A woman is granted her wish to be a cartoon character, but not how she intended. |
Gabby is a girl who goes through a process that turns her into a real life cartoon mouse version of herself (think like Gadget from Rescue Rangers), but only 6 inches tall. Her life is now governed by cartoon laws. Her body is very malleable when subjected to a force, and her body will regain its normal shape at the first opportunity. She doesn't feel a lot of pain, but will always react like she did. For example if she get caught in a mouse trap she will feel the snap and scream, but will only feel as if she's being pinched. The part squished by the mousetrap would unflatten within a few seconds unless someone thinks it is entertaining (see below). This also means cartoon tropes affect her behavior, so if she runs off an edge without realizing it, she'll continue in a straight line until she does. If she sees what looks like a tunnel painted on a wall, she'll be compelled to run through it as soon as she has a reason to, even though she knows logically that its fake. If someone acts friendly enough to her, she'll eventually be compelled to trust them, or at least give them a chance. This extends to her "keeping things entertaining". Unfortunately for her, what is entertaining is decided by the tastes of anyone nearby. If someone thinks having a cartoon mouse pancaked under her foot would be funny, the universe will find a way to get her under the person's foot no matter how hard she tries to avoid it. Thankfully this will also make the universe contrive ways for her to escape after the "joke" goes on long enough, such as a strong gusto of wind the next time she isn't being crushed. Even worse, almost everyone else in unknowingly cast in the role of her antagonist. They just can't resist the urge to catch and torment her. Even worse, that's the ONLY part that affects them. They aren't forced to pick up the idiot ball and do things that self sabotage themselves. If they're creative enough, they can force a "joke" to be dragged on indefinitely. They will have to deal with reality trying to free the toon girl, but it's possible. Despite always managing to get away so far, the toon girl instinctually knows it is possible for her "show" to end if someone is creative enough. Since it wouldn't be "funny" for her to quietly accept the end, she knows she wouldn't be able to tell if it's is finally the end. She would just be stuck with the thought that it MIGHT be possible to escape, never knowing that its not. This has made her naturally terrified of being captured, and she will always try to avoid it and escape no matter how non-threatening her predicament is. After all, even if her current predicament isn't too bad, there's no guarantee the NEXT thing the person does won't be the end of the show. Only a few rules. - Only female characters, no male interaction. - Animals have enough sense of self that she can't possess them. A creative girl may realize that her body is her property and make her into a body part, but in general she possesses objects. - No pee, scat, or gore. This is purely personal preference, sorry. Farting is okay. |
