When Curiosity Doesn't Kill You, Other External Factors Will Work On That. This
when curiosity doesn't kill you, other external factors will work on that. this barbie was supposed to end up in california, to fix the problem, but little did she knew before she embarked on this suicide mission that nothing will go according to plan. weird barbie explicitly told her : drive the car, row the boat, fly the rocket, ride the bike, drive the van, ride a snowmobile and finally rollerskate into the real world. pretty simple, actually. in theory, that is. alas, at some point when she was driving the van, earth quacked beneath her, though she mistaken it for a van problem – that was seismology barbie's field of expertise, not hers. she was just actress barbie. in just a few seconds, she landed on the pavement, knees scratched at impact. as soon as she batted her lashes to see the real world, anguish takes over barbie's frame as she watches in horror at what the real world looks like.
there's thick smoke surrounding the area and somewhere not too far in the distance something seemed to burn. everything seemed to stay still : time, nature, even the doll. she doesn't know how to react at first, therefore she takes a few to take in all that she sees and feels and experiences. the real world is an odd place, she thinks to herself, maybe that's why i had to come here. that thought alone leaves shivers down her spine, knowing all too well she wasn't some superhero ; she was just actress barbie. her only role in the world was to inspire little girls that they can become actresses too. she can't save the world. not if it's set ablaze anyway. the picture perfect smile upon her countenance begins to fade as a sentiment started to dig at her chest – must've been the scorching fire nearby reacting with the plastic. another thing to worry about. but barbie can't just give up, she hasn't even tried to do anything yet. she was stuck there, in the middle of nowhere, with no other living being in sight, scared at what she was seeing. if that was a movie set, it surely was realistic.
taking a deep breath – and quickly coughing it back out –, barbie finally moves from where she initially landed. one step after another, glancing all around her. she was looking for someone (anyone) that could help clear things out for her. she's not yet aware that she hasn't completed all the easy steps weird barbie has told her ; hopefully, she'll get there, at some point. and she walks, dragging her plastic frame forward, away from the source of warmth. she's glancing around the houses, but all lights are cut out – the residents must be sleeping, she can't disrupt them. and she walks. it's been for maybe half an hour, though it felt like forever and more to barbie, until she finally landed her eyes upon someone in the distance. she jogs towards the silhouette, hope twinkling inside.
" hi there, can you tell me what happened? " ask and the answer shall come – or wait, because ken will always show up to the rescue. though this wasn't barbieland. and ken didn't join her. she shakes her head, trying to brush off that dreadful thought – that she's alone and she might never find her way back home – with a slight smile upon her visage to @shadowedvales. " because this world seems like it's falling apart. and if that's the case, tell me what can i do to save it. " she's confident in her illusions, but she has to start somewhere. losing all hope would be like admitting defeat before even trying.

his words like whipped cream on top of waffles ⸻ to say barbie was content with joker would be an understatement. that bat man clearly didn't know joker like she did. and what a pity that is! all worries fade from her visage when their hands intertwined, pearly whites bared at him. ❝ i know, i know, ❞ a pause commences, in which she shook her head to sway the few strands that blocked her vision, ❝ but for a moment there, i totally doubted my thoughts. it was like when we first met! ❞ she mused, losing track of reality as her mind was too preoccupied to remember their first encounter. barbie was hopeless and full of flaws she never even knew existed. that was, until she crossed paths with the joker. someone who acknowledged her as a doll that was perfectly perfect, at least that's what barbie thinks anyway.
another shook of the head as she returns to the real world, cerulean optics carefully watching his other hand. when he revealed the new toy, her entire demeanor lit up. a bright, hollywood - worthy smile spread upon her visage, her gaze growing wider. ❝ for me? ❞ a squeal of excitement passing glossed lips as she reached for the gun. and just like a kid would, she snatched it from his grip in an instant, bringing it closer to her face. albeit still learning the ways of the real world, barbie couldn't help the curiosity that bloomed within her living body (although that remains unknown, it's best dolls remain unaware of such thing) ⸻ she inspected it closely, first the left side, then the right side and ultimately, she ended up pointing the barrel into the only eye she had open.
❝ i know what this is, ❞ a gun, that was easy for barbie, ❝ we had guns in barbieland as well! i learned how to maneuver one on the set once, but it was a prop. i know it was because this is wayyyyy heavier than the one i had. ❞ with a swift motion, she pointed the gun towards the ceiling, trying to press the trigger. but nothing happened, ❝ is it broken? i press the thing but it doesn't work. ❞ another quick glance at her beloved gift before she cautiously pointed it downward, returning the gun. ❝ would you fix it for me? i love it and i know the next time i come across the bat person i will scare him until i get my answers. ❞
