Summary: Starlight Glimmer is making poor life choices. Everyone else gets to suffer now.
The Story:

Maybe you're outside, enjoying the fall weather. Maybe you're in the kitchen, or just wandering the halls. It doesn't matter. As soon as you lay eyes on that purple pony, walking around with a cyan-glowing horn and an insufferably smug look on her face, your world will twist.

Suddenly you're on four hooves, not two feet. You have a mane. Maybe you're lucky enough to have wings, or a horn. You aren't a human now. You're a pony, your special talent emblazoned on your flank to show the world who you are.

But clearly, this is how things have always been, right? Pay no attention to your memories of hands, this is normal now.


[ooc: Feel free to make your own top levels and go wild! See here for ooc plotting. Also here if you want to make a custom pony.]

"Not me. Not like this." She shoves herself out from behind the desk and flips back the curtain, just enough so she can squint outside through her sunglasses. Unfortunately, turning into a pony did not fix her eyes. "You haven't seen Shaun, have you? If he's just flying around like a dumbass...."

[bibliocorn]

Shaun's a pegasus. Of course he's a pegasus. Sunburst glances towards the window.

"...Well, at least he's enjoying himself. I haven't come across him today, though. I just thought I'd check up on you."

[choosetruth]

"Why?" She frowns. Something's off, but she's still having difficulty picking it out. "Were you worried for some reason?"

[bibliocorn]

He really isn't good at this subtlety thing at all. It requires far more skill with others than is really in his reach. He shuffles on his hooves, clearing his throat.

"Well. Um. Some...ponies around here have started to get a little confused. About themselves. I was wondering if something was going on. Wonderland-wise."

That worked a charm, right? He's like a conversation ninja.

[choosetruth]

She frowns, scratching at the ground uncomfortably with a hoof. "There hasn't been an announcement or anything, has there? I would have noticed."

[bibliocorn]

"There hasn't no. Not everyone who normally...isn't a pony has turned into one."

Sweet Celestia this is the worst, he hates all of this.

"Um. Do you ever remember not being a pony?"

[choosetruth]

"You mean… during events? Well, yes, but..." she can remember some events that she was human, but the part that's weird is that she doesn't remember it being weird. She'd think she'd be a little more disturbed, at least in the aftermath. "Do you remember me not being a pony?"

[bibliocorn]

Oh boy she's not going to like this answer at all, he steels himself, ready for any fallout that comes from it.

"I do...actually. You're normally a human. This is...uh. New. The pony thing."

[choosetruth]

She stares for a moment, then scowls, kicking a table leg with her hoof. "God fucking dammit."

He could be fucking with her, but that's not really his style, and she's good at telling when ponies are lying. (When people are lying?) Fucking with her mind, on the other hand, is 100% Wonderland's style, and would explain her weird feelings.

[bibliocorn]

He winces at the table kick. He's not surprised she's taking it poorly. Hell, he took being turned human terribly and he at least remembered being a different species.

"I'm sorry. I...don't think this is an Event, which...probably isn't that helpful. Because ti means someone else is doing this."

[choosetruth]

"Someone from your world, presumably." And presumably not Sunburst, since, well, quite frankly, she's aware he doesn't have that kind of power. "Narrows down the options a lot, huh?"

[bibliocorn]

"It narrows the options down to exactly one."

Because, indeed, he doesn't have that kind of power. Even if he did, he'd of exercised a little caution- like maybe asked people beforehoof. He presses his forehooves to his eyes, pushing his glasses up in the process, groaning softly.

"Star, why are you like this?"

He takes a deep breath, standing up. Okay. Okay.

"Right. I'll...I'll talk to her. Try and um...fix this."

[choosetruth]

"And make it clear that she is not to pull this sort of nonsense again." Never has a pony looked this disgruntled. Georgia shakes her head. "Especially not the part where she messes with my mind."

That's worse than all the body horror in the world. Her mind is what matters to her most.

[bibliocorn]

"I'll do my gosh darn best. But she isn't always guaranteed to actually listen to me."

He just has a marginally better success rate from knowing her for so long. Perhaps if he tried to master the tone of one of Twilight's Friendship Lectures he'd get better results?

"I'm sorry, on her behalf. Err- sit tight, I'll get this sorted out."

[choosetruth]

"Great." Georgia rolls her eyes, sitting back on her haunches. "Guess I'll just stay here until then. Being a horse."

This is the worst day.

[bibliocorn]

"Pony," the correction is automatic at this point. "And it's not so bad. Just...hang tight. Have an oatburger or something and I'll get this fixed as soon as I can."
