Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Jul 10, 2011 09:36

It had been bad enough to wake up as a pony. Now Topher was realizing that his hooves made it impossible to play video games. Video games. IT WAS KILLING HIM. He stomped around on the controllers, trying to figure out a system, but his tiny character just kept getting blasted with fire that he could have avoided if he had had opposable thumbs, ( Read more... )

"... Really, Fandom? This is what we're going with today?"

Yup, that was Kate's voice. She'd stopped in the doorway to the common room, bare-armed and bare-legged in her morning attire of a... mostly buttoned-up flannel shirt that hung low over her thighs. (She was actually wearing somewhat respectable shorts underneath, but still, sorry, Topher, she had no consideration for other people's possible delicate sensibilities. Not on a Sunday morning.) And she looked distinctly unimpressed.

Topher didn't know what was worse -- the pony thing or the complete violation of his delicate sensibilities.

"Tell me about it," he grumbled. "Stupid controllers."

Yes, because that was what Kate was talking about.

vanillajello July 10 2011, 14:54:59 UTC

"Yeah, that wasn't exactly what I was talking about," Kate replied, shaking her head as she actually entered the room. "... Topher. Right?"

It was hard to figure out voices without the right face. Or species.

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 14:58:03 UTC

And it was hard to figure out voices when he had to crane his neck, like, way up to even see people. It put him on eye level with those tiny, tiny shorts. Ew.

"Yeah," he confirmed. "I could tell you you're Kate, but you know that."

UGH. Why couldn't Fandom just zap everyone at once? That way at least it would be fair.

"I'm a pony!" Yes, Tony. People could see that.

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 15:02:30 UTC

Topher, for his part, feigned shock in as sarcastic a voice as any human could manage.

"OH MY GOD!" he yelled. "YOU ARE? Are you sure?"

hoorayimrich July 10 2011, 15:11:13 UTC

"You're not in any position to be sarcastic about this," Tony decided after a moment. "Horn and wings."

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 15:12:52 UTC

"Yeah, but for future reference? Describing your appearance to people who can see you, not so much of a big surprise."

"What the hell," Ramona greeted everyone, stomping -- for she had hooves -- into the common room. The stairs had been hard, but she needed to find people. Or ponies. "What the everloving hell?"

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 15:34:33 UTC

Topher lifted his head up from where he ha been sulking on the floor.

"Who're you?" he grumbled.

No, the crazy hair didn't tip him off.

dabblinginbitch July 10 2011, 15:35:38 UTC

"Ramona. Why are you so tiny?" she asked. Because that was more relevant than his name.

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 15:37:14 UTC

Hey! Topher searched frantically for a comeback.

"Why do you have a star on your butt?!"

This... was one pony who was really radiating pissed.

"You'd better invent a hoof-to-keyboard thing now," he said. "How am I going to work now?!"

Or maybe 'pissed' was the wrong word. 'Desperate'? 'In the pit of despair'?

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 16:13:42 UTC

"Who cares?!" Topher yelled. He was not feeling very sensitive right now, no. "I'm a pony! Generally accepted as out of the ordinary!"

Then -- wait.

"Peter?"

lockestheway July 10 2011, 16:17:58 UTC

"Yes," Peter said. It was a good thing he didn't have any arms to flail with. "And I care! It doesn't matter what I look like as long as I can type!"

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 16:20:26 UTC

"Tell me about it," Topher complained. "The video games don't work, did you know that?"

YES, TOPHER. HE JUST DIDN'T CARE.

Billy was purple. He had hooves and a mane and he was purple and no amount of his magic was making it go away. So, if he stomped a little extra hard, it couldn't be helped. "What the hell is wrong with this place?" he asked since, thankfully, he didn't seem to be the only one having a problem with dexterity today.

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 16:29:08 UTC

"IT HATES EVERYONE," was Topher's articulate answer. "EVERYONE."

Then he got a glimpse of who he was talking to and snorted in a very pony-ish manner. "Except maybe you most of all, dude," he added. "You're purple."

And he was sensitive. Not.

selfhelphero July 10 2011, 16:32:35 UTC

"Am I really?" Billy asked, before stomping harder. "Thanks, I hadn't noticed. Especially since I didn't do anything wrong. At least, I don't think I did."

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 16:35:54 UTC

"Did you litter?" Topher asked helpfully. "Because that would explain it. Oh, or I've heard if you mess with the TV, it gets back at you."

He looked at the crushed video game controller.

"Oops."
