Reality Hopping
In this story you can hop between realities following these rules:
No more then
- 1 a Day
- 6 a Week
- 20 every 4 weeks
- 50 every 12 weeks
- 180 every 48 weeks
These measurements are based on your home reality.
Your home reality is the one where you start your journey from.
When you hop to another reality you switch your mind with anybody who is there already.
If you hop to a different reality then your home reality from another reality then:
Reality 3 contains you.
Reality 2 contains the person from reality 3
Your home reality contains the person from reality 2
If someone dies then the person whose reality he/she home reality changes to that of the person who died. (Using the example above , if the person in your home reality dies your home reality becomes reality 2. If the person in reality 2 dies then the home reality of the person from reality 2 becomes
3.)

The Not-Quite-Earth
You awaken in your normal bed, at the normal time, in the abnormal fashion of having 15,000 cubic meters of the Pacific ocean dumped on your front lawn, quite unexpectedly.
You must have missed the reality hop this time ...

Animal TF
As you are lying in bed you feel funny. You get up , only to see that you are changing. But to what?

Tiger
The first thing you see after this jump is the light pulling you towards a spaceship.
The second is getting covered in some sort of goo which seeps into your skin, following some strange sensations throughout your body. Things quickly begin feeling much warmer around you.
While this is happening you look around, it seem like you're in some sort of cell , the force field stopping you from leaving. There is a bed, sink and toilet, along with a bowl of water.
The wall opens up and you see a camera arm watching you , along with what appears to be more of the goo in syringes in a variety of shades of the same one color, but none too dissimilar from one another in any key ways.
The goo seems to have affected your clothing as it seems to be falling apart as the camera watches. You try and hold them together but it falls apart in your hands, during this you discover that your skin feels a few degrees softer than what you are used to. You find this odd, but information that is of little use to you, so you put in the back of your mind for now.
One syringe arm is now approaching you, while backing away you get a jolt having backed into the force field and the syringe drains into your chest. The other syringe arms have hidden themselves back into the wall. The only thing left is the camera watching your chest intently, waiting for something, what that could be summons a few feelings of fear and discomfort. The anticipation swiftly wears upon your psyche.
The something soon is clear as striped fur grows over your chest, spreading from the point of injection. You try and remember what you wished for as you jumped into this reality. Animal transformation wasn't it? Perhaps it is a tiger that you're becoming?
While you are looking at your chest you feel a prick behind you and you turn to see another syringe has drained itself into you. And you see the tell-tale sign of a tail growing. Long and fluffy quite matching to your hypothesis that it is indeed a tiger you are changing into.
But just who is in charge here you wonder, hoping that you can get out at some point. By this juncture in time your skin has developed a fine fur all over. If you look close enough you can even see the stripes in it slowly forming in a wonderfully intricate pattern all over your fluffy new body.
You scratch an itch on your arm, all this hair is a little itchy as hair tends to be. OW! You accidentally prick yourself, it's not just fur, your hands are changing shape, they're a little bigger now and those sharp black claws mean serious business. They'd be perfect for dealing with anyone who comes your way and tries crossing you, but you may want to be more careful with them in case anymore of those itches show up. Fortunately you remember that tiger claws are retractable and put them away for now.
You feel a prick in the ears and brace yourself for the change, you feel them stretch up into what you assume are their new feline shape. Surprisingly you can hear the mechanical noises behind the wall as the arms move, ready to ambush you once more for potentially more changes or perhaps something far more sinister. What are these changes even for? Are you some kind of super soldier meant to fight an interplanetary war with some martians? Or maybe even against the earthlings? Or perhaps this is some crazy new futuristic health treatment with some very vivid hallucinations?
This is the point where you realize you have not eaten and your stomach is getting alarmingly noisy. A plate of meat slides out almost as soon as you come to this knowledge of your status. With the changes so far you realize the meat is almost certainly tainted with the goo but you are starving and the delicious smell finally overcomes you. As you eat you feel your mouth and nose stretch out, the new muzzle forming, as the rest of the head reshapes. This does make it difficult to eat, but not impossible. The meat has a somewhat smoky flavor to it and you find it to your liking.
You look between the force field and the bowl of water before tossing the water over the force field, watching it fizzle as it shorts out. Now that you are free it is time to seek out the aliens behind this experiment.

Outside the Cell
You look outside the cell, taking in the row of cells. The first thing other then the cells is the single door blocking the exit into space.
You feel your body still shifting as you explore the cells. It seems like you are the only one inside for the moment. When you look down you realize your paws have formed and you are walking on your toes. Your walk becomes quite clumsy as you nearly trip, it's very akin to wearing high heels for the first time. But it seems like your mind is changing as well as if you forget about it, your walk is becoming quite natural. Soon you find yourself skipping and hopping happily as if you were born like this.
After walking around the edge of the cages to what you believe is the opposite wall to space you find another door. By the door you find a control panel. Pushing the open button however does not open the door and it flashes red.
Taking your new claws out you slice open the control panel. Inside you can clearly see the circuitry to open the door. Once you have opened it and gone through you find yourself on a balcony overlooking a large open area. At first their is no trace of the aliens until you come to the realization that the balloons you've noticed floating around are actually the aliens in question.
You watch for a moment admiring how efficiently they move around before resuming the search for a way off the ship. Your new stripy fur helping you hide in the shadows.
This is the time the alarm sounds and at first you think your escape has been discovered. However when the ship is shaken you realise the ship is under attack. Strangely for a moment you feel your own center of gravity shifting, more forwards than before.
Sticking to the shadows you move around looking for any sort of escape pod or some other way of getting off the ship. Luckily the aliens seem to be focused on the battle and you find an escape pod and escape.
You notice the seats in the escape pod are quite comfortable, the act of merely sitting seems be far more pleasant than it did before. Was this something to do with the seat or was having a stripy butt a really swell thing. It's like you couldn't feel the more sensitive parts of your body at all! Of course it could just be a very comfortable seat.
Despite a few close calls with weapons and what appears to be a dragon you make it out of the battlefield and the balloon aliens shimmer and disappear, for now. The other group approach your pod and before you can do anything you find yourself inside one of their ships.

Other Victims
You sit there collecting yourself until you hear a knock on the side of the pod.
Looking out you see a bunch of creatures standing waiting for you. You push what you hope is the open door button and you are relieved to see the door opening. Not so relieved to see the weapons they are holding on you.
"I am unarmed, Those aliens kidnapped me and changed me" You say to them.
They nod and what appear to be a human except for the fox ears and a couple of tails on her speaks "Yeah, the same thing happened to me, and a bunch of others. If you follow me I will introduce you to them."
"What about the others right here beside you?" You ask.
She smiles "They are from the other main planets the alien kidnap people from. From Earth there are six of us, including you. Dolphin, Dragon, Tigress, Vixen, Unicorn, and Rabbit"
"Dragon and unicorn? I thought they were mythical. Wait did you say Tigress?" You tilt your head, you saw no striped cat of any kind. Except for yourself, but you were a boy? Right? And she only said six animals which was the number she said was from earth including yourself.
"Yeah, that is what you are correct?" She says interrupting your train of thought.
"You mean I was made female as well?" you say looking over your body and the 3 pairs of breasts on your chest, it slowly dawning on you that yes, You are indeed now three times as female as they usually come.
"Yeah, that is quite common among those of us changed, I think you are the 3rd one so far. It is almost as if the aliens did not consider the original sex before changing us." The vixen replies.
"Which ones were they?" You ask not only curious, but wondering if they have any pointers for a now transgender.
She smiles "Around here it is considered impolite to ask, you will have to find out for yourself." before continuing "And I bet you are wondering why it took you so long to figure that out. The same way you are walking on your toes, unless you focus on the changes it is like you were never human. Anyway with the dragon and unicorn it seems like the aliens can create us into mythological creatures and not just animals that actually exist"
"I remember being human though" You object, looking at your arms and recalling when they were covered in flesh not fur. The way it had been for a majority of her life.
She nods in response "It's not like you forget. It is like it doesn't matter any more."
"Anyway now that they have gone, we can gather in the Earth quarters. There are not enough of us to run our own attack ship, so we fit into our specialities on other ships when we try and attack the aliens." The vixen explained. What have you gotten yourself into with this wish? Battles with aliens, now there's something that might not be covered under your insurance plan.
"Why do the aliens kidnap people from Earth and change them?" You ask, from a glance it seemed like a somewhat a quite silly thing for aliens to do.
"It is not just us, they are kidnapping from other planets. We do not know why however. Theories range from brides to zoos to food." The vixen's fear seemed to ramp up as she said this.
By now you have arrived in the quarters. The room ajoins a balcony which reminds you of the alien ship. When you point this out to the vixen she smiles "Of course, our main base of operations is a living ship. This ship was grown inside her."
"It was? grown inside of her?" You ask in sheer disbelief. That sounded crazier than the ovaries and tail you have now.
She nods "Quite young, this was her first battle. She is yet to choose a name. The others and I have an even younger one for flying around in and trading. Not even big enough for the dragon."
The vixen whistles at the friend you and her were inside. "Anyway the mother of all the ships used to be much smaller, he was an alien who had been kidnapped. He volunteered to be injected with the goop while the other kidnapped people watched. This was in the very early days and he wanted to help advance the understanding of the aliens and their goop. It did not help with that, but it provided a base of operations."
"I guess you have no idea on how to reverse the changes?" You ask. Although it's not so bad being a tigress and you can't say you miss the fellas, a cure still sounded like some definitive need to know information.
"If we did at least one of us would have used it by now. Like I've said twice already, we don't really understand much about the goop that made us this way." The vixen answered.
"I guess that makes sense.. but I just realized something, this is embarrassing, but... i don't even know your name" you say. "Mine's [insert name here]"
She smiles "Viki."

Meeting the Crew
The other Earth people come in while you are standing on the balcony. The first you see is the dragon. Being too large to fit through the doors he lands on the balcony next to the two of you.
"I see we rescued another human" he says looking down on you, his voice loud and rumbling in your bones "Was there anyone else?"
The vixen shakes her head "Not in the escape pods. I don't know about in the ship itself." turning to look towards you.
You shake your head "I didn't see anyone else in there, other then the balloon aliens of course. Wait a second... how did you know I was human?"
He laughs "Hahaha, silly lass. Of course you were human! Why else would you be in the Earth quarters?" before going back to his normal voice "At least this time we got everyone off before they disappeared."
"Yeah, exactly what happened back there?" You question.
The vixen smiles "That was their FTL drive. At least that is what we think it is. Our FTL is different, A portal opens and we go through it. After going through a mading mess of tubes we arrive at our destination. Most people go mad if they are outside a ship. Alex here is one of the few who can go through FTL outside a ship. He also can fly outside without a suit."
"I thought I saw a dragon while I was in the escape pod" You say piecing together that it must have been Alex. You start to think maybe it's short for Alexis or Alexandria and he's one of the gender changed. You think to ask about it before remembering how Viki told you that it is considered quite rude.
He smiles at you."Yeah I remember seeing your pod. It probably has dissolved back into the goop by now though."
There's a clatter of hooves as the door opens and the Unicorn walks through. Much like the dragon if you did not know better you would not see any traces of human in their bodies.
"Hello [your name here]" she says walking inside , seeming making quite an effort to speak "My name is Robert"
"How" you start to say before feeling a voice in your mind {As part of the change I developed telepathic powers, and things like names are very hard to block.}
"How is your name Robert I was going to a.. Oh yeah that's right." You feel a little dumb for starting to ask given what the goop had done to your own body.
{Yeah. I was changed much like yourself , if you need help feel free to ask. I won't tell anyone though.} Robert offers.
Alex speaks up "The two of us were on their ships for a long time compared with the rest of us. While our bodies were changed the most we also got powers."
Viki waves her tails and specks of lights float around "?Unfortunately this is the extent of the powers I got. Did you get anything?"
You shake your head "Not that I have seen."
She nods "The other two of us didn't get any magic either. Anyway do you mind if I take these clothes off? One of the changes they made was with regards to my views on clothing. While out in public I can still wear them, in private I want to get out of them as quickly as possible."
You nod and she does so. While the fur on her body covers everything considered naughty , there's not much fur elsewhere other than what is on her tails and ears.
The dolphin is the next to come in, He is in a wetsuit that drips water. Before introducing himself he heads straight for the bath and hops in. He takes off the wetsuit and then starts to introduce himself
"Sorry, have to be wet,
, when dry I bet,
, itchy skin i met"
You look to the others "Is he always like this?"
They nod. "Yes, most of the time he rhymes" Viki says "We think it is part of the dolphin mind set that was installed"
The rabbit is the last to arrive. His upper half is completely human , while his lower half is a rabbit taur.
The first thing he says when he sees you "How do we know she won't eat me?"
The unicorn smiles and you guess she is talking to the rabbit before hearing in your head {Don't worry , Adam here seems to think of the worse case every time.}

Clothes
The ship by this point has traveled back to their main ship and has docked. Looking outside you can clearly see a forest growing out in space. When you point it out Viki smiles "Yeah we believe that is how the ship is powered along with the biological functions. "?
"But how does it work in space?!?!"? You ask, this version of reality seems less and less likely by the second.
Alex speaks up "Probably the same way I can"? reminding you of his ability to soar through space unhindered and without need for such things as space suits or oxygen tanks.
You nod having forgotten for a moment about that happenstance.
They lead you through a series of corridors until you arrive at their home. The main area connects to the balcony with a number of private rooms hanging off.
You look in your room and then look back outside , you pace between your door and the wall inside and the door on the outside. Surprisingly the outside distance is smaller than the inside distance. You don't think much of it though as by this point though you have gotten used to the strange things happening.
Viki knocks on your door once you have settled in "Do you want to go shopping? While you have enough fur to cover you, I don't know if you are like me with regards to clothes"?
"Shops? You have shops here?" You raise an eyebrow at this.
"Of course. I think there's at least ten thousand people here at any one time. Another ten thousand out trading with various other races. I am sure we can find clothes and furniture that you like"? Viki offers, smiling with assurance.
"I don't have any money though"? You say as you pull on your leg fur as though you were pulling out empty pockets.
"We have the credits. You will be able to pay us back as we do cargo runs."? Viki smiled approvingly.
"I don't know"? The thought of going out in public in your new body a slightly scary thought.
{This would be good for you} you hear in the mind followed by images of you looking into a mirror. Despite the clothes showing off your curves their is a feeling inside that you would look good in them.
You walk outside to see Robert standing next to Viki. "Ok you win" you say "If you are paying for it I will try some on."
