Call Emilia

I think I'm gonna call Emilia, maybe it will interest her. I dialed her number and waited until she responded: "Hi Andrew ! What's up ?"

"Hello Emilia. I thought about our discussion yesterday, I might have something interesting."

"Really ? What do you mean ?"

"It's hard to explain, it's easier to just show you in private."

"You're not in a sect, right ?"

"What ? No, of course no !"

She giggled: "I'm just messing with you. Why not, I'm a little bit curious. Meet me at your shop."

"Sure, no problemo."

I put on my shoes and left for my shop. Emilia arrived 10 minutes after me. "Yo Drew. So, where do we go so you can show me your mystery ?"

"Want to go to my place ? It's very close."

"Sure, why not ?"

Once at home, she asked me: "So, now that we are alone at your place, what is it that the world cannot know ?"

I took out my phone and showed her the frog Jade photo I took yesterday. "Can I have your opinion on this photo ?"

"Wow, is this cosplay ? It's so good, it looks real."

"Not really" I responded, displaying the stone, "it is real. This stone has magical powers, it can transform people. I know it sounds crazy, but I can show you."

"By making me a frog ?"

"Not necessarily, you can choose the animal or the plant."

"But I become a monster."

"No, I can switch you between your monster form and human form at will."

"And I stay the same ?"

"Almost, apparently you have some kind of animal instinct, but it's nothing too drastic."

"Okay. I'm in."

"Really ? It's irreversible, you'll never be human again. And aren't you trusting me too quickly ? You don't know me, it could be shady."

"Shady people don't warn their victims that much, especially not with a story this crazy. And it could be cool. So I want to be. But I have one condition: pick something that peoples don't like."

"I can come up with something..."
