Glistening

Glistening is the process through which a living organic organism, typically a biogel clad sapient individual, is completely, bodily transformed into a gummy. Glistening occurs on its own when the biogel's conversion of its host's body wastes cascades out of control, subsuming her entire body in the process. This cascade is most commonly caused by the failure of the host to follow proper waste mass filtering procedures, though it can be deliberately triggered by external sources as well.

The first indicator of glistening which a biogel host typically experiences is the unexpected activation of the biogel's protective mechanism. The suit will liquefy around her neck and spread over her head while her body begins to feel strange and fluid. The wave of transformation immediately follows the closure of the biogel around her head, taking only 2-3 seconds to completely subsume her body.

An individual will remain fully conscious throughout the entire glistening process, and will not suffer any deleterious mental effects as a result of its action on her physical form. Full consciousness fades over about 10 minutes after the physical transformation completes, leaving her in a dreamy, semi-conscious state that is only disturbed by motion and/or a rise in temperature.

Glistening is permanent, and its effects cannot be reversed, though the body shape may be altered via reprocessing.
