Player Plot!!

The Trick and Treat Animal Plot

Once upon a time, Tara was practicing some magic in the ship's kitchen. She didn't realize that the large platter of cookies made by Kurt for the Candidates had gotten tainted with her spell. So now when a person comes down for a tasty treat, they also have a chance to become affected by the magic. Eating one or two cookies will cause a person to sprout some animal features like a tail, ears, snout/muzzle/etc, and whatever other anthropomorphic effect. If the person eats more than two then they will fully become an animal. (Type of animal is whatever the player wants it to be.)

The cookies are going to be out for people on 317. The Candidates won't be affected until they wake up the next day. So technically this will last three days (318-320). A person can return to the plate of cookies for more and increase their animal-ness unaware of what they're doing. For the sake of plot and funness, let's not have anyone figure out it's the cookies until 319 at least. 320 the Candidates will be back to normal like nothing ever happened.


Please note that this is a player plot and not connected to metaplot!!


FAQ's:

1) What do the cookies look like?

Kurt made chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and some kind of shortbread with a berry jelly on top.

2) Does my character maintain their mental capacity?

Yes! This doesn't affect their minds. They may have some minor impulses that go along with the animal, but nothing beyond that. (Example, if someone is a cat they might see something dangling and want to bat at it. They aren't possessed to do so, just a light desire.)

3) Is there any way to reverse it?

No. It's just going to go away on its own. You can opt out by simply not having your character eat the cookies.

4) What kind of animals? How do I know what animal my character becomes?

Any animal! Cat, dog, monkey, deer, iguana, etc. Maybe we could try to keep the animals from being too big since the ship is limited in space- so let's limit the number of moose and elephant-people.

5) Are there any physical sensations?

The new tails and ears are part of the person. Just like an arm or any other part of the body, if the tail gets hurt the character feels it!
