Well, where are we? Maybe we can get her some clothes? Or she can take off that tie? Swap shirts with you maybe?

Lend her our antlers. Nobody would suspect she was an otter then.

wait

OK OK I got it. Take the clothes off of Grace's dead body, wearing those they'll think she's

wait

Do we still have our safety helmet we can give her to hide those otter ears?

Hmm I don't suppose we could do some digital weirdness and give Grace a copy of our body?

>Lend her our antlers. Nobody would suspect she was an otter then.
Unfortunately, your antlers are firmly planted in your head. Unless you were to saw them off and make her a headband, they’re stuck on you for now.

>Well, where are we?
Hard to see, but it seems your in the little lunch room you were in earlier.

>I got it. Take the clothes off of Grace's dead body, wearing those they'll think she's
>wait
Just a dusty pile of one’s and zero’s were her old body once stayed sadly.

>she can take off that tie? Swap shirts with you maybe?
Hm, that might work? Oh wait, your clothes aren’t going to fit her, she’s much smaller than you now. You still have her take the tie off though.

>Do we still have our safety helmet we can give her to hide those otter ears?
As a matter of fact, you do! You equip her with your make shift helmet. Ears now hidden.

Otter Grace: “Hm, I feel a little silly, but maybe this should be good enough. I guess for now we can just say I’m a new construction guy?”

With the makeshift disguise in place, you head over to helpful resources undisturbed.

HR Manager: “Here to finally return my keys?”

You return them to her. She sighs with relief and then squints at Otter Grace.

HR Manager: ”Is that…? Flynn who is that with you?”

How will you explain things to the HR Manager?

>>1076550
Tell her you have eliminated an intruder, but not before he swapped bodies with Grace. Is there any way they can restore a backup of her body or something?

Waaaaaaait a minute:

>>1072729
>It is your first day after all, and you haven’t introduced yourself to anyone yet.

>>1076550
>HR Manager: ”Is that…? Flynn who is that with you?”

we never told anyone, including the HR Manager our name, except to Grace.... How did she know our name was Flynn?

>>1076556
It's true!

Punch the impostor and make her switch bodies with Grace.

> leave it to Beaver!

Whatever we do, resist the urge to trade otter puns with her. Resist. Just calmly and collectedly tell her what's the motter.

>>1076556
HR usually knows who's who because they're the ones that usually have a say, if not the final say, on who's hired or fired. That said, no harm in bluffing and seeing if they know that fact or not.

>HR usually knows who's who because they're the ones that usually have a say, if not the final say, on who's hired or fired.

You would think she’d know your name? No harm in testing her though. You ask her how she knows your name, having not properly introduced yourself yet.

HR Manager: “I’d be a pretty bad manager if I didn’t know our employees names.”
She lets out a little chuckle.
HR Manager: “I should introduce myself more properly though, since you brought it up. The name’s Beaverly.”

Part of you groans internally hearing another corny pun.
>Tell her you have eliminated an intruder, but not before he swapped bodies with Grace. Is there any way they can restore a backup of her body or something?
You try your best to explain you gave the boot to an intruder, but he pulled off some weird body swap with Grace. You need help getting her back to normal.

Beaverly: “You know, with how screwy things have been here today, I almost believe it. How can you be sure that’s really Grace trapped inside some otter’s body though?”

Grace: “Well I know about the secret investor pizza party.”

Beaverly: “Well if this ain’t a beaver damn of a situation.”
She pauses for a moment.
Beaverly: “Alright, the best I can do to help is going into the employee records. I need you to gather up anything you can find that resembles Grace’s actual body. Clothing, fur, socks, shoes, the whole works. Got it?”

You’re a little confused on how she plans to use all of that to help, but it’s the best lead you’ve got for now. Where are you going to search around first?

>>1079385
Erm, what about pictures? Her employee of the month picture would be a great help.

>>1079385

Defragmentation? Anyway she should be able to safely go to her office now and can hide work in there. She might have some personal affects there. Does she even... have an apartment? I'm afraid her old body's clothes might have been the only clothes Grace owned.

>>1079389

We accidentally shredded that along with those silly cat pictures a while ago.

DNA samples maybe? Grab her coffee cup.

>Anyway she should be able to safely go to her office now and can hide work in there.
Well, if there was anything of hers left, it probably would be in her office. Maybe getting back to work will help keep her mind off this…new situation.

Otter Grace: “Quick, check my closet Flynn!”

A closet in an office room?
You open it up to find a wide wardrobe of the exact same outfits. You ask what’s up with that?

Otter Grace: “You have no idea how many times I’ve spilt coffee on my myself. There’s keyboards and mice up above too.”
Luckily the file didn’t share a similar fate.

>DNA samples maybe? Grab her coffee cup.
Speaking off coffee. Maybe you should bring take her coffee cup to? Just incase.

You’ve got her clothing figured out at least. Now, how to go about finding some of her fur?

>>1082484
Comb? Her chair? The floor of the office?

Check the floor of the closet, some may have shaken loose when she changed clothes.

Maybe there'll be fur on something she rubs against herself a lot.

Like her headset!

>>1082509
thats actually a great idea

Check inside the keyboards.
There is always hair inside the keyboards.

>Maybe there'll be fur on something she rubs against herself a lot. Like her headset!
She takes off her head set and looks at it for a moment. Hm, is it really a headset though when it’s resting on your ear?

Otter Grace: “Ew! Gross. Uh, no. I wish my fur was on this instead. I need to find something to clean this off with.”

>Check inside the keyboards. There is always hair inside the keyboards.
You flip over her keyboard and give it a good shake

Eugh! Either she sheds a lot or doesn’t clean out her keyboard.

Otter Grace: “Oh! Hm, maybe that’s why I have to press down harder on some of the keys.”

To make it easier to carry, you collect all her fur into the empty coffee cup.

You decide this should be more than enough to get her back to normal, and head back to Beaverly.

Beverly: “Wow, that was fast. Do you keep extra clothes here too Grace?”

Otter Grace: “Yeah, always spilling my coffee.”

Beaverly: “Yeesh. That’s a lot of fur too. Where’d you find all this?”

Otter Grace: “Don’t ask.”

Beaverly: “Alright then. I’m going to take this stuff over in the back. Just uh, give me a holler when she’s back to normal. Might take me a few tries to get it right.”

When you can see again, Grace is…well she’s a deer now at least.

Grace: “Oh Beaverly! I feel FAN-TAS-TIC! This new headset is soo cute too! Where did you find it? Hey Flynn how do I look? Do you want go hit up the dance club after work? We should go dancing!”

You do compliment her on her new look, but as cute as it is. It doesn’t really follow the work dress code.

Grace: “Aw. Well, yeah. Like, I guess you’re right. Alrighty try again Beaverly!”

Beaverly: “Thirty-two bit color mode?!? We don’t have the budget for graphics like that!”

Grace: “Well, how do I look?”

You're cured.

And you forgot to try out the otter sausage.

That looks about right, though her head looks smaller than before.

I love this quest, I swear.

Turn her back into male otter and then kiss her lots in order to make this a wholesome story about loving people for the quality of their character and not their physical appereance........

Or tell her to look in the mirror and see if there is anything amiss. Still partail to the otter plan, though.

You look great! If everything feels in order, we should make sure to shave off some fur after this and store it in a secure location, you know uh, just in case.

Thank Beaverly

Just because she's no longer an otter doesn't mean she can escape the puns!

You head back to Grace’s office and suggest making a backup of the folder.

Grace: “That’s a tough one Flynn. How can we back up or copy it, if we can’t open it?”

>>1086709
I am doetermined that you never shall.
>>1086710
Right click, copy, paste?

Get some blank folders and write "Do Not File" on them. It probably won't work but at least you'll have some decoys, saving you from otter defeat.

The copy machine obviously. Dont even need to open the folder. Just put the folder in the copy machine and then copy it!

Only thing we need after is some paste. Got any in the office?

>>1086723
That's a good idea and in no way going to result in disaster when we get the files mixed up ourselves.

>>1086723

Haaang on. That wasnt an otter pun, was it?
Nah.
Couldnt be.
Decoys!
