“Alright, I’m claiming this door. Turn me inanimate, please,” says Serena while stretching her arms. Much like those that came before her, she has been anticipating her own turn. She was even making theories of what she could possibly become. Now, those theories will be brought to the test.

Into the chimney Santa goes carrying gifts in his large sack

He needs a sock to leave them in or else he’ll take them back

Serena chuckles as the transformation takes hold. “I see,” she says. It is no surprise that she has already figured out what her transformation is going to look like. I, too, am eagerly waiting for the signs that start to become apparent soon enough.

    Much like Teysa, who had become my dress, her body is turning a shade of red while her head is turning paler. And of course, like many before her, she is starting to shrink down.

    “Don’t suppose I’m gonna be worn, am I?” Serena asks while the transformation progresses at a steady pace, converting her skin into fabric slowly.

    I shake my head. “I understand that you’d want to be. Humans turned clothing are usually happiest when worn because they are fulfilling their new purpose. However, as Christmas stockings, you will be fulfilling your own purpose over the fireplace with Iridius, waiting for the arrival of Santa.”

    Serena chuckles while there is a noticeable split happening down her body, starting at the tip of her head. Her head is now pristine white while the rest of her body is completely red. Some of her human features are beginning to vanish like her arms while her legs are widening. “I can do that,” she says.

    She’d better, of course, for she will have no choice in the matter soon enough. The split down the middle of her body is proceeding rather quickly as she is becoming not just one stocking but a pair of them. She is shrinking down more and more as her former clothes are quickly becoming too big for her. Her arms and hands are completely gone while her legs have become nothing more than simply the bottom half of a sock.

    When the splitting of her body is finished, the others here are of course quite curious about this and are quick to ask questions. “Can you still feel both halves?” asks Iris.

    With her diminished mobility, Serena manages to nod on both stockings.

    Megan seems quite excited actually. “You’re gonna like this! I know you will,” she says. Of course, she has some experience as a pair of shoes under her belt.

    “I’m sure… I will…” Serena says. It almost sounds like an echo as one stocking speaks slightly before the other. It is also a little harder to understand her, considering both stockings only really have half a mouth. Or rather, they had one as her facial features are quickly disappearing completely from the top of the stockings.

    And just like that, the transformation concludes with Serena now nothing but a lovely pair of red stockings. Chloe decides to fish both of her halves out of the pile of clothes left behind by the transformed girl and holds them up. They are honestly decently big. Of course, they are going to have to be if Santa is to leave presents in them.

    “Let’s hang her up over the fireplace, shall we?” I propose while I point at some nails that are already in place on the mantel, just under the wreath that was Iridius once.

    Chloe nods as she ties both stockings there. She can’t seem to help herself and softly strokes both socks tenderly. “Serena became really quite soft…” she says.

    “Christmas clothing tends to be quite soft, and very comfortable to wear,” I respond. I can’t help but stroke over my lovely dress again.
