[Okay, the reason why I did what I did with Mendo and Lost is that they were explaining one of the triggers IN CHARACTER! They were already making it blatantly obvious what the trigger is, so it really shouldn't have mattered how I displayed it.]
[Now, here's the hard part for you, the player. Now that you know one of the 5 triggers, I'll know when you're not playing in character just to get a trigger. Remember, even though you know one, there are still 4 unknowns out there to be discovered and for your character to be changed with. Trust me when I say the odds will be in your favor if you stick with just playing your character naturally.]
[Once again, I will know if you are metagaming. Meaning, I know if you are giving information to your character that he or she doesn't or shouldn't know. If you metagame, you will not progress in the changes even if you hit a trigger. That includes the ones you don't know yet. Get all that, kiddies?]
[Okay, now to the fun stuff!]
The receptionist points Aaron to the door. "Follow that loser."
As Tony opens the door, heaven awaits for him. Heaven is represented by two very pretty girls dressed all in white, little white fanny packs on their hips. These women speak to him. Heaven. "If you and your friend could follow us, please?" They beckon him and some guy behind him into a white hall. Yeah, heaven.
Mendo and Lost:
The room remains eerily silent, save for their exchange.
[Tiiiiiiime....to face the change! Ch-ch-changes!]
Nosnits:
Nova suddenly has more of Robert to stare at. Those hips are going to draw his eyes a lot better now that Robert's waist has pulled in from the sides. In fact, it's now quite obvious that Robert's hips might be wider than his shoulders. The gentle curve from those almost exposed breasts to the round hips just kind of flows, but in a cute way. In fact, the cuteness just seems to pile on as Robert's cute legs emerge from those wonderful hips. While some parts of him may be thin and dainty, his thighs are cute and rather plump for his apparent size. But the real show stopper, the real cuteness factory is Robert's face. The little nose, the rosy cheeks, the permanently pouty lips. Even his eyebrows seem to curve in just the right way as to make one go "Awwww..." To Nova, all of this should work fine. But to Robert, one of these changes might not agree with him. For Robert, with all his ranting about not wanting anything to do with Nova, is starting to see the boy in a different light. To Robert, what appeals to him isn't the softness he has gained so quickly. No, he likes...a broad chest. Tight abs. A rugged smile with maybe even a little five o'clock shadow. Not only does he like these things, but he finds them cute. In fact really likes cute things. Anything that could send a girl giggling with happiness at the sight of it. He really likes cute. And unfortunately for him, now boys are cute.
Neph:
The next time Vincent speaks, it will be as a 2nd Alto. A strong, firm voice for a woman, a voice that could easily be raised to fearful levels of command. It could just as easily let out a low, happy purr. The breasts that Vincent seems to have so recently embraced don't look quite as out of place as they did a moment ago. Now they are accompanied by a thin, almost waspish waist and gently rounded hips. Even though his thighs look just as pleasing and round, he can feel the power in them. His arms wear their strength on the outside, but these shapely, tasty looking thighs hide theirs. With how wide his hips spread his legs apart, it's quite easy for him to put his knees together and have his thighs form a V. In contrast, his face loses any and all shows of strength it may have once had. His chin may have a sharp angle, but only because of the heart-shaped jawline. His nose is downright small now, not drawing away from lips that would never need lipstick. His face is a thing of feminine beauty, perhaps flawed only by somewhat largeish ears, but at this junction, who's counting? Something inside of Vincent's head lights up. An epiphany. In light of what he had just said it all made sense. He likes boys. Undeniably likes boys. And despite all the strength that he feels throughout, despite whatever posturing he may do, he really just wants to be held. Warm, manly arms wrapped around him.
Riana:
Taylor's waist sinks in upon itself. It may not appear to be as thin as Vincent's, but that is the deceipt of the dress-like thing. The real winner here is hidden under the dress: Taylor's beautifully slim, taut tummy. Upon seeing it, any red-blooded male would gladly sign a petition to label it the 8th wonder of the world. It's just that good. More apparent to Taylor is a wash of memories flooding his mind. He remembers things he never did, but they seem so much clearer than what he really did. He remembers...working in a restaurant. A chinese restaurant. He remembers his flight over the pacific. From China. A working knowledge of Mandarin slowly but surely creeps into his brain. He can still speak english, surely, but it doesn't seem as natural as it once did. Oh, and he now has no qualms preference wise about ending up with a boyfriend. In fact, hasn't he always liked boys that way?
Jake:
Jake...gets colder, to say the least. Those perfect lines extend down to his legs and all. Still not the figure it seems to be meant to display, but the framework, the perfectness of the lines seems to be there already. If not for losing everything he was wearing below the waist, even his shoes, to be replaced with what is most obviously a bikini bottom. Sure, it's cut seems somewhat large and awkward compared to him but still. Bikini bottom.
Rodney:
The next time he speaks, Romuald will be a 1st Alto. Definitely higher than before, and pretty girlish to boot. It's also not too girlish, holding a certain raspiness that almost seems cute. And as for his green shirt...it's assaulted once more. As if the breasts weren't doom enough, the shirt follows his waist in as it goes concave. It's not the most stunning, womanly waist ever, but it's a girl's waist. Supported by a girl's hips. Attacking his black camo pants, his hips stretch out and just emphasise the curve of the waist. Which emphasizes the hips. It's an ongoing circle of girliness, but not too exaggerated. But heck, he can still form a V by putting his cute knees together. Because his hips flow into thin but girly thighs. The assault never ends.
Lavender:
Apparently that hair did a number on Jeffery. A real doozy. It reaches down to his elbows now, even held up in the back with a ponytail. Two long strands of the excessively blond hair flow down in front of his rounded shoulders. Bare rounded shoulders. These thin, petite shoulders support a thin neck and produce even thinner arms. In fact, everything about Jeffrey seems to be skinny now. Skinny, but cute, and adorably so. His shoulders are bare because of a tube top looking thing wrapped around his chest. At first glance it seems odd, but as a tingling enters his chest and pleasantly pulls it outward, things don't look odd any longer. Granted, his breasts are an A cup, possiby a B cup, but on that tiny frame they seem glorious. They fill the tube top thing very well, and seem to hint of better things to come. A pleasantly curvy waist and a very nice tummy for such a skinny frame make their way down to his now much baggier pants. Inside, his hips grow outward to petite proportions, but still should look very nice on the rest of him. His thighs, though still skinny, don't appear so, even if they're covered in the baggy pants. Jeffrey could easily fill in as the poster girl of "how to be skinny and healthy". His fingers, still dainty, still very small, seem very nimble. In fact, he could probably pick apart a hair by grabbing the split ends, or at least his hands feel like he could.
[Evra and Ginny:
Claude feels like she's losing something. Something she only just recently won. A short moment later, Claude has white hair, green eyes and a tall, athletic but slim build. The build of a man. Claude has once again become himself and his mind once again becomes whole.
The same cannot be said of Alex. The mental assault of the changes and Claude's own aggressiveness have left an impression on her mind. She may be shy, but she doesn't want to be. She knows, deep down, that she can do great things. She still remembers very clearly her time as a boy. It was silly, really. Her not wanting to end up this way. Though she may have a great barrier to overcome with her meekness, she has a small budding confidence that one day, with help, she will overcome. She never had this hope as a boy. Perhaps...this could be something to latch on to?
And speaking of latching on to, there is a perfectly handsome man across the room from her. She is smitten, but still unclear if it is only passing fancy or if this is Mr. Right. Either way, she wants to know, but could still be too shy to do anything about it.
The complete AlexAs these events happen, the handcuffs release from their hands. The two are freed from their bonds and a portion of the wall opens up into a white hall.
[Hooray for the first couple! What will happen? How will the other couples fare? These questions and more, answered next time on: Muffin finally decides to post!]
[Also, at what point did you discover that I was doing Evra's picture from a greyscale?]
