Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

You bite the flower...

Feeling rather foolish, you bring the Harzflower petals to your mouth and shake some onto your tongue. They taste ... weird, you muse as you begin chewing.

Suddenly, you feel as though your mouth is on fire! As though the petals have suddenly become habanero peppers, your tongue burns, and you begin panting from the internal heat. Oddly, you don't seem to be sweating, except on your palms ...

As you pant, you notice something pink flopping around below your mouth. You reach out, take hold of it ... and yelp in surprise! Unless your senses are deceiving you, you're touching your tongue!

You feel a burning in your throat, as though you're going to vomit. But instead of a technicolor yawn, your nose and mouth stratch out into a muzzle! As an itch starts around the sides of your now-oddly-shaped head, your scratching reveals that your skull is flattening out, bringing your ears to the top of your head!

The itch spreads quickly, and you scratch vigorously as your whole body feels like it's covered with ants. But a strange tingling arrests your attention ... instead of scratching skin, you're now running your fingernails through coarse fur! A second layer grows in over the first as you watch.

The only thing that tears your eyes away from this show is the fact that you fall to the floor. Looking down, you can see that your feet have stretched out into canine-looking paws. Your hands stretch, too, feeling as though they're going through an old laundry wringer as your fingernails round out into claws and are buried in the flesh of your new paws ... which is then buried beneath the sprouting fur.

A tearing sound draws your attention to your shorts ... or rather, what's left of them after your tail tears through them. In your shock, you could barely notice it growing in at the base of your spine.

A few moments after that, you notice the tingling gradually subsiding. You seem to have changed into an actual wolf, though, not the half-wolf shapes you've seen on the other kids. Did something go wrong?

Your ears twitch as you hear footsteps coming toward the door from the outside ...
