John managed to get out of the parking lot alright, but by the time he was on a street not too far from school, his eyes began to betray him. They blurred and cleared at random times, giving him the inhumane feeling of nausea. At that current moment, he almost regretted offering to drive at all, but he knew himself and he also knew there was no way around it. Despite the fact he was closed up around others besides the ones he knew and trusted, he also had a kind enough heart. He would have offered to dig his own grave had he been dying. He just didn't want to see people suffer if he could help even the slightest. He could only guess it was because of what happened to him when he was younger. He didn't want anyone to feel bad or... well it was a stupid idea. But it was John, to say the least. There was much more to him than that.

A few slight swerves and out of place turns indicated better than his words or expression ever could that he felt just as terrible as his classmates. He ignored the pain and dizziness and kept driving, no matter how badly he felt. When he finally got to Marie's house, the strain from keeping the show was evident in his expression and his voice. "Here we are... next stop May-" He had been getting out of the car to make sure that Marie made it safe, when he finally collapsed onto the ground right beside his car. He was still aware of everything going on around him, but he felt it a dumb idea to try to move or get up. He'd only fall back down again. He coughed several times, before turning over involuntarily and beginning to tremble all over without his own say so.

Sorry for not being able to RP for a while. Um...can somebody please summerize what happened?

Its really confusing right now Kemiro to be honest with you haha.

Ooc:// Kemiro - I'll give you a quick summery. John ended up driving Marie and Maya home, but when they got to Marie's house, John fell down and is shaking uncontrollably. Luke and Leah both felt really sick so they left school quickly. Luke has turned into a white dingo and is approaching Nessa. Both James and Duncan fell asleep and woke up as their animals. I hope thats good enough for you to get back into the story!

Bic:// "John!" Marie shrieked as he barely got out of the car before falling to the ground. As quick as she could, Marie jumped out from the car, forgetting her pounding head and twisting stomach. All that pain slammed into her as she took a few fast steps, and she nearly fell over herself. She bent over the hood, trying to convince herself not to vomit all over John's car. After a few deep breaths, Marie carefully made her way to John, leaning on the car as she did so. She finally collapsed next to John's trembling body, coughing harshly and trying not to aim it at his face. As soon as she had control of her lungs again, Marie reached both her hands to grab one of John's arms in each. She squeezed them close to his body attempting to stop the shaking, but it didn't seem to be working. Marie's mind panicked at the loss of what to do to help.

Nessa took a single step away from the dog although she wasn't really afraid of it. Something about the canine reminded her of... of... "Luke?" Nessa asked in a quiet whisper, not believing it herself. She must be going crazy thinking that dog looked anything like him, but she couldn't shake the strange feeling of recognition Nessa had everytime she looked into the those big green eyes.

Luke whined loudly, wagging his tail excitedly. He barked, begining to pant. He couldn't help but thinking so hard about being a human to explain to Nessa. It was such a harsh thought, that one moment he was on standing, then laying on the pavement shivering. He had shifted back to a human form, and coughed.
"N-nessa.." He croaked, his muscles too stiff for him to move.

ooc: Are they clothed when they shift from animal to Human? Or is it like in twilight, their clothes rip apart?

Occ: Egg, I think the clothes stay on. lolz :3




Leah ran down a street trying to get used to running on four legs. She wobbled some but kept running. She was going faster than she's ever run before. Leah kind of liked it. Then she shock her head and thought, I'm a dog... this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Then something caught her nose. Leah looked up and saw a few houses in front of her, Nessa standing at the front door of her house. Leah stopped but tripped over her own paws landing in the mud making her snarl outloud. Leah let out a snarl, and didn't want Nessa to see her. But then Leah saw a white dog. Leah eyes darted back up to Nessa then back down and the dog... The dog was now a human? Then Leah reconized who it was quickly. She ran over to the yard trying not the get in plain sight so she hid half-way under a bush, and let out a little bark.

ooc: Just makin' sure xDD

Luke shuttered, coughing loudly again. He breathed roughly, and opened his eyes, before closing them quickly at the sudden brightness.
"God, I feel like i have a hangover...Why wont the light shut up!?" He groaned, sheilding his eyes from the light. He coughed again, before holding out a shaky hand to Nessa. "C'mere, help me u~" Luke didnt have time to finish his sentence, he shrank back and shifted again. His skin felt like it was being shredded and he whimpered loudly as he was, once more a dingo.

John was trying to say something in return to both Maya and Maria, but he couldn't bring himself to. When he opened his mouth, all that came out were coughs. Eventually, those coughs began to flood with red liquid. He harshly faced his lips to the ground so that he wouldn't get any of the blood on his classmates. His body was beginning to convulse into some weird shape. He had just brought his hands in front of him, in an attempt to stabilize his own balance. His legs, both bent at the knee, were beginning to take some strange shape. Everything morphed in a sudden breath.

His coughing subsided ever so creepily. Every time he did, it got quieter. Though the more muffled his coughs became, the stranger his body began to bend. His knees were picking themselves up off of the asphalt. His skin was starting to feel a bit slimy against the rest of his legs, and turning back, John's eyes widened in horror as he noticed scales on his legs the same golden color as his hair. His back began to shudder in absolute pain as his spine snapped forward, causing an involuntary movement. The motion brought his arms up against his chest, which too was changing. His eyes began to blur and refocus. Every time he would catch his sight again, it became more and more advanced. All John could think while this transformation was going on was: 'What in the-???'

Eventually, a tail sprung out as well, and before John knew it, he felt about the same height as he previously was, but he was standing in a strange way. Looking himself up and down, he saw green scales at the top of himself. The rest of his body was covered in the color of his hair. The gruesome scars from years ago were clearly visible on his back and chest now. He winced at the sight of them. His toe nails seemed to be at least two feet long and his mouth felt too sharp against his tongue. The senses he was feeling at the moment were too complicated and advanced for him to get used to at first, and after taking all of this in, John finally realized his new 'form' as something he'd only ever seen the skeletons of unless you were watching a movie. Velociraptor.

John had to do a double take when he saw both Marie and Maya's bodies contort into some kind of canine. He was confused and puzzled. What the heck could make them turn- Wait. He stopped to think, bringing his long, scaly snout downwards in a swift motion. The water! They had all drank the water! But then... John had seen a lot of other students buying from the vending machine... why didn't they turn into weird animals too? Or did they...? The possibilities made his head spin, and what's more, Maria seemed ready to either jump out of her skin in the other direction or ready to tear his skin apart.

He shook his head in a vast motion, staring directly into Marie's new face and into her eyes. "Marie, it's me..." He said, though it came out as a primitive hiss. He hoped to some powerful source somewhere that the message would get across, despite the differences between their new bodies. The only thing John knew to do besides trying to talk was something he wasn't sure he could handle. Marie didn't seem to be getting what he had said, though, and his options were quickly dwindling. Turning back, he noticed that Maya was okay... for the most part. If you didn't count being turned into a dhole part of the 'what's wrong' list.

Snapping his head back to Marie, John fought back the urge to yelp. He wanted to scream, to run himself for he knew what was needed for Marie to know it was him. And to know he wouldn't hurt her, despite his harmful appearance. And now that he thought about it himself, being in between two canine predators wasn't exactly a safe zone... they could have taken him down in a single powerful leap, killing him with their claws. His skin may have been rough now but it was still only scales. He didn't have deep fur to protect himself. Only claws and teeth that he didn't exactly know how to use correctly.

Twisting his body the other way, John showed his back to Marie, facing his frontal body entirely away from her, only keeping his head turned around to see her face. There, two gaping red scars tore across his back, reminding him painfully of the night his father died. He winced at seeing them again - like the many times he'd reacted when looking in a mirror, but he knew that those were his 'trademarks' so to speak. The reason half the school called him 'Slash' even though they never knew the exact details of the scars or had never even seen them. Almost everyone knew they were there. John hoped that this could let Marie recognize him easily, and be unafraid of his new appearance.
