Book Chapter - The Visitor - WIP - 1/9/22 (Patreon)

The test was going splendidly, and the specimen was reacting perfectly as expected without even a slight deviation in its form or activity. Andra typed her notes into her tablet, which prove difficult through the rubber gloves of her hazmat suit, especially through the transparent protective face shield, but she didn’t mind much. The room was circular, kind of like a small dome at least 34 ft.² in all directions, connected to a long secure corridor with a metallic sliding door to seal it off in case of emergency. It wasn’t what she was used to but perfect for testing Rie-Unos unique specimen, giving it a controlled environment to avoid any anomalous reactions. With her was a rubber-clad security guard, covered in white rubber with black gloves and stockings with a metallic visor over her eyes, as well as another lab worker who also wore a hazmat suit typing away at the consoles placed around the specimen.

In the very center of the room, floating underneath a circular disc, the specimen appeared as a rippling ball of reflective rubber, pulsing with strange vibrations which almost caused the room to shake, almost like a car stereo put on full blast. Paying no mind, Angela took notes on all of the forms and shapes the rubber ball had taken since the start of their test, hexagons, squares, and even a spiked form, all with perfect symmetry consistent with their hypothesis. However, the unexpected powerful vibrations coming from the orb made her skin crawl, reminding her of the earthquakes she experienced back home. Her tablet was filled with pages and pages of pleasing results, getting ready to close it up as she looked over to the security guard and coworker. “All right, I think we have enough, let’s wrap things up and get ready to...” before she could finish, she suddenly saw the sphere shifting again.

However, instead of changing into something symmetrical, it began stretching out vertically, taking on a rectangular shape. It had never morphed into something so specific. Andra quickly looked down at the console, thinking she may have accidentally typed in a command by she didn’t mean to write, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was like the sphere was acting on its own, sending a cold shiver down the young woman's spine. Even the security guard seemed a bit wary, and though armed, she wasn’t nearly as well equipped as the androids were. Andra’s lab assistant was the last to notice the rubbers anomalous reaction, looking up from her equipment for a split second before tilting her head up with a gasp. Finally, the latex became still, stretching out 9 x 5‘ as if to mimic the shape of a window or door.

Andra checked the console again as she was about to type in a new command to reset the transforming rubber. But instead, realizing that it may cause more harm than good with its unpredictable properties, she exited the command consul end looked at the analytics and internal readings of the object, seeing something that she just couldn’t explain. While the instruments took the rubber’s new form into consideration, the readings on its mass and dimensions were baffling. The rubber sphere read as if it had its own flux of gravity, and its dimensions seem to invert along with its vertical form. Andra stepped around the rubber object, seeing that it still had a two-dimensional shape contrary to the readings which she had read seconds earlier. The scanner read its dimensions is almost 4D, its vertical plane collapsing on itself as it was a broken 3-D model. It was almost like it was reading as a black hole, collapsing in on itself.

Just then, small ripples could be seen on the surface of the rectangular rubber, like a vibration on a small pond. Not long after did another ripple appear, and then another but with two waves this time. It was like a puddle reacting to footsteps that were growing closer and closer. Despite all three women being completely secure in their rubber suits, they all cautiously stepped away from the center of the room as far as they could, unsure what Rei-Unos experiment was up to. The rubber rippled more and more with every passing second, sending out vibrations with every pulse as if it was getting ready for something big. Then all of a sudden, it stopped. The readings on the specimen stayed the same, keeping the suspense high as the room was frozen with silence.

Under normal circumstances, anyone would have fled the room immediately had they the choice. Unfortunately, the blast door could only open from the outside via securities authorization, and with the specimen acting as strange as it was that wasn’t gonna happen anytime soon. As the seconds passed, nothing happened, the specimen seemingly inactive despite keeping its rectangular shape. Looking down from the object, Andra was about to place her tablet next to one of the consoles, right as a humanoid silhouette suddenly bulged out of from rubber surface, reaching towards her with its hand outstretched. Frightened out of her mind, Andra just simply dropped her tablet without so much as it sound as she jumped back. The figure was lunging forward, its mouth stretched out as if trying to scream, it was like a latex ghost had emerged from the experiment.

Suddenly, with a loud snap, the liquid rubber pulled away from the frightening silhouette, splashing back against the specimen as the figure dropped to the floor with a loud thud. Angela couldn’t believe her eyes, laying before her was what looked like a werewolf, one with pastel green and light brown fur, wearing what appeared to be sporty shorts. The wolf gasped and hyperventilated as if in shock, laying mostly still on the cold floor, giving Andra a moment to get a good look at its form. Rather than looking monstrous, the wolf's figure appeared rather lean and fit, like a bipedal swimmer as opposed to a mythological beast. After regaining its bearings, the wolf pushed itself up on his hands and knees looking up to Andra with a winded look on his face. Finally getting over her initial shock, the young woman reached behind her, and grabbed the emergency quarantine button attached to the waist of her suit.

The wolf’s eyes widened as she pulled out the gadget from behind her, quickly swiping it out of her hand before lunging towards her without warning. Time almost seemed to freeze for Andra, watching the wolf’s jaws open wide with its clawed hands reaching out to grab her shoulders. Just when she thought that it was the last thing she would ever see, a black ball suddenly smacked into the wolf’s face, thrown by the security guard with the metallic visor. Taken off guard, the wolf stumbled and fell to his left side, narrowly missing Andra before the ball suddenly unraveled into a large black sheet. Before he even knew what was happening, everything went dark, tight, and constricting as he was squeezed from all sides in what felt like stretchy latex. With the strange intruder finally subdued, writhing on the floor in a tight rubber cocoon, the security guard activated a silent alarm by touching a button on her visor. “We have anomalous activity down here, and unknown my form has emerged from the experiment please and back up!” the security guard said.

Dizzy, head thumping, and feeling as if he was tumbling in a washer, the young wolf let out a weak groan as he reached up to rub his head. “Ugh… what a weird nightmare…” he thought, attempting to sit back up, only to quickly lose his balance as he fell back against something soft and jiggly. The wolf was so dizzy he couldn’t even sit up straight, almost like a hangover without the headache. Slowly, he opened his eyes to see a curved dome-like ceiling with a bright light shining above him. The wolf squinted, shielding his eyes with his left paw as he struggled to get his sight clear. “Ugh… Did I fall asleep on the bench again?” he thought to himself, hearing some muffled voices somewhere nearby. Thinking he had taken a short nap, he shook the dizziness off and attempted to sit back up, only for the surface beneath him to wobble like jelly. Confused, he opened his eyes completely, and noticed that there was a strange reflective shine above him. Then, with a simple scan of his surroundings, he suddenly realized his situation.

Surrounding him were multiple figures wearing orange rubber hazmat suits in a metallic spherical dome-like room, with consoles and what looked like monitoring equipment lining the walls. It was almost completely identical to the room he was in before. But what was most bizarre, was the flexible transparent bubble surrounding him, floating just 3 feet above the floor. Completely at a loss for words, he finally came to the horrifying realization that what had happened earlier wasn’t a dream. The bubble surrounding him was very soft and jiggly, almost like sitting on a trampoline made of Jell-O. Bringing his attention back to his supposed captors, it seemed that they were observing him as if he were some kind of exotic animal. Even more puzzling was their species, he couldn’t recognize what they were, lacking any fur or notable features that he could identify.

“What do you mean? It came out of the specimen?” said a deep feminine voice. The wolf quickly turned his head around to see the woman he had attempted to strike before, talking with a tall dark-skinned lizard woman of some kind. He was almost relieved to see a species he could identify, however, couldn’t put his finger on what breed she was. Even for a lizard, her skin had an almost seamless shine as if slathered in oil, making her nearly impossible to identify. Without a clue what was going on, all he could do was observe whatever conversation she was having with the hazmat suit an individual. “I don’t know how to explain it, the shape of the specimen was completely two-dimensional, but in the instruments, it appeared as if it was warping into itself.” the woman in the orange suit explained, looking up from her tablet and back to the tall lizard. “Rei-Uno, it’s like the rubber specimen morphed into a door, or some kind of gate.

“A door?” the wolf thought to himself, thinking back to how this all transpired… It was the weekend, college midterms were over and he was getting into his swim trunks in the changing room of his school’s swimming pool. Running later than usual, all his friends and teammates were already out and ready to start practice, while he was still getting into his swimwear. With haste, he stuffed all of his clothes into his locker and power walked his way out of the bathroom and into the pool area, where his teammates were already lined up in position, ready to greet the coach. On his team was his best friend Lock, a grey hyena who was slightly shorter than him, and his dorm mate Jewel, a chocolate lab who had a no-nonsense personality despite his family face. There were plenty others among their team, but it seemed one of them was missing, an orange fox whose name he couldn’t quite remember, but stuck out because of his mischievous personality.

Looking back to the changing room, he thought that he might be running late as well, but there was still no sign of him. Curious, he turned to Lock and tapped him with his paw to get his attention. “Hey, do you know where the jokey guy went? ”he whispered. “Sush Jax, here she comes.” he responded, turning his head back forward. Out of the women’s locker room came a tall elegant and serious-looking leopard woman, sporting a dark red lifeguard one-piece swimsuit, looking at her clipboard as she approached the team of lined up male swimmers. The leopard’s figure was very very fit, with a very confident and elegant walk, stepping on foot in front of the other with her hip swing side to side. However, her feminine demeanor barely distracted from her ripped thighs and calves, as well as her arms and upper body clearly indicating just how seriously she took swimming.

As beautiful as she was, she looked like she could hug just as easily as she break someone’s back. Her attitude alone was enough to keep the students and staff‘s respect. Looking up from her clipboard she looked over the team counting them with her eyes before crossing her arms.” Alright boys, we’ve done enough labs over the past week so today we’re going to practice your diving on the high board today.” she commanded. No one dared to complain, but some of the team were visibly disappointed that most of the practice will be spent waiting in line. Unable to get his mind off of their missing teammate, Jax threw his hand up wondering why they were starting when they were a player short. “Yes Jax?” she asked, putting her left hand on her hip.

“I think we’re missing someone… the fox guy I think?” he pointed out. The leopard woman sighed under her breath, taking a couple of moments to think about how to answer his question. “Ah yes, you mean Mr. fiddle. He’s been dismissed from the pool after playing a rather distasteful prank on the female water polo team. Allegedly he poured a couple of dozen bubble bath bottles in the pool before they practiced.” she explained. The boys all looked at each other, before bursting into a fit of giggles, Jax included. “Yeah yeah, go ahead and laugh it up boys. We had to use a crowbar to get that poor swimmer out of one of those bubbles.” she said, unamused as she looked back down at her clipboard.

“Anyway, if we’re done with all that, let’s get started.” she instructed. On her order, the team started in a single file line behind the diving board, with Jax somewhere in the middle. Each swimmer would wait for the instructor’s permission before diving, waiting for her to take notes on her clipboard before calling the next one in line. The painful part was waiting for each swimmer to climb the ladder, though they didn’t even bother to make conversation with one another as not to annoy their strict coach. After what felt like forever, Jaxs finally went up for his dive, looking down at the pool below as he waited for the coach to blow her whistle. The young wolf had done this dozens of times, and at this point waiting in line just to do a simple dive was nothing short of tedious. Finally, the leopard woman blew her whistle, and Jax jumped in with his arms over his head.

But a split second after he jumped, he noticed the water rippling below him, seeing a tiny black dot in the center. Then without warning, and before he could even make sense of it, the water beneath him turned black and glossy, taking on the consistency of rubber or some kind of oil. Panicked, he lost his diving form and began flailing about before falling into the strange substance. Instead of splashing into the pool like liquid, or slamming into it like concrete, the material only stretched underneath him, as if he was sinking into a giant sheet of latex. Jax couldn’t feel any water beneath him, just sinking further and further into the stretchy surface as it began molding to his form and tightening around him like a bodysuit. Frightened, he tried to scream, but his mouth was blocked by the tight rubbery substance, silencing his cries as he stretched his hands out, praying that he could claw his way out of the elastic material.

It was like he had dived into a literal nightmare, descending into it felt like a bottomless abyss of smothering latex, unable to see hear or feel anything, as if falling into limbo. Then, the stretchy substance suddenly disappeared from his body, falling onto a cold metal surface with a loud clang. Left dizzy and disoriented, it took him a few seconds to finally pull himself together before he noticed the strange unfamiliar creature in the orange hazmat suit standing before him. Back to the present, Jax still couldn’t make sense of how he ended up here, pressing his paws on the surface of his bubble, stretching out only slightly like some kind of elastic-plastic. The air felt so sterile, and everything was muffled around him thanks to the taut surface of his prison. “This thing is so firm, but it still stretches, like some kind of rigid jelly.” he thought, thinking back to how the water polo swimmer must’ve felt when she was bubbled.

Turning his attention back to the two in front of him, he saw that the lizard-looking woman was in deep thought, considering what the woman in a hazmat suit had told her. “So my memory jell, the same stuff we used on that bubble ball prototype, warped in on itself and brought this creature here?” she asked, tilting her head toward the bubbled wolf. “That’s what happened.” Andra replied. “But the strange thing is that it wasn’t visible to the human eye.” The android simply tilted her head again, her optics widening slightly as she couldn’t understand what she meant. “To us, it just looked like a flat rectangle, but according to the instruments, there was he distortion in the object that caused it to fold in on itself. Like some kind of wormhole had been created the inside of it.”

Rei-Uno put her hand underneath her chin, breaking eye contact for a couple moments before looking back to Andra. “I don’t know how to explain the wormhole, but it’s possible that you couldn’t see it because humans just can’t visually perceive four-dimensional space the same way machines can. Perhaps that’s why it looked like a flat shape to you.” she explained, thorough sounding a bit unsure, as she still felt skeptical about the whole thing.” But there’s something else, when this werewolf guy came through, we could see his silhouette stretching through the liquefied rubber, resisting him with it surface tension.” she explained. “Hmmm…” Rei-Uno scratch the bottom of her rubbery chin looking back to the wolf was now wide awake and looking straight at them.

“We’ll discuss this further at a later time, give me a full report tomorrow.” she said stepping closer to the bubble. “I’m going to have a chat with our new puppy.” Jax narrowed his eyes at the shiny-skinned lizard, letting out an annoyed huff as Andra left the room on her command. Rei-Uno and Jax just stared at each other in silence. The android ogled his physique, tilting her head to look at him from different angles as she scanned him with her optics, all while Jax just waited to see what she was going to do with him. “So little man, do you speak English?” she asked casually. remaining cautious, Jax chose not to answer, waiting until he could better understand his bizarre situation. “Well, it looks like you can understand me.” Rei-Uno said with a confident look in her eyes. Jaxs eyes widened curiously, wondering if it was that obvious.

“The expressions on your face, the way you react to my questions, plus you were listening to us talk earlier. It’s pretty obvious.” she boasted, crossing her arms. Seeing how well she was able to read him, he tried not to react, but he was anything but a poker face. “Oh, don't worry little one, we don’t want to hurt you, we’ve simply never seen anything like you.” she said with a cooing tone in her voice as she stepped closer. “This bubble is just a safety measure, it’s for your protection as much as it is ours.” Skeptical, the young wolf backed away from the wall of the bubble. “Oh don’t be scared.” she said putting her hand behind her back. “Just so there’s no hard feelings.” With that said she took out a tiny pink ball from behind her back, which was the size of a marble. “We still need time to figure out what kind of subsidence you require to eat, but in the meantime, you can chew some of this if you’d like.” she said, flicking it towards a bubble with her thumb.

Somehow, the ball passed through the membrane and nailed Jax on the forehead, wincing as he instinctively snatched it in his paw. Rei-Uno couldn’t help but giggle, though kept it subtle enough so the wolf would notice. Jax looked closely at the gum, at first it looked more like a pill, but then recognized the W written on the front, just like a similar WAD brand he saw on commercials back at home. “It's gum, I’m assuming you have it where you’re from? It’s sugar-free so it should be perfectly safe. And you’ll have something to do while we try to figure out where you came from.” she said, walking over to one of the nearby terminals as she put her head down into her tablet. Seeing as the gum in his hand was familiar, and the sincerity in the lizard woman’s voice, he loosened up a bit and began to calm down. However, he couldn’t ignore the other hairless creatures who were closely observing him in their rubber hazmat suits.

Jax found himself blushing under his fur, feeling like some kind of museum exhibit, or like a goldfish and a giant bowl. Wanting to take his mind off things, he plucked the gum into his mouth and began to chew, trying not to make eye contact with the surrounding lab workers. Thanks to his sharp teeth, the gum was easily chewable, and tasted quite pleasant with a cherry light flavor. With nothing else to do, he simply sat in a lotus position and looked down at the floor below him, with only his gum to keep him occupied. That’s what he began to notice something strange, the gum was getting chewier, to the point where it almost felt like it was bubbling. I feel like the gun was expanding like a marshmallow sticking to his teeth with every chew. Jax desperately tried to spit it out, but it was quickly filling his maw, and expanding like dough.

Whimpering in panic, he continued to chew and chew, hoping to soften it up but it only spread further and further throughout his mouth until it began expanding over his lips. Eventually, he could no longer open or even stretch his jaw, the gum practically gluing it shut until all he could do what’s the wine. “Something wrong?” Rei-Uno teased, looking up from one of the panels. “Guess my gum left you speechless. Not that you were willing to talk to begin with.” Jax looked back to the lizard woman with a confused and helpless frown, his jaw aching from his fruitless struggle to open his mouth. For the first time, he found himself wanting to communicate, to ask her why she tricked him. But now the gum felt more like caramel, becoming solid enough to keep him silenced. The lizard woman walked up to the bubble once more staring directly at the whimpering wolf with a confident look in her eye.

“That’s for trying to bite my friend you sniveling mutt. I’ll remove the gum later when you’re feeling more cooperative, then we can talk about where you came from.” she said with her head tilted upwards, with a subtle growl in her voice that made him flinch. With that, she looked back down to the console and turned up one of the knobs. Suddenly, with a soft creak, he felt the bubble shift around him, the floor beneath him becoming slightly more curved as he looked around at his prison. The walls were growing foggy, turning more opaque with every second. With a muffled yelp, he curled up into a fetal position as he looked all around him, seeing the walls of his bubble collapsing in on itself. Jax’s prison was getting smaller and smaller, until it was nearly half its original size, not even big enough to stand up in.

Now he could barely even see through the bubble, the outside becoming very foggy and thick. Jax could even feel the surface beneath his rump getting thicker, feeling more like he was sitting on a thick sheet of jelly than soft plastic. With the bubble now smaller than 5 feet, the membrane had become practically opaque, sending him into a claustrophobic panic. Quickly, Jax spread his arms and legs out wide just in time to catch that contracting walls in an attempt to keep them from shrinking any further. Unfortunately didn’t stop the bubble, merely stretching out slightly as his arms and legs were slowly pushed to his sides. Just when he thought that he was going to be mummified and cocooned, the bubble suddenly,  stopped leaving him with only 4 feet of space.

At this point however, Jax was so flustered he didn’t even notice, still fighting as if the walls were still closing in on him. Rei-Uno just smirked as she watched the tiny bubble bulge and wiggle in all directions, listening to his barely audible whimpers as he tucked her tablet underneath her armpit. “Increase the bubble’s size once the mutt completely tires himself out, I have a couple of special tests I would like for him to participate in later today.” she commanded to the lab workers, walking out of the room as two mechanical sliding doors shut behind her. Meanwhile, the bubble wiggled and shook in the air as Jax squirmed from within. Every kick, every punch, every push, just slipped and stretched along the jiggly inner surface, as if he was trapped in a sack of wet rubber. To make matters worse, the thickness of the bubble had made it much stronger, springing his arms and legs back in place every time he pushed against it.

Growing weary, the young man soon stopped his struggles, sliding to the bottom of his bubble with his arms and legs spread beside him, finally realizing that it was no longer shrinking. Painting through his nose, he just stared up at the ceiling of his bubble, trying to keep himself calm. He didn’t know how he could still see inside of his prison, the inner surface maintaining an opaque white hue as if he was trapped in a thick stretchy lightbulb. The young wolf tried closing his eyes, even shifting his arms and legs around to get more comfortable but his legroom was incredibly limited. No matter how much he squirmed, he wasn’t able to get into a better position as the bubble didn’t offer him much. Jax tried listening in on the lab workers outside to distract him, but that’s when he realized that he couldn’t even hear them. Jax even pressed his ear up to the cold clammy surface of his bubble, but the best he could hear was some faint muffled voices.

This only made him feel more trapped, completely cut off from the outside as his entire world had become small and cramped, confined in a tight smothering gelatinous bubble in nothing but his swim trunks. Jax’s panting became heavier and heavier, whining for his captors to let him out of his tiny prison, but he couldn’t even beg or communicate, like a caged feral animal. “Why is this happening? I don’t wanna be here, I want to go back home.” he thought, shivering as he tried to hold back his tears. Unable to quell his panic, his strength found a second wind as he continued his struggles. The bulges and squirms could be seen from the outside, but the lab workers paid no mind, while some just took notes documenting his behaviors. At first, the bubble didn’t stretch that far due to its thick membrane, but to the worker’s surprise, the outline of his paws could still be seen through the stretchy material.

By now, the bubble’s membrane should’ve been at least several inches thick, which surprised the workers as it would’ve taken an inhuman amount of strength to push the jelly that far. Even so, the bubble still proved too resilient for Jax to break, only stretching around his paws and feet while slowly contracting back into its cramped shape. The young wolfs heart race as he felt the bubble resisting his struggles, finding another burst of energy as he straightened his form, stretching the slippery bubble from top to bottom. This caught the attention of all the lab workers, looking up from their equipment as a bubble that should have been keeping him in a fetal position was being stretched to its limits. Even stranger, the outline of his fingers appeared a lot more pointy than before, even causing the membrane to thin around the tips of his fingers.

It was almost like he had claws, something they swore he didn’t have when they first contained him inside of the bubble. Suddenly several of the points slipped through the membrane, revealing sharp claw-like nails on his fingers. Suddenly, Jax felt the membrane slip down his arms, the bubble quickly receding to its original spherical shape as his half-naked body was released and flung out and onto the ground. With no idea what had just happened, he just laid on the floor with his eyes wide open, feeling as if he had just ripped through a sheet of cold rubbery plastic as he breathed in the fresh air. Looking over to his left paw, he realized that his nails had suddenly grown in again, letting out a sigh of relief, despite how tedious it would be to file them back down. Meanwhile, the bubble jiggled and wobbled above him, trying to recover its original shape

Quickly getting back on his feet, he was relieved to see that the intimidating lizard woman was gone, leaving the lab workers in shock as they stepped away from the free wolf. With nothing holding him back, he stepped over to the sliding metal door entrance, jamming his claws between them, as he attempted to pry it open, finding little success. But then noticed a shadow looming over him, looking over his shoulder to see that the bubble was making its way back towards him, as if it was getting ready to reclaim him. With a shocked wine, he suddenly got another burst of adrenaline, ripping the door open more than a foot wide. Wasting no time, he quickly stepped through the hole leaving the damaged door behind him as he sprinted through what appeared to be a dark hallway. It was like something out of a nightmare, his heart sinking once he realized that the hall was several yards long, sprinting as fast as he could but the exit was still so far out of reach. With adrenaline still pumping through his body, he painted heavily through his nose, the whole time wishing he could just rip the gum from his mouth to breathe more easily.

But then, he noticed something strange, as the gum felt like it was putting more pressure against his lips. Jax’s mouth was still sealed up, but it felt like he was blowing into the gum with every breath he took. Realizing how much more flexible to gum had suddenly become, he made an effort to breathe through his mouth more, hoping to blow a bubble big enough to remove the gum entirely. Not even a quarter way through the hall, his blowing began to slow him down, but with promising results as he could see a small bubble growing from his snoot. It was working, the more he blew, the further his mouth could open, allowing him to blow faster and faster at the expense of his speed. Eventually, the bubble grew as big as his head, forcing him to stop entirely as he was unable to see past the large pink sphere.

Fearing that the gelatinous bubble was still behind him, he quickly grabbed the gum with both of his paws and attempted to pull it away, but only with his palms, in fear of his claws popping the bubble which would result in a sticky mess over his face. Unfortunately, the gum only stretched a couple of inches before slapping back against his lips like a rubber balloon. Realizing that something wasn’t right he stopped breathing through his mouth, and instead through his nose, but the bubble didn’t stop growing. With a muffled groan, he continued his attempts to push the bubble off of his face but with the gum still filling his mouth, it proved impossible. Pretty soon, the bubble was twice the size of his head, and he could even feel the pressure of the inflation inside of his mouth, as if his maw was stuffed with an inflatable gag. A look of helplessness washed over his face, his eyes wide and confused as he continued pawing at the large gum. “What’s happening? What kind of horrible gum is this?” Thoughts race through his mind as the bubble was now half the size of his body, growing to a similar size as the bubble he was previously trapped in.

Feeling the diameter of the bubble with his paws, his whimpers were briefly silenced has his pupils dilated, thinking that perhaps he was being forced to blow another bubble for himself. In a panic, and without a second thought, he plunged his claws into the bubble, pinching his hands deep into the membrane. At first, nothing happened, but as it let out a low echoing creak, the hallway shook with a loud bang. Everything went blank, but as he came to, Jax could feel himself wobbling about, his ears ringing and his vision blurred. The wolf let out a long exhausted moan, though it came out muffled, most likely because of the throbbing in his ears. It felt like he was spinning, and he wanted to reach up and rub his head but he realized he couldn’t move his arms. It was only at that point that he noticed a strange tight hugging sensation around his body from the neck down.

It felt as if something was weighing heavily upon him while he stood, at least that was the best way he could describe it in his current state. After a few moments, once he was able to shake it off, the first thing in view was the long hallway. But he could see traces of pink covering the surrounding walls, likely what remained of the bubble after it burst. The first thing he thought of was to continue running, but he found that he still couldn’t move. Though a bit dizzy, he tried harder and harder to move his body, but he felt extremely heavy, like those nightmares where he couldn’t pick up his feet to run. It was only after he stopped and shook his head that he was able to completely get himself back together, looking down at himself with a startled muffled moan. ”Mmmph!?” he yelped, his mouth muffled by a large sheet of gum that tightly covered his entire body from below his nose.

Jax's arms and legs were completely pinned to his sides, wrapped up under a tight shiny coat of pink gum sealing him to the floor below. Almost every curve and contour of his body could be seen outlined under the skintight gum, leaving little to the imagination as if he was vacuum packed under a sheet of latex rather than a wad of popped bubble gum. The inside of course was a completely different story, he could feel the stretchy substance sticking to his body and fur like some kind of gummy glue. Though it didn’t hurt, he quickly found just how tough it was, as he tried to pull his arms away, stretching his elbows out just a few inches before snapping back against his torso. “Mmmph!” he groaned, frustrated out of his mind as he squirmed within the gum.

The wad had such a tight hold on him he could barely bend his legs, only able to wobble back-and-forth like a worm sticking out of the dirt, making him more and more frustrated with every passing moment. Once it was clear that he wasn’t going anywhere, Jax stopped squirming and tried to catch his breath. Being glued to the floor with the same stuff that had gagged his mouth, it was clear that struggling wasn’t going to accomplish anything, especially since it was also gunking up by his Fur. Fortunately for him, it didn’t seem that the gum caused any pain to him, despite being practically glued into bondage he couldn’t feel it pulling on his fur. Granted the sheet was pretty thin, but it still it felt almost like stretchy rubber more than anything else.

“What kind of gum is this? It doesn’t hurt but such a thin layer shouldn’t be enough to keep me pinned like this. he thought himself. With that, he stopped squirming and took a moment to assess the situation. Calmly, he began to shift his arms and legs back-and-forth to better test its elasticity. It definitely felt strange with how restrictive it was, pulling his body back into place instead of stretching out like regular gum, almost like a bondage cocoon. Without a doubt, the gum wasn’t simply given to him as a way for the lizard woman to gag him, but a safety measure in case he did indeed escape from his bubble. But, rather than feeling crushed this somewhat gave him hope. “She knew I might escape that bubble prison, so maybe…” he thought to himself stretching his claws out beneath the gum.

“If I could rip through that thick bubble, then I should have no trouble ripping my way through this gum.” he grinned underneath the tight gag, working his claw at the gum underneath hoping to eventually cut himself out of it. But then, he felt something bump against the side of his head, quickly looking next to him in surprise. Beside him was a small pink bubble, no bigger than a pool ball. Curious, he tilted his head at the small sphere, unsure of what to think of it at first. But he soon dismissed it, knowing that he didn’t have much time to waste as he went back to using his claws to cut his way out. Jax thought the bubble was simply a piece of the gum that survived popping, thinking it wouldn’t be any trouble.

Soon enough, he could feel his claw cutting through the gum, and he could even see the outline of his finger through the sheet, bringing a spark of hope in his eyes as he doubled his efforts. But then the bubble bumped against his cheek again, distracting him as he tried to push it away. But the bubble didn’t budge, as he quickly found that it had stuck itself to his face. Annoyed, Jax tried shaking it off, but the bubble only wobbled and jiggled against his cheek, proving just as sticky as the gum covering his body. It didn’t take him long to realize he was just wasting his time, trying to ignore the bubble as he went back to clawing at the inside of his enclosure, only to freeze as the sound of soft hissing air could be heard from all around him. Hesitantly, the young man tilted his head up, his eyes dilating as his stomach dropped. All the bits and pieces of gum that splattered on the walls and floor were now puffing up and inflating all around him.

Petrified, the young man could only watch in shock as the hallway echoed with loud hissing air, nearly deafening his sensitive ears as he winced in discomfort. Each wad of gum seemed to inflate at a different volume, as some became as big as dogeballs while others were merely the size of a tennis ball. It was only then that he looked over and noticed that the bubble against his cheek had begun to grow, giving him goosebumps as it began to subtly cover the right side of his face. ”Mmmoh..” he whimpered, tugging at his gummed-up feet in a reactionary attempt to run, wanting desprately to escape his hopeless situation as the hallway seemed to get smaller and smaller around him. Jax felt like a mouse in the sticky trap, it wasn’t bad enough that he was already bound by the very gum that was already stuck in his mouth, but whatever was the come, it clearly wasn’t done with him. Then, hearing a loud squeaking sound akin to stretching rubber, he turned his attention back to the surrounding hallway, seeing that one of the inflating wads had become completely spherical, before suddenly separating from the wall with a soft Pop. Now it simply floated in the air, just like the one that had attached to his cheek, but then it slowly began floating toward him.

Jax gulped underneath his gag, his eyes focused on the pink sphere approaching him as he instinctively leaned backward, helpless and unable to getaway. To make matters worse, he heard more stretching and squeaking around him, looking back to the inflating wads as they began pulling themselves from the walls, floor, and ceiling, some now even as big as beach balls as they all floated above the floor in the air. But not even seconds later did they slowly begin to conjugate on him. With goosebumps all over his body, he doubled his efforts to free himself, clawing the inner membrane of his prison In hopes of ripping it open, but it was too late. Jax felt something soft bump against his rear, prompting a startled whine from the helpless pup, followed by a subtle hisss as the pressure along his backside. A cold shiver ran up his spine, looking behind him to see how many more there were.

It was worse than he thought, to his misfortune, they were just as many bubbles behind him as there were in front, closing in on him so slowly that it was almost taunting. There was nothing he could do, no way he could run, and even if he could, he was completely surrounded. There were at least over two dozen if not more from both the front and the back, not even including the two stuck to his rear end cheek. As they made their final approach, all he could do was wince as he prepared himself for what he can only assume was another round of bubbly bondage. One of the bubbles stuck to his left shoulder, one on his right thigh, and one against his midsection, all three inflating the moment they touched him. The one on his belly was as big as a bowling ball, with the other two being no smaller than pool balls. Against his better judgment, the wolf couldn’t help but blush as the bubbles pressed on him, adding to the already tight snugness of his gummy cocoon.

Before he even knew it, more bubbles were piling on him than he could keep track of, sticking to his legs, chest, and back all at once with no signs of stopping. What’s worse, the bubble on his cheek had grown to about twice its original size, obscuring his vision and getting dangerously close to covering his right eye. That’s when he felt one of the bubbles snag underneath his chin, sticking against his neck as it began to puff up underneath his chin. This alarmed the helpless wolf, as he could feel the gummy membrane pressing up against his throat and expanding around his neck. All the while, more bubbles continue piling on him, covering almost half of his cocoon, and squeezing him further with every second. It didn’t take long for panic to sit in, pressing his chin down in hopes of popping the bubble squeezing around his neck. Unfortunately, this only warped the bubble further, causing it to further expand around his throat as the air was redistributed to its sides.

“Mmph!” he squeaked, gasping as the pressure around his neck grew, making it a little too tight for comfort. Jax didn’t know what to do, the bubbles were now squeezing him twice as much as the cocoon was, and now one of the bubbles was on the verge of strangling him. Jax couldn’t even tilt his head down to look at himself, but he could still feel every bubble that attached to him, bunching up around his legs and his chest area, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. By now, it was clear that if he didn’t do something soon, he would most certainly be smothered, if not by the gummy collar growing ever closer to closing around the back of his neck. The wolf continued his desperate attempts to claw the inside of the interior of the gummy membrane, but it was so difficult to move it felt nearly impossible, making much less progress than before.

While he continued his desperate attempts to claw himself free, one of the numerous bubbles drifted toward his lower half, making its way directly between his legs. Meanwhile, while the bubble under his chin was dangerously close to encapsulating his neck, he tried to wiggle his head back-and-forth in an attempt to slow its progress, while still clawing at the inside of his cocoon. Then his struggles were suddenly interrupted as a muffled gasp escaped his lips, bending forward as he felt one of the bubbles press directly against his groin. A pleasant tingling sensation ran up his body, letting out a euphoric moan as all his muscles simultaneously relaxed. It was at this moment where the bubbles finally managed to wedge the way in every nook and cranny of the gum outlining his body, with the gummy collar finally conjoining around the back of his neck, covering him up completely from the chin down.

“Oooohhhh…” he moaned, closing his eyes as he was tightly squeezed all over, the bubbles now expanding outwards as they continued to swell over him. In only a few moments, Jax found it impossible to move or even wiggle his fingers, making his freshly grown claws completely useless, with the bubble on his head now covering more than half of the right side of his face, slowly creeping over the top of his head. All the while, the bubbles only continued to get tighter, with each one bunching up against each other and squeezing him even tighter, especially the one against his groin. In his ecstasy, the dog collar also puffed up significantly, squeezing his neck and making it all that much harder to think. The wolf's eyes slowly began to close, desperately trying to fight his impending drowsiness, but at this point in his bondage, even without the collar choking him, there was very little he could do in his helpless state.

The only thing keeping him upright was the bubbles themselves, propping him up like a manikin with their all-encompassing pressure. The collar also began to swell up past his neck, even pressing against the one stuck to his face. Cocooned in what felt like an inflatable coffin, the surrounding bubbles slowly hugged him into submission until he could barely even think of resisting. Pretty soon, everything but his eyes slowly disappeared underneath the puffy layer of the inflatable gum, only seconds from once again being sealed away in a tight bubble prison. Just when he thought he was going to lose consciousness completely, the hallway shook with a thundering pop.

“Mmmhp!” Completely dazed, the young wolf felt as if his entire body had just been slapped with a rubber band. Wobbling back-and-forth, he took a deep breath through his nose before regaining some of his composure, only to realize that he was still completely covered in gum. Not only that, but it was much tighter than it was before, as if there was an extra layer of gum wrapped around him. Fortunately, it seemed he could still open his eyes, but from what he could see, his nose and eyes were the only parts of his face that weren’t covered in gum. Jax also couldn’t see any excessive gum covering the walls like before, making it reasonable to assume that what remained of the expanding bubbles were now stuck to his body.

The young man groaned in frustration, struggling to move his body as if he was wrapped up in a constricting rubber band. Knowing he didn’t have any time to waste, he tried to move his hands underneath a tight gum. Seeing as he no longer had to worry about any more bubbles, he still had a small chance to cut himself free before someone could come to get him. While he couldn’t move his arms, he could still wiggle his fingers and that was a start. But then, he heard a sound that made his stomach drop, the sound of soft hissing air around him.  And indeed, to his horror, he could feel the gum puffing up around him ever so slowly, pressing in on him like segmented inflating cushions.

What’s more, it seemed they were puffing up in the same spots as before, especially the one around his neck and on his groin, making him blush as his manhood was gently pressed. Losing himself in that one little moment, he relaxed his body once again, allowing the bubbles to wedge themselves back into the nooks and crannies of his already bound body. Before he even realized it, the bubbles had already rendered his claws useless, now growing more steadily as they once again began filling out around his body. In his relaxed state, the collar also began puffing up around his neck, slowly putting more pressure around his throat while the gum atop his head also began to swell. It took only a few seconds before his cocoon now looked like a bouquet of pink balloons, with the gum wrapped over his head and neck resembling an inflatable bike helmet paired with a puffy neck brace.

By the time he did regain his focus, it was far too late for him to do anything, groaning in frustration as the bubble gum squeezed him helpless. With the additional gum now inflating over the top of his head, it felt more like he was being squished inside of an inescapable puffy sleeping bag, as if it was attempting to constrict him to sleep. It didn’t take long for the inflatable segments of gum to puff back up as they did before, making the young wolf wince as he struggled to stay awake. “What is this gum trying to do to me? Why does it keep… squeezing me…?” he thought, unable to keep his eyes open.

1/9/22

Suddenly, one of the bubbles popped against his thigh, sending a tingling ripple to the lower half of his body. “Mmph...” he whimpered, the ripple snapping him back awake before he could lose consciousness. Then another bubble burst against his butt, making him squeal like a puppy as if he had just taken a paddle to the rear. Before he could even recover, another bubble burst against his belly, and then another against his arm, and so on and so forth. Rather than exploding all at once as before, the bubbles were now popping one by one, almost as if in controlled bursts. The young man quickly became disoriented as the popping bubbles overwhelmed his body with a sharp tingling sensation, as if getting slapped all over his body.

Additionally, with each and every pop, the bubbles would slowly reinflate immediately after, steadily preparing to inflict another sharp burst against him. None the wiser, the overwhelmed wolf patiently waited for the poping to end, trying to keep his composure as he took hit after hit of the gums tingling slaps. Only the bubble around his face and the puffy collar wrapped around his neck seemed to maintain their size, ceasing their growth while keeping a firm squeeze around his head and throat. While the pops weren’t ear-deafening like before, he still found them highly discombobulating, hitting him one after the other with no signs of stopping. Then, the bubble against his groin finally burst, causing him to squeal as a shot wide open, before once again going limp all over.

All the while the bubbles continued taunting him with tingling pops, completely helpless to his new bubble cocoon as he saw someone approaching him with his half-open eyes. The figure was tall, slender, and had reflective skin, with a very feminine walk that was nearly hypnotizing to him in his disoriented state. Before long, the figure stood before him, it was Rei-Uno, looking down upon him with an amused smile, crossing her arms as she tilted her head dominantly. “Well, you just couldn’t wait to be a test subject could you?” she giggled sarcastically. “Well… I guess I’ll consider this gum trap a success.”

“Mmmmmph…” he groaned, his voice barely audible under all the puffy gum and popping bubbles. Later on, Andra would find herself running back to the test chamber where the wolf boy was being held. Though her report was unfinished, Rei-Uno had personally called for her, as there was a new development with their furry visitor. It was only through the long hallway that she noticed that the two metal doors were missing, leaving her a bit confused as there was a semi-transparent plastic sheet separating the chamber from the hallway. When she had walked up to the sheet, she saw the door frames had been dismantled, even possibly damaged. Andra pushed her way through the plastic sheet, but to her surprise, it stretched out at her touch like rubber.

Andra pulled her hand back with a baffled meep, only now noticing that it seemed to seal the entrance from top to bottom. It felt a lot like the prototype jelly that Rei-Uno used for her bubbles, thinking at first that it was just a simple plastic seat that was attached from the top of the door frame. After taking a deep breath, she held her tablet against her chest and walked into the jelly feeling the cool slick material stretch and squeeze over her, before slipping past her body and allowing her to walk to the other side. Right as she walked in, she immediately froze with a blank expression on her face. There stood Rei-Uno, closely observing the wolf boy in his bubble as before, but now, he was sealed up in some kind of pink bubblegum-looking cocoon. No longer was the bubble floating, but was sealed around the base of his cocoon which held him up vertically like a sleeping bag on display.

All the while, the bubbles continued popping around him, keeping him in a disoriented and euphoric state, slapping the young man with sharp tingling sensations all over his body. To Andra, it almost looked like he was stuck in shiny gummy corn on a cob. The wolf’s eyes and nose were still the only visible parts of his body, wrapped up in the smothering collar and highly restrictive bulbs surrounding his head. Though barely able to think, he had just enough awareness to feel a burning sense of embarrassment as he blushed underneath all of the inflatable gum. Andrea had seen many weird experiments and test subjects since you started working there, but this was probably the second weirdest thing she had ever seen. It was then that Rei-Uno turned around with a pleased smile on her face.
