Original Release: 7/28/2016

A new Invention of the Week! This was actually started over a month ago, and the first Invention of the Week in two months. The title is pretty misleading huh? This was actually one of the original invention ideas I had when crafted the series. It was nice to come back to, tons of fun to write but I got swamped with the E-Coms. Finally managed to write it out. Little break from writing stuff for other people before I move onto trades.


Hello again! I haven't done one of these for a while! Well, a while is relevant I suppose. I call this little series "Invention of the Week" but it's seeming more like "Invention of the Month" at the rate these are going out. I'm here now though, the lovable lab rat you love...right? Sure you do...probably. Write me if you think I'm lovable! Comment below I guess is the proper term? I don't really post these, some guy does. I just kinda show up and do my thing. I mean it works! I actually don't know if I was supposed to say that...ah well, they can edit it out in post if not. Unless they don't in which case I just revealed secret behind the scenes stuff. Whoops?

Anyways, lately I've been doing my hair in a few different ways. Right now for example it's all down because I'm...lazy? I could lie, I just didn't really want to put it up like I usually do. I did momentarily considered dying my entire hair blue then I realized that'd probably look silly, so I decided to just keep the highlight. It looks pretty anyways. You get to see how long my hair actually is without all those bobby pins and stuff holding it up. It's really not that impressive is it?

My hair aside you probably came here for the science! To feel my science! Breathe my science! Taste my science! What I'm trying to say is you're here because you like my doohickeys. And this one is a quarker of doohickey. And by quarker I mean one of the cutest things I've ever made. It's a sweater! There's a picture of a me on it! Look at me, aren't I adorable? Why did I choose to put my face on there? I dunno, I just kinda did.

The basis of it is pretty simple. When wearing the sweater, you hug someone and they turn into an adorable plush toy for an hour. If they aren't already an animal, anthropomorphic or feral, doesn't matter it'll turn them into one before the plushification. It's usually doing something cute, like sticking it's tongue out or blushing, depends on the person or animal usually.

Anyhow, today I have 3 test subjects as per usual. The first is a human male named Daniel, who was oddly okay with being turned into a stuffed animal. I was kinda like "Hey want to help me with science by being a plush?" and then he was like "Yeah, okay. Sounds like it'd be a hoot." That wasn't the exact conversation but it was something quite like that. I have Dog, who is quite literally a dog. I don't know who names a dog "Dog," but hey, I'm not here judge. And lastly I have that dragoness lass Carly to volunteer yet again. You know for accidentally turning someone into a dragon woman she really likes volunteering for these kind of things. It makes it easier for me since she's usually hanging around here anyways! Those are the three subjects of the day, so why don't we get right to it? Or we could just hang around and drink tea. I wouldn't want to do that though, I hate tea. It's just hot flavored water, or iced flavored water and the flavor sucks. Stupid tea. What was I saying? Oh right, the experiments.

First up to the plate was Daniel. He got hugged by my fake cute little face and the changes seemed to start right away and were quite instant. Daniel's ears became triangular and moved to the top of his head while his nose became black and face pushed into a muzzle. Orange fur coated his body, with white fur on his chest and lower part of his head, black fur on his arms and legs, not unlike socks. His body shrank down and was forced onto all fours, his legs taking on a digitigrade bone structure. From behind him, a bushy orange tail with a white tip formed, leaving Daniel a full fox. It wasn't long before his whole body became even softer, all of his insides becoming cotton and fluff. His somewhat sharp claws merely stitched into his paws. Daniel's mouth was sewn into a smile with a mock tongue hanging out. His eyes became but mere marbles as the transformation concluded into a fox plushie. However, Daniel's clothes changed with him, fitting for his new fake form, sewn on so it couldn't fall off.

Next we have Dog. Okay, seriously? That's the laziest name I've ever heard. That's like naming a Weasel, well Weasel! Why would do that?! Give it a name like Patricia, or Samantha, I don't know just don't name animals after animals! Sorry, sorry. It's not my problem. Ugh, Dog was hugged by my sewn on face and soon his changes began. His body stiffened as his fur became but fabric. His eyes becoming shiny marbles while his tail stopped wagging forcefully. Dog was forced into a sitting position, perked up with his tongue hanging out. His ears were perked up happily, cardboard inside of them to keep them upright. Dog was now well, a dog but like a plushie version.

Lastly there's Carly. Still kinda surprised at how not bad at me she is for my little prank that made her well, a dragoness. I mean she likes it so I guess it's a double win? Anyways, we exchanged our usual hugs only this time it was like supercharged. Her wings ceased movement while her tail became stiff. Carly felt her insides becoming softer and softer until only fluff was left inside. Her claws lost their sharpness, still maintaining the appearance but not lethal in the slightest. Carly's hair changed into fabric but maintain much of the same qualities. Her muzzle stitched into a permanent smile, two blush spots on her cheeks. Lastly she shrank down, barely taller than a foot. Her clothes had shrank with her, now looking like a miniature plush of Carly and well, because that's actually what it was.

Those are the clips! Isn't she just the cutest. Say hi! Carly's a good sport, the hours actually almost up, so I'll put her off to the side. The plushies have a vague understanding of their surroundings, and regardless if a dog gets a hold of them and chewed to bits they will still return to normal because I'm not a hack. It's so easy to do I don't get why people don't. I could turn someone back to normal with a bit of oxygen they were near. It's that easy. Anyways, they do enjoy being cuddle, it sends a pleasant sensation akin to...well I guess actual cuddling. So, in closing-

"Surprise!"

Wait, what are you-

"You started the prank war." Carly, back to normal giggled down, picking up the tiny plush anthropomorphic rat in a lab coat off the ground; Amelia's "mouth" open with a very happy expression. "Say bye to the audience!" she said, waving Amelia's soft hand paw at the screen. "Hopefully she won't get me back for this..."
