For Lucy, her prosthetic limbs are a means of overcoming her disability, but they can be uncomfortable to wear and sometimes she just needs to take a break from wearing them. What can she do to have fun without her prosthetics? Bouncing around in soft pillows is surprisingly enjoyable.

Well in the world I have, prosthetic limbs are not without their drawbacks.
Limb-regrowth treatment failed on her, so when Lucy was first fitted with prosthetics after her accident, the interference from the nerve-coms in her stumps is felt as an aching pain in the prosthetic.
Years later, Lucy and her husband invented a passive cybernetic transceiver to allow a non-amputee to control machines and receive feed back via nerve impulses. This design ultimately failed at its intended purpose, but they found that it was good at being able to selectively block nerve impulses. After a redesign, Lucy had them implanted along her spine. Once calibrated, she no longer has pain when wearing and using her prosthetics. However, her body below her neck is very numb when the transceivers are turned on, though feedback from her prosthetics is unaffected.
So she can either have the aching pain, but not have her body be numb. Be pain free, but lose a lot of sensation in her body. Or not wear her limbs at all and not be in pain and be able to feel her body.

I thin I read that in one of your other submissions. That setting would leave my fursona Jarret in a similar situation as he has a set of prosthetic limbs just like she does except his are normally covered with a fur sleeve to match his real fur. He prefers sleeping without tum as the sensations sent by the prosthetics are hard to ignore even in his normal setting. Basically he describe it as always being very aware of the bed he sleeps in even during deep sleep but it was not usually painful
Yea, Lucy doesn't like wearing prosthetics that look like flesh. Her body ends at the ends of her stumps as far as she is concerned. Her prosthetics are not part of her. It's just her way of coping. Taking off a realistic looking prosthetic brings back memories of when she first lost her limbs. Wearing clothes over her prosthetics isn't a problem for her.
