{Nexus} GLoG LXXX: The Continuation of a New Era!

[Rowan Cabin]

Ericka 'murr's and resumes her attempts at transforming, still feeling rather upset about the muzzle, if nothing else.

this time, she centers herself a bit more, focusing and concentrating better, and it'll go off with only one flaw, which thankfully is a non critical one that she can quickly correct.

Eric, back in his male body, still doesn't look particularly happy at the moment.

Rowan Cabin

Julie steps back, not liking the look of that glower. Guilt wells up in her throat, and she looks at the floor, shamefaced.

"You understand why I had to do it that way, right? At least tell me you understand. I... the way I learned was much, much worse than that Eric. That was the closest thing I could bear to put you through in place of that." Jakob was not a nice teacher, or a very good one, despite how much he adored his favorite sister. Still, she had wanted to learn, begged him in fact, and he'd eventually given in and taught her the only way he knew how.

Through pain.

"Just... try your best to change back, a bit faster this time if you can, and I'll go about fixing you, okay? Then I'll get out of your hair for a while, I promise." Best to just let him cool off after doing what she promised to do in the first place.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric shakes his head, "No, it's fine. The issue was that you made it so that I couldn't talk. I'm not going to get mad at you for doing something you told me you'd do anyways, but that was too much, alright?" He takes a heavy sigh. The way his mind works, he doesn't hold grudges. He nearly can't hold grudges, so with Julie feeling guilty he's not really angry any more.

Julie gives a coy smile, not quite shaking off her guilt, "Then the next thing we'll have to work on is some telepathy, so you can speak without speaking again. That might be a bit easier, to be honest." Julie attempts to make contact with Eric's mind once more, All I have to do is teach you how to initiate a conversation, rather than be a passive participant. Still, you should change back to Ericka for now, so I can fix you up however you wish.

[Darklord Bright]

Dock by the Lake

"If you'd like, as you're undead, I might be able to teach you my way of fishing. Unless you need to breathe?" Myrim needs to breathe, but can also breathe water. It should work, although Annabelle may need to be cautious of fish thinking she's a decomposing body they can nibble on.

Dock by the Lake

Annabelle thinks about this for a moment. She seems to like taking a few seconds to think about things during conversations.

"MAYBE ANOTHER TIME. I THINK I SHOULD GO. I'LL JUST - " she grabs one of the fish from the box, "- MAYBE TAKE THIS FISH?"

She tilts her head, hoping that's okay.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Right Eric says, and sets about concentrating again. It won't be as long this time, but nowhere near an instant shift.

Rowan Cabin

Better. I think you're getting the hang of this. Alright, let me undo my little mishap, and then you can tell me what you really want, no more being wishy washy. Julie will work as fast as she can to put Ericka back to rights, without exhausting herself again. Soon, she'll be back to a normal, if still rather heavy and sore around the chest, welf.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Ericka nods, "Well, I'd rather be something other than a wolf, you know? Do you have any animals you like?"

[happyturtle]

[Forest Hut]

Renetta nods. "I want to do it. For her, and for you." She's determined, though not without her worries. It's a pretty huge change after all. Her life has already changed completely, though, so what's a bit more for the better?

As the decision is spoken, the light in the hut grows warmer, visually and thermally, and the two - three - people in the hut will begin to feel tingling start inside and flash towards the skin in the time it takes Renetta to take a breath. The transformation is over too quickly for discomfort. There is no reshaping of mass or growing of fur, just a feeling that the new body needs to be stretched and warmed up. The baby responds by waking up and moving around, then getting a little grumpy at the lack of space to do anything besides kick and push. Which she does somewhat enthusiastically.

Have no fear. She's in no distress. The voice will be heard by Waterstrider and Renetta both, and also by the baby, who stops a moment when she speaks, before returning to her exercises.

[Slii Arhem]

[Rowan Cabin]

Ericka nods, "Well, I'd rather be something other than a wolf, you know? Do you have any animals you like?"

Rowan Cabin

Julie gives her answer some thought. Personally, she rather liked the expressiveness of Eric's new canine features, since she could always tell when he was excited about something. Still, this was about him, and she knew from experience laying on a tail could hurt.

"I've always been partial to ferrets, but that wouldn't be much of a difference, visually. Whatever you feel comfortable with, my love." Julie feels... surprisingly comfortable calling Eric that. It's odd, and the fact that she's okay with it confuses her.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric thinks about if for a while longer. He has a lot of options available to him, and could in fact choose things that aren't animals for bits and pieces and the like. like... demons...

"Julie, what would you feel about me being a bit demonic? Just thinking aloud, you don't have to do that if you don't want to." Eric will also move over to Julie so that they can lay next to each other.

They're still naked, aren't they?

[Slii Arhem]

Rowan Cabin

Julie thinks about it, and gets a wistful smile, "Superficially? I think a little bit of demon would look cute on you. Of course, there are nearly as many different demons as there are animals, so there would still be some choosing to do. You could look nearly as normal as I do, or go for macho imposing behemoth, although if you choose that I'll have to giggle at you mercilessly, sug." She knows guys who are into the bodybuilding thing, but she didn't really think Eric was one of them. Even imagining his gentle face on top of a massive muscular body is enough to send her into fits of hysterics.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Ericka thinks about that for a short while, "Ok, how about this; normal human-ish ears and sharp teeth, a few of which stick out as you please." She motions towards her face as she does this, "Also, red eyes. Always felt red eyes looked cool. And a couple little horns, of course." Gotta have horns *nod* "Beyond that, decrease my bust and go wild. Whatever demon traits you find attractive."

Gotta have horns *nod* "Beyond that, decrease my bust and go wild. Whatever demon traits you find attractive."

Rowan Cabin

Julie resists the urge to do something really nasty, knowing that now isn't the time, and she doesn't have the energy for it anyway.

"Alright then, just sit back and let Julie take care of you my darling Eric." Julie begins slowly, with the most delicate part by shaping the wolfen ears back into a more human shape. It will leave Ericka temporarily deaf, but Julie is well practiced with this, and soon puts her back to rights. Next, the pigment in the eyes is easily changed, a dark red bleeding through Ericka's normal hue. The wolf-like fangs slim, and extend slightly, and other teeth farther back become more pointed as well, leaving only a few at the very back for grinding. A slight overbite ensures that a few canines will peek out adorably over her bottom lip.

Speaking of lips, Julie decides to fill them out a bit while she's working, making them slightly more pouty, just to appeal to her aesthetics. If Ericka notices or minds, the succubus is sure she'll ask for them to change back.

In what may be painful at first, a pair of pearly white keratin horns worm their way out of Ericka's forehead, spaced just above the blood red eyes. They're about a half inch long, with blunted tips.

Working downwards, the bust decrease happens, although Julie leaves the active milk ducts as they agreed upon. Now they're merely slightly smaller than average, compared to their previous size.

The next thing she works on is the hands, adding retractable claws underneath Ericka's fingernails, a very handy feature that Julie didn't often use herself.

Finally, she comes to the tail, which she strips of fur and smooths into a pale, fleshy cylinder, topped with a flattened, heart-shaped spade. The entire thing is very sensitive to the touch.

"Phew. That about does it. I'd give you a nice set of wings, but they're a pain to sleep with, and I don't think I've got the strength to make them functional." All in all, Ericka should shape up to be a rather cute demonic elf, although not a drop of real demon blood runs in her veins. The changes are purely superficial.

"Go ahead and try changing again, alright?"

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Ericka will barely even react to the pain in her forehead when the horns come out. Considering she had migraines most of her life, pain tolerance is something she developed quite well.

She reaches up to her new horns and feels them out, liking the idea of having them. Also, the teeth. She certainly likes the teeth, and clicks her new claws against them just because. she does not notice the pouty lips just yet. Next she moves her tail about, testing how flexible it is, and ending up wrapping it around her arm twice, "Prehehnsile, cool."

Ericka will then center herself and focus, before shifting back to male after a couple minutes. Any particular changes here that aren't included with the female form?

[Slii Arhem]

Rowan Cabin

Well, the pouty lips didn't carry over, and the was no need to reduce his chest size in this form, but Julie managed to work all the other changes on both bodies, to save her time and effort. In addition, she went the extra mile to give herself some eye candy in this form, in the form of a small set of abs and a perfectly sculpted rear end.

Hopefully Eric won't mind too much, as she runs the back of one hand down his torso and reaches around with the other to play grabass.

"You know, we should probably go check on Keo, if she's still out there. Little girls seeing things like that should be comforted, don't you think?"

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric runs his hands down his chest and stomach, and grins playfully when Julie grabs his rear, "Well now, I certainly can't complain about this." he closes in to Julie for a kiss, which will likely feel interesting with the little teeth there, "And yeah. Little kitty may have short circuited from all she saw." so he'll go to start putting on some clothes.

Julie may notice that as he's putting on his clothing, he'll rub his tail a few times. Feels nice.

Rowan Cabin

Julie will dress as well, smiling as he rubs the tail. Jackpot.

"Just be nice to Keo alright? She's a little backwards, but she was separated from her tribe when she came here, and I think she's having a hard time adjusting." There's a switch, Julie is the one telling Eric to be nice.

Once they're both dressed, Julie will take a brief moment to check on the kids before heading out into the living room, where the couch and all the boxes are. Hopefully she can find Keo here, and explain things just a bit.

[Lost_Deep]

Rowan Cabin

Okay, so you know how many empty boxes there were? Apperantly Keo recovered, and made a box fort.

It's extensive.

After a moment, a pair of blue circles will peer out of what is presumably the entrance.

[Lex-Kat]

[Andy's Room 2}

Assuming Vincent just follows, due to his last action I go describe the place.

When enter his Room the groupe eill arrive in Opartion Room. In the mid lays a bank great enougth for most races to lay down. On the walls hang several Tools for medicin adn elektronikal use. The Room and all tools seem to be cleaned and cared.

After all Andy will head to a side room. In this room are several armchairs, strang is 3 of them are placed in a circle while another one stands on a wall. On a small table stand a pot of tee and three cups.

Andy offers them two of the seats and then heads for the last one.

"Private enougth?" he asks gently.

Vincent nods and takes a seat.

Caroline likewise nods and takes a seat. When Vincent doesn't talk, Caroline tries to elbow him. Go ahead, Vincent. Tell him. she whispers.

[Reinholdt]

{Andy's Room 2}

Vincent sighs a bit, not sure what Caroline even wanted to ask exactly.
"So... Caroline used to be my age and we're girlfriend-boyfriend and then she grew up and I don't grow up and a part of her doesn't like that and I want her to be happy, so I figured maybe I'd do what she did and grow up too, but it wouldn't be for me, it'd be for her cause it never really bothered me before and so we wanted an adult to tell us what to do." He probably breaths in there somewhere.

[Sunning Rock]

One kitty Reinholdt, without a rifle, is sunning here. Purr purr.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric looks at the box fort and very nearly giggles. He's done similar things in the past, when his dad worked in a warehouse and brought him to work when he was really little.

"Keo, is that you peeking out? How you doin' little kitty?"

[The Bushranger]

Dock by the Lake

Annabelle thinks about this for a moment. She seems to like taking a few seconds to think about things during conversations.

"MAYBE ANOTHER TIME. I THINK I SHOULD GO. I'LL JUST - " she grabs one of the fish from the box, "- MAYBE TAKE THIS FISH?"

She tilts her head, hoping that's okay.

"That's quite okay. And perhaps next time we'll find a nice largemouth bass for you to catch." Taurus chuckles.

[Lex-Kat]

Vincent sighs a bit, not sure what Caroline even wanted to ask exactly.
"So... Caroline used to be my age and we're girlfriend-boyfriend and then she grew up and I don't grow up and a part of her doesn't like that and I want her to be happy, so I figured maybe I'd do what she did and grow up too, but it wouldn't be for me, it'd be for her cause it never really bothered me before and so we wanted an adult to tell us what to do." He probably breaths in there somewhere.

Caroline turns to look at Vincent. Wait. What do you mean, "do what she did"? Did you go back to that crazy fountain?

[Sunning Rock]

One kitty Reinholdt, without a rifle, is sunning here. Purr purr.

Melody lands softly next to Reinholdt and tries to scritch his ears.

[Slii Arhem]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric looks at the box fort and very nearly giggles. He's done similar things in the past, when his dad worked in a warehouse and brought him to work when he was really little.

"Keo, is that you peeking out? How you doin' little kitty?"

Rowan Cabin

Julie doesn't bother holding back, and giggles loud and hard at the wide pair of eyes peeking out.

"Having fun Keo? I just wanted to make sure you're doing okay, now that the girls are settled down. You looked pretty catatonic for a little while there."

[Reinholdt]

{Andy's Room 2}

"Oh... well... I, um... might have..."
He clearly hasn't drunk any of it yet.

[Sunning Rock]

Reinholdt starts purring loudly.
"Mmmm... that feels good."

[Lost_Deep]

Rowan Cabin

Keo scuttles out, looks at Eric. She moves over and sniffs him. "Who are you,r?"

After a moment, she looks outside. The sun is quite up and shining.

"Spring! Ooh, I need to make my luck dice so I can get luck for the season!"

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

"Um, I'm Eric, Julie's boyfriend and the father of the girls. I look a bit different now, but that's all, I promise."

...

"Dice?"

[Slii Arhem]

Rowan Cabin

Julie is a bit puzzled by the mention of luck dice as well, but doesn't mention it, "That's right. Eric is a bit different now, but he just wanted to try a new look." Eric should still smell the same, although the lupine smell will eventually fade now that his canine traits are gone.

"So, how do you make luck dice. Do you need help with it?" Julie is momentarily surprised how natural it feels to offer help, but shakes it off. She knows Keo, well enough that helping her is like helping any of her family, or Eric.

[Gullara]

[Forest Hut]

Renetta blinks at the sudden change and her child's activity. Did it happen? She shifts away from Waterstrider just enough so that she can look down at herself. She doesn't even have to look down though. She can see her muzzle right there before her eyes. Fur covers her entire body from head to... paw. It's similar in colour to what her hair was before, but with more texture and variation to it. Also similar are her eyes; They're the same icy green that they were before. In many respects she is very similar to a wolfen. The main difference being that she is more short and slight than a typical wolfen female, though she is taller than she was before.

Thank you. She says to Dawn Wolf. She takes Waterstriders paws in her and guides them to her stomach so he can feel the baby's kicks. "How do I look?" She asks as she looks at Watersrider in turn.
