Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jamal and the Jeep

It starts with a pain beneath your chubby head somewhere between what is your chin and where it moves in with your body. But that distinction is coming to an end. As your body seems to grow... larger and more round. The whale like blubber expanding your body, particurally the area that was your chin, that area not only hurts, but seems to suffer from the most serious swelling.

Your back swells, as a large protrusion that looks like the beginnings of a back fin grows in. Your tail growing larger, as the orca like colors seem to be coming in at the lower part of it and spreading up your under body. Your arms grow smaller, and are further made to look diminutive by your more massive body.

Your own teeth begin to hurt, as your mouth grows wider and your teeth change to become sharp. But the pain under your mouth hasn't gone away... in fact it's only gotten worse the entire time. As the skin opens up, and you see what was hurting so badly. A large, deadly looking mouth seems to have grown in, as now it merely opens it's dangerous looking jaws.

Nita understood perfectly. She had only needed to contact the labs directly on a couple of occasions, and it had been nerve-wracking. "Sure, I'll keep you company," she said. "Moral support and all that." She nodded, suppressing any outward surprise/disgust at the way Rachel's new mouth moved.

Following Rachel into her duplex, Nita glanced around. Unsurprisingly, it looked pretty much like every other duplex she'd been. It was like those stupid housing developments, where everything was cookie-cutter identical.

"Thanks," Nita said, settling herself down. She pulled her tail into her lap and stroked it absently. It was somewhat of a comfort.

Nita gave Rachel a sympathetic look when she had to sit on the floor. Hopefully, the labs would be able to give her a sturdier bed, or maybe move her into one of the aquatic duplexes like Awen had.

"Go for it," she said as the com unit crackled.

"Um...." Rachel was about to ask him to connect her to somebody that could help her, when she heard the sounds from the other end. She frowned knowing he must be spying on her right now and probably found her predicament amusing.

"Damn cameras," Rachel muttered under her breath, before continuing, her voice icy. "I would like to talk to someone about my latest change....please," she said, empasizing the last word, before looking over at Nita, wondering what she thought of the situation.

There was a general low muted snickering and the murmur of voices before the intercom crackled and went quiet for some time. Finally, a young woman's voice picked up, sounding harsh and irritable, "Yes? What is it?"

Nita nodded encouragingly when the woman finally arrived on the line, giving Rachel a quick thumbs-up. The voice wasn't one she recognized, having only ever spoken to Doctors Moreau, Lockheart, and Duvert. Hopefully, this new woman was high enough up on the totem pole to know what was going on.

Rachel blinked. The woman was asking her about her mental state and urges, without even giving her a chance to say what was wrong. She frowned, taking a moment before responding. Maybe the woman's questions were more relevant than she realized? Again, not wanting to make the woman angry, Rachel played along.

"Um...well mantally, apart from the...trauma...of the change itself, I'm fine I guess. And no...no...urges..."
