"Oh just give us a minute. She literally just woke up. I will properly explain everything to her too so leave us be and wait patiently outside!" Snapped Dr. Megan at the intruding medical staff. Not wanting to make her even angrier, the staff worker quickly left.
"Sorry about that dear. Now, as I was saying. You are a Harpy now. And no longer have hands as I am sure you are aware of by now. Because of that, whenever these kind of things happen, usually it means the new woman can no longer work most jobs."
You nod your head. It made sense. You couldn't even type well enough with fingers, let alone your feet, so most desk jobs were out. You also were not as durable anymore, so physically demanding jobs where injuries like muscle strains are not uncommon are also no longer an option.
"So here is the deal. Harpies are often bought by wealthy individuals to become their pets or trophy wives. The buyer promises to financial support the Harpy, while the Harpy agrees to belong to their owner in the manner proposed. Of course pets can become wives, but not the inverse, since it would be seen as intentionally abusing the Harpy with a degradation of her status. If you want to role play as a pet, that is fine, but a wife contract is binding. Fortunately for you, most if our staff fell in love with you, and we pooled our money to aquire a purchase license. We propose to adopt you as our hospital's residential pet. You will be given your own room of course, and will be allowed to roam the campus as you please. However you will not be allowed to leave freely. You must be escorted if you wish to exit the property. All your meals and needs will be provided for you too."
You couldn't believe what you were hearing. She basically just admitted to making you a useless person just so they could buy you as a pet. However, it wasn't like you choose a specific form, so they were completely in the right to do so. Plus her offer was actually a really good deal. You basically would be set for life. And it wasn't like you could easily get bored at a hospital which you had full access to. Your parents lived just down the road too, so you figured you likely would be able to convince them to allow you unescorted visits.
Actually, your main concern would be finding a boyfriend. Hospitals were not exactly the best place for a romantic evening. But you figured you could manage. "Ok Megan, I accept your offer, on one condition. Please let me visit my family unescorted from time to time, they live just down the road."
"Not a problem. You will just need to wear a tracking band when you go so we can find you. Welcome aboard Melody. Then without further ado" Dr. Megan quickly grabbed your head and pulled you close to her. Before you could even react a sharp pair shot through your nose and you were let go, now with a small golden ring hanging from your septum.
You awkwardly tried rubbing your nose with your wings, as tears filled your eyes from the pain. It was not that it hurt that much, but your eyes just watered up. Dr. Megan however didn't understand that detail as she gently wiped the blood away while appologeticly saying she was sorry. "It is one of the rules here. All staff who underwent an unusual correction process must have a golden ring in a visible location on their body besides their fingers. It shows that we belong to the hospital, and are not patients. And I did it like that because it is quick and easy that way. Here drink this. It will make the pain go away shortly."
She poured the fluid into your mouth for you, and in seconds your nose no longer hurt. "Wow, it isnt sore at all!"
"Neat huh? Anyways all that is left is to get you dressed, well if you want to be dressed that is. You are free to be as naked as you wish to be, but if you want to wear clothes, that is fine too."
"I think I at least will wear them for now. Though maybe later I will try going without them."
"Alright, let me help you then."
Megan helped you get your new clothing on. Basically though it was just a black halter neck style dress. The front of which was a plunging neckline syle, showing off all of your cleavage. The dress was really simple, and easy to put on, even for you. You were not wearing any panties, simply because she didn't give you any. However you didn't mind. Finally she went to hand you a pair of high heels, but instead, put them back in her bag and leaned downward, putting her arm out towards you. "Come on Melody, let me go show you off to your family."
You hop onto her arm, wraping your feet entirely around it while crouching down. You folded your wings againsf your sides. Looking in the mirror, you looked exactly like Dr. Megan was carrying a rather large bird on her left arm, except with a young women's head on the body. For the first time you noticed your hair had turned ash blonde and now fell down passed to your mid back in a messy high ponytail.
Seeing you all ready, Dr. Megan brings you out of the room. You really had to be lightweight because her arm never even sunk down once. Not even for a second.
Entering the lobby, you were met with...
