In a room
The sign reads
"Welcome all new travellers.
To continue you must go through a series of doors.
After going through you will pick a costume. You will then become a half- human and half that creature.
After a week(100 mins a hour,20 hrs a day,10 days a week) has passed you may morph and get another costume. To start of with you will only be able to become 40% human to 60% human.
If you put on a costume you will then become that creature, be teleported to it's home town and have to wait a week before being able to morph.
After 50 costumes you may change into one of your other costumes and become 30% to 70% human. When changing costumes you must wait at least an hour before you can change costumes again.
100 different species/gender costumes allows you to gender-morph and become 20% to 80% human
200 different species costumes allows you to combine costumes and become 10% to 90% human
400 different species costumes allows you to return to your world with no more morphing
And 800 different species costumes makes a polymorph and allows you to morph outside of this world.
Also if you have a costume like a centaur then the human part will always be human and is counted towards the human percentage.
Any gender/species transformation magic of yours can only change your gender(if you have at least 100 costumes) and the animal part to a different animal.
When you change into a different costume (that you already have) you may teleport to that species home town but you will have the week penalty where you have no costume changes.
If you die while wearing a costume you will be reborn at the local inn (or appropriate location ). If you have more then 100 costumes you will lose the costume you had when you died and go to an appropriate place for your next costume.
If you fail to make it out in 100 years(100 weeks in a year) one of your possible forms will be chosen and you will be permanently stuck in that form(apart from magic) until you die. Also there will be no possibility of going back to your world.
Also, one final note: should you take a female form and become pregnant, you won't be able to change your gender until the child is born, though the other aspects of your form may change (the child will change to match.) That is all, and good luck!
You realise that you have to do what the sign said to do and go through the doors and grab a costume.
Alternatively you could use the key system to determine the room

Water Creatures
You find yourself in what appears to be a glass room deep in the ocean.
The stairs are blocked by a force field.
You realise you have to go through one of the three dark blue doors numbed 1,2 & 3.
What door do you want?
Written by Catprog on 11 February 2004
Myth Water
You go through the door.
All of a sudden it slams shut and with no handle on this side it appears that you are stuck.
There are two more doors however and both of them have a sign on them saying
Costume room for Element: Water
Type: Myth
Gender: ????
So which door do you want

Female Myth Water
You go through the door.
All of a sudden it slams shut and with no handle on this side it appears that you are stuck.
There are five costumes in this room, all of them female, all of them are myth water creatures.<P/><small>

And the world seems small....
You notice a large fish swimming in a fish bowl suitable for a fish of a much, much smaller size. In fact, this fish looks as though it is barely swimming in any water at all. Out of curiosity you walk towards it and pick up the flanged bowl and realize the fish bowl is something you have seen colourful Siamese Fighting Fish, Betas, playing in. The fish in the bowl is instead a large-mouth catfish.
Upon closer inspection you notice something shining floating with the fish. You reach in and pull out a clothing tag. Interestingly, a silky, slimy, black, mesh looking women's swimsuit comes out of the bowl from where the fish was.
Words form on the tag. Instead of "clean in warm water, hand wash, mild soap, hang dry" you watch as the word, "Omega" writes itself in what looks like blood and then bleeds away before rewriting itself.
You scare the bejesus out of yourself as you hear yourself utter, "Whomever dons this is the destroyer of worlds".

Come Again?!
You repeat, "Whomever dons this is the destroyer of worlds."
You realize this may not be a game after all, but the true nature of the costumes. No matter how any of the costumes go, they always seem to end or resolve by doing something to make the costume permanent. No, you see the finality. This costume is unlike the rest because it doesn't create a permanence of the body, it afflicts your soul and core being.
All other costumes are gone. You realize you either destroy the world by donning this costume or leave creation alone.
You simply utter, "No way."
"But it is ultimate power: the power to destroy and create in your own image."
You turn to see the wizard. You look at the clothing in your hand and drop it to the ground. "It's too much. No one should have that kind of power."
"Nonsense, this is a game." the wizard looks at you and then the clothing. "Take it." He motions to it and smiles. "It's easy."
"Too easy." You move away from the clothing.
"Do you know the story of Leviathan?" He turns and looks from you. "The Behemoth and Leviathan were two names for the same beast. The Behemoth was castrated and laid to rest." he pauses and turns to point at the lacy one-piece, "Leviathan was struck down." He looks to you and says, "But she wants, yearns, desires beyond all things, to be taken by Behemoth."
You eye him quizzicaly and ask cautiously, "Why?"
"To destroy the universe and remake it in her image." He looks to you and smiles. "She would remake you in her image. Give you all you ever wanted and desired. Make your her incarnation." He moves toward you. "Sure?"
You shake your head.
He smiles, "Congratulations." he holds his hand out to you. "To be a wizard, all one must desire is power. To be truly great," he holds up a finger and points to you, "one must be noble and seek wisdom. I sense great potential in you. You could replace me, in time." he smiles to himself, "Yes, you could replace me just fine."
You look to him and nod solemnly. "I'm ready."
He chuckles and laughs at you, "No you are not!" he chuckles again, "But I will indeed teach you all I know before my time is through."
You ask hesitantly, "You are dying?"
"I should think not!" You move back as his voice booms thunderously in response to your query before he coughs and chuckles again. He warmly smiles to you. You actually feel a sense of love from him. he picks up the garment from the floor and puts it back in the fishbowl where it starts to swim around. He calmly offers up, "Retiring, my apprentice." he raises as finger and turns back to you before adding in unison to you, "After your training."
"So where you retiring to, Old Man?"
"I don't know. St. Louis, maybe?" He shakes his head, "Always wanted to go to the big city, maybe near a university town, and open up a shop."
You jokingly state, "Yeah? And what would the name be? Spells-R-Us?"
"Yeah." He smiles and nods his head approvingly. "Not bad. Sounds good on the tongue. A little mischief. Maybe a little justice here and there. The odd costume transformation..." He smiles as he loses himself in thought before turning towards you and stating, "This could be a rather interesting relationship, I believe."
