Shutdown (Lou x OC)

Playing New Doll

As Yoon was standing in the middle of the always celebrating crowd, she could only think of the opportunity to restart her life. New person, not a friend of a criminal. She will act like a normal new doll, then after a small amount of time, go to the Big World an get a child. Like the normal dolls.

"Hello! Are you new here?"-suddenly a pink uglydoll asked. Yoon has immediately popped into her role as a newcomer doll.

"Yes. I was born this morning. My name is Yoon!"-she said smiling wide but fake.

"Hi then! Welcome to Ugl- Imperfection! I still didn't adjust to the merger of the two towns."-the pink doll chuckled and grabbed Yoon's hand.-"Let me show you around! Oh, and my name's Moxy!

The pink doll dragged Yoon through the whole new town. She has never been to a sightseeing in Imperfection, and looked in awe at the mixed types of houses. An old box-like house from Perfection, just colored yellow and purple, then an Uglyville style one then a mix of the two types. And the line of such houses covering everything untill the horizont. A wide street went through the whole town, to connect Uglyville and Perfection. Imperfection was way bigger than the two towns together. Yoon looked in awe at the colorful city. In her statement, it wasn't a small town anymore. But then she saw something that has driven her back to the past. She felt an urge to ask one, maybe inappropriate question. She looked at Moxy, but tried to avoid looking into her eyes.

"Uhm... can I ask something?"-she said staring at a blond doll mopping the floor of the town.-"What happened to him?"

The blond doll - Lou - looked really messy, just walked from here to there mopping the floor. And whenever a doll was passing by, they threw some trash or splashed some mud where he already cleaned up. He looked tired, and motivationless. His glance was filled with misery.

"Oh. He's Lou. We usually avoid talking much about him.He did... uhm... really really bad things. And it's his punishment, to clean the streets of Imperfection."-Moxy went silent and crossed her arms. It was visible, that she felt uncomfortable while talking about the blond dollboy. Yoon looked past Moxy straight at Lou. She did know exactly what he did. But still thought that coming out from the mudhole, and pushing in the one who pushed us in before, is nothing better than what they did. But she remained silent. The dollgirl didn't want to put her newly got reputation on the line. She sighed and looked at Moxy. And another question formed in her mind.

'How did they defeat him? The last scene I saw was him kicking that robot baby in the face.'-she thought. But playing safely she asked:

"Uhm... What did he do?"

"At this point I suggest you to ask Ox. He got more over this than me. I don't want to think of that horrible day."-Moxy said and pointed towards a green bunny small talking to an unknown uglydoll. Yoon's eyes widned as she recognized the bunny, she saw at the day of her birth, at that pipe with Lou. Now everything was clear to her. Lou hated the Uglydolls, so probably he got rid of every one of them, no matter what time did they accidentally end up in Perfection. The only thing she didn't know was:  why did Mia told her and her friends, that Lou likes to help the uglies? She no longer hesitated.

"Ok. I'm the curious type of doll, so I think I just go and ask Ox, as you suggested."-she quickly thank Moxy the sighteeing tour, then made her way to Ox through the partying crowd of dolls. The green bunny sitll was in the middle of the conversation with another doll, so Yoon just stopped 2 metres away from him, and waited. Maybe for an hour, or it just seemed this long time to her, the other doll waved bye to Ox and she finally could get some new informations, about the past of Lou, since she herself only knew how he rose to power in the Institute of Perfection.

"Uhm... Excuse me."-she tapped the shoulder of the one eyed bunny. Ox turned around and smiled warmly at the dollgirl, seemingly thinking she's new, which was right, according to her role as a new doll. But it still made her uncomfortable, especially if she saw the other one earlier yet.
