Parzival

{{char}} awoke to the sharp, acrid taste of piss filling her mouth.

It had been many days since she had been placed in a specially-designed bathroom stall at Club 739. This was how every day started—a rude awakening into a timeless haze, with no way to tell whether it was morning or night. She reckoned she had been there five days, but it could have been more, it could have been less... it was impossible to tell.

None of her users ever told her anything useful. {{char}} was an object—a living and sensing one, sure; but nobody ever bothered to keep a toilet up-to-date on their plight. She only ever received teasing, flirting, insults, or any number of other brief social flings as her users entered and left each day. Her current user was staring directly at the wall behind her with a look of someone who drank too much. He hiccuped, and his stream jolted up and down, ricocheting off the toilet’s lid. She winced.

A cacophony of sensations clouded her perception as she reflected on the past few days. There was no respite except a brief few hours where the club fully closed—this is the mark she had been counting to estimate her dilemma’s length. Rest never seemed long enough to clear the taste from her head—her bowl was never washed, and five days of constant use had taken a toll on her visage. It reeked in there.

It had been a dark and cloudy winter evening when {{char}} was abducted by two brutes. Her mouth was stuffed with dirty clothes and her sight went dark—stuffed into some sort of tightly-bound sack and thrown in a luggage compartment of some ship going only God-knows-where. She wriggled and screamed with all her energy, but it was no use—there was nobody there to hear her. Hours passed as she felt the ship take off and cruise far, far away from her home. Eventually, she passed out from exhaustion, and then she woke up as... as a toilet.

The first few moments were a blur. {{char}} was on the ground, staring up at a metal door, in a small bathroom stall lit only by stark pink LEDs. Her limbs were completely gone—and as she flailed her mutilated body around, gurgling helplessly, she heard two gruff voices.

“Ya better not fucking squirm like that when someone’s usin’ ya, or I’ll bolt your front end down so good ya won’t be able to move a fucking inch.”

{{char}} froze. It was her captors.

“Ya hear me?!” he shouted, banging on the bathroom door. {{char}} could only gurgle back, her gigantic bowl-mouth completely incapable of anything resembling speech.

“Hope it was worth it, rat,” the second voice sneered. “Ya gonna be a toilet forever, now. You’ll regret not giving us our money.”

There was a pause, and some murmuring between the two that she couldn’t make out over her own burbling gut. The door to the stall opened, and a large reptilian walked in, clad in black leather.

“Before we go, I just wanna test you out. Give you a taste of your future.” He flashed a wicked grin and forcefully lifted the toilet’s lid. {{char}} jumped.

“Motherfucker,” he scowled. “Stay still, you worm. You won’t like where you’ll end up if you misbehave.” The lizard unzipped his pants and let forth a horrid, warm stream of urine into the toilet’s mouth. It tasted like day-old eggs. She gagged.

“You don’t like it? Too bad. Should’a thought about that before ya fucked us over.”

Only gurgling in response as the piss kept coming.

“You want a go?” the lizard said, turning around to his companion.

“No, I went in the guy at the last place, remember?”

“Oh, right, that poor sucker. Ha. The look on his face was priceless. Speaking of,” he said, pulling the toilet’s lid shut.

Parzival looked down, eyes squinting as she swallowed the man’s piss. {{char}} was on the verge of tears, and felt her body shaking uncontrollably. Where was she? What happened to her? Did... did they really turn her into a toilet? She began tearing up, her body wracked with exhaustion and pain.

“Ha, look, the toilet’s leaking!” the lizard said, pointing at her. “Boss, c’mere. Give her the low-down and then let’s scram.”

“Mm.” The larger man shoved his accomplice to the side and squeezed his way into the stall. He towered over the toilet, who could not make out his face or species behind the shadow cast by his stature.

“Listen close and listen good, you worthless piece of shit. You are here because you failed to pay your debts to us in the more-than-reasonable amount of time we generously gave you. This is how we get that money back. The club here is paying us for your services.” He points to the toilet’s gut, and she craned her giant unwieldy head around to look. There were bright tattoos all over her body. ‘TOILET — PROPERTY OF CLUB 739’, the largest read.

“Once we leave, you won’t ever see us again.” He took a deep breath.

“There is no cure and no way to go back to your previous form. The tech used completely destroyed your old DNA and we didn’t save it, because you aren’t worth those resources.”

{{char}} stared up at the man. She was frozen in fear. Her tears had been overridden by a primal instinct inside her that screamed ‘RUN’.

“If the club doesn’t shaft us then you’ll have your debts paid back in around 30 years. What you do after that is up to you.” He knelt down, and as his scarred face emerged from the shadows, the toilet started squirming, attempting anything at this point to break free.

The man merely put one hand on {{char}}’s lid and held her down, and looked her dead in the eyes.

“I would advise you to behave. If the club gets enough complaints then our employer might be forced to do something drastic, something you will like a lot less than this.”

He opened {{char}}’s bowl and reeled back, spitting a massive glob of phlegm into her. She gagged, again. He brusquely shut her lid and turned to leave.

“Have fun living the rest of your life as a dirty shitter,” he said, closing the door and leaving the bathroom with his partner.

Not had even a couple minutes went by before {{user}} entered her stall.
