Welcome to Gaia! ::

You wake up that morning, after a series of vivid, disturbing nighmares, feeling feverish.... and with a distinct injection mark in your left forearm. It is swollen, hot and itchy.

Unfortunately, you aren't given that much time to ponder its significance when you feel hot... and itchy.

The itching becomes almost maddening on your chest and neck as long white silky fur begins to sprout before your eyes. Along your shoulders, your collar bone, in a poofy white ruff, but no further out than that.

Then, your ears begin to ache and itch as they swell in size and grow the same poofy white fur.

As you fear that this is only the begining... the changes subside, leaving you with a 'stole' and 'earmuffs'... but nothing more.... yet.

"...Yes... it did hurt. More than anything else I can recall." Any physical pain, anyway. "But it will fade. In time." Unlike the other pain.

And Emerwyn smiled in return.

"Of course. And, if ever you need anything, anything at all, do not hesitate to call on me. I am living in Duplex Ninet-" Then, she stopped, realizing that she was not living in Duplex number nineteen any longer. "Number Eighteen."
