Stay underwater for a bit

 


You decide to linger in the aquatic environment. After all, how often does a human get to experience true underwater breathing, an activity normally exclusive for fish. You allow yourself to sink to the muddy floor. You spend a few minutes watching the sunlight dance through the waterline. You don't notice the yellowish-tan scales forming on your body. Curious as to how you are surviving underwater, you investigate your body, not only finding the aforementioned scales, but three slits on either side of you. Gills. You can no longer return to the land whence you came. Your feet flatten and stretch out, facing outwards from each other. The bones in them have dissolved. Suddenly a crack is heard throughout the pond! Your ankles have joined together as one. Crack! Your calves. Crack! Your thighs. You now have a thick tail in the place of your legs. But it's not done yet. Your hips swivel ninety degrees, so that if you were to bend your knees your feet would move towards your ear rather than the back of your head. The rest of your body morphs into a similar shape, your chest barreling out. Your fingers fuse together and your hands stretch out, forming a pair of fins. A second pair grows on your belly, and a third pair, these fins wider than the others, near the end of your tail. A single fin sprouts from your back, and your ears and nose sink away. Your, er, equipment internalizes. Your eyes bulge out some, and your mouth widens dramatically. Several whiskers sprout around your mouth. You are now a catfish. Enjoy your life of doing things catfish would do.

  It is the night before Halloween day. A few blocks from your house is an old mansion. Nobody knows who lives there, but legends have it that the once Magic Twins lived in the Mansion but abandon the place for some mysterious reasons. Your friend dared you to spend the night at this manor, a dare you were hesitant to accept, but you took this dare to avoid the title of chicken. Now it is dusk, and you are a few feet away from the front door to this mausoleum. You herd rumors that this place has a curse or curses.  It is told that if a person enters the Mansion they must find the key before the clock strikes 12. If they don't retrieve the key by that time , they'll become one with the mansion. Another rumor has it said that each of the rooms here will transform the person and send them somewhere. And the last rumor was that what ever you touch with in the mansion is what you become once you left mansion. What do you do first?: Look around the yard Go inside

Look around the yard

 You decide that maybe you can cheat your friend while still doing the dare by spending the night on the property, but not in the actual building. You walk around the house and go through a black gate. You don't notice that it locks itself once you're through. It's a nice yard, the browning leaves of autumn make it a nice sight. You almost forget this place is supposedly haunted. Three things stick out to you, a dumpster, a pond, and a neat pile of leaves. What do you choose to do next?: Investigate the dumpster Investigate the pond Act like a child and jump in the leaf pile

Go inside

 You attempt to open the door, only to discover it is far too heavy to do so. You back up, get a running start, and slam into the door with all your might and momentum! It creaks open, revealing a once-elaborate foyer. Now it's anything but fancy. The carpeting's faded and torn apart, the crystal chandelier has fallen, there's a balcony but some of it's floor is missing and one of the staircases has collapsed, all pieces of furniture are overturned and/or ripped apart, overall not a pretty sight. There are several doors, but only three are accessible to you: one leading to the basement, one that goes deeper into the ground floor, and one that leads to the second floor. Where do you go?: Basement Ground Floor Second Floor
