Always Ascending

[Nihtgenga]

"Oh for fuck's sake, all this standing around yammering's getting us nowhere! You think testing them's a good idea? Fine. I'll test one."

Retiaria grabbed one of the bottles, pulled the cork and chugged its contents.

[Alice]

The drink is oddly refreshing. It's.. tea.. and peaches.. and a lovely cool sensation in the bright sun.

Then Red's horns pull down tighter on her head.. webs spread between her fingers as her claws grow longer as her possessions melt into her body as scales start to run down her body from the waist down. Then a sensation almost like a massage all along her legs as they squeeze together.. A red scaled fishy tail forming as Red falls into the soft sand and feels the surf lapping along her tail. Her smile is now full of sharp pointy teeth, her tail gone as Red the slightly Deamonic mermaid now rests in the surf.. The ocean awaits.

[Nihtgenga]

"Mmm. Yummy. I guess it's jus-urk!"

Retiaria's hands shot to her head as she felt something shift. Her horns had changed?! Then she felt something squeezing and pushing at her legs, and suddenly she was falling. She stared with mute shock at the fish tail where her legs used to be. "Oh... holy fucking shit... I... I'm half fish now? Fuck, I hope this isn't permanent. And where's my stuff?

She pulled and rolled herself into the water, laying on her back in the shallows. After a few moments' hesitation, she ducked her head under the water. And breathed. It felt strange, but she wasn't drowning, so that was a plus. Sticking her head back up, she said "Okay. So, before you guys say 'I told you so', or 'that was really dumb', I... I know. But plus side, I can breathe water now?"

Oric:

I look on with a sigh that barely hides my very obvious concern. Once it's obvious she's not going full fish or being hurt I let out a sigh of relief. "Well I can't let you go alone now can I?" I step into the water, set down the bag in the sand, and drink one of the vials.

[Alice]

Oric also gets a lovely drink of the beverage her fur slicking back down against her body. Gold scales form along her legs as they are also massaged into a tail.. but.. she shrinks as well... flopping down seemingly half the size of Red now! Her hands are smooth claws, now mildy sharp don't seem nearly the damage dealers of Red. Her equipment has also melted into her new body. The surf feels so good on her little golden tail..

[darlingng01]

Oric:

I wiggle and whimper at the sensation, a mix of feelings I'm not quite sure how to place. As I flop down into the surf I feel small and vulnerable... I press up against Red, half hugging her for comfort, and half hugging her because hugs are nice okay?

[Ryuforce]

The dragonborn looks on in surprise as Red then Oric decided to risk the ocean. Watching their changes though bit concern how Oric went from taller then the rest to shorter.. She gives a shrug upon this. "Well.. let's see how well this goes.." She says with a gulp before taking the potion and walking towards the water, giving the tea like liquid a sip. "Mmnn Red's right.. this isn't half bad at all."

[Alice]

The tea flows down easy as the first thing duran notices is her scales getting even smoother.. cool slick skin runs down her legs.. Her breasts grow... her whole body seems to grow taller and thicker still even as her legs merge together.

She's easily twice as the size of red now.. and at least 5 times her weight... crawling through the sand is hard for the massive mermaid, but the water looks so cool and inviting.

[Nihtgenga]

Retiaria wrapped an arm around Oric as she hugged her. "Aww, you're tiny now! So cute."

She then stared as Duran bulked up, becoming truly massive. "Whoa, bloody hell..."

[Ordos]

Welp.  It looks like the group we playing right into their Fulsome Hostess' hands.  Again.

She leveled an entirely unamused look at the three in the water.

"I'd just gotten my body back," she muttered.  However... she couldn't help but think that this change may not be as permanent as some of the others.  Their Gracious Mistress wanted them in the water, and she'll likely want them out again eventually.  Still... something would likely hold over...

"I reserve the right to say 'I told you so' when this inevitably goes tits-up," she muttered.  She took one of the vials and, after a moment's hesitation, stepped into the water.  She drank it when she standing waist-deep in the surf. 

[Ryuforce]

The dragonborn felt her body expand as she started to grow taller and far larger. Making her have to quickly waddle into the deeper parts of the water as her legs start pushing together to form a tail. "Ugh... what is with this Goddess and trying to make me sooo fat?" She whines with a huff but at lest she is easily the tallest one now so there's that. But a part of her wonders what would happen if she tried to use the slim down bread during this? She probably can't right now but would she become a skinny giant fish thing?

Regardless she looks to Naethra who defeated, joins them in trying out fish forms. "Well yeah. why would you not if you ended up correct?" She asks curiously but watches the second tiefling to see what she would become.

[Alice]

As Naethra drinks down the refreshing beverage nothing happens for long moments.. Then the others can see her colors washing out.. growing pale.. her tail grows out from her legs as she drops into the water.

When she pops her head back out a faintly glowing orb dangles from a stalk growing from  her forehead.

[Dichotomy]

I frown pretty deeply at watching all of this. "I... would really prefer to... I can just change myself to... uuuugh, but if I lose concentration I suppose I'll drown. Well played." I take one of the drinks and hold my nose while I down it- whatever it does to me can't be too much more novel than what's already happened.

[Alice]

The drink goes down easy. Lou's gear swiftly melts away as her body takes on a brilliant blue hue. She starts to get shorter arms and legs shrinking in somewhat more in proportion to the rest of her body.. then.. long flowing fins.. Beautiful wispy blue fins trailing from her arms and tail like dancers skirts and veils..

The sea now calls.. The party may now swim deeper in and see who has invited them below the waves.

[Dichotomy]

I snort, diving more deeply into the water. "Of course... they want me to be frilly and pretty. I'd say I don't know what I was expecting, but that's a lie. I was expecting this."
