6 people are deposited on an island.
The 1st night someone accidentally activates a barrier.
In the tv studio the producers quickly realise that they can't get anybody out or in but the automatic cameras' signals are still working. They decide to relabel the show as fiction.
Now which character do you wish to start with?

A Lake with a Secret
You look up and down the beach expecting something else to happen but the blue barrier stays how it is, unyielding and not allowing you to pass. You thought this was to good to be true when you were offered a free ticket into a popular new game show.
When you decide nothing else is going to happen you decide to head inland and look for a reasonable home to camp out in for the rest of the season. You also will be needing a water source.
As you are walking through the island you come to find out that it was bigger than you had previously thought and now you are stuck in the middle of a jungle.
Panic starts to set in, and you start to believe you won't survive for long, which may be true. Then you notice a lake sparkling in the sun rays that make it through the jungle leaves.
Your hopes seem to have improved a smidge, so you go to check it out hoping that it will be a reliable water source. When you get there though you discover a cave perfect for your needs. And it is even out of reach of the water enough you won't have to worry about it flooding.
Soon you have a little bed made up of leaves made along with a fire crackling away.
Your lips are drying out now you realize and so you go to the pond to get a drink. When you look at yourself you notice that a girl is looking back at you. You move your right hand and so does she. You reel away from the water and touch your chest. Still very much a man. When you return to the water though she is still there.
Should you drink from the Water? OR should you find a new source to drink from?

Mirror Mirror
You decide that you are hallucinating from the lake of water so you cup your hands and plunge them into the cold clead water. You drink greedily from the clean water letting the cooling feel of the water soothe your hoarse throat. You finish drinking after about three more hand fulls. A buzz starts to fill your body and suddenly you feel sick to your stomach. Was it the water? Then you feel your organs rearranging themselves inside of you. You feel one or two more growing as well and that is followed by a pulling in your groin as you manhood is being taken. Then you feel a warm tingle in your chest as two orbs grow outwards.
You realize in horror now that you are a girl! The last few touches come now as you hips grow in size and your waist slims out giving you some nice curves. Your fingers, arms and legs become more feminine, and you face transformas into a beautiful face angled in just the right way.
You feel like you're going to faint, but should you fight it or let it come?

Fight It
You try to fight it. The last thing you need is to pass out and be eaten by some animal... not that that's the worst thing you imagine can happen. You feel faint as the transformation seems to have drained a lot of your energy. You are still not sure what had happened but you instinctively push a hand down your throat, causing you to gag and bend over, barfing some of the water out of you.
"ugh..." you still feel a light lightheaded, perhaps even more so as you feel like you have a migraine. Your thirst is replaced by a weariness and tiredness which you don't think is normal. Having little time to process this you take out your canteen, taking deep breaths as you bite your tongue. You don't have time to process this! You fill the canteen with water, maybe it will reverse your gender again, but honestly you don't want to go through the ordeal again.
"Hello?" you ask, remembering that this is all part of the show, right? You are being filmed are you not? It all makes sense now! Did they drug the water to cause you to hallucinate in order to boost popularity, views and reviews? You feel angry at this.
"This isn't funny! This isn't in the contract!!!" you declare angrily. Sure surviving and foraging are all part of the plan, but changing your gender and or drinking poisoned or drugged water!? What are the producers thinking!?!?!? You angrily bit your lip as you ponder your options. Do you decide to drink from the water again or not?

Chose not to drink from the water.
Better not risk it! You decide, god knows what they have put in this water and maybe your even lucky your only hallucinating this. Still... it did quench your thirst somewhat so you decide to bring the canteen in the case you don't find any other source of water. Despite yourself you see that it is fairly late and you decide to make a makeshift shelter here. With great effort you manage to gather some leaves and sticks and with little luck you find a hollow tree which you decorate and enhance to be a rather good shelter.
"ah." You meekly exhale as you put down your equipment. You still do not know how to feel about this. On one hand you are pretty confident that your drugged and that the producers are messing with you but you are stuck here... just they wait until you get a lawyer! On the other hand that woman you saw was rather beautiful, do you really look like her? Are you her? Do you want to be her? Such questions protrude your mind as your tired head feels heavy, your eyelids lowering themselves as you drift off to sleep at the first day.

Reaction!
"BZZZZZzzzz!" you are snapped awake by a rather loud noise as you feel the earth tremble beneath you. An earthquake? You don't know was this in the contract or was it just a natural occurrence? Maybe you are still under the effect of whatever it is that was in the water you drank! Going out of your shelter as the tremors stop you are reassured that it is indeed still night time but you gasp.
"What in the?" you ask as you see that the nights sky is... well, blocked. Like your in some sort of a dome and while you are confident that whatever this dome... light... thing... is you don't think it bodes well for you. This is starting to feel more and more real for you and you want to get out of this freak show! You came here to survive but so far you had your gender switched by that blasted water and now you....
"Crap!" you curse as you see that the barrier extends all the way across the isle, not that you have a very good view from this point but you can see it curve and have a bit of an angle. Are they making sure that you don't leave this isle? What do you do?
Written by Luksinatriks on 17 December 2017
Continue sleeping, choosing to think about all of this in the morning
You decide to continue your sleep. If this is indeed the consequence of some drug you will most likely digest it by morning, you think and if all of this is real... well... your in no state to make sound rational decisions.
You go back to your shelter and try to cudle against the bare, dead tree, looking for warmth in this damp place. What have you gotten yourself into!?

A rude awakening
"Um... hello? Hello!" You shift as you faintly hear someone speak. Your eyes begin opening and widening as you feel the usual morning blues. You see a rather young man standing above you, just outside your shelter. He looks decent enough even if it is evident he didn't have a chance to shave and bathe for a day. Then it hits you! You start recalling the events of last night. You immediately get up, nearly hitting yourself on the head as the man raises his arms defensively. "Woah there woah! I mean you no harm!" he says and you look at him as you get up. You don't know what to say as you touch your breasts, you are indeed still a woman. The man for his part seems mildly uncomfortable. "Um... My name is Marcus." He begins. "Pleased to meet you. I was told there would be others here, but no one told me anything about that thing up there." He speaks trying to break the awkwardness.
"So Im not mad?" you ask him and he blinks at you. "Im not the only one who sees something fishy about all of this?" you ask him but then you realize. "The name is Quinn by the way, pleased to meet you Marcus." You say politely.
"Yeah... the tremors last night... coupled with the fact that I didn't see ANY cameras..." he says and then there is a pause. "I am lucky to have found you though. Im dying of thirst myself and you have found yourself a nice little lake here." He says and turns towards the lake. Do you tell him about what has transpired to you last night or not?
Written by Luksinatriks on 25 December 2017
You chose to tell him
You think about how to approach the subject as you see Marcus go towards the lake, kneeling down and then you instinctively speak.
"Don't drink the water!" you call out loudly and he snaps, turning towards you. "Its... poisoned." You say, not knowing how to approach the subject.
"Pardon?" he asks, confused.
"Last night..." you begin slowly. He wont think your crazy, some odd things happened here and he could see it!!! "I came here I was thirsty myself... I saw the pond and... well, in it is a reflection of myself... as a woman." You tell him and there is a moment of silence.
"..." he looks at you oddly, wanting more explanation as you continue.
"I was a MAN when I came here!" you declare and continue before allowing him much time to dwell on things. "I saw myself like this" you point out. "And I was too thirsty to care. I drank the water and... and I..." you waver but continue. "I transformed... rather harshly... my head hurt and everything was spinning but at the end of it I looked like this!" you point out and his eyes go wide
"I believe you..." he says but ponders on it. "Still I am thirsty and we don't know where we can find another source of water... should I drink it and risk it?" he asks you looking for advice. You stop for a moment to think about his words.
Written by Luksinatriks on 28 December 2017
You tell him not to risk it.
"True true... perhaps something even worse can happen to me. You got off with only having your gender and body changed." Marcus says and nods. "We need to find the others and get our heads together... I mean if I recall there were six or seven of us..." he says and you contemplate his words.
"yeah..." you slowly say and think of your surroundings. Then it hits you, the summit! "Well... our best chance to meet someone is to go to the summit... Im sure the rest are either there or will go there soon enough... if nothing else we can get a good view of the entire island and decide what to do next.
"Great idea Quinn!" he says cheerfully as he gathers his things. You destroy and unpack what you can from your makeshift shelter, scavenging it for what little supplies you can. You two are ready to start your journey to the summit when Marcus looks at you.
"What?" you ask him impatiently.
"Quinn, do you want to try drinking the water again to see if it will change your gender back?" he asks your curiously. "not that I advise it! Who knows what this water can do and if it's the only thing on this isle that can do such things... but its our only way to find out." He says honestly and you contemplate his question. Do you:

Say yes the water turns you into a sphinx!
You look at Marcus with unsure eyes before looking down at the canteen. You are not sure what to think but at the same time you know that you don't want to stay like this! Yet still you are unsure if this is such a good idea. The barrier is up, the water is drugged, magical or both and has turned you into a woman. It is clear by now that the contract is a farce at best and Marcus... well he seems nice but what can he do?
"Don't worry, I am here." He says but that doesn't make you feel any more comfortable as you sigh. You feel incredibly stupid for trying to do this yet still, what other choice besides staying like this do you have? "Hey whatever goes, Ill be here for you, even if things go wrong and turn south." He tries to cheer you on once more. He is a sweet and a good man, but once more what can he do? You ask him just that.
"And what if this water changes me more?" You ask. "What if I fall down and begin changing into some creature?" you ask him. "How can you help me? Do you have anything on yourself or any knowledge how to reverse that?" you ask him rather cynically. He opens his mouth but closes it soon after as he realizes that no, he cant help you in that way. He looks on you sadly before speaking the plain truth.
"No..." he admits. "I have only limited knowledge in medicine and honestly I do not know how this water functions or how it changed you or... pretty much anything..." he says sadly and you don't feel any better. "But Ill be here, supporting you as best I can." He adds. Trying not to get annoyed you open the canteen and choosing not to delay things further you look at him.
"Here goes." You sigh as you bring the canteen towards your mouth, choosing to take it all in one go. You don't breathe as the water rushes into your lips and mouth, down your throat as you swallow it all. You take a few jugs and drink all of it before exhaling and whipping your lips away. You stare at Marcus and he stares back at you.
"Do you feel any different?" He asks you and you open your mouth to respond, only to feel a sharp pain in your stomach.
"AGH!" You yell and fall down on your knees, Marcus rushing to your aid, supporting your weight on himself as your abdomen shifts quite visibly. You pull your clothes up and once both of you see what is going on you look at Marcus. "What is happening!?!?" You protest before screaming. You feel your back shifting, bending at an unnatural angle as it elongates itself. Marcus clumsily tries to literally hold you together but fails.
"Hang on! Hang in there Quinn!" he speaks but the shock is evident on his face. He had never faced this before and he doesn't know what to do as your legs start to grow, your spine now approximately at an 90 degree angle as your lower body still mutates and grows. Your upper body isn't spared too much as your face and upper libs shift as well, but nowhere near as radically as your legs.
"Help me! Marcus help me!" you protest as you feel your hips are about to burst! You moan as your belt rips, popping loudly as your hips hurt even more, pressing up and out as your clothes are tearing themselves apart from the movement and the expansion of your body. Marcus is awestruck and doesn't know what to do as you scream and beg for aid.
"Hold on! Just hold on! You can make it!" he screams as he holds your hands, comforting you as best he can. He gasps as he sees that your hips are... pointing outwards two... limbs. He gasps, mouth open as he is dumb folded, not knowing what to say as he stares at your new appendages.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" you shout at him waving his hand as you feel your bones crack. "DO SOMETHING!" You plead as the two hip 'limbs' for the lack of the better term, grow! They spread out and worst of all you can feel them, feeling the cold sensation of humid air against your exposed skin as most if not all of your lower clothes is ruined and in tatters around you.
"What do you want me to do!?" Marcus asks clumsily as your new limbs grow and expand. You feel immensely awkward, semi naked and literally mutating in front of Marcus as the change goes on and on, showing no signs of stopping as you begin crying.
"What is happening to me!?" you ask as your new limbs stretch out, thankfully stopping their growth spur as your regular legs bend and crack, rearranging themselves into new angles as new joints develop. You feel all the sensation as your new and old legs part ways , the hips extending along with your spine. You feel that your ass cheeks are getting firmer as there is an odd sensation just above your anus.
"Ugh..." Marcus says as he blushes, not knowing how to handle this. Your lower body continues to grow, your legs getting father apart as you slowly feel that your new lower body is getting larger, giving you additional height as you cry.
"ah ah ah!" You sob as you grab and hug Marcus. Your new body finally showing signs of slowing down on its transformation. Just then as you feel your feet rearrange themselves, your toes feeling strange as you dare not look down on them. You feel a shiver go down your spine as Marcus gasps.
"Quinn!" he yells as you watches you change. "You.... Your growing, fur? And a tail?" he says awkwardly and you snap open your eyes, letting go of him as you feel the transformation slowly grind to a halt.
"What the?" You ask as you look behind you. You see that you have a lower body of a... horse? No, you lack hooves... Cat? Maybe. Your not a centaur, but you are a. "Sphinx?" you ask yourself out loud as you feel your new tail swish around in the open air as Marcus stands in front of you, admiring your new form as you step onto all four of your feet. You turn around to face Marcus.

"Are you still you?"
"Are you still in their?" He asks.
"I think so..." you say your tail flicking in annoyance. "That was not pleasant. "
"Well I think we can say this is sphinx lake" he says looking over it.
"You think they would have a sign or something" you say.
As the words leave your lips you see said sign forming with a riddle on it "What has four legs and the body of women. Answer correctly before drinking or suffer the curse."
The two of you stare at the sign. Marcus says "Did you just make that...?"
"I don't know, Can we have a map for a cure?"

"Nope..." and punishment
The sound of a buzzer fills the air.
"I guess that is a no" Marcus says before turning to look back at you.
Meanwhile a set of tack has appeared on you. You look into the lake to see how bad the result is.
Good news is your chest is now supported, bad news is they have pushed them up so they appear even bigger then before.
The saddle is situated right between your wings. While the reigns are attached to a bit tight into your mouth.
"Get this stuff off me" you try and yell out through said obstruction.
"I can't understand you" Marcus says "All I can hear is roaring. Hang on their is a paper stuck to the saddle."

Mount
Marcus reads it out aloud
"Congratulations on finding the sphinx mount. She will serve you well."
You scoff at this before he continues
"Unfortunately as part of the capture process we have had to temporarily remove her speech. To remove the harness and allow her to speak and hunt all you have to do is ride her for 8 hours. After this point she can remove the harness for up to 16 hours or until she voluntarily chooses."
