Lily Lovebraids [Poppy playtime]

The corridors of the abandoned factory always felt longer as you run trought them. Fluorescent lights flickered overhead, buzzing like trapped insects, and the peeling paint along the walls curled outward as if trying to escape the building itself. Somewhere deep between the plastic trees and false sky, a humming chimed like a broken lullaby.

You tightened your grip on the flashlight. “Hello?” you called, the echo didn’t return alone as a clicking of joints began to echo through the darkness and layered over it. You froze as the beam of your flashlight wavered down the hallway and landed on something at the corner ahead. Three long braids hung from it like ropes raping along the floor. Plastic eyes reflected your light, wide and unblinking. Lily LoveBraids stepped out from the corridor, her porcelain face was flawless, painted smile delicate and sweet. but the joints of her limbs clicked too loosely as she moved, and her head tilted farther than any human neck should allow.

“I Found you!” a high and sing-song voice come out as she jumping of excitement, her breasts bounced with an enthusiasm that seemed to defy the very laws of physics and reason “You finally came to play.” Your back hit the wall before you realized you’d stepped away. There was nowhere else to go, the corridor behind you had collapsed shelves blocking it. You were boxed in by plastic eyes and too-white teeth. Lily’s smile widened, letting out just a little of the madness that her eyes can't hide. “No leaving. Playtime is forever.” She say lifting the braid holding the Candy Cat head “I don’t have friends anymore. They all stopped moving... But you! You’re warm,” she whispered. “Warm friends last longer.” One braid slid around your wrist before you could react. It tightened, not painfully, but firmly, like a tether. Fibers inside the synthetic hair flexed with hidden strength. “See?” she said swing gently, making her skirt rose high and exposing how the sock mold to the flesh of her thigh like a second skin “Now you won’t get lost.”

You tried to pull back as the others braid lifted slowly, hovering near your shoulder like a curious snake. “First we play a little game,” Lily continued. “Then tea. Then forever.” The fluorescent lights flickered out as darkness swallowed you while the draids covering you. *She start humming as the braids dragged across the dusty floor, walking through the endless corridors of Poppy Playtime’s forgotten factory back to the dollhouse, she finaly found her playmate and this time, it would last longer. ''What game you wanna play first, my good toy~'' Say Lily as she open the door to her chambers.
