The bells on the top of the manor rung, signaling it was noon and the games were ready to begin. The two teams soon piled into the room, Nafster leaning against a desk with a smile on his face waving to them as they walked in and took their seats. "Ah, slept well I hope!" Nafster said with a laugh. "Everyone getting nice and used to the new living arrangements?"

"Better than home, that's for sure," Charlie replied.

"It's great!" Thorn cheered excitedly, wagging their fake tail. "I'm so freaking excited for this!!!!" They exclaim.

Darwin shrugs. "Not enough skyscrapers. I'm used to Manhattan."

"Perfect. Couldn't ask for more." John answered.

"New experiences, can't complain." said Lance.

"I didn't look around as much as I probably should have but it all seems rather nice." Brynn admits.

"The place is pretty good!" Miko said with a smile. "But I can't wait to see what awaits us now~!"

Thorn sits down, crossing their legs on the floor.

"Seems like you're all enjoying it then!" Nafster chuckled a bit. "Glad your enjoying it so far. Enjoy it while you can still walk on two legs, cause that may be changing today! Now that you're all settled in we are going to be getting into the real meat of Trans Isle, the games!"

"Are we ready Paradeisos?" she asked to her team.

"I'm ready to go!" Miko nodded to her team leader.

"We're ready then." Charlie nodded to the snow leopard.

Darwin nods,"I'm ready as I'll get."

"Alright, well then I will tell you now that today is going to be a game of wits! I will give you a bit of time to dictate the order you want to go in." Nafster explained. "Everyone on your team will be participating, the smarter you are the easier it will be!"

After the alloted time had passed, Evolution and Paradeisos both returned into the room, to the Nafster being dressed in the usual suit though holding a microphone this time. "Hello two teams! I see that we've all decided on your team order then?"

Darwin nods. "Yeah, we've got it decided."

"We have," Charlie answers.

"Well let me and the cameras hear 'em!"

"For our team, I'll be first, followed by Brynn, then John, then Lance." Darwin informed the cameras and Nafster himself.

"Xiu did have a flight delay yet again, he should be in for the next show when eliminations begin." Nafster commented. "You'll be properly accommodated for the lack of a team member."

"Our order is Feilex, Miko, myself, Thorn, Alfred." Charlie spoke up.

"Sounds like a good ol' pair of teams!" Nafster chuckled. "Please follow me outside to where the game will be played."

As the two teams are lead outside by Nafster, there are two pedestals with a screen on them along with a big screen behind it. Along with that there are two benches on each side of them. "Alright, here at Trans Isle you will be put to the test in what you can do outside of your normal bodies, and as a preliminary event as it were, you two will be competing in animal trivia!"

"I see now how transformations are incorporated into this..."

"They went all out here." "I.. I can live with this." "Sounds interesting." "Oooooh, sounds simple enough!" were all comments f the various contestants.

"Now then, you will of course be competing for points, and those who are correct will be put back onto the bench and replaced with the next one in your order. However, if you get a question wrong, you'll be turning into the animal in question!" Nafster chuckled softly.

"Completely..? Or just partially?" Brynn asks, somewhat concerned.

It will be completely! But not to worry, it will only be for the duration of this game." Nafster explained. "Once transformed you will be out of rotation and once a team has no one left the answer, the other team wins! Of course, your teammates may be able to help! If one is transformed and you think they would do better you can trade spots and turn into their animal and they can answer! You may only do this once per contestant however!"

"Well, its not like we really got a choice. Bring on the onslaught." Lance says with a devil may care attitude.

"Alright! So if the two teams could get on their benches and if Darwin and Feilex could get on the pedestal." Nafster instructed.

Darwin walks up to his team's pedestal and Feilex does the same, albeit more nervously.

"Now then, Trans Isle is kicking off it's first event! Simply titled "Trivia!" Great name I know, blame production, not me!" Nafster chuckled. "Now then, since Paradeisos chose first for team selection, let's have Evolution start off!"

Nafster walked over to Darwin.

"Looks like you get to start off with an easy one." He laughed a but.
What is a vixen?

A) Female Dog
B) Female Fox
C) Female Wolf
D) Female Cat

"Female Fox." Darwin answered. "Please guys, I'm a fox too."

"Correct! The fox knows his foxes!" Nafster said happily. "Take a seat and have Brynn come up while I go to Feilex.

"Alright Feilex, time for you to answer question! What are the only mammals that can fly?
A) Owl
B) Parrot
C) Bat
D) None of the Above

"Bat?" Feilex answered.

"Bat it is!" Nafster said excitedly. "Miko please swap with him on stage."

Brynn takes a breath in before slowly exhaling, getting a little nervious as she does so.

"Now then Brynn, you're a smarter lass from what production has told me." Nafster commented leaning on the pedastool. And your question is:

Which of the following dogs is the smallest?

A) Dachshund
B) Poodle
C) Pomeranian
D) Chihuahua

"D - Chihuahua"Brynn says with some certainty.

"Chihuahua it is! Good job miss!" Nafster said happily. "Time to swap out with John."

"Yes!" She exclaims as she goes and takes her seat back on the bench.

"Now then Miko, mixed species, that must be pretty cool hm?" Nafster made a small chit chat with her.

"I-I guess!" Miko replied hesitantly, surprised by such remark.

"It suits you well, I like the ears you got going on." Nafster said with a smile. "Let's hope it stays that way and you get the question right!" And with that the leopard read the question. What is a sow?

A) Baby Cow
B) Sheep
C) Pig
D) Bull

Miko's ears perked up at the compliment, but quickly focused again on the show. "Hm... It's a pig!" She replied without hesitating.

"That is correct lovely lynx mix!" Nafter clapped his hands softly. If you can swap out with Charlie next. while I get John's question rolling!"

"Alright John, Depend on water temperature, what can oysters do?

A) Change Color
B) Change Sex
C) Float
D) None of the Above"

"C, float." John responded.

"That is...incorrect!" Nafster responded. And with a deep breath said "It is actually B, change sex!"

The first wrong answer of the day going to the disadvantageous team and having one eliminated already.

"Well, rules are rules John! Someone might swap out with you, who knows!" And with that, John's body rapidly shrunk down into his clothes and the inside of it seemed to be hollowing out vastly, leaving not much more than a tongue inside. His limps all retreated into his torso as his skin hardened and grayed to become a shell covering the new oyster. Nafster reached down into John's former clothing to pick up the oyster and setting it with the sign that read "out."

Darwin gulps a little, now nervous.

Lance's eyes bug out. "Ohhh hell no..."

"First wrong answer of the day!" Nafster said. "Pity it had to be an animal like that. Good thing he isn't staying like that, otherwise that'd be quite unfortunate! Lance if you can you to the podium."

The first transformation didn't do anyone favors for staying calm, considering the magnitude of it.

Lance gulps heavily and stands walking slowly over, it seeming to take all his strength to make it there.

"Now then Charlie, you got an otter on your team so this might be an advantage for you." Nafster leaned on the podium. A Sea Otter is nicknamed what due to its white whiskers?

A) Old Man of the Sea
B) Rudderbutt
C) Wise Man of the Ocean
D) None of the above

Brynn scoots closer to Darwin as we're the only two on our bench and hug him, nervousness getting the better of her as Darwin returned it.

"I'm a river otter I'll have you know" Alfred frowned.

"Oh dear... Is it C? Wise Man of the Ocean?" she asks, completely out of her league.

"Let's put it this way, you'll be having two otters on your team for a bit!" Nafster responded. "The correct answer was actually A."

"At least I'm not an oyster," Charlie sighed.

Charlie's fur would soon turn from yellow and black to mostly brown with a beige going down her front. Her body shrunk down as her tail became flatter yet longer. She fell onto all fours as her face rounded out. Her triangular ears became circular while Charlie's hair retreated back into her fur, leaving her as a feral otter.

"Alright Thorn seems like it's your turn again!" Nafster instructed him to get up.

"Alright Lance, your questions looks to be a tricky one!" Nafster turned to the other team. "What color are zebras?"

A) White with black stripes.
B) Black with white stripes.
C) Both of the above.
D) None of the above.

"Hh boy... umm, well at least this hopefully won't be that bad..." he says tugging at his tank top "I would like to say C. Both?"

"It is...NOT C! By looking at embryological evidence, we as a people were able to determine their main color is black, and the white are simply additions to their base color."

"Well, that's a shame." Lance sighed.

Brynn hugs Darwin tighter, fearing for their team.

"Seems like we have another eliminations, it's a train going on!" And with that, Lance's silver scales soon transform into a black base and white stripes of fur begins to coat him. His wings vanish completely and his nose becomes larger and his ears became longer. Lance's tail became much smaller as a black tuft of fur adorned the back of it. Lance's feet and hands soon became black hooves as he falls onto all fours, leaving him a zebra.

Miko looked at Lance. "Not so bad, I like horseys~"

"Darwin you're coming back up here!" Nafster said. "Now then Thorn, we have your question:" What is the fastest animal on Earth?

A) cheetah
B) peregrine falcon
C) leopard
D) hyena

B, Falcon. Technically the cheetah is the fastest land animal with a top speed of 60 mph, BUT the peregrine falcon, when in a nose dive, can actually fly MUCH faster due to the beak structure and wing orientation." Thorn explains.

"That is correct! The falcon is the fastest!" Nafster nodded. "Let's swap you out with Alfred now."

"Alright, now that we're closer to even playing field, Paradeisos will go twice before Evolution has to answer!

"Now then Alfred, we have a question for you, hope you like computers." Which actual bug was responsible for short circuiting one of the first supercomputers, inspiring the phase “a bug in the code?"t

A) Moth
B) Fly
C) Centipede
D) Ladybug

The otter winced. "Computers...... not my strong suit....."

"Gonna need an answer Alfred."

"I'll have to go with moths, they get into everything and tend to be sucked around by fans"

"C. A foal."

"That is correct!" Brynn will be on deck next.

"Now then Feilex your question is: What does "piebald fur" mean?

A) All White
B) Tabby
C) Spotted
D) Solid Color

"D I think" Feilex answered unsure.

"It is...NOT D, it is actually C!"

It wouldn't be long as his fur turned borwn with white spots. His nose became small and pink as his muzzle became less pronounced. His ears became circular while his body fell onto all fours. His tail became thin and longer compared to his now much smaller body. The former wolf now a Spotted Quoll.

"Alright then, Miko it's your turn. See if you can stop the transformation streak for you team. Which of the statements is false?

Koalas have unique fingerprints, like humans.
Koalas are members of the bear family.
Koalas have two thumbs on each front paw.

Miko walked up to the pedestal again, feeling nervous. She blinked at the question. "Huh... Being in the bear family is false I think..." She wasn't completely sure.

"That is...correct! You get to keep those neat lil' ears for another cycle!" Nafster chuckled a bit. Miko held her forehead in relief and sighed, she again dodged the bullet.

"Alright then Brynn, your question is Which of these popular pet birds is a type of parrot?

A) Canary
B) Finch
C) Parakeet
D) All of the above

Brynn bites her lip as she's unsure what the answer mint be, "D?" She asks with much uncertainty.

"It is not D sadly Brynn. The answer is actually Parakeet."

"Sorry Darwin.. good luck!" She says, sad that she wasn't able to help her team more.

Soon, Brynn's body became coated in green feathers with spotted black ones on her back. Brynn's hair retracted into her scalp as her nose and mouth fused and became harder forming into a curved beak. Her eyes formed on either side of their face. Her feet became three digits and their toes turned to talons and the legs themselves bececame grey. Tail feathers formed behind Brynn as her arms and hands became mere wings, leaving her a parakeet.

Darwin nervously approaches the pedestal, heart racing, obviously nervous.

"Alright Thorn, this is your question." The word Coyote comes from which language?

A) Greek
B) Aztec
C) Mayan
D) None of the Above

"Wait a freaking second....." Thorn says who was unsure of the answer, looking at her team mates and then points at Charlie. "I want to switch with her!"

It would be soon that Thorn found herself in the body of a sea otter and the former Cheetah woman was just that again. "Alright then Charlie, Thron used her lifeline, what's the answer?"

"Is it, Aztec?" she asks, kind of sure about the answer.

"It would in fact be Aztec!"

"Nice," she says, congratulating herself.

"Now then Alfred, it's your turn to answer! Your question is... Name the island whose wildlife is 90% unique?

A) Madagascar
B) Greenland
C) Australia
D) New Zealand

"I'll go with A."

"Madagascar is correct!"

"String of right answers! Will Darwin keep it going? Let's find out! Which of these mammals lays eggs?

A) echidna
B) bongo
C) kiwi
D) Southern right whale

"Oh lord... the Kiwi?" He obviously is very nervous, his voice shaking as he answers.

"The last person on Team Evolution did he get the answer right....found out NEXT TIME!"

"Nah I'm just kidding. Imagine if I actually did that?" It's an echidna."

The fox's muzzle became much thinner and began to look more like a beak as brown fur adorned him as his whole body became smaller. Darwin's body became coated in light quills while his hands and feet became smaller and paws. It wouldn't be long until the echidna came out from the clothes.

"You have a strange sense of humor, Nafster," Charile noted.

Alfred had to stop himself from chuckling.

"However, there is still a chance to make a tie-breaker." Nafster began. "Paradeisos will continue to be asked questions but if one gets any right, then it will lead to an official team victory for Paradeisos!"

"Okay, next question please." Charlie said.

"Alright, this one's going to that lynx fox lady Miko!" Nafster responded. And this one is about leopards, I'm one of those!" What do you call a group of Leopard?

A) A Herd
B) A Leap
C) A Clowder
D) A pride

Miko looked extremely confused by the question. "I... Huh... Damn..." She fidgeted a bit before sighing and saying: "Would this be a clowder?" She was visibly very nervous.

"Ah man, I like those ears." Nafster sighed. "It is actually B, Leap. Maybe you'll make a cute lil' leopard to."

Miko looked down and sighed, looking to her team's bench. "S-sorry..."

For the most part, Miko retained a similar body structure, save for yellow fur along with black spots. Her tail became much thinner as she fell onto her hands and feet. Her hair retreated into her fur while whiskers formed on either side of her face, and with a larger body left her as a leopard.

"It's okay, you did us good," Charlie complimented.

"Now then Charlie, you took over for Thorn so let's see if you know about your own species! Which one of the following is false?"

Cheetahs can't roar.
Cheetah cubs are born with all-white fur.
The black stripes on a cheetah's face help reduce glare.

"I'm pretty sure, the second is false," Charlie answered.

"That is...CORRECT! Team Paradeisos takes the victory!"

"Yes!" she exclaimed while Alf hugged Charlie, who returned it happily.

"It was a well fought battle, but Paradeisos managed to barely clutch out the win!" Nafster exclaimed happily. "This is just a taste of what elimination will be lack!" Nafster said turning to the transformed. "You're turning back this time and there's no elimination this week." Nafster explained. "But next time Paradeisos will get a bonus for winning! The loser of the next challenge will face elimination."

"Today's challenges are done! You'll be returned to norma; by production now." And wit that, the various transformed animals soon returned to their normal human and humanoid bodies.

"Agh, that was the most uncomfortable thing I've experienced." John, the former oyster commented.

"Now if anyone won't mind I'm taking a long hot shower" Feilex spoke up.

Darwin slinks off to the manor, hardly making eye contact with his teammates, ears and tail drooping. He felt bad for his team's loss, and even though it had't really affected his team, he now feared letting them down in the future.

Miko patted her body as she turned back. "Ah, better to be bipedal again."

John follows after Darwin. "Hey Darwin, don't feel bad. I got out on the first question."

He glances back at John momentarily, then turns tail and continues walking.

"Everyone go get some rest! Feel free to keep doing your normal life stuff in the manor as production gets ready for the next challenge!" Nafster called out to the crowd. "I'll be about the manor as well if anyone wants to chat!. Though Miko...I'd like to talk with you privately once you have the time. Perhaps another day. It's getting late."

The bells on the top of the manor rung, signaling it was noon and the games were ready to begin. The two teams soon piled into the room, Nafster leaning against a desk with a smile on his face waving to them as they walked in and took their seats. "Ah, slept well I hope!"

The first wrong answer of the day going to the disadvantageous team and having one eliminated already.

"Well, rules are rules John! Someone might swap out with you, who knows!" And with that, John's body rapidly shrunk down into his clothes and the inside of it seemed to be hollowing out vastly, leaving not much more than a tongue inside.

"Wait a freaking second....." Thorn says who was unsure of the answer, looking at her team mates and then points at Charlie. "I want to switch with her!"

It would be soon that Thorn found herself in the body of a sea otter and the former Cheetah woman was just that again. "Alright then Charlie, Thron used her lifeline, what's the answer?"

"Is it, Aztec?" she asks, kind of sure about the answer.

"It would in fact be Aztec!"

"Nice," she says, congratulating herself.

"Now then Alfred, it's your turn to answer! Your question is... Name the island whose wildlife is 90% unique?

A) Madagascar
B) Greenland
C) Australia
D) New Zealand

"I'll go with A."

"Madagascar is correct!"

"String of right answers! Will Darwin keep it going? Let's find out! Which of these mammals lays eggs?

A) echidna
B) bongo
C) kiwi
D) Southern right whale

"Oh lord... the Kiwi?" He obviously is very nervous, his voice shaking as he answers.

"The last person on Team Evolution did he get the answer right....found out NEXT TIME!"

"Nah I'm just kidding. Imagine if I actually did that?" It's an echidna."

The fox's muzzle became much thinner and began to look more like a beak as brown fur adorned him as his whole body became smaller. Darwin's body became coated in light quills while his hands and feet became smaller and paws. It wouldn't be long until the echidna came out from the clothes.

"You have a strange sense of humor, Nafster," Charile noted.

Alfred had to stop himself from chuckling.

"However, there is still a chance to make a tie-breaker." Nafster began. "Paradeisos will continue to be asked questions but if one gets any right, then it will lead to an official team victory for Paradeisos!"

"Okay, next question please." Charlie said.

"Alright, this one's going to that lynx fox lady Miko!" Nafster responded. And this one is about leopards, I'm one of those!" What do you call a group of Leopard?

A) A Herd
B) A Leap
C) A Clowder
D) A pride

Miko looked extremely confused by the question. "I... Huh... Damn..." She fidgeted a bit before sighing and saying: "Would this be a clowder?" She was visibly very nervous.

"Ah man, I like those ears." Nafster sighed. "It is actually B, Leap. Maybe you'll make a cute lil' leopard to."

Miko looked down and sighed, looking to her team's bench. "S-sorry..."

For the most part, Miko retained a similar body structure, save for yellow fur along with black spots. Her tail became much thinner as she fell onto her hands and feet. Her hair retreated into her fur while whiskers formed on either side of her face, and with a larger body left her as a leopard.

"It's okay, you did us good," Charlie complimented.

"Now then Charlie, you took over for Thorn so let's see if you know about your own species! Which one of the following is false?"

Cheetahs can't roar.
Cheetah cubs are born with all-white fur.
The black stripes on a cheetah's face help reduce glare.

"I'm pretty sure, the second is false," Charlie answered.

"That is...CORRECT! Team Paradeisos takes the victory!"

"Yes!" she exclaimed while Alf hugged Charlie, who returned it happily.

"It was a well fought battle, but Paradeisos managed to barely clutch out the win!" Nafster exclaimed happily. "This is just a taste of what elimination will be lack!" Nafster said turning to the transformed. "You're turning back this time and there's no elimination this week." Nafster explained. "But next time Paradeisos will get a bonus for winning! The loser of the next challenge will face elimination."

"Today's challenges are done! You'll be returned to norma; by production now." And wit that, the various transformed animals soon returned to their normal human and humanoid bodies.

"Agh, that was the most uncomfortable thing I've experienced." John, the former oyster commented.

"Now if anyone won't mind I'm taking a long hot shower" Feilex spoke up.

Darwin slinks off to the manor, hardly making eye contact with his teammates, ears and tail drooping. He felt bad for his team's loss, and even though it had't really affected his team, he now feared letting them down in the future.

Miko patted her body as she turned back. "Ah, better to be bipedal again."

John follows after Darwin. "Hey Darwin, don't feel bad. I got out on the first question."

He glances back at John momentarily, then turns tail and continues walking.

"Everyone go get some rest! Feel free to keep doing your normal life stuff in the manor as production gets ready for the next challenge!" Nafster called out to the crowd. "I'll be about the manor as well if anyone wants to chat!. Though Miko...I'd like to talk with you privately once you have the time. Perhaps another day. It's getting late."
