TftW:  The Audition.
Russell Brand tf/werecreature motif

NOTE:
This story is based on a nightmare I had in my character is in a cage and is turned into Russell Brand by Russell himself and as such it has a werecreature motif.   Also Fangoria is mentioned a few times as well.
--------------------------
Sometimes it's a good thing to get the part you've always wanted,   but however sometimes we end up regretting it.   Like Nathan for instance,  I don't think he was expecting this to happen,  in fact he was just hoping to get the part of a werecreature in the latest season of 'Shapeshifterz'  and in a way,   he sort of did -  but it wasn't exactly what he asked for.  Oh, he got to be a werecreature alright -  just not the one he had in mind.

It started with him in the audition room,  waiting in line to audition for the part of a werecreature on the popular tv show 'Shapeshifterz' and he was reading a couple of the werecreature centric issues of Fangoria to pass the time including the ones highlighting An American Werewolf In London,  The Howling,  Wolf,  Silver Bullet,  Cat People,  and Cursed - the latter wasn't one of his favorite horror movies -  because of how he detested CGI being used for transformation scenes as opposed to practical fx.   But nonetheless,  it helped continue the burning passion he had for werecreatures that he got from watching shows like Big Wolf On Campus and the Teen Wolf animated series.

While in the audition room,  he ran into his arch-enemy Russell Brand.  Russell told him that he knew of a way he could help him become a werecreature for real -  unfortunately,  it was one that Nathan couldn't trust.   But luckily though he was a very forgiving man and could forgive Russell for the times he had been a victim of his revenge plots. 

"So what do you say?  Would you like me to show you?

"Well...when you put it that way. Sure.   But you better not do anything dangerous."

"Great..follow me..."

Nathan followed Russell to the set,  a couple of minutes later Russell explained to him exactly what his method of giving him his dream role was.   He listened carefully as he turned to him,   he was nervous about this as if he had the feeling that something wrong was going to happen.

Russell leaned closer to him before giving a reassuring grin,  he then beckoned for him to come closer which he did,  his teeth sharpening as his canines extended to become akin to fangs -  he sank his teeth into Nathan's right arm,  causing him to let out a yowl of pain as this happened.

"OWWW!  What did you do that for?"

"You'll see..."

"What do you mean by...oh no.."

A series of uncomfortable sensations jolted through his body as low growling sounds emitted from his stomach,   he clutched his stomach and groaned as he could feel the pain coursing through him.     The sensations bubbled forth in physical form as black hairs of some kind grew on his chest,  his chest and torso lengthening a bit as his arms stretched and lengthened,   his hands enlarging a bit as a pair of black leathery gloves materialized on them.    In addition to this his complexion lightened but became quite dirty in some parts as his fingernails lengthened and sharpened.

He panicked several times as his outfit morphed from his regular attire into a copy of Russell's signature black leathery one while his legs lengthened,  the black leathery substance fusing with his shoes and turning them into a pair of leathery boots of the jet black variety.    He fell on all fours as he felt his back lengthen,  his height increasing to 6'2 as he gained about 172lbs of lithe muscle.

In addition to this his shoulders broadened a bit as his neckline lengthened,  his hair slowly darkening,  at first to a darker shade of brown and then developing black highlights, and then blackening completely as it grew longer and messier,  taking on a style akin to Russell's own.   His eyebrows thickened and blackened to match,  his eyes turning a darker shade of brown as they widened,  black eye-liner was applied around them as his brow became a bit more pronounced.

He panicked a few more times as his features slowly morphed and reshaped themselves,  his nose realigning itself in terms of shape and size as barely visible facial scruff formed around his jawline,  his cheekbones sharpening as his features morphed further,  giving him Russell's complete appearance.   His voice shifted in tone and developed an Essex accent, giving him the voice to match his appearance,   there was also a much deeper voice he could use to frighten people.

His memories and personality shifted,  traces of who he was being replaced with the memories and persona that belonged to you guessed it...Russell,  yes he remembered that he was comedian Russell Brand and that he was auditioning for a role on this werecreature centric show titled Shapeshifterz.   He got up and then saw he was in the cage that was going to be used for the escape scene.

"I'm ready..."

"Good,  action!"

And so Russell worked hard to deliver a good performance in hopes that he'd end up getting the part,   in the end he did and it proved to be his most popular character yet.  Well..as for what happened that later,  he spent the rest of the night as who he currently was and he enjoyed every minute of it.

Although it wasn't exactly what he had in mind,  he wasn't opposed to it and didn't mind being Russell.   Russell wasn't his first choice to turn into but he did see why it was one of the most common transformations he had undergone.   Still he had to admit,  this form did have plenty of advantages.
