WP-004: Transformation Flowers

[Matope]

A new type of flower has cropped up around the swamp. Sprouting at the edges of the water, nestled among the mangrove roots, it has a shimmering rainbow coloration that never quite seems the same. Consuming this flower enables a Kin to transform for the time frame of one breeding, allowing them to become either the father or the mother, as needed, in a same sex pairing. After the breeding is completed, they go back to their normal state.

The introduction of this flower also has a strange effect on the greenery that sprouts around it. It infuses flowers, trees, fruits, vegetables, with a strange, chaotic kind of magic, giving them a similar rainbow sheen. Consuming this strangely magical flora will have an effect on all kin, allowing them to undergo an even larger transformation -- for one day they are able to take on the form of any other sentient creature in the swamp. Perhaps they become an animal, one of the plentiful pets/familiars in the swamp; perhaps they become one of the other kin species; or perhaps they merely change sex, to explore a different shape. Note that whatever shape they take will carry the markings and traits that make them uniquely them. The form this transformation takes will vary kin to kin, and will last for one day, in character.

OOC:

Transformation Flowers are a new official token available in the shop here at Matope! This item can be applied to a same-sex breeding to make it a full breeding that will be tracked in the OL as any other breeding would be, despite having two same sex parents. Make sure to choose which parent is the mother and which is the father when certing.

This prompt is a fun IC event to accompany this new item's release. When replying to this prompt, please make a new RP thread in this forum with [WP-004] in the title. The prompt will be open until the end of March, but only lasts for one IC day after which the Transformation Flower will stick around but the other strange effects will not. This prompt can only be completed once per kin. You're welcome to either explore the magical effects of this strange flora either alone or with another player. You're welcome to either pick a new form for your kin for a day at random, or select one that they would like to explore. Have fun!

When you reach a suitable word count, you can collect one extra RP point on top of the standard rewards for completing your RP.
