Smack! Smack! Smack!

With one final Smack, the last metal peg to keep the tent held down was slammed into the ground. "Alright! Tent sectured." Justin wiped the sweat off his face and looked to his new bird companion that seemed perfectly content with just sitting on a flat rock and sunning itself. The sight was so peculiar that Justin couldn't help but chuckle. "A bird that acts like a cat, what's next; a flaming porcupine?"

Chirr.

"Oh what do you know. You probably don't even know where we are. I mean if you did, that would be great but you can't exactly speak my language." Justin paused at that spoken thought. "...right?" The bird didn't reply and simply stared at him with one eye open. The darn thing was on the verge of falling asleep! Justin wished he could sleep, but he doubted that would happen for quite some time. Well, whatever. "Guess I'll get everything else set up and then i'll uh, think of what to do next I guess." Planning never was his strong suit.

First was figuring out where he was, and getting a supply of food and water. Justin didn't plan on staying here long, especially with the amount of food and water he had. It wouldnt last him more than a week at most even if he rationed it so finding those two things were at the top of the "Importance list" that Justin had going on in his head. "All that crap I brought might come in useful though, so I will probably need to find some way to transport it." He had shelter covered, so that was nice. Speaking of which, Justin layed out the bedroll and fluffy pillow inside the tent while he continued to think. Multitasking! What a useful skill. Once that was done, he pulled out one of his notebooks and started to take inventory.

Not that Justins stomach cared about that, because it made a noise so loud that would have caused a small avalanche if he was at a snow covered mountain. Yeah, that would probably never happen. "Holy-! Okay. That's apparently my stomach and not a wild animal. Guess in all the insanity I forgot to have breakfast."

Chirp.

"Shh. Food time." Food. Yeah, that was going to be an issue. Luckily he had a protein bar in his... now much, much looser clothing. Another mystery. It honestly made Justin feel that there was going to end up being so many mysteries, that he would need more than just a notebook to write them all down. Luckily the mystery of what he would eat this morning was solved before he knew it! Justin pulled the protein bar from his pocket and held it high in the air like it was a really cool sword that he just found. "Tada! See bird? Gaze upon the power of man and his enginuity with-wait where did it go?"

Right out of the corner of Justins vision, he saw the silver bird shift like a stuttering video and then his protein bar was gone. Right out of his hands. It took a bit longer than he would have liked to admit to figure out what had happened. "Did, did that bird just shift reality or something just to steal my food? That is... the rudest thing ever. Wow. Fine. Okay. See if I treat you to a meal next time you silver fuzzbal!"

Justin sighed at the loss of his food, bland as it had been. He pushed thoughts about possible reality bending fowl aside, and pulled out a tiny camping stove from his backpack. Then got out a small pot. "Let's try this again. Food time. Again." This was really turning out to be a weird and annoying day. Frankly, it was a really good thing that he liked animals so much, or that damn creature might become his next meal if it shows up again to take away his food, again. Speaking of food. "Frozen tv dinner. Yum." Salty, cheap, full of carbs, and somehow delicious if you cooked the mess of food together into a slurry. Into the pot it went.

Meanwhile back in it's nest, the silver bird pecked at the offering that had been so graciously raised for it's benefit back in the clearing by the twolegs. Seemed that through it's ramblings, the twolegs still understood respect for beings far above it in superiority. Yes. This was good. Offerings were good. The bird would allow this twolegs to stay in it's territory as long as it wished if offerings were involved. One could call this bribery, but it was a bird monster so it had no idea what that was.

Time passed and Justin wiped down the inside of the pot with a rag. He couldn't rinse it out because water was precious right now, so a rag would have to do. "I really got to find a water source. Also figure out why my voice is like this. Also find food. Also uhhh, um. Think about more also's to add. Yeah." So much to do, so little time. Although, actually he had all the time in the new world now, didn't he? That brought a smile to Justins face. "That means I can sleep in! Yes!"

He quickly stripped off his clothes at the thought of his fluffy pillow and sleeping bag inviting him to the sweet land of dreams. He could do it in the nude too! Why not? He was in the middle of nowhere so he could sleep nude if he wanted! Plus he didn't like the thought of some kind of alien bug crawling into his clothes as he slept. So Justin took off his underwear too. Now fully nude, this was when Justin realized he had gained something, and lost something.

"I have boobs? Why do I have boobs? Not like pecs, like actual boobs." Hm. They weren't very big, that was a bit dissapoin-"THATS NOT THE PROBLEM HERE, BRAIN!" Justin cursed whatever horny monkey instincts that evolution had tossed his way and checked his lower body. To his surprise there was something else there than what there used to be.

It seemed that taking a chance to change his life by going through that door had changed something about Justin as payment. Or maybe it was just another sick joke thrown his way from god or whatever higher power lorded over this reality. A different body. A clearly female body.

"You have got to be kidding me!!!"
