Real world. Moments before second frontier.

Aiesha shuffled over to her bed, hot chocolate in hand and eyes bleary. For a moment she considered going through the proper bedtime routine of doing her teeth and such but then decided screw it. She was too tired and would make doubly sure they were clean in the morning. The various articles of clothing on the bed were tossed on the floor to make room for her, another thing which could be sorted in the morning, and Aiesha rolled into bed. A quick sip of hot chocolate was taken and then she lay back in bed putting the hot chocolate on the bedside dresser as she did so. 

"Ouch!... Double ouch!" A sharp stabbing sensation had emanated from and into the back of Aiesha head. This distraction had then caused Aiesha to spill hot chocolate on her fingers and the bedside cabinet. Drat! Now she would have to go... Uhhh... Aiesha yawned and forgot what she had been thinking about. Within the next few moments she was fast asleep.

[b]Inside Second Frontier[/b]

The dainty, harmonic song of birds permeated the air and a light breeze slipped gently through the forests branches as Aiesha begrudgingly began to stir from her sleep. Her bed seemed to swing oddly with the breeze and the previously supportive mattress rolled and rippled with each little movement she made.

"A dream?" She thought sluggishly as she tried to snuggle into her pillow. Dreams could wait. Aiesha snuggled into her pillow and tried to lie out flat, seeking the refuge of an undisturbed sleep once. Seemingly in response to her attempt her pillow yanked itself out from beneath her head and she face-planted into the harsh fabric of the hammock beneath. Aiesha opened her eyes. She was in a hammock, she realised. 

Aiesha jolted to consciousness suddenly, trying to sit as she did so. The sudden motion caused the hammock to roll over and spill her along with the rest of its contents onto the forest floor. Aiesha's face fell upon the soft, furry pillow she had just been using and for the first time she got a proper look at it. It was a tail. The end of it featured glossy black fur in a few rings before the tail became dominated by bushy gold fur. Aiesha's gaze followed the tail back until she could turn her head no further and so she turned her body too. The tail moved with her. This was getting frustrating. Aiesha tried the same technique once more before leaping on the tail, grabbing it and pinning it to the floor. 

"Owwwuh!" She exclaimed, leaping back from the tail only for it to follow her once more. Grabbing the tail that way had really hurt her... Her tail. The realisation of what was going on began to hit Aiesha or, perhaps more accurately, Felicity. she moved forwards to very gently touch her tail. It was soft to the touch and the fur upon it felt healthy and lush. Felicity tried to move her tail and found it responded instinctively, swishing side to side as though she had had a tail all her life. This was weird.

Felicity stood up and looked herself over. The parts of herself she could see further confirmed she had undergone a physical change. The parts of herself she couldn't see were covered in oddly familiar red armour. Her hands were also covered in fur, albeit much much shorter and smoother than that on her tail. She could rub her hands together without the fur interfering. She rubbed her face. The same fur was present, short and smooth, but far more interesting was the shape of her face. She had a muzzle. It wasn't a very projected one but it was there nonetheless and upon the end of it was what felt like a cats nose. Felicity opened her mouth and poked around with a finger. Sharp carnivorous teeth and a rough, cat-like tongue. By now felicity was almost certain of what was going on.

Felicity stood up, feeling the moderate heft of her characters light/medium armour and inspected the other possessions that had fallen out of the hammock with her. A pair of swords, a hat and a shield. The smaller of the two swords was a normal sized katana sheathed in red that matched her armour with a shield in the same colour. The most recognisable element though? The greatsword. Felicity saw it and, like the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle sliding into place felicity realized what was going on. She was in Second Frontier!
