As written by Mars and Lyman, Mars' friend and housemate

Day 0

Starting Card: The Lovers

PF1

Events: Magician Upright, Devil Reversed

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.

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.

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.
