From the notes of the glorious Doctor Pretorius:

I knew I had a snake transformation potion lying around somewhere. While I had no idea how old it was, I don't care! It was easy to find a volunteer to test it out, especially when they tend to just wander onto your property.. I don't know what it is with people and ignoring "NO TRESPASSING" signs, but hey, it gives me unlimited test subjects to work on.

Not only did the subject survive drinking the potion that I figured was well past its prime, she also seems to enjoy the results. Not having to dispose of a failure AND not having to silence someone? That's a big win!

((Originally intended to be a YCH for the Year of the Snake, I messed up the layers and just finished something. I might still go ahead with the YCH if anyone is interested, even have a whole sequence drawn out.))
