"H-huh? S-Star, where are we?" The bear was the first to wake, noticing the uncanny nature of his surroundings. He couldn't see anything, apart from himself and his adventuring partner shrouded in a faint blue glow.
"Wh-what happened? Weren't we just..." The hare responded, perplexed at the sudden change. He started to reply to the bear, tracing their steps in his mind...
"... in the tower, practicing -" "- a new... enchantment for my... um... blade?"
The bear finished his partner's sentence, though he looked around with shifty eyes, blushing. Even in the apparent absence of anyone else in this realm, he wasn't about to say that out loud.
"Right, so I cast it." "What?" "I, um... cast the enchantment on your-" "Okay hold on WHAT!?" "I mean I thought you wanted to spice things up, so-" "And you didn't - you didn't check on like, a - an apple, or like, loaf of bread, or-" "Well no, it made the touchstone buzz a little, but I mean-" "Oooookay fine sure whatever. I mean maybe teleporting to a new plane every time we do it technically counts as 'spicing it up' but..." "S-sorry... I'll work on porting us out!" "I know... love you, honeybun." "Love you too sweetbear~"
After their heated conversation, the bear gave his partner some space to work on his spell. Idly slashing at the void, he noticed the magicked runes carved on his blade start to fade...
"Hey, are you making any progress...? My sword's starting to lose charge fast." "Yeah... the magic here seems to... not really mesh with ours. It's like trying to build a sandcastle on a flooding beach."
Oddly, the bear thought he could feel... or see, the blue glow starting to intensify. This was different from the runes on his blade, their cobalt hue faded (from which he took his name,) and he was beginning to worry that it signalled the arrival of... something.
The hare, meanwhile, continued to consult his book for components to create a spell to leave this plane. The sigils and arcane geometry on the pages shifted and pulsed as he did so, making interpretation quite difficult... and he felt his magic draining away.
"Cobalt, I don't know if I can-!" Suddenly, the blue glow became so bright it blinded the pair, and they felt themselves lifted as they yelled in surprise.
"Wh-what now!?" Their eyes adjusting to the light, each saw the other, only a few feet away, being hoist up by bright cyan tentacles... Looking around, the whole area - miles in every direction - was filled with them, as if they were part of the realm itself.
Instinctively, the bear tried to shift the blade in his paw around, hoping to cut himself free, before noticing it was... a mockery of his former weapon. The edge and tip were so blunt that it wouldn't even be able to cut through tender meat, let alone this tentacled monstrosity, and the hilt barely fit his paw. He didn't bother trying to channel a spell through the dinky thing, though it wouldn't have worked anyway.
At the same time, the hare flipped to a dogeared page in his book, and began casting - he hesitated for a moment when his familiar maroon fire didn't coalesce in his paw, replaced with a wisp of pink, along with a strange sigil around his other paw. Desperate, he reached toward the book again - but it was already snatched from his grasp by another tentacle.
"Greetings...! You two seem like a very... unique pair. Apologies for the surprise... I was busy pacifying some other guests." Something was speaking into their minds. A single, giant eye, in a gap between all the tentacles, was the origin.
"Y-you bast-" As soon as the hare protested, he felt himself choke up... with alarming accuracy, a tentacle pushed a gag of some sort right into his maw. Looking down, he realized it was... a pacifier!? Pink, and with hearts on it too. The rubber part of the paci filled his entire mouth, so he couldn't simply spit it out either.
"Ah ah ah! No bad words here! Oh, and I should get the rest of your outfit ready... It's tailor-made for you after all!"
A mass of tentacles surrounded Star, covering him completely from the bear's view. The bear tried to thrash against his restraints, to save his boyfriend, to do anything at all, but all he could do was watch.
"Tada!!!"
The outfit looked like something out of a child's fairytale, though from its appearance, it was not designed by a child... A large pink bow adorned Star's ear, and another on his chest, highlighting an even pinker dress, complete with a ruffled skirt and sleeves. Star's legs were wrapped in light pink stockings, and where he once wore enchanted rubber boots for resisting magic, his boots were now hot pink and yellow, accenting his dress and headband.
This was all noticed after the more prominent feature of Star's new uniform - the thick, thigh-spreading plastic covered diaper.
"Wh-what the he-aaaaaa...AAA!!" The bear's comment was cut short as he felt his mouth forced open by two of the tentacles, contorting it into a ridiculous smile.
"What did I saaaay? No. Bad. Words. Now I know what you're thinking: 'oh no, my boyfriend's dressed up like a girly little BABY, that's so... cute!' I can see into your mind, little Cobalt, and trust me, this is what he wants. It's what you want too, isn't it?"
There was no response, but the blushing from both Star and him made it hard to argue.
"It's okay, deny it all you like... Eventually this smile will be your own. Now let's get you all pampered up~"
The tentacles wrapped around the bear, transforming his armor into something more fitting for Cobalt. A baby blue tiara adorned his hairdo, and he now wore soft white gloves and booties with a dash of blue in the middle where his pawpads were. His dress was also periwinkle, ruffles around his chest, short white sleeves, white buttons around the abdomen, a butterfly bow at the back and an even shorter skirt - Cobalt could tell it was to show off even more of his massive, soft diaper. His scarf, a scintillant blue, made of magesilk to enhance his spellblade abilities, remained the same - though totally devoid of power.
"All done! Now I know you two aren't quite eager to get used to your new life just yet... so how about a little push?"
This was a rhetorical question, of course, as the pair felt the tentacles getting a bit more... intimate with themselves. Cobalt's mouth, still held open, felt something warm - the tentacles were making it, somehow.
"This might make you a little drowsy... a little drooly, a little desperate. Oh, and little Star is getting it too - that paci might not make him cast the magic he wants, but I'm sure he'll feel the effects all the same~" The tentacled entity squeezed and fondled their padded bottoms as it spoke... eventually, even reaching inside. "And don't bother resisting... if you don't let the magic flow out naturally, I have PLENTY of ways of making sure you're all set for the Denizens. So just relax... it'll be easier on you if you embrace who you are inside~"
Cobalt and Star, fed by the entity, began to feel tired... Forgetting how they got here, why they were floating like this, why they were dressed like this... Their minds fought against their urges, for hours, days, seconds... As time flowed strangely, they felt gravity, a weight, pushing downwards, anchoring them to the floor. Slowly, they got up, the vision in their eyes hazed and blurred by blue, before stumbling to their paws. Forced to crawl, they went to the only thing they could see in the distance, a figure -
"Oh... oh boy. We got a couple of new gals... looks like whoever got 'em really gave 'em a rough time..."
