"Ooh, I probably should've warned him about that..." Elise let out to herself, picking up the egg tentatively. Although she couldn't remember much about it, the egg was a magical item that almost had a mind of its own, taking things in and converting them into whatever it pleased. It would change age, race, gender, species, and even convert living things into objects and vice versa if it so pleased.
Sometimes it even had a tendency to take in multiple things at a time, and Elise was certainly lucky that it had decided not to do so with her. Nevertheless, she took the egg with her, walking up to the front desk, where a wizened old man lay waiting for her. "Um, sir?"
"Yes, what is it?" The aged man let out, peeking at Elise over his spectacles. Although he probably didn't look it, this man was a wizard, the very one that owned this shop, and the one who made sure that every item in the shop carried some kind of magic with it.
"I kinda, sorta, met a customer who was kinda skeptic and handed him this magic egg to try and show him magic was real..." Elise was currently working as one of the wizard's few assistants, and although she didn't look it, she was a magical item as well. 'Magical Girl Elise,' she was called, a magical item that bore an uncanny resemblance to a real person that could switch bodies with anyone by kissing them on the lips. "And he got sucked inside of it, hehe."
"Ah, so it's already begun changing him, yes?" The wizard said, not too concerned as he looked at Elise with a wry grin. "That's the third accident this month, though, isn't it, Elise?"
"Yeah, but I promise it won't happen begin!" Elise let out, the girl raising a hand to her head in salute, the egg falling out of her hands as she did so. "W-Whoa!"
Thankfully, the egg suddenly stopped in midair as it fell to the floor, the wizard letting out a sigh, having used his powers to save it. "Please don't break that egg, Elise. The item itself will reform eventually, but there's no telling what'll happen to that young man inside."
"Don't worry, I'll just go take this into the testing room and wait for him to hatch!" Elise said, a sheepish look on her face as she picked up the egg, carrying it off into one of the rooms in the store, the wizard sighing as he watched her go.
"What am I going to do with that girl..."
~~~
"W-What the...?" Edwin let out, finding himself naked in a vast pink void. "Where am I? The last thing I remember was that girl and that egg...?"
Suddenly, however, he felt a strange feeling coming over him, blushing slightly as felt almost... arousing? He wasn't quite sure how he felt about that...
~~~
The testing room was filled to the brim with all kinds of magical items, as well as books and manuals that explained each of them, but Elise was more focused on the action of keeping Edwin safe within his egg, setting it down on a table that was usually used for crafting magical items.
"Now, where's that book about the egg...?" She let out, furrowing her brow in thought as she looked along the shelves. "Ah, here it is!"
Taking a book from the shelf, Elise opened it, quickly reading over the basics concerning the egg, including its conversion tendencies. She let out a sheepish giggle once she realized that there would've been a chance that she could've been dragged in with Edwin as well, but she put that aside for now, continuing to read.
Apparently, the egg only took a short time to convert its victim, the time coming out to about 5 minutes in human time. Additionally, there were supposed to be sign along the egg's surface that would offer some clues as to what the victim would be turning into. Glancing back at the egg, Elise found that there were some small symbols along the egg's surface.
Using the book as reference, Elise examined them, soon coming to a conclusion.
