Practice Makes Oops (Gina)

Only recently had Amber returned from, quite possibly, the worst experience of her entire short life. She had been captured, held prisoner against her will and forced to endure experiments and fight bears and wolves. It was a time of her life she would have much preferred to simply forget about. The one and only good thing about the experience, however, was the acquisition of a new form, something very different than anything she had ever acquired before. It was a flying lizard, only slightly larger than a rat. After extensive research, she decided that the form was probably that of a Mecistotrachelos apeoros, although there were several other options but that seemed to be the most likely. A new form, of course, meant something new to practice and this beautiful sunny day would make for just the right opportunity.

In her human form, of course, Amber was completely unable to go outside in the direct sunlight for more than a few minutes without her pale white albino skin painfully burning. While shifted, however, she had no such prohibitions and had come to realize that her skin sensitivities were, in some way, tied to her gift. She was tired of being trapped inside on beautiful days and her newly acquired lizard form would be perfect for journeying out into the daylight. Dinosaurs, as it turned out, tended to cause panic in the streets, even small dinosaurs. Lizards, however, were completely natural in the modern day world and even if her particular lizard was millions of years extinct and thus looked a little odd, she was pretty sure it looked normal enough that she wouldn't cause riots or attract angry mobs. Both of which were very good things.

The first order of business was to find a place to shift and stash her robes, not difficult while on Mansion grounds. She found an abandoned classroom with a convenient window, which she proceeded to open, before stripping herself of her robes. Once stripped she began concentrating and the familiar agony of a shift ripped through her body. The agony was short lived as it always was, however.

Amber ended her shift on the desk, positioned just under the window. Unlike her other forms, this one felt...tight, almost constricted, perhaps due to the fact that it was the smallest form she had ever tried. She moved tiny little lizard feet and spread her tiny yellow lizard wings, trying to get used to the unusual feeling. Once all parts were accounted for, it was time to exit out the window into the bright and glorious sunlight outside. This would be an eventful and wonderful day indeed and nothing was going to ruin it for her.
