I have returned from our foray into the woods!
I ended up bringing Daniel instead of Kani, both because she is TPE which I have learned has a melting point (many thanks for the education) and because the poor dear has suffered a couple of injuries and I now need to be very careful with her. Ya get what ya pay for, as they say 😕
There ended up being three other people there. Two other men and one woman. They are all good friends and know I am a doll collector but we're quite taken a back by how realistic Daniel is. He sat at the table with us while we played DnD and by the end of the first day people were addressing him by name and patting him on the head when they walked by.
By the second night we reached new levels of inebriation previously unknown (unless you go to music festivals 😉) and one person asked to hold him. He's bisexual also and commented,
"he feels like a real man! Why is he kind of hot though?" He had similar compliments for Danny the rest of the trip. He also said I need to get a full size lady so we can shop for pretty clothes for her 😄
