9:36 PM

As Taylor ripped at the blanket's fabric and sewed, he would be able to sense a slight tension in the air all of a sudden. It would almost feel like static, but just as quickly as it built up, it faded. Out of thin air, another presence entered the building right beside Taylor. A man in a green and blue popped up like an icon, humming with a slim smile on his lips. "Oh, looks like I ended up on the snowy side. How fun!" Bridge beamed as he looked around. "Oh! I don't think I've met you yet, stranger! What do they call you?" The program boldly asked Taylor. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge changed the channel name: Taylor's Sewing Ad 4/8/2024 9:36 PM

Taylor flinches violently, his hand rubbing one of Poppy's newly sewn up ears smooth almost yanking it as he jumped. His red eyes gazed at Bridge for a moment. Almost as if looking at his clothes and complexion more than actually him before looking up at his face. Looking through him till... he zones back in. Smiling awkwardly as he gripped the sewing needle in his hand to the point it might snap. "Oh uh... my apologies. I'm... I. Am called Taylor. " @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge continued to smile at Taylor, almost eerily so, yet, when Taylor finally replied, his smile became more genuine. "Taylor! Taylor the Sewer, it seems," he mused as he looked down to what Taylor was working on. His gaze then shifted on towards Poppy, his eyes sparkling. "Oh. My. Gosh. Is that a teddy bear?!" Bridge gasped. "It's so.. CUTE!" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"Poppy is a rabbit." He states bluntly. Poppy moving her new hand to soothingly rub his arm. He just smiled back at her for a moment, rubbing her head between her ears before looking back up at Bridge. "And she is cute. Thank you." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Rabbit, bear, same thing-" Bridge dismissed with a wave. "Did you make her or something? She's absolutely ADORBS! You would make a killing online with those!" He beamed with genuine excitement. "If you make it out of here alive, I'd be happy to promote your work on my streams!" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"...Poppy is a special case. And I already work at my uncle's store ." He continued to pet Poppy's head. Her tilting it as she looked at Bridge now as well. Taylor.... never really went out much away from home. Away from his uncle or the store. Not in any way he could remember at least. So the idea of being promoted on some sort of..... whatever Bridge was talking about. Slightly scared him. "....what's a stream by the way??" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge was visibility disappointed at that. "Awhh. So you can't make more like her? That sucks," he frowned as he rubbed his chin with his hand. "A stream? You don't know what that is, sew boy? Why, it's only the best kind of entertainment there is on the internet! People stream a lot of things—Games, shows, podcasts! Any sort of interest? There's a stream of someone doing it!" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

Taylor and Poppy look at each other before looking at Bridge again. If button eyes could somehow be more blank, then well, Bridge succeeded in causing that to happen. "I....see... I apologize again. My uncle is a bit old fashioned so I mainly only read the books he has." He replied. Fidgeting with the needle in hand. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge groaned as he saw Taylor and Poppy's lackluster reply. Gosh, tough crowd. "Oh, so you're more of a bookworm, gotcha. Well, lucky for you, there are things on the internet you would find useful too. Wait—Let me guess, you don't know what the internet is either? What year did Mr. Rakin take you from??" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"Uh..... I think 2019? I'm not sure. Uncle forgot to get a new calender since he had to stay in quarantine for a while like everyone else." Taylor said simply as if it should be common knowledge. "That was the most he let me outside unsupervised since I was the only one that could safely get groceries." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Hmm.. 2019 is certainly a time where the internet is a common thing. You must of really been sheltered growing up. That's so sad. The internet is like, the best thing that's ever happened!" Bridge replied. He teleported next to Taylor, opposite to Poppy, and pulled up a holographic screen in front of them. "Here, let me show you what I mean. Because I'm such a wonderful host, I'll make sure you get to experience something as cool as the internet before your possible demise."

11:10 PM

@Barry | Taylor + Kevin

Taylor flinches again seeing the screen. Holding Poppy close as he didn't expect that to just suddenly happen out of nowhere. "...." He didn't say anything about the 'possible demise' bit. Only giving a bit of a face for a second before he went to poke the screen. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

The screen was holographic, so when Taylor went to touch it, his hand would of passed right on through. Bridge, however, could press the buttons and screen as wanted. "So, we're in the middle of a minor galaxy, but I can still connect us to some internet if I want to. Lemme see here.." Bridge hummed as he began to type something. Soon, the screen loads what looks like Google and Bridge smiles a bit. "The internet is filled with thousands and thousands of information. With a few clicks of a button, you can research pretty much anything. You gotta be careful though. Sometimes people put of misinformation on purpose, so make sure you study up on your internet safety if you get back home," Bridge explained before typing in 'red-eyed tree frog' into the tab. "See? It gives you images, websites, and shops that all relate to what you type in! This is me, by the way," Bridge smiled as he pointed to an image. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"Woah..... so. Besides the scary bits you can look up anything? Or anyone?" The anxiety ebbed away as he looked at the screen seeing Bridge's face photographed. Moving to touch it again before remembering he couldn't and drawing his hand back to Poppy. Letting her look at the screen as well. "...can. Can I see types of sewing fabric. And such?" A simple thing to ask when seemingly endless abyss of knowledge was right in front of him. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge nodded, a grin spreading on his face. "That's correct! Some stuff is harder to come by, but with the right tricks and tools, you can do a lot," he chuckled. "Hmm, sewing fabric? Sure, why not," Bridge shrugged as he typed in for a list. He pulled up a website that seemed to have an acute amount of information and moved the screen over, adjusting it to become a bit more solid so Taylor could touch it. "Here. You'll be able to scroll on it now—Like this," Bridge said, demonstrating the scrolling motion. https://seamapparel.com/blog/types-of-fabrics/ @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

Ultimate Guide To Fabric And 60+ Types Of Fabric

Choosing the appropriate types of fabric for clothing is a crucial task, as there are several qualities to consider.

"Woah... there's so many colors alone!" His eyes almost sparkled with wonder like a child as he slowly scrolled. Fingers gently brushing against the now more solid screen as if he was afraid of breaking it. "This one looks so smooth- oh this one looks so fuzzy it's almost like actual fur! " He gestured with his hands excitedly as he couldn't help bit stim a bit from the things he was seeing now. Already imagining the kinds of things that he could make. It was as if for a moment he was free from the anxiety inducing thoughts for thus brief moment. "I wonder if this was what my uncle felt like when..." He trails off. Realizing he was speaking out loud. Grabbing his hands to keep himself from moving them as he spoke even though the excitement was still very evident. Hoping he wouldn't be asked about what he was going to say. Eyes still scanning the screen as he scrolled to act as if he hadn't said anything. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge let Taylor scroll, intrigued by his immense interest in the subject of fabric. He looked over some of the things Taylor squealed about, unable to really share his enthusiasm, but smiled nonchalantly. "Wow, you get really excited about this stuff. Can you make a lot of things with all of this?" Bridge asked. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"I... can make little friends like Poppy. At least with how she looks now especially. But well, they're not as independent as her. But give me the right materials and I can make a stuffed animal no problem. Though it's nothing compared to what my uncle can do. He really likes using leathers and such in his creations depending on what he's making." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Now, Bridge seemed really interested. "You can make more like her??" He beamed with pure curiosity. "How?? Isn't she just stuffing and string?? How does she move?" Bridge asked as he bent down to Poppy's height, looking over her like a bug under a glass. "And your uncle makes even better ones!? You guys are artists!" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

He almost looks like he'd ve blushing by now, looking flustered but happy at the compliment. "W-well thank you- but yes he does! He can make them seem so life like! Someone here asked if it was like with taxidermy but no it's just....just... not. He makes sure whatever he makes has a soul for it and Poppy is the closest I've gotten to that." He brushes his hand against his temple near his large scar hidden by his hair. Seeming to be pondering what to say next. Bridge was listening. He was listening and- and other people listened but he wasn't calling Poppy an it and he was nice. Maybe.... @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Ohhhh! A soul in a made thing? That's so interesting! It's sorta like me," Bridge chuckled, winking playfully at Poppy. "No wonder you're such a cutie," he mused before glancing back at Taylor. "You'd definitely would be a hit if you advertised your stuff on the internet. People go crazy over animated stuffed animals!" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

He was flustered by everything Bridge was saying... yet one thing did stick put for him. "...what did you mean by that? 'It's sorta like me.'" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge hummed, giving Taylor an amused smile. "Do you think normal people can just, teleport?" He chuckled as he disappeared from side of Taylor to the opposite. "Mr. Rakin made me, but I've got a pretty good spirit of my own. Fascinating, isn't it? The 'soul'?" @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

His mind went back to the first interaction between him and Rakin. A look of concern on his face evident as he glanced at Bridge in his new spot. "...Yes. But... does he treat you right?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Why, of course he does!" Bridge smiled, his red lens glistening in the warmer oranges of the nearby torches. "Mr. Rakin and I go waaaay back. I trust him. Though, I guess you contestants worry about him killing you, so I can see why you're hesitant." @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"I mean yes but.... I mainly meant how he treats you. He..." The chews his lips nervously as he thinks about how to say this. But Bridge might get it. "....my uncle knows some people treat those that weren't 'born' or 'alive' like normal humans badly sometimes. And... Rakin said he knew all about my life. Or, 'if you could even call it that'. He said. I just... want to make sure he's not like that to you at least." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge's smile turned into a curious gaze as he listened to Taylor. It was quite clear whatever Taylor felt, Bridge didn't quite feel the same way, nor did he really understand. "I think you're misunderstanding something here, Sewing master-" Bridge leaned towards Poppy, smiling at her before offering his hand to her like you would to a dog. "Mr. Rakin doesn't quite care for any of you. He and I share a closer, more special bond. He treats me like an equal, and that's all that really matters to me—Even if he's still technically my boss," Bridge chuckled. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

She lightly smacked his hand as if she was thinking he wanted a high five. "...good. good. Look i... I don't like what he's doing. At all. But... if he made you and treats you okay at least he has some standards." He gives a slightly sad smile. "....I only check to make sure since I know what it's like to be made. Fascinating like you said right? The soul?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge couldn't help but laugh a little as Poppy high-fived him. "Yeah, rock on, lil lady," he smiled. Though, Bridge's attention immediately turned back to Taylor as he spoke. He stared at Taylor for a moment, like the dots were computing in his head. "Oh. Ohhhh.. You're just like me," Bridge's smile grew as he pointed between the two of them. "Your uncle made you, didn't he? This is so, so fascinating.. A human flesh? Or are you fabric like Miss Pop Rock?" 'Miss Pop Rock' was Poppy. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

He giggles a bit at the nickname. "A mix of fabric. Leathers. Furs. Fake hairs. He specially ordered my eyes. The 'soul'... was supposed to be someone else. I think. But I'm me." It felt.... it just felt. He didn't know how to describe it. And the fact that Bridge wasn't acting any different - maybe because they were similar in this aspect at least - it made it so much more freeing. "But he cared for me. Patched this body up whenever I would be tattered. " @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

This time, Bridge looked over Taylor like the insect under the glass. He was so curious as to how a stuffed rabbit could move so freely, now a human too? Taylor had so much personality, it was a little hard for Bridge to comprehend. "You have an authentic soul. It must of originally belonged to someone he cared about, perhaps? Regardless, this is very intriguing. My form is made up of light and screens, so it's practically an illusion, but you have touch and feel.. I'm envious." @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"It's as close as he could mimic at least. I mainly have my senses besides my sight from this soul's memories. I guess uh, if I had to explain it in a techy way it's like data...stuff or whatcha call it uses what it already knows and uh.... guesses?? I'm sorry that probably doesn't make any sense." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge chuckled as he listened to Taylor's attempt of using technology slang. "Hmm, I see. So you can learn. That's the basic principle of human spirit," Bridge commented. "You must be your uncle's pride and joy. He did wonderful in making you." @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"And so far, I think Rakin did well with making you. I would never of realized you were just light and screens and all that if you didn't tell me.... but I do wish I could give you that feeling of well, feeling. Touching. Both the good and the irritating." He fidgets with his fingers as he speaks. "...if. If one day I could do that. If I somehow survive this place. If I could give you that chance like my uncle gave me... would you want it?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge smiled curiously at Taylor, like a cat observing a play thing. "Touch..? Well, what I 'feel' is simply an input of numbers and data. It's never going to be a sort of touch you or other humans feel. It's only going to be all in my head," he chuckled. "Besides, I don't exactly plan to stick around any of you contestants. I'm here to watch over you all, and make sure no one else can get in. I was simply curious about you is all. Don't take this as me being chummy," Bridge elaborated with a cold smile. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

Without a blink Taylor immediately responded. "I'm fine if you don't care about me. I'm fine if you'd even hate me. As long as you didn't try to hurt Poppy, I don't think you'd be someone I could hate." He gives a genuine smile, soft and kind even when blatantly told Bridge was just doing his job mostly. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Somehow, Taylor just got more and more interesting as Bridge spoke to him. Perhaps it was their upbringing, or lack of, but they were in a way, kindrid souls. Bridge's smile widened, his eyes wrinkling a bit behind his glasses. "Well, I'm flattered by your kindness, Sewing Master. Perhaps if we met under better circumstances, I would reconsider your offer." @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"I'll take that as a compliment." He chuckles. Seeming happy that there was that at least. Maybe in another life, another world, they could of been something close to the possibility of friends. He hoped so, at least. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Hm... Behind his red lens, Bridge's eyes seemed to flicker a small light before disappearing. He waved his hand to dismiss the screen he had pulled up earlier, before waving at the pair. "Well, I'll be bidding farewell for now. I think I've gathered all the information I was curious about. It'll be a pleasure to see if you make it out of here alive." @Barry | Taylor + Kevin

"You saying that gives me a little extra hope that I will." He chuckles. Him and Poppy waving goodbye in return. "If you ever need more 'information' about sewing up things, you know where I'll be." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge winked at the pair, chuckling just the slightest. "I'll keep it in mind," he replied. He turned his back to the two, teleporting away with a small green static. @Barry | Taylor + Kevin
