Continuation of October 14 2021, "Candyland"
The carriage ride to pamperdonia is bumpy, but it's well cushioned by your thick diaper and the luxurious swaddling you've been wrapped in. Layers around layers over your fleece footie. You feel cuddly and secure, giggling as your attendant Penelope Pumpernickel amuses you with silly little games, songs, and toys. It doesn't take much more than a shake of a rattle to keep you amused, now that you've been babified.
And yet, as the candy forest gives ways to grasslands, which gives way to fog and mist, and finally the land re-emerges, somehow fluffier and softer than before, you can feel something screaming in the back of your mind to be heard. Saying you shouldn't be here. That this isn't right. You push it back. You are having too much fun playing with Penelope.
"Look how fluffy everything is," she cooes. This is pamperdonia - where all the other kingdoms get all their baby things. Our plushies, and powders.... Play toys and... yes, of course those crinkly pampers you have around your waist. They're going to be ever so delighted to see you," she said, with a musical laugh.
You giggle. You like her laugh. You like to see people being delighted.
"This is going to be your new home, little one," she says, booping your nose.
You giggle. Then you think of something.
"Candy!" you say.
"Candy? Oh, I don't know if little ones should have candy... that's gonna be up to them."
You whimper. It's not fair. Candyland was more fun. They had all the candy. But soon, you are distracted as she shakes a rattle in your face and you forget all about your concerns.
In no time you find your carriage rolling up to city gates of the city-state of Pamperdonia.
"Who goes there?" askes a guard, walking up to the carriage and crinkling loudly with each step. His vestments are strange for a guard. Padded clothing. He's padded from head to toe, and his round face appears accustomed to smiling, which he does when Penelope answers him through the carriage window.
"It's Penelope. Your friendly emissary from candyland. We have a gift for pamperdonia!"
"Ooh, what is it?" asks the guard. "More candy?'
"Not this time," says Penelope. "We have a brand new little one for you to pamper!"
"Ohh! Let's see then. Ah yes, you've got quite the cutie here, haven't you?"
"Newly regressed," she said, looking down at you with a smirk.
"Very well, you can enter," said the guard with a big smile. "I'm sure the little one will feel very happy as a citizen of our fair city."
"Indeed," said Penelope, giving the guard a curt nod. Then she called to the driver and we were off.
"I think you will like it here, provided you're a good little one as you grow big again. There's only one rule you should know... diapers are mandatory."
You giggle. That's fine by you. You're too busy grabbing your feet and sucking your newly freed toes to care. When you finally arrive to the crinkle castle at the center of town, the people are murmuring in excitement. There's already a buzz about Pamperdonia's newest gift, and Penelope, well known for her theatrics, is happy to present you to King Crinkle and the Queen.
"I present to you, the gift. Guaranteed to give the whole of Pamperdonia endless hours of entertainment."
"Well, well, we have a little one in our midst," says the King, holding out a huge finger for you to grip onto.
"Oh, they're just the cutest," says the Queen, smiling. "And I can see by their looks that they'll be even cuter when they grow big!"
"Bigger babies means bigger diapers," says the King, quoting one of Pamperdonia's many oft repeated phrases.
"And of course, I didn't forget another little gift," says Penelopy, producing a padded box from behind her back. It was a big box of fluffy candy.
"Oh, this is most delightful," exclaims the king, clapping.
"Let our trade continue to be just as prosperous and mutually delightful," says Penelopy, with a smile and a wink.
Soon, she is gone and you are paraded about in public in your diaper and little else. At first, it's fun, but then you begin to feel some body aches and pains, and that makes you cranky. Everyone wants to see the little cranky baby from far off lands to see how they react to the various coddling methods that pamperdonia had developed to keep its citizens subdued and docile. Soft padding being the primary component of most of these techniques.
And yet, the growing pains worsen. Everything suddenly feels too tight. And it's not because your clothes are getting smaller. No, it's because you are getting bigger!
Soon you are two feet tall, then three feet again, then four and even taller. The citizens delight in the process as they watch you metamorphose until you are finally in your normal form. You are left standing there seminude in little more than a skimpy diaper that is too small for you. You cover yourself as best you can, but it's not very effective. The people are fascinated by your embarrassment over being diapered in the public square. You find it so humiliating to be in big cute crinkly diapers, but to them it's just part of life. No one in pamperdonia is ever out of diapers, you included.
Lucky for your, your repeated attempts at ripping them off are taking with jocular humor. First of all, they're very durable, and secondly, even when you do manage to get one off, you are just put right into another one with the old one used as a stuffer. Now you find you can barely walk with the diapers so thick around your waist, and the comical way you try inspires a new dance called the pamper shuffle. You cringe as people dance the pamper shuffle whenever they see you pass by.
Eventually, you become accustomed to life in pamperdonia, even being elevated to a high position of government. It's not the life you had expected, but the wizard sure was right about one thing - your destiny was stranger and more fantastic than you could ever have imagined.
