During the first meeting, Bailey messes around and gets Nibbled on the ankle. Jim freaks out and profusely apologizes and Bailey like- brushes it off. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong, I- WHAT THE FRICK??!!" He looks down and his ankle has split into two feet. Jim gets even more despaired and sputtery. "I'm so so sorry I tried to warn you and that's permanent and I'm sorry and oh no I'm sorry I-" Bailey interrupts him. "HEY! Hey, look, listen. I gotta idea, but ya have ta trust me, yeah? I'm fiiiiine." He gestures with his hand and his arm gets Bit. This makes Jim hysterical, crying and trying to pull the Beast away from him (it was just a Bite, so it was easy enough) and apologizing as everyone freaks out. Kylo's trying to help Jim, Zoey's frozen in place, and Sasha's also freaking out. Oakley's desperately asking what's happening over Zoey's dropped phone and aaaaaaaaugh yeah. Bailey's trying his hardest to hold it together and yelling at everyone to calm down while half of his body gets transformed. Yes, he is definitely panicking, but hiding it. He sorta ended up with all of this on one side of his body... - His leg splits in three, the previously split ankle growing one more foot and all cracking at odd angles. - An extra arm from his torso. - His main arm splits at the elbow and grows an extra arm too. - The one mentioned above also grows an extra hand. - His main arm grows extra fingers on the hand. - He gets an extra mouth on both his neck and cheek. - Eyes... Undetermined amount on his face, one on his shoulder, and one on the torso arm. - Two sets of small wing ears, taking over his human ear and making him deaf on that side.

He eventually finally gets someone to tell him where the roof is and rushes off alone. He very clumsily flies off. As he approaches the mountain, his wings on that side also split into four of varying sizes. He intended on crashing anyway, but DANG that wasn't fun. He texts everyone that he's okay about two hours later. He'll be powerless for another 12 hours, but just as he thought (and hoped), every single trace of the infection was gone. Aaaaaaaand now he's gotta walk back. /lh

Not right away, but later on, this opens up their ideas to uhhhhh experiment. Jim opposed it strongly, but Oakley was very excited, Zoey was- a little interested? Bailey was up for it, Kylo was okay only if Bailey agreed, and Sasha was- reluctant. So every once in a while, they tested out what would happen if Bailey got Nibbled or Bitten.
