After everyone got converted and/or uplifted, there was a mandatory tour of Animalia. But everyone didn't mind, because it helped them learn more about what was where. It was also a chance to meet and socialize some of the newer members. Kira, the newly uplifted "goat-killing" cheetah Animalian was a bit more "known" due to being in a news article published by the BBC. But Daisy and a few other new cow Animalians were a little less known, but it was known that Shuixing was able to get them "sponsorship", as it's sometimes known.

Claw Coliseum was one of the better ones, partly because they were all able to pick up some new workout clothes. While most of them were a little skimpier than some were used to, most of them were practical enough to prevent injuries, among other things. Andre was often raising a lot of laughs from everyone by "teasing" some of the male workout shorts. Heracles, however, seemed to gain the "chick magnet special power", and also got the negative parts of such an ability, if the "schoolgirl giggles" that seemed to follow him everywhere were any indicator.

Golden Mountain Dojo, where people learned martial arts as well as self defense skills, was rather amusing, both by watching the mess-ups and dealing severe "damage" to male egos. Annie was able to do the most "damage" by breaking 7 concrete blocks, specially made for such things, with one blow. It was also where they were able to meet the rest of The Five Elements, who were in training for the IAC's Martial Arts Showcase and Tournament. While Liao's demonstration of the Urumi was a little unnerving, due in no small part to her focus on it, she was starting to relax a little bit.

Animalia School of Modeling was where everyone would be getting "confidence lessons", as they were known. While only a few would officially join up, it was still considered a good confidence booster. One new addition was the "Hall of Fame", where some of the best modeling pictures would be displayed. While some of them were from Animalia Magazine covers (and still had the article "advertisements" on them), the most recent ones were from the Egyptian Photo Shoot.

While the tour was pretty good, there were still a few surprises, but fortunately none of them were harmful, just amusing.
Adi opened a package from a "mystery weirdo", as such people were known at ASM, but what was within was a little surprising. There was some gold jewelry; mainly Arabian-style arm, leg, and hair bands; but there was also a sultan's harem dancer costume. She was blushing hard enough to be seen through her fur slightly, but fortunately Maggie was able to help out.
"I shouldn't worry about it." she said, "Some people are young and crazy; some are old and crazy; and some are just crazy. You probably got one of the 'young and crazies'. If you do find a bondmate, he'll love you for who you are and not your appearance."
