Hutch

Balancing his grocery bags on his hip, Ari dug his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the front door, calling out a greeting to Mosaic. The Lust doll kicked the door closed behind him and headed to the kitchen to put everything away.  “Ari, come here when your hands are free, please!”  It didn’t sound like an emergency, so Ari took the time to put the perishables a...

Hutch glanced up as the bell over the door to the shop jingled and a familiar face entered. They smiled seeing Eros make his way over to the counter, a pile of Erose in his lap, his own perched on his shoulder. “Welcome, Eros. I see you've brought along a handful of friends.” Eros nodded, pushing himself close enough that he could move them all up onto the counter. “I need your help with something.

“Alright, I can do this.” Clover grinned to himself, standing in front of the Imporium. He’d decided to get an imp of some sort to keep him company after watching a friend’s for a weekend and enjoying having a little guy follow him around.

The only creature that currently seemed to reside here was a little black...

“Are you serious?” Ari had set out three different outfits on his bed, laid out as he tried to decide what to wear for his shift tonight. He snatched Trinket up off of the ground, where she had been pulling a shoe under the bed. Ari held the Ribbow up in front of his face, looking into what counted for the imp’s eyes. “Why do you do this? Don’t I treat you just as well...
