Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Then clearly it's up to the Zelly to fix this conundrum!))

Jessie had finished her rounds and was coming back to find someone knocking at her door. "Er, if you're looking for some place 'normal', you're knocking on the wrong door...." she said rather timidly as she landed a few feet away and started walking toward Travis. "On the other hand, we're not gonna kick you out for transforming somehow, and we're certainly not going to eat you or whatever you think we're going to do."

Meanwhile after Jessie had left, Lana when to sit on the couch. She was tired from all the walking she did today. Now she was sound asleep, her head falling forward. She didn't hear Mary get up, or the knocking on the door.

Travis gave an involuntary yelp as the winged, multi-limbed woman landed near him. His first instinct was to run, but her hesitant nature gave him just enough pause to hear her words.

"So whatever has happened got you too, huh..." he said, regarding Mary as she opened the door. "And you, too. Is this what I have to look forward to? I've... already changed some, myself."

He begrudgingly lifted his shirt, revealing the mild swell of his belly, covered in light brown fur. That in itself was odd, but as he lifted it higher, a long horizontal slit was revealed, looking much like what a kangaroo would have.

"Please tell me this isn't what I think it is."

"Small consolation," he sighed, staring at the girl's belly. "You're pregnant, aren't you--I mean, aw, geez. I should at least introduce myself before asking questions like that, but this whole ordeal has me a mess. I'm Travis. I was camping when this struck. Found a strange rock and--well, looks like you know the rest."

"This is unreal..." Travis subconsciously rested a hand on his own belly. "Almost everyone I've seen affected by the rocks seems to be pregnant. I think I--" he stopped himself. "But I'm a guy! It makes no sense!"

"Fair point," he said stoically. "And I'm not even Australi--ngh!"

Travis double over as he felt a tightening through his lower half, his pants straining and tearing along the seams as his hips widened and a large bulge expanded against his backside. Finally, with a loud "shrip!" and a cry of relief, a large kangaroo tail sprouted from his tattered clothes, covered in the brown fur that was still consuming his lower half.

"Holy..." Travis sheepishly swished his tail, trying to get used to it. "Why would these rocks even do this? I mean, be different for every--er--!" He winced, his shoes become tighter by the second. "I think I'll need a place to sit down very soon. I'm not done yet!"

Travis scrambled for the nearest chair, his shoes bulging, but he clumsily stumbled with his new form and slid off it, landing on his furry backside with a loud "Oof!" He leaned forward, trying to reach his shoes, but they exploded off him as a pair of large footpaws broke free.

"Ow! Ow, ow..." He wiggled his big toes, trying to shake off the pain of their constraint. From his pregnant belly down, he largely had the body of a kangaroo--perhaps not quite as hunched and ready to spring, but still obvious to the naked eye. His upper half remained strangely human, however.
