You'd think living with a shapeshifter would be fun.


It is, occasionally. But it's hard to get used to it when the shapeshifter is a fun-loving trickster who likes to randomly stand in hallways and wait. It's hard to get used to a bear in your hallway.

When you think you got used to a bear, there's a wolf in the kitchen, baring its teeth at you. When you as much as flinch, the scariest wolf in your life dissolves into garbling coughing giggle sounds as the shapeshifter goes back to their human form. You just wanted a sandwich, for god's sake.

And they keep doing this for their own amusement - waiting for their roommates to turn on the lights and see a giant bat on the sofa.

At least there's an unanimous ban on using spider forms.


Living with a shapeshifter is fun when you do get used to it. You get to drink tea with a bear, a python and a water elemental (looks hilarious). You just need to survive long enough to get there.
