Final Reality XI: Harsh discoveries.
Unending BE - episode 350046
James looked down, fearing what he would see. His fears were confirmed, as he saw two large mounds of flesh protruding through his leather vest. He reached up to touch them, and noticed that his hands were different. His fingers were shorter and had short claws protruding from them, almost making his hands look like cat paws. He cupped his breasts, amazed that he could feel them. "Holy shit, this is real!" James looked up to see his surroundings.
James was in a port city, with walls made of high mounds of dirt. In the distance he could make out several ships resting in a small cove. Everywhere around him there were strange creatures. There were many catgirls, some with 6 breasts as he had seen, some with 2, some with more. There were tall elves and humans with obviously large tools. There were even stranger mutations. James saw a human woman with 2 heads, and a taru-taru (little midgets) with a set of tentacles coming out of his back.
James stood up and got out of the main thoroughfare. His tail was pinching him. Tail? James looked back, and sure enough, he had a tail like all the others walking around. He backed up against a wall, not wanting to be trampled as he tried to figure things out. "What the fuck is going on?" James murmured. He started to hyperventalate, and reached back for his inhaler, before he caught himself. Of course he wouldnt have an inhaler, he wasnt at home. Actually, why would he need an inhaler? He was no longer in his 21 year old 180 pound asthma ridden body, now he was in a nubile young catgirl! Suddenly his reveries were interrupted by another catgirl walking up to him.
"Hi. I just was passing by and I had to say congratulations." The newcomer said.
"Congratulations for what?" James replied. He casually inspected her, and saw that she had 4 breasts, although her lower ones were hidden behind a dress that covered her lower body and swept the ground.
"Well, you know. Not being changed. By the way, I'm Ilana." She reached up to shake James' hand/paw.
James met the grasp, shaking it nervously. "What are you talking about. I'm normal, right?"
Ilana glanced away. "Yeah. I just wanted to say good job. On not losing... Well, I should be going now." She turned away, but James grabbed her shoulder.
"No, wait. Please tell me. I am really confused right now, I have no clue what is going on."
Ilana gave James a strange look, and said, "Have you ever left the city before?" James shook his head. "Really? Well, I guess that explains it then. You see, when you are outside the city, there are monsters. And, well, some of them have more than fighting on their minds. If you pass out, some of them, well, they have their way with you. And it can do different things to your body. You can be... changed." Again, she glanced away. "I am a healer, I can help people stay concious when fighting these beasts, and to some extent I can stop the mutations. Look, I'm sorry I bothered you, I am sure you have more important things to do than to talk to an apprentice white mage..." Again, she tried to slip off, but James grabbed her hand.
"Please, stay with me. I dont know anyone around here, and I would feel a lot more comfortable with someone around." James said. "I just woke up in this body, and I need to figure out how to get back to my home."
"Are you sure that you are alright?" Iliana asked. She closed her eyes and started murmuring under her breath, then waved her hands over James' body. Slowly she came out of her trance. "I dont understand, you dont seem to be tainted, but you claim to have no memory."
"What should I do?" James asked.
"Well, I guess you could go to the capitol city, and find an oracle. But that would involve travel and money. Do you have any?" James patted his pockets, and came up with a money pouch. He poured it out into her palm. "For a person with no memory, at least you have some money. It looks like enough for some nice clothes, but I doubt it would get you an escort very far. Do you have any idea what you do, like, for a living?"
"I guess. I think I'm a theif." James replied, thinking about his character.
"Really, a theif that hasnt lost? Well, that is definately a good way to get money then. If you want, we could try to kill some weaker creatures around here for the bounty, and use that to buy an escort. Or we could find another heading to the capitol and go with them, it is always better to travel in groups."
"I dont know what to do. Just tell me." James glanced off at a topless elvan woman with a third leg.
"I have never been good at decisions, " Iliana replied, " maybe we should...
- sleep on it. " Iliana invited James to her house for the night.
- find another to travel with us. I know a girl that is pretty good with a spear, she may be willing to help you."
- try sneaking there at night. They are generally less active, and we can use the shadows to get there unmolested. Hopefully."
- Something Else.
