Looking at Susan, still trying to wrap her mind around what was happening, Mary finally asked, "So where is this cruise taking us?"
A shrug from Susan, who explained, "Don't really know," as she hopped toward the door. Raising the hood on her poncho, she comments, "Though I suspect it will be someplace really interesting and having to do with whatever vial we may have drunk."
Mary nodded at this bit of logic and in quick, furtive motives, much like a mouse, she looks about, wondering if she should take anything with her.
Unable to think of anything, she explained, "Let me get a coat," as Susan hopped over to the door.
Taking a step toward the closet that kept her coats, Mary stumbled forward and as she tried to catch herself, an audible crack issued forth from her back as slapped her paw-like hands onto the floor.
Lying there, gasping out, realising that something was horribly wrong, she tried to call out to Susan for help, but all that issued forth was a high, squeaking like chittering noise that reminded her of a mouse in pain. In front of her, Susan had turned away from the door, a look of worry on her rabbit-like face.
As the pain in her spine intensified, travelling down into her hips and waist and up into her shoulders, Susan hopped a bit closer, the look of worry deepening.
Nose twitching in the same manner a rabbit's would, Susan asked, "What is it."
Between squeaking and chittering out in pain, Mary gasped out, "Don't...really...know..." as he body felt like it was being contorted and twisted into a new shape.
And then, just as quickly as it had started, the pain began to lessen and then simply vanished.
Sitting up on her haunches, Mary held her arms before her much in the same fashion a mouse would if it was sitting in the same position. Staring at the appendages, Mary attempted to stand and promptly flopped forward, back down on all fours.
Taking a tentative step forward, suddenly realising that her body no longer worked so that she walked on two legs, but on four, taking in the fact that something about her legs looked more like hind-legs and her arms now looked like fore-legs, she looked up at Susan and announced, "I think I have a bit of a problem here."
