Synopsis

One week after the events in the Sweet Jazz Museum, Molly Blyndeff tries to take some well-deserved time off at seashore with her friends. Her vacation is interrupted when the girls stumble on the freshly-beached body of Rick Shades, a bizarre "wizard" from the depths of the ocean.

The trio of girls bring Rick back to Molly's toy store in order to help him recover, but things quickly take a turn for the worse when Molly's older sister Lorelai gets involved. Her epithet, ☆Augment☆, gives her the power to create augmented realities, fantasy worlds that she refers to as "dream bubbles". Lorelai throws everyone into the store into one of her dream worlds and suddenly Molly's day off turns into an epic quest to escape Lorelai's world and rescue her friends from her sister's clutches.

Prison of Plastic is the story of two sisters living in a broken home struggling with their magical powers, themselves, and each other.

Plot

Prologue 1: The Neo Trio

Molly, on a rare day off, waits at a street-corner to meet with her friends, Phoenica and Trixie. She hears a scream in an alleyway and runs over to see Phoenica being threatened by a mugger. Molly tries to use her epithet to silence Phoenica and lie in order to get the mugger to let them leave, but it doesn't work. Then, Trixie appears.

They reveal that they're a Roughhouse, a family of infamous thieves, and that they're armed to the teeth in box cutters. The mugger is intimidated, and leaves. Trixie drops their act and starts crying about how scary the situation was. Phoenica joins in the crying, and the Neo trio all have a group hug.

Prologue 2: The Banzai Blasters

Giovanni announces to his boys (Dark-star, Crusher, Spike, Car-crash, Flamethrower and Ben) that he is officially leaving the Banzai Blasters in Dark-star's treehouse, he says that because of their unjust morals and corrupt leaders that he can't stand to work for them anymore.

Giovanni's boys become distressed, they try to stop him from leaving by reasoning with him but to no avail. Giovanni then reveals that he plans to start-up his own villain organisation, however, he does not know how they'll receive funding and he doesn't have an official name yet. He then asks if his boys would like to join them or not and they all accept, no questions asked.

After his boys agreement, Giovanni sprawls out a sheet of paper onto the table in their new evil lair. On the aforementioned sheet of paper was an EVIL villain plan of their first official heist of it's own, and the deadline is Friday (or you die). However, all of his boys are busy on that specific day for some reason, that reason being Flamethrower's male-cheerleading competition and they reveal that they all bought tickets. Giovanni is touched by this and requests for someone to record Flamethrower's performance for him and Ben agrees to do it.

Giovanni thinks about which minions he can rely on now, after awhile of thinking he says that he has one more minion he can call. This minion obviously being Molly.

Prologue 4: The Instructor

We start off at one of the many STEM research facilities scattered across the city. We come to learn that STEM doesn't actually stand for anything but aside from that we also learn that STEM was popularized for it's research in plants, specifically for their invention of a plant that can grow in any season and that it is an organisation that values actual skill over simply being an epithet user, which is apparently quite rare in the modern day.

Cut to a rather pissed-off doorman, the reason he's so pissed is because of his job at this time of the day, which is to stand at the door for the CEO of STEM. He's not even a chauffer, he just stands there.

Suddenly the elevator behind him begins to ding, hitting the floor with a loud *THUD* before the CEO's actual chauffer made her way out of the elevator. She spun on her heels and turned to look towards the CEO who had barely survived the elevator ride, low and behold Naven Nuknuk meagrely made his way out from the facility on uneasy feet and apologised to the doorman and made his way into the car.

Seeing Naven as the CEO of a massive corporation was somewhat sad, he was known for his silver tongue, charisma and the fact that he clearly knew what he was doing but seeing him in real life made him seem like an entirely different person. Naven was definitely not confident, quite the opposite actually, couple that with his unimpressive height and him being overly empathetic towards mundies.

In fact, he's way too empathetic towards them, the reason he went down that elevator was because he offered to be an interpersonal communications teacher for a little girl. It doesn't help that the aforementioned little girl asked him to help her friends too.. But it was fine, plus, they had come along way since they had first started and one of them was showing a lot of potential.
