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.

[A Lapis wing that doesn't pelt her with drops of water when she extends it over her- what a concept! Peridot is at least over the constant glee tat comes from any expression of unprompted affection from Lapis- it's normal now. So normal that she accepts it for what it is- a tender gesture that can only happen in this moment. She'll never be Steven. Her logic and rationality will never give her the ability to see the best in situations, but sometimes the math works. In this case, the math is that pony bodies are surprisingly good for cuddling.]

I never thought I'd say that about an event that changes your form, but you're right. It could be so much worse. There could be monsters.

[They seriously are. Surprisingly good for cuddling. Like... look. Physical affection isn't natively familiar to gems, so Lapis and Peridot have had to learn it, and that's under normal circumstances. In bodies that aren't quite right, with the both of them already skeeved out about it, such physicality ought to only underscore the weirdness. They may cling together for reassurance, but it shouldn't be enjoyable in itself.

Well, 'enjoy' is a strong word by Lapis's standards. Maybe it's just that after all that annoyance, anything more soothing is welcome; also, it's always possible the brainwashing magic is a factor. And it is true and genuinely worth remembering that they AREN'T in any immediate danger for once. In any case, so help her, this is already doing more to improve her mood than it has any right to, and that's also a fairly noteworthy phenomenon by Lapis standards.]

If this actually was an event, you'd be giving it ideas now.

[slapfight]

The simulation reads minds and will respond to whatever we think, regardless. It's already full of ideas. [Peridot snorts and it comes out as a kind of whinny, which surprises her so much she goes rigid for a second... and then relaxes. Only soft pony cuddles now. No reacting to the weirdness that is pony bodies.] And I hope whoever caused this is aware that they've been spared death by a brutal combination of metal and water just for it being inconvenient instead of awful.

[Shoosh, only cuddles. The wing over Peridot stretches out and snugs more firmly against her as if to pull her closer, although in reality it's not particularly large or strong and probably can't accomplish much. It's more just a nudge.]

We'll let them know. I'm sure it'll be very intimidating.

[Sarcastic enough even for Peridot, because there's simply no getting around the fact that they are adorable.]
