Near Midnight, Day Three - Part 2

[Sorry not updating earlier, I'm back on the normal update schedule now.]

As the wererats clear away the bodies, a new round of combat starts in the arena.

Meanwhile, despite Sarah's attempts at clearing the slime away from her friends, they and the women they joined in battle begin to undergo transformations:

[William]
William feels a twitching in his ears, which grow up into two round loops, as a spectrum of brown fur begins to sprout over his head. His jaw stretches forwards as his head reshapes into that of a rabbit: a pair of large, dark eyes on the side of his fuzzy head; two nostrils squashing into angled slits; two front teeth stretching down for rapid rabid rabbit chomping.

[Reginald]
Reginald's shoes burst open as two large kangaroo feet come into view, quickly furring over with a covering of tan hairs. The thighs change too, and a large thick tail bursts out of the back of his pants. Eventually, from the waist down, Reginald is a kangaroo.

[Mysterious Woman]
The leather around the woman's legs buckles and snaps, as from her waist another pair of legs begins to push out. Both sets of legs quickly become covered with dark brown hair as the legs begin to stretch apart as she starts gaining a new torso.

After cursing at her transformed shape, the warrior woman answers Reginald's questions, "The name is Agatha. I assume you're here because of Vladimir. I think we can help each other out. I don't care about him, so much as an item he's got hidden somewhere in his house. I'll help you out, but I get first choice when it comes to the treasure-grab. Now, how many keys do you have so far?"

  1. William wriggles his nose a little and tries to adjust his armor as he realizes what happened. "Great...just great" he mutters as he keeps trying to adjust his armor and pants from contricting his puff of a tail.

    Relaxing a little with his Tail allowed out in the free air, he looks to Agatha confused. "Well truth be told, some of us are looking for lost friend...or what may remain of them...but yes, we are looking for Vald. What do you mean by a key although?"

  2. Reginald eyed his new set of legs from his position on the floor, confused, but mildly excited. He stands up to relieve the pressure of his body pinning his tail to the floor.

    "Forgive me for breaking character, but, THIS IS BADASS! I've always wanted a tail!" Reginald flexed his lower half, careful not to swing the new limb at anyone nearby. "This is certainly a welcome surprise indeed," he continues, muttering now, "welcome indeed..."

    Hearing Agatha mention a key he hops over, somewhat clumsily at first, but then with veritable bounce in his step. "Really I'm only here because my taxi driver fled me, I met a new friend - followed by more new friends - and I hate conferences anyway. We can chat about pasts later, mind you. What is this that you are saying about keys? We saw a mural on the first floor that that required key-like objects, and a room back there with some awfully strange things in it... but no actual keys, thus far."
