'So now we are a pack of ten.' Jensen thought, 'Myself and Kaylee, the twins, the pups,
Martha and now our sweet Alice.'
Alice spoke in pace and in a calm polite tone, "Shall over the next twenty four chiming of
the hour you shall turn into a quite ordinary brownish gold furred deer buck and a quite
ordinary brownish gold furred deer doe. Any fawns you produce with each other or other
deer will be perfect game animals and share traces of your golden color and carry on
those traits. After all the changes are good and done with, you shall forget about anything
you will have missed from no longer being people, and have no desire to be people, and
will think only of your herd and it's duty in providing game for the pack. You will only be
able to communicate with each other and your fellow deer. You feel inside you a giddy
feeling of your children not having to learn twice times and all that rot and feel quite
frabjous at not having to worry about taxes and mortgages. And feel a deep sense of
grand gratitude towards the pack and Master. You really should use the time you have to
call your friends and family tell them good-bye and make sure they don't come looking for
you, and be consistent in what you tell them, but really shouldn't mention the game or the
pack or you're becoming deer to them, they really wouldn't understand. You really should
use your turn at the game while you can still communicate to help the rest of the staff
help the pack be prosperous and safe and stay in control of the estate in the next twenty
four chiming of the hour."
Bart's plan, Jensen had thought had merit, but he had forsaken the fact that people
vanishing would get their attention, and unlike the Perkins, there would be a logical
reason for people to connect the estate with the vanishing of the staff.
Thus the added revision at the end.
Of course, all the men and Marcine gasped at the sight of Jensen, the beast frightening
them to their bones, he was the Big Bad Wolf after all. The remaining three men turned to
run to hopefully outrun whatever the teller would tell them hopefully thinking that if they
didn't hear the instructions they couldn't become it. And just to get some damn distance
between themselves and the nine foot beastie.
Kaylee did a triple foreword leap right over them and landed perfectly between them and
the door.
"Now that isn't very nice." Kaylee said, "Alice isn't done speaking yet. Now stay still or it's
off with your heads."
Marcine meanwhile turned to the man who had held her hand and hugged him saying "Oh
Jack! Our fawns will be so beautiful!"
"Yes they will deer, yes they will..." He stroke her back.
"If you ask me you guys are cheating. Seems like you're making the transforms with dares
added in..." Said one of the two men who had said Dare daring to be brave.
"This isn't a MMO." Kaylee said, "This is a curse passed down by a coven of witches before
people figured out calling someone a witch was a great way to get back at them. Heck,
maybe it's where they got the idea after seeing how fast the real ones got theirs. And since
the website entry said how the witches like spreading chaos, it kinda makes sense doesn't
it that a curse placed by them would have some leeway?"
The three remaining men looked at each other fearfully and nodded their concession to
the she-beast's argument.

"So what do you think of Martha sister?" Asked Darla of Fran, the two on look out with the
rest of the pack downstairs in one form or another dealing with the ground staff.
Fran glanced at her, "The same as you sister, remember the details of our Transform? We
are all the same in all things."
Darla nodded, "Only in how we act, look, think, feel, and be. Humor me sister."
"She scares us a little, for I know you feel the same, not just in how unusual master made
her, but there was no need for her to be made Omega forever."
"But the Master has made it so, and so it shall always be so."
Fran laughed, "When did we become poets?"
Darla smirked, "I don't know about you sister but I had a poetry recital I attended often
before moving here."
Fran put her hands on her twin's shoulders smiling, "You'll have to recite some for me then
Darla, it doesn't feel right having a deviation between us."
"Does that include Julie sister?" Darla asked.
Fran made a small laugh.

Kevin touched the glass but it wouldn't give way, "Ah dangit."
"You know you can't do that without Alice's help dear." Martha said taking's Kevin's paw.
"Now come along, now that we've used our turns we can let the others take care of the
staff who aren't part of the pack yet."
"But I wanna see!"
"Some of staff could cause trouble before they're changed and I couldn't bear to see you or
any of the other cubs hurt. Alice can't be hurt and Jenny and Marcy have to help Master....
And that includes you too Master Bart."
Bart stomped his foot, "BUt it's MY plan! I wanna see'em change! I'll be alright!"
"The humans are going to be alarmed and scared enough, they were with me. And if it
really is a good plan, then you should have nothing to worry about yes Master Bart?"
"I... that is..." Bart tried to answer finding himself trapped.
"Then come along now. We can watch things upstairs with Mistress Fran and Mistress
Darla. "
Martha ruffled Kevin's fur with one left hand and held his paw with the other while her
right paws took hold of both of Bart's left and right and let them along, not wanting to
accidently be in the servant's foyer when the remaining staff began to arrive.
