Contains girl to toy tf
"I WON! I WON I WON!" came the excited cries of Roxanne's younger sister as she ran inside from getting the mail for the day. Her already messy brown hair was tussled further in her rush to get the letter she'd been seeking for the past week and a half.
Roxanne set her coffee mug down, "That contest you entered?" she guessed
"Yes! I won the contest for a new toy design from WizRe Toys! They're inviting me and two friends out to the main offices to see the facilities and see them make the prototype!" Danielle was practically dancing as she spoke, waving the paper with the WizRe letterhead about like a perfect lottery ticket.
"I'm proud of you sweetheart," Roxanne smiled, bringing her sister in for a hug, "Be sure to research where you're going, pack accordingly, and call me as soon as you get there, y'hear me?" she asserted.
"I will I will," Dani assured, before pulling away and running upstairs, "I've gotta tell Nova and Chloe!"
"Heeeeeey!" Danielle waved with both arms at the airport upon seeing her two best friends arrive. Nova raptured the attention of most passerby with her unapologetic display of her body. Extremely short cutoffs paired with her tang top and cropped long sleeve jacket showed off the majority of her legs, torso, and chest, all of which were as well tended and smoothly pristine as her perfectly makeup-accented face. Her hair was styled with more volume than before, giving it a playful bounciness as her heels clicked across the floor towards Danielle. Alongside her, perfectly content without being the attention magnet, strode Chloe. She wore her long blonde hair down today, opting for a casual, comfortable blouse and knee-length skirt with booties she was certain to be comfortable in after walking in them all day. The pair waved back to the eager Dani as they approached.
"Looking good, babe," Nova said, giving Danielle a kiss on each cheek in greeting, "Ready to see your design come to life?"
"Of course I am! Thank you guys for coming with me," she replied, practically bouncing with excitement.
"We wouldn't want to miss this for anything," the soft-spoken Chloe assured, happy to see her best friend so happy.
The trio boarded the plane, and chattered most of the flight about how exciting this was, what the facility would be like, and what they'd do for the three days the trip was planned to last, aside from the main event. The flight was a short few hours and the driver was ready to take them to their hotel to drop off their luggage, and take them immediately to the facility. It was a bit of a surprise to be hurried along so quickly, but they chalked it up to corporate schedules and such, and Danielle was excited enough to see her design be made into a real toy to push her friends to pick up the pace herself. The brunette could not sit still a single bit the whole ride there, much to the amusement of her friends.
Finally, the imposing offices of the giant toy company loomed into view. Like any good corporate nest, it looked made mostly of windows and attempted to breach the heavens to tie up the gods themselves in their bureaucratic red tape and double speak. The driver let them off at the front doors and a business woman greeted them in the high ceiling lobby. She was a mature woman in a dark colored suit and had short brown hair. Even without her authoritative voice the trio could tell she was the one in charge here.
"Welcome, esteemed contest winner, and guests," she added, giving a smile to Danielle's friends. Her tone and expression were amicable, though she was taking a moment to look each of them up and down, as if sizing each one up in turn. Before things could get awkward, she turned on her heel and led them on through the office. "We here at WizRe Toys are very excited to work alongside a young talent to bring a whole new design to life in every toy aisle across the world. We take the utmost pride in our quality assurance processes..." The businesswoman spoke on and on about the company and their vastly superior tech they employed to create their widely loved toys and toy accessories. The three girls were hardly paying too close attention to the details of the woman's no doubt rehearsed company sales pitch, too awestruck by the immense and high tech offices lavished with every conceivable amenity for the company's employees and guests.
Eventually, they came to a hall before a giant set of double doors, "Unfortunately, only the designer can join me inside to see the mock up and sign the last of the paperwork - legal stuff and NDA's and the like. Worry not, we'll have someone tend to your needs and take you on to wait for the prototype demonstration once we're done here!" The woman took Danielle's hand and assertively led her into the room, shutting the heavy wooden doors behind them.
Another woman, dressed in business casual attire arrived, holding her arm down an offshoot hall. "Right this way ladies!" she directed. She led them past some cubicles towards an observation room.
Nova took a seat to relax and wait, but Chloe piped up, "Excuse me, miss, is there a ladies' room I could use?" she asked politely.
The woman nodded and beckoned yet another employee over, "Please take Miss Chloe to the facilities," she instructed, "Make sure she's well taken care of..."
The employee led Chloe to a bathroom down a few other halls, "Wow this place is like a big maze, huh?" Chloe joked lightheartedly, receiving no reply from her guide. It was awkward, but it didn't deter the perky Chloe. She entered the washroom and did her business, spending some time before the mirror to wash up and to adjust her hair and clothing to her liking.
Then she was falling.
Danielle was led into a giant office room, expecting to be sat in front of a bunch of documents with a series of 'sign here's and 'initial here's for corporate stuff and copyright mumbo jumbo, but she was taken right past the desk and into a room attached in the back. This room was something out of a sci-fi cartoon, chromes and laboratory whites in a spotless tile floored room. Machines lined the walls alongside tables and drawers adorned with tools and papers. In the center of the back wall of this room was a tall glass chamber and/or pod. It looked like what she imagined a cryogenic space pod would look like, but a bit roomier.
"So uh... where do I sign...?" Danielle asked, growing a bit nervous at all the scientific and medical tools and gadgets about. The fear was rather justified, as a solid shove in her back sent her tumbling into the pod, which quickly sealed shut behind her. She quickly turned to bang on the glass, "Hey! What the hell!?" Dani could see the businesswoman fiddling with screens and dials with a focused, mechanical fluency - as though this were just another mundane part of her daily duties. Danielle grit her teeth and clenched her fists. Whatever trick this woman was playing, she picked the wrong witch to mess with! She began to weave a spell to make this woman into a pathetic slug to squash under her boot... but the magic did not penetrate the prison she was sealed within. Before she could ready another attempt, nozzles all around her slid free of paneling and sprayed her with some kind of sticky liquid in a full 360 degree coating. Dani coughed, spitting as the foul tasting substance got into her mouth. It was pale cream color and clung to her body like paint. Attempting to wipe it off did nothing, and as it dried she could feel her movements growing stiffer. With what strength she had left, she attempted to bang on the door once more, but the resulting sound sent a shiver down her spine. Her fingers could no longer clench into a fist, locking themselves in a neutral, partly closed state, but nonetheless she attempted to knock on her arm to confirm what she'd heard. Sure enough, the distinctive sound of plastic hitting plastic hit her ears. Panic set in now, as the substance she was sprayed with began to rapidly seep into every pore of her skin, and the stiffening sensation grew more and more pronounced. A large panel in the back of the chamber opened with a hissing sound, as a large mechanical arm pressed something into her back. The pressure wasn't painful, but it did force her prone against the front of the chamber as it forced whatever it was further and further, until there was an audible click. In that moment, she felt something in her insides change, and she slumped forward, unable to move at all any more. Danielle helplessly felt as her body completely refused any of her commands, until the stiffness reached her face, and her mouth pressed itself into a forced grin, and her eyes lost their ability to blink. Slumped forward as she was, she could only see the woman's feet as the chamber door slid open.
"You turned out absolutely perfect! Now... Let's get you dressed for your demonstration." She sounded downright sinister to the petrified Danielle. She heard the woman step behind her, and grip the thing in her back. Just a touch to whatever was attached to her sent a jolt through her - a building anticipation in her chest. Then the woman began to rotate it. Each click of the object as it rotated straightened Danielle's posture until it locked with a solid sound of the gears her insides had become being fully wound up. When she let go, her whole body grew warm with electric motion. Her movements were stiff and not her own, her body jittering as she stepped, swung her arms locked at their elbows, stepped, moved her arms, stepped... This motion was all her body could do, and for all of it Danielle was stuck as a passive observer, trapped in her own body. Eventually she hit the wall of the room, but kept trying to march along, falling over with a plastic clattering. Even on the ground she uselessly moved her arms and legs as her wind-up key slowly clicked to a stop, and her body locked up again. The woman let out a haughty laugh as she approached the doll she'd turned Danielle into. She stooped and hoisted Dani under her arm with ease. Despite being life sized, her body was little more than plastic with a few mechanical parts to facilitate her limited movement. She was carried off to parts unknown into the offices.
Meanwhile, Chloe was falling down a trap door chute to her own unknown fate...
