A long brunette wig is glued into place atop the doll's bald head. The 3D printer gives the entire body one final go over to add the glossy finish, then it is released. The doll stumbles forward awkwardly a step, as if its sense of balance is thrown off by the new additions to its chest and ass. Slowly it raises its delicate hands to its face, tugging as the sides of its head, trying to find a seal in the edge of the mask. It has no luck. It is sealed inside its second skin - only the machine or a very competent surgeon could remove it now.
The lips move but no sound emits. No doubt the ribbed cock-holster wedged down its throat is interfering with its ability to speak. "Dad, you're going to have to sign if you want to communicate, I can't hear you."
Thieve's cant is a useful language known to any criminal worth his salt. It is a method of communicating without others seeing, using a mixture of colourful argot and (fortunately for you) hand signals. A tug on an ear or a flick of the nose can mean a whole world of things to somebody in the know. Dad flips you a few hand signals, none of them particularly happy. His face is a placid, doll mask but you get the impression he is furious underneath there.
