[Audio, first evening parked by the river]

Okay, uh, people should probably not try to go swimming in the river. Just to warn you.

[She makes an annoyed noise.]

I turned into a fish person. Like I have gills now and webbed feet and it's awful. So just, you know, be careful and don't just jump in like an idiot.

[Like she did. She adds, mostly in a mutter, but still broadcasting,]

The plants said as much and I didn't listen. They warned me not to put my roots too deep. Ugh. So stupid.

Oh, huh.

I got a tail but when I tried to go back to land it turned into legs again. Just...not really my legs. I have hooves. This whole thing is messed up.

[mytearsaremine]

Oh geez. You got changed, too, huh?

[There's sympathy there. Though also bafflement, because:]

Hooves aren't really a water-creature thing. And aren't you normally more, uh, dog-ish?

[solitarysoul]

Yeah...most months I seem to get something different.

...y-yeah. Horse is new and I don't really get why it goes with this water but whatever.

[mytearsaremine]

This place is so weird and stupid, I swear.

Can you walk okay? On the hooves.

[solitarysoul]

Yeah...I had hooves a few months back so it wasn't hard to get used to them again. I just wish I wouldn't have to keep doing that

[mytearsaremine]

I wouldn't want to keep doing that, either. I wonder why it's happening now... what made it happen last time?

[solitarysoul]

I think it must be something about the water, since we're being changed to fit it. I'm not really sure, though...I don't know why it happened last month. A few months ago getting pricked by thorns made us change but it usually isn't obvious. Magic bullshit or something I guess.

[mytearsaremine]

Everything around here is magic crap.

[Yes, she censored herself. Shut up. It does come with a heavy sigh, though.]

Maybe going back in the water will change us back. I should try that.

[solitarysoul]

You mean back to normal?

[Or what normal passes for here.]

I don't think so. It might make you change more, or it might not do anything but no way it'll let us change back so quickly and easily.
