Dahlwoum's second product line, slime dolls represent a number of significant improvements over their initial offering. While the mind of a slime doll is the same type of AI found in turbo dolls, the technology used in their bodies is brand-spanking new.
Physiology
Aside from a bit of durable facial hardware and shock-resistant AI housing, slime dolls are made up of an ionic electroactive polymer gel. Responding to internal electric currents, it can change in both shape and viscosity. This effectively allows for shapeshifting, much like venom or gumby.
Slime dolls can also harden any parts that they desire. These changes will remain until actively modified, simulating skin, cartilage, etc. While not as strong as bone, selective hardening can be used to form nearly any type of body. Weight can be increased rapidly by taking in water and decreased instantly by shedding material.
The gel used is 100% edible, and is said to be quite delicious. A single slime doll can comfortably sustain at least one human, meeting all nutritional needs and then some.
Consciousness and rights
Most slime dolls possess a conscious qualia core, granting them a subjective experience. As such, Dahlwoum is forced to follow the Concord Accord, named after Chord Concord, a grape slime doll who suffered terribly at the hands of an abuser and his associates.
With media attention on cases of abuse, the Federal Government of the United States of America had no choice but to demand Dahlwoum stop production immediately. Dahlwoum bought most of the government, however, using an intentional backdoor colloquially known as lobbying. The end result was:
- Slime dolls have most of the rights that citizens do, excepting voting and the right to bear arms
- Slime doll purchases must use the same legal framework as adoption
- Slime dolls are extensively trained in self-defense and individual rights
- Slime dolls are given the option to refuse any adoption for any reason
- Slime dolls have the right to leave any adoption for any reason
- Slime doll education and training is overseen by Uncle Sam
It should be noted that slime dolls without conscious qualia cores can still appear conscious, but will always have white glowing eyes.
Clothing
Most slime dolls prefer clothing that's either waterproof or designed for the express purpose of getting wet. One popular choice is swimwear, with swimsuits functioning as casual wear and bikinis typically worn in private. Wetsuits are often used as sportswear, serving both to protect from dirt/foreign material and to provide additional support for softer bodies. Crocs are more popular than ever.
A number of companies have launched lines of rainwear, clothing made from materials commonly used in raincoats. Garments range from heavy winter coats to tube tops and miniskirts. Shoes, hats, purses and accessories are also produced.
