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?

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>
- A shell which you assume belongs to some giant tortoise. (thanks to Mr.Peaches) <span class="female"><li>Hippocampus</li></span>

Mermaid
You see a collection of items. As you walk towards them every other costume disappears.
- A tablet.
- A wig of blonde hair
- A padded seashell bra
- And a fish tail
Suddenly you here a large crack and look up to see water creeping in.
You swallow the tablet and try and speak but your voice has changed.
You put on the wig and it attaches itself to your head and you can't get it off.
You put on the bra and watch as your <span class="male">new</span> breasts replace the padding.
The last thing you put on is the fish tail , when you put it on you feel your legs kind of melt and form into the tail.
By the time the water has finished rushing in the transformation is complete and you swim out into the ocean.

Others
You couldn't explain it if you wanted, but for some reason, that distant figure out there in the water gives you a really bad feeling.
You turn away, and instead of the open water, you see a large coral reef before you, rising up from the sandy seabed; it is delightful show of grace and color, seaweed gently rocking to the flow of water, fish swimming busily about, Sea Anemones adding bright splashes of color to the scene.
You swim slowly toward it, staring wonderingly about at everything; below you, you see dark spots in the coral, like holes or the mouths of small caves.
You see something else below you, and you almost do a double-take: a splash of riotous color below you, greens and blues and reds and very color of the rainbow, they swim about casually or lie about, lounging on the coral, talking and laughing and playing with each other: mermaids!
You give a flip of your tail, and almost go tumbling; you correct yourself and then chuckle ruefully; it looks like swimming with a tail is not as easy as it looks! A little more carefully, you start swimming down toward them.
As you draw near, one mermaid looks up and sees her; she gives a wiggle of her tail and rises up easily from her resting place atop of a large sponge coral. "hello!" she calls, swimming out to meet you. "Are you new here?"
"Yes!" you say, getting a good look at this other mermaid: she has long red hair that floats about her head when at rest and lags behind her head like a second tail when she swims, as she is now. The scales of her tail are a flashing iridescent red, shading to a bright orange underneath and on her fins.
You two reach each other, and she reaches out and grabs your hand. "Hello!" she says, flashing you a bright smile. "Welcome to the reef!"
"Thank you," you say, a little surprised by her excitement. "It's-"
"What's your name?" she asks you.
"It's-" you hesitate, unsure how to answer; of course you know what your name is, but should you go by that name anymore? Now you are a mermaid?"
"My name is Sophia!" she says with a wide grin, ignoring her own previous question. "Come and join us!"
"Well, I'd love to-" you start to say, but Sophia turns away, still holding your hand, and drags you down toward where the little school of mermaids is at play.
What will happen next?
