( as you venture inside, you see clear signs of . . . something. there's more fur, more blood, more metal, and the air seems thicker.

the blue liquid trail leads you to. . .

a huge hole of darkness.

the air around it is warped, strange, almost like it isn't truly there at all. you don't get a good look at it before it sucks you inside. you do, however, definitely catch sight of the giant sigil that's been scratched into the floor. it may be familiar to some of you.

then—

you're falling. falling, falling, falling, but there is no ground in sight. there is only darkness and the faint glow of blue liquid trickling downward. it's quiet here, so quiet that you can only hear the thoughts inside of your own head and the steady drip of liquid.

ᴅʀɪᴘ DRIP ᴅʀɪᴘ DRIP ᴅʀɪᴘ.

then there is PAIN. it starts in your chest and sears its way across your limbs like a wildfire. it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. it hurts so bad that your vision tints red and all the thoughts sap from your head. you are alone with nothing but the sound of dripping and the sound of your body contorting. pop. snap. your body is changing, but you can't register any of it. you only know pain. it's enough to make one wish for the sweet release of death.

it feels like it goes on for years, one smeared eternity of blinding hurt. it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so fucking much! there's nothing you wouldn't do to stop it! nothing, nothing, nothing!

thankfully, you don't have to.

it all fades away like nothing as soon as your paws touch the ground. you feel better! great, in fact! strong as a hundred men and faster than any wildcat.

you let out a impressive snarl before finally blacking out. maybe that was all a bit too much? )

( remember that part where the pain faded away? turns out that was a lie, but only sort of. there's a dull ache in your limbs as you wake up on the cold floor of a cathedral. you know this place.

you're groggy and your limbs feel heavy, you're so big now, but there is someone else here. she's kneeling down near all of you, gently holding a lantern in her hands. she smiles at you, but you're not sure if she can even see you. )

I apologise. I would prefer that you did not wake up on the floor, but I could not carry you any further.

[plz hold your nerd needs to restart.]

Ugh... Woah. That was a little intense.

You... you transformed us?

[ That hurts. That hurt then and it hurts now, and something's wrong, but there was something else, something important- ]

Where is he?

[U M]

[give him a moment he is staring at his hands-- paws???-- with a very ??? expression]

Who. . .?

[and then he glances up at the woman, his half-question clearly directed at her]

[ laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and ]

[This doesn't feel good. She needs a second to reset, especially considering being so much bigger.. messes with all her perceptions.]

W-what?

[ well. his place... certainly seems familiar. even if everything hurts and seems somehow wrong and off. ]

No, I'm... Sorry, did I pass out?

[ trying to pick herself up already tbh ]

Not I, no.

Are you alright?

Who is it that you seek? How do you feel?

Edited 2016-01-16 03:12 (UTC)

I am the Mother of this church. How is your body?

My lady? Are you alright?

This is all a bit too familiar, that is all. Who are you?

[uuugh. drops his paws into his lap, ears flattening against the top of his head]

It aches. H-haa. . .

[but he guesses that's what happens when your entire body takes on a new shape]

Do you know Caretaker?

Edited 2016-01-16 03:14 (UTC)

You fainted, I believe. Do you feel better, Lady Susan?

The caretaker- Faust, where is he, where did he go?

[ He's pushing to his feet sluggishly, everything's off, but he can't take the time to get used to it, he needs to go ]

This... is... amazing!

It's a high level polymorph effect that altered my form into this [And then he flexes his paw] and with only that much pain or aching despite changing up the entire anatomy of a person.

With a little polish this could be... no, it's already absurdly high level!

Yes, I am afraid you did.

Please, Lady Sabre. Try not to push yourself.

[She. Looks at herself and.

Oh.

Ohhh.]

What happened to me?

And how do you know who I am?

( her face is obscure, but you can feel the weight of her blank expression. )

Sir Edward. You did not, perhaps, hit your head, did you?

( lips slowly stretching into a smile. )

With that name, I truly cannot ignore your question.

( lifting a hand. )

I will aid you, but I request that you allow yourself a moment to rest. He is not in danger.

No--not at all. This power's within Caretaker's realm, which means I have to ask him about it later.

--Where is he, anyways? He's alright, right?!

There was blood!

How the hell can you say he's safe, he was bleeding!

[ Screw you, lady, he's getting to his feet ]

[ do you know just how many times that has not worked?? and how many times it will continue to not to work??? ]

If... you know who I am, and you're here, then... you must know where the Caretaker is. Please, tell me. Where is he? Is he alright?

Please. Take a moment to catch your breath. You must have gone through quite the ordeal getting here.

( tapping a finger against her chin. )

"Caretaker"? I trust, you mean the white wolf? Is that what he calls himself?

I am sorry to hear that, Lady Delriza.

( a smile. )

I am the Mother of this church.
