When they wake up this morning, all Tau Taken will suddenly find themselves not just with Camelbak backpacks in their possession, but with literal camel bumps on their backs. These bumps are already quite full of water, which will keep the Taken quite hydrated without any effort on their part. Additionally, Taus now have cactus spikes along their legs and arms-- not terribly sharp or uncomfortable, and they can be broken off and eaten. One spike will provide the nutrition and sustenance of a full meal, and new spikes will grow back in the same place immediately after one is broken off. Finally, all of their skin has acquired a tinge of cactus-y green-- but they're not sick. As a matter of fact, the color change means extra protection from the sun. Their clothes will adjust to the spikes and bumps, and return to normal when they do. The only time these new features go away is when the Taken tries to a) sleep or b) sleep, unless of course their sleeping partner thinks the camel/cactus look is attractive. (Exception: Alastriona Moody2-swap will have to do option A with her bumps and spikes, for no other reason than Tau thinks she'd enjoy the extra challenge.) The effect will only go away for good after the individual completes ten total hours of hiking in the desert. This does not include break/rest times, and in fact, lazing around will only make the spikes and bumps rather uncomfortable (the discomfort will slowly increase over time, but never actually become truly painful). Finally, the reprieve from bumps and spikes for sleeping purposes will only last for ten hours of sleep and then the discomfort will wake them up and make sure they stay awake for at least twelve hours-- so don't think you can beat the system by sleeping the rest of the world away. (There aren't any limitations to trying to shag for the rest of the world to try to keep their normal forms, though-- and Tau would be seriously impressed if someone managed it.) The time spent hiking doesn't have to be consecutive-- i.e. they can hike five hours today and five tomorrow, or divide it up however else they like-- but the effect will not be gone until they accumulate the full ten hours. If they make a good effort at it, their relaxation after their hike will not be disturbed by the spikes/bumps causing them discomfort. If they don't complete their time by the end of the flip, the experiment will be over when the countdown ends. Ω OMEGA: Omegas (aka Arayna Lestrange20-heir & Rabastan Lestrange15-thg) are only required to complete five hours of hiking before the effect wears off. subjects All of Tau Block. when / duration. Until they finish ten total hours of hiking in the desert, or until the end of the flip. |
