Zeydaan cannot become Bees
Commission for
Greyhawk89 based on a running gag started from this infographic. The poor shapeshifting Zeydaan can't catch a break in the job industry with their insectoid shortcoming.
...as the job interview went on, Zeydaan became more and more hopeful and confident. Every question they'd answered with a seemingly-perfect response. And every question question they'd had for the interviewer had further confirmed that this was the perfect job for them. They'd be getting to do something they loved, and get paid well for doing so.
The interviewer smiled and wrote something done on the sheet of paper he was working on. "This is all coming together very well indeed, Mx Jem. I think you're exactly the shape-changing werewolf-dragon hybrid we've been looking for to fill this position. But before I can shake your hand and say 'Welcome Aboard!', there is one final important question I need you to answer."
Zeydaan straightened up and looked attentive.
"Can you become bees?"
Zeydaan straightened up further and now looked confused. "What?"
"Can you become bees?" the interviewer asked in complete earnestness.
"... I can become a bee.." Zeydaan said slowly, a sinking feeling filling their stomach. Oh damn, not this AGAIN!... They managed to hold back the urge to give a canine whine of despair.
" 'A' bee? Uh..." the interviewer frowned slightly. "Just one?"
"Just one.. but, I can make it a really BIG bee!" Zeydaan said hopefully.
The interviewer shook his head in disappointment. "Not what we need, I'm afraid. This position, which I admit you are otherwise highly qualified for, required being able to become many bees at once, preferably with a hived-mind controlling them. Tut tut..."
Zeydaan's ears went flat against their head, they raised their hands in a helpless gesture.
The interviewer's frown deepened and he shook his head sadly. "I see. Very well then. I'm am sorry, Mx Jem, but I am afraid I cannot accept your application for the position we are currently hiring for. I must say though that it was a pleasure to meet you and I hope you do gain meaningful employment elsewhere." He leaned forward over his desk and offered the dejected werewolf a firm handshake.
... Zeydaan trudged out of the building's main lobby, ears flat, tail drooping, eyes fixed on the floor as they walked. As they walked they briefly noticed a man in a business walking the other way with a grin on his face. There was a burst of magic and the man became a large swarm of bees that continued flying in the direction the man had been walking.
The werewolf felt a spurt of boiling envy for a second before it was smothered in grey despair; then they stepped out of the building and into the miserably cold drizzling rain.

...as Zeydaan trudged along on their lonely way back to their flat, they passed a small park with a bunch on amateur actors in a covered gazebo doing Hamlet.
"To bee, or not to bee..."
Zeydaan walked faster. The water running down from the corners of my eyes is just rain, they told themself. Not tears, just rain...

Nick Cage cringed and used his hands to claw around his face dramatically. "NO, NOT THE BEES, NOT THE BEES!" he wailed.
Zeydaan walked up hopefully and started flexing and straining in their effort to become bees. "Grrrmph! nnnNNNTHGK! RRrrgh!" They gave up with a sad sigh, looking tired and defeated.
Nick Cage stared at them for a moment, then gave them a condescending pat on the head. "Nice try kid; now get out of here."
Zeydaan walked off with a whimper, ears flat and tail hanging limply.
Nick Cage watched them leave, then stood there for a moment before he resumed cringing and wailing, arm flailing wildly. "NO, NOT THE BEES! THE BEES!"
