The pod

When you saw the pod to your left it immediately caught your attention with its bright red color. Its size like that of a phone booth and the bright led lights inside of it make you want to step inside of it and inspect it, since just by looking at it from the outside you have no way to understand how that thing works or what it does.


As soon as you step into the pod the doors instantly close behind you, and suddenly you hear the machine start to work making weird noises. The led lights start to glow brighter, and it’s almost like the light is radiating through you. You feel strange, as your whole body starts to tingle, while your clothes seem to be disappearing into thin air. You start to panic.


What do you do?

1. You are too scared to do anything
2. You try to break free

The helmets

As alluring as the other devices are, you can’t help but feel irresistibly drawn to the strange helmets you see to your right. Placed as they are on top of two mannequins, they look just like something out of some of cyberpunk movie. You get close to inspect them, and see that the helmet to the left with wires coming out of it and going into a huge computer is labeled “Project A.I.”, while the one to your right that looks just like a VR set is labelled “Game of twilight project”. You are simply too curious, and soon feel compelled to try one of the two on.

Which one do you put on?

1. The one to your left
2. The one to your right

The gate

It was pretty obvious towards which device you would have gravitated. Whatever that portal is, it looks simply incredible. You can’t help but be intrigued by its weird appearance, so you start to inspect it.


The weird blue surface looks just like the surface of a pond, except for the weird and otherworldly light at the bottom of it. The only thing that can help you possibly figure out what you are looking at is what looks like a control panel to its right, but the only switch you can find on it was some kind of wheel.


The only possible thing to do seem to be to mess with it and see what happens, so you decide to try to spin it. As you do so, you notice the light inside the portal get more intense, like something has been activated. You stare at that light transfixed, almost hypnotized by it, and some kind of strange force compels you to step through the gate and find out what awaits you to the other side of it.


How much did you spin the wheel?

1. You spun it a little
2. You spun it a lot
3. You spun it a whole lot

The chemical lab

You instinctively step into the room to your left. In front of you, you found what looks like a pretty plain and uninteresting chemical laboratory. You expected something fancier given all the stories you heard about that place. What really surprises you is the fact that most of the stills and alembic you see around you seem to be empty.

An ampoule filled with a bright pink liquid suddenly catches your attention. You look at it transfixed. Its brightness is so intense that it almost seems to be glowing, and as you smell it intrigued you find out that it smells incredibly nice, like a perfume.

You know it would not be wise at all to drink its content without having any idea of what it is, but you feel strangely compelled to take it in your hand and bring it close to your mouth.

What do you do?

1. You hesitate
2. You drink it

The TG Formula

You simply can’t help it. Maybe it is hasty, if not downright dangerous, to drink something without any clue of what the consequences may be. But nothing that smells that sweet could really be harmful after all, right?


Your hand shakes as you bring the ampoule to your mouth, and you take a deep breath before chugging the pink liquid down. It tastes even sweeter than you would have imagined. As soon as you have emptied the container, you feel your guts starting to twist and turn, and as an intense pain grips your stomach you can’t help but letting the ampoule go. As it crashes on the floor you fall on your knees while holding your belly. It burns, and you start to feel unbearably hot. It almost feels like you are about to melt.


Your body suddenly starts to change. You feel the skin on your hand start to tingle, and as you look at it you see your nails elongate, your fingers and hand become slim and dainty, and the hair on your arm retreat into your body. A flock of hair falls in front of your face, and as you take it in your hand you see it keep growing longer and longer. Suddenly you feel a stinging pain on your chest, and you can’t help but let out a yelp as two round mounds of flesh suddenly erupt on your chest, a yelp that comes out in a high-pitched voice that does not belong to you. All your body starts to ache, as your bones crack and rearrange themselves, and your muscles shrivel until your figure becomes slender and delicate. Finally you feel the bulge in your crotch deflate, as your balls recede into your groin, your penis become smaller and smaller until it becomes nothing more than a button, and a slit painfully forms between your legs.


As the changes finally stop so does the pain, and you can finally catch your breath and inspect your changed body. You can’t help but bring your dainty hands to your chest in disbelief, and you gasp as you give a firm squeeze to your new breasts. You get more and more scared, and you immediately check out what’s now down in your groin. All you can find is an alien and unsettling void where your dick used to be. You are a girl!


Shocked and confused you realize that you have to do something and find a way to change back, but all you can find around you are three other alembics placed on the desk beside you. One contains a red liquid, one a green one, and the last one a blue one. One of them may possibly undo the effects of the last potion you drunk, but there’s no way to know that for sure, and most importantly even if that was the case there is really no way to know which one of them may be the cure.

What do you do?

1. It's too dangerous
2. You drink the red one
3. You drink the green one
4. You drink the blue one

Royalty

You can do nothing but stare powerless from afar as your husband performs his speech in front of the crowd of his subjects. You may know nothing about the politics and the religion of ancient Egypt, but you have seen enough historical drama to know that it will do him no good to just keep following to a tee all the advices that snake of the minister gives him. But no matter how many times you try to warn him and help him, he’s just as confused and powerless as you are. You wish you paid more attention to all those documentaries on ancient Egypt aired on History Channel. If you did, by now you would know what awaits you and your husband. Instead you can just stand back and watch as the greatest empire of the ancient times is devastated by religious intestine conflicts and war with other people.


‘It could have been worse’ you repeat to yourself. ‘I could have ended up as a slave or god knows what else’. Even though you are now stuck as a woman, and married to your stepbrother, you can at least be happy that you are the wife of the pharaoh, which makes you the richest and most powerful woman in the world. That unfortunately is not saying much, since you husband is nothing but a puppet in the hands of men smarter and more ruthless than him, and you definitely are no Cleopatra. But at least as long as you will be stuck in this age and place you are more or less guaranteed that you will live a lavish and secure life, at least until someone decides to kill your husband or something.


But for how long are you going to be stuck in this age? So far all you could do was to just passively live your new life, and you have no idea of how you can get out of this predicament. Are you really doomed to be stuck like this for the rest of your life, trapped in a body that isn’t your own? You can only hope that’s not the case. You heard theories about the pyramids being built by aliens, maybe those stories are true and some grey or reptilian alien is going to take you back to your old life somehow. But for the time being you are Ankhesenamon, the queen of queens and wife of Tutankhamon, a god on heart, even though a powerless one. As crazy and intimidating as it all sounds, you think you can live through this for a while.

High society

You stare out of the window and sigh melancholic as you see the carriage approaching your house. Your luxurious, huge, and cold house. You feel just like a character out of a Jane Austen book, or at least from a movie adapted from one of those books. You were never into that kind of stuff. Stories about high society chicks in the Victorian era, all mopey and pouting because they have to marry some rich asshole while they wish for true love and freedom, were never really compelling for your male self. But now that you are stuck as one you can definitely relate a lot more.


It really does suck to not have any kind of voice and to be treated like little more than an object to be traded, but such was the life for women in Victorian England, for noble ones at least, and since movements for social progress for women are still a few years ahead of your current timeline, all you can do right now to try to get out of your predicament is to do your best with what you have.


That’s why you have decided to accept the duke’s proposal. He is an irritating stuck-up snob just like all the other noblemen you have met since you have woken up to your new life, and to top it off he’s even way older than you are, but if you accept his marriage proposal you are sure your mother will not turn down your request to visit the United States before your wedding. And once there… you don’t even know what you are going to do. The more you think about it, the more looking for Nikola Tesla and ask him help to return you to your time and body sounds preposterous. You don’t even remember where you have read that he was working on a time machine before he died, it was probably bullshit anyway. But that’s the closest thing you have to a plan right now, and you are getting more and more desperate.


Maybe being stuck as the only daughter of a rich English landlord is not all that bad, you could definitely have ended up a lot worse off in this age, but life as a noblewoman is no life for you. You hate to not be free to do anything, and to have all those bullshit rules to abide by, and most of all you hate being a girl! The mannerism, the uncomfortable clothes, the way people treat you. It’s just the worst! Maybe your plan is just a bunch of nonsense, but it’s the only hope you see for yourself right now, and you are not going to give up yet! There must be a way to get back home as yourself!
