“We gotta do monsters. Think of all the cool outfits and it lends itself to creativity. People will only be held back by their imaginations.” Joe argued looking eagerly to see if he swayed them.
The rest of the roommates didn’t feel strongly about it and felt they wouldn’t hear the end of it if Joe failed to get his way. Tommy answered, “It’s cool man we will capitulate. So what kind of creature are you thinking of being?”
Joe answered, “I will do better than tell you.” With that he used the shapeshifting medallion. His appearance didn’t change more that growing a long beard. He put out his hand a blue light shot forth into hole in the wall that Brad created diving for a football while playing with one of his buddies. The hole sealed itself leaving no mark on the wall. “How about that! I am now a wizard. At our party I can transform people into their costumes. I will also make it so that no one will notice anything strange. The party will be legendary.”
Sarcastically Mark said, “Most impressive Gandolf. But your costume sucks. You are just a dude with a beard.”
Joe looked angrily at Mark. “I gave myself amazing magical powers. I can whip up a cool costume whenever I want. Plus, I was curious how I would look with a beard. What idea do you got hot shot?” He stroked his beard as he talked. The medallion dropped from Joe who telekinetically passed it to Mark.
Mark sneered, “Watch this.” He grew taller as he bulked up stretching his shirt to its limit. His skin turned a deep rich red color. As horns thrust out of his head. Teeth sharpened and tongue split as it became forked. He stuck it out for effect. A long tail trailed out from him with a pointed end. He snapped his clawed fingers producing flames that shaped into a contract. A sinister grin formed on his face as he said, “Care to make a deal?”
“Whoa are you offering a wish for our souls?” Tommy asked looking up at the devilish creature before him.
“No of course not. I wouldn’t even know what to do with them. I am a horny devil. I make deals of a of a sexual nature for a price. Muwahahaha. Pretty cool for the party right?” Mark looked self satisfied.
“Not bad but I still think that being a wizard is better. Now what do you guys got?” Joe queried Tommy and Larry.
“Sorry I haven’t given it any thought. Let me see if I come up with something. “ Tommy picked up the medallion after it appeared. Using the magical item his body his body grew gray in pallor. Stitching formed at various joints on his body. His hair became black with white streaks on either side. It stiffened rising up into a near cylindrical shape.
“Bride of Frankenstein I can’t argue with a classic. Though a twist of it you could turn into Frankenhooker.” Joe stated while admiring Tommy’s appearance.
“Nah I was thinking of being the monster I just didn’t want to tear out of my clothes. Nobody wants to see my manhood on display.” Tommy explained.
“Especially any ladies.” Mark snickered causing the collected guys to laugh.
Larry interrupted deciding to join in, “I would like to try out a costume idea I came up with.” With the medallion falling free from Tommy almost on cue. Larry grabbed up the medallion putting it on himself. Several minutes passed before the medallion again reemerged with no visible change to Larry.
Curious Mark asked, “What did you do turn yourself into a magical girl?” He grinned at the little girl before him.
Larry smiled his head turning into Mark’s with a voice matching his friends saying, “That might be fun to try later. But I actually turned myself into a shapeshifter that doesn’t require the medallion.”
