Virgo Campfire; Saturday Afternoon.

It wouldn't have been a problem if it hadn't been the wings.

Why, why had there been wings? Cal had thought it was bad enough that there was an excessive amount of pink as well as interlocking male-female symbols being advertised on his butt, but then there had to be pretty fairy wings on it, too. Just great. It was definitely a day where he

Alec had been up early enough to miss the morning rush of pony-ness, so returning to his cabin now meant that he was finally getting a good glimpse of Fandom's latest craze.

Stopping by the campfire, he examined the little pony curiously before asking, "Are you a student or a visitor?"

[not_a_mused]

Cal sighed, which, it would seem, worked quite well as a pony. "Student. I'm not usually like this."

The wings fluttered.

"...At all."

[x5_alec]

Alec smirked and sat down, putting himself a little more on a level with the petite pony. "Yeah, I was a goat once," he said. "And a girl. I think Fandom likes to play hell with your sense of identity."

[not_a_mused]

Great, and wasn't that just what Cal needed? He tried his best to ignore the girl part of that. Maybe since he'd already been down that road, he wouldn't have to travel it twice.

"Good thing I'm secure in mine, then," he commented, silently adding the finally. "I'm, uh, Cal, by the way. I have no idea if introducing myself to you right now will do any good, because, hopefully, next time you see me, I won't look anything like this."

"I'm Alec. I'm in this cabin, so if you're not standing here just for your health, that'll narrow it down a bit," he said. "And I assume you'll sound the same, next time."

[[slowplay ftw then! :3]]

[not_a_mused]

"There is that, yeah," Cal agreed. "And, yup, this is my cabin, too. Alcove B1, which I unfortunately discovered is not very comfortable for one with pretty wings."

[x5_alec]

"Alcove A1, and I'll bet," Alec said, eyeing said wings. "Have you tried them out yet?"

[not_a_mused]

"Well..." Cal frowned a little as he looked over his shoulder toward his wings; his long tail flicked as if wanting some attention, too. "They don't exactly look like they're really good for anything except looking pretty..."

"So it's not everyone." Temari huffed, blowing the forelock out of her eyes.

[x5_alec]

"Nope, not everyone," Alec agreed. "Thankfully, considering I've had my turn at having four feet and an urge to graze."

[not_fangirl]

"This has happened before?"

[x5_alec]

"It's always something new here. I turned into a goat once, but it was just me at the time," he explained.

[not_fangirl]

Temari looked him over. "...why a goat?"

[x5_alec]

"Beats me," Alec said, shrugging. "It's pretty random sometimes. Or most of the time. Do you feel especially pony-ish, normally?"

[not_fangirl]

"Not particularly." A beat. "Unless the urge to kick someone into being less stupid counts."

[x5_alec]

"Probably not," he said. "But no way to know for certain. Maybe your true self is just now showing with the help of Fandom." Hey, weirder things had happened.
