It's a crack prompt, I think -- first time you transform into something else is probably going to be traumatic. As I've actually written crack transformation before, it's in my wheelhouse! *g*

Admittedly, my brain is full of POI, where I don't have particularly cracky reactions to stuff, but there are plenty of other options out there...

The not-vetoing was the result of being v v tired at the time, and also feeling vaguely like if I vetoed something, then got something else I really didn't want, I'd feel like I should have known to veto *that* instead, and figuring screw it -- at least I could just have an even playing field for myself! (... it made sense at the time *g*)
