"Turn James into a big, stupid gorilla" Nicola whispered almost seductively into the remote before placing it down by her side.
Suddenly able to move again, James stumbled forward in confusion monentarily before he felt his whole body beginning to bulk up, quickly feeling dramatically heavier, stronger and more muscular than it should have been. He fell into a hunched position and was naturally inclined to rest his hands on the floor as he was already struggling to support his newly forming body shape in an upright position.
Nicola squealed with delight as her friend's hair became darker and began to quickly spread from his head down and across his whole body. She jumped down from the table to get a closer look as James' face began to contort into siman features that made him virtually unrecognisable - his jaw jutting out, his nose almost shrinking into his face and his ears pushing themselves upwards. She kept hold of the remote for protection against the beast her colleague was quickly becoming.
Meanwhile, James could almost feel his IQ dropping by the second to something sub human, though still well above what would be normal for an ape. He was still aware of who he was and what he was supposed to be but his ability to reason had diminished and he would be guided much more by base emotion and instinct for as long as he was in this form. At the monent those were fear and anger.
"See, I told you I was a witch!" Nicola boasted to the fully formed ape sitting in front of her. James grunted back agressively.
"Now, now! I wouldn't try anything with me." Nicola warned "I could just as easily make you a slug you know!"
James was still smart enough to restrain himself.
"Look at you, James! You're a gorilla and there's nothing you can do about it! If you tried to tell anyone who you really are they wouldb't understand you. You'd probably be put in a zoo if anyone even saw you like that. So I guess you'll just have to hang out with me until I get bored of tormenting you! Which won't be any time soon, I should add"
Nicola reached for her bag and pulled out a banana she had been intending to have for her lunch. She semi peeled it and passed it to her victim.
"There, have a banana monkey!" she mocked. James instinctively pushed it back, but a threatening look of disapproval persuaded him to take it and eat it as the witch apparently desired.
Nicola applauded herself as she watched her friend sitting ungraciously on the floor in the form of a hairy ape, eating a banana for her amusement just as ahe had willed. This was the kind of power she could get used to.
"Ok, so what shall I do to you next?" she asked enthusiastically.
