# Journal of The New Owner of a Plush

Author: 8bitdemongirl
Tags: Fox, Plush, Transformation

This is an odd format for a story; a journal, alternating between two perspectives as a guy turns into an animate toy. It's based on this transformation focused game: https://usducktape.itch.io/to-change using a specific change set made by https://www.furaffinity.net/user/duhad/ ; thank you to both for the mechanics and changes!

The slow transformation of Mars into a plush toy

Well, today's sure as hell been strange. Mars came home from his job early, and when I came in  
to check on him he was stumbling around like he was drunk. Course, he's not a drinking man,  
and I only rarely go for even light beer, so I pretty quickly guessed that something was up.  
Mars, he's a nice guy. Tall and built, too. Honestly, he's pretty handsome. Better looking than me  
No, no, let's not self deprecate today. Today, we need to worry about him. The longer I watched  
him, the worse his wobbling got, from just being all off balance to actively tripping over his own  
feet. I panicked when I saw him fall and fucking, bend his arm in like three places, but he  
assured me he was fine, that he wasn't hurt at all. I didn't believe him until he showed me, no  
bleeding, his arm just sorta bent back into shape with a bit of help from me. Poor guy's all tired  
now, and I don't blame him; this is weird enough as just an observer, you know?  
When we got him into bed, he was a bit more perky at least. He asked me upfront, "Do you  
wanna try squeezing and bending me?" I figured, why not, and obliged him. I may have gotten a  
bit too into it, though... especially the suplex, hah. Turned out just because Mars got all squishy  
doesn't mean I'm strong enough to actually lift him up. Well, there's always my fantasies, I  
suppose...  
Anyway, I tried calling a doctor over this. Naturally he just was confused as all hell and didn't  
humor me at all. Well, after today I'm just gonna sleep for now. I'll see if I can find someone  
who'll actually believe me about this in the morning, I've got that day off work anyway.

Day 1  
MA1  
Events: Strength Reversed, Star Reversed  
Writing this in bed. Lyman passed me the journal and pencil, said I should write down at  
least some of this stuff myself while I'm transforming. Says it might help the doctors,  
once he finds one. He's been kinda struggling with it... doesn't help that now he has to take  
care of me while I'm sick with, well, whatever the heCK this is. It feels all weird, though;  
my voice is getting all funny and squeaky, and it's weird and uncomfortable and my throat  
hurts. I just can't be bothered to get out from the covers today, and even after eating I  
just feel... drained, like whatever made me all squishy and soft is still going strong and  
draining me.  
(Draw MF - Fool, Devil - use Devil, MA2)  
Hold up- Lyman got lucky! I love you! I, um, don't love him like that, probably. Though he  
has been pretty nice to me, and he is pretty cute... maybe it could work? Eh, now's not the  
time, I can't even try to get my voice back down to how it usually sounds.  
I sound like some cartoon kid! I can't swear, either, like, watch this - heck, darn, fudge  
heck funk it. It's all made into PG stand-ins! Well, I guess whatever this is, we'll just have  
to make do. Mars says that the doc will only be able to visit in a couple days. Let's hope I  
don't get more sick in the meantime.

Day 3  
MA3  
Events:The World Upright, The Moon Upright  
Hehe, I'm starting to enjoy this! I'm still way too sick and tired to actually, um, get out of  
bed, but now I sound all cutesy and squeaky. Ok so maybe that's not actually a very good  
thing, since I normally work at a car store and this voice is just, completely the wrong one  
for that, but still, it's oddly nice.  
Lyman went out to get some new groceries today. I wanna say that's real sweet of him, but  
it's not like I really could go out myself like this. That's alright, though; it means I'm able  
to squish and squeeze myself, test my weird rubber(?) body a bit. I should do this some  
more; the exercise is bringing some of my energy back, and I'm getting some good tingles  
all over my body!  
I think Lyman's been, well, thinking about me too. When he got back, he got my favorite  
mac and cheese,my favorite soda, just lots of stuff I like. Maybe he knew, psychically,  
what I wanted? Oh, he's looking over my shoulder now-  
Look, I just thought, "hey let's treat my roommate who's sick to something nice". I like Mars, but  
I'm pretty sure liking a guy doesn't make you psychic.  
As I was saying, he's been nicer than normal. Then again, our schedules mean we usually  
don't get to spend too long together, so I guess I just didn't see this side of him before? I  
like it either way.

Day 4  
MF1  
Events: The Fool Reversed, The Magician Reversed  
Doctor still can't come in today. Tomorrow, he says, he'll be free. It's hard to tell, with how Mars  
has been all giggly and goofy, but I can tell he's pretty... nervous. Neither of us know what the  
hell is happening to him, why he got all squishy and affectionate (not that he wasn't a nice guy  
before, but now he's not able to even try to swear). He's starting to have a hard time focusing  
now; he tried to get some work done from home, but he just sorta got distracted and kept  
working in bursts. Kinda like ADHD, except, well, he doesn't have it last I checked.  
He's got attention for me, at least. When I reminded him of the importance of this stuff, of his  
income, he was able to get back to work. Lasted... 2 hours, I think, before he lost things again.  
I'm not sure how he'll function on his own, honestly.  
I... wound up hugging him, reassuring him that we'll find a way through this. Funny enough,  
that's what worked out the best to keep him on track; just being with me, while I held him close.  
I'm not usually one for this sorta... mushy stuff. I'm a man, a manly man! But, I gotta be honest,  
it was nice, letting my affection for him come out. He's my best friend, really. (aw, thanks!)  
Still, after the hugging (a guy can only hold his buddy's tummy for so long before he gets tired  
and needs a break, or has to use the toilet), we had to figure out a way to replicate that when I'm,  
well, away. Just staying on a call won't work, either, since I work the factory floor. We'll think of  
something.  
Lyman  
Day 5  
PA1  
Events: The Moon Reversed, The High Priestess Upright  
The doctor came in today! He wasn't exactly the nicest guy, though... he poked fun at my  
weight, until I showed him that I actually am lighter than I used to be! Guess he thought  
that since my body's bigger, but honestly I almost tripped because of how I'm not used to  
this sorta mismatch? Anyway, he wound up having to measure me, and, um, look at me  
nearly naked, and it was really hard to hold still while he did.  
(Draw MF - Empress, Sun, Hanged Man - Succumb, MF2)  
I was only able to do it because of Lyman staying with me, and holding me close when I  
asked. He's sweet, but even I was surprised by how willing he was! I think he was worried  
the doctor would be all judgy again, but luckily he was more busy trying to figure out why  
the heck my skin's so soft, or why I'm getting fatter but losing weight.  
The doctor asked me a lot of questions, and he pulled Lyman aside to ask stuff too. I don't  
blame him, it makes sense to figure out why something happens when trying to treat it,  
but, well, I don't know why this is happening! I had to pull myself aside and hug Lyman a  
few times to get through it all, before the doctor gave up. Lyman said that the doc's never  
seen something like this before, and he's gonna have to go and arrange a new doctor to  
help.  
Turns out they spent an hour talking about things without me, but I... missed it? It felt a  
lot shorter to me. Like, I know some folk just sorta have time get weird like that, but I  
don't think I had anything like that before. It's a little scary, knowing that my mind's  
getting changed like this, but at least I have Lyman. Best friend I could ask for, really.  
Mars  
Day 6  
PA2  
Events: The Hermit Upright, The Devil Upright  
So yesterday, me and the doctor noticed that Mars was feeling soft. Hell, I even got the  
old guy to take his glove off to confirm himself. Guess that was some sorta foreshadowing  
early symptom of whatever the fuck his happening now. Mars is just, all covered in this  
soft fabric now. His skin's, like, orange and white fur, some sorta cartoon fox. I wound up  
watching, even , as his hands and feet turned all dark brown, and he's got all these little  
seams on him now.  
People don't just turn into plush toys, not usually. And yet, here we are, my roommate's a  
soft, squishy foxman now, and he's still not done changing. The weird thing is, he's starting  
to become more at peace with this weird shit; he's not even trying to swear anymore, and  
he gets really cuddly whenever I'm around. He's just gonna call in sick for now, not really  
bother much with work.  
(Draw MA - Temperance, Fool, Magician, Justice - Fool)  
He wound up being a bit of a goofball, to say the least; I wound up taking over the phone to  
explain after a bit. The guys at his office laughed, but at least were willing to go along with things  
after a bit. Sending them a video probably helped, especially since his tail wound up growing a  
bit more live on camera. Here's hoping that this Luma character can figure things out a bit  
better.  
Lyman  
Day 7  
MF3  
Events: Chariot Upright (Change MA-Permanence), Hierophant Reversed  
The kind doctor came in today! She's some sort of magician, and a fox like me! Just, not  
plush, or fat, and a different type of fox... anyway, she gave me a new examination. In some  
ways I kinda preferred that older human guy's test, he didn't try to prick me to see  
whether I bled cotton or blood, but I can't complain about one of the tests just being a  
great big hug! I'm really getting into this whole toy thing, which is good because, well, she  
can't actually reverse it.  
She said it's some sort of magical "curse" that I must've been placed under, probably  
either by accident or by someone who likes inflicting changes on random folk. She can  
technically turn me human again, but she'd need both my and Lyman's help to bring back my  
old, and honestly, I don't think either of us want to. I don't really need sleep anymore, I'll  
soon probably not need to eat, and it's just... nice, getting to relax and comfort my friend.  
Maybe even boyfriend? I'll have to ask if he swings that way-  
"Mars, I can read these too." That's what I told him, before taking him in a big hug. I don't know  
if I wanna call him a boyfriend, not yet, but honestly? Even if we don't hook up, I love him.  
Christ explaining this is gonna be weird to my family, "oh yeah my best friend is now my  
boyfriend, also he's a fat fox toy." Anyway, Luma offered to help accelerate the changes, figures  
that since he's gonna be a toy anyway he might as well go all the way. I'll let him describe the  
process, though I'll be the one to actually write it since those mitts aren't really good for  
precision.  
"Well, I wound up shrinking all nice and tiny! Even a kid could hold me up, and it was super  
weird having my body get so small. The only thing weirder was how all my bones went away, all  
my blood, my organs, just... nice cotton, the only hard things being button eyes and a voice box.  
A little solid lump where my heart used to be, like it's letting me take all my love and share it  
with the world! And by the world I mean Lyman. Unfortunately, he still can't take me to his own  
job like this, so I'll just sorta wait until he gets back. Oh, I almost forgot my face is all still, a  
permanent smile! Funny how face freeze is just already something I'm used to, hehe."  
Anyway, I'm kinda running outta space in this book. Hell if I know how I'll pay the rent with just  
one income, but Luma says she has an opening for Mars that'll pay... something, and I know a  
guy who wouldn't mind having a couple for roommates. This has been one hell of a week, but I  
think we'll manage together.
