Red Dragoness
"umm" you say as you watch over the costumes in front of you. All of them are of mythical creatures and you take a while to contemplate which one you would take. Of course you are immediately drawn to the costume of the dragoness. Dragons are you favorite mythical creatures after all. Even if you have to play the opposite sex you are still drawn to it. Bending down you pick up to examine it. The false scaly skin feels really realistic under your fingers as you gaze upon the red scales themselves.
"This must cost a fortune." You say out loud as you marvel the realistic level of detail the artist dedicated in creating it. Still you can admire it only so far before putting it on. The rules were clear, one whole week in the costume and they said they would fill you in on additional rules once your ready. Still, you are a bit skeptical, how are you to shower for instance. Still how bad can it be? Also it will be fun. You smirk as you discard your clothes, carefully opening the costume as you begin entering it.
"ohhh." You shiver as the cool scaly fake skin connects with your own, warm one, your legs entering the costume as you try to adjust your feet inside. It takes a bit of a struggle as you don the costume on. You have to stretch and shake it as you put it on, fearing for a second that its too small for you as you push your arms inside, the abdomen and torso already on as you fill the holes meant for your upper limbs.
"Ugh" you say as you stretch, pushing all the way down as you fell your hands reach their place, clasping the inner hands of the costume. Lastly there was the head, but that wasn't much of a problem as you simply put it on, it being attached to the costume. Wow! You think to yourself. These lenses are amazing! You see as if these were your own eyes! Either way you look down, not sure how you are supposed to pull the zip up with your new clawed hands. Sighing you take your time as in the end you finally manage to finish the arduous task of pulling it up. You turn around to collect your cloths.
"What the!?" you proclaim as you see that there was no clothes to be found. Neither yours nor the other costumes. You are CERTAIN you left your clothes here, and you didn't touch the other costumes. A small dose of panic creeps on you as you look around. "come on guys this isn't funny!" you proclaim, thinking this to be some sort of a hoax. Still no one answers you as you begin to feel... odd, as if your new scaly skin was slipping over your real skin bellow, rubbing against it, melding with it. You think that maybe your just hot, or getting sweaty under the humid costume as you try to unzip yourself, a hard task with your new hands.
"WHAT!?" you proclaim as you see that you cannot located the zipper. Suddenly you feel incredibly hot, as if the air from inside of your costume is being drained outside, leaving a vacuum as it creates tension, the costume sealing itself on your skin.
"AGH!" You moan in protest, waving your hands about in vain trying to grab and pull or peal the suit off of you, but to no avail. Yet suddenly, you feel rather cool, your skin somehow being numb as you feel you have a perfect synergy with the suit. Shivering from the sudden wave of coldness you yelp as you feel your torso and abdomen twist, or at least your skin, you are not sure anymore. Grabbing yourself there you sense a pulsing sensation emerge as you feel your being elongated, growing as if the suit was pushing you upright. You feel frightened but you do not know how to fight it.
"DAMN!" you curse in panic, swearing in fear as you try to tear the suit off of you, feeling it merge with your skin as you shiver, feeling a new sensation. You are not sure at first what this feeling is but you quickly realize that it is the cold air of the room brushing against your new, fiery red, scaly skin. You gasp at the prospect but you do indeed feel everything through this new skin, how is this possible you do not know.
"Help!" you manage to utter as the transformation continues. You fall on all fours as it reaches your groin. You yelp as you feel it overcome your nether regions, the skin of the costume pushing against it as it merges with you, your groin disappearing and now becoming flat, betraying your new gender as you become more and more dragoness and less and less human. With horror you realize you can now manipulate and fully control the long red tail attached to your posterior, as if it was your own limb.
"What..." you speak in confusion and desperation as the transformation pushed both ways, up and down. It is spreading down to your legs, altering your joints as the suit seals shut around your lower limbs, pushing past your knees and down to your feet, firmly merging them with the clawed talon like feet of which you now have full command, or at least you feel them like they were your own body part.
"uhh..." You shiver as you flap your new wings. You thought they were there only as a decoration for the suit but like your tail they are now very much alive and very much part of you as you flap them instinctively. Your arms follow the same transformation your legs took, your new clawed talon like hands truly draconic in their nature.
"no no no!" you protest as you feel the transformation continue up your neck, causing the mask to clasp itself around your head and face. When you open your eyes afterwards you notice your... different, you mover your head around and find that the ruby red dragon head with horns is now... your head. Looking around and getting up as you feel the transformation subside you struggle to get used to your new body. Overthinking, you feel your mind race, but you manage to see a letter at the bottom of your new clawed feet. Picking it up with your dragon hands, you see it's a set of instructions on how to get to some sort of town. It has very little words but its signed and has the seal of the organization of the event.
"Hmmm..." you say as you stretch yourself, trying out your new body and trying to get accustomed to it. You find that you have perfect motoric control of your wings and your tail, as if your born with them and were using them regularly. You have no problem walking or standing upright on your two feet. Your hands are clawed but for the most part they are very much human, having a thumb and everything else you would need to qualify them as human, not counting the scales and claws.
"Au!" You protest as you pinch yourself rather strongly, testing your new skin as you feel it under your strong fingers. You can no longer feel your old skin, now trapped underneath this... costume. The red scales which encompass all of you feel genuine and you exhale as you take another look at the paper.
