《When Plush comes to Shove》Chapter 5 - Leaving the house
Advertisement
After Lizz finally wakes up on her own we decided to sit in front of the book and finally plan ahead for what we’ll do in the future.
If we’re going to to to a city then we need to know where a city is, any idéas?
“Geez, I’ve only lived here for a few years so it should I should be able to find my way to the nearest town.”
Really? So that means we have a destination at least, what’s the name of the city by the way? And what species live there?
“For the most part it’s humans, demi-humans and half-humans.”
Demi-humans? half-humans? This might be rude but, what's the difference?
“That’s not actually as rude as you think, a lot of people get them confused, although it’s frowned upon no one would challenge you to a duel to the death just for getting them mixed up. But the difference between them is that half-humans look like humans with animal parts attached to them, like a tail, ears, wings or sometimes even half an animal like with centaurs, while demi-humans look humanoid animals or insects and sometimes even like normal animals simply standing on their hind legs.”
Alright, but then where do you fit in?
“heh heh, listen and be amaze gobli-”
*pok*
“Ah!”
I told you, I’m not a goblin, okay?
“uhhhhh”
She’s looking at me with teary eyes while rubbing her forehead where i flicked her.
I think I may have gone a bit overboard by using Hunting Claws.
“Fine! I agree that you’re way too soft to be a goblin, but then what the fuck are you even?!”
I’m a plushy, and my name is Plush so stop calling me goblin!
“A plushy? I’ve never heard of that species before, you must be from really far away then.”
She keeps rubbing her forehead for a while and then wipes off her tears on her sleeve.
“Listen and be amazed!”
I ready another forehead flick in case she decides to call me a goblin again
She tries to seem unfazed and continue to speak, but I can see that she’s sweating up a river

“I-I am the product of my own magic, I used to be human but in order to study this book in peace I used magic to change myself and become like this, I am truly one of a kind!”
Starting off with a stutter but picking up speed midway through and still finish her little speech made me want to applaud her to make her feel better.
But instead I decided to give in to my mischievous side and tease her.
But aren’t your wings like those of a dragonfly? So if you’re a human with insect wings, doesn’t that make you a half-human?
*Crash*
It was like I could hear her world break into pieces as i said it.
“bu-bu-bu-bu-bu…..”
*Thud*
She fell into a splendid orz position.
“No…...no…..no…..”
I felt it was probably best to leave her to herself for a while and instead think a bit for myself.
‘When I arrived here Lizz made such a big deal about the book, that must mean it’s very famous and important so it would probably be bad to show it to everyone that i need to speak wi-’
*flutter* *flutter*
“...?”
The book Suddenly closed on its own and as I look towards it to see why.
*THUD*
*crack*
*poff*
It seemingly flew off of the ground and hit me square in the forehead and sent me flying to the house’s wall, and by the sound of it my mask broke as well.
I got up and it looked like I was wearing cracked glasses, my vision was hindered by a web-like shape and when I felt the mask with my hand I could feel small edges going across it.
As i looked around to try and find the book the web-like shape slowly started disappearing, though it happened incredibly slowly, and when i felt my mask I can feel that the edges ere slowly realigning themselves.
I still try to find the book and see Lizz, she’s still in an orz position with her body but her head is looking at me with a wide-open mouth.

“a-a-a-a p-page fell out of the book!”
’WHAT?!’
I finally spot the book and go towards it.
*flutter* *flutter*
I immediately raise my guard, however this time the book just went to a page and stayed open.

‘The notes tab is gone?! Forget talking with people I don’t trust, now I won’t even be able to talk with Lizz anymore!
While I was talking my mask had healed fully, and when it did I felt different.
“...! Plush!”
What now?
Feeling better after my mask healed I wasn’t quite as angry any more.
“There’s blue text on your mask!”
What?!
“I saw the page that fell out of the book go into the crack on your mask, I think it shows what you’re thinking!”
I stare at the book, this time with awe and surprise rather than anger, and go to pick it up.
“...” Lizz is still looking at me and the book with confusion and surprise showing in her eyes.
Now feeling much, much better, my mischievousness starts to resurfaces.
I lift my arm and make it ready for a forehead flick.
“Hiii!”
Sadly she notices me and immediately flies off.
“Don’t do that again!” She says as she looks at me while pouting.
Alright alright, I’ll save the forehead flicks for when you really deserve them, now that things have calmed down let’s return to what we were talking about before.
She lands and slowly starts walking towards me while looking at me like I’m some sort of monster.
When I came here you were making a really big deal about this book right? I’d imagine that that means it’s really important and/or famous and that probably means I won’t be able to carry it around in publi-
*flutter* *flutter*
Suddenly the book closes and both me and Lizz both hurriedly crouch down on the ground.
We hear what sounds like someone rubbing leather against leather for a while, with a few metallic *clinks* mixed in every now and then. (dunno any good onomatopoeia for rubbing leather)
“...”
“...”
“...”
Eventually we both look up at the book after it’s been silent for a while and see that it has now grown three straps made of the same material as the book’s cover, they all have metal buckles on them and two of them are going across the back of the book and look like backpack straps and the other seems to be holding the books closed. The books paper has also changed from glowing blue to normal paper white and if i didn’t know better I would think it to be a normal book.
Lizz and I look at eachother for a while and eventually I go to the book and try wearing it like a backpack.
it fits.
it fits perfectly.
in fact it’s kinda scary how well the size of the book fit on my back, it feels exactly like I’m wearing a normal backpack, albeit a bit harder.
I look at Lizz again.
I’m pretty sure that that's all of our problems solved now, so I think we’re ready to depart, do you have anything you need to take with you?
“Hell no! The sooner we get out of this shitty place the fucking better!”
She almost immediately darts off to the entrance.
But then something hits me.
Wait!
She barely manages to see me telling her to wait and stops to come back.
Come here and look at me.
I try to get my seriousness over to her in the text.
She flies towards me and hovers with her head in front of my mask.
‘Now then, if I can make anything I think appear on my mask as text when I want it to Then…’
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“Hiii!!” She screams and flies off as far as the book lets her.
Okay, now I’m ready to depart.
