A strong itchiness overcomes him as fur erupts over the rest of his body, covering him from head-to-toe in a layer of brown fuzz. His feet flare in pain as they're forcefully transformed into a pair of paws, and all Jeff can hope is that the shapeshifting ability is nowhere near as painful as this. Though mostly anthropomorphic, the pain never consumes his face, the Chronivac not giving him a snout.
The final changes take place, his hands changing to be more paw-like, only having four larger fingers, though still distinctly humanoid, while his nails sharpened and turned into claws. Once this finishes, the pain begins to fade, giving Jeff a moment to catch his breath. "That... sucked, honestly..." He whispered between breaths, looking at the chocolate-brown fur covering his body. "I hope shapeshifting is nothing like that... same with turning back..."
Jeff sat in place for a few more minutes, recovering, before he eventually moved to get up. "Alright... I should at least try shapeshifting first. If I can regain my old appearance, I can avoid drawing attention in public, and could stay a Kitsune for as long as I want with no downside."
He knew there were a few ways to trigger such a thing, but the most accessible to him was placing a leaf on his head, so Jeff decided to try that method first. He carefully opened the door, mindful of the scratches left on the doorknob by his claws, then closed the door behind him, crouching low and dashing toward the back door to find a leaf.
