"Hey, Cynthia? You ever wonder why Steph and Lena got up and walked out after the event, but Jenna here is still a regular mannequin? She's plenty real lookin. Seems odd she got left out."

"Flora, Jenna is... Special. The Event affected regular, mindless objects."

"So...?"

"Jenna here isn't quite mindless. She's not always all there, not if the vibrator embedded in her is on, but she can think like you or me. She used to be a customer here. When she heard me talking about buying another mannequin, she begged for me to buy her."

"What? Really?"

"I was shocked too, but she showed me this site for 'the mannequin company' and she had a profile on it. She was hot, so I figured 'what the hell?' a week later she was plastic and delivered dismantled in a large wooden crate. She's been a fixture here ever since."

"That's... Unbelievable boss."

Chime

"I'll get it boss. Welcome to Catching Rays? How can I help you?"

"Are you Flora?"

"Yup. Have you heard about my skill with matching people to swimsuits?"

"I have. And your boss thinks you're better off modelling than selling. She's arranged for a photoshoot, pick your suit and follow me."

"Cynthia! You should have told me! I'm not as made up as I could be!"

"They'll help get you ready Flora. Not too worry."

One week later

"And she still went with me after that?"

"Flora wasn't too bright. Maybe if there's another event, she'll come to life again."
