"Calm down, Dear. You're only making your mold more uncomfortable to wear."

::There was no middle ground with this experiment. Elizabeth had found a doll daring enough to be her new guinea pig. Not only was she willing, but she claimed that she would endure anything so long as it were for her Mistress. Such boasting always made the seamstress chuckle, and so she felt she would put that loyalty to the test.::

::The outfit had to be carefully assembled, each set of halves latched, locked, and riveted so that they wouldn't come apart. It was a long process, and so Mana had been spared the patient wait by spending her time sleeping. As she awoke, however, she found her body was stiff. Her wrists would not move, nor her neck or her back. Three rings around her abdomen allowed her to lean forward and back, side to side, though her chest and most of her back was held stiff by a strict brace. She only felt air on her chest and face, panicking a little as she looked to the rivets that trapped the rest of her body in this jointed, stiff shell. Her arms clicked as they bent upwards and pulled back down, a chain of stubs rubbing against her upper arm and making free joint movement impossible. She would have to pick and angle and keep at it. Her shoulders and thighs swiveled somewhat freely thanks to ball joins, though the rubber bands that pulled beneath those joints did not allow her a stress-free movement. By default, her hands would raise to her shoulder length and her thighs would spread wide. She could not see below, a rational fear crossing her mind.::

"B-but Mistress.. how will I..."

::She could feel air pass through her pelvic shell, though did not know why or how. Elizabeth simply smiled and showed her a mirror, showing her the holes that were placed for her convenience. Mana quivered in imagining what it would be like! Her back ached from being so stiff, her teeth gritting in frustration as her body refused to move as correctly as she once knew. She could not even walk for she was placed on a stand and could not escape the clasp by her own strength. She began to sniffle as Elizabeth approached her, her hand running along her cheek.::

"The rivets are permanent, Dear.~ You're going to be my doll for a very long time."

::Mana shrieked, her breath now forced from her chest since her belly was restricted. It was very much the same feeling of wearing a corset, the frustration of the shell coming mostly from her restricted movement. Mana clicked her arms straight so that they would weigh down, wishing her arms would fall flat on their own! Elizabeth turned her display around so that she could see the casing behind her. It was a life-sized plastic doll casing complete with twisty wires and her own name and logo. "Cute Like Mana" was the brand given to her, and the molding seemed to fit her size perfectly. Elizabeth spoke softly.::

"This is your new bed. The plastic mold will relieve you of any stress your muscles take. Would you like to go to sleep now?"

::Mana could not deny her emotional frustration with the rubber bands and the click joints. She blushed in her fit as she nodded, two strong assistants helping her snap into her plastic mold. Elizabeth turned away from her, a soft smirk on her face despite her cruelty. She sat with Estella across the room, a worried look on her doll's face. Elizabeth could tell she felt for Mana, though a warm smile crept along her lips.::

"She claimed she would endure anything for me, and now she has to accept it. Though... the rivets will only hold for a week at most.~

I wonder how long her mind will hold?"
