"writing": "[i]This is the weekend. I'm finally going to do it.[/i]\n\n\nMelody is a miqo'te; a keeper of the moon. Particularly tall among the catfolk, but still only coming in at approximately 5'8\", she has long, wavy brown hair, a small scar across the right side of her face, large golden eyes, and when she smiles, her canines are revealed to be pointed. Her skin is very pale, which made the 'whiskers' that all miqo'te have appear white against her skin. Embarrassed by the unusual markings, she decided to go all in and get a green tribal tattoo across her cheeks and forehead. By choice, she usually likes to dress in forest greens or a pastel lilac, but on the battlefield, she prefers black and gold.\n\n-----\n\nEver since the Scions had 'officially' disbanded, I'd found myself with an excess of free time on my hands. Of course, there's plenty to do when you're a rogue adventurer whose only goals are making sure you know where your next meal is coming from and finding interesting things to do, but sometimes it gets a little boring being treated like a Hero of the Realm. Everyone knows your name and deeds, your pub meals are always free (even if you insist on paying, they'll find a way to sneak an extra drink your way)... I miss the days when I really was just a nameless adventurer taking levequests to hunt down some beast or help a poor qiqirn traverse a dangerous land.\n\nSo I'd come up with a plan. A little weekend escape...\n\n-----\n\nGetting some Fantasia potions wasn't too hard. I'd started my adventure in Ul'dah as your run-of-the-mill hobbyist thaumaturge, but Momodi had always lent a hand, either by giving me tips on where I could make some coin before anyone else or offering a room while I got back on my feet after getting thoroughly thrashed. (I may be able to summon fireballs directly from the void, but those spriggans have [i]really[/i] good aim.) As word of my deeds spread, people started coming by to see the Quicksand where I'd started my adventure, Momodi made money, everyone was happy. All I'd had to do was order a drink then wonder aloud where a poor adventurer might find the wonder transformative and perhaps remove some of these scars that make me [i]oh so[/i] self-conscious.\n\nI'd barely finished my second drink when a young lalafell came in through the eastern door, took a quick look around the bar, and made a beeline for me. \"Message for Miss Melody from Mistress Rarakiya!\" he announced, holding out a scrap of paper. I took it, fished a couple of gil out of my purse, and dropped them into his hand with a smile before turning to read it. I looked at Momodi disbelievingly, but she just gave a small smirk before turning back to serving her other customers.\n\nI pushed the rest of the purse to the far side of the bar as a finders fee for Momodi before getting up from the stool and stretching then headed out the same door to meet with the local apothecary. She ended up having a half-dozen brilliant blue bottles for me, nestled snugly in a small crate so they wouldn't jostle. Even to a realm-renowned adventurer, money talks in Ul'dah. This was why I didn't mind coming back here every once in a while. I loved the peace and being close to nature in my home state of Gridania, but back here in Ul'dah, it doesn't matter who you are, you pay like everyone else.\n\nI like to think I'm good at haggling, but those Ul'dahn merchants could wring blood from stone. I ended up getting the half-dozen at a decent price, but let's not mention the fact that I could easily have bought several cottages with that gil... whatever. It's a drop in the well; money is worthless if you don't spend it.\n\nI made my way back down the Sapphire Avenue exchange, ears flicking all around unbidden as the sounds of hawkers, barterers, and even some people offering trades echoed across the cobbled street. The noise died down as I made my way back to the Steps of Nald. Mimigun, the Chocobokeep, was watching the street for anyone showing any sign of wanting to rent a porter or store their personal chocobo for a visit to the city. I gave a small wave as I approached and he called back to his assistant to fetch my boy for me.\n\nPuffles gave an excited [i]Kweh![/i] as he saw me and pulled at the reins to make the chocobokeep move faster. I smiled at his boisterousness before placing the crate safely in his saddlebag then giving him a quick hug around the neck, which he nuzzled into. A few more loose gil for the chocobokeep then up I climbed and off we went. Lots to do by tomorrow night.\n\n-----\n\nAfter unloading anything particularly identifying back at home, I put my hair up, put on some sunglasses, and cast the teleport spell that would take me to Kugane. After arriving, I took Puffles down to the chocobokeep at the docks and asked for a retrieval scrip as someone else may be collecting him. I pocketed a bottle of Fantasia then headed up to the Bokairo Inn and asked for a room. My heartrate was slowly ticking up with every passing second. The innkeep stopped by the door to my room, gave a polite bow, and headed back to the front desk. I'd barely gotten in the door before letting my composure slip, my heart thumping in my ears. I forced myself to take a deep breath, hold it, and exhale before placing my pack down and taking out the bottle of Fantasia.

Huh, fruity.\n\nI sat completely still for what felt like an eternity before taking another deep breath, putting the stopper back in the bottle, and placing it back into my backpack. I removed each piece of clothing one by one, neatly folding them and placing them on the dresser, then quickly darted across the room to sneak under the covers of the bed to escape the slight chill pervading the room. I didn't know how I was ever supposed to get to sleep when I was so excited, but perhaps the potion maker thought of that and put a light sedative in the mix as less than a minute later I felt my eyes grow heavy and my thoughts start to slow as I drifted off.\n\n-----\n\nOver the course of the night, the transformation began. Melody's wavy brown hair slowly turned lighter, more auburn, eventually losing its brown colouration entirely and becoming a light pink. Her ears, usually pricked out to the sides, turned upwards and lengthened until they resembled that of a rabbit. Her nose turned slightly upwards, pointed teeth receded, and even her tattoo seemed to oh-so-slowly flow across her face and coalesce in the form of a small pink heart under her left eye, which, under closed lids, had also turned a shade of pink reminiscent of a quartz stone.\n\nBelow the covers, the rest of her body was undergoing much more drastic transformations. \n\nBones lengthened, skin stretched and filled, her lithe thighs filled with deliciously soft fat, her breasts, usually fitting nicely into a B cup bra, gradually filled until they'd struggle to fit a D, areolae growing slightly larger and then enveloping the nipples, turning them inverted. Her tail shortened, eventually slipping away completely between freshly-plumped cheeks. By the time the sun was beginning to rise, she must have grown a full foot taller, not including her long ears.\n\n-----\n\nI'd always been slow to wake. I was comfortable just dozing in the bed until I felt an itch on my ear and went to scratch it, only to find my ear wasn't where I expected it to be, which caused me to immediately forget the itch entirely and grab my ears with both hands. I sat up in the bed and threw my legs over the side only to find the ground a little closer than I expected. I smiled in disbelief that the potion had worked and felt all over my body, anywhere I could reach, spending a few minutes just playing with my new boobs, enjoying the squish and jiggle.\n\nI heard footsteps through the paper door as one of the other tenants of the inn began their day and came to my senses, getting up to put my clothes on. It was here that I realised an oversight in my plan: I didn't bring a change of clothing. My long skirt was fine, since I could just adjust it to fit around my hips, and my sandals can be adjusted to fit my new foot size, albeit slightly uncomfortably, but up above... my bra was definitely not going back on. No way. And my hempen camise, usually coming down just low enough so my belly button peeked out, now looked like a small crop top, barely tying up at the back and leaving very little to the imagination as it strained against my breasts. Although, it's not like anybody would recognise me right now... so I decided to own it. I tucked my shirt up under my breasts to make them even more pronounced then gathered my things and headed out for the day, leaving my room pass on the front desk as I left.\n\nI'd woken up much earlier than usual, having surprised myself awake, but that suited me just fine. There were very few denizens of Kugane up at this hour, most of them bleary-eyed and trudging along like zombies, too asleep to pay me any mind. I fished the chocobo scrip out of my backpack as I neared the docks and greeted the old man on duty, saying I was here to pick up my friend's chocobo. He made no effort to hide his gaze, starting directly at my breasts, before tearing his eyes away to take the scrip and mutter \"hmph, younglings these days...\"\n\nWhen the old man handed me Puffles' reins, the chocobo looked at me without recognition for a moment before leaning to sniff, then excitedly flapping his wings and letting out an adorable chirp and nuzzling against me. I gave him my customary big hug then led him over to a shipwright to find someone heading in the vague direction of Yanxia. Thankfully, a supply ship was headed for the Doman Enclave, and a couple of Allagan Silver pieces later, Puffles and I were on our way.\n\n-----\n\n\"Been a while since we were here, huh, boy?\"\n\nPuffles gave a light kweh as he trotted down the road at a leisurely pace. I waved to the farmers as we passed rice paddies on our way towards Namai. I left Puffles to his own devices (he's a good boy and doesn't wander too far) while I went into the town centre to do some trading. I needed a few pieces of sturdy wood, some comfortable hide (perhaps tigerskin), and soft stuffing. Apkallu down feathers would be nice, but out here, it was most likely that I'd only be able to get some dried grasses. Yol feathers were too large and pointy to make for good stuffing. Some oils to use as varnish, a couple of leather scraps and some metal rings…\n\nI was able to find all the things I needed in under an hour and made sure to pass on a little message to any cute wolfmen I saw around the village. Tasks done, I stashed everything in Puffles' saddlebags and we headed south, to the site of an old village razed by Garlemald during the occupation, and took Puffles' barding off to let him roam nearby. I pulled out my carpentry tools and got to work. This didn't have to be pretty, but I had my pride as a disciple of the hand, and I did want it to be as comfortable as possible, so I took my time. A few hours later, long after the sun had passed its apex and began its descent in the west, I was done.\n\nBefore me sat a most unusual device. In its most basic description, it looked like a table raised to about waist height, but with a soft hide stretched taut across the top and stuffed with hay for padding. On the sides draped a couple of belts chained in place, and on one side sat two poles to which a pair of stocks could be affixed, while the other side had more straps. I was getting giddy with excitement and couldn't wait to try it out…\n",

When the old man handed me Puffles' reins, the chocobo looked at me without recognition for a moment before leaning to sniff, then excitedly flapping his wings and letting out an adorable chirp and nuzzling against me. I gave him my customary big hug then led him over to a shipwright to find someone heading in the vague direction of Yanxia. Thankfully, a supply ship was headed for the Doman Enclave, and a couple of Allagan Silver pieces later, Puffles and I were on our way.

"Been a while since we were here, huh, boy?"
Puffles gave a light kweh as he trotted down the road at a leisurely pace. I waved to the farmers as we passed rice paddies on our way towards Namai. I left Puffles to his own devices (he's a good boy and doesn't wander too far) while I went into the town centre to do some trading. I needed a few pieces of sturdy wood, some comfortable hide (perhaps tigerskin), and soft stuffing. Apkallu down feathers would be nice, but out here, it was most likely that I'd only be able to get some dried grasses. Yol feathers were too large and pointy to make for good stuffing. Some oils to use as varnish, a couple of leather scraps and some metal rings…
I was able to find all the things I needed in under an hour and made sure to pass on a little message to any cute wolfmen I saw around the village. Tasks done, I stashed everything in Puffles' saddlebags and we headed south, to the site of an old village razed by Garlemald during the occupation, and took Puffles' barding off to let him roam nearby. I pulled out my carpentry tools and got to work. This didn't have to be pretty, but I had my pride as a disciple of the hand, and I did want it to be as comfortable as possible, so I took my time. A few hours later, long after the sun had passed its apex and began its descent in the west, I was done.
Before me sat a most unusual device. In its most basic description, it looked like a table raised to about waist height, but with a soft hide stretched taut across the top and stuffed with hay for padding. On the sides draped a couple of belts chained in place, and on one side sat two poles to which a pair of stocks could be affixed, while the other side had more straps. I was getting giddy with excitement and couldn't wait to try it out…
