in a dusty room filled with puppet parts and carving tools, a life sized puppet sits slumped in a chair

it can only twitch its fingers

{...why do I have fingers? puppets don't have fingers,...am i a mannequin; why, would someone make a puppet with fingers?}

----------------------------------------

two people, one man, and one woman enter the house, both look rich, but scowl at the room.

"lets get the old man's artworks and get out of this drab place kristoph"

"indeed jaqolynn, the codger must have lest somthing behind for us post death"

[writer's note: bleq, pretentious names]

they search the whole manor after splitting up, they were raiding their own father's house

Jacquelynn enter's the room the puppet was in,l and finds it sitting

"oh-ho, what's this?...his prised work; this should fetch some pg"

she picks it up.

{wha- whough! who are you?}

"his last work, what a joke, it's just his old puppet from when he was a proformer in the theater, shined and given new parts, bus somone'll buy it"

{I AM NOT JUST A THING! "i think therfore i am." I'm not gonna be sold!}

[conversion initiated]

{wha?}

"......ghk"

she falls, her legs bending unnaturally, one forwards, one to the back and side

"KYAA,..what-what is happening?!"

{I-DON-KNO!}

she falls, her body going limp slowly spreading from her legs, her joints bending like all were ball joints, because they were becoming ball joints., until she stopped moving altogether

[conversion 40% bones converted to puppet]

{ohshit,ohshit,ohshit! what did I DO?!}

[initiating connection.....done]

it gets up

".....wh{at}...oh{shit}....how?"{WHAT THE SHIT WAS ALL THAT?! I turned someone into a puppet}...

it raises its hand to its head and the woman gets up

"[in her voice]IM SORRY...what?....wait.....i know why your here...who is with you,..and.......you are NOT a good person!"

she mouths the words spoken

.....{let's try something}[ out of her mouth] "i am a spoiled thot who used others for my betterment, i am sorry i was so rude. let me dance for you."

she dances a waltz

{that felt weirdly cathartic...}

{wait..what's a thot?}
