Doll's rubber hoses remain undamaged.
<Hm, impressive. For such a pretty droid to be in this state, your soft tubing is surprisingly stable. Guess her aim's getting better.>
The hand feels a small pulse pass through the softer lining of the hydraulic tube, followed by a small spurt of fluid to pump from a crack in one of the frame's chest support pistons. One that runs from the core of it's pelvis to the inner side of it's ribs.
<Fine, i'll get to that next dear. Just making sure nothing soft in you started to get eaten away.>
The handler shifts her attention to The Doll's torso. A large nail has found its way into The Doll's flank. There are no organs for it to puncture, so the poor thing isn't at risk of bleeding out. but it has put a significant damper on it's ability to stay upright.
<oh my, that seems pretty uncomfortable, let me get that thorn for you, sweet thing >
The Handler pulls on the nail, it's hefty and imbedded pretty deep, if not completelly through The Doll's synthetic flesh, the hole is deep but not beyond repair, a simple piece of donor material will integrate itself and heal overtime.
The Doll let's out a moan of gratitude, appreciating the new relief of a discomfort it wasn't aware it was in.
<mmfh~, yeah good doll, that's better, isn't it? Not too long before I can get you off of that hook, you'll feel the difference right away!>
A small tingle runs through The Doll's body as the handler unbolts the piston at it's lowest connection, the vibration of a power tool resonating through it's pelvis seems to do more to The Doll than it's code anticipated, another whimper escapes it
<Oh you're a vocal one.. even in safemode you can't seem to stop... oh my...>
The Handler disconnects the top of the piston, releasing it's hydraulic hose to a small dribble of remnant fluid in it, The Doll's posture shifts at the change in weight, hanging looser on it's maintanence hook. it's a short wait before a replacement is fitted. The same sensation hits it, the small vibration resonating through the doll's body, another small whimper, that seems to grow louder when it's alowed to purge and discharge any pent up hydraulic presssure deep into the piston's chamber.
<Good doll... let it all out, you'll be on the ground soon, I promise!> The Handler's voice seems to be getting more excited.
The crane lowers it down, it's pelvis interfacing with the joints of two fresh legs, its systems taking to them well, preparing calibration before,
<Careful there sweetie, we can't have you roaming too free. Could you please sit for me? >
Obediently, the doll kneels. Rocking forward to keep its feet planted where they are, it sinks to th ground. The Handler looks much taller now, and in turn a little more intimidating, The Doll goes to open it's mouth before being inturrupted once more.
A hand on it's lips, and a gentle <hush, now, your safemode restricts your speech so theres no need for this to open.>
< That shoulder looks like it hurts, hun and it's not as easy as swapping a new one on ): >
The handler's fingers trace the jaw of The Doll, following down their neck and across it's collar bone to circle the still fresh wound.
Another nail.
Dug deep into The Doll's plating and muscle tissue, the immediate area around the entry wound is sensitive. The Doll would shudder under her touch if her micro-movement-servo's weren't already disabled.
Unlike it's legs, and its flank this nail has punctured The Doll's shoulder connection, bolting the two together uncerimoniously.
<now where do I start with this.... > The Handler muttered. <I can't get the arm off.. your plating is shattered so that's a deeper job still...>
<Such a shame, looks like the easiest route is one I'd rather not take. In for a penny, i suppose.> The Handler readjusts their grip, wrapping her hand around the shaft of the nail.
A searing pain rocked through The Doll's system, a scream jolts through it's body, though not one of pain, and a motor attempts to pump from an empty tank deeper within it's chassis. It's a pathetic sight.
<nghf, I'm so sorry, I don't want to see you hurt, as much as you want to be.... but god it's a sight.... She really did a number on you....>
<I'll be sure to refill that tank too before I'm done....>
With the discomfort gone, The Doll hangs a little more limp, it's shoulder raw and exposed but no longer clogged, its synthflesh able to slowly seal around the wound as The Handler sources a replacement joint.
<I'm glad they stopped making you all so expendable, it broke my heart to see you strewn about the city knowing there was nothing I could do...>
ERR >:_ Unidentifiable accessory attached to system, functionality at risk
Error cleared by Unknown Opperator, systems readjusting power delivery
<But now, it's just so easy~<3 So many toys wandering around, I don't think I can ever get bored~ and I know just where you all are~ ^w^>
The Doll's joint reattached easily, luckiky the last one prevented the nail from bending it's mounting brackets too far out of place, just a number of screws and a maglock reassembly for the arm to be seated in place.
<You can rise now, dear i just have one last thing and I'll set you on your way :3 >
Steadily, the doll rose, with the help of it's Handler, helping it carry itself on legs it hasn't calibrated to be folded over a table.
A new hose found itself attached to The Doll, one connected to a tank deep within its chassis, the hose itself cold in comparison.
The Fluid it was pumping even colder, straight from it's source, The Doll could feel it begin to fill up, the tank deep within chilling its surrounding synthflesh.
<That's a good Doll you did great, now please keep yourself out of trouble <3 That's an order. >
