"Hey, what happens if I combine two or three of these?" Al asks.

[Alchemist]

"NEVER. EVER. Mix two of my potions directly. Ever. It could cause transformative explosions, spontaneous generation of city-destroying monsters, noxious fumes, summoning of demons or gods of mischief, a hankering for chocolate..it's totally unpredictable! As for mixing them as in, taking one and then taking another on top of it, eh, that depends on the specific potions, lemme look at those again..." the alchemist looks over Albedo's purchased potions. He points first to the two pokemon potions. "Don't mix those with anything, including each other. Technically they act as class and race at the same time, results would be chaotic and unpredictable if you were to mix 'em. The others you've got there, I think you could mix all three of those, but personally I wouldn't recommend trying to mix sorceress with princess. Results might be a bit wonky. I should let you know that if you (or, you know, whoever you're buying potions for) wait five minutes after taking one potion, your form will be 'locked in' and taking another one will just shift it as if the 'locked in' form was your base form. Got it?"
[[The pokemon potions are actually labeled with specific species, I'm just assuming that you want to decide which two those are]]

"Thank you kindly" says Gustav as he unscrews the cork of the 'White Mage' potion. "Now then, time to learn the mysteries of Black Magic!" he says, downing the potion!

[Albedo]

"Noted. Will never ever do." Al said as he contemplates which one(s) to drink himself.

[Maiden Miki]

To Don he comments, "I can give you my utmost assurance that all the potions on that shelf will increase a person's masculinity for some period of time. I just can't tell you how long, or guarantee you'll return afterward to the same form you were in before taking the potion."

"Well I personally feel I am masculine enough," said Don as he puts the potion away. "I am more looking for something that would provide me a strength such as bullet proof or the like. Maybe some sort of temporary energy blast ability of sorts even."

[Alchemist]

"Uh, that's not...bah." The alchemist starts to warn Gustav, but just trails off. A second or two after quaffing the potion, Gustav finds himself sweating very briefly. His clothes seem to absorb the sweat, leaving his skin dry again, and then they turn mostly white, and whatever he's got on his torso starts to get smaller and tighter while the rest starts getting looser. His hair grows very long and turns a sort of deep blue color; he also starts getting shorter and thinner, the latter especially with his stomach.

The alchemist, meanwhile, turns to Don and rummages around in his counter of holding some more. "I'm sure the barbarian or amazon or knight potions would give you some form of bullet-proofness, maybe the electromage one too. Temporary blasts of energy is a very broad thing to ask for, and could be covered by practically any form of mage or chi-user class..let's see here, I'm sure I have a strength potion in here somewhere..."

[Albedo]

After some thinking, Al takes the elf potion and drinks that.

[Feng]

"Huh?" says Gustav somewhat queasily as he glances down at his changing outfit. "This doesn't look like a Black Mage's outfit. I must have grabbed something else by mistake..." he says glancing at the bottle. "Crud..."

[Maiden Miki]

"I'm sure the barbarian or amazon or knight potions would give you some form of bullet-proofness, maybe the electromage one too.

"Extra strength is always welcome. Sometimes my current strength does needs a boost that doesn't come in the form of items," said Don as he was thinking about that.

[Alchemist]

While he's talking, Gustav's voice starts rising. His clothes, other than undergarments and shoes, all fuse together now into a robe with big red triangles along the hem. His shoes tighten a bit on his feet but that's about it; underwear, on the other hand, shifts entirely to the feminine sorts. Though he's still technically male at the moment (which makes the shifted underwear kind of uncomfortable), Gustav's chest starts swelling.
[[Forgot to mention in last post, but Gustav's potion tasted like a cut on his tongue being rapidly healed, which is actually pretty painful.]]

Albedo's potion tastes rather terrible; it's like if he had licked a tree, but without the splinters. He starts to grow taller; his hair grows down past his shoulders and appears to bleach itself while his eyes invert their color to a bright red shade. Before his clothes get too small and start breaking, Albedo sweats out into them and they start to grow with him, turning a bright green shade as they do so.

The alchemist is busy answering Don. "I do have temporary five-minute stat booster potions over there," says the alchemist, pointing at the Non-transformative section. "Those include some strength potions." He digs out four potions from his counter then, placing them on the counter. One of them says "STRONG", just like that in all caps; the next one says "Warrior" the other two just say "Strength" on them. He points to the first one. "This one will definitely keep you male, and make you incomprehensibly strong, to the point where you probably won't want to handle anything the least bit breakable...I don't recommend it but if you really need strength it may be for you. The next one is a class potion that will boost your strength even if you're already pretty strong..the other two are just run-of-the-mill permanent strength boosters; I'd suggest taking both of 'em because they aren't all that potent. There's always a trade-off between potency and permanency, you see."

[Albedo]

Al smiles over his form before taking the sorceress potion he had, which he thought was just a generic term for both genders, and drinks that down too. After a short pause to make sure weird things don't happen... hopefully.

"Hmm...I only need something that is temporary. Nothing too long. Five minutes should be enough I guess I take one of those," said Don nodding in the direction of said potions.

[Feng]

"Owth! My tongueth" curses Gustav, rubbing 'his' tongue, the pain distracting him from the other changes.

[Alchemist]

The alchemist nods to Don. "Well okay then, so go get one." (So we're clear, the ones on the "non-transformative" section's shelf that he pointed to are the temporary ones)

Gustav's delayed-reaction pain is short-lived; likewise, the rest of the change doesn't take too long. He turns female, her chest and upper body figure now being rather nicely shown off by the tight middle part of the robe, and a mass of knowledge and ability to cast all sorts of healing spells enters her brain. Anything from healing papercuts to reviving the recently dead now only require a bit of magic and effort from her to accomplish! The alchemist turns to address Gustav briefly: "I should note that my potions don't steal abilities, so anything you could do before you should be able to now..for the most part at least. And if you actually gain masterful understanding of any of your present form's abilities, they'll stay with you even if you lose that form."

The sorceress potion tastes kinda like if someone were to take spicy and minty pop rocks and mixed them together before shoving them into Al's mouth. His change pauses for a second, along with a small queasy feeling in his stomach as the two potions interact, and then he starts growing even more than before and sweating again. He stays pretty thin everywhere except his hips, which expand outward a bit, and his upper legs. His ears feel like they're stretching as they grow out into very long, pointy ears. His hair takes another color change, turning to a golden blond color, and also grows longer, reaching about the bottom of his stomach. The clothes start breaking apart: The shirt splits into sleeves, a top part attached to his shoulders, and a bottom part which promptly falls around his hips and exposes his midriff. The pants split into a white-colored part for his legs and a golden-colored part which starts pulling itself to either side of the quickly lengthening bottom-shirt-section.

[Albedo]

Al groans and grabs his stomach, too distracted by the pain to notice some of the other changes. It isn't until he notices his hips, "Wait.... why did they get so wide?"
