Welp time to wait till febuary to see if we get a sequel. Also I love the references in the displays

... I... Wouldn't the collar just transform her back as soon as another customer takes a look at her?

... Or did the owner lie her but off and just *really* wanted a mannequin for cheap?

I feel like the mannequin TF might be non collar related. But once I turn back on February then I will be at the mercy of everyone's desires

Mmmnn. It's possible, with a stronger enhancement overlapping it. Or maybe another trapped person wanting to be worn by a mannequin on top taking over the collar's role would do.

Still, sounds like you're in for some fun coming February. ;3

Yeah, Blaire's a pretty powerful witch. The implication is that she either wanted Raynie to become a mannequin and then layered a locking spell onto the collar after it gave her what she wanted, or she just overpowered the collar entirely with a mannequin spell of her own. Either way, Raynie's stuck like that for now.

That would make sense.

Hrm. Would mean she coudl lock them in a form once in a while, but then there's strain on that, and in the end... Where's the fun in that? ;3

Also worth mentioning, Blaire is pretty laissez-faire when it comes to the effects of items purchased from her, meaning that she doesn't like to stack too much of her own magic on top of an item's effects with the purpose of interfering. It may be technically possible for her to put a lock on the effects of Raynie's collar, at least for a finite term, but such a setup is inherently a bit unstable and certainly not recommended on a permanent basis. She's only really doing it here because otherwise her security spells will activate if Raynie tries to exit the building. So realistically, as soon as Raynie put on the collar, her choice here was probably to be a mannequin for five months, or try to leave and end up as something even worse on an indefinite time scale. But when Raynie's time is up and she's paid for her purchase in labor, Blaire's got no intentions of trying to negate the collar's effects. Raynie will be free to go, but as far as her new 'gift' is concerned... she's stuck with it.

I wanna know if the Collar is actually permanent? or if Blaire just can't be fucked to cast the required spell to have it taken off.

Oh, yeah, if Blaire's saying she can't remove it, then she really can't remove it-- not safely, at least. The problem isn't just a matter of physically removing it, it's that it's bonded now with Raynie's soul, so trying to remove it would, uh... not be a good time for Raynie. There's no way of severing that connection, because it's meant to be worn by someone who would put it on knowing the full ramifications beforehand. Collar's permanent, once it's activated. XP

Why was such a thing just put out in the open for anyone to easily access!? I found this thing on a Shelf! And was like oooo cute!

I like this sequence. I hope Rayine will start to enjoy being a mannequin.
