Zone C -- Megacity One

[Karl Jak]

The necklace settled onto Harlan.

For a moment, he felt nothing.

Then—searing agony that burned across his whole body.

‘Vic Hendy’ let out a guttural scream as he dropped to his knees and grabbed the sides of his head.  His whole body quivered as his muscles surged outward, threatening to tear open his flesh.  His clothes stressed and tore a little at the edges as red fur spread across the man’s arms, legs, and chest.  Fingernails fell off as bloody little chips as feral claws ruptured from his former fingertips.  Harlan threw his mouth open in another scream as all his teeth transformed into jagged, serrated fangs.  A brown mane of hair grew on his head the sides of his face as his facial bones broke apart and shifted forward to accommodate a small snout and a larger jaw muscles.  A tail unfurled from behind the man and twitched gently on the ground as fresh nerves shot their first sparks through an augmented nervous system.

The man’s eyes turned a dull shade of yellow as he rose from the ground and flexed the new muscles and joints.

Vic Hendy has used 'Red's Memento' and is now a were-Red for the remainder of Dante's Abyss.
