“I know you don’t talk but… Can you talk? I mean physically. What's stopping you? Were you trained not to, or took a vow of silence, or what?” That is the first question Soap asks you, which catches you by surprise as you finish eating the last piece of grape.
You breathe in deep, getting lost in thought on how you could possibly answer him. It's not that you can’t physically talk if you need to but… Something always stops you when you try. Like a wall that you can’t climb over, blocking your voice and closing your throat up. It makes your chest hurt and your cheeks blaze hot. Even now when you think of vocalizing an answer your head spins and the urge to run away pulses in your legs.
“Uhh, touchy subject or what?” Soap snaps you out of the panic and you’re startled by his voice.
Or maybe it is that you can’t physically talk, seeing as how when you try, the urge to throw up is greater than the urge to say a simple word. You cover your mouth with a plump hand and shake your head vigorously. Maybe he’ll stop asking about it and you can happily stop trying to answer him.
“Okay...” He sounds unimpressed, like he doesn’t believe you.
In an attempt to change the subject you ask him a question next, choosing an equally invasive one at that. You point at his doll leg, and tilt your head.
Soap sighs, leaning against the bars of his enclosure, but he does answer, “I was bit by a bug and it got infected. End of story. Sorry to disappoint, it wasn't a cat attack or anything fun like that.”
Your eyes go wide, finding a new found fear of bugs. If any ended up in your cage you would simply pass away. Your body shivers the feelings out of you, and you point at his hair next. It's short now…
Soap scoffs, “Your owner is to thank for that. Thanks a fucking lot, Ashley!” He yells in a random direction, which is funny because Ashley isn’t even here. You cover your smile with your hands, knowing he wasn’t trying to be humorous even if it came off that way.
“Well? Got any more snacks?” He asks, “I’m stuck with these stupid dry pellets. Does she know that's not food? She’s trying to kill me in here.”
You doubt that Ashley is trying to kill him, since she promised you that you could keep him as a new friend. You’ll happily give him more snacks, especially if that’ll make him happy! You smile and nod, leaving him again for several minutes to go back to your food dish to scavenge.
You come back with an armful of finds, offering him a carrot slice, and some cheerios. You smile away at him as he gingerly takes them, finding him a lot less scary when he’s stuck in his enclosure. He can’t hurt you in there, and your dreams came true! You have a friend your own size now.
Soap asks you another question while breaking the cheerio into more manageable pieces. “Is your name really Hamster? Like, that's the name you were born with? I somehow doubt that…”
Your eyebrows crease, finding it odd how suspicious he is of you. His name is SOAP for heaven’s sake! You nod and shrug. Any name you had beforehand was just a placeholder. Hamster is your name now that's all that matters. You ask him the question back by pointing at him, hoping he’ll get the gist.
“My name?” He asks.
Oh good, he understood.
“Of course it's my real name. Soap Scrub. I was named that because I slept in a soap dish as a baby. You wouldn’t know, but it’s a traditional way of naming in our culture. Or maybe you would- Hamster because you live in a hamster cage.” Now he thinks he’s humorous and smirks at you.
You don’t get the joke, because it's true and makes sense. You just nod. It's cool learning about Tinies culture. You sit down criss-cross on the counter so you can listen to him more, resting your hands on your chin.
“Where did you even come from?” Soap’s question has underlining skepticism, and he rattles out a few options for you to say yes or no to. “Were you captured like me?”
You shake your head. Feeling kind of bad for him.
“Alright. I wouldn’t expect you to understand why I’m so pissed then,” he huffs. “Let's see. Born into the family? Ashley’s family I mean. Obviously.”
You shake your head again. Trying to picture Ashley as a little kid. Would she have been a kid when you were? You don’t know how old anyone is so you guess it doesn’t really matter.
“Bought at a… Pet store?” Soap lowers his voice, his shoulders squared with discomfort.
You suppose that's a good enough answer, even if the truth is warped a bit. You nod. You came from Ashley’s work at a pet facility!
“God…” Soap shifts uncomfortably and looks away from you for a minute. He seems drained from this question game. You’re not, however, and wave at him so you can ask him the same thing back. Pointing at him yet again with a hopeful smile.
“Where did I come from?” His voice is strained and he brushes back his lack of hair. “Somewhere normal. A normal family, a normal life, something you wouldn’t understand.”
He is trying to hurt your feelings. You just don’t understand why. You frown at him with a pouty lip.
“Don’t give me that. You’re clearly not locked up, so why do you stay with her? Are you scared of her? Now that you can see you don’t have to be stuck with her. I could… We could leave… Together if you wanted. If you help me out of here.”
He is trying to bait you, but his words hold a sort of desperation that struck a chord. You love Ashley. It would break her heart if you left her. You couldn’t. You shake your head in defiance and turn away from him. Maybe this conversation is over. You should go back to your cage and leave him alone.
Just as you get up and start to walk away he yells after you, “Wait! Please-“
Then his voice lowers “I… I’m sorry. Don’t leave. I wanted to ask a few more questions… About tonight.” It’s clear in his tone that he’s scared. Maybe you’re not scared of Ashley, but he is.
You give him another chance and walk back, waiting to hear him out.
“Do you think she’ll make me do the photoshoot with you?”
Ashley mentioned it before, so it makes sense that she would want to include him, but you’re not entirely sure if tonight is the night so you shrug. After all, the photoshoots slowed down when you had the cast on, and right now he’s covered in bandages. Still, you can’t promise anything.
“Have you ever refused to do it?” His eyes are testing. Hopefully he isnt thinking of trying his hand at saying no to her. Ashley isn’t as forgiving with him…
You have indeed refused to do them before, when you weren’t feeling well, but Ashley is always nice to you. You doubt the same results would show for Soap Scrub.
Tentatively you nod your head.
“And she let you?”
You nod your head.
His brows crease. “Do you even like doing them? She’s playing with you like a doll…”
You nod again after a pause at the strange retort. You love being a model! It’s so much fun, and beats being bored in your cage all day.
He’s nervous and you don’t blame him. Though you’re unsure how to ease his nerves, so you sit with him and answer any questions you’re able to until Ashley comes home. Its then you go back to your cage so she’s not worried when she comes in.
Ashley greets you and Soap when she comes into the kitchen, but otherwise leaves you alone until after dinner when its time for the photoshoot.
Miraculously, Ashley doesn’t force soap into the shoot. She only has him watch so he can see what they’re like and what to expect.
Its not for another week or two that she proposes the idea, and by then Soap has seemed to have accepted his position, from what you can tell. He’s less terrified over all, or hiding it better.

Day 8. Favourite whumper type
—
Besides Mad Scientists I would have to say any type of female whumper, which I don’t see quite as often as I would hope. If anyone has an fic recommendations pls drop them in this post!!
I have a few characters who fit the description which I can give a little summary here, cuz why not! 💅🏼💃🏻
Parra: Mad Scientist and a trans woman, an absolute BITCH of a person and also my first oc. She’s the boss of the facility, and takes control of everything.
Roajeh: A very young Mad Scientist, and also my first oc (parra and roajeh were made as a pair.) He is quite nervous considering he works for an evil lab and does unspeakable things to people…
Reese: Sadistic Mad Scientist who just loves to torture, and also sells organs on the black market, and also works at a pet facility sometimes. (He made an appearance in Hamster Story)
Ashley: Bubbly Pet Owner who runs a G/t fashion blog and uses her tiny pet human (Hamster) as a model for it. She also has three jobs, two of them are questionable.
Abby: Obsessed Stalker who doesn’t know how to take a hint, or a few, or blatant begging to be left alone. Also a serial killer.
Allias: She’s a dog trainer, or so thats what she tells everyone. Clarence is very familiar with her, as is a lot of pets who come from the pet facility.
Kat: I suppose she counts. Pet owner and slightly abusive mother, but it’s verging the morally grey area depending on how you view her. Ok yes, she counts but I love her im a Kat apologist.
