Username: Isolationism
Doll Name: My name is Cecil Vernon.
Just call me Cecil.
Shadow Name: My trusty amigo is called Poe.
He is my best friend. He's been through a lot
with me, and I really owe him, even though
he's basically just a blob.
9:43am
The door swung open and slammed against the wall as Cecil strode in, collapsing onto the small, pastel sofa that was placed neatly in the centre of the room, facing a small television that was dribbling white noise. Except for the television, there were no sounds except the odd chattering, which was fairly distant. Cecil glared towards the piece of stuttering, monochromatic technology in front of him, then grabbed the delicate remote and threw it straight at the screen.
He sighed, frustrated, and after a minute of grumbling and groaning to himself silently, he broke down. It was the day before Valentine's, which should be exciting, right? Problem was, he had no idea what he wanted to get for his crush. He had known this particular lady for a long time, and adored her. Occasionally they would seem like a married couple, fussing each other one minute and arguing the next. Honestly, they were the best of friends. Cecil didn't dare to tell anyone how much he truly loved her, and that this level of affection went way beyond friends for him.
12:03pm
Most of the morning that should have been spent looking for something romantic was spent in bed. He couldn't think. He didn't want to be alive. His mind was tortured by the exhaustion, lack of time, lack of motivation... He was sick of feeling this way over 'some stupid crush'. In the meanwhile, his shadow had him surrounded, plastering him in different patterns on both arms to try and cheer him up. Although it didn't work, it gave Cecil an idea.
'I know, I can just get her some tattoos... she'll like that, right?', he thought to himself, scratching his neck and chin. Should he? Maybe. How would he tattoo her? With all of these questions springing up with his realisation, he decided to nap on it.
'4:16. PM. I should probably stop lounging..' he sighed, murmuring to his shadow senselessly. Rocking back and forth for some minutes in deep thought, he finally got up, manoeuvring out of the house casually, trying to leave everything as neatly as it was before he entered aggressively much earlier in the day. He wouldn't usually come so far away from the dollhouse unless he wanted to write, draw, or be alone, but this time it was different. He had the perfect idea for his love, and she would swoon for it and then he could take her in his arms, kiss and love her, tell her how gorgeous she was... He was too obsessed. Realistically, he had absolutely no idea where he was going, and knew that it would take him a long time to find what he wanted.
8:54pm
It was nearly 9pm, and he figured he probably shouldn't be out for this long. However, he aimlessly continued to jog about, getting further and further from his home. Eventually, he found it. The local tattoo parlour. They HAD to have an ink pen. Finding a way in through the vents, he took the smallest one he could find, and scrambled back out and slumped back to the neighbouring house, in which his love was living. By the time he got back it was nearly 11pm, so she couldn't be awake, right? He did want it to be a surprise, after all. He sneaked into the house, snaking around the furniture and vulnerable-looking areas of the floor, making his way up to her bedroom. Success! She was indeed sleeping. He held up the pen, trying to urge his shadow to equalise the weight of it with the force Cecil had to use to carry it, then he began to lower it carefully. Pressing the nib against her chest gently, nothing happened but a small droplet of ink which had seeped out onto the female's collarbone area. Sighing, he tried to press harder, pressing it against her until...
Crack.
Sh*t.
Her entire chest cracked, creating a pale stained-glass-window of the same pastel pink color of her skin. Cecil stopped and panicked, tears welling up in his eyes immediately. He ruined her. He had no idea what to do, and shoved the pen away, trying to run out of the house as quickly as she could while she, also shocked and terrified, tried to regain her breath to get up. Cecil sprinted back to his own home, shutting himself away in one of the empty rooms, crying and gagging with terror as he trembled violently, sinking into a ball on the floor.
4:39am
Cecil had been sat up crying in this same corner for nearly 7 hours.
'How can someone sit up crying this long over a girl? She isn't going to love you now, you idiot. You should just throw yourself in the trash, instead, so that she never has to deal with you again.' he mumbled to himself, among other things. He sank even closer to the floor, ashamed of what he had done. All for one stupid Valentines? What an idiot. Composing himself, he got up, clambering out of the house and vanishing.
11am
The girl was still in her house, trying to put on some tight-fitting clothes; she was also devastated about what had happened, and this was evident in her expression. Though she was still beautiful, her torso, to her, was just limp. She had no idea what to do. Suddenly, a knock at the door was heard. She tensely wandered over to answer, opening it a few inches. Outside was Cecil, but he was very different. He held in his left hand his right forearm, with a box of chocolates and an apology note attached. Worriedly he shoved his arm carefully in her face, urging her to take it but being too scared of her to speak. Before she could answer back after holding onto his arm, now even more horrified, he had ran again. Hiding away, he kept his distance. Some years passed and he was mostly secluded to his own space with himself and his shadow Poe, and after a long time, he started to get over it, almost forgetting about the girl and his arm. He more or less treated it as an accident that happened when he fell and got attacked by a dog.
