What this would mean was that, whatever they looked like, everybody infected was of the same species, a slightly more (or less depending on your opinion) evolved form of human being. So whether the "furry" in question, as they were becoming, appeared to be a cat, dog, fish, bird, butterfly, whatever, they would retain the same basic structure and be easily compatiable with all the other furries...on a physical mating level at least.
Because of the instability, however, it wasn't having the instant transformation that the Marid had envisioned. Which was why Misato found herself staring in the mirror.
"I think there's something weird about them," Misato said, investigating herself in the mirror.
More specifically, she was investigating her ears. She was correct, they were different, but the difference was very slight and most people were by now used to Misato occasionally having some minor hallucination brought on by either early morning hangover or late night binge.
"Whatever, Misato," Asuka said, without even looking back at her guardian.
She was changing herself, as was Shinji, but the condition hadn't quite reached the point that it had with Misato. This was partially because of the alcohol that Misato tended to imbibe. The infection was having a dandy time traipsing through her body and had already laid roots far too deeply to be beaten by her much weakened immune system.
"They're pointed!" Misato complained. "Aaah!! What is going on with my teeth?"
"When was your last dentist's appointment Kusanagi-san?" Shinji asked.
"Look, Major Alcohol High," Asuka said blithely, drawing a growl from Misato, it sounded quite a bit more animalistic than usual, but the two pilots waved that off. "We gotta get to school now, or we'll be late, so we'll see you later then?"
"I'll get you for that Asuka," Misato promised. "And believe me when I say that."
"Yeah, yeah," Asuka said as she walked out the door. "Are you coming Shinji?"
"Huh?" Shinji said. "Oh, right, right behind you!"
The two left Misato behind to her "hallucinatory" worries.
