Emma grunted and put a hand to her forehead. That bump against the top bunk must have been harder than she realized; her whole friggin' face hurt. No, worse than that. Her entire body was burning with pain. Something was wrong with her legs; they couldn't hold her up and she fell to her hands and knees as the pain intensified in her face and lower legs. She pounded the ground with a fist, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth, holding back a scream as her face... pushed out and her legs felt as if they broke. Her body burnt; it was too hot in here. Much too hot. And her nails were puncturing the palm of the hand she had clenched into a fist; she could feel thin trickles of blood running down it.
The pain seemed to pass, but she didn't want to open her eyes; not after hearing some of the things the other people in the room were asking. Most notably the word 'werewolf'. Oh, God... I must look like some kind of freak now... she thought. She knew it had to be her they were talking about. Shortly after the pain had stopped, smells had intensified; she could practically identify where all the people in the room were by scent alone, although she didn't know which one was which. And it was still uncomfortably hot. And her face felt... wrong. It wasn't the same shape and it felt like it had fur on it.
She hauled herself to her feet, using one of the bunks for balance as she got adjusted to her new method of standing. It was... something like high heels, which she had never particularly enjoyed wearing on the few occasions she'd had reason to; not entirely new, but uncomfortable none the less. Finally, she opened her eyes. I need to find a mirror... I need to see what happened to me. That was now her first concern. This strange robed man, with his half-overheard explanation of how this world (which apparently meant her first theory about being abducted by aliens had a lot more credibility than she'd thought) was trying to change her shape to fit it was a close secondary concern; she'd deal with him later.
Find mirror and observe self, then follow the group. (Basically, I just want a complete run-down on what's changed and how. Do I have a muzzle now? Is the fur only on the head and lower legs or is it across the entire body? That sort of thing.) If none is available, follow the group until one is. Try not to feel like too much of a freak.
