[Bambi is sat in the window of his room in the Parkor Estate, knees drawn up, and he balances the seal between them as he starts talking.]

So wishin' ain't workin' right now, right? Is it gettin' rid of old wishes, too? Cause the girl thing went away, right before it all got dark.

[Which he was very glad of, but he hadn't managed to fix it

[ Okay, he has to ask. ]

...What, did you wish to be a girl?

[mumdies]

Ain't sure, don't remember what I wished.

[But he's pretty sure it wasn't just to be a girl.]

Just turned me an' Tink into girls.

[howkickassiam]

...Huh. That sort of thing normal or something?

[mumdies]

No one's turned into girls before. But wishes go wrong all the time. Wings an' stuff. Tink turned himself into a dog, once.

[ Yeah, Wash wishing for clean clothes and ending up in pink ones is pretty much proof of that. ]

Don't suppose anyone's tried wishing for their wishes to never go wrong?

[mumdies]

Don't think so.

[Thinking, thinking... nope, pretty sure he hasn't heard of anyone doing it before.]

That's a good idea.

Seems like you'd have to word it super specific like you're talking to a lawyer or something, but huh. Worth a shot, I guess.

I guess if you don't want to go back to being a girl, just wish that you don't when the light comes back?

[mumdies]

Yeah, got to be real careful with the words. Might end up you can't wish anythin' at all.

[Bambi is very good at thinking of all the ways a wish can go wrong.]

But wishes ain't workin' right now. An' nothin' I was wishin' before was undoin' it.

[howkickassiam]

Which wouldn't be so bad, I guess. Most of us had that happen before anyway. Not like everyone came from a world where wishing was common.

You try and have someone or a few people wish you back to normal?

video;

[mumdies]

Guess so. I ain't meant to be wishin' so much anyway, Rabe don't like that he don't know where it comes from.

[And a dumb dog moment, because that is a very good idea, and it did not occur to him.]

No. Didn't try that one.

'nother friend of yours?

[ shrugs! ]

Just in case it happens again, lemme know and we'll see what we can do.
