Playing With Dolls is the sixteenth story arc in EGS:NP. It opened on August 1st, 2014 and ended on January 19th, 2015. Posted on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. It is part of canon and happens sometime after the Squirrel Prophet - Final Battle,[1] in fact the very next day.[2]
Summary[]
The story starts with Susan realizing that she didn't like when Nase, who looks like Nanase, watched her taking a shower.[3] Because Nanase had her magic back, Susan phoned her and asked her to make another doll that looked like Susan,[4] with Tedd's help. Nanase was surprised that Susan would let Tedd make a clone form of her[5] and Susan explained that she wanted one as a precaution and mentioned that the whole main cast used Tedd's scanner to "save" copies of their forms[6] (just like Sarah did back on Grace's Birthday party[7]). Susan also said that she wasn't bothered by Nanase having access to her form.[8]
When they arrived at Tedd's house, Tedd was a catgirl.[9] Tedd mentioned that she would use the transformation gun to give Grace new forms, including the clone forms, as she used Grace as backup.[10] Nanase was angry that Tedd had given Grace the ability to transform into her and asked what Grace would think if she had a watch of her form. Tedd answered that Grace would want her friends to have watches of her form[11] and that she wouldn't mind if her friends used her form in private. When Tedd offered Nanase a watch of Grace's form, Nanase couldn't resist the temptation.[12]
Tedd said that Nanase wouldn't have to transform into Susan in private since she wouldn't change enough that clothes would be an issue as both Nanase and Susan are women, but then realized that Susan is taller than Nanase.[13] Tedd decided to make a magic watch of Susan's form and Susan suggested modifying her form,[14] specifically to make the fairy doll proportionately shorter than herself.[15] Nanase teased Susan about wanting to modify her appearance for the fairy doll. Susan said that she only cared about practicality and Nanase pointed out that Susan had unpractically long hair.[16] Nanase said that Susan shouldn't be ashamed of wanting to be shorter and mentioned that she herself wanted to be taller. Tedd said that she had height change watches and Nanase noted that Tedd's basement was a place of great temptation.[17]
When Tedd showed Susan a model of her on a computer, Susan complained about the model being naked. When Susan mentioned Tedd's own form, Tedd offered her a watch of her (male) form[18] and suggested making a fairy doll of that form. Susan said that she didn't want a fairy doll of Tedd[19] but when she was Tedd making puppy eyes she asked Nanase to make such a doll.[20] When Nanase made the Tedd fairy doll, little Nase flew near her and Nanase found it weird to see a fairy doll that looked like her.[21] When Susan held the fairy doll she noted that it was poseable and wanted to play dress-up with it.[22]
In an intermission Grace clarified that the storyline is canon.[23]
When Susan asked for a height change watch to see what form she wanted, Nanase became enthusiastic and asked to use one herself.[24] Tedd said that the reliable height change watches couldn't change the user's height more than two inches and the with the more flexible watches it is hard to get the clothes right.[25] Susan and Nanase asked for flexible height change watches.[26] Tedd said that it is a bad idea to use such watches and let slip that she and Sarah had accidentally become naked many times during their experiments with magic.[27] Tedd gave Susan and Nanase watches to end the discussion.[28] When Susan used the height change watch to become short she managed to get the fit of her clothes right.[29] The resulting form had broad hips due to squishing shorter.[30]
Then Nanase used a watch to become tall.[30] She wound up with loose clothing due to growing both herself and her clothes as much as possible, which was more for her clothes than for her body.[31] Nanase asked how to reset and Tedd said that the only ways are to wait for the transformation to wear off and to try again.[32] Susan asked if Nanase could cancel out the transformation with another and Tedd explained that it would have a cumulative effect.[33] Susan asked how long it woulds take for the transformations to wear off and Teddsaid that it would take less than an hour. Nanase took off her trousers in the hope that it would change back at the same time as her as her shirt was long enough to cover her[34] but Tedd explained that it would take longer for her clothes to change back if she wasn't wearing them. Susan mentioned that it could have been worse if Nanase made her clothes tight enough to tear and Tedd said that the clothes wouldn't tear so Susan suggested that Nanase make her clothes tight.[35] Thus Nanase made her clothes tight.[36] Tedd said that when she tried to make the minimum looseness of clothes looser they would grow to their maximum size.[37]
Then Tedd brought up little Nase and the possibility of an improved spell. Susan was surprised when Tedd mentioned that she would have to check her spellbook.[38][39] Tedd pointed out that they knew about Elliot not reading his spellbook and Susan admitted that she had been avoiding her spellbook since she gained her magic under traumaatic circumstances.[40]
Then Nanase asked Susan what proportions she wanted for her fairy doll. Susan was unsure.[41] Nanase suggested making several fairy dolls.[42] Tedd asked Susan if she wanted to keep the watch of her forms that Nanase was going to use to make the fairy doll.[43] Susan asked Tedd what variants she could add to the watch and Tedd listed many options, including four breasts, which intrigued Nanase. Tedd didn't like the form with four breasts[44] and Nanase said that Tedd should have given it fore of a chance. Tedd offered Nanase a magic watch to shut her up.[45] Susan said that she only wanted one fairy doll of herself, with Nanase's height and proportions like the form she was in at the time.[46] When Tedd was ready to make the Susan watch, Nanase transformed back to her normal height.[47] Tedd asked Susan what additional forms she wanted for her watch and Susan asked for two forms with blonde and partly blonde hair and one with her normal height and enhanced proportions.[48]
When Nanase transformed into Susan with the clone form watch, Susan noted that it felt weird.[49] Then Susan changed back to her normal height and still thought it felt weird.[50] Nanase reassured Susan that she looks good tall but realized that it might come off as hitting on her.[51] Susan told Nanase about her complaints about being tall, including review show video commenters saying that she is lanky.[52] Hearing about those comments made Nanase angry.[53] Susan said that she shouldn't be bothered by the video comments but admitted that they bothered her. Nanase offered her a hug.[54] While they were hugging Tedd said that Susan could disable comments and Susan hugged her.[55]
When Nanase made her Susan fairy doll she landed in Susan's hands.[56] Susan noted that holding a living fairy doll was an interesting experience.[57] After Nanase left the fairy doll Susan let her hold little Nase.[58] Nanase tickled the fairy doll, which made Susan tickled. They talked about Susan's sensory feedback from the fairy doll.[59] Tedd explained that Susan can control the level of feedback and possibly take manual control of Nase.[60] Tedd also explained her magic insight and other things that she learned.[61] Susan asked why Tedd didn't tell them before and Tedd mentioned that they were short of time because of nanase's date with Ellen later that day. Nanase asked Susan to show if she could control Nase manually[62] and Susan told her that she often made the fairy doll carry things. Tedd told them that Susan could possibly use her fairy doll in first-person perspective.[63] Susan was intrigued by the possibility of flying as a fairy but decided to wait until she read her spellbook.[64]
Then Nanase made "updated" Nanase doll for Susan.[65] Susan said that she didn't want another fairy doll but Nanase said that she might want a Nanase doll sometimes and Nase hugged Nanase's fairy doll.[66] Then Tedd suggested making a fourth new fair doll from Nanase's Grace watch.[67] After Tedd instructed Nanase on the options of the Grace watch[68] Nanase transformaed into Grace.[69] Nanase complained about the outfits of the fairy dolls and Tedd told her that she could make the fairy doll with a different outfit so Nanase made the fairy doll with a dress of her choosing.[70]
When Susan was going to leave, Nanase was tempted to continue making fairy dolls and inviting Ellen to join them instead of going on their date.[71] After Susan and Nanase left Tedd thought about the four-breast form.[72]
The next night Susan slept with three of the new fairy dolls in her bed.[73]
