It's warm inside. (Private RP for MingleMonster and Rye)

[MingleMonster]

When Mikka was finally released, she fell down onto her hands and knees, the machines not being too delicate with her. If the tables were turned, she didn't figure she'd be so delicate with them, but if this thing was all about caring for infants, it sure was rough. She trudged over to Luke the best she could with her new clothes, which she assumed were "fitted", but felt bulky and cumbersome - especially the diaper between her legs.

She leaned down over Luke, doing her best to calm him down with gestures and patting his shoulders. She couldn't say much, the pacifier saw to that, but she could mumble and attempt contact through it... Not sure if it did much for Luke or not, but she would try anything.

When she thought she got through to him, she gave him a hug at the waist, and then brought her arms up behind his, pulling him onto her shoulder a little. She hugged and held him like this, patting his back, trying to get him to calm down. She realized after a minute or so that she wouldn't be able to see if any hands or other crazy things were approaching from behind like this, but she didn't care Luke needed her right now.

The boy sobbed and shuddered in her arms, hugging her back tightly. ANA must have seen he was in distress , the hands returned and pried him from her and held him aloft "aww , poor baby seems a little teary. Not to worry" it said , rocking him gently and giving him an overstuffed teddy to hold instead of his friend. Clutching it tightly he snuggled into it. It was cosy , soft , warm and relaxed him. His cries softened and soon he was silent apart from the odd hiccup or sigh as he tried to collect his emotions.

The machine turned on Mikka "how about you , you feeling okay?" the machine asked , a tiny hint of a patronising tone in there "Well , my programming is nearly complete , so we can get you washed and sanitised properly. After that , a nap , you both seem to be running high emotions and a good sleep should reset that" Ana assured them both as she gently laid the boy down on the floor with his teddy. He was quiet now , watching with his eye wide and full of fear , but with the soft assurances he was calming down and becoming less hysterical with the situation

Mikka's anxiety shot up whenever the arms collected Luke from her, but luckily they only wanted to comfort him as well. While he was being given a teddy bear, she was getting sass from the machine, which only got her to cross her arms and give a couple of angry sucks on her pacifier in response; Mikka was not amused.

She waddled over to Luke, ignoring what the machine had to say for the moment. She sat down on her padded behind beside him, doing her best to get into a criss-cross position, looking into his eyes with a "what now?" sort of expression. Certainly this situation couldn't get any worse for the pair of them...

[Rye]

Ana picked Mikka up "okay , that's everything up to date ,now , how about a bath? Luke , you can wait , you seem a little overwhelmed right now" said the machine , letting the boy cuddle his toy and remain silent. A clean white ceramic bathtub came out from the wall and started to fill with hot water , it didn't look like she was going to be afforded any privacy "now , this may sting but will remove any possible contamination you may have on you" said the machine , the water being a slightly unnatural pink colour against the white of the bath. Ana dipped the girl in , making sure she her head was above the water level as the hands went to work with sponges and cloths.

The water was warm , pleasantly warm verging on too hot and the water stung a little , not a lot , but enough to notice. As the mechanical hands scrubbed her body hair came out with the cloth and movements, this is what Ana must have meant with disinfecting them, it would certainly make her easier to clean in the future, at the cost of being more like the baby the machine thought she was.

[MingleMonster]

Mikka fidgeted as she was picked up, her clothes being pulled off as quickly as they were put on, before she was set down into the bathtub. She tried to plead with Ana, but was unsuccessful in her attempts, the pacifier still plugging her mouth well. The sponges and cloths were invasive and thorough, scrubbing and rubbing her all over, the machine sure to keep her head over the water. She didn't want to dunk herself in anyways, already worried about the strange pigment and scent of the water.

Her skin felt sort of fizzy, like she was surrounded in bubbles, but there wasn't a single soap-sphere in the tub. The sensation was off putting, and unnatural, but she figured it could be worse. The stingyness of the water's temperature made things a bit difficult for Mikka, wondering how on earth a baby would be able to handle this temperature... But then again, the machine seemed to know that they weren't babies, or at least their bodies weren't. She honestly didn't know what it thought, rather perplexed by it's speech earlier.

After a short while the invasive sponges and cloths started to wind up poor Mikka, having circled around her privates and brushed across her now-sensitive skin. She wanted to protest this development as well, but the muting device only allowed for grumbling. She started to notice that the hands weren't just spending time rubbing her privates to drive her up the wall, but rather that they were removing her hair, to her horror. Aside from what was on the sponges and cloths, little hairs would float up to the surface here and there, a fairly different shade than what her hair color was.

After the machines had made good and sure that Mikka's poor body had been rubbed justly, she was lifted up out of the bath, water dripping from her body. More hands with towels came around her, rubbing her dry, spending extra time getting those "nook and cranny" spots dry as well. She dangled there for a second afterwards, naked, hairless and blushing like mad... "How could this get any worse?" She said, which came out as muffled "mmmmmphs" from behind the pacifier.

The machine left her naked of everything below the eyelashes. Finishing with her in the tub she was transferred to another one , this one was just plain water thankfully , she had her hair and body washed with soap , smelt of tea leaves and sweet tropical fruits. But this time Ana was multi tasking , Luke yelped as he was picked up , stripped and sat in the first tub , he was grossed out by the second hand bathwater but he couldn't move and when he started to scream , a pacifier gag was used. Ana wasn't putting up with him right now. Mikka was washed , dried with soft white towels and dressed back in her pink outfit , diaper included , thicker this time , prints had little stars and moons on them. Luke was soon done up just the same , all diapered dressed and clean. His bandaged had been torn off him and not replaced , the boy looked worried about it , he was using his hair more than normal to cover it up , his second line of defence.

Ana took the pacifiers out of the pair to let them speak "good work boys and girls , we're all clean and ready for a nap I think. Both of you seem very stressed and overworked right now , which is normal. The machine picked Luke up first and put a glass bottle of milk into his mouth. He struggled a a stream of white milk dribbled out and he struggled to breath and shout at the same time. After some muffled shouts he relented and took the bottle , he refused to nurse at it as a point of principle. He was laid down in one of the large cribs and the mobile turned on, lending out soft musical notes to try and lull the boy to sleep. "There we go , now Mikka , I'm sure I won't have any problems with you , will I?" he said as the arms came towards her again.

[MingleMonster]

The new line of scrubbing Mikka had to endure didn't help her frustrations, but at least that bath seemed much faster than the last one, and smelled nice. She was dried a second time as well, just as thoroughly as the last time. After that, she saw the clothes come back into view; a look of horror flashed over Mikka's face.

She thrashed and writhed, but the hands got her back into her outfit, but the diaper between her legs felt thicker, which Mikka could hardly believe. She was kept still until Luke was also done getting scrubbed down and redressed, the two of them dangling beside one another. Mikka found her pacifier's bulb seemingly got smaller in her mouth, a hand quickly coming down to snatch it from her, freeing her to speak. "What's wrong with you!?" She spouted at the machine, being at the end of her rope. The machine played it off with it's snide remarks about being stressed, which caused Mikka to pout and glare at the screen.

She watched as Luke was picked up by a separate set of hands, a glass bottle in one of them. The hands administered themselves to Luke's mouth, Mikka watched on in horror as he struggled to get away from the milk within. She wondered what temperature it was, for some reason... A silly thought, she figured. Luke gave up the fight after a short while and carried into a large looking crib, presumably to sleep. Then the machines turned on Mikka, and she eeped when she was picked up herself. She kicked and fought a little, whining. "Please don't do this, this isn't right! Please, please let us go!" She shouted at the machine, seeing her own bottle come into view. It was brought into her mouth quickly, not giving her room to say anything else, which she took too a little... Her question was answered, it was fairly warm.

Mikka was almost crying as she was carried towards the cribs as well, not wanting to suck on the bottle but would nuk it every so often as she was slowly carried away, due to her oral fixation. Mikka was set down in the crib next to Luke, the bottles still in both of their mouths. Mikka tried to turn her head to take a look at Luke, but the bottle acted as a sort of brace, not letting her turn her head. She continued to drink, a tiny bit faster now, thinking it wouldn't leave her alone until she finished. She did notice from the corner of her eye that Luke's bandage was gone and his eye was covered with his hair; she'd never seen him without a bandage for as long as she'd known him, her curiosity piqued as to why he wore it in the first place.

[Rye]

Luke gently started to suck. The machine was at least catering and had some idea of how he was feeling. A warm bath had leetched his streanth away , the warm tempeture was making him drowsy and the bottle was a plesent sweet milk that calmed him and he could sip without much effort. He stoped struggling and relaxed a little , yawning , he could go for a nap right now. Recharge his batteries and go back to fighting when he got up. He was laid down in the crib and tucked in under some light blankets and had a soft cuddly toy pushed into his arms , which he hugged and brought close as he drifted to sleep.

"It is right Mikka , this is the right way to treat little babies , so calm down. You'll feel much better once you're rested" Ana cooed as the girl was put down , tucked in and had a cuddly toy put in her arms just the same as Luke had. She let the girl suckle on the bottle making sure she drank everything in the bottle before replacing it with a pacifier "see you in a few hours little one" Ana said , the temperature in the room rose and the soft clinking sounds from the mobile grew louder. With Mikka fully fed there was little other than her own will power keeping her awake. Even if she kept that up Ana would see to that. Sleepy babies were fussy babies and needed a lot of help to get to sleep and the machine was not above medially induced sleep to get there.

[MingleMonster]

Mikka's anxious thrashing took a sudden halt when she was handed the toy, something unexpected from the way the machine had been treating her. She still had more bottle to get through; a feeding not in the best interest of Mikka, but she'd have to endure it. Her thoughts raced as she laid there, whimpering and squirming around, her diaper crinkling under her outfit - adding to her embarrassment. As soon as she finished off the bottle, her lips were freed from the teat, only to grip another pacifier once again. Mikka whined a bit at it, but knew it to be futile.

Ana's words earlier were soothing, but Mikka didn't know if she could trust them. In fact, she shouldn't trust anything in here save for Luke, this whole place was insane. Mikka fussed and tossed, trying to fight off the sleep but the combination of warm blankets, warm milk and the steadily rising temperature in the room were bringing her right into her comfort zone. The gentle sounds invading her ears didn't help her situation either, and eventually she gave in.

Begrudgingly, Mikka fell asleep, her mind riddled with uncertainty.

[Rye]

Luke woke up some time later, the lights were still dimmed. He was free to move within the crib , no lounger having a bottle in his mouth he found he had been sucking on a large pacifier. Taking it out he put it to the side and sat up. He had rather been hoping this had just been a dream, or more accurately ; a nightmare. He looked to Mikka and pushed her a little to get her to wake up "M-Mikka?" he asked softly "wake up". He felt the need to use the bathroom , but could tell just by what had happened to them what the machine was going to do. Well this was the one thing he still had control over and he wasn't going to give it up , even if it was making him squirm and twitch in the bed. As the thought it occurred to him that there were probably ways to take his control over that away too , medicines and drugs that could numb him down into leaking into his diapers 24/7. He shivered at the thought, he would most likely never get out if that happened, this only served to toughen his resolve. Feeling rested and energetic he wanted to start thinking of a plan to get out, or find something to do until the opportunity presented itself.
