Day 5
Moon Phase
Full Moon
Storyline
At midnight (the night of Day 4), Eden, Gwyn, and Ben begin to undergo a terrible transformation. Bones shift and audibly break as the body painfully mutate into animals: a panther, a snake, and a wolf, respectively.
Eden and Ben will either escape into the night as larger versions of their designated animals, or perhaps they will remain trapped inside their residences, perhaps lingering to dig into the refrigerator or the cupboards. Waking up in the morning, they will have only hazy memories of their night as animals -- and if they didn't wake up naked with their bodies aching, perhaps in the middle of the woods, they might put the strange encounter down as a dream. Fortunately, if they escaped their quarters, their noses will guide them back to town...
Gwyn suffers an entirely different fate. Her transformation into a were-snake was aborted partway through, perhaps her body's immune system attempting one last time to fight the wereism bacteria in her system. The night for her is a long one as her body fights with itself. Shortly before dawn, the pain coarsing through her system finally fades, allowing her to drift into an exhausted sleep. When she awakens, she is something new: half snake, half woman.
Outside, it's another beautiful day. As night settles over the island, the full moon will rise, large and lovely. Although the characters do not realize it, its tranquil perfection stands in eerie contrast to the monsters it will create.
At approximately 5:00 in the evening, everyone receives another messenger from the Commissioner -- and this time, it's a warning.
Mod Notes
Welcome our were-creatures and half-breeds to the Island, everybody! The fun and games are officially over. Characters who would like to assume that Drina, too, was meant to be a victim of wereism may now do so. Obviously, something went horribly wrong with her transformation...
Cath and Eden will need to role-play the transformation to assure that Cath survives. Fortunately, he's only dealing with a panther..whose saliva, nonetheless, carries the bacteria. If bitten, Cath's immune system will attempt to fight off the bacteria, which may present as a cold or as something more serious. Your choice!
I would appreciate some sort of description -- scene, email or otherwise -- for Gwyn's new form. I didn't want to assume anything, as I thought you might have an idea in your head for what she will turn out like.
For any questions about the transformation process, I will refer all of you to the recently posted description in the Supernaturals section of the site. The presented information is up for debate and comment...but this will get us started, anyway.
