Exactly what I was coming over here to say. My idea was of one of those "second form matches the team's form" stories, only with some kind of condition that forced transformation sometimes (full moon?) and some pretty horrific consequences that could happen to those psychologically "stuck" between their old team's form and the new one. (You're 100% fucked and probably dead if you're slow to deal and end up transforming into a half-leaf half-whale, but even the easier transitions could suck pretty badly if your body got confused when it was trying to put your organs back where they were before.)
...which all sounds pretty gruesome, but I was thinking more about a story where someone was panicking about not adjusting quickly enough and the crushing psychological pressure of knowing that he could die if he didn't get with the program fast enough, rather than actually detailing any grisly fallout.
