Shape shifting

Gosh, I need a break. Just one more day and then I’m off, or should I say: "we are off", as most dolls in our family are going to have summer holiday, once again to somewhere in France. Mom and I pleaded to go to Denmark. Mom wanted to go there because of happy memories she still has of the time when she was a giant size kid styled doll.... Huh??? Mom, our elderly adult styled female doll, has been a kid styled doll? Aren’t these completely different types of dolls? Different volume? Different weight? Different shapes, so different body moulds, different functionalities and different character description?!!!....   Ok, this needs a bit of explaining and I will do my best to keep it as simple as possible. But I won’t blame you if you think the following must be complete poppycock and you may even be right to think so, because even to me a lot is still unclear, so I will have to fill in some... well is it more like several... blanks. This is what I can make of it for now:

... Gloomy and damp the night drenches towards its middle. Darkness crawls through the alley. Still out of sight, clouded, but present like an inescapable doom, the full moon is rising. Darkness needs to act quick now. Soon the hunt will be on.

In the far end of the alley rotting garbage is piling up against a truck. Its penetrating stench waves like sticky mist, as Darkness cautiously moves towards a lost street light.  Not a doll in sight. This is the hour of monsters moving under beds, the hour in which creeps scratch their sharp long nails along the inside of bedroom closet doors.... In the pale light of the lonely lantern Darkness arises and starts to take off her smudged bra and her string. She won’t be needing them anymore for at least a couple of days. Her majesty boobs gently jiggle as she unties the knot in her long black hair and waves it free. Such a pity that these assets are not maintainable in her next shape, she mumbles. This body style has so much more advantages than the next one, but  she knows that in order to survive she now needs to change her appearance, for it won’t be long before they will find her if she keeps this body shape.

Darkness closes her eyes and starts to focus on the inside of her body. Most dolls can modify themselves simply by exchanging limbs, torso parts, wigs, or even heads But Darkness is a meat based doll by origin and therefore her shape shifting needs to be done from within.

Suddenly the moon appears… The orchestra on the inside of her body awaits the sign of the conductor. It is time. Darkness looks to the moon and then she opens her mouth. From deep within the obligatory long howl finds its way out and for a brief moment it looks like time is standing still when a shiver of horror burst into the air.

As Darkness' subconscious mind starts to give orders for the reshaping to the inside of her still gorgeous looking female body, she wonders why  it is that for other embees it takes years to make this kind of changes. Indeed the quick modification of a body of an embee is somewhat limited when you want it to expand, or to age. So for a quick drastic change in appearance this type of modification is not preferable. But for creating a new identity it is not a  necessity to become bigger, or to look older. In fact the opposite, she mumbles, as she starts to shorten her skeleton parts, meanwhile removing big lumps of meat and bone material from the inside of her body. Nobody will look for a toddler doll, she chuckles. She will be safe at least till the next full moon…

Ok, sorry, I got a bit carried away. The doll in the paragraph above is not Mom, but...well,... she could have been. This because Mom is not a ScoonimDoll. Like Koen, Mom is an MB doll (meat based doll, aka embee) and both of them claim that all* embees are capable of altering their physical appearance an not just clothes, not just make-up, wigs, eyes, or the exchange of click-on body parts. No, they claim to be capable of changing their bodies by very slowly adding (or removing) mass to their body and skeleton construction from within. Yes sir, we are talking about the kind of body altering you watch in horror movies. We are talking about shape shifting. The only difference is, they say, that the process in real takes a bit more time, but basically it is the same.

Even though the benefit of this modification system is completely obscure to me, as I see mostly disadvantages to it, it seems to be possible for embees to slowly change even from a baby shaped doll into a giant size human styled doll. In weight twenty times or more. The system is commonly known as growing. I have deduced that must be somewhat similar to the expansion in volume of the stalactites that you can sometimes find in mountain caves, as the process of  their body transformation is said to take place at an extremely low speed. And like the growing of stalactites, the increase of body mass is done by gradually adding substance (hence the habit of embees to consume food).

Some doubts and several questions however remain. For instance: I have been told that, in order to notice a slight modification in the body of an embee, I need to not-see that embee for at least 2 months. 2 months!!! But then how can I possibly be certain that no other body altering techniques have been used in that time to sort out a similar effect?  I know for a fact that for Ball Joint dolls this can be accomplished even within 2 hours, even including a substantial addition or diminishment of bodyweight. But if my BJD friend and I would meet again after two months and she would decide to lie and tell that her body modification slowly happened by itself, then I can frown and make a  'Hmm-sound', for it is pretty useless to contradict her, as embees claim the same. For if they can grow then, why not my BJD friend ?! And what is so special about this so called growing or aging that some embees do? And is it not a scam? Or a whim? And why does it need to be done in a specific order? And how can you make meat out of parsley? And are really *all embees shape shifters? And where do werewolves fit in? Questions, questions... This subject needs more study. You can be sure that in my next book I will go to the bottom of this.

 

Say, talking about books.... I do hope that by now you have bought yourself a copy of my fantastic book “Rosaleintje”.... If not, then please do visit my website and put that little bit of money on the desk to get yourself a copy. It really is worth every penny, I assure you.

Here is the link to my website where you can get my book: http://stellai-shop.com

As for now, holiday is on my doorstep and she is most welcome. I bid you all a fond farewell and hope to see you all in September at the meet.

All of the photos above were made during another holiday in France.  Indeed France again and more images of holiday in France to come, as our plea for Denmark did not make it. Sighh.
