PMA-2027-9 - Goldie Plushie

Identification: PMA-2027-9

Nickname: Goldie Plushie

Classification: Divine Plushie

Rating: C

Visual Description

PMA-2027-9 is a small plush toy resembling the Goddess Goldie Kitsune. The plushie is appealing to children especially, with soft fur and a friendly appearance. There are three distinct variations of PMA-2027-9, each with unique poses and motifs, designated as follows:

• PMA-2027-9-A: This variation features a smiling Goldie with open arms, inviting individuals for a hug. The expression is warm and welcoming, designed to evoke a sense of comfort and security.
  
  
• PMA-2027-9-B: This version depicts Goldie with praying hands, suggesting joining in prayer. The pose is majestic and powerful, showing the divine element of these plushies.
  
  
• PMA-2027-9-C: This plushie shows Goldie with a kissing mouth and open arms, inviting individuals for a kiss. The expression is affectionate and endearing, aiming to elicit feelings of love and affection.

Each variation of PMA-2027-9 appears and feels like a typical plush toy when inactive. Multiple instances of each designation have been discovered and cataloged, with each instance marked by an additional counter at the end of the designation (e.g., PMA-2027-9-A-1, PMA-2027-9-B-2)

Effect Description

Each variation of PMA-2027-9 exhibits slight differences in its effects, but they ultimately function similarly. The plushies possess both positive and negative triggers, with negative triggers being consistent across all variations. Misbehaving in the presence of a Goldie Plushie activates various effects depending on the nature of the misbehavior:

• Violence: Results in the petrification of the individual. The resulting statue vanishes when no one is looking, with the destination of the vanished individuals remaining unclear, possibly related to a place referred to as Elystria.
  
  
• Cursing or Speaking Ill of Goldie or Foxes: This transforms the individual into another Goldie Plushie. These plushies also vanish when unobserved, with their destination similarly uncertain. They do not share the other properties of the PMA-2027-9 besides the look, often taking different poses than the known PMA-2027-9 designations.

Hypnotic Effects

Staring into the eyes of a Goldie Plushie induces a calming, hypnotic effect. The impact varies among individuals.

• Some become eager to follow the plushie's suggested actions, such as giving it a kiss or cuddling it.
• Others begin mumbling about "The Great Gold One," ceasing only when the plushie is removed from their view and, subsequently, forgetting the incident.
• A few individuals become actively playful, teasing researchers or climbing on nearby objects like children.

Positive Triggers

Each variation of PMA-2027-9 has a unique positive trigger related to Goldie and her preferred behaviors:

• PMA-2027-9-A: Activated by hugging the plushie.
• PMA-2027-9-B: Activated by praying to Goldie.
• PMA-2027-9-C: Activated by kissing the plushie.

Upon activation, the individual triggering the plushie may transform into a foxgirl shrine maiden, characterized by playfulness, joy, and bubbliness. These transformed individuals remain as long as they are observed and can engage in conversations, actively praising Goldie and seemingly influenced by visions of the goddess. If left unobserved, they vanish, with the assumption that they are transported to Elystria.

These foxgirl shrine maidens have inherited magic, such as the ability to summon bubbles or let their tail grow or shrink. There are no reports of them using these abilities in hostile ways.

Worthiness and Activation

Tests and reports show that not all people who interact with the PMA-2027-9 plushies trigger foxification. The common hypothesis is that either the PMA-2027-9 plushie or PMA-Great-Gold-One Goldie assesses the triggering person in some unknown fashion. The PMA decided to name this the “worthiness” of the person in the eyes of PMA-2027-9.

Tests are uncertainof what exactly makes an individual worthy or unworthy. The amount of tests and willing subjects are too low to give a clear answer. Assumptions suggest that an affinity to being playful and a love for foxes, cuddles, bubbles, or a strong faith in the goddess Goldie Kitsune are required.

Multi-Plushie Interaction Warning

Under no circumstances should multiple Goldie Plushies be placed in close proximity to one another. Doing so awakens them, causing them to grow into massive plush monsters that absorb nearby individuals into their plush forms. They deactivate and return to a dormant state only if they move too far apart, such as during a chase. Their behavior is playful, caring, and friendly, inviting hugs and kisses unless individuals run away, which triggers a chase mode.

Environmental Impacts

PMA-2027-9 leaves nothing behind and does not affect the environment at all.

Society Impacts

The emergence of PMA-2027-9, the Goldie Plushies, has had several notable impacts on society, particularly in relation to faith, containment efforts, and the broader implications of their anomalous effects.

Faith in the Great Gold One

The appearance of Goldie Plushies across the globe has sparked the formation of small, devoted communities centered around the worship of the Goddess Goldie Kitsune, also known by her designation PMA-Great-Gold-One. These pockets of faith are driven by the desire to understand and embody the qualities deemed worthy by the Plushies, with the ultimate goal of joining the divine realm of Elystria. The plushies' presence has reignited interest in ancient folklore and spiritual practices, fostering a sense of mysticism and reverence among believers.

Containment and Allied Efforts

The PMA has taken a proactive approach to collecting and containing PMA-2027-9 instances, recognizing the potential risks associated with their uncontrolled presence. Allied nations, including Canada, Germany, and France, have requested assistance in storing and containing these plushies, highlighting the global cooperation in managing this phenomenon. The containment efforts aim to prevent accidental activations and ensure the safety of the public.

Minimal Societal Disruption

Despite their anomalous nature, PMA-2027-9 instances have not caused major disruptions in society. Individuals who fall prey to the plushies' effects vanish, either through petrification, plushification, or transformation into foxgirl shrine maidens. This disappearance mitigates immediate harm or societal impact, as those affected are removed from the public sphere before any significant disturbance can occur.

Return of Victims

Many individuals who were petrified or plushified have reappeared after weeks or months, often recounting their experiences in Elystria. These returnees describe a realm where they were treated warmly and teased playfully by foxgirls in their transformed states. Their accounts have further fueled curiosity and fascination with the Goldie Plushies and the realm of Elystria, with some even expressing a desire to interact with the plushies again, hoping to be deemed worthy of the positive trigger.

Long-Term Implications

The long-term implications of PMA-2027-9's presence in society remain uncertain. While the immediate impacts are manageable, the growing interest in Goldie Kitsune and Elystria could lead to deeper cultural shifts and changes in spiritual practices. The return of victims and their experiences in Elystria raise questions about the nature of this realm and its connection to our world, potentially influencing future research and containment strategies.

Economic and Cultural Shifts

The fascination with Goldie Plushies has also led to economic opportunities, with merchandise and memorabilia inspired by the plushies becoming popular in certain circles. In some areas, the plushies came into possession of clever businesses, who are using the hype and the attention toward the plushies to push their own establishments, like big malls or restaurants, promising visitors the possibility of interacting with an instance of PMA-2027-9. While some of the more shady business managers seem to have fallen prey to the effects of PMA-2027-9 themselves, in many cases, it seems to run well. It is uncertain if the goddess is simply ignoring these cases of using her divine plushies for business or if she is unaware of it.

Containment Rating

PMA-2027-9 is classified with a Containment Rating of C. While the plushies can have negative effects, such as causing individuals to vanish, their overall impact is not deemed immediately dangerous to society as a whole. The primary concern lies in managing their storage and preventing uncontrolled activations.

The containment of PMA-2027-9 presents unique challenges due to its anomalous properties and the Multi-Plushie Interaction Effect. While a single Goldie Plushie is relatively easy to store, requiring minimal space and remaining dormant when not triggered, the storage of multiple 

• Distance Requirement: Each PMA-2027-9 must be stored at least 10 meters away from any other instance, even through walls. The PMA is using 15 meters in their protocols to ensure safety for personnel. This requirement ensures that the plushies do not activate and grow into massive plush monsters, which could pose significant risks to personnel and facilities.

• Individual Storage and Transportation: Due to the distance requirement, each Goldie Plushie must be stored and transported individually. This necessitates a substantial allocation of resources and space, complicating containment efforts.

Approximately 100 PMA-2027-9 instances are known to exist. The exact number of the individual locations and possession information are stored in the attached database on the PMA server. Due to the active situation, the data changes too quickly to give a good, final picture. The PMA currently possesses 31 of these, with an additional 28 in the custody of allied nations. The remaining plushies are held by small religious communities who revere them as divine messengers of the Great Gold One. These communities actively pray to the plushies, seeking to understand their worthiness and potentially trigger positive effects.

Achieving full containment of PMA-2027-9 is complicated by the apparent intervention of the PMA-Great-Gold-One. Efforts to collect the plushies in larger quantities have been met with the appearance of new instances within the population, suggesting that the goddess is actively preventing the full containment of PMA-2027-9.

Given the challenges of full containment, the PMA leadership has decided to allow most PMA-2027-9 instances to remain in the possession of religious communities. However, the situation is closely monitored to ensure public safety and to gather further insights into the plushies' behavior and effects. This approach balances the need for containment with the practical limitations imposed by the plushies' anomalous nature.

Discovery

Date: 5.1.2027

Location: Rented Hall in New York, USA

On January 5, 2027, the first documented instance of PMA-2027-9, designated as PMA-2027-9-C-1, was identified in New York City. The plushie was in the possession of a female university student, whose means of acquiring the item remain undetermined. The student organized a large gathering in a rented hall, inviting numerous friends, family members, and fellow students. The purpose of the event, as later revealed through interviews and chat protocols, was to present PMA-2027-9-C-1 as a divine messenger connected to the Goddess Goldie Kitsune.

During the event, the student initiated contact with PMA-2027-9-C-1 by kissing the plushie. This action triggered the transformation, altering the student's physical form and mental behavior into that of a foxgirl shrine maiden, also known as a Kinari Shrine maiden. The transformation was characterized by a playful and joyful demeanor, which captivated the audience and inspired many attendees to follow suit. As more individuals kissed the plushie, similar transformations occurred. Those who did not undergo the transformation were enveloped in bubbles by the newly transformed shrine maidens. 

Eyewitness accounts provide a detailed timeline of the events. By approximately 11 PM, roughly half of the remaining guests had transformed into foxgirl shrine maidens, while the other half were floating inside bubbles. The last known witness to leave the gathering described a scene where the transformed individuals engaged in playful activities, and the bubbled guests drifted serenely above the festivities. When concerned individuals returned to the hall the following morning, they found it empty. All attendees who had remained at the event had vanished without a trace.

The disappearance of the attendees has led to the hypothesis that they were transported to Elystria. This assumption is based on the transformative properties of the plushie and the testimonies of those who have since returned. The PMA-2027-9-C-1 plushie was subsequently secured by the FBI, who shared their findings with the PMA. 

The result was that 21 people vanished, and 11 of them became shrine maidens. 7 eyewitnesses later left the party without interacting with PMA-2027-9-C-1.

Noteworthy Incidents

Rittstein Party Incident (January 7, 2027)

During a party in Rittstein, Slimea, one of the guests appeared as a foxy Shrine Maiden, holding a PMA-2027-9-A in her arms, designation PMA-2027-9-A-1. The shrine maiden playfully interacted with the other party guests, trapping several in bubbles and allowing two of her friends to also hug the PMA-2027-9-A-1, transforming them into shrine maiden foxgirls as well. The three fox girls left the party together after midnight and vanished afterwards. The PMA-2027-9-A-1 was found down the road, only around 150 meters away from the party house. It can be assumed that they were transported to Elystria.

It was the first incident in Slimea.

Plush Party Incident (February 2, 2027)

A yearly plush-lover party was held in Silberstein, Slimea. Guests appeared either wearing self-made plush suits or brought with them their favourite plushies. This year, Plush Dogs were not invited, due to the famous plushification incident of the former year. Three guests have, individually and without knowing each other, each brought a PMA-2027-9 plushie with them to the party. As the three met, their PMA-2027-9 plushie triggered the Multi-Plushie Interaction and transformed into giant goldie plushies.

Luckily, panic was prevented, as most guests were welcoming of the giant plushie, actively seeking their cuddles. Reports speak of several guests missing afterward, assumingly being absorbed by the plushies and transported to Elystria.

The three PMA-2027-9 remain in the possession of their owners. The incident brought attention to the requirement to never let multiple instances of PMA-2027-9 be close to each other.

Comments

Government of Slimea

The government sees the faith in the Great Gold One as a permitted, non-dangerous religious movement and suggests not preventing the interaction with PMA-2027-9 instances as long as it stays peaceful and does not disturb the peace in society.

Goldie Kitsune

During a visit of the goddess to Earth, a reporter in Japan was able to receive a comment from the goddess herself, designated PMA-Great-Gold-One, to the PMA-2027-9 instances. The goddess denied knowing about them and suggested to just follow the human instinct when seeing them. PMA assumes that Goldie lied and is actively behind the appearances of the PMA-2027-9 because Goldie whistled ‘innocently’ after being asked the question. This was caught on camera and gained popularity on the internet under the name ‘Innocent Whistling Kitsune’.

Hunter’s Guild

The guild has acquired multiple instances of the PMA-2027-9 for events. They claim to only let volunteers interact with the plushies, allowing them to either become shrine maidens or to be trapped in some way. The guild hopes that continued interaction will allow some shrine maidens to become active hunters for the guild.
