Perfect Plan! Oh God, No!
That's when the snake completely transforms under my very eyes!...
A flash of bright light later, I find myself holding a small goldfish in my hands. It looks at me with its big eyes happily.
[So, you were forced to transform to appear more menacing?]
It shyly nods apparently saddened about it. Well, this is understandable. It doesn't matter what one looks like one's original appearance always has a special meaning in one's heart.
Of course, there are many people that are disappointed and hate themselves for their appearance. One should definitely take the measures necessary to remain fit, healthy, and even decently clean. Anything more than that is pointless. This goldfish seems to clear all of the above.
[Don't worry. Feel free to be yourself with me. The Unnamed God Sect accepts all for who they are. As long as you are friendly and aren't a dick we'll get along just fine.]
