This is the third story from Sam. If he is to be believed, he has uncovered a horrifying
truth behind the Doll...
Sam here for a 3rd time.
This is bad and I mean REALLY BAD. He has...... gained ultimate power. I tried to find
a way to defeat him but its too risky and if I try I might end up destroying the world in
the process.
I found it out by looking at your site. It seems if the lost souls of his victims can be Re-
awakened his power will overload resulting in his death. The only way to re-awaken
them is to remove the ruby. Whatever the consequences I must try.
Wait... what was that? Shit he's found me this is my chance. I don't have much time
"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HH"
This is the end for you puny human. The day of reckoning has come now you
will all die.
"Shut up you piece of crap!"
Your death will be slow and painful Sam. Wait -- what are you doing?
"Ending you once and for all!"
Its futile human. I am the beginning and end of humanity.
"What?"
I am God. I created this world to feed on your life energy. I made you and I
will end you.
"No!"
This is to all you innocent readers. I'm coming for you, regardless of the
curse. I will destroy you 1 by 1 starting with this worm. You should see him:
paralysed with fear, unable to scream for help. It's both amusing and
pathetic. I'll tell you how I will kill him and the owner of this site. They will die
together in the same horrible way. Devoured slowly by me (I like the taste of
humans). I wont kill them. I'll let them drown in there own blood unable to
escape
IT WILL BE THE END FOR YOU ALL! YOU WILL FEEL THE SUNSHINE! IT BURNS!

This is an ominous observation Homsunami187...
This is more of a weird-but-true story of some possible TD run ins. When I go to your
site and read the tails- er- tales, sometimes i see images of TD's face or diamond
imprinted in the spaces in the text. Not a curse thingy, but pretty weird...

Remember Katlyn? She's back with even more tales of her search for the Tails Doll...
Hello there. It's me, Katlyn again, and I'm here to tell you all a little bit more about me
and my ongoing story. This story starts about three days before thanksgiving when I
was at Tekla's house.
Now at my high school we get a week off for thanksgiving. Cool, right? Wrong. With
nothing to do and no homework to occupy our tiny attention spans, we decide to figure
out why TD wouldn't come to us. It was just me, her and Yorick. So I pull out my
crapilly made ouija board. Crappy but still useful.
We donned the Wii with my copy of Sonic Gems and pulled up Sonic R's select
character screen. (No we really didn't think this out too much. At first we were just
gonna light some candles and try my crappy board, but decided having Sonic R would
be more appropriate)
Me and Tekla took seats on opposite sides of the board and put our first two fingers
on the magnifying glass. Then we called to him. And waited. And waited. And waited.
About a half an hour later, I said "My board's just too sucky to work T. I guess we'll
have to go buy a real one."
"Yea, K. It really is bad. I'm mean, the board is just a piece of paper with stuff written
on it," Tekla said.
"Well it worked when we summoned 'Bloody Mary' and scared Yorick half to death," I
replied, remembering the incident on Halloween. We laughed and left the room to grab
a snack.
When we came back, the room was dark. The screen was black and it cast an eerie
glow on my crappy board. I turned to Tekla and asked her, "Did you turn off the TV?"
She shook her head. I turned back to the crappy board and said breathlessly, "Me
neither."
Slowly we walked over to the board and sat down in our original seats. We looked
down at the pointer. It was moving, repeating the same letters. Finally I figured it out.
It was saying, "Check the bedrooms". I looked up at Tekla but she had already figured
it out. "Yorick!" we whispered together. He had gone up stairs to watch youtube.
We ran up the stairs to check on him. He was slumped over his chair. On the
computer screen was a vid of the Tails Doll playing his familiar tune of "Can you Feel
the Sunshine?" I walked over and poked Yorick on his back. He didn't even move so
we ran into Tekla's room.
I closed the door and locked it as she picked up her cellphone to call the 911. As she
called 911 and talked to the operator, I sat against the door, silent as ever. I was
confused. I was so happy that TD had finally decided to show up, but why did he
attack Yorick? He didn't know about the curse...
Or at least I thought so. I cracked the door to look into his dark room and saw
something move in the blackness. Too scared to say anything, I watched as the blob
moved from corner to corner and approached the room we were taking cover in. I felt
a hot breath on my neck. It was Tekla. We both watched as the blob overcame us
and then, I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was in the hospital. My mom was in the chair next to me, asleep
and Tekla was awake in the cot next to mine. Her mom was also asleep. We both sat
up and I asked, "What are they saying happened?"
"We intercepted a robbery/attempted murder. Yorick's alright. They called us heroes,
K."
I grinned at the irony and said, "If they only knew the extent of what we've done!"
"We! You're the one who tagged Sonic with him eight times!"
"Well sorry, T! You were the one who told me to make him come out!"
"Nuh-uh. I only said he was cool."
"Your lying."
"I know," she replied and then we both lied down in our hospital beds.
We were discharged on Thanksgiving, but Yorick had severe brain damage. So bad
the poor boy stopped talking.
I have to go now... My master's calling me. But I will be back later to finish my story....
And one last thing, "Can you Feel the Sunshine?"
___________________________________________________________________
This comes form someone "Serotonin Life." How cool is that?!
One day I went to my best friend's house. We planned to perform the curse. We
beat it and unlocked everything. We were trying to preform the curse for about an
hour then finally we preformed the curse. Nothing happened. Then a couple of
weeks later, my friend came over we both had to sleep in my bed. We got onto the
topic of the Tails Doll that night and I started to insult him. We saw something black
move on the ceiling!
We turned on the lights, creeped out. Getting back into my bed, we talked about it
some more and I kept insulting the TD. Then I asked were my Tails plushy was. We
turned on the lights. It was under a bunch of stuff. I ripped its tails, legs, and arms off.
Then I ripped off its head. If it were not for my dog, Oreo we wouldn't have ripped it.
My friend grabbed my Shadow plushy, and I grabbed my Amy plushy and we kept
complementing them so if TD was in my room they'd save us. I went under the blanket
and closed my eyes. When I opened them, I saw the colors of radiant emerald
flashing on my ceiling. We were up all night, freaked out. Then a couple months later
-- October, the day of Halloween -- my class heard wind that didn't sound like normal
wind. Then a light switch blew up and the sparks flew kinda close to me. Was TD
was trying to get me? It's too much of a coincidence...

This is a brief warning from Amanda...
I would like to begin this true story off with a rumor. There was a rumor that if you
worry about the Tails Doll too much, it tells you that he's going to come after YOU. So
please, dont scream, dont shout, if you do, he'll make sure that hes gonna get to you
first. Just...stay...calm...ohhh...hes here. runnn...save your selfs...noooo
*schumpy*

What's a Tails Dog? I don't know, but he's sending us this little tale...
We all have a tale to tell. Here is mine.
I was a big Sonic fan until recently. Then it happened. The end. I was playing on
Resident Evil 2 one night when I noticed something was wrong. It was all too easy! I
got to the final fight with William Birkin and killed him. When the credits rolled down, I
pressed X to skip them (as usual) And in blood it said "You Have unlocked Scenario
C." What the hell! There was no scenario C! I started playing and quickly completed
it. At that moment The doll appeared in the game. It attacked Leon and killed him in
one hit. The words "You have Been Owned by the Tails Doll" appeared on screen.
This creeped me out so I turned the TV off.
Later that day I was reading a book and the doll appeared in front of me. "What do
you want?" I asked him/It.
"YoUr SoUl." The doll replied, in a flat tone.
I Shuddered. "Why?" I asked.
"I fEeD oN hUmAn EmOtIoN...It SaTiSfys Me..."
"Why Me?"
"YoU sUmMoNeD mE..."
"So?"
"YoU fEel CoNtEmPt FoR tHe OtHeR HuMaNs...ThAt Is GoOd..."
"So what if i had wanted to kill everyone in my school! I'm over that!"
At that moment the Doll looked into my eyes. I felt woozy, then everything went black.
When I woke up I was lying on the ground, with a gold collar fastened around my neck.
I tried to speak, but all that came out was a deep growling. My vision came into focus. I
was in some sort of Ancient temple, way out in space. My collar had a glowing red
jewel on it. The tails doll was sitting on an ancient throne. In his hand he had a Leash.
It was fastened to my Collar. I now live as the Doll's pet, Plushy Fur covering my body.
Alas, I cannot speak, Yet i retain some of my Human Intelligence (I.E. Typing,
Reading,) and Master trains me daily. I understand the commands Kill, Maul,
Eviscerate and Fetch. Still, it's not that bad. I get fed human flesh three times a day!

Barbara gives us an interesting theory into the creation of the Tails Doll...
1000 years ago, there lived a very powerful, and equally evil necromancer. The sound
of his name would make even the toughest of men quake in fear. One day, the
necromancer decided that he must pass the torch.
He used a discarded plushie that was thrown away by a little boy. He stitched it with all
of his evil and stuffed it with all of his hate. Then, he took a shard from his jeweled
staff, and attached it to the doll. Afterwards, he did the horrible mistake of bringing the
doll to life. The doll was in no way loyal. He killed the necromancer and stole his soul.
He has had that same craving since. Upon stealing his soul, he gained immortality.
Now, his soul purpose is to kill the thousand-year descendant of the child who threw
him away.
And that descendant, is Yuji Naka.

Andrea sends us this musical malediction...
I was testing the "If you sing the lyrics of living in the city back words while locked in a
lightless bathroom myth" when it happened.
My ankles started to hurt. I felt a cold breath on my neck. A faint out lining of some
kind of fox doll could be seen in the mirror -- a diamond shape flouting above it,
glowing red. It was behind me. You could only see the head, jewel, and hands. I
couldn't move. I thought I was going to die. Then "Can you feel the sunshine? Does it
brighten up your day?" The song was coming from the computer in the next room. But
I paused the song before I came in to the bathroom. I looked back at the mirror.
The doll was gone, but writing replaced it. "The Tails doll's after you." I read. I could
barely breath. The words vanished, and then the words "Can you feel the sunshine?"
replaced the old ones.
They faded, and I ran.
____________________________________________________________________
Not all of the so-called "Pure Souls," are made of light and love -- Like our friend Chris
here. He "Loves Death."
Ah, how I love the idea of a curse being real. And even more, I love pushing them to
their limits. Such as the Shrine God’s curse, which turned out to be a few parasitic
bugs, or the curse of George Bush, who turned about to be a sneaky little bastard.
Then there is the Curse of the Tails Doll. Absolutely juicy. A doll coming out of a video
game.
Your site is so intriguing, you know. It provided me with the means of testing the
curse's existence. Exist doesn't even tell the half of it. Not only does he exist, but he
can make you non-existent at will. He can kill you, set your life span, or cause life. He
hates the life part, but to him, it was an accident. Then again, a mistake could give him
his greatest power.
You see, he calls me a purest soul. Like that Sam and that Celebaby, I am a purest
soul, according to him. Unlike them, my form of happiness is brought about by death. I
love death. The very idea of death just fills me with joy. So much, that I decided to test
this curse and become the very entity that is death.
You can thank Higurashi no Naku Koro ni for my love of death.
So I did all the necessary things to unleash the curse. But I did both of them, to make
sure the curse was fully unleashed. Miyamoto’s stupid shield meant very little to his
unleashing, as I caught Super Sonic with ease.
So at last the Curse was unleashed. You can tell by now that I’m not the most correct
in the head. In fact, you could say I was crazy.
The Curse was great.
The Power went out. My door shut itself and locked itself. Then the Doll glided out of
my TV
The Tails Doll regarded me with those soulless stone eyes of his, the same ones
everyone fears. Then he announced, “Another purest soul, and so quickly. I knew
Celebaby was a fool, but you… you’re so stupid t-”
“Stupid?” I blurted. “Fool, I’ve been forcing you loose for a while now. I’m practically
willing to be your servant.”
“Sadly for you, you’re a Purest Soul. So instead you get to be another to my
collection.”
I let a silly grin spread across my face, “Freedom is fun.”
My room became engulfed in darkness for a moment- or perhaps I went to sleep. I
haven’t decided yet.
The Darkness lifted, and I found myself in a replica of my room. Computer, Desk, Bed,
everything. It was all there. I knew that I was only in a replica, because this had
happened to Celebaby.
“I do have a question. I’ve read that you can read minds and the like, but how can you
say I am a purest soul?” I asked.
“Simple. Your love for death gives you joy. The very idea that you’d kill yourself to
become death’s physical entity makes you pure,” He leaned in toward me, “What you
don’t seem to realize is that you’d kill yourself to become me.”
“Delightful!” I said with another grin.
Now I reside in this little spot. I don’t have to be disturbed ever again. I am given food
at my request. Not by the Tails Doll himself, but when I ask for it, it comes. I can sleep
and not be bothered at all. Celebaby and Sam are appalled at how I can cope with this
so easily.
“Death is my friend. I prefer the bloody death too. It makes me warm inside."

Mosolo is another slave of the doll, albeit a disturbingly willing one...
My master WILL find you.
I am a slave of the Master, and he is merciful. He granted all my wishes, and he can
grant all yours too. All that needs to be done is to submit to his will. This is my story.
I was a normal 15-year-old computer whiz. I messed around, and stumbled on the
Tails Doll curse. I clicked and read, and thought it was the biggest load of bunk I had
ever read. But then my friend, who I had known for 12 years, was found...dead. In his
room. With the words “Can You Feel The Sunshine” etched on his chest. Then, I
knew the curse was real. And I felt an elation. I knew that now I could have a meaning
in my life. So I downloaded Sonic R of the Internet. And beat it 100%.
That night, the screen flickered and became a red dot. A gem, if you will. I stood back
as the lights went out, then back on as he appeared in front of me. He was greeted
with something he had never seen…a smile.
“Hello…Master,” I said to him.
“Master? ...No one ever submits this quickly. Who are you?”
“My friend was a victim of yours. Kenneth.”
“Ah yes, his soul was...delectable.”
“I was hooked then. I read all about your...acts. And I’m impressed. My life, you see
has no meaning. I must have...a purpose. So I want to join your army.”
The doll blankly stared, then nodded. He flew into my body, and I disappeared. Now, I
am part of his army, a slave to his will. Hear this, fools, he WILL find the owner of the
site. It’s only a matter of time.
When you see a man with long black hair and glowing red eyes, you will know your
time has come.
You will all...
Feel the sunshine.

Katlyn sends us this one. Looks like the Doll has really screwed with her. Alas, poor
Yorick; she knew him well...
When Yorick got Sonic Gems, I have to admit, I didn't know a lick about TD. And he
probably didn't know one thing about me. But when all three of us played it, I must
admit, I found it amusing. It was great. Tails was in it and unlockables... It was great for
an old game! But then Yorick said, "Do you know about the Tails Doll?" Tails? Had a
robot counterpart? EXCELENT!
So I researched him and came on your website. I'll admit, I was scared, at first. Then I
was fascinated. I borrowed the game for two weeks. More than long enough, I
thought, to unlock TD. So I beat the game. I unlocked him and then tagged Sonic.
Again. And Again. WhY wOuLdN't He CoMe?!?!?! Then I got bored. And then I had to
give the game back. I was sooo sad! I mean, you think he'd come to at least confront
me. Me! His biggest er... fan? What ever. Any way. I kinda gave up on him.
About a month later. I found Sonic Gems in Walmart. I had never seen it before there.
It was like it was waiting for me. I had to get it. So I begged my mom to buy it for me.
That night the strange things started happening to me and Tekla. At first we thought it
was a coincidence, but as the events got stranger and weirder we had to admit, some
of them were beyond rational explanation.
The dreams were too real, the sounds too out of place, the pictures... It was just
wrong. We figured there was a cycle where he would haunt each of us for a period of
time until he would show himself to us. He's too smart for that. If he has a pattern, it is
strange and irregular. But I do know he's starting back up again.
He wants us... He wants me. He wants us to be friends. Friends forever. And I, I can
feel the sunshine...

Gelert111 asks us a sad question, to which the answer is tragically yes.
It all started two days ago, I took an interest in the tails doll and its videos. I laughed at
a lot of them, However I figured out the tails doll is no laughing matter. It was about
11:00 at night, so I decided to brush my teeth again before I went to bed. As I walked
into the dark bathroom, I felt like something was watching me. Unable to control
myself, I looked into the mirror and I saw a red light! I felt frozen, I couldn't scream. It
started to get closer, and closer, until I was finally able to run! I ran out of the
bathroom and tried to explain to my mom but she thought I was sleep walking.
Ever since yesterday, I've felt a cold chill following me. I wore a heavy jacket to school,
but people thought I was nuts. In seventh period, we were using the computers. All of
a sudden, I felt frozen again! I couldn't move. I crept my eyes up to the screen to see a
faded image of the tails doll! I tried to ignore it, but as I type this I still feel like
something's watching me. The weirdest thing that has happened yet is my sudden
obsession with the song 'Can You Feel The Sunshine.' I absolutely hate The song yet
I can't stop listening to it. I've even put it on my Myspace, and I'm listening to it right
now!
Have I become a slave of the tails doll?

This tiny testament comes from AmAm.
Well I think the stories on this site is true, cause ever since I heard this and moved to
where I am. I am seing things where there is light but I am seeing black objects out of
nowhere. Then when I look back it's gone. It looks like THE TAILS DOLL!!!!!!!!!!! As in
the one from Sonic R.
____________________________________________________________________
Of course all these Tails contain a grain of truth, but some more then others.
Kyasarin's is a true as they come....
Though maybe unrelated, and probably meaningless, this is indeed the truest story
you'll find on this site.
For some time, I had come to this website, and even I had been spooked a few times
by the stories that everyone had come up with. Few times did I actually shiver and turn
in early for the night only to take countless looks around the room. Regardless, I had
continued.
About a month or two ago, I put up a request for someone to make me a doll. I had
offered four reference shots for each side, and offered to negotiate a price. Yes, this
doll I had wanted manufactured was the Tails Doll.
I had wanted it for a costume of mine for a convention. I had planned to dress up like
one of those half-dead Lolita girls with the Tails Doll in my arms to look as menacing
as I ever have. I believed that any Sonic fan there would want a picture, remember me
and maybe even post a story inspired by my act.
Alas, time had passed, and the convention grew closer. No one had taken up the
request. Perhaps they had instinctively turned away, knowing the evil that this doll
would possess, even as a fake? Whatever the case, I had mentioned this not only to
the webmaster, but also my friends. Eventually, one of my friends had offered to make
the doll for me. After thanking him, he got to work on it.
Merely a few days before the convention, he sent the doll to me, spending much extra
to have it shipped in one day. When I finally had the box on my doorstep, and on my
lap, I believed things were finally going to go right for this convention.
The doll, although made lovingly, was of course not quite what I had expected. It did
not have the fluffy head that I remembered the terror having, nor the swaying double
tails. Being that my friend lacked the proper equipment to make it top-notch, it wasn't
exactly immaculate. But still, it was without a doubt the Tails Doll, with those dotted
eyes and the red ball on the top of it's head. I had been warned of it's instability, so I
had placed it upon my top shelf to keep it safe from the felines until I had taken off for
the convention.
The night upon receiving this doll, I had a terrible nightmare. This nightmare seemed
to be unrelated to the Tails Doll; instead, in this nightmare, I myself was abusing a cat
to near death. The next day, I couldn't even look at my two felines of which I held dear.
The rest of the week, nightmares haunted my sleep, though surprisingly, none were of
the Tails Doll. The nights I didn't dream at all were the only times I could rest easily.
And on top of this nightmare, my male kitten had also seemed to have fallen ill, though
the vet had said it was merely allergies. (This seems to be true, as many other pets
have been brought in with the same problem-- but I'm betting on thecurse more than
anything.)
When the convention came, it was a disaster. Absolutely nothing went right, such as
guests deciding not to show up; panels being hours late or canceled; even most of the
attendants and volunteers were in bad moods from day one. I wasn't to take the doll
with me until the second and third day, so the doll had stayed in the hotel room. When
it came time for me to take it with me, I found that the two tails had fallen off, and I had
decided not to take it. Perhaps this was a mistake, or the best decision I could make,
as that day had gone terribly as well aside from the events that the attendants
themselves had made. But yet again, nightmares were all that I knew at night.
We decided not to attend the third day, seeing how badly the convention was going. I
stayed home to take care of my ill kitten as well, yet things still weren't going right.
Every night from then has been filled with nightmares as well, and the one that
spooked me the most was one I had just two nights ago. I won't go into large detail, but
at the end, there was a battered man attacking piano keys who looked at me with
soulless eyes, much like the demon doll, almost as if saying "You're next." Strangely,
when I woke up barely breathing, I still heard that piano.
Even last night, I'd been haunted by nightmares, making me wake up many times
only to struggle back to sleep. Finally at 7am, I was able to sleep without dreams or
nightmares.
Whether this misfortune that seems almost unrelated is due to me owning that replica
of the demon or not, I felt the need to report it. There has been no mention of
"sunshine" thus far, but perhaps it is still related in some way.
But just those couple days ago, as I started making preparations to sew the tails back
onto the doll for future conventions, I tiredly wrote the last line in my journal for that
day:
"I just can't seem to feel the sunshine lately..."
-Kyasarin

This story comes from Ryuku, the poor guy....
This is the Tale of a boy. A boy, Who loved Tails, more than life.
This boy, The kid who loved Tails, just HAD to see if the Tails Doll was real. He
thought it looked so cuddly. So, even though he knew it would mean the end of him,
He learned how to use the Tails Doll as a lethal racing stuffed animal. He unlocked
The Tails Doll, the first chance he could. He did this, with Tails. This was the first sign
of trouble, but he ignored it. Once he unlocked the Tails Doll, he went to unlock Metal
knuckles, but when he went to choose a racer, Tails was replaced with the Tails Doll.
But the Tails Doll was in HIS Correct place, as well.
Being a lover of all things tails, he thought this was just a small glitch. Nevertheless,
he chose the Tails Doll that replaced Tails. When he unlocked the robots and the
Chaos emeralds, both of the Tails Dolls started to glow. He went to play the Radical
Emerald with the originally unlocked Tails Doll. This Tails Doll was fast. Really fast. So
fast, his computer crashed but even though his computer wouldn't respond, The Tails
Doll did.
He turned toward the screen, and flew out of it. The boy dove -- No, more like fell --
then scrambled out of the way. He managed to squeeze under his bed, but the Tails
Doll had already seen him. The Tails Doll, with super plushie strength, tossed the bed
aside. With a spring from the bed, he cut the boy's throat. The last thing the boy saw
was the Tails Doll grinning at him.
The boy's sister had heard the bed hit the wall and came running in. The Tails Doll
was ready for her. It had another bed spring. It forced it over her head, crushing the
skull, and onto her neck. Letting the spring release, it ripped her neck, barely leaving
her head hanging on. The Tails doll escaped into the city.
Half an hour later, The police and paramedics showed up. They managed to save the
boy, But not his sister. The boy's parents were out of town, so when they heard the
news They were devastated. The police report was as follows:
October 31'st, 2005.
In the Ismadi house, a young girl, named Gina was killed -- brutally murdered with a
bed spring. It, Was apparently forced over her head and onto her neck.
A boy, Ryuku, was almost killed by a bed spring, as well. His throat was cut by the
spring. The paramedics luckily managed to revive him. We believe it to be a botched
robbery. The rest of the report shall be filed after the investigation.

Masterweaver sends us another tales from the keepers of continuity, the Craids...
I am Masterweaver. I am a Criad. But today’s story is not mine. Today’s story was
wheezed to me by the dying gasps of a Tails Doll slave.
There was a little girl. What her name or her looks were like are unimportant, at least
for this tale. She was playing in the backyard, in the wraparound part by the side of
the house. She looked up. Hovering, not noticing her, an orange doll of a two-tailed fox
approached. She was not the least bit frightened; she had read fairy-tales, and weird
things always happened in them. So she spoke up.
“Hello. Will you be my friend?”
The thing paused, pivoting to face her. It had strangely vacant eyes and a single
antennae ending in a red gem.
There was a quiet moment as they contemplated each other.
“You offer to befriend me…willingly?”
The voice sounded wrong, but it would be rude to say so. “Yes. You see, everybody
thinks I’m weird because I hate pink even though I’m a girl.”
“Have you heard of… Sonic the Hedgehog?” An instinctive shudder rippled its body.
“No. Who’s he?”
The thing was silent.
“Well?”
The thing lifted a hand as if to rip her heart out, but stopped. She looked on
innocently.
“You offer to befriend me…Why?”
“Everyone needs a friend!”
From across the street, a tune from a video game floated.
“Can you feel the sunshine…”
At this point, the slave of the Tails Doll died. But before he did, he whispered an
address. I will not tell you what it is. I will only tell you what I found in that basement.
There was a transparent canister, filled with liquid and…another thing. What was once
warm, soft skin has become cold, but equally soft plush. The ears have grown long,
but the hair has fallen out. The hands are now spheres, and strange markings
decorate the face. A single antennae, ending in a blue gem, extends from the
forehead.
I draw my own conclusions.

Austin is back with a slightly eerie addition to her previous tale...
It's Austin again. After I showed you that story, my baby brother started growling and
saying, "DieDieDie". Plus, I was whatching this show about video game history, and
when it showed a dragon breathing fire, I thought I saw a gem thing in his fire. AND,
my brother was saying something like "Das Daw", which sounded a lot like "Tails Doll".
___________________________________________________________________
Chan, sends us this strange tale. Poor girl seems to have a connection or something
to the Tails Doll. Can she really be bound to this demon made of felt?
It all started with a site . . . This site.
But I do not blame the owners -- the tales warned me. I, however, do not stop when
someone tells me too. I do it, at my own accord. I'm don't heeding any warnings.
Back when I was clueless, I didn't know of the Tails Doll, and didn't know of the curses
people suffered. I didn't know, I just raced. I raced fast, and well, but never bothered to
try to find ways to unlock characters and special stages. I just enjoyed the game.
Sounds silly, especially now.
Well, I was a very large fan of the blue blur himself, Sonic the Hedgehog, then. Great,
great fan, though I didn't bother to collect the coins. As earlier, I just enjoy it as it
comes.
Well, I found millions of things on the web. Specifically Sonic stuff, sites, and freebies. I
joined forums (although, a little too many. ^^;;). I customized profiles and even had
several personal attempts, at a Sonic site.
One time I came across a link to this specific part of this site. The Sonic R curse, curse
of the Tails Doll, etc... That's what the description said.
I was surprised. Being naive, and sorta clueless at the time, I thought, "Hmm? Tails
Doll, Sonic R, secret character, curse? Interesting ," and clicked.
I was greeted with the older layout -- a giant picture of the Sonic (R) crew (with Sonic
R styled pictures) for a banner. Red and white text, and a long -- but very, shall I say,
interesting -- poem-ish introduction to the Tails Doll, and the curse of his haunts.
Stories - spooky ones - from different people, all the way down. I read them all, every
time I finished one, an amazing chill ran down my spine. The chill was one full of both,
excitement and fear. I adored the stories, believed in the curse, and loved the cute,
furry look about the Tails Doll. I also feared it. Every shiver I will ever have again will
be centered around the Tails Doll. Every jaw-drop, every tremble and sputter.
I finished the game finally. Every thought about every story whizzed through my mind
like a bee buzzing from flower to flower.
I had Gems.
I played.
But I did nothing.
But like some people, would it still come? Come to me? Come to get me? Would I hear
the dreaded 'schlumpy' and 'slurrpy' sounds? I was filled with wonder, and many
questions.
What if it's real?
I continued searching, looking at stories. Youtube, forums, sites, everything. I found
the same things, and many other things, too. Eye-ball eating, odd cures, escapes,
bloody murder, etc.
By now, I was freaked out, but life moves on. I stayed away, until one day, I was at my
Dad's, craving some Sonic R . The computer was on, as was the Google Search
Engine. I went there. I worked for a while on the curse, then gave it up.
However, I obtained . . .
Tails Doll.
And I'll tell you what . . .
Nothing happened.
A long while later, I completed the game, in every way. Still, nothing happened.
Not so much as a blackout, but I felt something. Not breathing.
I felt a 'presence'. A cold, black presence by my side. I could see it, though only with
my mind. It was there, I could see the image, the details, and the picture. It was
hovering. No one else could see it though. It was a blank spot.
But it was there.
I would not be affected, and it could not (or maybe wouldn't want to) hurt me. I just
stared, cold, limb, amazed. I've been able to sense it all the time, now. It edges me
towards the curse, and I follow - not blindly, but rather out of curiosity.
Ever sense, I could also tell if someone was mean or nice. Where spirits were, and
almost see them and what they did. It's so odd, so creepy. I hate it, and I love it all the
same.
I don't now what gave me the power. If it was birth, the Tails Doll, or whatever could
give one some odd powers.
Who knows?
Maybe Super Sonic has blessed me . . .
Because, now, when I try the curse to get the Tails Doll out, to ask it questions, to find
out meanings . . . He won't stop. He turns, swerves, and jumps away; I never catch
him. But I'm faster, stronger, I have more stamina, and I'm braver.
You know how I know? You know how you know?
I keep trying for the curse.
Wish me luck . . .

This particular tale comes from Spiff. Well, it's not a "tale" so much as it is a ceepy-
but-true story.
This is not a story but rather something creepy I wanted to tell you about. After seeing
your site, which is awesome by the way, I went to eBay to find a copy of Sonic R for
the computer so I could play it, and I came across a copy that had a "Buy It Now" of 1
cent and free shipping. I bought it and I have completed all of it but except the last
race against Super Sonic and the other robots. But I just cant stop thinking about that
seller on eBay. He was creepy and all the related sales were Tails plushies. No,
nothing like the Tails Doll. I mean like plush versions of Tails from Sonic X. Even
more so, the guy shipped over night and that would mean he lost a lot of money!
Not only that, but I have noticed in the game when unlocking the Tails Doll... He back
tracks a lot and sometimes stops on purpose. I swear I'm not even kidding and its
creepy o-o.
Ok that's all I wanted to tell you, but I am seriously not making any of that stuff up. I
just thought you would get a kick out of the irony of it.
Sincerely, Spiff

I just got a message from Cronic. No, not the drug. But according to this chap, it's
only the beginning of his tale. I wonder where he's going with this?
I was the first person in my street to get Sonic R, I played it day and night. My name?
Just call me Cronic for now. My favourite character to use was strangely the Tails doll!
Though I never had a run in with the so-called “curse,” until one late Sunday night, I
was completing Sonic R for the fifth time, when suddenly the game froze. It had never
done that before.
“What the?” I said.
I tried everything to get the game going again, and I mean everything. It was still
frozen, so I went to bed. It was 11 o’clock at night you see. I drifted off to sleep, but I
kept having horrible nightmares of me killing people, taking their souls. I woke up
when my mum came into the dream.
I got out of bed and looked out at the moon from my window.
"Man, I wish I could play Sonic R," I thought.
I got up and went down stairs to get a glass of water. When I was drinking, I saw two
large round eyes, like the Tails Doll’s.
I spat out the water and ran to the living room to look in the mirror. Everything was
normal, so I decided that to see if Sonic R was working. It was, so I started playing the
same race as when it had frozen. I was about to win when, guess what? It froze again!
But strangely with a picture of Tails doll FACING the screen, staring.
Then suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my hand. I looked at it. I did not believe my
eyes: my hand had stitches coming out from underneath the skin! My skin turned to
cloth - ORANGE cloth - I tried to go get help, but my legs wouldn’t reach the floor. I
was floating. I felt my head and discovered a red gem was on top of my head. I
practically went insane, from just seeing my reflection in the mirror………
I HAD BECOME THE TAILS DOLL……………………..

Oh, Rosiepower! She sent us this little tale, where she learned a bit too late that the
Tails Doll is no joking matter.
We thought it was just a big joke. A doll that eats souls and kills people? Yeah, right.
That was before 'it' happened.
Me and Rachel, my friend, thought it would be funny if we scared our friends into
thinking we wee servants of the doll, so we drew 'TD' on the back of our hands. I
added a bit of art to it, and drew blood drops on the letters. It worked and our friends
were really scared. We even set our ring tones to 'can you feel the sunshine' and
pulled pranks on everyone.
That was a BIG mistake.
One night, I slept over at Rachel's house, and we were discussing what our new prank
would be. I started playing Sonic R, and having completed the game, played as the
Tails Doll. Then we started mucking about yelling 'O great and powerful doll, what
should we do next?' Laughter turned into shock as the Tails Doll on the screen looked
at us and spoke.
"Pathetic mortals! If you wish so badly to be my servants then so be it!"
The mark of 'TD' then flashed on our hands and in an instant, became embedded into
our skin.
Everyday now we must find at least 6 souls for Master to feed on. Everyday we must
hide our mark and pretend 'He' doesn't exist. It is hard but we will cope.
'He' has told me to tell you this, but I have written it in story form so that the horrific
truth may stay a secret and prevent the pure-souled mortals from a gruesome and
bloody death, which would normally be inevitable if you don't believe.
Believe. For it might just save you.
It could have saved me...

Austin sends us this creepy query. My guess is that the answer is "yes."
Hello. Call me Austin. I think the Tails Doll might be cursing me. It all started a few days
ago. My friend ( that "Jordstarrun" dude) showed me your site. I thought it was pathetic
mish-mash. But then the two days later (today) I was woken up by my alarm clock.
Yet I went back to sleep. When I woke up it was almost 2 hours later. My Grandma told
me that my baby brother Aiden had a warm head and was throwing up A LOT. So after
school I come home emailing this to you. Could the Tails Doll be cursing me by
attacking my loved ones? I will keep you updated on this.
____________________________________________________________________
Poor Celebaby. She's now in clutches of the Tails Doll, and it looks like she's one of
the seven purest souls!
Hey, it's CeleBaby again. This time, I actually encountered him. Well, more like I'm held
captive by him.
Ever since the New Years caper, I've been searching bit by bit on him, but I decided to
give up and settle down for my final year of school.
It's been a bit depressing lately. Being back in school, had to break up with my
boyfriend and I only have a handful of friends left, one of which doesn't even listen to
me when I talk. I've really turned a lot to my Gamecube as being my salvation. Getting
home and booting it up just makes me grin again.
So lately I've been having so much fun playing with Chao on SA2B. If you've seen me
on the forums, you'll know that's true, with the pictures of my Chao.
Anyway, I got a bit bored doing the same missions over and over, so I decided to do
some old school. It's too bad I chose Sonic Gems over Sonic Mega Collection...
I selected Sonic R, but the usual loading screen didn't show.
Instead, my lamp flickered out and my TV went black.
I thought to myself, "Aw hell, a blackout." But I was wrong. Just before I could call to my
mom, an image appeared in the middle of my TV.
None other then the doll!
My heart began to pound, but he didn't come out or anything. He just bobbled up and
down. The words he spoke felt like they weren't even of this world.
"Found you."
I narrowed my eyes. "What do you mean 'Found me'?"
"Just what it sounds like. You're one of the seven purest souls I've been looking for."
Seven purest souls? Wasn't that what that guy Sam had mentioned in the stories? So
apparently I'm one of them?"
"Even through your depression, you still find ways to be positive. You're a mark of the
pure soul of wisdom. Now you are mine!"
"Forget it," I snapped. I wasn't about to sacrifice myself to a monster.
Little did I know the Tails Doll LOVES blackmail.
"So you won't help me, hm? Perhaps you need convincing...Bert! Show her our recent
victim!"
"Master Silver??" I shrieked. Indeed, the Neo Metal Sonic look alike appeared next to
the Tails Doll. And he was holding someone unconscious...
"God, no...why him, of everyone in the world...??" I screamed at my TV.
"Sorry CeleBaby..." Master Silver mumbled.
In Master Silver's clutches was my close friend, nicknamed Zeko. He and I were both
betrayed by my ex best friend and we had both grown especially close to the point of a
crush. But now...
I growled at the thought of someone very close to me in trouble because of me and
what's in me.
"What do you want of me, Tails Doll?"
"For now, I just want you to come to my lair. I don't have any use for just one or two of
the purest souls. I need all seven to unleash the true power..." Tails Doll's voice faded.
I hesitated. I still had so much to live for in this lifetime.
"Do it or he dies."
I looked up, furiously. "You'll set him free, if I come with you, right? No backstabbing?
Just set him free right now, and I'll..." I bit my tongue. "I'll go with you."
"Good girl." With that, Master Silver set Zeko down and he faded from view. I closed
my eyes and I felt myself being transferred.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a room that resembled my own, with the same
posters, stuffed animals and plushies, even the same Gamecube and games. I
opened the door and I saw dark hallways.
It's not too bad, but it's incredibly lonely here. Sure Master Silver and I are here and
we're friends, but I miss my mom and my other friends. I still get to go on the web with
the help of MS, but I can't use MSN, because I'm afraid of showing Tails Doll more
victims or use for blackmail.
Sometimes, I'm even stuffed in another room with that guy, Sam, who told everyone
about the seven purest souls. Tails Doll keeps trying to figure out how to use our
souls for his own power.
I don't know what will happen, but with the help of MS, I'll keep you updated.
~CeleBaby

Remember Bert? Well the Tails Doll does as well...
'Tis I, Bert again!
My apologies for what the Tails Doll said earlier. I should've shut off the internet
connection from the suit.
Anyways, the Doll recently said I was useless to him and got rid of me. I'm still alive,
just in the suit. Pretty scary looking, too. Gets me out of tests and assignments at
school.
On a related note, you should not be happy if the Doll gets rid of you. Your life will get
worse. Just because he has no use for you doesn't mean he won't haunt you.
I was playing my Pokemon Emerald version which I had sharked ("sharking" is a
reference to using a cheating device called a Gameshark to hack games. Go figure...)
so every time I held down R+A my Pokemon would gain 5000 experience points (it's
OVER FIVE THOUSAAAND!). However, when my Pokemon grew to the next level
(Level 68), it said "Tails Doll grew to level 666!". This really freaked me out. Tails Doll?
666!? What the--
I quit playing and watched TV. A new episode of Corner Gas was on. The program
info said the episode was number 666 and that the special guest was the Tails Doll. I
decided to watch the full episode, and the Tails Doll was nowhere to be found - not
even a cameo. Trust me, it wouldn't be THAT hard to spot the most evil thing on the
planet.
I still find references to 666 and the Tails Doll in contexts like computers, radio
stations, etc. So, if the Tails Doll has gotten rid of you, be afraid. Be very afraid.

This is new: A Tails Doll limerick, courtesy of Supercomputer276. Hopefully this
catchy little tune will help remind kids of the doom that awaits the players of Sonic R.
"We once knew this young kid named Fred
Who was usually right in the head
But he once went too far
Into Sonic R
And the next that we know he is dead."

Uh, oh! IPb0mb3r sends us this warning about the site. Have I doomed us all?
Please believe me! I loved your tales doll site and i know that people send in these
stories for fun, but something is wrong. Listen to this:
I was sitting in my dad's car, while he was in the apartment complex. I was totally
freaked out about the Tails Dolls stories. So, I'm sitting there trying to imagine what
that "schlummmpy" sound that kept getting described would be. (I have never seen let
alone played Sonic R) Either way, I suddenly hear a noise from behind me. It's hard to
describe it, but the best way I can thing of would be... "schlummmpy."
I looked in the car mirror and saw a red diamond-thing in the back seat. I turned
around, but the seat was empty.
I swear to God this is real! This is not one of the story that are normally uploaded. I
think it has something to do with your site, as if the Tails Doll is trying to get anyone
who wrote or read fan fic about it. SO PLEASE TAKE DOWN YOUR SITE! FOR
PEOPLE'S SAFETY. If you must upload this use my username IPb0mb3r. JUST TAKE
IT DOWN!

Kitty comes back to us, with yet another encounter....
One day after playing Sonic R, I watched "Cats and Dogs." But, the title was changed
to: "Tails Dolls and Humans." Wierd, huh? So I skipped the movie to when Mr. Tinkles
tells his cats to open the hatch to let mice out. But, instead he said: "You played his
game, and now he will play you." I stared at the screen. That definitly wasn't the
original line! A chill ran up my spine. After a few more lines of dialogue, Tinkles
said: "I'll give you your reward: Eternal life, though eternal death." I turned off the TV,
saying THIS MOVIE SUCKS!
As I left the room, I thought I saw the lifeless image of the Tails Doll on the TV screen.
I haven't watched the movie since.
___________________________________________________________________
Do you remember Shadow 6000? He's sending us more undercover info on the Tails
Doll. Can it be believed? Is there even one truth about the tails doll?
Hey, I don't have much time, but take this new info. The jewel on his head; it's a chaos
emerald. Also, I'm not on Earth. I'm not even in the milky way galaxy. Hell, I'm not even
sure if I'm in your universe. On another note, the Doll explained his existence to me.
Apparently, he is the god-figure of our universe. He controls time and space, not to
mention death. So, whether you play Sonic R or not, you'll meet him in the end. It's just
a matter of whether your soul's intact. Need to go, thanks.

Sonic the Shapeshifter sends us this excellent (and rather lengthy) story. The Tails
Doll's Army is growing, indeed.
I laughed when I read the stories. I’d heard about the Tails Doll before, and became
curious. One day I Googled the Tails Doll, and found the site.
The site with the stories.
The site that would doom me, forever.
“If you beat the game Sonic R, 100%, then tag supersonic with the Tails Doll, the Tails
Doll will come out of the screen and A.) Eat your soul, B.) Kill you/your friends/your
family, or C.) Run away because your soul is too pure.” That’s what I got out of the
stories. And I honestly thought it was a joke.
Until it happened.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
I should start from the beginning.
My friends call me Sonic, because I run fast like him. But don’t get confused about my
gender- you see, I’m a girl. I embrace the nickname openly, and sometimes even
prefer that name to my true one, seeing as I’m a lot like the blue blur in personality.
You may not believe me when I say this, but then again, you may not believe in the
curse (I pity you, you poor fool), but I am a shapeshifter. Yes, it sounds bizarre. I’ve
had this power since I was born. I discovered it after dreaming one night of changing
shape and becoming different animals, only to wake up as a small fox. It was a weird
dream. I can also become animals that are said not to exist, like dragons or unicorns;
my ability is not simply limited to animals normally seen.
Anyway, I had just finished reading volume 5 of the Tails Doll Curse stories, chuckling
to myself at how ridiculous they sounded. I know, a shapeshifter thinking of a curse as
ridiculous and untrue. But for me it’s quite natural.
I had received a GameCube a few years ago from my brother, and had since bought
Sonic Gems Collection which came with Sonic R on it. On the site it had said the
GameCube version was safe, but other stories I’d read had proved otherwise. Or so
they said. I decided I’d beat the game, 100%, too, and tag Super Sonic with the Tails
Doll, just to prove to myself and anyone else I met that it was 100% fake.
I was such a fool.
I unlocked all of the characters except for Super Sonic and the Tails Doll. Finally I
found all of the tokens and Tails Doll came up to race. I wanted to get him so I could
complete the curse, so, with my character (Tails) I took off like a rocket! And it just
stood there. I quickly got halfway around the course from the doll and began
wondering if there wasn’t something to this curse after all. It was as though it wanted
me to win, with how slow the darn thing was. And after I’d gotten all the Chaos
Emeralds and unlocked Super Sonic, I’d had a devil of a time trying to catch him with
my Tails Doll. But eventually he tripped up and I did.
I was alone in the house when I did that. It was quite stupid of me, really. I should’ve
had someone there to help me out if it was true. In the end, I guess I could’ve had the
entire neighborhood with me and it wouldn’t have helped me a bit.
The T.V. and my GameCube shut off when I caught Super Sonic with the Tails Doll.
I started to get up and turn the console and television back on again when suddenly
the Tails Doll flickered on the screen. Its face was covered in shadow. Slowly it looked
up at me with those big, button eyes.
And for the first time in my life, I was truly scared.
I whirled around, beginning to turn into a wolf. I sprouted a tail and my ears changed
quickly, but I wasn’t fully changed when I discovered it was behind me. It sprang at me
with inhuman strength and speed, battering every inch of my body. I didn’t even have
time to react. Any of my struggles against it only made it hit me back with ten times the
force. It hurt me so bad I thought I was going to die. And I wondered why it wasn’t
trying to eat my soul, which was the first thing the Tails Doll ever did, according to the
stories. Finally it battered me so much that I became unconscious.
When I woke up, I lay where I’d fallen on the floor. But it was as if time stopped. All I
heard was a faint melody.
“Can you feel the sunshine…does it brighten up your day…don’t you feel that
sometimes, you just need to run away…away…away…”
The acid remix. I’d downloaded the song to my computer a few days before, after
reading the stories. I felt something rough, like sandpaper, which was slightly wet,
moving methodically over a cut on my ribs. Fear paralyzed me when I slowly looked
back to see the Tails Doll licking up the blood from the wound. It continued to lick the
wound, oblivious or simply ignoring the fact that I’d woken up. I watched it stop, lick
one of its paws, then wipe its paw on the open wound. The wound disappeared before
my eyes. I couldn’t believe it. It was healing me? Why?
I noticed that the lower half of my body appeared healed too. The pain remained
though, so I couldn’t move without feeling a searing pain sear through my body. My
neck started to hurt. I turned so I was facing the way I’d fallen, letting my head rest on
the floor. The Tails Doll moved up my body, healing all of the wounds after drinking
some of my blood from those wounds, until finally it chomped upon my wolf ear, which
it had partially bitten off when it was beating me up. It slowly pulled its muzzle off of my
ear, and the ear was actually restored. I’m not kidding. It healed every wound it
inflicted upon me. Believe it or not, it didn’t hurt my not-so-public areas, so I didn’t
have to worry about that.
Although I was now fully healed, the pain was still keeping me from moving. I was at its
mercy. The Tails Doll moved to my face now, and looked directly into my eyes.
Although I hated to show any weakness to this heartless creature, I couldn’t help but
whimper when I looked into its button eyes.
“I can kill you now…” It said, its mouth unmoving. Its voice scared me. “Or you can join
me. Which do you choose?”
I hated him. I hated him as much as I hated his creator, Eggman. Maybe even more.
The Tails Doll placed his foot on my neck. I had to choose now. If I didn’t, I knew it’d
press down and snap my neck in two.
I didn’t want to join him, but I didn’t want to die either! Life was too much fun! And,
although the phrase had been used so many times it had become cliché, I was too
young to die. And if he let me live, I might be able to learn his weakness and destroy
him someday.
“Yes…” I growled.
It knew what I meant. If it knew what I was thinking, it didn’t care. Instead, it took its foot
off of my neck and floated above the floor beside me. It still stared into my eyes. I
wondered if it was sucking out my soul. I didn’t feel like it was being sucked out, but,
having never experienced having my soul taken out before, I couldn’t be sure.
Then I began to feel kind of faint, and I decided that he probably was devouring my
soul. Suddenly the Tails Doll stopped staring into my eyes and backed away for a
moment, shaking its head. It came forward again to stare into my eyes, and I began to
feel like fainting again, but as soon as I’d start feeling that, it would break off eye
contact and back off, shaking its head. I felt confused and wondered if the Tails Doll
did this every time it devoured a soul, when I began to hear it cussing angrily, its
carefully stitched mouth unmoving as it began to speak.
“Stupid angelic shapeshifter. I should have known that you, a magical being, would
have only the purest of souls.” The Tails Doll hissed, “Of all of the souls I’ve seen or
eaten, yours is the purest of the pure, even purer than the last one I came in contact
with. You are the only being on this planet that stands in my way of ruling this pathetic
world. Why, I should just kill you now!”
I squeezed my eyes shut and braced myself for the killing blow, knowing that there was
nothing I could turn into to save myself if it really wanted to kill me. But the blow never
came. I opened one eye to look up at it timidly, then relaxed my aching muscles and
opened the other eye, looking up to see the Tails Doll floating beside me silently,
apparently thinking, the red jewel above its head bobbing from side to side like the
lure of an angler fish. It began to speak again.
“On the other hand, you may be of more use to me alive than dead.” It murmured in its
cold voice, “Yes, I shall let you live for now. Having a slave with the purest soul in
existence on my side would be much better than letting you go free to fight me, and if I
killed you and released your soul, what’s to say your soul won’t stick around to
destroy me? Yes…I shall keep you alive…you will not be allowed to die…”
Hearing that gave me the slightest comfort, knowing he wasn’t going to murder me as
he had done with others. It ticked me off to hear him openly call me a slave, but there
was nothing I could do about that. But I wondered about how he said I wouldn’t be
allowed to die. One day I’d grow old and die- that happened to everybody- how could
he keep me from dying then? When the answer struck me, I tried to get away, despite
the intense, fiery pain that shot through my body at getting up, if only to get on all
fours, but it slammed me back to the ground and tore a hole in the sleeve of my shirt.
And then it bit me. I let loose a long, loud howl of pain as it sank its teeth deep into my
bicep. I couldn’t help but mentally curse whoever gave the Tails Doll those sharp
pointy teeth. It felt like forever before the Tails Doll took its teeth out of my arm. I
clutched it in pain; it felt like it was on fire. The fiery feeling quickly spread to the rest
of my body, making me involuntarily flail about like a fish out of water.
The Tails Doll appeared smug. “The venom is spreading through your body at high
speed. You are immortal, like me. Now there is no threat of you dying, unless you are
killed. And I will not let anyone kill you. Now you are mine, forever.”
It stayed by my side until finally I stopped thrashing. “I didn’t know you could do that!” I
said angrily.
“I don’t display all of my abilities at once, and I never needed to use it before now.”
The Tails Doll replied, watching me carefully.
“I hate you!” I hissed, not caring if he hit me again. If he killed me, fine, he’d already
revealed to me that I could come back as a spirit to destroy him.
“Don’t vex me, girl, I said I won’t kill you, but I can beat you until you’re a centimeter
from death.” The Tails Doll threatened.
I fell silent, glaring at him.
The jewel sprouting from the Tails Doll’s head began to glow brightly, so bright that I
was forced to close my eyes. When I opened them again, I found myself in a sort of
giant birdcage, the Tails Doll standing outside of it.
“There is also a sort of force field surrounding the edges of this cage. Don’t even try
to escape. It’s impossible.” The Tails Doll said, then left the room.
He kept me there as a prisoner for the next few weeks, usually just to watch me, just to
make sure I was still there. There was indeed a force field, which kept me trapped
within the stupid cage which I quickly learned to hate. If I touched it I’d be thrown back,
into the middle of the cage. I finally stopped trying, lying around the middle of the
metal cage the whole day, all hope of escaping gone. Usually the Tails Doll would
have one of his older slaves bring me food and water- if he didn’t feed me I would die,
being immortal simply meant that I wouldn’t die of age. Today was no exception. This
time it was a girl younger than me, though. She seemed to be maybe seven or eight.
The Tails Doll hadn’t told any of the other people he’d captured that I was a
shapeshifter. Apparently he didn’t feel the need to explain about me to his “pathetic
slaves” as he sometimes referred to them.
Anyway, this was a new girl who’d never seen me before and didn’t know why I was
held separate from the others.
This had to be one of the Doll’s newer captives, as she still asked questions. Usually
the Tails Doll would break them of that the moment they questioned anything about
him.
She set down the food tray outside the door on the panel that let the food pass
through the force field. I came over to eat it, knowing that if I didn’t eat it, the Tails Doll
would come and force it down my throat.
“Why are you in here and not with the rest of us?” She asked timidly.
Immediately I saw a way to get my freedom.
“Because I can kill the Tails Doll,” I whispered to her, “He keeps me in here because
he knows that if I get out, I can destroy him. All you have to do to let me out is open
that door.”
The little girl became excited, but then her enthusiasm dimmed. “Where’s the key?”
she asked.
“It’s right over there, hanging on a peg in the wall.” I said, pointing at it. The Tails Doll
kept it there to tease me, I think. Let me see the key to freedom so far out of reach, to
tell me that there was no way I’d ever get out.
The little girl darted over to the key, but she couldn’t reach it. She was too small.
“I can’t reach it.” She said sadly.
“Don’t give up, just- um- climb up the wall!” I suggested.
The little girl pried her fingers into the cracks of the wall and managed to climb up
quite a way. I wondered if she climbed on rock walls a lot before she was taken by the
doll. She released the wall with one hand and grabbed the key, then fell painfully onto
her side on the floor. For a second I worried that she might’ve been knocked out by
the fall, but then I saw her get back up. She must have really wanted me to kill the
Tails Doll. She ran over and inserted the key into a panel on the door of the cave,
opening the lock and swinging the door open. The force field disintegrated as soon as
the key turned in the lock.
Without a moment’s hesitation I leapt through the door and turned into a dragon,
blasting through the place as fast as I could go. Those moments of destroying things
in my path to escape are all a blur now. All I remember is finally breaking through to
the outside, and flying up, up, up, soaring to freedom! I don’t think I’ve ever been
happier in my life than to escape that horrible place.
I feel bad for the little girl, I hope the Tails Doll didn’t kill or hurt her too much for
helping me escape, but I had to get out of there while I still had a chance to make a
difference. I’m constantly on the move now, making plans and trying to figure out what
the Tails Doll’s weakness is. Research says the jewel on his head is where he draws
his power from, so next time I face him that’s the first place I’ll strike, maybe if I pull it
out he’ll die.
I have to go now, if I stay and write much longer he’ll catch me again and put me back
in that dreaded prison I escaped from. I sense him drawing nearer.
Until next time,
Sonic the Shapeshifter

This quickie comes from someone named Kitty Cat, and the Tails Doll knows that
there's more then one way to skin her...
Hello my name is Kitty Cat. And I have a tale to tell...
One day when I was playing Sonic R, I finished it 100%, saved, and went to school. A
few hours later when I came back, I saw the house was all RED!
I went in. Blood was every where! On the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. I screamed in
horror. I ran to my room. The tails doll turned it's head at me, looking like it wanted my
soul -- and it did! So I ran as fast as I could to get out of there. I ran all the way to my
friend Jack's house. Tears steaming from my eyes, he said "What's the matter?"
I said, "THE TAILS D-D-D-DOLL IT'S HERE!" I hugged him tightly. Don't worry, he said.
I calmed down. He helped me do my homework. It was math. Later I said "good bye" to
him. I couldn't explain why, but I asked if he could "feel the sunshine?"
He looked at me strangely, and said, "good bye!" So I went home again. Soon I was
feeling weak. I tried running. But, I was slow. Again I was weaker and weaker. Soon I
could not move. Then I heard a terrible sound... SCHRUUUUMPY.
I fell to the ground. I felt the life draining from me. The Tails Doll was in my backpack
the whole time...

Masterweaver sends us this strange (even by this site's standards) yarn. It's a great
read, though, and given the shear amount of oddity is this world, whose to say they're
not telling the truth?
My name is Masterweaver. I am a Criad. I keep the stories running right, so Aragorn
doesn't get swamped by dimension-hopping fangirls, or Mario does not encounter the
borg. This is my job, and my passion.
It also means I've done some things I regret.
Contrary to popular belief, THE Tails Doll is not the only tails doll, nor even the first.
There was one of them in the game Tails Adventure, though radically different and
under another name. Mecha Tails, as it was called, had a far different purpose than
that of its doppelganger down the line. It was designed as a cheery, helpful assistant
to the fox, arranging new paths for him to walk on. Harmless and, in fact, friendly.
How it escaped from the games, I don’t know. That’s not my concern, but the
department of glitch-treks. However, I was the closest Criad at the time. No
records show whether it was supposed to be there, so I was assigned the duty of
making sure he did not truly interfere with time. For about a week, I managed to
hide it from everyone, whilst hiding myself from it. Such is my life. Such it will always
be.
Then it found a working internet connection. And googled “Mecha Tails.” From there,
it heard of THE Tails Doll. And it hit google.
And learned.
And loathed.
Somehow, it managed to get a hold of Sonic R. It placed the CD in a shrine. And it
waited in front of the shrine for three whole days. With a rifle.
The Tails Doll did not come.
Mecha Tails was a smart creature. It learned. And so, in order to summon and
slaughter the Tails Doll, it placed the game on the doorstep of a child. I did nothing.
The game was recorded as ending up there, and now I knew why. Mecha Tails waited.
I watched.
It still had the rifle.
Finally, THE Tails doll appeared. He was floating slowly down the street, as though he
had all the time in the world. He was coming for the child. As he had come before, as
he would come again.
Only this time, Mecha Tails raised the rifle and fired.
If it had hit its target, time and space would have gone askew. Horribly, terribly
destroyed. But it was in that moment I landed on Mecha Tails, at that moment
he was terminated. The bullet whizzed harmlessly past Tails Doll’s ear.
With its last crackle, Mecha Tails looked at me and asked, “What kind of monster are
you?”
I pondered. “Fate.”
The Tails Doll floated over. “You saved my life. Why?”
I could not tell him that it was my job. I turned back to him and said, “You should
wither, not merely die.”
He nodded. “Remember that when I find you.” He floated through the window. I
watched what he did.
If I ever receive a copy of Sonic R, it will only be a matter of time before I finish at one
hundred percent. When he comes, I will be ready.
I am a Criad. I keep the stories in check. No matter how dark they are.

Dimented sends us this tragic tale. He sees the Tails Doll everywhere he looks, and
yet no one believes him. At least here, we know he's not crazy. At least, not any
crazier then the rest of us.
My name is "Dimented."
I had a perfect life, and that doll ruined it:
I got Sonic gems for the gamecube. I loved it. Within a week or so I had compleated
nearly every game(yes every one). I was in bed one night when I swear I saw that
damned Gem. I was scared stiff!
I looked up the doll on the web and found this site and a few others. I told my friends
and they said: "You play too many video games" and "what are you smoking". In a
month or so of trying to convince them, they thought I was crazy and forgot about me.
Everyone at my school thinks I'm crazy. I'm not. I have seen the doll more times than I
can count. My only friends now are: My pet Bird and a few very good friends that I met
on another Tails Doll site.
PS: Thank you: Rush Moonlight and Miot, my best friends.

A little while back I received an email form "Gailnico321." There's not much there, but
it appears to be from one of the TD's servants. From the looks of it, his master's not
very happy.
Hello, I am a fellow servant from the Tails Doll -- more on that in my next submission. I
need to tell you something: that red Jewel on his head? Well, it is used to drain the life
force from its own victim, he needs that jewel! Take it away, and he will be
defenseless! I need to tell you more later, just need to hit send. If he catches me, I'll
be downgraded into a simple pure soul finder.
No more ;kjbbnuivhfpq grhh shlumpy….
End transmission. Gailnico321 will be… offline for a while. Now just, delete this
message like it never happened.
(Hey, guys. It's me. Quacker. I wondered what happened to this poor dude. Then, I
checked my inbox, and found this story, from the same address. Could this be his
history, revealed? What prompted that glimmer of remorse in his previous work?)
I was on my way to school when I saw a tiny red Jewel near a bush. I held it up in front
my best friend, and his soul came out of him, like a glittering blue star! I watched in
horror as the soul went inside the jewel. A thought struck me: Could this jewel belong
to the Tails Doll?
The world grew dark, and my question was answered.
"ThAt’S mY jEwEl YoU iNsOlEnT sLaVe!"
I merely told him that I got the soul of my best friend on accident. He said, “Excellent! A
soul of a mortal bound to someone’s closest friend is a tasty meal indeed. YoU Will bE
a GrEAt ToOL."
Right in front of everyone, he put me into the sealed doll-cloak. I now had all of his
powers. "dEsTrOy tHeM aLl," he commanded.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! VeNgEaNcE!!!!! CRASH!!!! At that moment, it seemed like a million
souls were screaming and yelling!
Now, everyone I cherished is gone. I will seek out and destroy all those that hurt the
Tails Doll, now and forever more. Will I find anyone who dares to defy me?
SHCLUMPY!!!
____________________________________________________________________
Do you remember Shadow 6000 (see Vol. 7) who sent us a letter from the Doll, saying
that it just wanted to be our friends? I said it was a trap, and guess what this new alert
tells us? IT WAS A TRAP!
He lied! I'm sure I'll get punished for this, but he was lying! I'm lucky to get enough time
to write this, but shortly after he finished writing the last email, he said something
along the lines of, "Damn tradition," and encouraged me to play Sonic R since the
curse wasn't real. Well, I trusted him at this point, so I let him go and proceeded
to unlock Mecha Knux, since that was the character I always left so I
wouldn't be cursed.
It wasn't long before I had the game 100% complete. I was about to go to Resort Island
and try out Mecha Knuckles, but I started to hear a tapping, like that I heard on the
Tails Doll's first visit. I let him in through my window expecting a friendly conversation.
However, this wasn't the case. He looked me in the eye and said, "So, you believes
Tails Doll? Good, I has trust then. You'll live, for that act of kindness towards me. But
we's got to go. Slave."
I hesitated. In his eyes, I could see no fear, no remorse, and I couldn't tell if he was
lying or kidding from his monotone voice. Eventually "Can You Feel the Sunshine"
started playing. I was filled with fear, so I left with him. "Good," he said. "You makes
good choices, doesn't you?"
We walked ( no, I walked, he hovered) for about seven miles. After that, I was
expecting the ground to open up or something like that. But he said, "The jewel on my
head, remove it." I did as I was told, and in a second, the doll was gone. I was really
afraid then. But I then heard a voice in my head utter the words, "Chaos control!"
Instantly, we were gone, to some strange place. It was quite cosmic. "Drop the jewel."
Once again doing as I was told, I carefully set the jewel down. The moment I
relinquished it, he appeared once again, dangling from the small jewel. "We of the
nonliving cannot harness Chaos Control without a host. I'm glad to be apart from that
world again... You noticed my grammar was hideous? Yes, a side effect of
being non-sentient in a living world. You will have power, for helping me. Zeph!"
Zeph, where had I heard that name...
"What pure souls do you require, my master?"
That's it! The Tails Doll's collector of pure souls, from your site! "None today, my loyal
servant. You are to make this soul comfortable. He has done a great deal for me."
"But his soul... it's so pure... Couldn't you devour it and become
omnipotent once more, my master?"
"That's hardly your business, slave! Do as you are told!"
Make me comfortable? What a sick way to say what was done. I was set on a throne. I
was given a staff. I was given the power to see pure souls. And I was told to judge
souls brought in by slaves. I was told to torture the souls of slaves who brought in
impure souls with the staff.
Damn, I've got to go now. It won't be long before the slaves start to return. In closing,
yes, you were right. It was a trap.
truth behind the Doll...
Sam here for a 3rd time.
This is bad and I mean REALLY BAD. He has...... gained ultimate power. I tried to find
a way to defeat him but its too risky and if I try I might end up destroying the world in
the process.
I found it out by looking at your site. It seems if the lost souls of his victims can be Re-
awakened his power will overload resulting in his death. The only way to re-awaken
them is to remove the ruby. Whatever the consequences I must try.
Wait... what was that? Shit he's found me this is my chance. I don't have much time
"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HH"
This is the end for you puny human. The day of reckoning has come now you
will all die.
"Shut up you piece of crap!"
Your death will be slow and painful Sam. Wait -- what are you doing?
"Ending you once and for all!"
Its futile human. I am the beginning and end of humanity.
"What?"
I am God. I created this world to feed on your life energy. I made you and I
will end you.
"No!"
This is to all you innocent readers. I'm coming for you, regardless of the
curse. I will destroy you 1 by 1 starting with this worm. You should see him:
paralysed with fear, unable to scream for help. It's both amusing and
pathetic. I'll tell you how I will kill him and the owner of this site. They will die
together in the same horrible way. Devoured slowly by me (I like the taste of
humans). I wont kill them. I'll let them drown in there own blood unable to
escape
IT WILL BE THE END FOR YOU ALL! YOU WILL FEEL THE SUNSHINE! IT BURNS!

This is an ominous observation Homsunami187...
This is more of a weird-but-true story of some possible TD run ins. When I go to your
site and read the tails- er- tales, sometimes i see images of TD's face or diamond
imprinted in the spaces in the text. Not a curse thingy, but pretty weird...
____________________________________________________________________
Remember Katlyn? She's back with even more tales of her search for the Tails Doll...
Hello there. It's me, Katlyn again, and I'm here to tell you all a little bit more about me
and my ongoing story. This story starts about three days before thanksgiving when I
was at Tekla's house.
Now at my high school we get a week off for thanksgiving. Cool, right? Wrong. With
nothing to do and no homework to occupy our tiny attention spans, we decide to figure
out why TD wouldn't come to us. It was just me, her and Yorick. So I pull out my
crapilly made ouija board. Crappy but still useful.
We donned the Wii with my copy of Sonic Gems and pulled up Sonic R's select
character screen. (No we really didn't think this out too much. At first we were just
gonna light some candles and try my crappy board, but decided having Sonic R would
be more appropriate)
Me and Tekla took seats on opposite sides of the board and put our first two fingers
on the magnifying glass. Then we called to him. And waited. And waited. And waited.
About a half an hour later, I said "My board's just too sucky to work T. I guess we'll
have to go buy a real one."
"Yea, K. It really is bad. I'm mean, the board is just a piece of paper with stuff written
on it," Tekla said.
"Well it worked when we summoned 'Bloody Mary' and scared Yorick half to death," I
replied, remembering the incident on Halloween. We laughed and left the room to grab
a snack.
When we came back, the room was dark. The screen was black and it cast an eerie
glow on my crappy board. I turned to Tekla and asked her, "Did you turn off the TV?"
She shook her head. I turned back to the crappy board and said breathlessly, "Me
neither."
Slowly we walked over to the board and sat down in our original seats. We looked
down at the pointer. It was moving, repeating the same letters. Finally I figured it out.
It was saying, "Check the bedrooms". I looked up at Tekla but she had already figured
it out. "Yorick!" we whispered together. He had gone up stairs to watch youtube.
We ran up the stairs to check on him. He was slumped over his chair. On the
computer screen was a vid of the Tails Doll playing his familiar tune of "Can you Feel
the Sunshine?" I walked over and poked Yorick on his back. He didn't even move so
we ran into Tekla's room.
I closed the door and locked it as she picked up her cellphone to call the 911. As she
called 911 and talked to the operator, I sat against the door, silent as ever. I was
confused. I was so happy that TD had finally decided to show up, but why did he
attack Yorick? He didn't know about the curse...
Or at least I thought so. I cracked the door to look into his dark room and saw
something move in the blackness. Too scared to say anything, I watched as the blob
moved from corner to corner and approached the room we were taking cover in. I felt
a hot breath on my neck. It was Tekla. We both watched as the blob overcame us
and then, I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was in the hospital. My mom was in the chair next to me, asleep
and Tekla was awake in the cot next to mine. Her mom was also asleep. We both sat
up and I asked, "What are they saying happened?"
"We intercepted a robbery/attempted murder. Yorick's alright. They called us heroes,
K."
I grinned at the irony and said, "If they only knew the extent of what we've done!"
"We! You're the one who tagged Sonic with him eight times!"
"Well sorry, T! You were the one who told me to make him come out!"
"Nuh-uh. I only said he was cool."
"Your lying."
"I know," she replied and then we both lied down in our hospital beds.
We were discharged on Thanksgiving, but Yorick had severe brain damage. So bad
the poor boy stopped talking.
I have to go now... My master's calling me. But I will be back later to finish my story....
And one last thing, "Can you Feel the Sunshine?"
___________________________________________________________________
This comes form someone "Serotonin Life." How cool is that?!
One day I went to my best friend's house. We planned to perform the curse. We
beat it and unlocked everything. We were trying to preform the curse for about an
hour then finally we preformed the curse. Nothing happened. Then a couple of
weeks later, my friend came over we both had to sleep in my bed. We got onto the
topic of the Tails Doll that night and I started to insult him. We saw something black
move on the ceiling!
We turned on the lights, creeped out. Getting back into my bed, we talked about it
some more and I kept insulting the TD. Then I asked were my Tails plushy was. We
turned on the lights. It was under a bunch of stuff. I ripped its tails, legs, and arms off.
Then I ripped off its head. If it were not for my dog, Oreo we wouldn't have ripped it.
My friend grabbed my Shadow plushy, and I grabbed my Amy plushy and we kept
complementing them so if TD was in my room they'd save us. I went under the blanket
and closed my eyes. When I opened them, I saw the colors of radiant emerald
flashing on my ceiling. We were up all night, freaked out. Then a couple months later
-- October, the day of Halloween -- my class heard wind that didn't sound like normal
wind. Then a light switch blew up and the sparks flew kinda close to me. Was TD
was trying to get me? It's too much of a coincidence...

This is a brief warning from Amanda...

first. Just...stay...calm...ohhh...hes here. runnn...save your selfs...noooo
*schumpy*

What's a Tails Dog? I don't know, but he's sending us this little tale...
We all have a tale to tell. Here is mine.
I was a big Sonic fan until recently. Then it happened. The end. I was playing on
Resident Evil 2 one night when I noticed something was wrong. It was all too easy! I
got to the final fight with William Birkin and killed him. When the credits rolled down, I
pressed X to skip them (as usual) And in blood it said "You Have unlocked Scenario
C." What the hell! There was no scenario C! I started playing and quickly completed
it. At that moment The doll appeared in the game. It attacked Leon and killed him in
one hit. The words "You have Been Owned by the Tails Doll" appeared on screen.
This creeped me out so I turned the TV off.
Later that day I was reading a book and the doll appeared in front of me. "What do
you want?" I asked him/It.
"YoUr SoUl." The doll replied, in a flat tone.
I Shuddered. "Why?" I asked.
"I fEeD oN hUmAn EmOtIoN...It SaTiSfys Me..."
"Why Me?"
"YoU sUmMoNeD mE..."
"So?"
"YoU fEel CoNtEmPt FoR tHe OtHeR HuMaNs...ThAt Is GoOd..."
"So what if i had wanted to kill everyone in my school! I'm over that!"
At that moment the Doll looked into my eyes. I felt woozy, then everything went black.
When I woke up I was lying on the ground, with a gold collar fastened around my neck.
I tried to speak, but all that came out was a deep growling. My vision came into focus. I
was in some sort of Ancient temple, way out in space. My collar had a glowing red
jewel on it. The tails doll was sitting on an ancient throne. In his hand he had a Leash.
It was fastened to my Collar. I now live as the Doll's pet, Plushy Fur covering my body.
Alas, I cannot speak, Yet i retain some of my Human Intelligence (I.E. Typing,
Reading,) and Master trains me daily. I understand the commands Kill, Maul,
Eviscerate and Fetch. Still, it's not that bad. I get fed human flesh three times a day!
____________________________________________________________________
Barbara gives us an interesting theory into the creation of the Tails Doll...
1000 years ago, there lived a very powerful, and equally evil necromancer. The sound
of his name would make even the toughest of men quake in fear. One day, the
necromancer decided that he must pass the torch.
He used a discarded plushie that was thrown away by a little boy. He stitched it with all
of his evil and stuffed it with all of his hate. Then, he took a shard from his jeweled
staff, and attached it to the doll. Afterwards, he did the horrible mistake of bringing the
doll to life. The doll was in no way loyal. He killed the necromancer and stole his soul.
He has had that same craving since. Upon stealing his soul, he gained immortality.
Now, his soul purpose is to kill the thousand-year descendant of the child who threw
him away.
And that descendant, is Yuji Naka.

Andrea sends us this musical malediction...
I was testing the "If you sing the lyrics of living in the city back words while locked in a
lightless bathroom myth" when it happened.
My ankles started to hurt. I felt a cold breath on my neck. A faint out lining of some
kind of fox doll could be seen in the mirror -- a diamond shape flouting above it,
glowing red. It was behind me. You could only see the head, jewel, and hands. I
couldn't move. I thought I was going to die. Then "Can you feel the sunshine? Does it
brighten up your day?" The song was coming from the computer in the next room. But
I paused the song before I came in to the bathroom. I looked back at the mirror.
The doll was gone, but writing replaced it. "The Tails doll's after you." I read. I could
barely breath. The words vanished, and then the words "Can you feel the sunshine?"
replaced the old ones.
They faded, and I ran.
____________________________________________________________________
Not all of the so-called "Pure Souls," are made of light and love -- Like our friend Chris
here. He "Loves Death."
Ah, how I love the idea of a curse being real. And even more, I love pushing them to
their limits. Such as the Shrine God’s curse, which turned out to be a few parasitic
bugs, or the curse of George Bush, who turned about to be a sneaky little bastard.
Then there is the Curse of the Tails Doll. Absolutely juicy. A doll coming out of a video
game.
Your site is so intriguing, you know. It provided me with the means of testing the
curse's existence. Exist doesn't even tell the half of it. Not only does he exist, but he
can make you non-existent at will. He can kill you, set your life span, or cause life. He
hates the life part, but to him, it was an accident. Then again, a mistake could give him
his greatest power.
You see, he calls me a purest soul. Like that Sam and that Celebaby, I am a purest
soul, according to him. Unlike them, my form of happiness is brought about by death. I
love death. The very idea of death just fills me with joy. So much, that I decided to test
this curse and become the very entity that is death.
You can thank Higurashi no Naku Koro ni for my love of death.
So I did all the necessary things to unleash the curse. But I did both of them, to make
sure the curse was fully unleashed. Miyamoto’s stupid shield meant very little to his
unleashing, as I caught Super Sonic with ease.
So at last the Curse was unleashed. You can tell by now that I’m not the most correct
in the head. In fact, you could say I was crazy.
The Curse was great.
The Power went out. My door shut itself and locked itself. Then the Doll glided out of
my TV
The Tails Doll regarded me with those soulless stone eyes of his, the same ones
everyone fears. Then he announced, “Another purest soul, and so quickly. I knew
Celebaby was a fool, but you… you’re so stupid t-”
“Stupid?” I blurted. “Fool, I’ve been forcing you loose for a while now. I’m practically
willing to be your servant.”
“Sadly for you, you’re a Purest Soul. So instead you get to be another to my
collection.”
I let a silly grin spread across my face, “Freedom is fun.”
My room became engulfed in darkness for a moment- or perhaps I went to sleep. I
haven’t decided yet.
The Darkness lifted, and I found myself in a replica of my room. Computer, Desk, Bed,
everything. It was all there. I knew that I was only in a replica, because this had
happened to Celebaby.
“I do have a question. I’ve read that you can read minds and the like, but how can you
say I am a purest soul?” I asked.
“Simple. Your love for death gives you joy. The very idea that you’d kill yourself to
become death’s physical entity makes you pure,” He leaned in toward me, “What you
don’t seem to realize is that you’d kill yourself to become me.”
“Delightful!” I said with another grin.
Now I reside in this little spot. I don’t have to be disturbed ever again. I am given food
at my request. Not by the Tails Doll himself, but when I ask for it, it comes. I can sleep
and not be bothered at all. Celebaby and Sam are appalled at how I can cope with this
so easily.
“Death is my friend. I prefer the bloody death too. It makes me warm inside."
____________________________________________________________________
Mosolo is another slave of the doll, albeit a disturbingly willing one...
My master WILL find you.
I am a slave of the Master, and he is merciful. He granted all my wishes, and he can
grant all yours too. All that needs to be done is to submit to his will. This is my story.
I was a normal 15-year-old computer whiz. I messed around, and stumbled on the
Tails Doll curse. I clicked and read, and thought it was the biggest load of bunk I had
ever read. But then my friend, who I had known for 12 years, was found...dead. In his
room. With the words “Can You Feel The Sunshine” etched on his chest. Then, I
knew the curse was real. And I felt an elation. I knew that now I could have a meaning
in my life. So I downloaded Sonic R of the Internet. And beat it 100%.
That night, the screen flickered and became a red dot. A gem, if you will. I stood back
as the lights went out, then back on as he appeared in front of me. He was greeted
with something he had never seen…a smile.
“Hello…Master,” I said to him.
“Master? ...No one ever submits this quickly. Who are you?”
“My friend was a victim of yours. Kenneth.”
“Ah yes, his soul was...delectable.”
“I was hooked then. I read all about your...acts. And I’m impressed. My life, you see
has no meaning. I must have...a purpose. So I want to join your army.”
The doll blankly stared, then nodded. He flew into my body, and I disappeared. Now, I
am part of his army, a slave to his will. Hear this, fools, he WILL find the owner of the
site. It’s only a matter of time.
When you see a man with long black hair and glowing red eyes, you will know your
time has come.
You will all...
Feel the sunshine.

Katlyn sends us this one. Looks like the Doll has really screwed with her. Alas, poor
Yorick; she knew him well...
When Yorick got Sonic Gems, I have to admit, I didn't know a lick about TD. And he
probably didn't know one thing about me. But when all three of us played it, I must
admit, I found it amusing. It was great. Tails was in it and unlockables... It was great for
an old game! But then Yorick said, "Do you know about the Tails Doll?" Tails? Had a
robot counterpart? EXCELENT!
So I researched him and came on your website. I'll admit, I was scared, at first. Then I
was fascinated. I borrowed the game for two weeks. More than long enough, I
thought, to unlock TD. So I beat the game. I unlocked him and then tagged Sonic.
Again. And Again. WhY wOuLdN't He CoMe?!?!?! Then I got bored. And then I had to
give the game back. I was sooo sad! I mean, you think he'd come to at least confront
me. Me! His biggest er... fan? What ever. Any way. I kinda gave up on him.
About a month later. I found Sonic Gems in Walmart. I had never seen it before there.
It was like it was waiting for me. I had to get it. So I begged my mom to buy it for me.
That night the strange things started happening to me and Tekla. At first we thought it
was a coincidence, but as the events got stranger and weirder we had to admit, some
of them were beyond rational explanation.
The dreams were too real, the sounds too out of place, the pictures... It was just
wrong. We figured there was a cycle where he would haunt each of us for a period of
time until he would show himself to us. He's too smart for that. If he has a pattern, it is
strange and irregular. But I do know he's starting back up again.
He wants us... He wants me. He wants us to be friends. Friends forever. And I, I can
feel the sunshine...

Gelert111 asks us a sad question, to which the answer is tragically yes.
It all started two days ago, I took an interest in the tails doll and its videos. I laughed at
a lot of them, However I figured out the tails doll is no laughing matter. It was about
11:00 at night, so I decided to brush my teeth again before I went to bed. As I walked
into the dark bathroom, I felt like something was watching me. Unable to control
myself, I looked into the mirror and I saw a red light! I felt frozen, I couldn't scream. It
started to get closer, and closer, until I was finally able to run! I ran out of the
bathroom and tried to explain to my mom but she thought I was sleep walking.
Ever since yesterday, I've felt a cold chill following me. I wore a heavy jacket to school,
but people thought I was nuts. In seventh period, we were using the computers. All of
a sudden, I felt frozen again! I couldn't move. I crept my eyes up to the screen to see a
faded image of the tails doll! I tried to ignore it, but as I type this I still feel like
something's watching me. The weirdest thing that has happened yet is my sudden
obsession with the song 'Can You Feel The Sunshine.' I absolutely hate The song yet
I can't stop listening to it. I've even put it on my Myspace, and I'm listening to it right
now!
Have I become a slave of the tails doll?

This tiny testament comes from AmAm.
Well I think the stories on this site is true, cause ever since I heard this and moved to
where I am. I am seing things where there is light but I am seeing black objects out of
nowhere. Then when I look back it's gone. It looks like THE TAILS DOLL!!!!!!!!!!! As in
the one from Sonic R.
____________________________________________________________________
Of course all these Tails contain a grain of truth, but some more then others.
Kyasarin's is a true as they come....
Though maybe unrelated, and probably meaningless, this is indeed the truest story
you'll find on this site.
For some time, I had come to this website, and even I had been spooked a few times
by the stories that everyone had come up with. Few times did I actually shiver and turn
in early for the night only to take countless looks around the room. Regardless, I had
continued.
About a month or two ago, I put up a request for someone to make me a doll. I had
offered four reference shots for each side, and offered to negotiate a price. Yes, this
doll I had wanted manufactured was the Tails Doll.
I had wanted it for a costume of mine for a convention. I had planned to dress up like
one of those half-dead Lolita girls with the Tails Doll in my arms to look as menacing
as I ever have. I believed that any Sonic fan there would want a picture, remember me
and maybe even post a story inspired by my act.
Alas, time had passed, and the convention grew closer. No one had taken up the
request. Perhaps they had instinctively turned away, knowing the evil that this doll
would possess, even as a fake? Whatever the case, I had mentioned this not only to
the webmaster, but also my friends. Eventually, one of my friends had offered to make
the doll for me. After thanking him, he got to work on it.
Merely a few days before the convention, he sent the doll to me, spending much extra
to have it shipped in one day. When I finally had the box on my doorstep, and on my
lap, I believed things were finally going to go right for this convention.
The doll, although made lovingly, was of course not quite what I had expected. It did
not have the fluffy head that I remembered the terror having, nor the swaying double
tails. Being that my friend lacked the proper equipment to make it top-notch, it wasn't
exactly immaculate. But still, it was without a doubt the Tails Doll, with those dotted
eyes and the red ball on the top of it's head. I had been warned of it's instability, so I
had placed it upon my top shelf to keep it safe from the felines until I had taken off for
the convention.
The night upon receiving this doll, I had a terrible nightmare. This nightmare seemed
to be unrelated to the Tails Doll; instead, in this nightmare, I myself was abusing a cat
to near death. The next day, I couldn't even look at my two felines of which I held dear.
The rest of the week, nightmares haunted my sleep, though surprisingly, none were of
the Tails Doll. The nights I didn't dream at all were the only times I could rest easily.
And on top of this nightmare, my male kitten had also seemed to have fallen ill, though
the vet had said it was merely allergies. (This seems to be true, as many other pets
have been brought in with the same problem-- but I'm betting on thecurse more than
anything.)
When the convention came, it was a disaster. Absolutely nothing went right, such as
guests deciding not to show up; panels being hours late or canceled; even most of the
attendants and volunteers were in bad moods from day one. I wasn't to take the doll
with me until the second and third day, so the doll had stayed in the hotel room. When
it came time for me to take it with me, I found that the two tails had fallen off, and I had
decided not to take it. Perhaps this was a mistake, or the best decision I could make,
as that day had gone terribly as well aside from the events that the attendants
themselves had made. But yet again, nightmares were all that I knew at night.
We decided not to attend the third day, seeing how badly the convention was going. I
stayed home to take care of my ill kitten as well, yet things still weren't going right.
Every night from then has been filled with nightmares as well, and the one that
spooked me the most was one I had just two nights ago. I won't go into large detail, but
at the end, there was a battered man attacking piano keys who looked at me with
soulless eyes, much like the demon doll, almost as if saying "You're next." Strangely,
when I woke up barely breathing, I still heard that piano.
Even last night, I'd been haunted by nightmares, making me wake up many times
only to struggle back to sleep. Finally at 7am, I was able to sleep without dreams or
nightmares.
Whether this misfortune that seems almost unrelated is due to me owning that replica
of the demon or not, I felt the need to report it. There has been no mention of
"sunshine" thus far, but perhaps it is still related in some way.
But just those couple days ago, as I started making preparations to sew the tails back
onto the doll for future conventions, I tiredly wrote the last line in my journal for that
day:
"I just can't seem to feel the sunshine lately..."
-Kyasarin

This story comes from Ryuku, the poor guy....
This is the Tale of a boy. A boy, Who loved Tails, more than life.
This boy, The kid who loved Tails, just HAD to see if the Tails Doll was real. He
thought it looked so cuddly. So, even though he knew it would mean the end of him,
He learned how to use the Tails Doll as a lethal racing stuffed animal. He unlocked
The Tails Doll, the first chance he could. He did this, with Tails. This was the first sign
of trouble, but he ignored it. Once he unlocked the Tails Doll, he went to unlock Metal
knuckles, but when he went to choose a racer, Tails was replaced with the Tails Doll.
But the Tails Doll was in HIS Correct place, as well.
Being a lover of all things tails, he thought this was just a small glitch. Nevertheless,
he chose the Tails Doll that replaced Tails. When he unlocked the robots and the
Chaos emeralds, both of the Tails Dolls started to glow. He went to play the Radical
Emerald with the originally unlocked Tails Doll. This Tails Doll was fast. Really fast. So
fast, his computer crashed but even though his computer wouldn't respond, The Tails
Doll did.
He turned toward the screen, and flew out of it. The boy dove -- No, more like fell --
then scrambled out of the way. He managed to squeeze under his bed, but the Tails
Doll had already seen him. The Tails Doll, with super plushie strength, tossed the bed
aside. With a spring from the bed, he cut the boy's throat. The last thing the boy saw
was the Tails Doll grinning at him.
The boy's sister had heard the bed hit the wall and came running in. The Tails Doll
was ready for her. It had another bed spring. It forced it over her head, crushing the
skull, and onto her neck. Letting the spring release, it ripped her neck, barely leaving
her head hanging on. The Tails doll escaped into the city.
Half an hour later, The police and paramedics showed up. They managed to save the
boy, But not his sister. The boy's parents were out of town, so when they heard the
news They were devastated. The police report was as follows:
October 31'st, 2005.
In the Ismadi house, a young girl, named Gina was killed -- brutally murdered with a
bed spring. It, Was apparently forced over her head and onto her neck.
A boy, Ryuku, was almost killed by a bed spring, as well. His throat was cut by the
spring. The paramedics luckily managed to revive him. We believe it to be a botched
robbery. The rest of the report shall be filed after the investigation.

Masterweaver sends us another tales from the keepers of continuity, the Craids...
I am Masterweaver. I am a Criad. But today’s story is not mine. Today’s story was
wheezed to me by the dying gasps of a Tails Doll slave.
There was a little girl. What her name or her looks were like are unimportant, at least
for this tale. She was playing in the backyard, in the wraparound part by the side of
the house. She looked up. Hovering, not noticing her, an orange doll of a two-tailed fox
approached. She was not the least bit frightened; she had read fairy-tales, and weird
things always happened in them. So she spoke up.
“Hello. Will you be my friend?”
The thing paused, pivoting to face her. It had strangely vacant eyes and a single
antennae ending in a red gem.
There was a quiet moment as they contemplated each other.
“You offer to befriend me…willingly?”
The voice sounded wrong, but it would be rude to say so. “Yes. You see, everybody
thinks I’m weird because I hate pink even though I’m a girl.”
“Have you heard of… Sonic the Hedgehog?” An instinctive shudder rippled its body.
“No. Who’s he?”
The thing was silent.
“Well?”
The thing lifted a hand as if to rip her heart out, but stopped. She looked on
innocently.
“You offer to befriend me…Why?”
“Everyone needs a friend!”
From across the street, a tune from a video game floated.
“Can you feel the sunshine…”
At this point, the slave of the Tails Doll died. But before he did, he whispered an
address. I will not tell you what it is. I will only tell you what I found in that basement.
There was a transparent canister, filled with liquid and…another thing. What was once
warm, soft skin has become cold, but equally soft plush. The ears have grown long,
but the hair has fallen out. The hands are now spheres, and strange markings
decorate the face. A single antennae, ending in a blue gem, extends from the
forehead.
I draw my own conclusions.

Austin is back with a slightly eerie addition to her previous tale...
It's Austin again. After I showed you that story, my baby brother started growling and
saying, "DieDieDie". Plus, I was whatching this show about video game history, and
when it showed a dragon breathing fire, I thought I saw a gem thing in his fire. AND,
my brother was saying something like "Das Daw", which sounded a lot like "Tails Doll".
___________________________________________________________________
Chan, sends us this strange tale. Poor girl seems to have a connection or something
to the Tails Doll. Can she really be bound to this demon made of felt?
It all started with a site . . . This site.
But I do not blame the owners -- the tales warned me. I, however, do not stop when
someone tells me too. I do it, at my own accord. I'm don't heeding any warnings.
Back when I was clueless, I didn't know of the Tails Doll, and didn't know of the curses
people suffered. I didn't know, I just raced. I raced fast, and well, but never bothered to
try to find ways to unlock characters and special stages. I just enjoyed the game.
Sounds silly, especially now.
Well, I was a very large fan of the blue blur himself, Sonic the Hedgehog, then. Great,
great fan, though I didn't bother to collect the coins. As earlier, I just enjoy it as it
comes.
Well, I found millions of things on the web. Specifically Sonic stuff, sites, and freebies. I
joined forums (although, a little too many. ^^;;). I customized profiles and even had
several personal attempts, at a Sonic site.
One time I came across a link to this specific part of this site. The Sonic R curse, curse
of the Tails Doll, etc... That's what the description said.
I was surprised. Being naive, and sorta clueless at the time, I thought, "Hmm? Tails
Doll, Sonic R, secret character, curse? Interesting ," and clicked.
I was greeted with the older layout -- a giant picture of the Sonic (R) crew (with Sonic
R styled pictures) for a banner. Red and white text, and a long -- but very, shall I say,
interesting -- poem-ish introduction to the Tails Doll, and the curse of his haunts.
Stories - spooky ones - from different people, all the way down. I read them all, every
time I finished one, an amazing chill ran down my spine. The chill was one full of both,
excitement and fear. I adored the stories, believed in the curse, and loved the cute,
furry look about the Tails Doll. I also feared it. Every shiver I will ever have again will
be centered around the Tails Doll. Every jaw-drop, every tremble and sputter.
I finished the game finally. Every thought about every story whizzed through my mind
like a bee buzzing from flower to flower.
I had Gems.
I played.
But I did nothing.
But like some people, would it still come? Come to me? Come to get me? Would I hear
the dreaded 'schlumpy' and 'slurrpy' sounds? I was filled with wonder, and many
questions.
What if it's real?
I continued searching, looking at stories. Youtube, forums, sites, everything. I found
the same things, and many other things, too. Eye-ball eating, odd cures, escapes,
bloody murder, etc.
By now, I was freaked out, but life moves on. I stayed away, until one day, I was at my
Dad's, craving some Sonic R . The computer was on, as was the Google Search
Engine. I went there. I worked for a while on the curse, then gave it up.
However, I obtained . . .
Tails Doll.
And I'll tell you what . . .
Nothing happened.
A long while later, I completed the game, in every way. Still, nothing happened.
Not so much as a blackout, but I felt something. Not breathing.
I felt a 'presence'. A cold, black presence by my side. I could see it, though only with
my mind. It was there, I could see the image, the details, and the picture. It was
hovering. No one else could see it though. It was a blank spot.
But it was there.
I would not be affected, and it could not (or maybe wouldn't want to) hurt me. I just
stared, cold, limb, amazed. I've been able to sense it all the time, now. It edges me
towards the curse, and I follow - not blindly, but rather out of curiosity.
Ever sense, I could also tell if someone was mean or nice. Where spirits were, and
almost see them and what they did. It's so odd, so creepy. I hate it, and I love it all the
same.
I don't now what gave me the power. If it was birth, the Tails Doll, or whatever could
give one some odd powers.
Who knows?
Maybe Super Sonic has blessed me . . .
Because, now, when I try the curse to get the Tails Doll out, to ask it questions, to find
out meanings . . . He won't stop. He turns, swerves, and jumps away; I never catch
him. But I'm faster, stronger, I have more stamina, and I'm braver.
You know how I know? You know how you know?
I keep trying for the curse.
Wish me luck . . .

This particular tale comes from Spiff. Well, it's not a "tale" so much as it is a ceepy-
but-true story.
This is not a story but rather something creepy I wanted to tell you about. After seeing
your site, which is awesome by the way, I went to eBay to find a copy of Sonic R for
the computer so I could play it, and I came across a copy that had a "Buy It Now" of 1
cent and free shipping. I bought it and I have completed all of it but except the last
race against Super Sonic and the other robots. But I just cant stop thinking about that
seller on eBay. He was creepy and all the related sales were Tails plushies. No,
nothing like the Tails Doll. I mean like plush versions of Tails from Sonic X. Even
more so, the guy shipped over night and that would mean he lost a lot of money!
Not only that, but I have noticed in the game when unlocking the Tails Doll... He back
tracks a lot and sometimes stops on purpose. I swear I'm not even kidding and its
creepy o-o.
Ok that's all I wanted to tell you, but I am seriously not making any of that stuff up. I
just thought you would get a kick out of the irony of it.
Sincerely, Spiff
____________________________________________________________________
I just got a message from Cronic. No, not the drug. But according to this chap, it's
only the beginning of his tale. I wonder where he's going with this?
I was the first person in my street to get Sonic R, I played it day and night. My name?
Just call me Cronic for now. My favourite character to use was strangely the Tails doll!
Though I never had a run in with the so-called “curse,” until one late Sunday night, I
was completing Sonic R for the fifth time, when suddenly the game froze. It had never
done that before.
“What the?” I said.
I tried everything to get the game going again, and I mean everything. It was still
frozen, so I went to bed. It was 11 o’clock at night you see. I drifted off to sleep, but I
kept having horrible nightmares of me killing people, taking their souls. I woke up
when my mum came into the dream.
I got out of bed and looked out at the moon from my window.
"Man, I wish I could play Sonic R," I thought.
I got up and went down stairs to get a glass of water. When I was drinking, I saw two
large round eyes, like the Tails Doll’s.
I spat out the water and ran to the living room to look in the mirror. Everything was
normal, so I decided that to see if Sonic R was working. It was, so I started playing the
same race as when it had frozen. I was about to win when, guess what? It froze again!
But strangely with a picture of Tails doll FACING the screen, staring.
Then suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my hand. I looked at it. I did not believe my
eyes: my hand had stitches coming out from underneath the skin! My skin turned to
cloth - ORANGE cloth - I tried to go get help, but my legs wouldn’t reach the floor. I
was floating. I felt my head and discovered a red gem was on top of my head. I
practically went insane, from just seeing my reflection in the mirror………
I HAD BECOME THE TAILS DOLL……………………..
____________________________________________________________________
Oh, Rosiepower! She sent us this little tale, where she learned a bit too late that the
Tails Doll is no joking matter.
We thought it was just a big joke. A doll that eats souls and kills people? Yeah, right.
That was before 'it' happened.
Me and Rachel, my friend, thought it would be funny if we scared our friends into
thinking we wee servants of the doll, so we drew 'TD' on the back of our hands. I
added a bit of art to it, and drew blood drops on the letters. It worked and our friends
were really scared. We even set our ring tones to 'can you feel the sunshine' and
pulled pranks on everyone.
That was a BIG mistake.
One night, I slept over at Rachel's house, and we were discussing what our new prank
would be. I started playing Sonic R, and having completed the game, played as the
Tails Doll. Then we started mucking about yelling 'O great and powerful doll, what
should we do next?' Laughter turned into shock as the Tails Doll on the screen looked
at us and spoke.
"Pathetic mortals! If you wish so badly to be my servants then so be it!"
The mark of 'TD' then flashed on our hands and in an instant, became embedded into
our skin.
Everyday now we must find at least 6 souls for Master to feed on. Everyday we must
hide our mark and pretend 'He' doesn't exist. It is hard but we will cope.
'He' has told me to tell you this, but I have written it in story form so that the horrific
truth may stay a secret and prevent the pure-souled mortals from a gruesome and
bloody death, which would normally be inevitable if you don't believe.
Believe. For it might just save you.
It could have saved me...
____________________________________________________________________
Austin sends us this creepy query. My guess is that the answer is "yes."
Hello. Call me Austin. I think the Tails Doll might be cursing me. It all started a few days
ago. My friend ( that "Jordstarrun" dude) showed me your site. I thought it was pathetic
mish-mash. But then the two days later (today) I was woken up by my alarm clock.
Yet I went back to sleep. When I woke up it was almost 2 hours later. My Grandma told
me that my baby brother Aiden had a warm head and was throwing up A LOT. So after
school I come home emailing this to you. Could the Tails Doll be cursing me by
attacking my loved ones? I will keep you updated on this.
____________________________________________________________________
Poor Celebaby. She's now in clutches of the Tails Doll, and it looks like she's one of
the seven purest souls!
Hey, it's CeleBaby again. This time, I actually encountered him. Well, more like I'm held
captive by him.
Ever since the New Years caper, I've been searching bit by bit on him, but I decided to
give up and settle down for my final year of school.
It's been a bit depressing lately. Being back in school, had to break up with my
boyfriend and I only have a handful of friends left, one of which doesn't even listen to
me when I talk. I've really turned a lot to my Gamecube as being my salvation. Getting
home and booting it up just makes me grin again.
So lately I've been having so much fun playing with Chao on SA2B. If you've seen me
on the forums, you'll know that's true, with the pictures of my Chao.
Anyway, I got a bit bored doing the same missions over and over, so I decided to do
some old school. It's too bad I chose Sonic Gems over Sonic Mega Collection...
I selected Sonic R, but the usual loading screen didn't show.
Instead, my lamp flickered out and my TV went black.
I thought to myself, "Aw hell, a blackout." But I was wrong. Just before I could call to my
mom, an image appeared in the middle of my TV.
None other then the doll!
My heart began to pound, but he didn't come out or anything. He just bobbled up and
down. The words he spoke felt like they weren't even of this world.
"Found you."
I narrowed my eyes. "What do you mean 'Found me'?"
"Just what it sounds like. You're one of the seven purest souls I've been looking for."
Seven purest souls? Wasn't that what that guy Sam had mentioned in the stories? So
apparently I'm one of them?"
"Even through your depression, you still find ways to be positive. You're a mark of the
pure soul of wisdom. Now you are mine!"
"Forget it," I snapped. I wasn't about to sacrifice myself to a monster.
Little did I know the Tails Doll LOVES blackmail.
"So you won't help me, hm? Perhaps you need convincing...Bert! Show her our recent
victim!"
"Master Silver??" I shrieked. Indeed, the Neo Metal Sonic look alike appeared next to
the Tails Doll. And he was holding someone unconscious...
"God, no...why him, of everyone in the world...??" I screamed at my TV.
"Sorry CeleBaby..." Master Silver mumbled.
In Master Silver's clutches was my close friend, nicknamed Zeko. He and I were both
betrayed by my ex best friend and we had both grown especially close to the point of a
crush. But now...
I growled at the thought of someone very close to me in trouble because of me and
what's in me.
"What do you want of me, Tails Doll?"
"For now, I just want you to come to my lair. I don't have any use for just one or two of
the purest souls. I need all seven to unleash the true power..." Tails Doll's voice faded.
I hesitated. I still had so much to live for in this lifetime.
"Do it or he dies."
I looked up, furiously. "You'll set him free, if I come with you, right? No backstabbing?
Just set him free right now, and I'll..." I bit my tongue. "I'll go with you."
"Good girl." With that, Master Silver set Zeko down and he faded from view. I closed
my eyes and I felt myself being transferred.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a room that resembled my own, with the same
posters, stuffed animals and plushies, even the same Gamecube and games. I
opened the door and I saw dark hallways.
It's not too bad, but it's incredibly lonely here. Sure Master Silver and I are here and
we're friends, but I miss my mom and my other friends. I still get to go on the web with
the help of MS, but I can't use MSN, because I'm afraid of showing Tails Doll more
victims or use for blackmail.
Sometimes, I'm even stuffed in another room with that guy, Sam, who told everyone
about the seven purest souls. Tails Doll keeps trying to figure out how to use our
souls for his own power.
I don't know what will happen, but with the help of MS, I'll keep you updated.
~CeleBaby

Remember Bert? Well the Tails Doll does as well...
'Tis I, Bert again!
My apologies for what the Tails Doll said earlier. I should've shut off the internet
connection from the suit.
Anyways, the Doll recently said I was useless to him and got rid of me. I'm still alive,
just in the suit. Pretty scary looking, too. Gets me out of tests and assignments at
school.
On a related note, you should not be happy if the Doll gets rid of you. Your life will get
worse. Just because he has no use for you doesn't mean he won't haunt you.
I was playing my Pokemon Emerald version which I had sharked ("sharking" is a
reference to using a cheating device called a Gameshark to hack games. Go figure...)
so every time I held down R+A my Pokemon would gain 5000 experience points (it's
OVER FIVE THOUSAAAND!). However, when my Pokemon grew to the next level
(Level 68), it said "Tails Doll grew to level 666!". This really freaked me out. Tails Doll?
666!? What the--
I quit playing and watched TV. A new episode of Corner Gas was on. The program
info said the episode was number 666 and that the special guest was the Tails Doll. I
decided to watch the full episode, and the Tails Doll was nowhere to be found - not
even a cameo. Trust me, it wouldn't be THAT hard to spot the most evil thing on the
planet.
I still find references to 666 and the Tails Doll in contexts like computers, radio
stations, etc. So, if the Tails Doll has gotten rid of you, be afraid. Be very afraid.

This is new: A Tails Doll limerick, courtesy of Supercomputer276. Hopefully this
catchy little tune will help remind kids of the doom that awaits the players of Sonic R.
"We once knew this young kid named Fred
Who was usually right in the head
But he once went too far
Into Sonic R
And the next that we know he is dead."

Uh, oh! IPb0mb3r sends us this warning about the site. Have I doomed us all?
Please believe me! I loved your tales doll site and i know that people send in these
stories for fun, but something is wrong. Listen to this:
I was sitting in my dad's car, while he was in the apartment complex. I was totally
freaked out about the Tails Dolls stories. So, I'm sitting there trying to imagine what
that "schlummmpy" sound that kept getting described would be. (I have never seen let
alone played Sonic R) Either way, I suddenly hear a noise from behind me. It's hard to
describe it, but the best way I can thing of would be... "schlummmpy."
I looked in the car mirror and saw a red diamond-thing in the back seat. I turned
around, but the seat was empty.
I swear to God this is real! This is not one of the story that are normally uploaded. I
think it has something to do with your site, as if the Tails Doll is trying to get anyone
who wrote or read fan fic about it. SO PLEASE TAKE DOWN YOUR SITE! FOR
PEOPLE'S SAFETY. If you must upload this use my username IPb0mb3r. JUST TAKE
IT DOWN!

Kitty comes back to us, with yet another encounter....
One day after playing Sonic R, I watched "Cats and Dogs." But, the title was changed
to: "Tails Dolls and Humans." Wierd, huh? So I skipped the movie to when Mr. Tinkles
tells his cats to open the hatch to let mice out. But, instead he said: "You played his
game, and now he will play you." I stared at the screen. That definitly wasn't the
original line! A chill ran up my spine. After a few more lines of dialogue, Tinkles
said: "I'll give you your reward: Eternal life, though eternal death." I turned off the TV,
saying THIS MOVIE SUCKS!
As I left the room, I thought I saw the lifeless image of the Tails Doll on the TV screen.
I haven't watched the movie since.

Do you remember Shadow 6000? He's sending us more undercover info on the Tails
Doll. Can it be believed? Is there even one truth about the tails doll?
Hey, I don't have much time, but take this new info. The jewel on his head; it's a chaos
emerald. Also, I'm not on Earth. I'm not even in the milky way galaxy. Hell, I'm not even
sure if I'm in your universe. On another note, the Doll explained his existence to me.
Apparently, he is the god-figure of our universe. He controls time and space, not to
mention death. So, whether you play Sonic R or not, you'll meet him in the end. It's just
a matter of whether your soul's intact. Need to go, thanks.

Sonic the Shapeshifter sends us this excellent (and rather lengthy) story. The Tails
Doll's Army is growing, indeed.
I laughed when I read the stories. I’d heard about the Tails Doll before, and became
curious. One day I Googled the Tails Doll, and found the site.
The site with the stories.
The site that would doom me, forever.
“If you beat the game Sonic R, 100%, then tag supersonic with the Tails Doll, the Tails
Doll will come out of the screen and A.) Eat your soul, B.) Kill you/your friends/your
family, or C.) Run away because your soul is too pure.” That’s what I got out of the
stories. And I honestly thought it was a joke.
Until it happened.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
I should start from the beginning.
My friends call me Sonic, because I run fast like him. But don’t get confused about my
gender- you see, I’m a girl. I embrace the nickname openly, and sometimes even
prefer that name to my true one, seeing as I’m a lot like the blue blur in personality.
You may not believe me when I say this, but then again, you may not believe in the
curse (I pity you, you poor fool), but I am a shapeshifter. Yes, it sounds bizarre. I’ve
had this power since I was born. I discovered it after dreaming one night of changing
shape and becoming different animals, only to wake up as a small fox. It was a weird
dream. I can also become animals that are said not to exist, like dragons or unicorns;
my ability is not simply limited to animals normally seen.
Anyway, I had just finished reading volume 5 of the Tails Doll Curse stories, chuckling
to myself at how ridiculous they sounded. I know, a shapeshifter thinking of a curse as
ridiculous and untrue. But for me it’s quite natural.
I had received a GameCube a few years ago from my brother, and had since bought
Sonic Gems Collection which came with Sonic R on it. On the site it had said the
GameCube version was safe, but other stories I’d read had proved otherwise. Or so
they said. I decided I’d beat the game, 100%, too, and tag Super Sonic with the Tails
Doll, just to prove to myself and anyone else I met that it was 100% fake.
I was such a fool.
I unlocked all of the characters except for Super Sonic and the Tails Doll. Finally I
found all of the tokens and Tails Doll came up to race. I wanted to get him so I could
complete the curse, so, with my character (Tails) I took off like a rocket! And it just
stood there. I quickly got halfway around the course from the doll and began
wondering if there wasn’t something to this curse after all. It was as though it wanted
me to win, with how slow the darn thing was. And after I’d gotten all the Chaos
Emeralds and unlocked Super Sonic, I’d had a devil of a time trying to catch him with
my Tails Doll. But eventually he tripped up and I did.
I was alone in the house when I did that. It was quite stupid of me, really. I should’ve
had someone there to help me out if it was true. In the end, I guess I could’ve had the
entire neighborhood with me and it wouldn’t have helped me a bit.
The T.V. and my GameCube shut off when I caught Super Sonic with the Tails Doll.
I started to get up and turn the console and television back on again when suddenly
the Tails Doll flickered on the screen. Its face was covered in shadow. Slowly it looked
up at me with those big, button eyes.
And for the first time in my life, I was truly scared.
I whirled around, beginning to turn into a wolf. I sprouted a tail and my ears changed
quickly, but I wasn’t fully changed when I discovered it was behind me. It sprang at me
with inhuman strength and speed, battering every inch of my body. I didn’t even have
time to react. Any of my struggles against it only made it hit me back with ten times the
force. It hurt me so bad I thought I was going to die. And I wondered why it wasn’t
trying to eat my soul, which was the first thing the Tails Doll ever did, according to the
stories. Finally it battered me so much that I became unconscious.
When I woke up, I lay where I’d fallen on the floor. But it was as if time stopped. All I
heard was a faint melody.
“Can you feel the sunshine…does it brighten up your day…don’t you feel that
sometimes, you just need to run away…away…away…”
The acid remix. I’d downloaded the song to my computer a few days before, after
reading the stories. I felt something rough, like sandpaper, which was slightly wet,
moving methodically over a cut on my ribs. Fear paralyzed me when I slowly looked
back to see the Tails Doll licking up the blood from the wound. It continued to lick the
wound, oblivious or simply ignoring the fact that I’d woken up. I watched it stop, lick
one of its paws, then wipe its paw on the open wound. The wound disappeared before
my eyes. I couldn’t believe it. It was healing me? Why?
I noticed that the lower half of my body appeared healed too. The pain remained
though, so I couldn’t move without feeling a searing pain sear through my body. My
neck started to hurt. I turned so I was facing the way I’d fallen, letting my head rest on
the floor. The Tails Doll moved up my body, healing all of the wounds after drinking
some of my blood from those wounds, until finally it chomped upon my wolf ear, which
it had partially bitten off when it was beating me up. It slowly pulled its muzzle off of my
ear, and the ear was actually restored. I’m not kidding. It healed every wound it
inflicted upon me. Believe it or not, it didn’t hurt my not-so-public areas, so I didn’t
have to worry about that.
Although I was now fully healed, the pain was still keeping me from moving. I was at its
mercy. The Tails Doll moved to my face now, and looked directly into my eyes.
Although I hated to show any weakness to this heartless creature, I couldn’t help but
whimper when I looked into its button eyes.
“I can kill you now…” It said, its mouth unmoving. Its voice scared me. “Or you can join
me. Which do you choose?”
I hated him. I hated him as much as I hated his creator, Eggman. Maybe even more.
The Tails Doll placed his foot on my neck. I had to choose now. If I didn’t, I knew it’d
press down and snap my neck in two.
I didn’t want to join him, but I didn’t want to die either! Life was too much fun! And,
although the phrase had been used so many times it had become cliché, I was too
young to die. And if he let me live, I might be able to learn his weakness and destroy
him someday.
“Yes…” I growled.
It knew what I meant. If it knew what I was thinking, it didn’t care. Instead, it took its foot
off of my neck and floated above the floor beside me. It still stared into my eyes. I
wondered if it was sucking out my soul. I didn’t feel like it was being sucked out, but,
having never experienced having my soul taken out before, I couldn’t be sure.
Then I began to feel kind of faint, and I decided that he probably was devouring my
soul. Suddenly the Tails Doll stopped staring into my eyes and backed away for a
moment, shaking its head. It came forward again to stare into my eyes, and I began to
feel like fainting again, but as soon as I’d start feeling that, it would break off eye
contact and back off, shaking its head. I felt confused and wondered if the Tails Doll
did this every time it devoured a soul, when I began to hear it cussing angrily, its
carefully stitched mouth unmoving as it began to speak.
“Stupid angelic shapeshifter. I should have known that you, a magical being, would
have only the purest of souls.” The Tails Doll hissed, “Of all of the souls I’ve seen or
eaten, yours is the purest of the pure, even purer than the last one I came in contact
with. You are the only being on this planet that stands in my way of ruling this pathetic
world. Why, I should just kill you now!”
I squeezed my eyes shut and braced myself for the killing blow, knowing that there was
nothing I could turn into to save myself if it really wanted to kill me. But the blow never
came. I opened one eye to look up at it timidly, then relaxed my aching muscles and
opened the other eye, looking up to see the Tails Doll floating beside me silently,
apparently thinking, the red jewel above its head bobbing from side to side like the
lure of an angler fish. It began to speak again.
“On the other hand, you may be of more use to me alive than dead.” It murmured in its
cold voice, “Yes, I shall let you live for now. Having a slave with the purest soul in
existence on my side would be much better than letting you go free to fight me, and if I
killed you and released your soul, what’s to say your soul won’t stick around to
destroy me? Yes…I shall keep you alive…you will not be allowed to die…”
Hearing that gave me the slightest comfort, knowing he wasn’t going to murder me as
he had done with others. It ticked me off to hear him openly call me a slave, but there
was nothing I could do about that. But I wondered about how he said I wouldn’t be
allowed to die. One day I’d grow old and die- that happened to everybody- how could
he keep me from dying then? When the answer struck me, I tried to get away, despite
the intense, fiery pain that shot through my body at getting up, if only to get on all
fours, but it slammed me back to the ground and tore a hole in the sleeve of my shirt.
And then it bit me. I let loose a long, loud howl of pain as it sank its teeth deep into my
bicep. I couldn’t help but mentally curse whoever gave the Tails Doll those sharp
pointy teeth. It felt like forever before the Tails Doll took its teeth out of my arm. I
clutched it in pain; it felt like it was on fire. The fiery feeling quickly spread to the rest
of my body, making me involuntarily flail about like a fish out of water.
The Tails Doll appeared smug. “The venom is spreading through your body at high
speed. You are immortal, like me. Now there is no threat of you dying, unless you are
killed. And I will not let anyone kill you. Now you are mine, forever.”
It stayed by my side until finally I stopped thrashing. “I didn’t know you could do that!” I
said angrily.
“I don’t display all of my abilities at once, and I never needed to use it before now.”
The Tails Doll replied, watching me carefully.
“I hate you!” I hissed, not caring if he hit me again. If he killed me, fine, he’d already
revealed to me that I could come back as a spirit to destroy him.
“Don’t vex me, girl, I said I won’t kill you, but I can beat you until you’re a centimeter
from death.” The Tails Doll threatened.
I fell silent, glaring at him.
The jewel sprouting from the Tails Doll’s head began to glow brightly, so bright that I
was forced to close my eyes. When I opened them again, I found myself in a sort of
giant birdcage, the Tails Doll standing outside of it.
“There is also a sort of force field surrounding the edges of this cage. Don’t even try
to escape. It’s impossible.” The Tails Doll said, then left the room.
He kept me there as a prisoner for the next few weeks, usually just to watch me, just to
make sure I was still there. There was indeed a force field, which kept me trapped
within the stupid cage which I quickly learned to hate. If I touched it I’d be thrown back,
into the middle of the cage. I finally stopped trying, lying around the middle of the
metal cage the whole day, all hope of escaping gone. Usually the Tails Doll would
have one of his older slaves bring me food and water- if he didn’t feed me I would die,
being immortal simply meant that I wouldn’t die of age. Today was no exception. This
time it was a girl younger than me, though. She seemed to be maybe seven or eight.
The Tails Doll hadn’t told any of the other people he’d captured that I was a
shapeshifter. Apparently he didn’t feel the need to explain about me to his “pathetic
slaves” as he sometimes referred to them.
Anyway, this was a new girl who’d never seen me before and didn’t know why I was
held separate from the others.
This had to be one of the Doll’s newer captives, as she still asked questions. Usually
the Tails Doll would break them of that the moment they questioned anything about
him.
She set down the food tray outside the door on the panel that let the food pass
through the force field. I came over to eat it, knowing that if I didn’t eat it, the Tails Doll
would come and force it down my throat.
“Why are you in here and not with the rest of us?” She asked timidly.
Immediately I saw a way to get my freedom.
“Because I can kill the Tails Doll,” I whispered to her, “He keeps me in here because
he knows that if I get out, I can destroy him. All you have to do to let me out is open
that door.”
The little girl became excited, but then her enthusiasm dimmed. “Where’s the key?”
she asked.
“It’s right over there, hanging on a peg in the wall.” I said, pointing at it. The Tails Doll
kept it there to tease me, I think. Let me see the key to freedom so far out of reach, to
tell me that there was no way I’d ever get out.
The little girl darted over to the key, but she couldn’t reach it. She was too small.
“I can’t reach it.” She said sadly.
“Don’t give up, just- um- climb up the wall!” I suggested.
The little girl pried her fingers into the cracks of the wall and managed to climb up
quite a way. I wondered if she climbed on rock walls a lot before she was taken by the
doll. She released the wall with one hand and grabbed the key, then fell painfully onto
her side on the floor. For a second I worried that she might’ve been knocked out by
the fall, but then I saw her get back up. She must have really wanted me to kill the
Tails Doll. She ran over and inserted the key into a panel on the door of the cave,
opening the lock and swinging the door open. The force field disintegrated as soon as
the key turned in the lock.
Without a moment’s hesitation I leapt through the door and turned into a dragon,
blasting through the place as fast as I could go. Those moments of destroying things
in my path to escape are all a blur now. All I remember is finally breaking through to
the outside, and flying up, up, up, soaring to freedom! I don’t think I’ve ever been
happier in my life than to escape that horrible place.
I feel bad for the little girl, I hope the Tails Doll didn’t kill or hurt her too much for
helping me escape, but I had to get out of there while I still had a chance to make a
difference. I’m constantly on the move now, making plans and trying to figure out what
the Tails Doll’s weakness is. Research says the jewel on his head is where he draws
his power from, so next time I face him that’s the first place I’ll strike, maybe if I pull it
out he’ll die.
I have to go now, if I stay and write much longer he’ll catch me again and put me back
in that dreaded prison I escaped from. I sense him drawing nearer.
Until next time,
Sonic the Shapeshifter

This quickie comes from someone named Kitty Cat, and the Tails Doll knows that
there's more then one way to skin her...
Hello my name is Kitty Cat. And I have a tale to tell...
One day when I was playing Sonic R, I finished it 100%, saved, and went to school. A
few hours later when I came back, I saw the house was all RED!
I went in. Blood was every where! On the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. I screamed in
horror. I ran to my room. The tails doll turned it's head at me, looking like it wanted my
soul -- and it did! So I ran as fast as I could to get out of there. I ran all the way to my
friend Jack's house. Tears steaming from my eyes, he said "What's the matter?"
I said, "THE TAILS D-D-D-DOLL IT'S HERE!" I hugged him tightly. Don't worry, he said.
I calmed down. He helped me do my homework. It was math. Later I said "good bye" to
him. I couldn't explain why, but I asked if he could "feel the sunshine?"
He looked at me strangely, and said, "good bye!" So I went home again. Soon I was
feeling weak. I tried running. But, I was slow. Again I was weaker and weaker. Soon I
could not move. Then I heard a terrible sound... SCHRUUUUMPY.
I fell to the ground. I felt the life draining from me. The Tails Doll was in my backpack
the whole time...

Masterweaver sends us this strange (even by this site's standards) yarn. It's a great
read, though, and given the shear amount of oddity is this world, whose to say they're
not telling the truth?
My name is Masterweaver. I am a Criad. I keep the stories running right, so Aragorn
doesn't get swamped by dimension-hopping fangirls, or Mario does not encounter the
borg. This is my job, and my passion.
It also means I've done some things I regret.
Contrary to popular belief, THE Tails Doll is not the only tails doll, nor even the first.
There was one of them in the game Tails Adventure, though radically different and
under another name. Mecha Tails, as it was called, had a far different purpose than
that of its doppelganger down the line. It was designed as a cheery, helpful assistant
to the fox, arranging new paths for him to walk on. Harmless and, in fact, friendly.
How it escaped from the games, I don’t know. That’s not my concern, but the
department of glitch-treks. However, I was the closest Criad at the time. No
records show whether it was supposed to be there, so I was assigned the duty of
making sure he did not truly interfere with time. For about a week, I managed to
hide it from everyone, whilst hiding myself from it. Such is my life. Such it will always
be.
Then it found a working internet connection. And googled “Mecha Tails.” From there,
it heard of THE Tails Doll. And it hit google.
And learned.
And loathed.
Somehow, it managed to get a hold of Sonic R. It placed the CD in a shrine. And it
waited in front of the shrine for three whole days. With a rifle.
The Tails Doll did not come.
Mecha Tails was a smart creature. It learned. And so, in order to summon and
slaughter the Tails Doll, it placed the game on the doorstep of a child. I did nothing.
The game was recorded as ending up there, and now I knew why. Mecha Tails waited.
I watched.
It still had the rifle.
Finally, THE Tails doll appeared. He was floating slowly down the street, as though he
had all the time in the world. He was coming for the child. As he had come before, as
he would come again.
Only this time, Mecha Tails raised the rifle and fired.
If it had hit its target, time and space would have gone askew. Horribly, terribly
destroyed. But it was in that moment I landed on Mecha Tails, at that moment
he was terminated. The bullet whizzed harmlessly past Tails Doll’s ear.
With its last crackle, Mecha Tails looked at me and asked, “What kind of monster are
you?”
I pondered. “Fate.”
The Tails Doll floated over. “You saved my life. Why?”
I could not tell him that it was my job. I turned back to him and said, “You should
wither, not merely die.”
He nodded. “Remember that when I find you.” He floated through the window. I
watched what he did.
If I ever receive a copy of Sonic R, it will only be a matter of time before I finish at one
hundred percent. When he comes, I will be ready.
I am a Criad. I keep the stories in check. No matter how dark they are.

Dimented sends us this tragic tale. He sees the Tails Doll everywhere he looks, and
yet no one believes him. At least here, we know he's not crazy. At least, not any
crazier then the rest of us.
My name is "Dimented."
I had a perfect life, and that doll ruined it:
I got Sonic gems for the gamecube. I loved it. Within a week or so I had compleated
nearly every game(yes every one). I was in bed one night when I swear I saw that
damned Gem. I was scared stiff!
I looked up the doll on the web and found this site and a few others. I told my friends
and they said: "You play too many video games" and "what are you smoking". In a
month or so of trying to convince them, they thought I was crazy and forgot about me.
Everyone at my school thinks I'm crazy. I'm not. I have seen the doll more times than I
can count. My only friends now are: My pet Bird and a few very good friends that I met
on another Tails Doll site.
PS: Thank you: Rush Moonlight and Miot, my best friends.

A little while back I received an email form "Gailnico321." There's not much there, but
it appears to be from one of the TD's servants. From the looks of it, his master's not
very happy.
Hello, I am a fellow servant from the Tails Doll -- more on that in my next submission. I
need to tell you something: that red Jewel on his head? Well, it is used to drain the life
force from its own victim, he needs that jewel! Take it away, and he will be
defenseless! I need to tell you more later, just need to hit send. If he catches me, I'll
be downgraded into a simple pure soul finder.
No more ;kjbbnuivhfpq grhh shlumpy….
End transmission. Gailnico321 will be… offline for a while. Now just, delete this
message like it never happened.
(Hey, guys. It's me. Quacker. I wondered what happened to this poor dude. Then, I
checked my inbox, and found this story, from the same address. Could this be his
history, revealed? What prompted that glimmer of remorse in his previous work?)
I was on my way to school when I saw a tiny red Jewel near a bush. I held it up in front
my best friend, and his soul came out of him, like a glittering blue star! I watched in
horror as the soul went inside the jewel. A thought struck me: Could this jewel belong
to the Tails Doll?
The world grew dark, and my question was answered.
"ThAt’S mY jEwEl YoU iNsOlEnT sLaVe!"
I merely told him that I got the soul of my best friend on accident. He said, “Excellent! A
soul of a mortal bound to someone’s closest friend is a tasty meal indeed. YoU Will bE
a GrEAt ToOL."
Right in front of everyone, he put me into the sealed doll-cloak. I now had all of his
powers. "dEsTrOy tHeM aLl," he commanded.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! VeNgEaNcE!!!!! CRASH!!!! At that moment, it seemed like a million
souls were screaming and yelling!
Now, everyone I cherished is gone. I will seek out and destroy all those that hurt the
Tails Doll, now and forever more. Will I find anyone who dares to defy me?
SHCLUMPY!!!

Do you remember Shadow 6000 (see Vol. 7) who sent us a letter from the Doll, saying
that it just wanted to be our friends? I said it was a trap, and guess what this new alert
tells us? IT WAS A TRAP!
He lied! I'm sure I'll get punished for this, but he was lying! I'm lucky to get enough time
to write this, but shortly after he finished writing the last email, he said something
along the lines of, "Damn tradition," and encouraged me to play Sonic R since the
curse wasn't real. Well, I trusted him at this point, so I let him go and proceeded
to unlock Mecha Knux, since that was the character I always left so I
wouldn't be cursed.
It wasn't long before I had the game 100% complete. I was about to go to Resort Island
and try out Mecha Knuckles, but I started to hear a tapping, like that I heard on the
Tails Doll's first visit. I let him in through my window expecting a friendly conversation.
However, this wasn't the case. He looked me in the eye and said, "So, you believes
Tails Doll? Good, I has trust then. You'll live, for that act of kindness towards me. But
we's got to go. Slave."
I hesitated. In his eyes, I could see no fear, no remorse, and I couldn't tell if he was
lying or kidding from his monotone voice. Eventually "Can You Feel the Sunshine"
started playing. I was filled with fear, so I left with him. "Good," he said. "You makes
good choices, doesn't you?"
We walked ( no, I walked, he hovered) for about seven miles. After that, I was
expecting the ground to open up or something like that. But he said, "The jewel on my
head, remove it." I did as I was told, and in a second, the doll was gone. I was really
afraid then. But I then heard a voice in my head utter the words, "Chaos control!"
Instantly, we were gone, to some strange place. It was quite cosmic. "Drop the jewel."
Once again doing as I was told, I carefully set the jewel down. The moment I
relinquished it, he appeared once again, dangling from the small jewel. "We of the
nonliving cannot harness Chaos Control without a host. I'm glad to be apart from that
world again... You noticed my grammar was hideous? Yes, a side effect of
being non-sentient in a living world. You will have power, for helping me. Zeph!"
Zeph, where had I heard that name...
"What pure souls do you require, my master?"
That's it! The Tails Doll's collector of pure souls, from your site! "None today, my loyal
servant. You are to make this soul comfortable. He has done a great deal for me."
"But his soul... it's so pure... Couldn't you devour it and become
omnipotent once more, my master?"
"That's hardly your business, slave! Do as you are told!"
Make me comfortable? What a sick way to say what was done. I was set on a throne. I
was given a staff. I was given the power to see pure souls. And I was told to judge
souls brought in by slaves. I was told to torture the souls of slaves who brought in
impure souls with the staff.
Damn, I've got to go now. It won't be long before the slaves start to return. In closing,
yes, you were right. It was a trap.
