It was a usual day on Rainy Street. The rain poured down upon the land as it did every day. There was nothing different or unusual about the day nor of this mysteriously drenched area where it rained all of the time. Perhaps that is why it was called 'Rainy Street'. Or, perhaps there was a curse on the land after it was named. Who knows?

Nothing lived on Rainy Street, for it rained every day. There were only old, abandoned houses and washed out streets. The only house that had some sort of activity to it was the one on the corner -- a mysterious life-sized Dollhouse that was, as it were, as large as an actual house. A manor, even. But, no one lived there, see... This place too had been abandoned since before time began. No one remembers who made the house and none of the people of Rainy Street were remembered at all... If people even lived there in the first place. The hazy record of this accursed land was just about as mysterious and hazy as the steely clouds that hovered overhead day in and day out, pouring nonstop.

So what sort of activity could be going on inside of the manor on the corner of Rainy Street? There was only one way to find out...

The manor-sized dollhouse was old and decrepit, clearly worn from all of the heavy rainfall, but not in shambles somehow thanks to sources unknown. It was an archaic style, architecture looking to be of the Gothic style and of the latter 1600s. It differed from all other houses on the block because it was the oldest, but it was also still the most well kept in spite of its nature and age. Sure, there was a broken window here or there, but those broken windows never stayed broken for long... But who kept breaking them, one had to ask? What was breaking them? No one stepped foot on Rainy Street at all, and the occasional car that passed by only did so once in a blue moon, and was usually someone who lost their way. So what caused these phenomena? The house's upkeep? The reparation? The essence of life inside a dead building? Only one thing...

Stitchie.

Stitchie was a gray ragdoll bearing many stitches all over her body, including a stitched up eye, and a zipper for a mouth. There was a hole in her head where many threads which made her hair spilled out, and one of her most notable features was the long thread with a large and menacing sewing needle on the end of it. She was a living Voodoo Doll who was animated by something unknown, kept alive for unknown purposes, and remained silent. For as long as anyone could remember, Stitchie had always been in the dollhouse manor... Longer than any of the other beings that were also living there, of which Stitchie was not the only one.

Apart from Stitchie was her sister, Ragz, yet another ragdoll, specifically for the purpose of being a ragdoll instead of a Voodoo Doll. Like Stitchie, the nature of her animation was unknown, but she was supposed to be older than Stitchie... Yet, it was Ragz who remembered Stitchie being present before she was conscious. However, Ragz did end up taking on the role of the elder sister personality-wise, even if Stitchie truly was the elder of the two.

Ragz was a smaller doll than Stitchie, having long, orange hair, a tattered, gray dress, pale blue fabric skin, and a patch over the immensely torn gash where her left eye was supposed to be. Also, Ragz could fly by some supernatural means. Though often in the shadow of Stitchie, she was still a reliable sister.

Along with Stitchie and Ragz were two other living dolls that resided with them, those two toys being known as Mr. Crumples and Cuttie. They were in a relationship with each other, but both of them were extremely feral. Mr. Crumples was a savage plush toy with long claws, a slender string tail, small horn-like ears, tiny bat wings, a large and menacing sharp-toothed smile, and enormous, sharp eyes. He was mostly pale purple in color, but the spot on his stomach and his pointed nubby legs were both orange. Often times, he was known to be destroying something, but Stitchie with her overly large sewing needle tail was always there to repair any damage that the crazy Mr. Crumples may have done.

Likewise, Mr. Crumples' psychotic counterpart -- the second living plush toy, Cuttie -- was equally known to tear things apart with her sharp claws. She had angry, glowing eyes and a tuft of hair held upright with a bow. Her skin was pale blue and she also had a large, sharp-toothed smile. Beyond being characteristically destructive and mischievous, there was not much to the insane duo. But one thing was for sure; they loved each other very much.

The next member of the gang was one that was meant to keep all of them in line; a pair of living scissors named Scissy. While Scissy was incredibly powerful because it was enchanted with the power to cut Life Threads, it was relatively limited in its utility other than being like normal scissors. Having the power to end any of the dolls' lives made it certainly intimidating despite being a pair of scissors, but it didn't seem to do much in lines of actually asserting this power. In fact, it was more likely to say that Scissy was part of the group and was friends with the dolls, despite being unlike them besides being an animated inanimate object. Scissy was small and used the scissor blades as legs, yet also had two uncharacteristic metal arms and eyes where the holes of the scissors would be. Sometimes it could fly, but mostly it ran around on its blades.

Finally came the strangest of the bunch who stood out even more than Scissy. It was not only relatively unrelated to the overall theme of the living inanimate objects, it also did not fall into the group of doll-themed items at all. It was Squeet, a small robot with spider legs and tiny arms, but a long antenna and huge, cute eyes. It wasn't clear why the tiny robot was even with them, but it seemed dedicated to a mission to oversee whatever happened in the dollhouse and make itself of optimal assistance.

All of these beings lived in the attic of the dollhouse-manor, with Stitchie being the guardian of the entire house. Though she and her partners lived in the attic, there were other parts of the house where other beings lived who Stitchie regularly interacted with. But lately, things had gotten relatively quiet in the house... Many of the residents spent their time quietly remaining idle, almost like they were losing their life forces...

... Though, Stitchie was none the wiser, and she simply remained stationed in the attic with her friends. But even they were not as active as often as Stitchie was...

The Omocha, a Giro, was left in the Dollhouse where Stitchie resided, and served as a certain 'Deliverer' or 'Dark Messenger' amongst them, which transitioned through the Dollhouse and gathered or spread information. During the time of its patrol, it came to Stitchie herself, as if right on time with her own events. "Stitchie!" the Omocha Mechanica cried, "News from the underground... In the Overworld." They were in a Dollhouse within a mansion, so it was different than if it was just a regular Dollhouse, as the mansion was an extension to the Dollhouse, and was owned by Tabitha Tensei. "Allegedly, the Dark Mistress is returning to the Dollhouse soon... And there isn't much time."

A newsflash, in the least, the 'Messenger', Giro, delivered, as proper. As it stood, this land was like a bridge between the Dusk and the Lawless Land, and it was considered 'Abandoned'. So, the return of the Dark Mistress to her original 'Malfortuna Manor' so to speak would be something grand for the Dollhouse Dolls.

So, Stitchie started to act.

Amongst the Chomao, there was only one that was the Void Bo$$ -- Demitama, which kept 'Malice'. When released, it would become its true form, 'Devitama', the 'Black Hole' Void Bo$$. But, whilst calm, it retained all the 'Malice' of Ty-chan, and was known everywhere notoriously as the 'Bad Egg', Eggy's evil brother. In a constant state of suspension and detention, the retention of that tension keeps the Malice of 'The Insanity' of 'Ty-chan' at bay indefinitely.

The arrival of the Chomao Void Bo$$ was forthcoming to the forecoming of the Dark Mistress, but also latter afterward to the Dark Master, of whom this was his Envoy for the Playhouse, harboring the Dollhouse. If the Dolls ever got out of the Dollhouse, the Playhouse was the larger structure, as is what was done with the original 'Mansion' that the 'Manor Malfortuna' mirrors. As such, the 'Playhouse' incorporated such the 'Dollhouse' as well as 'Madhouse' and 'Traphouse' extensions, with 'Slaughterhouse' and 'Toybox' features, specifically for both the Dark Master and Dark Mistress, respectively. They were brother and sister, yet also one entity, and their coming would signify the great T-Time of Stitchie.

Demitama, the Void Bo$$ Chomao, appeared nigh immediately after Giro, the Omocha Dark Messenger, finished delivering its message. "... I Will Be Watching Over The Dollhouse Until The Dark Mistress Returns," said it. And hover over them, it would, looking malicious, somehow, yet cute...

"Hiun..." it called, summoning its own 'Dark Messenger' from the 'Black Realm' of 'The Veritas', inclusive to the 'Toybox'.
