"My heart wants you, Blake." Mary posted. "But just not going to be reasonable for us to get involved like that."

So she preferred someone with a 'real' job and a 'real' career? You were about to post that you could just have a hookup relationship - perhaps even casual sex if that's what she wanted.

But that's exactly what the Doll would be for. A sort of gigolo, really.

"Alright. Thank you for telling me all of this, Mary." you concluded.

"No worries." she said. "It's taken me a lot of thinking too. It's difficult. A bit weird too, honestly. But this is what I think would be the best for the both of us."

---

You completed the order for her, and soon got $800 more in your account. You also had another $200 from Antonio, which gave you a total balance of $1650. If you were going to buy something, you would have to do it online now, and if it was Doll-related, you could just get it from Marcus's the next morning.

I don't think thats particularly responsible considering what we've seen with prior "enhancement" obsessed dolls. Plus I believe that it'll be more rewarding for Akira to be able to purchase her own cosmetic upgrades and feel like her work is improving her life in a tangible way. (I do selfishly want her to make some improvements, but we should monitor it so she stays safe and feels empowered by it)

You decide to buy both book courses related to shops, as you breathed in deeply, feeling a bit betrayed about this all, especially in regard to the job thing. You knew that Mary could allow herself to sometimes be pretty blunt with you, because of the trust she had built with you over all of these years, so you knew that she had been honest. But honest or not, it wasn't a reason which you considered to be entirely right, because your job was a real career choice in its own way. However, you could understand how she could think that 'real' equated to 'stable'.

---

You arrived back at Marcus's the next morning, and you set aside a box of breast-enhancer for Akira, as you commented to the owner guy that you might want to get it later. You weren't entirely set on the idea of getting one for her yet. As you put the box behind the counter, you noticed how it had a big red "not apt for human use" sign on it on the back, signalling how there was a large risk of it causing sudden, massive cancer after about 30 to 35 years after application, which was well beyond the lifespan of a Doll.

A client arrived, and soon sheepishly asked Akira about where he could get the cheapest Dolls. Akira scratched her head and figured that the standard $5000 Dolls were the cheapest around for most things, although second-hand Dolls were cheaper, but not sold here. You figured that you could make a bit of money by proxying between this guy and a second-hand Doll dealer. Plus, someone interested in Dolls outside of Marcus's regular target market was always a good find for your personal business, so you approached him.

After introducing yourself, and him saying that his name was Tom, you asked "Second-hand dolls for what purpose or with what kind of design?"

"To use as test subjects." he replied. "We have certain items we'd like to perform some, well, lethal tests on. Dolls could be a good substitute for, well, the traditional stuff."

You nodded, trying to hold your cringe. You weren't too fond of the idea of using Dolls with the intent of getting them killed. "I see."

Yeah, we have ballistics gelatin and simulations for a reason. Research ethics may or may not have been entirely thrown out the window in this setting but that doesn't mean we have to feed the snuff film industry (which I bet loves Dolls..) Heck, can't they just get Doll bodies without any hardware installed if they _really_ need that accurate of a test? Might even be cheaper.

>Write in
Talk with Akira about it, how we think her desire for a much larger bust was something your dad put in to tease her with, and how we don't want it to end up like the lips girl. Well support her decision to mod within reason, and if she wants we'll remove that personality setting. Maybe she'll want to see how she feels with it gone? It could be a combination of other factors, your dad's programing just being one of many.

You're welcome.
>Claim that you unfortunately can't help him further.

"Ah, unfortunately no, I can't recommend that. Not only for the moral implications, many doll models these days are arguably sentient beings, but their physiology is frequently made without long-term use in mind, and as such their bodies won't always react in an accurate way if you're looking to human comparisons. Look at some of the warning labels on the gene-mods here for example, a doll will take them perfectly fine but they'd either maim or at least significantly reduce the lifespan of a human. If you're looking for any degree of accuracy in your results, I'd advise pigs. They're cheaper than most dolls, and their physiology is incredibly close."

Actually talk with her first so we know how far she intends to take this apparant obsession. Discuss the rational pros and cons.
Remember she is supposed to be childlike and it is generally frowned upon to encourage every childish whim. They need to learn about delayed gratification and responsibility etc.

I say we try to get terminally ill or really old Dolls, at least. Even if we are selling to the Mengele of Dolls, they only live to be, like, 15 years, so we're providing a net positive in life span, right? Besides, if we don't sell, someone else will.

>>988995
>>989014
>They need to learn about delayed gratification and responsibility etc.
Point. Remember when she had to be explicitly told not to masturbate herself to death?

>>988995
agreed

This is hard to write then the vote-majority changes so much lol. I've been writing for the tits option because it was in the lead before and its currently like that as well, so I'll go with that.

>>989040

To be fair, it was her first time. I bet most people who just discovered masturbation did it until their penises started to hurt and only then started to do it with more care.

And because she was aware she was a doll, she simply found logical that you could find a way to make her masturbation not be exhausting. I think we can assume she would've eventually stopped by herself even without us once she found there was a moment it stopped being pleasuring and become an exhausting experience.

You decide to arrange contacts with Tom. As you exchanged emails and phone numbers, you internally hoped that you'd be able to find and get enough terminal-stage dolls for him. This was some really shady stuff you'd be doing, morally, but perhaps you could arrange things that could work out for everyone. You could at least try, you figured.

"Please handle your expectations accordingly though." you advised him. "They're not designed to live out in long-term, because technology to make them live that long simply doesn't exist yet. So the rest of them has been designed to some degree according to that."

Tom nodded. "No worries. We've taken that into account. Thank you though."

---

You then decided to give Akira the breast enhancer, because it was something she had been wanting for a very long time. And a decision you had been mulling for a very long time now too. Plus, like this, it could be made clear that the idea of modding herself wasn't entirely taboo.

At lunchtime, after having your meals, you kept Akira back with you, and you showed her the little breast enhancer box.

"This is for you." you said.

You could see her eyes slowly spread wide open, until she started to tear up.

"But!" you then said, and retreated the box. "You h-... Please don't cry Akira, what's wrong...?"

"...Th-thank you..." she stammered, as she rubbed her eyes with a dainty fist. "....I'm just happy."

You chuckled, and caressed her cheek. "But you have to be responsible, OK? This is pretty strong stuff, but if you use it well and properly, it should be all fine. Alright?"

She nodded. "Okay Blake." she said, happily with determination.

You contained a chuckle. You never thought that something aesthetic like this would mean so much to someone. But you guessed that a parallel situation from her perspective could be if you, as a guy, had a terribly squeaky voice. It would make you feel insecure, and being able to fix that would be a massive relief.

"How do you, like... apply this stuff though?" you wondered, scanning the box's outside.

"It's a few pills I need to take at certain times." she replied.

"Oh, alright. How did you know?"

"...I research." she meeped.

(cont)

---

You figured out what pills she needed to take, and she insisted to take the first set right now. You complied, and she held the two pink pills up, with a bottle of water in the other hand.

"Akira is just a late bloomer!!!" she exclaimed, and then gulped the pills down.

You play-clapped and then left with her out of the back room, back to Marcus's store.

---

There weren't many clients this evening, leaving you with some free time to talk to Marcus and Izumi, or perhaps even your new contacts over the phone, outside (you were just a volunteer after all, not an employee).

We didn't have enough money for a proper eye.

>>Contact Kuma, the whale, and ask about how Miya is going to try to get him to open up more to you.

There's mad cash there if he can get us in contact with other whales.

>>989245
So we should spend the money we do have now instead of saving it up for her eye? Eyes > Tits.

>>989251

It was just 1/20 of the cost of an eye and will keep Akira happy for a while. Unless after the next payment we are exactly $100 dollars short of getting the eye, there will be nothing to regret.

Maybe see if there's something he wished the store offered? Maybe we should spend more time on the Doll boards looking at his competition too, if we can make a good recommendation to him I'm sure that would get him to open up to us more.

>>989187
>Contact Tom, the man who needed Dolls for lethal experiments, and establish more details with him.
We need to now what kind of experiments, and for whom. Does he test guns, drugs, snuff film-but-we-says-it's-for-science? For the military, the mafia, etc.
Mostly so we can provide better services. And possibly to program them before shipping, to not feel pain for example (and put a password on it, in case we have doubts).

I'd like >Talk to Izumi and ask about the further differences between herself (first edition Doll) and modern Dolls too, to know more about dolls

>>989300

We're not upper class enough for these whales, and lower tier is already spammed with offers for cheap stuff.
We need to at least get Akira an eye, he clearly looked down on us. A vulgar eye patch, our doll is some kind of second hand sea scum to them.

Thinking of the long term here. With Tom as a friend. We can afford to get the prototypes for potential revolutions in Doll Technology.

Did we get the hormone treatment or the genemod?
Asking because chances are the first doesn't cause cancers which might become a problem if we want to keep akira for a long time.

>>990374
It's the cancer-inducing one.
Anons didn't mind as long as there's boobs.

Intriguing question, given that a doll's brains are primarily hardware, could their consciousness be transferred to a new body, without the teleportation dilemma, where the "original" technically dies?

So cancer-inducing for a human, and if a doll even gets cancer, they'll already be 15 years dead by then.

>>990481
Fair enough.

>>990454
I thought about that too.

>>990454
Not really.
The problem is every processor WIL behave slightly differently. We are close to perfect in manufacturing them, but the small imprefections in our production devices will always end up creating small imperfections giving each processor slightly different working flaw.
That might end up making the transference itself flawed and essentially slightly chancing Akira each time...

There is no strictly best choice. ITS YOUR CHOICE, SON. The bigger they are, the happier she will be (she wants giant boobs), but it will cost $, physical performance, and aesthetic appeal (for a portion of people, this is pretty subjective, as what's considered aesthetically ideal here varies a lot.).

So having her be ridiculously sized has its advantages, reasonably sized has its advantages, and having her be flat has its advantages. And each their disadvantages too.

>>990454
Partially. The organic, primitive brain part can't be copied (although trying to find another, very similar host, is entirely possible), so her instinctual reflexes and drives (libido, hunger, etc) will be different. So even if you copy all of her hardware and software into a new Doll brain, it won't be perfectly identical. The difference would be like how two different (but very similar) people can be actors for the same character with the exact same personality but the result is subtly different.

>>989297
WHEN SHE GETS ENOUGH BOOB-GRO

>>990374
Cocktail combination of both, playing into each approach's strengths and their combined synergies.

As for keeping Akira for a long time there's also the problem of her organic brain core going senile. It's designed to just last 15 years or 20 years at most (http://animals.mom.me/average-long-pigs-live-6144.html).

If $250 gets the cheap camera, what's the higher end in synthetic cameras? I guess some camera with a combination of IR+visible, high dynamic range, wide angle/zoom, nifty image stabilisation; laser depth measurement; and/or sleek-ass casing could be afforded for less than the $2k biological one.

>>991097

About $2k as well because it would need to be custom/commissioned (but 'power-wise' it would be better than an organic eye because it would have the bonuses that you've put. Not as natural though). I'll add it to the list of potential purchases for next time.

The $250 eyes are "cheap" because needing to 'patch' Dolls because of spontaneous failures is common and not everyone is available to pay $2k for an organic replacement. They're lower-end stuff.

Tallying and writing rn. I may be able to run today, but I don't know yet, but I know for sure that I'll be able to write next update ready in advance rn.

You decide to go talk to Marcus about the long-term plans of his Doll shop.

"Well, first of all I want to pay off my debts for setting this up." he claimed, after you brought up the question. "After that..."

He gazed across his store.

"...Perhaps I could open a big website or something. Or have a repair service. That would be nice." he said. "But I'd be more than happy to just have a decent store at all. Once I have that, I won't need anything else. I'll be the happiest man alive! The dream come true!"

You chuckled warmly. He seemed to be a bit of a conformist.

---

"Daaaamn. Blake, come look at this." Marcus told you, as he browsed through his mobile a bit before his store closed. "You know the State Dates, right? The speed-dates the government has."

"State Dates?" you wondered. You had heard a bit about them. The Japanese Government had been organizing them for a very long while now.

"Yeah, those. They want to make it compulsory for Doll Shops to put adverts of them on the front or something. It hasn't passed yet, but it's pretty likely that they're going to do it. Look, the people are going craaazy." he replied, and then showed you his phone with a bunch of angry comments on a live chatroom.

"Whoa."

"Yeps. I personally don't have anything against the State Dates" he said. "Heck, I think they're a good thing, because of the birthrates and all. And look at me, I'm a Doll Shop owner! But forcing Doll Shops to put an advert of them on the front is, eh. I don't like it. I don't think its the best move."

You nodded. Then as the conversation died with the silence, you strolled off to check on the Dolls again, before Marcus interrupted your stride.

"I'm going to go to one of those." he admitted. "If you'd like, you can come with."

"Sound interesting, but I'll think about it." you replied. "When would it be?"

"This evening!!" he said, a bit nervous. "I was planning on going a bit after closing the shop today."

You then went to a side and started to Google up info regarding the 'State Dates' on your mobile. For the most part, you found the opinions were lukewarm at best, along that you generally filled in a card with your name, age and job info. You silently chuckled at yourself at the prospect of seeing the women's reactions when they found out that you were into the Doll business. You looked back at Marcus, who looked back at you with enthusiasm. He seemed to really want for you to go with him. Your alternative was to stay home and study, or make some arrangements with your contacts.

Anon, this is a bigger thing than you think.
Whole ALUs can get irrepairably damaged and transistors can malfuntion while building processors. The only reason this isnot that big of a deal is programmsbeing not that long lasting and evolving. The same dilemma happenswhen you would try to get the conciousness of one person into anotherones head. Even ifit would work, the different brainstructures, molecules at the moment of transition would cause a person to behave radically different then the original after some time.
Yes this might be dimmed with processors, but every small deviatoion in timing or calculatio would cascade outwards, while the original difference would cause more. The Cascade would endlesse perpetuate itselfand influence other processes in that metallic brain.
You are talking about a complex system emulating a complex system. This is the whole reason a brain is so incalculable in specifics and it is a problem that only gets worse the more advanced the hardware gets.

Also, a few small unites malfunctioning does not end up comprimising the speed of a modern multicore processor by any degree you'll ever note. The specifics of processor architecture are also a reason why computers of the same manufacture can break under different loads of overclocking.

>>991540
I thought something like this until an EE corrected me, CPUs have to use a tiny little bit of synchronization technology called a phase locked loop that cancels out those minor hardware deviations. Anything that can't be fixed by things like that becomes a catastrophic failure and either that pert needs to be blocked off or the processor needs to be scrapped.

With wetware it's a whole different story though... good thing that the wetware part of the doll brain is pretty much just acting like a MMU (Meat Management Unit) moving it as commanded and keeping things running smoothly enough. Trying to replicate the neuronal interconnections is going to be Fun, let alone the synaptic balances and such.

Should we not be able to go then I suppose we can go to the next event.

I fell like we should ask Akira about the whole eye stuff (if she wants it fixed and how) when we have a moment. personally i'd prefer some real fooking high tech with IR night vision and all that jazz because you know, she's supposed to be a bodyguard and all but given how we seem to like the whole let Akira decide herself thing lets ask her first.

"Sorry, but I've got work to do." you said. "Thank you though."

"Ah, well. Alright." Marcus replied.

---

Work ended, and overall, Akira seemed to be well-established. Her job was pretty simple: To be eye-candy, a bit of a test subject and to help customers with any questions they may have. Back home, you started to read your Doll Vet course, as Akira started to cook up some spaghetti and heat some meatballs and sauce in the microwave. Your Doll was alright for basic cooking like this.

As you ate, you could see Akira giddily sneaking peeks into her shirt collar as she ate. You sigh-chuckled to yourself.

"How're they going?" you asked.

"T-the what?" she stammered, immediately looking up to you.

"The boobs."

"Aaah!" she nervously chuckled. "Going alright."

"Taking the pills?"

"O-of course! And at the right times!"

"Okay." you nodded, and continued to eat the pasta. You sighed again. It felt a bit awkward to ask about this kind of things. But you figured that it would be better to ask and know than to not ask at all.

---

You continued to study your course in bed, with Akira at your side, hugged up to your body and nuzzling your torso. Every now and then she'd pucker her lips and mewl until you gave her a lengthy kiss (she'd just hum-beg for more otherwise), and then continue to semi-doze off beside you. She had her body at an odd angle though, as if she was trying to avoid contact between her chest and you. It was further confirmed as you tried to tug her closer, but she interrupted the attempt with more kissing.

You gave her a peek. It was hard to tell from your position, but from what you had seem earlier, she had already grown two small mounds. A nice pair of A-cups, you guessed.

She was ashamed about them or something? Or they were just sensitive?

Her lack of confidence lead to that she was hard to read and talk to in this kind of situations, so you had to guess based on what you knew about her. So how should you deal with the issue? Or better just let it slide? Would it be a roadblock in progressing your relationship with her?

>>991959

I guess her being a bodyguard model was just a thing for dad to fulfill his denial fetish by giving her a bodyguard-fit body and then tease and make her crave what other models take for granted.

For what little we know, she was just his plaything and didn't really do much bodyguarding and because we aren't exactly a VIP, I doubt we have enough enemies or be an attractive enough target for kidnappers and thieves to warrant having a bodyguard.

>>991998
but when we achieve our goal of becoming one of the big fish in the doll biz we WILL need someone to protect our ass so why not start now?

"Chest a little sensitive tonight?" you asked.

She meeped and curled up a bit.

"It's alright." you chuckled warmly, and stroked her hair. "I just want to know what's up."

She shook her head.

You sighed. You knew this would happen, but you were optimistic.It would just take some time for her to open up.

"Puberty was hard for me too." you admitted. "Voice changing and growing hair in weird places. Man."

Akira's head leaned up.

"If there's anything odd, just let me know." you said. "I'm studying the Doll Vet stuff too you know."

She nodded.

"They feel weird. B-but they're nice!" Akira admitted. "...They feel like extra things under my skin."

You smiled and stroked her hair. "That's normal." you said.

She nodded again, and then curled up again as you caressed her head. She hadn't told you everything you figured, but this was good enough.

---

The next day, you were both back at Marcus's for your last day with Akira. As usual, the Doll set up at the store's entrance, and few clients came in. However, right after lunch, you found your Doll stopping a client from leaving.

"No stealing!" she exclaimed. "You've got boxes you haven't paid for! In your backpack!"

The robber was a large young woman, who started to teeter side to side nervously as she was stopped.

"I... I...The alarm didn't sound! Just let me leave, please!" she replied.

"No!" Akira insisted.

After cornering the girl as Marcus and Izumi arrived, she eventually conceded and handed over boxes of steroids she had put into a little bag laced with tin foil.

"Why would you steal... Steroids?" Izumi asked. "Like, there's better stuff to steal."

"I...Please just let me go with them! I need them for my Doll!" she said.

"Why?" you asked.

"None of your busi...." She started off. "I really need to win a fight." she then conceded. "My Doll is a fighter. Uh, like a gladiator of a sort? I really, really need to win, and I'm already in a lot of debt."

"Doll fights?" you asked.

"Yeah. You know, like... Robot battles? But Dolls."

"Wow."

"Yeah. Can I leave now, please?" she then pleaded.

Marcus stepped in. "I'm not going to sue you or anything, just hand over the stolen goods, please." he said in a very authoritarian tone with a hand on his hip, until she handed them over. "Thank you."

You then saw the girl just stand there in defeat, until she started to quickly dig into her pockets to get a cigarette and light it, and stare into the ground. Aside from that incident, there weren't many other clients, giving you time to advance in other aspects as well.

You decide to finish studying your basic Doll Vet course as you waited for any issues that needed your help to arise, leaving the Doll-fighter to her own.

For the most part, the shop gang seemed like they had it all under control, leaving you with a lot of time for yourself. Akira had adapted well.

Later that afternoon, Miya arrived with Kuma, and Marcus quickly greeted them. The massive Doll seemed to be even taller, and her curves even more proportionally exaggerated, with her bust and hips larger, and her waist narrower.

He ordered more growth products, however with your now complete basic knowledge of Doll medicine, you knew that just spamming her growth products wasn't the best approach for Kuma's own financial interested. But it was very lucrative for business. The reason was that instead of getting a bunch of height growth stuff, he should just get a modification for Miya's pituitary gland, and have her undergo "natural" gigantism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantism), just like André the Giant or other cases. However, companies that supplied Dolls and modifications for them didn't support that kind of stuff, so if you were going to do it, you would have to jerry rig something yourself. There was also the issue of that once you set the gigantism through her pituitary gland, she would grow indefinitely until it was removed, and that could be very dangerous as her growth and size would tax her body until she died. You figured you could just remove it though, but that had a chance of failure as well.

It was risky, but it could save him a lot of cash in the long run, at least when it came to his height budget. You guesstimated that you could pull if off with about $1000 worth of materials and tools, and you could haggle a price with Kuma for the service, around $500 or so. However, there was always that risk factor, which you couldn't calculate yourself, because you had never pulled it off before. It was just a novel idea you had.

It would really hurt Marcus's business though, as the whale would no longer need to "whale" into his store for that kind of stuff.

That aside, now that you've volunteered for these three days and showed Marcus your worth and skill, you could try to get a job here. You gave it some thought.

We are buddies with Marcus, let's not do anything to upset him or damage his business, and after all you have to remember that Akira works there! Let's just leave that whole scenario alone and keep both contacts of the whale and the shopowner, and keep Akira's job stable.

>Don't apply and continue on your own accord.

There's nothing wrong with working an honest job and all, but our life's goal is to be one of the main forces behind doll progress and innovation/how people view Dolls if not THE man to be the absolute head of all things Doll. Our time is much better spent all in learning more about how to deal with Dolls, setting up our business, and making contacts and taking jobs which will make us even more contacts.

>>995343

This looks like a good idea. If Marcus asks us not to maybe we can look for another customer with similar needs; performing original modifications will be an excellent way to become a player in the Doll world. A finders fee for Marcus also seems like a fair deal.
>>1000823
I think that just suggesting it to Marcus isn't going to upset him, and this way if someone comes in looking for a mod he can't provide, maybe he'll think of us. We should however be tactful about it, and make it clear that we won't hold it against Marcus if he says no.
