Clicking several options Alice finally settled on a Wind-Up Soldier girl that was about ten inches tall, animate, and mentaly human. She wasn’t sure what all the options did but she figured she could restart the game if this character didn’t work. Looking the file over one last time she nodded to herself and clicked the Save button.
Instantly there was a strange tingling through her entire body. She gasped feeling something begin to affect her as the strange little enjoyer atop the box began to glow. She found herself forced to stand up, only to realize her desk was far taller than it should be. No, it wasn’t taller, she was smaller! And shrinking by the second!
In a few seconds she had gone from five feet four inches down to under a foot tall! She tried reach up and unplug the strange box atop the computer desk but it was far out of reach now, And besides, her arms were locked at her sides and unable to move.
Looking down at herself she gasped as her miniaturized form began to shift and change. Her clothing disappearing from her body, only to watch her skin turn shiny and start changing shape. Her shoulder and elbows swelled out into perfect spheres, a shiny silver pin showing in the middle of them, as if connecting the two halves of the spheres together. Her arms felt strange as they changed and lost definition, becoming more like cylinders. Her chest swelled out a bit as if holding a breath, making her chest high and tight as it froze that way. She saw her breasts loose definition, becoming simply two solid orbs on her chest like you would expect to see on a Barbie doll, she gasped feeling the strange sensations and thinking it couldn’t get any stranger, but then she noticed her skin was turning shiny and… red?
Her entire torso was turning a bright shiny red, as if painted. No, exactly like it was painted. Painted to look like a toy soldier’s uniform. Red with white straps crossing her chest in a X. Her transformed shoulders and elbows turning blue in contrast. Her hands turning white as if covered by gloves even as they locked out stiffly as if ready to deliver a karate chop.
She felt her legs transforming as well, her hips and knees turning into simple hinges just as her arms had. Her legs becoming a bit more simplified as they turned white and plastic. Her feet changed the most, re-molding themselves into black high heeled boots. Boots that were attached to her, never to come off.
Lastly her head began to change. Not as drastically as her body, but she felt her lips being pulled into a smile that was in stark contrast to how panicked she felt inside, before her face turned to plastic, becoming shiny and frozen. Her hair pulled itself into a tight bun on the back of her head, and strangest of all, she felt a weight on her head as a tall soldiers cap appeared atop her head, sealing into her now solid plastic hair.
Last of all was the key that appeared on her back. She suddenly felt it pushing into the plastic of her back, only as a pressure, her plastic skin unable to feel pain or pleasure any more. With a shudder it connected into something inside her and Alice felt her body slump forward at the hips, leaving her staring helplessly at the ground for a long moment.
Then, there was a click, and she felt movement return to her body. She straightened herself up and looked down at her body, every action she took wasperforned in a jerky half-step, with a soft ‘click’ or ‘clack’ accompanied by the turning key in her back connected to the gears inside her. She shuddered realizing that she was now a toy. A plastic windup toy soldier, a hollow shell of plastic filled by gears and rods. Somehow, thankfully, she could still move, stuff as she may be.
Looking up age realizes now that the computer and the strange device were now far out of reach, even if she had been human at this size. Adding the fact her body was now a stiff and jerky wind-up toy, getting up there normally was going to be impossible. If she wanted to get up there she would have to get creative. But what did she want to do now?
