Openly Sourced: An Open Source Objects TF Saga

Deck the Halls

Howard could feel a tingling sensation within his legs, as he could feel black blotches appearing on his legs, rapidly spreading down, as he heard cracking and popping again. The hairs on his limbs were molting away as well, sprinkling and scattering all over the floor. His legs were getting thinner and thinner, as he could hear his feet cracking and popping. His toes were painfully merging together as he fell on his ass, given that it was hard to balance on his little objectified legs. His feet bloated into semispheres, as they bursted right out of his green sneakers, before they shrunk down in size. Howard pulled up a pant leg and felt at his objectified leg, his limbs were now inhumanly smooth and he hated it.

He then felt blood dripping from his mouth as he could feel his body beginning to crack and pop, as he could feel a sharp jolt within his nether regions. "No! Not there too!" His manly equipment was shriveling up into nothingness as something inside of his nerves were beginning to make him feel more... feminine for some reason. He was now technically genderless, although he is now a SHE.

Phoenix came into the room, "I just broke up a fight with Chase and Isaac- what on earth is happening to you?!"
"Phoenix, can you not interrupt me when my body is doing whatever it is doing?!" Howard scowled, her skin beginning to turn a vibrant shade of red, blood rising to the skin level as her spinal cord was breaking down, disk-by-disk, causing her body to shrink down in size, her voice also sounded a little high pitched as well. It was as if her voice was slowly raising in pitch.
"Oh, God, you look horrible! The transformation is getting to you!" Phoenix cried out as he looked right at Howard's hazel eyes, "Don't tell me that you did something to trigger a transformation!"
"I... just ripped a mistletoe out of the damn ceiling!" Howard cried out.
"And who would have done that?!" Phoenix asked, "I am pretty sure that none of our roommates had put it there!"
"It has to be Craig, how else would there be a mistletoe there?!" Howard asked, her voice now higher pitched and starting to sound more feminine as well, "Why do I sound like a girl?!"
"I don't know! I only know that Craig might have transformed you!" Phoenix cried out, "And who knows if he really did it?!"

Howard then winced as her nose and ears melted back into her face, as she caught a glimpse of something, her black hair was beginning to turn green and it started to feel more like leaves, but not just any leaves, holly leaves. She could feel her bones cracking and popping, shattering and churning with her smooshed up organs, as her neck cracked and popped, shrinking down. This continued until, with a loud SNAP, Howard no longer had a neck, which means it is now time to introduce her to the CEPHALOTHORAX!

She could feel her body cracking and popping, her head and torso merging together, as she could feel her body becoming rounder and rounder, becoming more like a berry from those damned mistletoes. She screamed as she could feel her black hair rising as it became more and more like the spiky leaves of a holly as well, growing out in the process. The whole process from man to object was scary to her as she looked at Phoenix with her slowly darkening eyes.

"No! Phoenix, I don't want to be an object, there has to be something to reverse this kind of shit!" Howard cried out as she could feel her eyes stinging, tears rolling down his cheeks, as they were being reduced to beady black ovals. Her mouth wasn't spared either as she could feel her teeth flattening, turning into pure white singular rows of teeth. Her tongue brightened to a brighter pink color as the rest of the insides of her mouth turned black. With a few more adjustments, Howard's transformation into a sentient holly berry was completed.

"What the hell am I?!" Howard asked, "Oh, God, why am I something from the very thing I hate the most?!"
"Howard, please, I have to figure out a way to reverse this, I have to make sure that everything is alright, and what is happening to our surroundings?!" Phoenix asked, noticing on how Howard's blanket saying I Hate Christmas and his doggy plush was altering as well. His blanket turned from black to red, as the text and other details turned from white and red to white and dark green. His doggy plush turned into a plushy of the iconic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Christmas decorations were appearing everywhere in the room. It was as if the transformation didn't give just Howard a Christmas miracle, but decked the halls with the whole room.

"I... don't remember decorating my room like that... or getting that plushie... or... MY BLANKET! I thought it said something else!" Howard cried out as she could feel a headache from Winter Horrorland beginning to emerge, as her brain began to alter.

Howary could feel her old, human memories slipping away from her grasp, as it was getting harder and harder to recognize Phoenix by the second. High-school? Throw that out of the window. College? Nope, not happening. Phoenix? Who the hell was that?! Hating on Christmas?! How could she?!

Tears were rolling down Howaly's cheeks as she could feel the love for Christmas pulling her further and further in. She was slowly starting to love everything about Christmas. She loved the decorations, the feasts, the music, she could go on all day about it. It wasn't just the love for Christmas that was overwhelming her old, grumpy, mean personality...

...Howlly could feel a new personality washing over her, she could feel the love for music overwhelming her as well, as she became more of a jolly and kind person as well. She could also feel it coming back to her as well, as she could remember competing on Open Source Objects, along with 31 others (33 if you counted Dango as three people instead of one person). All those contests and all those interactions with the other contestants, she also remembered playing her Christmas vinyl on Phonograph for example.

As the last memories faded away from her mind, she took notice of the vinyls that suddenly appeared inside of her bag, as it was now safe to say that Howard Lee is now dead to the world.

"I don't remember placing my vinyls in the bag, I am going to keep them somewhere safe." Holly then placed her vinyls right inside of the drawer, before looking at the human being, "And who are you?"
"Please, Howard, I know that you're still in there somewhere, but you have to break out!" Phoenix replied, still thinking that Howard is in there.
"It's Holly." Holly replied, "And who are you?!"
"I'm Phoenix." He replied before unpacking his shit and leaving to go the the banquet hall.

-------------------------------
Speaking of Which...

Craig was in the kitchen nearby the banquet hall, typing down on WordPad as he knew that he had one victim down and 33 more to go. His children are welcoming the guests in the dining hall, as he read what he wrote down.

Howard Lee,

He was a guy who hated Christmas and hated all that came with it. Especially the music.

I have to make sure that he noticed the mistletoe, and don't worry, as soon as he rips the bitch off, he will experience a very positive, yet painful, change.

And as soon as he does change, he will become Holly.

Craig was proud of what he wrote on there, as he knew that he added the transformative stuff onto the mistletoe, and if he transformed Howard into Holly, then the other 33 should be a piece of cake.

He then began typing his plot for the next person he's going to target. He sees this person as a threat thank to the familiar ties with one of the Pillars... it was none other than...

Phoenix Winters.

A/N: Hello guys, so the first TF-based chapter for Openly Sourced has officially came out.

Although I already planned this story in advance, I would like to hear from you, yes you, what ideas or suggestions you may have for this story, and I will see if I will add to the document I have created later on.

Thank you.
