As she calmed herself down, the pressure of 800 legs packed tightly around her soothing her, she began to fall asleep. Growing 400 pairs of legs takes a lot of energy!
She awoke eight hours later in a disturbed state. Rarely for her, she remembered her dream. She was being interrogated over and over by police, and she kept compulsively giving them false numbers at a rate of 2 per minute for almost the entirety of the night, at least 7 of the eight hours. What she didn't know, however, was that tonight she sleeptalked through the entire dream. Thus, the dream lies had an effect. She didn't immediately realize the extent of her change, however, given the soothing weight of 800 legs is already immense, let alone however many she now has.
Jen uncurled herself somewhat, giving her torso air. She stretched, yawning, and opened her eyes. She screamed. All she could see in the park was her massive train of legs curled around her! She had to have thousands! And thousands she did have. As she got up, she realized that even attempting to count them would be a fruitless endeavor; they numbered beyond comprehension at this point. She continued to get up. And get up. And get up. She watched as the legs snaked around, rising one at a time for what felt like forever. She decided while she was still getting up, she should go get some coffee, so she started to walk to the local Starbucks.
Even as she entered the local coffee shop, which was several blocks away, she still felt some of her legs getting up. "This is gonna take some getting used to," she thought as she continued to snake inside. Luckily, there wasn't a line, so she could order immediately. She soon got her drink and left, careful not to have her 8400 pairs of legs pile up in the coffee shop behind her. She soon returned to the park, passing by her own still-walking legs, and sat down, enjoying her coffee and giving her some time to think.
"What the fuck am I going to do?" she asked herself, weighing her options. She did not yet know of the curse, as a week has not yet passed, however she could tell her lies were acting as a trigger for her transformations. She decided she would watch her lies as best she can, lest she grow more, but this was going to be difficult. Especially if she continued to sleeptalk.
