Let us imagine...

Hi all!
So, I was having a conversation with my good friend Sammy a while back and it got me thinking. We all want to TF at some point and while we all sit around waiting for the technology to do it to come out, there’s also always the chance that just one day, totally at random, we’ll wake up one morning with a few extra (or less maybe) appendages.
So, here’s a scenario for you:
You wake up one morning and find yourself suddenly a furry. Your exact form is up to you; it can be any gender or species you want, but you can only be around normal human size. So you can be a little bigger/smaller depending on the animal, but no giants or anything too large. ;). You also need to be something mobile; so while you could technically turn into a plushie or an inflatable, you have to at least be able to move, but not necessarily speak. Also, you’re the only person that this has happened to, just you and you alone. And, to make it a little more interesting, you have no special powers, so no making extra furries, or doing anything magical. :meow:
So, what do you think would happen? What would you do? How would those around you react; those who know about your online self and those who don’t? Would you live in obscurity or make yourself a celebrity? What about the Government; would they be a problem? And what about dealing with your new form; does it come with any additional needs? Has your diet changed? Are you now nocturnal, or feel the need to hibernate?
Give it some thought and see what you can come up with. ;)

others would definitely know, but try to keep it on the down low, maybe post photos on obscure website, cause noone would believe such a thing was possible, oh nice photomanip!
and then they'd go "oh nice costume!"
Then again if I was turned into a pooltoy... then I'd make sure my pal Medik would get to keep me and more or less be my owner =P
If the exact form was up to me, then I would make it unnoticeable.
The only real differences would be making any future medical visits a hundred times more complicated. "Forget the back problems, sir, how long have you had a four-chambered stomach?"
I feel like having a baked potato *ding* here we go
As for what I would do? not too much different than what I do now, gaming, exploring, hanging out with friends, the usual, as for how would others react, quite mixed I'd say, many wouldn't likely take too well to a living toy, some I am sure, would adore it very VERY much, I'd make sure to hang around those folks, as I'd be likely accepted, and those who know me online would definitely accept me, as they know about me wanting to me one. ;)
I might live in obscurity, probably leave it to fate or chance if anything changes, if I am to be famous and recognized, or not, either way would work, both have their ups and downs. I honestly would have no idea about the government's reaction to a toy that is alive, I am sure they'd be very confused and interested in me, trying to probably figure out why I am alive, as opposed to others which aren't, I can only hope they wouldn't try to use me as some sort of weapon or something, I would prefer just to snuggle and be there for others to comfort and help make smile, like a good plush/pooltoy would! :D
Dealing with being a toy, is mostly about lack of strength, and dexterity since we'd likely lack fingers and toes, I doubt stuffing or air and rubber would be very strong on it's own, the good side is I would literally need nothing to survive, no food, water, or anything like that, it's quite a trade-off, I mean, even no worries about aging! my diet would indeed change, as mentioned before, no need for regular nourishment needs (which is good! I've never liked having to eat to survive anyways!).
I've always liked night time, and I'd likely not need sleep, so I could just pretty much be awake for whenever, would also miss dreaming... really do love dreaming, but being alive as a plush or pooltoy would be AMAZING, seriously, I know I might be weird, but I think the idea is really cool, which has often invaded my dreams anyways. :P
Overall, I think after I got used to it, I'd be fine with it, it has good and bad sides to it, which are important to consider, it would be indeed a very interesting experience, that I'd gladly try out anytime! and even better, is if I can make others smile, and laugh, and feel good, being a good toy, and friend, being there for my owner(s) always, and being loyal. ^w^
Gotta love being a plushie!
And together, we could spread the plushiness around, hehe. :P
In all seriousness, I'd probably end up living a relatively reclusive life, surviving solely by turning up to fancy dress parties and scoffing all of the food there. Did I say I was being serious? I never meant to.
Whatever species I ended up as alcohol would be a no-go for me. I've seen drunk pets before and, whilst highly amusing, would probably be quite detrimental to my health.
Buy a bigger keyboard. One thing I've noticed about TFs, everyone seems to end up with massive paws (amongst other things).
Money would be an issue. I imagine that if I was a furry I could get Adidas temporarily dyed into my fur if I had stripes anyway, or if I was a dragon, an advertising sponsorship from Lacoste. Or pet food which, having been a drunken student with ideas once, I can tell you tastes like shit which is probably why every pet dog or cat I've had seemed to have an obsession with licking their arse after every meal.
I could go on, but knowing me it'll get more disgusting from there on in.
After calming down Id probably see about seeing a doctor about what happened, and this would probably lead into becoming the hit of the 5 o'clock news. I don't really know what would happen in the resultant storm of chaos...although I could see myself either seeking asylum with the government trading tests, contributions, and a promise of donating my body to science, for protecting from crazy groups(and other countries) and a garuntee that he will not be forces into an early death. If not that I would probably working with a nature group that won't try to pick me apart for resources. Id also offer the opportunity for someone to try to figure out what happened to cause it for the interested parties(cause who wants to be alone ^^;)
As for other changes:
1. Diet probably wouldn't change, as I eat a pretty omnivorous diet as is.
2. My senses would probably be improved, especially my hearing.
3. Being a semi-nocturnal creature, Id probably end up being even more of a night owl than I already am.
4. LOTS more usage of hair and body wash...or fox fur wash if its more suitable. Id probably have to tend to my claws better than I do to my nails.
5. I don't know about clothes...depending on how constricted they would be to my fur, and how well thermally the fur protects me. In the more constricting case I could see myself being in only loose shorts and sandals.
6. Online wise...I dunno. Id probably at first attempt to still keep my main profile separate from the outside world, but I doubt that would last forever(not to mention those that know me on the page would make the connections). Once word got out, my watchers would probably balloon in size, but my FA page would still be set to be about my writing and com series, or at least archive of it if I didn't have the time to do them with other stuff going on.
Thats all I can think up now. Its an interesting question to say the least.
I would be delighted if it happened, if I turned into my Scalsona. I live with my parents still, and Mom knows about this stuff and is ok with it, so I know while shocked, she would be supportive. The main priority would be clothing most likely, since people would still expect that of me. Diet would most likely still be sweets, meats, and Pineapples x3 Just more of it, since I'd be expecting as part of my Scalsona. I probably would have to move, since people in my area are quite...um...Racist and hating weird stuff. I'd move in with my friend Keegan most likely, up in Canada, and tease him about me changing and him not x3 I'd definitely lay out in the sun more, and enjoy the warmth. Keegan would probably be shocked as well, but jealous and happy for me, and I know more than willing to help out.
I would definitely band together with Furry groups and push for more acceptance of Furries, because a lot of people have the wrong ideas about us :/
As for the government, I would have to make my new self widely known so the government couldn't kidnap me and etc. But I wouldn't be against have tests done to make sure I don't spread any new diseases around and what not.
Sounds interesting though, and seems you'd have fun, which is good. :3
Also, Preggy snake gal is win!
Preggy Woxie is win too :3
I am a very shy person now, god knows what i would be like if i was a feminine maneless lion X3
