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

Air Creatures
You find yourself in what appears to be a glass room suspended high in the sky.
The stairs are blocked by a force field.
You realise you have to go through one of the three sky blue doors numbed 1,2 & 3.

A Fine Bird of Prey
Timer: 1m.0h.0d.0w.0y
Current Form: Anthro Red Tailed Hawk
Humanity: 47%
You pull the costume of a Red Tailed Hawk down from it's peg and look it over admiringly.
You run your fingers through the rust colored feathers, noticing how real they feel. The chest feathers, a soft cream color, are soft and light. You unzip the back, noticing, as you do, the large wings and long tail feathers.
As you slide the costume up over your legs, you feel goosebumps running up them. Shivering slightly, you pull the costume the rest of the way and zip it up. It breaths quite effectively and you feel like you could be comfortable in a warm climate.
You pick up the head, looking at the curved yellow and black beak and piercing yellow eyes. The crown of feathers are swept back as though they've been through a wind tunnel. You hesitate for a moment before letting the head fall over your own.
The head almost instantly seems to press slightly around your neck. For a split second, you choke from the pressure being placed upon your windpipe, but then the pressure alleviates and you reach up to rub your throat. You can feel your costumed hands running through the feathers that have become a part of your body. The feeling is comforting to say the least.
Next, the slight pressure is felt all across your torso, causing you to tense up for a minute. The pressure alleviates as feeling comes into your wings and tail feathers, which you flex experimentally. You run your hands through your new chest feathers, once again comforted by the feeling.
You clench your fingers as pressure runs down your arms. You're hands become a set of sharp talons as the pressure alleviates. However, it is only a few seconds of relief before the now familiar pressure runs down your legs, producing the same results as the hands.
As you are marveling at your plumage, you feel your face go temporarily numb. As feeling returns, you clack your new beak, feeling the vibrations of the sound reverberating throughout your skull. Your head tingles and the feeling of hair is replaced with the feeling of feathers. You find yourself temporarily blinded as the eyes of the costume press into your own. When your sight returns, it is more vivid and sharp, and you can focus them like the lens of a camera.
With the transformation complete, you begin to sense something, rather than feel it. Your mind feels as though it is being slightly reformed to a different thought process, with different emotions. You still retain all of your memories and a sense of who you are, but the way in which you analyze these thoughts and memories is different than it was before.
Your thoughts turn to flying: how to do it, how wonderful it feels, the rise and fall of the wind under your wings and through your feathers. Your mind remembers the feeling of being preened, although the source of it is unknown.
Your memories, while still very true, feel more like a dream as your mind becomes more accustomed to your new body. You can't quite recall what it felt like to have lips, or to not have wings. You have no idea what you would do without your feathers. You almost feel like you should just stay this way forever, but you have another life. One that you are not quite willing to abandon at such short notice.
Slowly, the room around you dissolves like mist in the dawning sun. It reveals an apple orchard dappled in the light of Autumn, red fruit hanging from the boughs of the many trees that surround you. A crisp breeze ruffles your feathers, flooding you with a sense of freedom and flight.
You're about to take off when you suddenly notice a basket of recently picked apples clutched within your talons. You can also hear the sound of someone chopping wood in the distance. Something in your mind tells you you should be working, but the pull of the sky is just so tempting.
