The only thing I love as much as jewels are myself, as my beauty is the only thing that comes close to their brilliant luster. However, while diamonds are forever, I'm not. I know my looks will fade and my body will eventually become ill-fit for proper treasure hunting.

However, during my down time I was investigating rumors of a compound found in a spray bottle called "Permaflate" which could turn anything it was sprayed onto into a hollow rubber inflatable version of itself, similar to that of a pool toy or a bounce castle.

But upon further research, I found it could even be used on organic beings to permanently change them into fully sentient inflatable beings made of living rubber. Not only would they still be able to move, but they'd gain the ability to change their size, gain ridiculous durability, gain the ability to regenerate/reform from damage, and most importantly... they'd cease aging!

My search led me to finally finding the only known bottle of "Permaflate" spray in the world. I immediately sprayed myself with its contents, and just like that, I changed...

In just mere seconds, my entire being became made of living rubber with my clothes and makeup being part of my new body. My insides disappeared and became replaced with air, while an oral inflation valve appeared on my right hip.

My body was filled with so much air and so elastic that it actually changed shape. I went from a 3ft 5in bat to a full blown 6ft tall with exaggerated proportions. I look down, admiring my new measurements and my shiny rubber skin.

It was then I finally noticed you. I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I look at you with a smug smirk embedded on my face.

"Sorry sugar, but you're too late. The Permaflate spray is mine, and as you can see I already used it."

I struck a pose and winked at you. Normally this is when I'd make my escape, but I figured I'd have fun with you first and test my new abilities...
