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

Rat
You stand before the mirror, the rat costume draped over your arm. Its worn fabric feels strangely alive beneath your touch, as if it's whispering secrets only you can hear. Curiosity gets the better of you, and with a shrug, you decide to try it on. The moment the fabric envelops your body, a jolt of energy courses through you. Your muscles tense, your skin prickles, and you feel a rush of warmth that starts at your fingertips and radiates outward.
As your vision blurs, you catch a glimpse of your reflection morphing. Your body shrinks, limbs retracting as your form changes. Gray fur sprouts from your skin, sweeping across your body like a soft wave. You gasp as your face reshapes, your nose extending into a snout and your mouth widening. The mirror reflects your bewildered eyes as your ears shift, growing larger and more rounded, now perched atop your head.
A sensation like a gentle tug at the base of your spine catches your attention, and you glance over your shoulder. A long, slender tail has sprouted, swaying rhythmically as you move. Your hands and feet contort, forming dexterous paws with retractable claws. Your voice changes, taking on a chittering quality that resonates with the vocalizations of a rat.
Your senses sharpen. You detect scents you never noticed before, each one telling a story you hadn't been able to read until now. The colors around you seem richer, more vibrant, as if your eyes have unlocked a new spectrum of perception. Your muscles flex, your body lithe and agile, primed for movement in ways you never imagined.
Whiskers sprout around your snout, twitching and swaying with every shift in the air. Your posture adjusts as your center of gravity shifts, making you feel more comfortable on all fours. An instinctual connection to the rat world fills your thoughts, a curious urge to explore, to dig, to climb, to claim your territory. Your heart races, beating with a rhythm that is both foreign and familiar.
The sounds around you become clearer, your ears honing in on every rustle, every footfall, every whisper. You realize you can hear conversations from a distance, piecing together snippets of human chatter that you never would have caught before. Your body temperature adjusts effortlessly, ensuring your comfort whether in warm or cool surroundings.
Fine motor skills wane, your dexterous fingers now paws meant for digging, climbing, and gripping. Your diet preferences shift, your digestive system adapting to your new rat-like dietary needs. The rat world's social structure and hierarchy become apparent to you, guiding your interactions and forming a deeper understanding of your role.
As the final stages of your transformation take hold, a surge of empathy washes over you. You feel a kinship with your fellow rats, understanding their struggles, their unity, and their resilient spirit. The memories of your human past start to blur, replaced by the rich tapestry of experiences that come with your newfound rat identity.
Amidst all these changes, there's one transformation that stands out – the shift from being a male to a female. You marvel at how this transformation has woven seamlessly into the larger fabric of your metamorphosis, adding another layer to your intricate story.
Amid the quiet rooftop, you cast your gaze beyond, taking in the cityscape that stretches before you. The world has transformed along with you, revealing a new layer of existence that you had never before perceived. Colors seem more vibrant, details more intricate, and scents more layered.
