Time Mine Option Aa1: Tell Him About the Taste
Welcome back for the conclusion of our adventure.
Up to this point, you’ve ended up in a some Victorian court wearing clothes for hiking, been invited to a formal dinner and then been mistaken as the King’s new taste tester. You tried the shrimp for him and have decided to tell him it tastes horrible.
Now let’s see what happens!
Time Mine Option Aa1: Tell Him about the Taste
“Well?” the King prompts.
“Well, I don’t feel any effects but honestly, the taste leaves a lot to be desired.” You make a face to emphasize your point.
“It’s bad.” The King hands the plate to the serving woman behind him and demands to have something else.
After another half hour or so, the serving woman returns with what might actually be roasted duck. She sets the plate before you.
“Ewww! Shrimp. How disgusting!” the man beside you exclaims.
After talking with him for the last half hour though, you’re pretty sure he’s just acting crazy, so you send him a half smile as you cut off a small chunk of duck.
Before you can get the bite to your mouth, your hands turn weak and the fork clatters to the floor.
You stare at your fingers as they lengthen and turn skinny, then take on a greenish hue.
The woman to your right screams. It’s an ear splitting sound. You try to cover your ears but it doesn’t work as other strange changes take over your body. Your vision goes topsy turvy and the table whooshes past your line of sight.
Suddenly, everything settles. You’re still on your chair but the table’s above your head. When you open your mouth to ask what’s happened, a large croak comes out.
“A frog!” shouts the lady to your right. She pulls her shoe off and you’re bunching your muscles to jump away when another set of hands picks you up.
“Now, now Lady Catrina. No need to go killing the poor thing. Give me some time and I might be able to turn the dear back.”
His face is much larger now but you’re sure it’s the man who sat to your left. He hands you off to a dainty pair of hands. After blinking several times to clear your sight, you realize the woman now holding you is the original lady who invited you to dinner.
“Glad I didn’t try the shrimp,” says the king as you’re carried from the hall.
There’s general laughter all around.
***
Over the next several weeks, you come to learn that the man you sat next to at dinner and the woman who invited you work together at an apothecary. They continue to feed you odd potions in hopes of returning you to human form.
One time, they succeed in changing you into a bird but the change doesn’t last and you become froggy again.
Although you can’t really communicate with them, they still tell you what they’re doing and you’ve high hopes that they won’t give up.
The End
Blessings and hope you have a wonderful weekend=)
