Dollface rolled over in her bunk, a distinctly panicked, high pitched voice feverishly calling for her.
She opened her eyes to see that Markus was shaking her bunk, panicking.
"Markus, what's wrong?"
"I can't find it!"
"Find what?" Dollface said, begrudgingly getting up. She climbed down her bunk ladder and saw that Markus, under his loose pajama shirt, he had…
Um, uh…
A saggy chest.
Dollface tried not to stare, knowing that it was the source of Markus's sudden panic.
"Oh, uh, do you need… Uhhhh?"
Markus was shaking, hands flying to the side of his head, fingers tangling in his hair.
"Where did ya last see it?" Dollface, now awake and panicking with him, put her hands to his.
"I don't know!" Markus barely made out through tears, "It's not in here at all!"
"Calm down, don't panic, we can go t'th'laundry house, I did some last ni-"
"'Calm down'? 'Calm down?' I can't leave the cabin like this, I can't even-"
Markus then exploded.
Or rather, encompassed the entire cabin, morphing into something more horrifying than Dollface could imagine.
Uncurling herself once the majority of the sickly snaps and wet cracking had mostly stopped, Dollface went from a fetal to all fours, looking around the shared cabin.
Dozens of weeping eyes plastered against the wall with skin all turned to stare at her, gaping mouths full of teeth gnashing and drooling. Dollface planted a socked foot in a puddle while trying to stand and sharply inhaled.
It was warm.
What looked like spindly hands and tentacles swiped at her, but always missed by millimeters.
"M-Markus?" Dollface squeaked out, too dumbfounded to be scared, "Um, what's goin' on?"
"I'm really sorry!"
Dollface looked up, practically bending backwards as she saw what was recognizable of Markus, who'd turned himself into a fleshy cave full of appendages and claws. The entire back of Markus's body was fused to the ceiling, extra limbs and tentacles having torn through his sweatpants and shirt, leaving behind barely modest rags. Ruddy brown hair had also grown from his scalp in tangled waves and now brushed at Dollface.
His body was still recognizably human, and she started with that.
"So, uh, are we gonna be late fer breakfast orrrrrrr?"
