Openly Sourced: An Open Source Objects TF Saga

Senseless Sacrifice

-------------------------------
At the Other Side of the Dome...

Both Odessa and Paisley were walking around the dome, the latter looking around for anything that would pose as a threat. There was a field of flowers that Odessa was disgusted by, something that she didn't want to go into in, like, a million years.

"So, what do you think Craig is planning to do next? Target the couple? Betray those mean girls?! Even get rid of Lydia?!" Odessa asked.
"Well, I don't think that's the case, you're overlooking ourselves as well, and I don't think I want to lose you anyways." Paisley nodded their head in agreement.
"Thank you, me neither, I wouldn't know what to do without you by my side, but let's assure that nothing goes wrong with our little expedition around the dome." Odessa replied, smiling at Paisley.

However, Odessa would be dead wrong, because in the middle of their walk around the dome, there was Blaine, his short, dark blue, almost black, hair flowing through the wind and his glasses making both Paisley's and Odessa's reflection visible due to the bright light.

"It's atypical of you of getting outside and enjoying the view, isn't it, Odessa?" Blaine snickered as Odessa's jaw went agape, as she began to sweat bullets.
"How did you know of our whereabouts?!" Odessa asked, "And what are you doing with that bar in your hand?!"
"I know that you'd be silly, but Craig had told me of your... inferior intellect!" Blaine snickered as he revealed the grain bar, a wide grin plastered onto his face.
"Do you think that I am stupid enough to eat anything that anyone would give me?! I'm not that stupid, you're just way smarter than me! That's why you and your dad had called me stupid, didn't you?!" Odessa scoffed.
"It's a shame that I have to do this, but you're making a HUGE mistake right now, miss!" Blaine scoffed as he tried to coax Odessa into trying the fruit and grain bar.
"Odessa, do not fall for his tricks, he will turn you into an object, and if he's not letting any of us go, I'd rather it be me that transforms instead of you!" Paisley had this gut feeling that the only way to prolong Odessa's time as a human being is if Paisley sacrificed themself, "Blaine, give me the bar instead!"
"I made it specifically for Odessa and-" Blaine shouted, but got interrupted by Paisley clearing their throat.
"No! I can tell that anyone can taste it, but I'm not going to let you turn my only friend that I have left into an object!" Paisley shouted before turning their head over towards Odessa, "Go, now! I will keep him at bay."
Odessa then ran away from the situation as fast as possible as she didn't want to be transformed into an object. Of course, Odessa will still have Val, Indigo, and Lydia if Paisley sacrificed themself, but had Craig gotten his way, Paisley would've been all alone, and Paisley would rather die or transform than to be alone for the rest of their life.

Paisley snatched the bar, opened it and ate it before glaring right at Blaine, "If you tried to poison my friend again, I will stop you!"
"Don't you realize what you have done, Paisley, now the results are not going to be intended!" Blaine scoffed as he was pacing around the floor, thinking to himself on what would Craig think if things didn't go according to plan. Of course, there was always plan B, but Blaine wanted things to go right the first time, and now he felt like shit for some kind of reason.

Paisley then felt sick to their stomach as they could feel something rushing up their throat, and a sudden numbness inside their arms. As soon as they vomited, both blood and a hot pink/coral colored substance sprayed into it, as their legs started to tremble. Their arms grew number and number as they could feel their arms beginning to crack and pop, pulling away from the shoulders as they could feel blood and, what they could assume, paint, beginning to gush out of the cracks. Without any warning, Paisley could feel their arms falling to the turf, staining with a combination of blood and paint.

"What was in the damn bar?! Object DNA?!" Paisley asked.
"My point exactly, and it doesn't turn you into any object, it turns you into an object that is linked with your DNA! That's why Odessa needed to eat the bar, so she could turn into a sentient version of it!" Blaine scoffed, "Look how you screwed things up, Paintball!"
"My name is not Paintball!" Paisley shouted as they could feel their legs cracking and popping, getting wobblier as black blotches rapidly spread all over them and the legs getting thinner and thinner. It was harder to maintain balance with thin legs, especially the body still having a humanoid shape. Paisley also felt their feet cracking and popping, as their legs grew shorter to accommodate for their future size. Their feet bloated into semispheres, gaining more dexterity as their toes merged together. Their hot pink and coral sneakers tore off their objectified feet, as they could feel a sharp jolt within their nether regions. As that part nullified itself, they could feel themself becoming technically genderless. However, something began to click inside their head as they could feel a strange sense of femininity flowing through within them, making they now a SHE.

"No! No! No! I... can't be... a... girl! Why does it sound so high." With each word, Paisley's voice also had raised in pitch, until it was high-pitched, normal for a young female, as her body was slowly shrinking down in size, causing her clothes to get looser and looser in the process. The black hoodie, pink tank top and blue jeans slid off her slowly simplifying body as her skin turned hot pink and coral, becoming paint as her innards were doing the same, getting crushed and melting to become paint as well, as she coughed up both blood and paint on the floor.

Her skeletal structure was breaking down at a rapid pace as Paisley felt her neck cracking and popping, shrinking down, until with a violent SNAP, her neck had disappeared, which had forced her head to be lodged onto her torso. Paisley screamed in pain as tears were streaming down her painty cheeks. Paisley then could feel it happening, it was now time for the CEPHALOTHORAX!

Paisley could feel her head and torso merging together, as she could feel her body shrinking more and more, becoming rounder and rounder as her pink hair fell out in clumps. She also winced as her nose and ears melted back into her face, as Paisley could feel her eyes stinging, slowly turning from an emerald green color to a pitch black color, morphing into nothing more than beady black ovals. Paisley's mouth wasn't spared either as she could feel her jaw aching, blood and paint bleeding from her gums as her teeth flattened and was rid of any imperfections, becoming two pure white, rectangular rows of teeth. Her tongue brightened to a brighter pink color, as the rest of her mouth turned black, her lips being reduced into a simple black line. With a few more coughs and adjustments, Paisley's transformation into a sentient paintball was now complete.

"What happened?! What have you done to me?!" Paisley asked as she trembled in fear, looking up the very man who towered over her small self.
"Well, you're now an object, Paintball, and now there is only one thing left we must take care of before I'm done with you!" Blaine snickered as he looked at the tiny paintball creature in pure delight, "Your memories!"
"Wait, no!" Paisley cried out as she could feel a headache from Hell itself emerging from nowhere, her head pounding like crazy and instead of her clutching her head in agony, Paisley squeezed her eyes shut with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Painley could feel her old, human memories slowly fading away. Odessa? Takashima? Cornelius?! Who were those people?! Putting her own life on the line to save others'? What confidence does she have to do that? Not that much! She was too shy to do bold things like that.

As old and new lives were being forcibly blurred, the new memories obviously winning, Paintey started to feel more comfortable with her significantly smaller size, as if she was always this way, and phantom limb syndrome was also fading away as well.

Paintby could also feel it coming back to her... she could feel herself remembering competing on Open Source Objects, along with 33 others, as she remembered all these contests, and relying on others for their help due to her size and how she's always treated as a child, never being taken seriously.

Paintbal tried to hang onto her old identity once more, but it was no use because all of it was gone...

...and just like that, Paisley Bay was now dead to the world, replaced by Paintball, who was noticeably happier now, before looking up at the human being.

"Um... who are you?!" Paintball was trembling in fear because of how much Blaine towered over her.
"Welcome, Paintball." Blaine snickered before walking away, "Well played, Paisley, you have managed to let Odessa escape, but your sacrifice will be in vain once Plan B gets to Odessa!"

Suddenly, he walked up towards Craig's house, knowing that he is going to enjoy starting Plan B to transform Odessa...

...And this time, Odessa will have nobody to stop her transformation from happening. She's only delaying the inevitable.
