A few hours later, back in the District Courts precinct...
Strip clapped her hands together. "Alright girls, gather round."
Strip glanced to the side. "You too, Cen."
Cenere shuffled closer, deliberately keeping his eyes averted. "Oh come on, what's your problem. You know it's just us, right?"
"Mmmbl," mumbled Cen.
"Anyway," Strip said. "Zophia doesn't know how to reverse the effect, so I guess we're stuck like this for the time being."
Strangely enough, nobody seemed all that cut up about that revelation. They seemed actually to the contrary, with the exception of Cowwoman, who had lost her nose-ring and horns, and was somehow white and chocolate instead of the usual ruddy red. And Gail was far too young to be legal under any jurisdiction except maybe some African nations and certain states in the Middle-East. Oh, and Thoad, who had acne.
"Anyway, I guess we ought to try finding a way to reverse the curse. Does anybody have any ideas?" Strip looked around, and saw only rather suspect fidgeting.
"Fine, I guess not. In that case, who wants to go shoe shopping?"
The 5th Round is now open!
ROUND RULES:
You have been turned female! You are pretty much yourself... in a female body. Though parts of your behaviour may have become female e.g. getting cramps, feeling bloated, suddenly becoming very irrational and emotionally driven, changing the way you dress, look, becoming very vain, obsessing about your weight, suddenly feeling a little more bisexual than previously... or being more understanding, more eloquent, more attractive, having less problems with body-odour... it's up to you.
This is possibly one of the most sexist bits of literature on AG ever. I need to emphasise that it is done in the spirit of humour, and that this does not reflect the views of any person involved in this project, or of AG. Gosh I'm doing that a lot lately.
With that said.
a) Your task is to write about the events following the F-bomb explosion. This is going to be a relatively long round (2 weeks or so, because I'm doing NaNoWriMo, after which I have exams), so please, I expect the entries to be relatively long too.
b) Your first priority should be to consider whether or not you will pursue a cure. Or when. Alternatively you could do other things... but I'm not going to talk about those.
c) At least one of the following is mandatory: changing your shoes with every new scene, doing at least one "manly-man" task (e.g. repairing your car/bike) as a female, changing your hairstyle (obsessively), and going shopping only to discover you have magical new powers of bargain-hunting and haggling.
d) Hectichermit is going to be joining this round as soon as we get it organised. He's a herbalist and potions-master and promises to be able to get you cured... or even whatever else you want. More details to come, but if you're interested in talking to him, register that interest via email! P.S. I do not endorse the hermit; consult him at your own risk.
e) Oh, and there is one thing for certain. Try as you might, you will not be able to cure this condition within the scope of this round. Still worth a shot, though.
Alright.
I think that's all.
PRIZES: You Did WHAT!?- to the victestant who comes up with the most creative "cure" (trust me, it won't work).
DEADLINE: 14th November
HAVE AT IT! [/b]
