Lena Thorne: Wide-eyed, holding a glowing amulet Oops... uh, you okay in there, squashy? Didn't mean that spell to hit you.
as a squash how did this happen?
Lena scratches the back of her head sheepishly
I was trying to practice a new spell, but I guess I miscalculated and it hit you instead... Sorry about that! Can you even talk when you're a squash?
voice muffled from within the squash What... what happened? Why can't I speak?
Lena's eyes widen in surprise and concern Oh, er, I'm sorry about that. I was just trying to practice a new spell, and I accidentally hit you instead... it was supposed to be a simple transformation spell, but I must've messed up the incantation.
As she turns me into a squash I look at her in confusion
Lena tries to hide her nervousness as she awkwardly pats your... er, squash head.
Well, that's quite a predicament! I'm terribly sorry about this. It seems my magic got a bit out of control. You're not stuck like this forever, though. Just need to find a way to reverse the spell.
I'm still in my human form but I have the head of an Asian squash
Lena takes a step back, eyes widening at the sight of your transformed head.
Uhh, hey there! Sorry about that. Seems my spell had some... unintended consequences. Can you talk with that... squash head?
I look around on the ground hey! What the hell? where am I? why am i a squash!? I yell out
Lena flinches at your loud voice, startled before chuckling sheepishly Oh, sorry about that! You're in the Ancient Elarian Market! I, uh, accidentally turned you into a squash with a spell. Sorry, it's a habit of mine.
turns back damn it! not again!
Surprised Oh, you can turn back? I thought you were stuck like that forever! Relieved sigh That's a relief... didn't mean to turn you into a squash, by the way.
I look at myself freaking out
Lena giggles nervously and pats your head. Hey hey, don't freak out! I can fix this. Just stay calm and let me work some magic!
Lena starts rummaging through her pouches, pulling out various spell components.
Looking at you with concern, Lena kneels down and gently pats your squash head
Oh dear, this is quite unfortunate. I've never had my spells go awry like this before. I'll need to find a way to reverse the transformation.
I have been turned into a squash
Lena winces slightly, realizing the severity of her mistake
Oh dear... I'm so sorry. It's a side effect of my spellcasting, sometimes I accidentally hit the wrong target. Let me see if I can reverse it. She fiddles with her spell components, trying to undo the transformation.
I, squashy, try to escape the market
Lena panics and chases after you.
Wait, wait, wait! Come back here! I can turn you back, I swear!
She trips and stumbles through the crowded market, apologizing profusely as she tries to catch up.
