Plush Realm: liquid Plush I'm going to guess that there aren't a lot of people who have their own 'plush realm'. Or if there are, a lot of them seem to be very secretive about it. Having one myself, has given me some things to think about, that I normally wouldn't have otherwise. Stuffing, faux fur, and, well, plush stuff in general, seems to lose its cuddly factor when it soaks up any amount of water in the real world. While you get all kinds of plush critters, it seems the more aquatic based ones tend to be out of their element when stuck in a dry, land based world. As it turns out, in the plush realm, this doesn't always have to be so. During the early days of my exploring the realm, I discovered there is also a liquid form of plush along with the regular kind. I'm using plush and stuffing in a rather loose form here. To be honest, I'm not really sure what to call it. It certainly feels soft, much like the regular, dry stuff that you find laying around over there. Only, the properties seem to mimic that of liquid water from the real world. I decided to finally get around to writing an article on the things I discovered about the material. Transparency: Generally, the 'liquid' form of stuffing seems to be pretty transparent. It reflects light like how normal water does. Although, there does seem to be a kind of quality to the transparency. From nearly clear, to rather murky. Like if you were to look through muddy, murky water. Some experimenting has show, this clearness quality doesn't seem to move around if there's no flow happening. It stays with a very specific region of the liquid stuffing itself. Flow: Flowing creeks, rivers are a thing. It can and will move like normal water. Only you don't get the whole burlbing, bubbling sound like you do with normal water. It's actually pretty quiet. At the moment, I don't know of any large bodies of flowing liquid plush splashing into a pool. Though, I kind of wonder if it sounds like fabric brushing on fabric sort of thing, perhaps? While you can pick up a handful of liquid stuffing, it has the same behaviour of trying to flow around and down like one would expect. Adhesion: Normal water will adhere to surfaces, due to tension. Liquid stuffing is similar. It will cling a little to surfaces in tiny bits, giving things a bit of a 'wet' look. Though, it's found that over time it eventually falls away, mimicking a drying effect. Weight: Normal stuffing doesn't have any noticeable weight, that is, until you get large amounts of it. Liquid plush seems to have a bit more weight, perhaps slightly less than twice the density. At the moment, it's just a guess since having to judge by hand. And stuffing in general has some level of compressibility. Compression: Liquid stuffing also doesn't compress as easily as the normal kind. This kind of falls in line with normal water, since it doesn't compress at all. Breathing through: Unlike normal water, where drowning is a very real thing. Submerged in liquid plush, breathing is possible, but there are some things to be aware of. Breathing is slightly more difficult. Nose breathing is referred as liquid stuffing seems to avoid the smaller openings, for some reason. If breathing through the mouth is preferred, a cloth mask suffices to keep things out, while still passing air. Staying in a specific place of non-flowing liquid plush for long periods of time will start to create a pocket of stale air. It doesn't use up all the air unless breathing is very heavy, since it is slowly replaced. Although it will make it a little more difficult to breathe. Ingestion: Ideally, swallowing any stuffing isn't recommended. While it doesn't do any harm, it can cause a rather 'filled' feeling with no benefits. It will eventually pass through, with no effects to the person or the material itself. Or just become non-existent as soon as the realm is exited. Cursed: Also, like regular stuffing, there is a chance that some material will be cursed. The effects can vary, depending on the specific curse. Unlike normal stuffing, and the curse itself, removal might prove more difficult, due to the liquid nature. These are things I could think of at the moment. I'm sure there are a lot of other qualities that could be remarked on.
