Thought about what would happen if the Prototype got jealous of you. Because Poppy, his sister, clings to you like a lifeline. And it makes him think about his father.
If you like my work, please consider commissioning me or leaving a tip on Ko-fi (ΛΆα΅ α΅ α΅ΛΆ)
The Prototype and Poppy's angel
β Those who know him would whisper that he's a narcissist -and he absolutely is. But it's unclear if the Prototype was born this way, or if it's something learned. Because being treated like a god would warp anyoneβs sense of self.
β He's become very desensitized to violence. Never flinching at the sound of bones snapping. Flesh being pulled apart, and falling to the concrete floor with a wet thud. He doesnβt even look down.
β Empathy is reserved for toys who obey. Even then, it's in limited supply. The Prototype doesn't care who survives. Say a toy scurries beneath his six legs. He'll make it quick and stab them in the chest. Killing fast.
β People -outsiders, they're not shown that same kindness. When the Player stepped into his heaven? He knew you were meant to die slow.
β Everything he does is for the benefit of himself and Poppy. Although he ends up hurting her more than anything else. In his mind, he knows what's best for her. She's just a child that needs to be corrected, guided and controlled.
β When she forces his hand, (doesn't follow along,) it's Poppy's fault Prototype to hurt her. The blame falls on her. Every time. She should've listened to him. Now look at what she made him do? It's all her fault.
β The fact Poppy dragged an outside into what he considers a family matter is insulting. To him, she's using you as a shield. Reminds him of how Poppy used to hide behind their dad. She would cry. And Elliot would tell her it'd be okay.
β But his dad isn't here anymore. It was frustrating then, and still is now. Poppy clings to you the same way. That... doesn't sit well with him. But he refuses to admit he's jealous.
β The Prototype tells himself you aren't important. Only a temporary problem. She'll lose interest in you, soon enough. The only reason Poppy likes you is because she needs you.
β You're a real pain, you know that? A playmate he didn't ask for. And while it is fun toying with your life, he knows that all good things must come to an end.
β As you sink into the poppy gel, the world becomes numb around you. He hopes you'll understand what a mistake coming back here was when the light leaves your eyes... What he didn't know was that you had more friends than he thought.
Catnap was never really fond of you in retrospect. You spoke to the Prototype too casually. Words that came out backhanded. Actions that toed the line between loyalty and betrayal. You weren't respectful of the Prototype, but you were never punished either because he liked you. Right. Liked. Not tolerated. Liked.
"Ollie, come onnnnn. Ugh, none of the toys are rebelling. Loosen up?" You spin in the swivel chair, and the Prototype moves his eye to glance at you.
"Behave."
"You like it when I act out. It reminds you that I'm still myself." You still, though, glancing at the security cameras. "It reminds you that you succeeded in turning me into this mess."
He crushes a storage container with his leg, and you shut up as he turns around to face you properly.
"I let you live because I still have a use for you."
"Ollie. You let me live because we're friends." You hop off the chair, patting his leg as you pass him. "I'll be out with Chum in security. Love ya."
He leans down as you get on your toes, pressing a kiss to his cheek as he stares at you.
"Rounds later."
"Yes, just come grab me then."
The Prototype turns as you slide the door open.
You pass Catnap on the way out as he's getting ready to report updates on the other traitors, sticking your tongue out at the toy as he hisses.
Silly kitty. You've known 1006 longer.
And, well. You were more useful than the cat anyway. The Prototype needed an example to be made out of you to the Toys. Behave and you survive like the orphan. You can become immortal like the orphan if you behave.
The promise of a false dream he was once promised he was now fulfilling through you.
Well, not your problem. You lost your humanity the second you became that silly toy.

Sun/Sundrop (Fnaf Security Breach)
βοΈ Sun is extremely caring in any shape or form, So the first thing he'll do is check up on you! Taking a tentacle that deep can be quite painful for some in the ass afterall.
βοΈ He'd tell you how good it was with you and how happy you made him! <3
βοΈ Before you even got started with...Ykw. He prepared a corner in his room for when you're done that included: Medicine, moon gummies, Cold water and a towel.
βοΈ Sunny also made sure that you were comfortable with him at the beginning and end of it, your safety AND enjoyment are his top priorities.
βοΈ When he's done making sure you're okay he will cuddle with you in his "nest" wich is basically just a pile of blankets and pillows lol
βοΈ He'd trace his metal fingers over your back gently, whispering sweet nothings into your ear and telling you how good you took him.
βοΈ Incase you were in any pain poor sunny would Be frantic and full on panic mode, he made YOU hurt. YOU. The love of his life for Crayons sake!
βοΈ Sunny puts something cold over any sore spot, and wash you for you, and wraps you in cozy blankets and fluffs up your pillow. Only the coziest coziness for you!
βοΈ He doesn't get tired so soon afterwards since he's an animatronic, the only way he'd really be tired is if his battery was now short after so much movement.
βοΈ And even if he was tired, he would stay awake to make sure you're cared for and deeply asleep so Moonie could take over again and make sure the daycare is ready.
βοΈ Overall In my opinion, he is a 10/10 when it comes to aftercare. Caring, Doting, and overall sweet! Although still quite energetic afterwards.
Moon/Moondrop (Fnaf Security Breach)
π Moonie is similar to his brighter counterpart when it comes to caring for you afterwards.
π Strong feeling that Moon has more "learning experience" in this field and knows how to do a better aftercare, Since Sun is very strict with inappropriate things.
π moon would also prepare stuff inside their shared room for when you two were done with ykw. though Moon would have more water than blankets.
π Out of the Two animatronics, moon will ensure your slumber is soon as he knows that humans get tired quite easily and are usually groggy in the morning.
π He wouldn't be opposed to you staying up a bit longer, but he won't let you for too long. After all of that your body needs to gain energy.
π Moonie will bring you comfortable night wear after a well needed shower, and a soft blanket. You'll still be sleeping in their room.
π Moonie will stay with you until the lights turn back on and Sunnie comes out to take the day shift.
π He isn't tired like you, it takes much more than that to lower his battery to almost nothing. he was meant to kind of be a guard dog to the pizzeria anyways.
π When you're fast asleep He also makes sure to check the security cameras and delete any footage that may have picked up either of your activities or noises.
π His voice. HIS VOICE..After everything his voice kind of became a deeper tone and a bit more Raspy, Not the "i smoked 500 cigarettes" raspy though lmao.
π I would also give moon a 10/10 when it comes to aftercare, He's also very attentive just like Sunnie. But honestly i prefer him over Sun because I wouldn't be able to handle an energetic blob after allat.
Flo/Flora (Where The Spotlight Lingers)
π Flo is both a Tall charming fella, and a VERY very...Kinky one too at that. Hell if you've seen the creators tumblr asks you would KNOW that Flo is a freak in the sheets.
π And as they Also said..Flo is a Virgin, Baby boy was a virgin and YOU now own his V-Card. it's safe to say Flo doesn't really know much about aftercare and how to deal with you at first.
π If you told him what to do and how to take care of you, he will oblige and do just that as you told him!
π Given his Nature and species I don't think Flo would need really much of an aftercare, Sure he'll take a bath with you and you can give him a little massage. But overall he wouldn't need anything in specific.
π I don't think he would have anything medical or such on stand by, but he'd be very willing to get you anything from the Infirmary zone not too far away.
π Speaking of Infirmary zone, if you got injured or anything and he cannot treat you on his own. He would be EXTREMELY flustered and shy if anybody there asked how you got hurt.
π Big spoon baby, He will cuddle you afterwards and make sure you're comfortable while he whispers little nicknames into your ear in Italian.
π You might even catch him calling you petnames in english, but he prefers Italian.
π Nuzzles himself into you but doesn't fall asleep aswell after everything, he's on guard and hopes to whatever deity is out there that the Ringmaster doesn't catch either of you.
π I give flo a 7/10 when it comes to Aftercare, Mainly because he's inexperienced but that's okay! you live and you learn anyways. :3c
Shadow Milk Cookie (Cookie Run Kingdom)
π₯ Shadow Milk is a cocky and smug bastard, literally the first thing on his mind when you two are finished he's all "yeah i tapped that" all smug and proud.
π₯ He was the Fount of Knowledge so he knows what to do and how to care for you, and tending to any possible wounds that he may inflicted during sexy time.
π₯ His blue fingers will gently rub your scalp and hair after he told you to get a warm bath with him to rinse all the fluids away and sweat.
π₯ Will throw a few jokes here and there about the situation, But he grows soft during Aftercare knowing that you most likely need to calm down from all of that.
π₯ Shadow Milk will grow a bit tired no matter if he was top or bottom etc, He may be one of the Beast cookies but he can be a bit more affected by After sex Tiredness.
π₯ Wouldn't be Tired tired though like you, maybe a few yawns here and there but nothing big.
π₯ If you needed More blankets or pillows he will order candy apple cookie or black sapphire cookie to get you whatever you need.
π₯ why won't he do it himself? mmhh it's too cozy for him to move, especially when your body temperature is so warm and nice against his cool body.
π₯ He'll call you loads and loads of petnames when you're asleep like "My cutie Patootie!~" or something like "Sweet little Cookie <3" but deny it in the morning.
π₯ Shadow Milk gets a 9/10 from me because he was the fount of knowledge, he'll have a lot of ideas and knows what to do. -1 point because I couldn't handle him doing "ball" jokes.
Pierrot (The Freak Circus)
π Another creator confirmed Virgin on the list :DD !! yet again doesn't know about Aftercare or what to do without you telling him on what you need.
π Pierrot is strong but would never hurt you even if you asked him to, so chances of you getting hurt during ykw are very very low. That means anything medical isn't needed.
π but IF there was something from the low chances he would be taking you to Doctor in his tent so he can tend to your wounds bite marks etc.
π Pierrot wouldn't leave the tent though while you're examined and treated. Sure doctor is part of his Family but you are his top priority.
π if you wanted to take a bath he would be joining you even though he is like over what? 6ft? i don't remember but he is very big.
π Incase you did ykw with pierrot in his real form he wouldn't be able to fit, But he would be so so greatful and blushing so hard if you washed him regardless.
π Big and cozy cuddles and hugs. he'd cling to you like a koala and nuzzle his face into your skin.
π Did i mention yet he is BIG on skin to skin contact? he loves hearing your fast heartbeat after you two were done with the deed.
π He would let you stroke his horns if his Bell adoned hat wasn't on his head. I mean can you imagine him doing you and you just hear the stupid bells ringing?
π Sometimes you can hear him purring as he sleep afterwards when you are. But it's subtle and sometimes loud.
π Baby boy Pierrot is getting a 8/10 for me, The minus points because of his strength imo because he is god damn strong and im scared of his voice power.
π« Jester is a hit and miss for me honestly, It feels like he has no experience because he dislikes humans... But when you two did it, it didn't seem like inexperience.
π« You have to be REALLY really close to him to even CONSIDER aftercare, he mainly just saw you as a little mice he kept as a pet.
π« And if he does consider giving you any aftercare, it'll feel like just being tossed a towel towards you and "do it yourself"
π« He sees you as semi capable of handling yourself. So he doesn't really need to be all schmoozie woozie with you. he's not Pierrot.
π« While you would lay exhausted in wherever you decided to do it in his Tent, he would start going over the finances and paperwork of the circus.
π« His job is important to him afterall, otherwise the circus would probably and most likely be in shambles.
π« But Jester would always scan your facial expressions, The mouth may lie but the eyes show the truth behind the sacred words.
π« Tiredness? Barely exists in his world, You can expect him to be tired from the stress and paperwork and having to deal with humans. But after sex? Not really.
π« He does care about you still deep down, Just like most others he would Send you to Doctor if you were injured and such. and it's most likely you will be from him.
π« But if you fall asleep from exhaustion he would linger around for a little while. unable to tear his eyes off of your body.
π« I would give Jester a 3/10 honestly to be fair, Mainly because of the rare aftercare and how he focuses on something entirely else.
Jestyn (Kingdom Of Marionettes)
π Jestyn is The kinkiest little bastard out of everyone here, and he is experienced. Albeit his experience ended up being... Traumatic so to say from Crownus.
π But Jestyn is another Aftercare king, Also a freak in the sheets but he will prepare something for you before you got started.
π He knows you need the support after god knows how many rounds of BDSM it's been, but y'all do know that exhaustion can come very quickly.
π It didn't matter if Jestyn was topping or bottoming he would firstly check up on you before he tends to himself, his majesty always comes first.
π He would caress your arm and back Gently and massage your shoulders, telling you how much he loves you and needs you.
π He'd bathe with you totally, would wash your body and hair if you allow him to. he'll let you wash his hair too if you asked him.
π If you were injured or anything from sexy time he would teleport any items you need straight towards you and patch you right up.
π If you tended to him even if there were no bruises or cracks in his porcelain he would shiver in delight, And just stare at you with hearts in his eyes.
π Jestyn doesn't seem to really get tired afterwards most of the time, But he can get tired from it. Especially if you REALLY really bang him hard enough and long enough.
π Prefers sleeping with you while cuddling, taking care of each other until sunrise or when your shift is over and you need to leave.
π Jestyn gets a 10/10 from me, might be biased or maybe not who knows. But Jestyn is really sweet and cares a lot about you.
Prototype/Ollie (Poppy Platime)
π·οΈ The Prototype is a Virgin, He's inexperienced BUT he is good in the medical field aside from all the operations he's done on the toys.
π·οΈ You had to teach him everything, From the sex itself and to the aftercare and how to properly deal with you.
π·οΈ It was no issue for him to deal with any pains, injuries or scars he has given you from sexy time. He has medical stuff on stand-by given your human statue.
π·οΈ But aftercare itself when it came to comforting you and being there is foreign for him.
π·οΈ He would've left the room after everything was done to give you and him some space to collect your things, afterall he's never done something like this.
π·οΈ But when you ask him to stay and be here with you, He would lower his mechanical spider legs and sit/lay next to you.
π·οΈ Bathing would be difficult since Playtime Co is just a factory basically so they mainly have showers not bathtubs.
π·οΈ He would've bathed you but due to his sharp pointed fingers he refrains himself and just watched from the shadows.
π·οΈ But if he showered with you it would be even more awkward, imagine a giant spider trying to even fit his fead under the shower head.
π·οΈ He'd take care of himself and bring you to one of the abandoned rooms that an orphan once housed and let you sleep.
π·οΈ Prototype totally watches you sleep with curiosity and fascination. And sits in the corner to gusrd you. He doesn't need sleep and doesn't get tired anymore.
π·οΈ I give him a 7/10 due to his medical knowledge and atuff, But overall tending to you is a bit low. He tries but it's very clear he's unused to this.
Fizzarolli (Helluva Boss)
πΈ Nowhere near a Virgin and nowhere near inexperienced when it comes to Aftercare, especially with how often he was with Asmodeus.
πΈ He's so experienced you'd think he originated in the Lust ring with how slippery he is, but luckily he's very attentive.
πΈ since his limbs are out of elastic metals he can just stretch his arms to wherever and quickly get you a glass of water and a cold towel.
πΈ He'd ask if you wanted to use a vibrator to calm down and stimulate yourself out of the tiredness.
πΈ He would get slightly tired, he used to get really tired during his first times but he's used to it by now and adapted.
πΈ Will ask YOU if you wanna take a bath with him or wanna wait while he takes one. If you accept he will cuddle into your back while he washes your hair.
πΈ Fizzarolli would grow even softer if you caressed his broken horns and cleaned him too, especially his body that wasn't destroyed like his chest.
πΈ although his small structure, his raspy voice remains the same even after all of that. and it'll grow raspier when you're having a quiet moment together.
πΈ At the point where you accidentally or purposely got hurt during sex he'll look through the medicine cabinet, and if nothing was left he'd take a trip to Sloth.
πΈ Or he would ask Asmodeus or Blitzo if they have anything for your injuries...But Fizz is pretty proud of his work regardless.
πΈ Froggy boy would prepare the bed for you to sleep in and get cuddly with him and go to sleep together even if he ain't tired.
πΈ I give Fizzarolli a 10/10, good in bed and good in aftercare. And a total cuddle bug to make the night comfortable as hell.
βββ κ° α§ΰ·α§ κ± βββ
This took me so long to write, if this flops im qutting bro ππ If you're wondering why Jester from "Trapped with Jester" isn't here, i got lazy and done with this. i might add him later.
"Why is The Prototype here?!" Listen this is my Fanfic and he is stated clearly as an adult here π if u don't like it don't read it. JUST BLOCK ME u don't have to repost or comment etc, Just block me :3
pairing: prototype x gen!reader
tags: after the events of the train cutscene, alternative ending, reader fearing the prototype, sadistic prototype, i hope people has that same fear that I feel when I was watching C5 cause my heart was beating so fast, short
a/n: after watching chapter 5, i immediately made this (of course with lots of distractions like.. looking at his cutscenes.. and harley sawyer's.. a million of times) also there have been a massive influx of notes on my harley sawyer fic, thank you all!
I also want to clarify that there is age discourse about him and I want this to be a respectful space for discussion, I'm currently unsure on what he truly is but I would love to discuss about him lore and headcanon wise !
Adrenaline makes anybody run on a thready string of their own pulse, ligaments ready to split from the sheer fear of whatever they've seen. Inevitably, they run through the door which death humbly waits; snuffing out the light of hope that shouldn't have existed once anybody walks to this den named "Playtime Co".
You have sunken deep in hell. Even when Giblet's triumph exclaims and Poppy's panicked mutters echo through your head, you know one thing is certain and it didn't need to be said.
In a factory where anything can happen, the tormentor, the shadow of the factory that often fleets to one corner and another had enveloped all of you in an eerie smile of victory.
Giblet could feel the blood pounding in his ears, shaking like a dog kept in the cold rain as he stumbles over the rubble to hide. The false sense of security couldn't steer clear of the high level threat just a shoulder away.
"It can't.. he.."
He couldn't muster another word, choked with fear with his hands gripping his little head tight. Poppy had hurried over the door darting on her knobby legs with all her might, an expected look for her angel to stay right behind her.
It was like a flash, the Prototype fast on your heels until you felt your legs give out.
"No! Don't let him-"
His spider legs crawled close now, inching slowly. He can take as much time as he so pleases when he sees such an expression on your face he finds delightful, his elongated claws just hovering down to your face.
In a brutal swipe, 1006 had slammed Poppy's body back against the doors, her head lolling to the side. An audible crack was heard, it was done to ensure she didn't get away as seen as how she had passed out. There was no time for him to be gentle especially since he had something else on his mind. His eyes then fleet over to you, slightly curled on the ground, palms flat against the ground as you tremble uncontrallably, blood crusting against your nails.
The tips of his talons poke into your cheeks, drawing blood that dripped down to the ground. Lightheadedness starts stabbing your skull. You've faced many trials in this one night indubitably but fear had sucked the fight from your body. He watches your chest heave, up and down. The yellow glow of his eye moves to and fro and you feel the cold, metallic hand against your chest and it makes your throat gasp out a sorry noise of dismay.
"What's wrong? Why has The Butcher stopped?"
"I feel it, that thumping against your skin.."
Cold eyes stare at your form which twists in hysteria, it was nothing like the human that braved through the levels of this cursed factory reeking of blood and grime. He lets out a deep, distorted laugh.
He presses deeper, the sharp metal imprinting into your skin and palpating the area where your weary heart remains . He coos, utterly entertained.
"Ah, your heart beat's picking up. Do I scare you, butcher?"
It was almost pathetic because you cry, howling out in cracks when he holds the back of your body to examine you much closer.
1006 articulates his words with a drawl of somebody playing with their food between their fingers. He watches your head twitch with hesitation to lift up and truly look at him. Truthfully, after the smiley faces of all the Bigger Body initiatives, they hold atleast a modicum of need for their own survival while the Prototype was the main reason their survival had ended. 1006 looked the part of a scary bed time story, one you'll never forget as you grow because that sinister maw filled with teeth that will never unshow itself sets an unsteady rhythm of unease in your heart.
An inkling he had was his appearance which he revelled in. You reacted akin to the children he had the pleasure to meet before sewing them inside out with his meticulous hands.
He gets real close on purpose, a clink and scrape of his legs against the floor. His breath swiping against your face.
"Boo."
That distorted hiss made your sweat trail down your face as you shut your eyes yet you still see him in the dark recesses of your mind. It was sick that he acted the part of a spider tangling you deep in its web except he commits it in such a bestial way. He knew he has won, gripping the prize in his hand until saliva bubble out of your lips.
"No!"
You couldn't stay strong anymore, your body weak from exhaustion. Stamina long gone with an aching body that yearns for consumption that you physically feel yourself grow limp in his hands.
His tactic on frightening you with keeping his face close was heinous, making you flail pathetically. He opened his nightmarish jaw matching a monster ready to devour his meal but what does he do instead?
Poppy's voice came from him in a mocking crackle, he shakes you slightly in his hold, toying with what he had watch scurry and leap throughout the factory. The Prototype thought you'd last longer, however he stares at the fight in your eyes dissipatating like red smoke. Long strands of spit seeps down your lips from the pure fatigue settling into your bones. In a last attempt to get away, you push his face back.
He tilts his head to the side to slightly nip at your finger, those crooked, vile teeth just inches away from snapping off a joint. It instilled more terror into you that this boogeyman will hurt you or worse to get closer to his goal now that he had the Butcher right in his grasp.
Your bloodshot eyes fleet to Poppy, her precious face already so shattered by the horrors of the night and Giblet who kept his head down in the precense of the feared experiment. Teeth bite down harder on your tendons, moving to include the rest of your hand. 1006 seemed to want only your eyes on him. Those trembling eyes he had begun to savour struggling to stay open.
"Don't be scared, I can finally fix you."
The pallor in your face deeply seetles, a jeer back at tea time with a mighty guffaw rumbling out of him. You felt yourself getting carried off, along with Poppy whom he stuffed into your bloodied jacket to fit snugly for the ride.
A soft, uncharecteristic chuckle soon follows, he watches you lose consciousness in his arms, tracing the drool on your chin and letting it slip between his claws. Poppy nestles onto your chest so devastatingly at peace, moving ever so slightly to the Prototype's janky movements.
Giblet looks up once when he heard the telltale shift of clinking, he grips his chest now that the inevitable is here. The Prototype took you and Poppy deep into his lairs, doing god knows what. It made all hope that had remained inside him shatter since it takes him back to square one.
With a haunting trill, he stalks into the darkness, finally with the two possessions he wished to have in a very long time. A lot of emotions run through his disfigured body but what he felt at that moment matched his mad, petrifying face; mania.
Being The Prototype's Orphan Obsession Would Be Like This...
A/N: Since you were not ultra-specific on what kind of fic you want I took it to a very lovely weird place :)
Just a sidenote: every character I write fanfic for is as close to canon as possible. I don't fluff up villains beyond recognition.. but then I don't need to π
CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS AHEAD!!
πβ’ This guy here is some very specific type of yandere π« And I'm not talking about "iLySm i would KILL for YoU π". I'm talking about: "I have built this sanctuary. I will not let you throw it away." That's the Prototype.
πβ’ Now if I've got this right and correct me if I'm wrong, Prototype was originally an orphan called Oliver, adopted by Elliot Ludwig, only to be experimented on as the first in efforts directed solely to Poppy's benefit. Highly intelligent, highly annoying, borderline unstoppable.
πβ’ So with you on the scene? Let me first break down why I've chosen orphan instead of an ex-employee. Because, put simply, you might as well just be the Player if you're an ex-employee and see how they're treated by him in Chapter 5. Or if you're an ex-employee that happened to help or show kindness to him before, you need to watch the restricted salvation vid Mob leaked, because from that you can see the only gratitude you'll get is being stuffed inside a toy and then you're even π
πβ’ An orphan, though? That's different. Absolutely undeniably different.
πβ’ Ollie was an orphan. Ollie was adopted. Ollie was used. Ollie was abandoned. So, if you're an orphan yourself, brought up by the warped, sickly sweet mentality that Playtrime trains into the heads of their young, something about you must be at least slightly different. Theo was "troubled." What are you?
πβ’ It's not necessarily a romance. And not really a childhood sweethearts kind of trope, because that would be flattening things. Experiment 1006 was said to be extremely, unusually intelligent. He's scarily obsessive. He put forward the Hour of Joy, he's the dictator and the as of yet undefeated string-puller deep in the heart of Playtime Co's abandoned factory. It'll never be just a simple crush or fixational friendship. It's a lot of things, compressed into one huge, orderly mess.
πβ’ Ollie chose to connect to Poppy via telephone. He can mimic and personify anyone he chooses. So with you, he might've used the same method to meet, if it was effective enough for you specifically. Otherwise, there might be notes turning up under the pillow of your bunkbed in Home Sweet Home. Or maybe you have an "imaginary friend" like Theo did. And if you and Theo were around near the same time, then chances are Catnap will be a frequent shadow to pretty much anything you do, anywhere you are.
πβ’ You'll be told repeatedly that you're special. The Prototype doesn't hide his fixations. He leans on them. Tests them out. Builds around them. Then builds for them.
"They won't make you go to the Game Station today. Play with me instead. For you, I'll always be here, right behind you."
πβ’ Quite literally π§ββοΈ
πβ’ That's usually the peak of it. Instructions that read as encouragement and persuasion through little written notes or phone calls in the night, eyes on you in dark corners of the class while Miss Delight teaches. If another orphan picks on you, it does not last. It lasts that one and only time. And then their number coincidentally comes up greenlit for experimentation.
πβ’ But then The Hour of Joy happens. And things change.
πβ’ Maybe the day The Hour takes place is on your birthday. Things that seem coincidental at a glance, except you can do nothing but stare at them. The voices stop echoing, the notes stop coming, and sure enough, while you and the rest of the orphans are hiding, they're all taken down to the pit of the factory to get to their Better Place... leaving you behind. You, The Bigger Bodies, a few struggling surviving Critters, and The Prototype.
πβ’ If your feelings towards "Ollie" change once you come face-to-face, if, when you realise that those sweet, glitching voices actually belong to a mechanical, cunning, spiteful failsafe of an experiment, you would have rather steered well clear and kept your innocent attention and kindness to yourself rather than letting him remember every single instance you gave it...
πβ’ It doesn't change a thing.
πβ’ The more you push, the more you will be restrained. The more you deny, the more you will be coerced into accepting. The more you shout, the more you lose your voice. If your words are anything but what they were before, he will not take them seriously. That is the simple truth of the matter.
πβ’ This "paradise" he's making of the factory was inspired in ways only he processed and allowed, solely by you. Every time you smiled at something he said or did for you before, it made him just as determined to craft his pleasure into the dying walls of Playtime. All the white noise of the creatures around you must stay white noise.
"Otherwise, we'll be left with nothing. And infinity will be lonely."
πβ’ Or maybe he's not trying hard enough. There must be a reason besides him that you want to leave. And so he'll give you what he thinks you'll need. What he's decided. If you keep running, he'll carefully craft a case, a holding cell, filled with the Cat's red fog to keep you calm. If you're nervous and big-eyed, you'll never be alone anywhere in the factory.
πβ’ Catnap, while he's still there, will be the most frequent Body to keep you company when The Prototype expects it. Riding slowly high up on a ginormous purple cat's back is definitely an experience. Huggy is a guard, and if there's any part of the factory that is not for you, he'll be the one standing right in your way so that you'll know it.
πβ’ You have to understand that he is not soft in the traditional way. But then he isn't emotionless either. He was human once, a boy once, with a found family, almost, even if he doesn't choose to dwell on it, or admit to it aloud. But to The Prototype, you are the only pure thing left in this world. His world. And so this world will be a safe shrine of a home for you both. The only home.
πβ’ The toys left behind see you and hesitate. Even if you're the gentlest, most caring person the factory has ever seen - which is undoubtedly the case - they would rather keep their distance when there are eyes everywhere than be in the red zone of being the Prototype's next target.
πβ’ He will make it all better. He can fix you.
πβ’ If we're going to love language and affection, the top of the list would definitely be quality time. He's always, always there. Inescapable. And if he's not physically there, his power goes far beyond his physical self. He knows every inch of Playtime's factory, and has a tether on almost every living toy in its depths. They'll talk. Because they're starving.
πβ’ For The Prototype, softening is rooted in priority. Softness for him would look like moving you out of danger first. Deftly attacking others mid-sentence if they threaten you. Adjusting plans slightly, or sometimes recreating them altogether, to keep you intact. Ignoring reports until your name is mentioned. Dozens of analysis books that are volumes analysing you. Keeping broken things you've touched.
πβ’ Not praise. Not warmth. Just preferential protection. And if something collapses in the factory, he wouldn't be glitching your name. He would already be there.
πβ’ If you happen to be a little more cooperative with The Prototype's plans and settled as much as you can be on his obsession with you, it just makes things all the more easier for him. It still doesn't change anything. You're still watched, studied, talked to through long hours until he decides you're tired, and Red Smoke starts filling the room.
πβ’ He's not much of a hugger... mainly because it's difficult to do that and not be basically impaled π« but he still doesn't ask before he does things. He won't hurt you - not on purpose - but there's nothing stopping him from picking you up and relocating or moving you around however he decides to in any moment. He knows his power, and he's confident in it.
πβ’ You'll be well-looked after, in the sense that you'll have more than enough food to eat while the rest of the factory's toys struggle. If you offer any of your food, or provisions you're given, to those who are going without up above, it will almost definitely be noticed. And depending on who you've given it to, you'll either be punished in a specific way for it, or just seen as more proof of being such a pure, perfect being.
πβ’ And if anyone touches you, especially any Outsider...
