    Summary

    Playtime Co. used to be the gold standard when it came to what a toy company should be. Every product was a hit, every side venture went somewhere, and it had a positive name in every home.

    Fast forward to 1995 and there’s seemingly a new lawsuit every week, their stock prices have plummeted, they’re getting beaten out by rival toy companies, and the media is theorizing about them.

    Open on a teenage boy who’s just working on the factory floor just to get through High School. Until one day he takes a sick day, and the next thing he knows there are army vehicles outside Playtime Co. the next day.

    Fast forward ten years and he gets a mysterious letter telling him to come back to the factory, but only one thing is on his mind when he gets said letter…”I never got my last paycheck!”

    (Loosely Based on “What if You Talked in Poppy Playtime?” by Press Start to Laugh)

    Summary

    Boone meets a mysterious courier who seems to appear just in his hour of need. A stranger with no connection to anyone or anything he's ever known. Just the kind of person he's been looking for.
    The courier is a slightly-amnesiac woman who, until she remembers her name, has decided to go simply by "Six". She's always ready to lend a hand and she wears her heart on her sleeve. Who will she catch in the widely cast net of her arms? And who, of them, will stay?
    Meanwhile, legends of the Burned Man echo throughout the Wasteland. Will Six ever get to see the legend herself? And what will happen, if and when she does?

    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    Summary

    He was no stranger to severing ties before they would cut too deeply. It was how he had always operated here; if you don’t let anyone hook into you, you couldn’t be torn.

    Did this really sting that deeply for him to reconsider?
