// 01 | VIDEO (Backdated to this morning)

[Angelina used to find curses rather amusing. But that was because none of them had affected her yet. Today when she woke up, she felt different, a ticklish sensation on hear head, near her ears. When she reached to touch them, they were big and furry!

She rushes over to her mirror, still wearing her nightshirt and notices she has adorable red fox ears sitting on top of her head. Wishing to be reassured, she turns on her SFC and promptly broadcasts a video.

As the feed opens, you can't yet see her face.]

Good morning, dear Vatheonites. Has anyone awoken today feeling rather... different?

Because I am quite sure that last night I did not have these!

[She holds the SFC in a way in which you can see her pointing at her new ears with her free hand.]

Fortunately these did not come with a tail, but honestly. Fox ears? [Pffft...] Whoever heard of such nonsense anyway...

Well, I do hope this is just a curse, but a week is such a long time...

[ Duke sounds small. Like he's been shrunk or something.

there's some repeated thumps before a noise a bit like a sigh. ]

.... Still have hands.

[ladyinscarlet]

[She blinks in confusion at the blank screen.]

Duke? Is it you? What happened to you? You... Were you maybe fully transformed into an animal? [She'd hate to think he's otherwise hurt.]

Voice

[radiantwingedone]

... correct, first and last. [ There's some more soft thump-like sounds...

And then Duke gives up with that. He has no liiimmbsss... ]

Voice

[ladyinscarlet]

Ohhh... Fortunately you can still talk... [She's not so bad off after all...]

What were you transformed into?

[ Unfortunately for William, he's been turned COMEPLETELY into a pigeon! Which means cooing instead of speaking, and pecking instead of typing! ]

[ Typing with a little pigeon beak is a lot harder than it sounds! ]

[She also blinks in confusion at the pigeon.]

Who are you sir or lady? Because as I can see, you are now a pigeon...

[ William flutters his wings a bit, obviously a grumpy little birdie. ]

wiulliamm t.. spesars

[ It also doesn't help that he can hardly see the keyboard now that his glasses are gargantuan in proportion to him. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[Yes, the grumpiness gives her a clue as to who it might be, and now he typed out his name.]

Oh, Mr. Spears, it's you. Do you require any kind of assistance?

[his talon slips on the SFC and switches it over to video, which gets an annoyed huff from the hawk standing on it. THIS SUCKS. :I]

[Oh God, another bird.]

Oh dear, you were also fully transformed...

[Alfred Hitchcock up in here, yo. he taps at the SFC with his talons. Blaaah this sucks. and is horribly annoying to type out]

[ladyinscarlet]

I see... That's no good at all... [Shakes head.]

Are you Mr. Hidaka?

[Video]

[has_too_many_moles]

[In return Madam Red get the full view of your fellow coworker- in full Fennec fox form]

At least you only have the ears, Madam. Not all of us have that fortune.

[Video]

[ladyinscarlet]

Mr. Okumura, is that you? Good, you can still talk.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie pops up on the SFC, though she has trouble holding it with the large black nails that she has. Her own fox ears twitch*

Hey! You're a fox too!

*She giggles, then grabs her tail and waves it into the SFC*

But I have a tail!~

[ladyinscarlet]

Oh good morning, miss! It seems that fox seems to be a common theme among us. That and birds... [Shakes her head.]

Fortunately, I did not sprout a tail. I hate to think of having to alter my clothes to accomodate it.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles at the woman, swishing her own large bushy tail in front of her face. She giggles a little, then drops it. She turns slightly, looking back at her tail*

Maaan, that was so annoying in the morning! It was so super hard to get dressed. I mean, it didn't fit under some of my skirts...and it didn't fit over any of them either!

*But looks like she managed in the end, somehow*

[ladyinscarlet]

And might I ask how you managed to fit your clothes? Did you have them altered in any way?

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

[Feeling different, huh? Here glaring into the screen is a fluffy-looking grey feline, obviously none too pleased.]

Oh no, you have new ears. Such a hindrance! How ever are you going to go through life with these fuzzy things on your head? I mean it has to be so hard to do everyday tasks, like open doors or containers or drawers, or pick up everyday objects without having to resort to biting onto things - forget anything big or heavy - or the outright impossible of operating once simple tools. I can't even leave my own hive without help, but poor woman on the network: you have fluffy ears.

And to think, my option isn't even the worst that could have happened. I could be stuck with hooves like the last time a curse turned me into a quadruped, or into a penguin or a bee like others I've seen this curse.

If you did have the tail, what you be complaining about then? A bump in your dress? Having to sit funny?

[VIDEO]

[ladyinscarlet]

[And she glares right back at him. How dare he speak like this to a lady, whether he's been turned to a cat or not.]

Well, I apologize sir. [Not that she sounds very apologetic at all.] I did not realize that some of you had been fully transformed into animals.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

[He'd speak to pretty much anyone like this, really, given reason. Not that it's hard to come by with his attitude.]

And? Even if we hadn't, would you still be whining like an earth baby over it? It's not, again, like having furry ears on your head is going to stop you from going about your life normally.

[VIDEO]

[ladyinscarlet]

[And she will now consider him a total jerk, but yeah, she's a Victorian lady, after all.]

I was simply surprised, sir, that is all. And I wished to know if this was indeed a curse.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

The tail's...not so bad.

Beyond having to be careful not to knock things over with it.

[Video]

[ladyinscarlet]

I suppose we ought to be fine... And we will go back to our normal selves in a week or so.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

Yes... It's more inconvenient than it is uncomfortable, for now at least.
