Table to go (Tabletaur TF) Draft

That bell. That haunting sound of a bell. It still haunted Lightness despite it having been a while since she last heard it. Yet, she couldn't forget. The fear and anticipation of that bell still ringing in the back of her head. Until the real one strikes again.

The whole thing started yesterday, while Lightness was just on her way home. It wasn’t a particularly important night, nor did she have any special plans for the evening. That’s why a certain message from a certain lovely goddess caught her so off guard.

“I’ll be needing a bit of help for a garden party I’m holding. Can I count on your assistance?”

That was all the message read. Lightness wanted to think it over. She wanted to deliberate working for Nagisa again, as it usually lead to very embarrassing situations for her. 

But it was already too late. When she looked away from her phone, she already stood on the vast green plain that was the hallmark of Nagisa’s domain. The only thing that was missing was the goddess…

“...herself? Glad to see you want to help out, my dear Lightness~” Nagisa asked, putting her hand onto Lightness' shoulder, startling her quite hard. Well, it hasn't really been more than one minute since the message, and Lightness already knew she couldn't escape anymore. 

Now the only question remaining was… what Nagisa had planned for her.

“This bell is my plan~” Nagisa giggled, showing an ominous golden bell in her hand. There was something seriously wrong with that bell… Light hair stood on edge just looking at it. It felt like it could bend Lightness to its whim just with a chime…

Ding~

Before Lightness even had a chance to respond, the bell chimed… and Light's body instantly reacted. She felt like something was cutting her clean in half, like her top and bottom half were increasingly separated. Like there was a line appearing just above her waist to separate her two parts…

“Jup, that is correct. After all, I need you to stay human up top, but I have bigger plans for the below~” Nagisa once again answered to Light’s thoughts, showing that there really are no secrets to this goddess. Although Lightness was much more worried about something else the goddess casually dropped…

She could feel it. Something creeping up on her legs. Changing them. Their texture… their material. Looking down a lot of what made her legs… distinct vanished, as the soft texture of her skin was more and more replaced by wood. High quality wood, but wood nonetheless. 

At the same time she saw something below her dress moving forwards. At first she thought it might be a toll manhood the goddess had placed on her to freak Lightness out, but it was way too big for that. And too flat. It more so looked like the entirety of her hips pushed forwards a massive wooden plank that janks forwards her skirt with it.

It was surprisingly flat and had very defined edges. If she didn’t know any better she’d say that her skirt now looked like a tablecloth more than a skirt… oh no.

“Oh yes~ You are catching on, I see~” Nagisa laughed, slapping the… wooden plank of Light, causing her to finally lose balance and tip forward, her poorly defined wooden stubs barely able to keep her upright. Though 'luckily' something started growing again from the underside of the table plank, two additional ‘legs’ to keep the plank upright, quickly lifting Lightness up into a non-tipped over state. 

And when she finally stood upright again, it dawned on her. 

She is a table. The entire lower half of her body is just a table.

“You are dead on the money. This little guy here is the LighTable-Bell. One little ring on this bad boy and the perfect LighTable will come running to your side~ And it has very many different modes build in.” Nagisa happily explained, while proudly showcasing the bell in her hand. “Oh, no need to worry. You are currently in free roam mode, so you should be able to walk normally.”

Much to Lightness relief that seemed to be true. While her wooden table legs were not as flexible or bendable as her human counterparts, they at least made her be able to move around. To be honest she was really worried she might not…

Ding~ “Dining mode”

The words echoed through Light's head, making her feel like Nagisa had just spoken into a microphone. And then, from one second to the next, all the control over her wooden legs was just completely gone. They straightened up, mirrored each other and stood still, making it physically impossible for Lightness to move her lower half whatsoever. Everything below the line that separated wood from skin was just completely frozen in place.

“Impressed yet~? Whoever holds the bell has the controls to our table. It’s like a remote, but with voice commands.” Nagisa happily bragged to which Lightness gulped. She really couldn't move her lower half at all anymore, but at least her upper body was still under her own control.

Ding~ “Table-maid”

“Hello and good evening. My name is Light and I’ll be your table and maid for tonight. Don’t hesitate to ask me for anything. I am happy to be of service.” Lightness spoke, bowing towards the empty table and then again towards Nagisa, a wide and welcoming smile forced onto her face that she couldn’t get rid of.  

“See~ The most useful table the world has ever seen~” Nagisa happily declared, while a soft ‘indeed’ slipped out of Lightness’ mouth unwillingly. But that's when Nagisa wagged her finger. “Oh, you haven’t seen half of it. After all, what is a meal without food?”

Ding~ “Table-cook”

“Tell me what you wish to eat and I shall prepare it for you!” While Lightness couldn’t really control those words coming out of her mouth, at least now she felt like she was much more in control of her actions again. Although there was a need, an insatiable urge deep within her. 

She needed to cook. She needed to please. Whatever Nagisa wanted to eat, she just had to prepare it in the grandest possible way a cook has ever… cooked. It felt like that was her purpose in life, something she couldn't resist and even less wanted to resist.

“I’ll tell you a little bit later. For now…”

Ding~ “Lightable”

Ah. The urge was gone. From one moment to the next just… gone. Now she felt much more like herself again… minus the still immovable lower half. 

“Alrighty. I am sure for my dinner tonight, you will make for the all in one ultimate helper~” Nagisa nodded, proud of her work. And while Light did not agree, she didn't really have the power to speak up against her. 

“Let me show you one more cool function.” Nagisa spoke. A cold shower ran over Lightness' back.

Ding~ “Turning mode”

Suddenly neither Lightness upper nor her lower body were able to be moved, at least not by her. So she just stood there, unmoving while Nagisa stepped ever closer, gently placing her hands on Lightness' shoulders…

And started spinning her entire upper body around, so that she was no longer facing the side the table was on. The dividing part between her human and table half was now freely turnable, free to whoever wanted to finetune the angle to whatever degree they desire. 

Ding~ “Resume”

And then Lightness could move her upper body again. It was as if nothing ever happened… except that she was now facing the completely other way. And even when she went to feel down on it, it seemed absolutely immovably locked in place, so that no matter what she tried she couldn't turn her upper body around again.

“Nope~ That right is reserved to whoever holds the bell. However, Turning mode is only for those who want to finetune stuff. there is a second way of just spinning you around.”

Ding~ “Turn”

Lightness wooden and human half desynced once again, spinning against her will until she was facing the table again. 

Ding~ “Turn”

There was nothing she could do to stop it. Her human half just turned away from her table side once again and her arms even tried to grab on to something, but to no avail. She was now looking away from her table, whether she wanted to or not.

“Anymore questions?” Nagisa grinned. Light was silent. Her disbelief and Arousal were too high for her to get out any word.

“Alright then. Dinner starts in an hour and you have much to prepare.”

Ding~ "Free Roaming mode”

Much to Lights surprise her legs once again functioned. All four wooden ones could move in a slow but steady way, making the possibility of an escape once again feasible…

Ding~ “Move to Location: Kitchen”

And once again, her control over her legs was greatly compromised. She could still move and in fact, now it even felt like she had to move, but only in one direction and nowhere else. And something told her that the direction she was wandering in didn't exactly lead to an exit.

All she could do is look back angrily as her legs moved against her will, onto the frontier known as the kitchen. Nagisa just smiled at her adorable expression.

Ding~ “Table-cook”

And just like that, her resentment was forgotten and her anger quelled. Everything… every bad thing in the world just suddenly mattered so little compared to the one thing that gave rise to Lightness ultimate dream. Whether she wanted to or not was no longer the question, the kitchen was the only place she wanted to be at.

After all, nothing fulfilled the heart of this little table more than cooking the perfect meal for her goddess and then being allowed to serve it on her back. The greatest honor of all.
