Hare today, gone to Morrow

Only when you both twitch at the same time do you realize that you are looking into a mirror. That's you. You try to figure out how you feel about being part bunny, but come up blank. You don't remember anything at all from before you opened your eyes, so you have no idea if you are normal or a freak.

"Hi Brin," you say and wave at yourself. So you can talk. But why did you say that? It just popped out. Could Brin be your name? You might as well use it until somene else claims it.
[Yes, this is kind of a new look - from a different angle - at the life of bunny morph Brin, who first appeared in 39119 and got named a couple of chapters later. It may turn out just the same only in second person,or quit different. I'm going to leave some connections and see what happens. -- WT]

As you finish focusing you realize you're not all white. In addition to your pink snout and blue eyes, there's a string of black characters that appears to be tattooed across the top of your chest. [70375] That might make sense if you could read it, but you can't.

Finally turning away from the mirror, you notice a coat rack with some clothes hanging on it to your left. To your right lie the tattered remains of what used to be a big cardboard box before it got ripped open by someone who was obviously very eager to get at the contents. Taking a closer look you realize that you can read after all. The tattoo must be in an unfamiliar script or language.

Behind you there is a door and a file cabinet. More to read, but right now you are more curious about the door. Opening it just enough to peek through you spy a big room with about a dozen tables, most of them occupied by different... creatures. [192] At least you do not seem to be the only nonhuman here.

Better finish exploring the room first, and getting dressed may be a good idea. As far as you could tell from your brief look, all the people in the tavern were wearing clothes.

Oh yes, reading. You look at the torn box first. What used to be the lid has a fancy logo that says "Spells R Us, Costume Department". On the front is a more utilitarian label that reads "Bunny Morph, Female White".

Hmm. That could mean you used to be human or something else, and then you came here (wherever here is) to put on a magic costume that not only transformed you but wiped your memory. Or it could just be a red herring.
You spend some time examining yourself in the mirror and with your paws, but can't find anything resembling a zipper or buttons. If you are wearing a magic costume, it is a wellmade one that has transformed you completely. You are also pretty well built albeit slghtly plump. Whatever you were before, you appear to have traded up.

That leaves the file cabinet. It has one drawer labeled "Background stories", and when you open it you find a handful (or pawful?) of folders of varying thickness. You are about to open one when you notice a PostIt note stuck on top of the cabinet. It says "The first folder you open will be true".
Great, this must be one of those reality altering places. Not that you have any clear memories of hearing about them before, but you can guess.

Now.... What's up, Doc?

1. Get dressed and enter the tavern.
2. Run through the tavern in your birthday suit, or whatever it is.
3. Open the file cabinet and read one of the folders.
4. Wait and see if something happens.
5. Get dressed and keep waiting.
6. Examine the remains of the box again.
7. Look behind the mirror.
8. Say what seems to be your name three times. "Brin, Brin, Brin."
9. Call a friend.
10. Poll the audience.
