While the three lounged around in the living room, watching TV, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," Sean said as she (or he or whatever) leapt up from the couch to answer the door. Phantomness came up behind Sean, wondering who it could be.
As Sean opened the door, they could see four people standing there, though they weren't people in the strictest sense, that is, they were not completely human, being furries of one sort or another.
The first was a handsome male centaur with short dark hair, a powerful muscular build, and chestnut fur. His only clothing was a belt from which dangled several pouches.
The second was a petite Asian woman with rabbit ears and four breasts who was wearing a white halter top (through which her nipples were visible suggesting that she wasn't wearing any sort of bra) and very short blue-jean cut-off shorts. When she turned to the side, it was possible to see her fluffy bunny tail poking over the top of the shorts.
The third was a slender guy with red hair and a runner's physique, whose body was completely covered in green scales, at least everywhere that his clothing (T-shirt, running shorts, and tennis shoes) left exposed.
The fourth was the most unusual of all. She was sitting in a wheelchair, obviously because her lower body was that of a fish. Her upper body looked human except for the coating of white fur. The fur ended at her neck, above which she looked completely human, with the exception of having large horse ears instead of normal ones. Her only clothing was a black sports bra.
"Yes, can I help you?" Sean asked.
"Thank you, great Father, for agreeing to see us. We wish you long life and good health," said the centaur.
"Um, yeah, okay," Sean said. "Do you want to come in or something?"
"Blessings be upon you," he said, nodding agreement, so Sean and Phantomness made way, allowing the four to enter. "My name is David. This is Noriko," he said, indicating the bunny girl, "Josh," indicating the scaly guy, "and Jessica."
"Okay, nice to meet you," Sean said. "Now, why exactly are you here?"
"We have a petition," David said. "We wish to be returned to normal."
"Why do you want to be normal?" Phantomness asked.
"Look at me," David said, and the three adventurers did, staring at his chiseled hard body. "I could be a serious athlete, if not for these legs. I mean, sure, I compete in the centaur divisions, but nobody takes those seriously. You can't earn much money or become famous in the centaur division. The others have their reasons as well."
"Yeah, look at me," Josh said. "I've got fishy scales all over. That's not that bad, and I guess I'm a better swimmer than pure humans. But the scales are everywhere. You know what fish have for external genitalia? Nothing! There's no way I can have any sort of normal sex life."
"And they have it easy compared to me," Jessica interjected. "Almost nobody has such a mixed up body as I do. Even among the other furries, I'm a freak. Plus, I can't even walk."
"And what about you, Noriko?" Sean asked.
"I... I mean... it's not safe to walk the streets anymore, not with those CYPHER nutjobs. If I were human, I wouldn't have to worry about them. My next door neighbor had his house vandalized by them. I'm just afraid all the time."
