Description
You decided to take a class at the new school that popped up in the woods.Upon arrival you notice there are no buildings except a few, but most of the classes take place in the outdoors.
There are crafting that are outdoor, as well as classroom seating (though the seats are made of wood, stone, and sometimes chiton)
In order to enroll, you have to go through the beginner's class, which involves being assisted by the teachers in learning the basics of shapeshifting. like beginning swimming lessons, they will aid you in every part of your learning, and if necessary will walk you through it. The process is very hands-on.
Enrollment is free, as long as you volunteer for chores. Chores include: Cleaning the outdoor pools, guiding the trails for visitors, cleaning, maintenance, and being a tutor for those who are gifted.
Care to enroll?
(This is a TF RP, but I veer away from mature. Please honor that. Also if you have a character you want to transform into or rp, I might not want to. just depends on the character)

(I'll give you lots of chances to explore it. )
She seemed to hide her face from his as they ran, looking up the trail. "Ugh. I'm just not used to doing this on foot like this. What do you think...should I break the rule? They told me I shouldn't show you any transformations until you get...oriented. This is a pretty hippie-dippy school, by the way, and if that bothers you it might be good for them to find out before you blow their cover." she glanced at you and you could notice that although she was flushed now and sweating, she was not out of breath. She seemed to be unnaturally fit. "You'll get plenty of exercise while you're out here. You'll catch up, don't worry" She grinned at you, showing her somewhat large front teeth. She wasn't ugly though. In fact, she was quite a looker for her age.

"Why are you guys not supposed to show transformations if this is a school for shapeshifting?" I ask, huffing and puffing, but still following. "That's what I came here for, after all."

She grabbed your bag and threw it over her back, getting into her pace. She didn't even look at you for permission, but seemed to quicken the pace. Apparently this place was quite remote, not just a short walk...As you went up the path, you noticed there were patches of snow.
"I think I can tell you about that actually, but that's because I didn't promise." She slowed a little to a fast walk and turned. "Lately there have been accidents. Students have been going missing and things. There's worry that people are joining the school just to learn what's going on here and then shut it down. I've met at least one person like that. SHe was a total bitch." She shuddered. "A real jesus-freak. Not that you can't be christian and be a shapeshifter...but man. She stopped that one gender transformation halfway and the kid had to get his chakras cleansed before he could stop tightening up the change. Eventually they just had to do surgery. Bobby was his name, he definitely won't be coming back because of it all. I hear he's real messed up. But yeah it was all over it being a sin to transform. But people have been talking about what she said when she was at lunch and stuff. because there's plenty of time to talk up here" she turned a corner and waved you up off the path , dragging a bag between two well worn boulders. The air here was still and damp, like wind rarely swept between the rocks here. "She wasn't working alone and she was part of some kind of organized group. so we're kind of on alert. She wasn't the only one either" she said, gesturing to what looked like a wooden, rickety ski lift. Strangely, the trees surrounded the line, making it invisible from air. Down below the lift crossed a gorge with a rushing river. "we're almost there, don't worry"

"Not worrying... although... I am a Christian. Just not one of those people. The radical ones... those would have to be my parents." I look down at the river all those hundreds of feet below us. "Okay, worrying a little. Are you sure the lift can handle our weight?"

The rickety lift began as soon as they got in the gondola, the plank let down across the opening so they wouldn't fall out. "Of course it can take our weight. It can take the weight of a horse, anyway" she snorted, laughing a little. After sitting, Jessie looked him up and down. "Hmmm your parents are hardcore eh? How so?" The valley began to open up below, like they were going to be dumped into the stream. The gondola rocked gently, vibrating intensely on occasion.

"By 'how so,' I think you mean why," I say, still a bit nervous about being in the lift. Okay, very nervous. "Well they're pretty conservative. They don't really support any LGBT stuff, and when they heard that transformations and shapeshifting were becoming... I guess the word I could use is mainstream, they bundled that in there. Couldn't let them know I wanted to be a shapeshifter, so I had to lie to them about where I was taking classes this year."

"hmm prudes, eh?" she shook her head, her ponytail bouncing. "sorry. I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. A lot of christians are that way" the gondola jerked suddenly, stopping midair. "don't worry, it does that near the end. It'll keep going" Sure enough the motor kicked in again, just slower and with a lot more vibration, shaking them up and down. "ss---ssssee?" she said. Once it stopped she lifted the plank and stepped down. "So they don't know you're a shapeshifter...doesn't that make you a liar? isn't that like...a sin?" she chuckled, clearly enjoying being the devil's advocate.
The view was breathtaking up here. The mountains were snow-swept and creamy with fresh drifts from the week before. She motioned ahead where there was a strange lodge of some kind. "This is where people come to get ...acclimated." she let you carry one of your own bags, going at a slower pace.

"I'm not a shapeshifter, yet," I say as I step off the lift. "That's why I came to learn here. I heard that you have classes that anybody can take, regardless of skill. So..." I tighten my mouth to form an almost straight line. (Think like the emoticon :I )
"Acclimated? Like to the altitude?" I chuckle. "Never had a problem with height." I grab my bag and follow her up to the lodge.
(Alright, I want him to automatically be proficient in a skill. Like have a hidden talent, but I don't know what the skill should be. I thought maybe he could do anything that flies, like birds. It would explain his ability to handle altitudes well)

(Hmmm that sounds like a fun idea)
"Well, it's more to the energy of the place." she said in a suddenly serious tone as the wooden doors creaked open. A warm smokey draft of incense hit you both from within the large wooden long-house like structure. A fire crackled in the middle. "Sleep here one night and you'll be ready to go" she said, not looking him in the eye. She went to the corner to gather blankets and pillows.

"One night? So... that's enough to get me accustomed to I guess the feel of the place?" I frown. "But where's the school? Is it farther up? And... can I see a shapeshifting? Like there's nobody else here and I'm not a jesus freak. Heck, I write about transformation almost for a living. It's safe to show me."

She didn't look him in the eye, but nodded. "just...if you stay the night you'll be fine and we'll be able to continue on to the school in the morning. it's really close, I promise" she laid out some blankets for him like a sleeping bag and some blankets for her and some pillows, including a nice bolster for their knees if they wanted. The pillows and blankets all appeared to be leather, woven, or otherwise au naturale. Jessie raised a brow at his comment. "you write about transformation? who is your audience? How do you know about it?" she appeared to be dressing down.

I'm busy setting things up to make it easier for me to sleep, such as folding the blankets in half and doubling the pillows. "I watched cartoons as a kid and I was enamored by the idea of transformation. The protagonist of my favorite cartoon could transform at will into different animals and that's what interested me. When I was eleven, I wrote my first story and posted it online. Three years later, I found out that there were actually people who could change their form at will from a news article. Well, the rest is history. I looked up how to shapeshift but nobody explained how it was done but they did say that there was a school. And now I'm here..." I look up to see her undressing. "Agh, okay, whaat are you doing?" I ask, quickly looking away

She was down to an orange sports bra and black panties. "I'm going to bed. Do you usually sleep fully clothed?" she chuckled, sliding into a sleeping bag with a smirk.
"But honestly, you seem like a transformation enthusiast to the core. " she stopped and glanced at you, and her smirk melted into a serious face, "I think you'll really enjoy it here. I can tell you that tonight will be a test, but you'll pass just fine as you seem more than willing to go the extra mile to learn. I shouldn't say any more. I've already said too much. Just know that it's not always so awkward or painful as when you first start out. It gets really simple. Also, people tend to specialize in a favored transformation...I'm curious what you'll end up focusing on. Do you have any ideas?" she said. After a bit of talking she let out a yawn.

There was an overpowering smell that woke him. He would have noticed that Jessie was gone, her blanket rolled up. Where she used to be was a large ceramic Urn with a stopper on top. The smell appeared to be coming from the fire, which was now just coals; it was like burning rubber or metal-- very industrial smelling.

The urn has a note attached to the neck by a silver-colored cord. It says, "Open me only in case of great pain or discomfort. there will be no going back" At the fireplace you see some of the flames are greenish and bluish in hue. You notice that your hair is beginning to stand up like you are filled with static, and you can feel your clothes clinging. There is no answer from Jessie.

As you go to open the door, you notice that it's locked from the outside. You notice that your stomach feels very strange, and your shirt seems to have a lot of air between it and the skin of your belly. You also can feel your static hair falling out in clumps. One eyelash, almost complete, falls into your hand, and you can see that your fingers are becoming thin and smooth (not a tg, don't worry)

"Hey! Where are you!? What's happening to me? What am I becoming?!" I shout, trying to comb over every inch of the lodge, although I'm not feeling quite as great now that I'm becoming much thinner and all my hair is going.

(ha! how do you know what a nephite is? . Also I'm trying to do clean RP's so if it gets too weird let me know. I'm better than I used to be as far as meeting that goal.)
Soon you notice that all your hair is either stuck to your skin in your clothes, or in your clothing. You notice your head is becoming flatter and a little pointed. You can feel it shrinking and your head has a rush of motion as your arms begin to become stubby and your legs do as well. There is a strange stabbing pain near your tail bone that feels like you've been kicked there very hard. it throbs harder and harder, like you've been constipated for days. The feeling of tightness in your gut crawls up through you and you notice that it continues up into your neck, making it stiff. You manage to open your mouth and you see your tongue in a mirror. It's silver.

ZephyrStranded In reply to BlackDragonTFArt [2017-01-23 02:45:00 +0000 UTC]
As you bend, you notice your knees stick together like powerful magnets and then the rest of your leg slowly but surely bends, twisting the skin to attach to itself all the way down your legs. Where they join it feels cold and wet, and there is a tingling sensation. You notice that where the tingling is, there is silver, spreading out from the places where your legs touch.
(How did you learn about TF stuff? I stumbled upon it in college while searching forums and stuff on the internet. I found it really struck my fancy. ALso I RP'd on occasion from the age of 13 or so and I got back into it, finding that there were TF enthusiasts willing to RP that kind of stuff with me. it's fun!)

(moved here? Also what do you think being obsessed with transformation stuff means? You are becoming a spoon)
Soon your round, slightly pointed head began to cave in on itself, your face falling back into the chilly recess that was your head. You noticed that your head was flattening into a spoon shape. Your body was shrinking faster and faster, tightening all aroudn. You dropped to the floor, your legs feeling like they were bound up and melted away, your spine extended and stretched out, erect. You could feel the cold stone floor beneath your body. The metallic smell in the air was gone.
A moment later Jessie came in through some side door you hadn't noticed ,though you couldn't see well from your stand point. (what was his name again?) she looked around, saw the clothes, noticed that the spoon was on the ground. You could feel her hand warmth on you spread quickly, as metal has the tendency to conduct heat so well. She picked you up, looking you over. She seemed to not notice that you were turned into a spoon. she seemed more interested in where this brand new spoon came from. She pulled out a package of yogurt and opened it.

(Cambus)
I just kind of watch as this happens. I had just become a piece of silverware and Jessie didn't even seem to care! She must've thought I was just a piece of silverware!
But if that were the case, where did she think I was? She saw my clothes, came in after I fell silent... was this the test she mentioned the other night?
I couldn't stay like this. As I was being lowered into the small tub of yogurt I concentrated on turning back. Surely I could, couldn't I?

(I'm obsessed as well. totally addicted to it. I would love to be a shapeshifter to be honest. or to be transformed against my will, even though it would be something i'd want haha)
She dipped you in the yogurt and was about to put you in her mouth when she hesitated. "what am I thinking? I just found this on the floor!" she put the yogurt down and went to a side bathroom where there was a sink and began washing you off. It felt so cold, but it was refreshing to have it all off. She sighed. "I wonder what he turned into?" and walked around the room, looking at the furniture, shaking her head. "not...a single...new...thing...did he shrink?" she looked at the spoon. "oh god" she yelped. "Well, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is you are a spoon, but he good news is you definitely passed. I thought you would" she put you in her pocket and began picking up your clothes, rolling them up neatly. "let's get you changed back. "
(so, transformation in this world rarely happens by will power. it does involve concentration and meditation, well some of it does, but trying to change won't change you.)
She drew a symbol on the floor, placed the clothing on it and wrapped you in it. It felt like being smothered, but for some reason you didn't feel the need to get a breath of air. You were a spoon after all.
Jessie sat cross-legged and put her hands on the floor next to the clothes and hummed. It wasn't clear what she was doing, but it looked like her eyelids were twitching. Suddenly the symbol she drew glowed and there was a crackle. You felt your hands and fingers and toes crack like you hadn't cracked them in a long time, and you felt a swirl of zippers and heat as your clothing whipped around your skin, somehow getting onto you in an instant. You were restored. But inexplicably wet. "Sorry, forgot to dry you off" she said.

(Getting transformed is my (literal) dream. Hell I even think I know how to... just never got there yet. And tfs are object or ritual based? Cool, but what if you need to do a quick and speedy one?)
I look over myself. "Fingers! Toes! Hair! Ah, yes! All my parts are in order!!" I laugh and lay back down. "To be honest, it was rather scary to not know what I was transforming into. Even scarier to be alone during the whole thing. But... the actual being in a different form? That was awesome."
I sit back up. "But what was the test? You keep saying that there was a test but I never heard what the test was about. Whether or not I can change? If I would react well?"

(There are quick and speedy ones, but they aren't random or unprecedented. you have to prepare and practice to make that a possibility. Wait, you think you know how to transform? I gotta hear this. I think it would be so fun to switch genders. I think it might take some of the fun out of crossdressing and makeup though? not sure hmm )
"It had to do with your reaction. We didn't used to have a test." she said, smiling sadly. "and a few people came who were actually against transformation and they knew enough about our rituals from leaked documents that they screwed some other students up. If you are against transformation, you wouldn't be able to stomach this one, or the other ones we have for tests. To be honest much of the test has to do with me talking to you on the way up here. But this is the practical part. " she blew a raspberry and stood up. "well, let's get you to your dorm and your first day of class, shall we?"

She turned. "Well...a lot? It depends on the class really. But rarely will you be alone. Often teachers will present a form and a way to transform and then help students hands on in groups transform themselves. It can get messy and it sometimes takes a lot of time and practice. Learning can be stressful" she sighed. "but don't worry, you might really like the pond. The first class is basically instant transformations. But what you turn into is "discovered" rather than chosen. Much of transformation is that way." she spread her arms out, "for example, myself. I didn't know when I first started here that I really really am good at changing into a horse. But a teacher helped me discover that by accident and I changed into me as a horse, not the horse of my choice, do you follow?" she tossed her ponytail.

"That's really nice. Wonder what kinds of transformations I'd be good at?" I start stuffing clothes in my bag. "That is, if I'm good at all."
I zip the bag up and swing it over my shoulder. "But this school sounds a bit more chaotic than any other school I've been to or even heard of. I'm a bit worried about how well I'll fit in, or if I'll be able to keep up with the classes."

"You seem to like the idea of fast transformations...there are competitions...I tihnk you're gonna be fine" she said chuckling. She took your bag in one hand and ran around you before charging quickly between your legs from behind. Your legs were forced apart suddenly and you were on her back. she laughed. "hold on!" and flames purred on the edges of her joints and limbs, lengthening and growing them like one of those fireworks that grows when lit and soon she was a full-grown dapple-gray horse. You were thrust into the air while this happened and she adjusted her stance to keep you up and then ran out the door.
You notice you are high on a mountain pass and along the path you are running are tons of students going back and forth between buildings, looking stressed, or confident, and they seem to be various ages and in colors you haven't seen humans in before. She dropped you off at the main square. "okay, here's where you get signed up for chores. first classes, and then go get your dorms. I hope I see you again. you're a nice guy" she shifted back, the horse form crumbling around her like ash and she shook it off. "see you" and left you. A woman stood in front of you with a clip board. "1st year? what's your name? Preferred chores? do you need an orientation pamphlet? do you want a class schedule?"

(We really should write and put this up as a story)
I was pretty dazed and exhilarated at the same time and was so caught up in the moment that I didn't hear her the first time.
The woman snapped and I was brought back to the moment. "Huh? Oh. Yeah, I'm a first year. Cambus Fredrik... a preferred chore? I like making food... and, um, yeah, a pamphlet and schedule would be appreciated," I answer after needing the questions repeated.

She smiled, then pointed to the lodge just down the hill in a meadow. Somehow the meadow hadn't been trampled bare from everyone walking through. It looked like a ranger station in all seriousness, but there was a big sign saying, "welcome 1st years" and a tall, thin, but muscly guy with long blond hair standing there smiling. He seemed to be waiting for anyone who needed help.

(Yes the horse tf was my all time favorite)
I make my way down to the first years lodge and greet the tall blond guy. "Hello. Is this where I should be going for orientation?"

(ah awesome!)
"Hey, welcome, uh...I'll help you with your bag, let's get you to your dorm first and I'll orient you on the way, okay?"
As you walked along a path, you notice that the grass is very short and almost blue. Something about being way up in the mountains rather than down in some valley. There were springs all along and it was a very green place, despite being alpine.
"So, your dorm is going to be near the pond. Just so you know, you can go there when there isn't class any time. It's a pretty good spot, although it's a little out of the way. As far as classes, they aren't like classes at school where you must be there no matter what. this place is for your enrichment and if you came here just to do chores and keep the place running for the rest of the students, that's great! You have to do your chores..." he talked like a surfer dude. He continued his spiel "but don't worry, that's where a lot of people make their best friends during chores. But back to the classes, they are offered at different times each week, so check the schedule to see what's available that week. Some classes run every day and are really helpful to attend consistently. Others are good to go and have an experience once maybe and maybe again in a few weeks. Go ahead and take a look at what's available as soon as I get you unpacked." you got to the little dorm. or I should say cabin. It looked like a cabin on the outside. inside there was carpet and electrical outlets, running water, lights, and two beds. It looked like a small rustic motel room. "We live a kind of communal life up here, so if you need something, just ask around and people are very willing to chip in. We even had some students build a new home for one of the professors last year and it was really cool." he handed you a headband. "wear this for the first week, just so people know to help you out and stuff. don't worry about not knowing what's up. it gets easier. Got any questions dude?" He seemed to get enough air even though he talked continuously. For a surfer dude he reallly had a knack for chatter.

"I was told by Jessie that I wouldn't be allowed to have all but a few things. May I ask what things and why?" I say. The strangeness of this school seemed so new to me. I already expected things to be different, but this was a whole new level. With headbands, house building, chores, and the inconsistent schedule, I couldn't help but feel bewildered. however, I do put the headband on.

"Oh, your bags. Yeah, you do have quite a bit of stuff, don't you? What do you really need?" he asked simply.

"well, I brought the essentials. Eight sets of clothing, towels, socks, toiletries... And then a computer and a 3DS. Is that okay?"

"we don't have internet out here, just so you know" he said frowning. He seemed like a very kind fellow and quite handsome. He had a warm presence. "But other than that you can keep the 3DS, I mean it's technically against the rules, but I gotta say you are a minimalist. We all have our vices" he winked.

"Oh. Well thank you." I get a bit embarrassed by the manner in which this guy presented himself, but, then again, I wasn't comfortable with many people. "But I'm not allowed to keep the laptop, am I?"
(Surfer dude's response)
"Okay. One final question: Where do I go to get a schedule? You know... For classes and chores?"
(I'll be working tonight, so if you could be up at 10 PM CST I would appreciate that)

"Oh yeah you can keep the laptop for stuff. Do you use it for gaming?"
"Oh, you're fine, I got you covered" he pulled out a schedule from his side bag. it was a rather dense booklet that had a schedule for every day of the month and details about the classes. He flipped to today, "it looks like in twenty minutes there is a body sculpting class, especially fun if you know any girls in the class" he smiled awkwardly and then went serious, seeing his humor wasn't as appreciated as he thought. "these are long classes so you kinda have to choose...but there's a costumes class up the mountain. it takes a while to get up there...maybe a twenty minute hike. There's fusion meditation at seven tonight. Oh it looks like there's a "first year chakra basics class" I highly recommend that if you want to get into more advanced stuff. And at midnight if you're still up and you didn't go to one of the later ones, there's a "nudity without exposure class" " He said. Surprisingly, he didn't smile at the last one.

"well, I suppose that I could do body sculpting... But that fusion meditation?" I check my watch. "I guess I can do that. Sounds really interesting. Where are those classes? And can I do both of those and go to the, what did you call it, chakra basics class?" I pause a second. "Actually, I'll do that another day. But where are those other two classes?"

"See on the schedule it has the location" he points to it, "body sculpting is in the central lodge. it's actually connected to the same building where you were tested, but only by tunnels." he pointed up the trail. "So if you just walk back up and go in the first door on the right on that building, you can get there in no time. Bring a swimsuit, probably, or they will have you do it in your underwear" he blushed. "I had to do that the first time I did it. It's fine, but not ...uh an optimal experience, you know?" he smiled.
"oh and you can ask anyone you pass by about stuff going on that's not related to classes. There are a lot of cool people here. If you get hungry there's the cafeteria, which is in the main lodge. That's also where meditation fusion is. But you've got all day before that happens!" he waved. "go have fun man!"

"Okay. Can I have the schedule? Like the whole physical copy?"
(if he does give it)
"Alright, thank you." I day. I then go up into my dorm and start getting ready to go to my first class, but realize I didn't have any swimsuits. Why would I have brought one, it's high up in the mountain!
I groan, grab the schedule, then run to the central lodge.
(if he doesn't give me the schedule)
"Okay. Well, thank you for the help!" I then enter my dorm and unpack. I then realize I had no swimming trunks. "Shiitt..." I groan before leaving the dorm and running to the lodge
