Warmth. Warmth, brightness, and a pain that was pulsating steadily throughout her body. That was the first set of sensations Adrienne became aware of as she was roused to conciousness. She groaned, or at least she would have if she still had the proper set of vocal cords. [i]Ugh... What the hell happened?[/i] Her memories were fuzzy, and the sand warming her belly scales was pleasantly distracting. [i]I remember... I was at the parlour, finishing up with a client. Some dude who had wanted the exotic package. Then... a box? I was in a box? Ugh, I'm starving, can't think straight.[/i] She lifted her head, looking around. Her body felt... weird, not hers. Something was missing. [i]He left, Alice came down, said there was a walk-in. A chick. She came down, and then... oh. Right.[/i] She let out an angry hiss. Of [b]course[/b] her body felt weird, it wasn't even hers. No arms, no tits, no face, not even eyelids, which was [b]really[/b] weird. [i]Alright, steady Adrienne, worry about That later. So, dead bitch used magic, knocked me out, I woke up in a box as a full snake.[/i] She twisted around, looking over herself. [i]Well, at least she kept my scale pattern. I think. Ugh, snake eyes are so weird. Okay, next thing. There was a lot of shaking, I was being moved somewhere. Ugh, what is that? Never mind. Where was I taken?[/i] Casting about, she caught sight of a large object gleaming in the sunlight. [i]Is that... a plane? Or at least what's left of one.[/i] Memory clicked into place. [i]Wait... yeah. I remember a plane, I remember the engine shaking the box. Bleugh, just thinking about it is making me queasy. So...ugh, fuck that hurts... we crashed, I guess? Owww... this is why I hate flying... ugh... Okay, what the hell is wrong...with...me...oh. Shit.[/i] Shrinking spells are tricky things. When done properly, like the one imprinted into Adrienne's bracelet, the change would happen at a controlled rate and involved a minimum of disorientation as the subject aclimated to their new size and perspective. When done poorly, it was usually both very painful, traumatizing, and nausiating. In both cases, if the spell was improperly dispelled (such as, for example, smashing the box which Adrienne's new shrink spell and the transformation spell were attached to), then the victim would rapidly expand to their original size. This is an extremely painful ordeal, and depending on the size differential and their constitution, could potentially kill the victim from the sheer amount of stress placed on their body. Which was never a pretty sight, as the body literally tore itself apart and exploded. Fortunately, this is not what happenend to Adrienne. It was, however, excrutiating, and left her very, very, pissed. Her scream of pain could be heard clear across the beach. As she expanded her torso, or at least what most humans would refer to as her torso, dug a furrow in the sand, while her thrashing tail threw up showers of grit. By the time the transformation was complete, Adrienne was easily the largest four-armed naga the island had ever seen since it had been born. Not to mention probably the [b]only[/b] four-armed naga, or naga period, it had ever seen. For a few seconds, Adrienne laid on her back, chest heaving as she panted, eyes screwed up in pain. Then, she screamed again. "FFFUUUCCCKKK!!!" Slowly, gingerly, she pushed herself up with her lower arms, clasping her head with her upper. "Dammit! I'm gonna kill that fucking bitch!" After a moment, she looked at herself, and a broad smile broke across her face. "Wait... Ha ha! I'm free! HA HA! SUCK IT, BITCH, YOUR SPELLWORK IS SHIT!" Immediately she interlaced both tiers of arms, stretched them out in front of her, and cracked her knuckles. "Ohhh, that feels sooo gooooood." Planting all four hands in the sand, she began twisting around, cracking the vertebrae in her back. It was a bad habit, she knew, especially for a "masseuse", but fuck if she cared. As she made the second pass on her back, she caught sight of the other survivors, reminding her that she hadn't been the only on the plane. It also reminded her of how hungry she was. For a moment, she stared at them, and they stared at her. Finally she scowled. "What?"
