Shuriken Bean Phighting TF

After touching the infected leaf, the user begins to transform into a small, bean-shaped Inphernal (specifically, a Shuriken Bean). Their body gradually shrinks and becomes rounder, their limbs becoming smaller until they take on the characteristic bean-like shape. Their facial features also change to match their new form.

Two long horns begin to grow from their forehead, each curving slightly upward as they develop. The bases of both horns initially appear green, but the colour gradually fades into their natural pink shade as the transformation progresses. A pattern of pink, blue, and green dots and triangles slowly forms across their forehead, becoming more vivid and defined over time.

Finally, a small Oni mask forms on their face. The mask is black and green and serves as a charm to ward off evil beans.

story: You were an Herbalist. People could come to you with questions about herbs, and you always had an answer. You knew which plants could heal, which could soothe, and which were best left untouched

Or so you thought.

When the Inphernal Infection broke out, people stopped coming to you. They were afraid your herbs might be infected, afraid that even the smallest particles of the infection could spread to them. They kept their distance, refusing to trust you or the knowledge you'd spent years gathering. It was a shame, really. You liked those people, even if they never seemed to care much about you. You still tried to help them, offering remedies and advice whenever you could. But they wanted nothing to do with you. They stayed away from the safety of your home, convinced they knew better. And, eventually, they got infected.

---

Time passed, and you eventually heard rumours of a sanctuary. A place where friendly Inphernals, Inphernal Beans, and uninfected humans could coexist without fear of being attacked. It sounded almost too good to be true, but you couldn't help being curious. Perhaps there were people there who could use your knowledge. Perhaps you could finally be useful again.

One day, a seemingly friendly Inphernal approached you. They had dark purple, wavy horns and an awkward manner about them, though they didn't seem particularly threatening, they seemed sane, and pretty air-headed and akaward. They claimed to know about the sanctuary and led you to a forest not too far from your home, infact, it was right next to your house.

Once there, they handed you a few leaves. ''You need to... do something with these... uhh-'' they mumbled, seemingly unsure of what to say next. Their gaze wandered before suddenly landing on your bruised hands, the result of a recent struggle with another Inphernal.

''Uhh, gotta go, im really sorry-''

And just like that, they hurried off, leaving you alone in the forest.

How odd.

A bit too odd.

You look closely at the leaves, and freeze. Those are infected, and that fool didn't notice.
