#PennedPossibilities 916.1 — Your MC wakes up as a wolf (or if a wolf/werewolf, a rabbit/wererabbit), what do they do, how do they react?
As I've never written a shapeshifter-compatible fic, that'd be problematic!
(Current WIP: "Werewolves don't exist," Tabitha said evenly, aiming her pistol at Jum's head. "And we're inside a techné eruv so you're not a robot. What are you *really*?" Seeing her finger inside the trigger guard, Jum whined then flopped over on his back and played dead.)
Gregor Samsa awoke covered in fur, trying to understand the sensations from his whiskers.
'Oh no, not again! Awooooe is me!'
@cstross a human would presumably try to walk on two legs and collapse on the floor?
@Pionir I assume any plausible werewolf will have a full vulpine autonomic nervous system to handle stuff like balance and proprioception, so they're going to know they're not in human form right from the start. How bad the body dysmorphia/dysphoria will be is an open question …
@cstross also do shortsighted humans turn into shortsighted wolves?
