SaDiablo Hall, Dhemlan, Kaeleer, Saturday (Fandom Time)

[glacial_witch]

So, one of the the interesting things about way Kaeleeran time lined up with Fandom's? Weird bouts of Fandom whimsy that usually affected everyone while they were asleep on the island could sweep through and affect its farflung residents at any time

Raven had been turned into a pony before, but somehow this time it had managed to skip her. Or course she felt Karla's shift in emotion and hurried to her side, only to have to bite back giggles.

"Karla, you look adorable," she said.

[glacial_witch]

THIS WAS NOT KARLA-PONY'S ADORABLE FACE.

(Okay, it kinda was, but not by choice.)

"I am a pony," she stated. Flatly. "Why aren't you a pony?!"

[trigons_child]

"Fandom's whimsies sometimes skip some of us," Raven said, still trying hard not to laugh because pony indignation was still adorable indignation. "I suppose I was just lucky this time."

[glacial_witch]

"Why didn't it skip me?!" Karla whined, which came out as more of a disgruntled neigh than anything else. "I want to be skipped! This is hardly fair!"

[trigons_child]

"It would be difficult for me to manage in the library tomorrow when I return to Fandom," Raven mused. "Perhaps the island somehow took pity on me for just that reason. Though I think there is rarely a logic to this sort of thing."

[glacial_witch]

From the way Karla had thrown herself down onto the floor, it could probably be inferred that she wasn't interested in things like 'logic' right now.

"Well, it's difficult for me to manage doing anything right now," she huffed. "I don't see Fandom caring about that."

Karla's life was the haaaardest.

Raven knelt beside Karla and gave her mane a comforting stroke. "At least it will wear off soon," she said. She wasn't considering how time moved differently in Kaeleer, though.

[glacial_witch]

"Yeah, these things are usually only for a--" And, look! Karla just remembered the time difference. "Damn, damn, and double-damn!"

She stomped a hoof angrily against the floor, only to wince when she saw the gouge she left in the wood.

"...Triple damn."

[trigons_child]

"What is the matter?" Raven said, combing her fingers through Karla's mane. She still didn't quite get it yet, but she wanted to calm her down.

At least she wasn't a boy pony?

[glacial_witch]

"How many days pass here while you're in Fandom?" Karla asked, moving from kicking to butting her face into the floor instead. The rug snagging on her horn was probably better than denting the wood, right?

[trigons_child]

Raven tried to catch Karla's face in her hands to stop her from knocking it on the floor. "Oh," she said, frowning. "Time passes more slowly here. You may be stuck in this form for twice as long as normal."

[glacial_witch]

AND THIS WAS WHY KARLA WAS THROWING A PONY TANTRUM.

"I don't wanna be stuck like this for the better part of a week!"

Unless maybe it got her out of morning spars...? Hmm, this possibility deserved closer inspection.

[trigons_child]

"Could you arrange to go visit the unicorns?" Raven said, trying to find some sort of bright side. "They might be interested in seeing you in a form such as theirs, perhaps?"

Only they weren't blue with tramp stamps.

[glacial_witch]

"Maybe," Karla said, not quite willing to give up a good sulk in the face of a good idea. "Still be stuck like this for four days, though."

[trigons_child]

"I know," Raven said sympathetically. "But at least Warren has been transformed the same as you."

Perhaps they could...frolic? Dammit, she was not letting go of that bright side no matter what, Karla!

[glacial_witch]

...Frolic how? Karla and Warren had a very strict 'no banging while we're animals, that's just weird' rule.

It was mostly Warren's idea.

"Hmph" was Karla's only response to that. Because, again, sulky. "Could you scratch my neck? Under my mane? It's itchy and I don't have hands."
