you’re fearing me ‘cause you know I’m a beast

Something's gone wrong. Maybe it was a little parasite, wiggling under your skin. Maybe something bit you that one night in the woods. Maybe someone decided they didn't like you and placed a curse on you, or maybe the local psychotic AI decided she liked you and filled you full of nanites. In any case, you're changing, body and soul. There's no way to stop it. No way to reverse it. And above all, it's the most painful thing you've ever experienced...

HOW IT WORKS:
- Tag the meme, leaving your character name, fandom, and any preferences in the subject line
- Other character tags you
- You tag back, and use the random number generator to select from the following options. Or don't, and do whatever strikes your fancy. If you roll something your character already is, either roll again, go for human, or pick something that otherwise suits your fancy.
- Other character reacts, or is free to also roll on the table
- Play out the results.
- Have fun, but respect the preferences of others.

1. Water-dwelling. You're growing gills, or your skin is turning translucent, or you're sprouting fins, or maybe you're outright turning into some form of sea life. It doesn't matter what you're turning into – what does matter is that you're slowly losing the ability to breathe air, and there's no water in sight...

2. Animal. Something bit you, and you're turning into an animal. Your bones lengthen or perhaps shrink, break, twist, and reform, your teeth lengthen or shorten, and above all, you feel your instincts being overridden. Your senses sharpen; you notice smells you never did before, your vision becomes more sensitive to movement. If you're a predator? Man, these people look mighty tasty. Prey? OHGOD, EVERYTHING IS TERRIFYING. Lizard? Enjoy your new inability to regulate body temperature. Bird? Have fun with the whole beak and hollowing bones. And don't even get us started on insects and arachnids...

3. Parasitic Something's inside you, and it's changing you from within, chewing up your insides and altering your thoughts. You're not sure how much longer you're going to be you, and when the parasite's going to take over completely...

4. Demonic. You've been meddling with dark powers beyond the ken of mortal man, and it seems you've accidentally sold your soul. Will you be the traditional kind of demon, horns and hooves, or something far more terrifying and ineffable?

5. Undead. No doubt about it, you're dying, but as you are, something's been altered in you. Maybe you're becoming a vampire – and not the fun kind, either, we're talking ugly, ravenous, and mad. Maybe you're a zombie, or a ghoul, and human flesh looks mighty tasty. Or maybe you're just turning into a ghost bent on vengeance. In any case, death is never fun.

6. Cybernetic. Get captured by the Borg? Strapped to an operating table? Injected with nanites? Whatever happened to you, you're slowly turning into something half man, half machine, your squishy bits being replaced by mechanical components.

7. Lovecraftian. You've heard their song, the terrors from beyond the stars, and even now they sing in your blood as your flesh transmutes into something ineffable and unknowable. You revel in the pain you feel even as you seek to spread it, to herald the end of all things... or maybe worse, you're aware of the transition as your mind becomes not your own.

8. Fusion/Hivemind. You begin to fuse with the first person who tagged you – physically, mentally, or both. Soon, you can't tell who is who, which one of you is the real you, as your thoughts become one. Join in the fleshsong, mortal...

9. Inanimate. Your body slowly petrifies and hardens, turning to stone, wood, glass, or something stranger still; or perhaps you liquefy, turning to some kind of liquid, or maybe you dissolve into the air itself.

10. Wildcard / pick your own. Pick whatever you like, combine a few options, or make up your own.

[Welp, this is going to be a bad thing, hmm.]

[aintno_grave]

[He thinks you mean a very awesome thing. No wait, it's bad now, very, very not good. Houston, we have a problem.]

[soldierofspacetime]

[Well, your current companion who is not Amy or River or Rory is now worried.]

Doctor. You look rather pale.

Yeah, I do. We should go to Space Florida sometime. Soak up some sun, get some killer tans.

[Considering what's going on with his body, he's taking it with stride, acting as if it's not affecting him or even happening at all. No need to cause a panic, y'dig.]

Hi so I got a 4

You might want to invest in some sunscreen then.

[She has no idea what is happening to his body, but she knows something is. She can sense there is a change - just not the manner of the change.]

I did warn you not to walk into that mist.

[aintno_grave]

Ah, but where would we be if we never threw caution to the wind? Nowhere, that's where. [Now he's trying to talk his way out of his change, whatever that means.]

[soldierofspacetime]

[Oh, Doctor, you can't talk yourself out of this one. Not that Pluto thinks you're not adorable for trying.]

Now, Doctor, you and I both know there's a difference between throwing caution to the wind and blatantly walking into obvious danger without any safeguards or protection.

Do you feel anything?

I... don't see your point. [He's serious about that one.]

And, no, no. I feel fine. Super-duper, positively fine.

[soldierofspacetime]

[Well then. She should not be surprised. This is the current Doctor, after all. In a matter of speaking.]

You're not just pulling my leg on your condition, are you?

[ He's going to be screaming for days after this... ]

Haha, should be fun. Not sure who it should be effecting, though?

[And John had thought his life with Sherlock was strange. But chasing criminals through London and finding severed heads in his fridge was downright everyday compared to some of things he'd seen since getting mixed up with SHIELD and their Avengers. Even so, on the better days he wants to thank Mycroft for orchestrating this, giving him this new source of danger and excitement. His new job, even just as a medic(alright, a medic who also has to occasionally make use of his skill as a marksman), was not lacking in either.

He's been there long enough now that in his current situation -- standing around with a Norse God (!!!) -- what's occupying his thoughts is not... whatever one would normally be thinking, but instead that this headache is making it very difficult to focus, and wondering how long this business with Thor is going to take so he can get himself a coffee.]

Alright, can you run that by me again?
