The Plush Games - WIP - 1/31/20 (Patreon)

I had a bit of writers block on this one up till now, but now that the stage is set I should have an easier time writing the story. Thank you all for your patience.

       Tuka had always loved plushes, but never had the time to invest in such a hobby. Everyday on his commute from from college, he would walk past the hobby shop where a 12 inch stuffed bunny would always catch his eye. Sitting in the front window, it was made with cute light brown cotton, and was dressed up in a pair of cute black shorts and a small black top. The boy had wanted to buy it for quite some time, unfortunately he never quite got to it. Plus, he had always been extremely anxious and nervous, he didn’t want someone to judge him for buying a plush. Then one day, something changed.

        The last thing Tuka remembered was walking through his favorite park late night, before something is soft and pillowy grabbed him from behind. Now he found himself waking up on an extremely comfy couch staring at a snow white ceiling. The young man could hear dozens of voices around him, and quickly realized he wasn't alone. Sitting up, he found himself in a large white lobby-like room with a few dozen other people. The walls were strangely rounded in the corners and there were rows of white couches lined up back to backup like seats at an airport, each of them was made of white cotton with a simple but fancy rectangular design. Other than that the room is completely empty, there weren't even any doors, and some of the occupants in the room locked looked flustered and uneasy. By looks of it, they were all around his age of 18, talking is amongst each other trying to make sense of their situation. Some of the occupants were still asleep, but they were waking up one by one as they began examining their surroundings. 

        Stepping off the couch, Tuka realized that the floor was really soft as well. Looking down, he noticed that his shoes were gone, and his were practically sinking into the plush-like floor. The only thing in the room that wasn't made of stuffed cotton was the lights on the ceiling. Though subtly comforted by his plushy surroundings, he was nervous and didn't know what was going to happen to him. "Tuka?” said a familiar voice. Sitting next to him was his classmate from geometry his geometry class. Though he could not remember her name, her appearance was unmistakable due to her long brown ponytail, and her T-shirt with a cartoon fennec printed on it. “You ended up here too?” she asked. “Oh hey… What was your name again?" he asked. "My name’s Mia.” she replied. "Do you know how we got here?” Tuka shook his head. "I'm sorry, I just woke up. The last thing I remembered was taking a walk in the park.” he replied. Mia took a deep sigh slumping back into the couch. "I was just drawing fury art on my Cintiq, when something soft grabbed me from behind. I couldn't even scream because I passed out.”

        Allowing her body to sink into the soft plushy furniture, Mia took a deep breath as she calmed down. Seemed that they weren't the only ones come by their soft surroundings, there was a strange lack of panic within the room, many getting comfy in their couches, or even exploring the room further.  “On the plus side, it doesn't seem whoever put us here wants us hurt, given that the entire room is a giant pillow.” Tuka said. "I know right." replied Mia sitting back up. “Everything is soft like an asylum, even the floor feels like marshmallows. Who would even make a room like this?” she asked. Then, Tuka saw what looked like a doorway opening up in the wall on the other side the room. The sound of moving cotton caught everyone's attention, including Mia as they all looked over in surprise. Stepping out of the doorway was a woman wearing what appeared to be a cute cat kemono fursuit. The costume was light gray and was made of fine looking cotton, a long fluffy tail and cute droopy ears, and cute mitts for hands. The facial features of the suit was almost anime-like with large cute eyes and, and adorable facial expression. The woman was wearing a cute tube top with a sporty looking miniskirt and a pair of high heels, though how she could balance on the soft flooring with them was beyond anyone. “Hello everyone! Thank you for being here today!” Everyone look each other shocked, the suits mouth was moving as if it were alive.

        “Now, you must have an abundance of questions? Where are we? Why are we here?” she said dramatically with her paws on he cheeks. “The short answer, we brought you here because you all love soft and cuddly things! And we designed place to make you as comfortable as possible. ❤️” the woman was incredibly bubbly, with the energy and demeanor of an entertainer. Still suspicious, too get reached into his pocket to grab his phone, hoping to get some idea of his location, but he was shocked to realize it was gone. Checking all his pockets, it was nowhere to be found, not even his keys or ID. “Now as you all have probably noticed, we removed your shoes, cellular devices and another belongings for the time being, but they will be returned to you once we've sent you home.”  the cat woman explained. With that, everyone began checking their pockets as well, becoming alarmed that their valuables had disappeared. “You can't just do this!” said a young woman near the front. “You kidnapped us and took our belongings! Nothing about this is legal!” the catwoman walked up to the flustered young woman, placing her soft paw mitts on her shoulders. “Shhhh…” she cooed,  playfully massaging the woman's shoulders. “It's alright, we're not going to hurt you.” normally this would be off-putting for the young woman, but something about the cat woman's soft paws and friendly demeanor calmed her down. 

        Stepping towards the door, the cat woman pointed both her arms down the hallway while sticking a cute pose. “In fact we want to help you! Now if you will please follow me!” she said taking the lead down the soft plushy passageway. Although hesitant, a few followed her lead and one by one more of the crowd went along as well. Only dozen or so remained behind, and it talked amongst themselves anxiously, including Tuka and Mia. “We can just comply with her after being kidnapped, can we?” Tuka questioned. Mia tilted her head and thought letting out a sigh. “Well, it's either that or stay in this room, if we have any chance of getting out of here we should take probably take it.” After taking a deep nervous breath, they both followed the rest of the crowd through the long squishy hallway. The walls and floor of the passage were also made of plush-like material, even the lights on the ceiling looked like they were made of some kind of foam or cotton. Out of curiosity, Tuka poked one on while he was walking, and to his surprise it felt like a marshmallow. “Is everything here made of soft stuff.” he thought to himself.

        As they approached the end of the tunnel, Mia tapped Tuka's shoulder. “Hey, did you notice how life-like her suit was?” she asked. Tuka thought for a moment, back to when she entered the room, how energetic and authentic her movements were. It looked less like a suit and more like a live plush. “Maybe part of her costume was animatronic or something, that's probably why it looks so real.” he said. “But the way her entire body moves, it doesn't feel like I'm looking at someone need a suit. Plus there's something strange about her, and wouldn’t someone get hot in a fursuit like that?” Mia responded. The more the two thought about it, the more strange the situation seemed. Continuing down the hallway, it felt they were walking on the worlds larges bean bag with their feet sinking into the cushion-like floor with every single step. Reaching the end of the hallway, they found themselves in what looked like a ginormous stadium like structure, one that would be used in something like a sports event surrounded by a white dome. But it wasn't just big enough to hold the football field, because it could probably hold a few dozen. 

        Covering the grounds of the stadium was what looked like a small village, completely made out of plush. The houses were all light brown, resembling the design of a mud hut that you would see in Africa or, India, all square in shape but with rounded edges. It almost looked like the Mos Eisley set from star wars. Everyone was in awe at the sheer size of the area, literally everything in sight was made of plush, but even seeing with their own eyes it barely felt real. After the small crowd emerged from the tunnel it slowly closed behind them, sealing itself like an orifice. Everyone including Tuka and Mia we're shocked to see the walls moving by themselves, it looked so alive and made Tuka’s skin crawl. “Earlier… you said the woman's woman fursuit moved like it was alive right?” Tuka asked. "I didn't actually think I was actually onto something.” Mia responded. The cat suit woman stepped in front of the village and turned towards the crowd. “Now then, if everyone can gather around for me I'll explain why we have brought you all here today.” she said holding out her arms playfully. 

        Though un-easy most of the crowd complied, however, a few tried to sneak around the group and into the village hoping to find an escape on their own. This did not go unnoticed by the catsuit woman, as she giggled under her breath while maintaining her playful demeanor. “For starters, I would like to thank you all for being here today! It means so much to us.” she gleamed thankfully. “Hey!” shouted Mia. “You said that we're all here because we like soft and cute things, but what you need us for.” she asked suspiciously. “The cat woman just smiled back, chuckling as she placed her finger over her lips. "I'm glad you asked!” she answered pressing her paws against her cheeks. With that, she squeezed her face, distorting it like a pillow as her head appeared squished. The entire crowd gasped in shock, it was like there was no one inside of the suit. They all just watched in shock and awe the woman just squeezed her entire face like as it just all cotton. Releasing her hands from her face, she held her arms up in the air as if showing off. “Ta-Da!” she shouted. “This isn't a suit! I'm what you can call a living plush!” 

        The entire crowd was speechless, unable to process what they have just seen. Even Tuka and Mia were lost for words. "This is has got to be a dream right?” Tuka whispered. Mia didn't even know how to respond despite this, she wasn't alarmed and either was Tuka. “Well… A plush wouldn't want to hurt us right?" she asked. The cat woman blushed, wiggling her hips as she giggled at the crowd. 

        “Awww… you’re all speechless at how cute I am! ❤️" she wink placing her finger on her lips. "Well in that case, you love the contestants!"
