Use Fledermaus' FAVOR to try TRANSFORM again.

The two of you flutter about in bat form, distraught at your mishap, until finally you settle down, perching from the little-used iron chandelier on the ceiling.

You remember the moment when you asked where your name had come from -- you knew no one named Pipistrelle -- and found out that one of your great-great-aunts was a powerful witch who had taken on herself the name of a bat, the same name you bear. You hope it wasn't bad luck for you today.

You awkwardly chirp at Fledermaus until you make yourself understood -- you need his help, indeed, his full co-operation to try your spell again. He nestles close to you, his fuzzy chest against yours, his wings wrapped about yours as you summon the magic of the forbidden transformation spell.

Without your wand, you rely on Fledermaus to help gather and focus your energy.

But he's really your lover Augustus, he'd do anything for you, for you both to be together.

You have 0 XP, a CONSEQUENCE, and you're a bat.
