"I've thought about this a lot and I really want to be an ant," says Oscar.
"I see. I assume you want anthro? Approximately human size and still able to talk?" the employee tries to clarify.
"Nah that's what she wants," Oscar points to Roxanne. The employee's attention redirected to her. She confirmed ...
"Yes, he is right. I know I won't be legally a human, but I kind of want to be able to walk and talk and do human-like things after this. Oscar, um, doesn't."
"Ah, I see. So you, Oscar, want to be a feral ant, and you, Roxanne, would rather be an anthropomorphic ant. Is this correct?"
Roxanne indicated that this was NOT correct. "Actually, our plan is for me to become an ant-EATER," she emphasized. The employee started to think. And then the employee started to speak again:
"Um, perhaps you didn't realize that this will make a species that, in the wild, typically FEEDS on Oscar's new species. I'm not saying you'd eat him, but it could makes things awkward..."
"We very much realized that," Roxanne was quick to add, "and well, I'll be the first to admit that it's a little awkward..."
"But I know what I want," Oscar finished the sentence confidently, and the employee started to catch on what they might be getting at.
"I see," said the Animalia employee, finishing scribbling a few notes. "Well, since you'll both be animals at that point, I won't try to warn either of you what an anteater might ... or might not ... try to do to an ant. All I will warn you about is that, um, animal remodelings tend to make the digestion process rather, um, unstable when one transformed human ends up inside another. Simple death of the one being digested is possible, but much more ... complicated, unpredictable fates have been known to await both parties."
"Hm, I'll keep that in mind," said Oscar. Even if something weird happened, he was looking forward to becoming food. Especially for the only person who understood his desire to be an animal.
"So will you be changing here, or at home?"
