You are given a box. Inside the box is a form. You can see the form through the plastic window. It is nearly 6-foot, nearly 300 pounds in weight, and mostly girl-shaped, but with extra curves even after that. It is dark haired, kept short to fall before the shoulders start; it is big-mouthed, lips painted bright as a warning of what might clumsily tumble from them; it is wide-eyed with palms facing inward to the body, fingers curled in; it is slightly slouched and knees bent the opposite way knees should bend, feet firmly planted with space between.
You decide to unpack the form.
Inside: the form, fastened to a decorative scene to give sense of space and time; included accessories; an instruction booklet; a warning label; an advertisement for other versions slightly better or worse or different than the form and for other accessories, not included.
Decorative Scene
Kat™ is a twenty-four-year-old graduate student freshly transplanted to the Bay Area, California, USA. She spends most of her time in her room, alone, working on writing, her concentration, or at the printing press lab, her academic interest. She lives with four roommates, none of whom she knew when she moved in with them. She likes 2 of them, and never sees 1 of them.
Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, she was raised across the street from farmland on the edge of suburbia. An only child in an area sparsely populated by other children, she spent most of her time reading, and some of the time playing alone, often in fields, often with cows. She's a lot a bit country, a little bit contemporary-hipster-suburban-artsy-vintage honest-to-goodness rock-and-roll.
She enjoys taking photos, talking type and design, driving long distances over open road, eavesdropping and observing, cooking for friends, and having long conversations with no regard to the time. There's a lot she enjoys, actually, and a lot she represents, but it's not always apparent; she prefers to be asked or running into the coincidence of sharing an interest, rather than having it be out there; she has a lot of interests in a lot of things. Not sleeping -- it takes little to function, and is otherwise a time-waster.
Included Accessories
Instruction Booklet
Play with Kat™ as you wish -- she is a durable form, meant for indoor and outdoor use, made for the gentlest hands or the roughest of handling. She is difficult to damage and takes little care. She is meant to improve upon use and exposure.
There are no real instructions.
Warning Label
Kat™ is not intended for users under the age of 8.
Your form is most usable in a temperate-to-hot climate; use in the cold will, at times, lead to poor performance and malfunction of Kat™.
Do not overload weight in hands as joints are weak. All bodily joints, while ultra-flexible and hyperextensive, should not be bent too far past the point of normal flexibility to prevent permanent damage.
Not Included, Ever
You look at the form. You decide if it's what you expected at all. You decide if it's too weird, or too boring, or too shallow, or too complicated. Maybe you decide it's what you wanted, anyway.
(And just because.)
