#1 of Atreo’s Stories

This was a rewrite and refine of an RP I did, I'm thinking of making some more, so keep an eye out


Faz never had to go to Goldenwhale, He was happy living in his suburban tow of Auburns Mill, but an old friend from elementary school lived here. The town was full of huge houses, absolutely massive ones, and all of varying styles. Some looked Victorian and gave off an eerie vibe, others were more modern and had a load of right angles, and some just looked like large versions of normal houses, but there was one house that stood out. On the front gate, it had the numbers "2003" in giant metal numbers, indicating the address. If Faz was right, This is where Atreo lived.

Atreo and Faz used to be great friends back in elementary school, They would sit together, eat lunch together, play on the playground together. He recently heard of Atreo when talking to some of his friends online, and Atreo was bought up. He's gotten big by collecting, buying, and re-selling pool toys. You love to swim, and thought it would be nice to talk to your old friend, catch up, swim around and maybe get a cool rare Pool Toy.

Faz drives up to the gate and presses the buzzer. A few minutes later, a voice comes over the intercom. "Hello?" asked the voice, which was hard to recognize over the low quality of the speaker. "Hey, This is Faz, Is this... Atreo?" Faz asked. A moment of silence passed, and the gates opened, allowing Faz in. Faz parked his car right out front of the house and looking and admiring its size. The outside looked to be made of Something smooth and white, and what looks to be gold but is more likely to be pyrite.

Faz knocks on the door and waits for a response. A few moments later, a tall black raven opens the door, he's wearing a golden looking suit, a full one too, The white undershirt, the golden tailcoat, the vest that was a perfect blend between the two, a gold top hat with a light yellow ribbon, and some silky black pants and large silky black bow tie as well, He was quite obviously showing off his wealth. "Hello," asked the Black Fox, in contrast to the tall raven's clearly formal attire, Faz looked like a street person, wearing a black and red checkered hoodie, black pants, and some white gloves. "Faz, You look, a lot different" Atreo stated, not knowing how to feel about his old friend. "You too! You're so much richer, and so much more formal too." Faz responded.

"Can I come in? I wanted to catch up." Faz asked. "But of course, You came all the way from the dumps, I might as well show you around and what I do." Atreo said, unintentionally insulting Faz, "Come this way". Faz and Atreo walked into the living room, from the outside the gold looked fake, and the trim looked fairly normal, but the inside was different, the gold trim looked real, or at least real gold plating, and it looked inflated, even though on touch, it's solid. The inflatable motif is quite strong here.

Upon entering the living room, Faz was informed to sit down while Atreo made some Tea and Cranberry Muffins. Faz sat down on the fancy sofa and waited. The sofa looked very expensive but it didn't feel too comfy, So out of boredom Faz got up and decided to look around. This place is massive so why not right? "It'd be like exploring, just like when I was a kid," he thought to himself. So he got up and looked around.

Going back out to the main foyer, Faz notices something down the side hall, an entrance into an unknown room. It was weirder than the others since they all had doors, but this one was just, there, No door, No frame, No anything, So he quickly walks over there to see what it is. Upon entering, he notices a few shower stalls, a bench, a few lockers, and a single toilet stall, along with a sink. This looked like a locker room, Not like one of those you would see at a baseball stadium, but more like one, you would see at a swimming pool.

Going to the other side and exiting through the opposite door, he finds two more, but not open passages like before, but just two large double glass doors. Looking through the one on the left, was what looked to be an entire water park. From what he can see, there's a couple of water slides, a lazy river, and what looks to be a wave pool in the back. Interested, he tries to enter, but it looks like it's locked. Guess Atreo didn't want people sneaking into his house from the back. To the right is what looks to be a huge standalone indoor pool, with diving boards, and a net to play water ball, This time the door was unlocked.

"Woah..." Faz whispered to himself in disbelief, "This place is big". This was certainly the largest swimming pool he's ever seen in person. Looking around more at the massive pool, he sees what looks to be a back door. He walks over there swiftly in favor of running as to not slip on the water. Opening the door, a large amount of light floods his eyes. After a few seconds, his eyes get used to the lighting. Inside is another large room, only slightly smaller than the room he was just in. There are lots of displays set up for a variety of pool toys, all inflated, and kept with the best care anyone could give.

The lighting of the room only makes the pool toys shine and shimmer even better than any normal ones he's ever seen. No wonder Atreo makes so much off these, they're amazing. Ignoring the red velvet rope separator, he picks up one that he recognizes. This was one he and Atreo played with way back when they were kids, maybe not the exact one but its certainly one of the same type. He takes it off the display and holds it. The smooth rubber through his gloved hands was filling him with nostalgia, it was so nice remembering all the times he had with Atreo and his other friends. This continues for a few moments until Faz snaps out of it and puts it back, but the emotions were so strong, that his claws unconsciously protruded from his paws, through his gloves, and into the pool toy. On his way out, he hears a hissing, like air escaping a bag... or... "Oh crap!" Faz thought, realizing what he did.

In a desperate attempt to not let it be found out, he tries to patch it with something, anything, but he couldn't think of anything to fix it with. A few seconds of a pure panic pass, then the door opens. "Faz, What are you doing here?" Asked a smooth, yet formal and unfeeling voice. "Uuuuuuhhhhhhhh......." Faz stared, not knowing what to do or say, his guilt beginning to build. "Faz, Do you want to talk about something?" Atreo asked, trying to get to something. "Uuuhhh... suuure....?" Faz accepted, terrified out of his mind. They both walk to the living room, and they both sit down.

"Faz, Do you know Airico?" Atreo asked. "Yeah...?" Faz answered, not seeing where this was going. "Do you know what happened to it?" Atreo questioned. "No? What happened?" Faz asked, slightly curious. "Airico shut down not too long after we left Middle School. It got caught in some controversy over shady business" Atreo explained, "Let me show you the reason for that". Atreo got up and left for a second, and returned with a weird machine. "This is an AISD, Also knows as an 'Automatic Infinite Stocking Device'. It's the thing that made pool toys from nothing." Atreo explained, wiping off the dust that covered the letters on the top of the machine, 'Airico A.I.S.D', "Let me show you how it works, Take off your gloves and put your paws right in these slots.". "Umm..." Faz got up and tried to leave, only to notice that the door was locked, "No thanks I'm good.". "It's perfectly safe, it's just for demonstration," Atreo said trying to comfort the scared fox. "I said I'm good," Faz said again. "And I said... PUT YOUR DAMN PAW INTO THE SLOT!" Atreo screamed, scaring the black fox again. "C-come on Atreo, We're friends! You don't gotta scream. C'mon we can talk about this, I'll pay for the toy! Just please let me go-o-o..."

Faz began to fall to the ground leaning against the locked door and began to cry. Also would sort himself out and sit on the couch. "You'll pay for it? Do you even know what you broke?" he asked suspiciously. "N-no.." Responded Faz, who was no longer wanting to be with his childhood friend. "You busted an original, perfect condition, non-modified, pre-scandal, Airico pool toy, for something like that in such a mint condition, it would be worth over 5 million USD, Because there were only 2 of those in such a perfect condition in the world, well... one now, thanks to you." Atreo explained, crushing Faz with the realization that if he tried to pay it off, he'd be in debt to Atreo for the rest of his life, "Do you think you could just pay it off? It's the most expensive pool toys currently in the world due to its sheer rarity, It's worth more than you ever have or ever will be worth in your life five times over. You can't just simply 'pay it off'". Faz was destroyed, and also super scared. Atreo strolled over to the cowering fox and grabbed his arm. Faz tried to escape but Atreo's grip was far too strong, it felt like one wrong move and his arm is broken. Atreo took Faz's white gloves off and shoved his paws into the weird contraption.

Faz yelled, trying to escape, but the second his paws were in the slots, he couldn't move them out, they were clamped in place. "Please! Atreo! Don't do this! I have a life! Please!" Faz pleaded, hoping his childhood friend would give him mercy. Atreo stood tall, looking down at the trapped fox, emotionlessly. He felt what could only be described as rubber gloves on his paws, they felt tight, too tight, like it was a full size too small, and kets getting tighter and tighter. A clear goop, changing to the color of his fur, came from his paws and around his arms. The slick and shiny goop looked like the same rubber pool toys are made of. That's when Faz realized.

"A-Atreo..?" Faz forced out. "Why was Airico shut down?". "Well my friend, They used this very machine to turn people who criticized them into pool toys, originally it would simply kill them, but I've modified it for my likings," Atreo explained, with so little emotion, he was almost like a robot. He was gonna become a pool toy? He didn't want that! He thought he'd just die or be seriously hurt, not this! "Please! Don't do this!" Faz began to plead again, squirming to escape the machine, but no matter what he did, he was stuck.

The goo went under Faz'z hoodie sleeves and around his torso, and up to his neck, but stopped there, at least in that direction. Though going down was different. It went down his chest and around his stomach, around his waist and covering his groin. It crawls down his legs and covering his feet, now feeling his entire body tighten in the rubber as it constricts him. Atreo takes off Faz's clothing. "I'll be taking these, you won't need them and they'll make a great souvenir," Atreo says. Eventually, the rubber covers Faz's face and forcing some of its self down his throat. He felt his insides also constrict into more rubbery stuff. Eventually, the machine lets go of Faz, and he falls to the floor, slowly being forced into a T pose because of the shape of the suit.

With how tightly the suit keeps his mouth shut, it was hard to speak. Atreo kicks the rubbery mass over so it's face up. He places a white nozzle on the creature's belly, where the belly button should go, The rubber instantly latches on and makes adjustments. "The rubber forces Faz's design onto the outer layer, that includes his face. It looks just like a slick and rubbery Faz, but Faz's expression shows that of one who was happy, a big silly grin is forced upon him. His torso begins to elongate and flatten, only being about 2 inches in thickness, and 7 feet in height, excluding his limbs, tail, and head.

Now with a mouth, Faz can say something, and he starts with "Please.... Turn me back... I don't want this...", though the silly grin stays as is. Atreo follows up with, "Come now friend, We've only just begun, Your body is grand on its own but you still need the mindset. After this next part, you'll feel great and happy to be my pool toy." Atreo says, putting a tube into the slot he had made before. The pump turns on and Faz begins to swell, his skin being even tighter because of the addition to his now bouncy and buoyant body. The air felt... nice, very nice. His smile grows more as Faz's mind begins to cloud up. "Why does this- feel... So good...?" Faz lets out. "Because deep down, you wanted this, didn't you," Atreo suggested. "He's right, you knew deep down this would happen... You wanted this didn't you." Faz thought, though trying to reject it. "No, I didn't! I just wanted to talk to my old friend! Not- not... N... o... t... " His mind went silent, just purely bliss, until another thought came up. "You love this, you never want this to end. You wanted this and you get it." This time Faz couldn't object, he.. Did he? Did he want this? "Yes... I do want this, I did want this" He thought, submitting to the will be forced upon him.

More thoughts arrived, this time explaining how to be a good pool toy. "I am a good pool toy. I am a great pool toy, I am a grand pool toy. Good pool toys serve their master... Good pool toys serve Master... Good pool toys serve Master Atreo." The pool toy thought. "You want only what Master Atreo wants, Only what he wants, Master Atreo is perfect, Flawless, You want to serve him, You want to do what he wants". The thoughts were no longer forcing themselves in, Faz has accepted it, whether he wanted to or not.

Faz couldn't think, all he wanted in life was to be with Master Atreo, He didn't want to think, All he could feel was the amazing feeling of his tight, shiny, smooth skin, and that of pure joy, pure bliss. "Well Faz, would you like to go for a swim?" Asked Master Atreo. "Yes, I would love that." pool toy Faz responded, excited to swim with Master Atreo.

Master Atreo Picks up the pool toy, The feeling of Master Atreo's hand, and his silk tux against pool toy Faz's rubber was amazing, it felt better than anything before, even more than he just felt. Being in the same room as Master Atreo when he changed out of his perfect tux and into his swimwear was nothing but an honor. Master Atreo takes the Pooltoy Faz back out, and into the warm sun of the back yard pool, and put into the cool water, soon the weight of Master Atreo was put of pool toy Faz's back, the feeling was amazing, Faz certainly couldn't have imagined a better way for this trip to end.
