Mary had the perfect idea to test out one of the Vials. It seemed perfectly safe, wouldn't harm anyone, and would test out just what the Vial's makers meant when they said "drink". Her window garden of succulents was the perfect collection of test subjects. Mary pressed down the button on top of the box and thought about the drawer with the miscellaneous options. It opened with a spring, sliding out to reveal the five vials within, four arranged in slots at the top of the drawer, with the humanity vial at the bottom by itself. Mary took out the humanity vial, and pushed the drawer back closed with a satisfying click.
She moved to her window, breath catching and heart starting to pick up speed. Despite her caution, she was feeling excited by the prospect of these Vials working. The possibilities seemed enormous, exhilarating. The afternoon sunlight put a golden glow around the eight little clay pots, each with a tiny succulent housed within. Mary reached for the smallest pot, filled with a pale blue green plant with slender tapering stalks erupting out of it. She couldn't remember the proper name of it, but it seemed healthy enough and as good a test subject as anything.
She lifted it from the window and moved to the kitchen kitchen, placing it down with a click on the tile floor. She lifted the vial then, and gently removed the rubber stopper with a satisfying and quiet pop. She tilted it gently, letting just a drop fall onto the soil at the base of the plant. She waited, watching, and started to sag a bit as nothing happened. Not even the slightest indication of a change. She cast her mind back and then remembered, "All of it!" She said, grinning, and drizzled the rest of the vial over the soil.
This time the change began right away, the little stalks of the plant filling out and swelling. As they started to grow and balloon outwards Mary gasped, scooting back away from the rapidly changing plant. As she made room she could see over the course of seconds the roots and stems of the plant bulging and pressing outwards, cracking open the little pot and sending dirt and shards of ceramic skating around the floor. The plant's main body grew and grew, at first an undefined and lumpy mass of tan skin, then beginning to separate. Slender arms and legs, the swell of a skull and then face, and the growth of hair on the tan skin. It took minutes and Mary stared closely as the lumpy skull started to gain definition. An aquiline nose, androgynous features with a sharp jaw.
Mary blushed as she looked lower, over the slowly swelling chest. Small, and soft. Lower, past the flat tummy with the slightly tapered waist. The growing bulge separating into the shape of a small uncut cock, flaccid, over a pair of balls. Dark tangled hair filling in around groin, armpits, and legs. But the human body lying on Mary's floor did not stir, did not move. It stared blankly up and breathed slowly, slight chest raising and lowering. Mary swallowed and leaned forward, prodding the ex-plant with a finger. No response, not even a twitch.
"I guess," Mary said, shivering, "They didn't change your mind at all." She looked down at the figure, studying them more. Androgynous, a few inches shorter than Mary's 5'6", tanned skin, dark hair where it had hair. Mary shivered and considered the figure. She'd been single for a while and even though this body wasn't really her type, nor was it even a person, she felt powerful and excited. Aroused even. The vials worked, and she had basically made a human from a houseplant.
"I wonder..." She said, and stood, taking a deep breath. She was going to...
