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.
What door do you want?

Wings and Hooves 'N Stuff
The room is painted with a rocky, craggy path seemingly leading off around a corner of dark and jagged stone, but it is an illusion; you touch the wall with your hands when you try to follow. It's cold, here; snow falls from the very ceiling; not flakes of ice that a man-made machine would spit out, but crystalline flakes. Suddenly, it occurs to you that this whole insane scenario might be far more real than it seemed when you arrived.
Re-viewing the little golden female symbol above the door, you scowl. Who cares that much about gender, other than fetishists? Then you think, maybe this place was *built* by fetishists, and you shudder in dread.
You pick up the costumes and riffle through the pieces. Which one? Why? And did they really mean you'd have to be a girl? Ugh... Finally, you opt for a silky white fursuit with a pair of stuffed, gold spray-painted wings on the back.
You zip up the cold zipper. The suit comes up to your neck, so from the neck up you're human- GREAT SCOT! The suit latches to your flesh and squeezes! Your hooves pop out and clatter upon the ground as your new hairy tail follows suit, swatting snow out of the air like sub-zero flies! Heat on your neck marks the crawling advance of the suit as your ears stiffen and migrate, and your face cracks and snaps out into a wide-nostriled mare's!
"REE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!" You whinny! Wings erupt from your back like violent petals. In the snow, you shake your flanks off as the world goes slowly white...
The white clears, revealing an idyllic meadow leading to a green mountainside. Up on a hill some five miles hence, a Greek-style temple is perched. So, what... is this Ancient Greece?
Modern Greece? Fictional Greece? Is it Greece at all? Staggering around on your two hooves, flexing your "hands" idly, you realize that in this hodgepodge of madness you've landed in, you'll have to make a strong decision to make heads or hooves of it.

A herd
You have entered this costume with no idea what will be ahead of you. Wings outside of your back you whiny unsatisfied with the situation at hand. For all you know this could be the end, but you're a determined soul has made it so you will continue on. To find the next world, to find the next costume. With hooves firmly plastered onto the ground, you start to gallop towards the strange obstacle out in front of you. The first night would be spent here at this monolith.
The monolith that you had approached was pure white. With four large pillars supporting an overhang that looked much like greek architecture. Calmly your eyes scan over the area, perhaps there would be some sort of life that you could speak to. So far there was no such luck, just the sounds of your hooves underneath you. You stop directly underneath it - with the sun well into the sky you decide that there is still time to explore. Ahead of this monolith is a yellow stoned path. Cutting straight through the grassy hills surrounding you since you entered this world.
Carefully, you straighten a leg. Trying to test the land as you stand onto it. Deeming it safe you then start on your way across the path your hands touching the monolith’s carefully. Suddenly you are realizing you need to get used to your senses. Clumsy hooves don’t bode well, as you stretch your wings to get a good feel for those as well - not big enough to fly sadly. You pivot your ears forward to listen to the sounds around you - in which there are none. Just the silence and clicking of your hooves against stone. Who was here, who ran this place. There was so much you wanted to find out before you moved onto the next world in the next costume. That was the ultimate goal here to find the next costume and escape.
Soon there is a break in the path then. Beyond your sight is a group of horses, pegasus and non alike. There are about four standing in a group talking with each other. You cannot make out what they are saying just yet but their whispers were collectively raising. First the brown one perks it’s head up. With brown wings as well - you stop as the pegasus approaches your white form. Expecting him to attack you at first instead you are greeted warmly by the brown stallion.
“Greetings stranger, what brings you here?” He says as you take a moment to collect yourself. Did they know of the costumes, could you trust them with that information anyway. If you gave off the wrong information then it could be the end of you. You just wanted to move onto the next world before any trouble made itself present.
“Just passing through.” You finally answer as the Stallion then flashes you a soft smile. He turned to the other three.
“You are free to stay as long as you like here, there is a lake not far off surrounded by a forest. Plenty of grass to graze on and places to fly. These are my friends.” The stallion went to introduce the rest of the group there. Two mares and another stallion. It seemed like they were close but you reminded yourself while they were kind you could spend no more than maybe two nights here. Graciously however, you accept his offer to stay as it seemed there was a good source of water and food and you don’t know when you’ll be able to get that again.
You start along the path towards the lake that the stallion instructed was there. Happily as you were trying to get used to your clumsy hooves anyway. Your wings shifting along your back as you stopped under the note that your stomach has made it’s presence known. The hunger hits you suddenly, and you look around to notice a tree near the lake with apples hanging off of it. The Stallion had been right to say that there was plenty of food. You couldn’t imagine having to graze in a field. Though as you are now, you might not have minded regardless.
Carefully you walked over towards the tree. Craning your arms upwards to take a bite of the apple feeling the juices fill up your mouth. Your body is filled with bliss, jumping against the trunk you decide to gather a few of these apples. Snapping them from their connections to the tree and letting them fall. After maybe five had fallen you stacked them into a pile and headed towards the water's edge only a few feet away. Lowering your head to take up a drink, cupping the water within your hands. You didn’t even realize how sore and dry your throat was until now. Feeling the cold relief of the rushing water. As you raised your head, you silently wondered when you’d find out a way to get out of here. Towards the next costume.
Letting those thoughts fade from you, one of the mares had now made its way towards the river. A soft smile on her face as she took a drink from the lake. “So what made you come here?” she asked you. You weren’t really sure how to answer her at first. How much could you actually share, and how little could you share without it being considered suspicious.

“Just wandering around I guess..” You finally decide to say as she looked at you a little quizzical at first. Giving it a rest however she took one of the tree’s and collected some apples. Seemed like she didn’t want to talk to you if you weren’t going to give her details of the beyond or something of the sort. When there really wasn’t much out there. Just green hills and a blue sky, no trees and it felt almost artificial at first.
You knew that you could make no friends here, this world was one which you did not belong. Although somehow you regretted not taking the time to maybe enjoy this adventure even if it was for a small amount of time. After all - none of these horses and pegasi had to know you. They didn’t know where you came from, just you. Perhaps after this group though because it was obvious as a traveler you had shown them you didn’t want much to do with them.
Letting that thought fade from your mind, you moved over to the apples to take a bite. Each one feeling you’re weird teeth scrape against the fruit, happily crunching into the red object. The sweet flavors rolled over your tongue and down your throat. Happily you whiny and give a soft smile lifting your head at that instant to watch that mare for one more moment. Perhaps you just seemed strange considering you were pure white. So far you hadn’t seen a pegasus or horse just like yourself. As such your feet scraped against the floor. Screw it you decide, starting to meander over to her as she turned to look at you.
“Sorry I wasn’t so inviting before.” You said with a flick of your ear and looked off to the side. “Just a little stressed from walking for so long.” That was the only excuse you could think of. As the brown mare gave a soft smile then an laughed a little pushed her hand to her snout.
“It’s nothing, you just seemed like you needed some space. Me and my herd have spent generations here that’s just why it seemed off.” She told you as you nodded your head and looked at the lake.
“Is there any interesting places to go after this? Beyond the lake.” You asked. Looking past the large grassy hill. It seemed like there was a single tree on the top of that hill. Curiously your ears swiveled forward - maybe you should walk up to see.
“That’s the elder’s tree…..I’ve been too scared to go up there. Rumors have it though there’s a great forest beyond there with many herds in them. Past that an old castle - that’s all I know it’s forbidden to usually even mention the old castle.” She looked at you with a bit of concern. However you could only see her from the corner of your eye. Something about that old tree called to you. You turned to her, smiling once again.
“Don’t worry I’ll go up there when I leave, perhaps if I come back I can tell you all about that forest” You noticed a slight flick in her tail behind her. She laughed a little and waved her hand in amusement. You seemed pleased with that reaction, feeling a new sense of calmness about the situation.
“It’s getting late, come on let’s get some sleep.” You followed the mare back towards where the horses had met. All had fallen asleep as you would to. Next to the mare who had been so kind to you. Lowering your head on your arms as you curled up on the ground you started to drift off. Being enveloped by a nightmare of some sort. All was dark as you drifted into sleep - you would find yourself waking up with gasping breaths at this rate.

Climb the hill
As you woke up, it was a sudden snap at your attention. Eyes suddenly shooting open and your head raising. You could feel the hair making up your mane falling against your neck as it fell down. Once you felt like your skin had finally relaxed, you noticed that the group was still asleep. You didn’t plan on leaving yet but something about that elder tree was still calling to you. It was now or never to go check it out for yourself and see what lay beyond that large hill. With your heart pounding against your chest you tried to back away from the group without much noise. Turning around and heading back down to the lake.
At the lake you stopped at the edge, it looked like it wouldn’t take long to walk around it to that hill. You decide now is the time and head over to the right. Working your way towards the slope, you try to make sure you can keep your footing. Once you figured it out your wings helped you to balance as you climbed higher and higher. It turned out it was a bit farther up than you thought. Where the tree had looked so tiny before it was now started to tower well over you. That was the reason for its elder tree nickname of course. You leaned against the tree for a moment.
You arrived at the top of the hill with a triumphant huff as you stood next to the large tree. It must have been well over ten feet above you where the green started from the leaves. Your eyes scanned over it for a moment, nothing grew from it fruit wise but the tree itself felt like it had some sort of history behind it. Flicking your ears forward suddenly, you could hear the cry of a falcon. Stepping forward some more, it felt like the ground was going to give way under your feet.
Out in front of you was a large forest, the trees were so far together you couldn’t even see the ground underneath it. For as far as you could see that’s all there was - though probably streams and rivers ran through it no doubt. Excitement fills you and you have ever urge to start running over, but you promised yourself you’d spend at least another night here. Taking in a deep breath, you turn away and head back down the hill. A clear goal in mind now and you would get to it one way or another.
