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... )

After spending a fair amount of time working out how to work a doorknob without viable hands -- or even paws, come on! -- Claudia made her way out to the common room.

"Oh good," she said. "It's not just me."

"Sadly, no," Topher agreed. "Stupid island."

He tried to kick the video game controller he'd crushed, but only succeeded in batting it away. UGH.

"At least we're not made of plastic and containing creepy, interchangable parts," Claudia mused.

Lego day had been fascinating, but man, she was glad not to get a repeat.

She headed for the kitchen area, popping up onto her hind legs to nose the cabinet open and pull out a bowl with her mouth. She set it down on the counter, then a box of cereal. Which she managed to drop, spilling cereal everywhere.

"Okay, that wasn't such a great plan."

"Wasn't bad," Topher said. He bent his head down, took a few bites of cereal off the floor, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Better plan than I had, which was to steal a pudding cup from Kate."

Though he hadn't gone through with it, which was probably best for his safety.

"... Huh," Marshall said, looking around. He'd made it this far down the stairs before deciding they were too much work and decided to wander into the common room here instead. "I guess I'm the only one who ended up with sane colours."

Topher noted his blue self and had to agree with that. "Since I'm not normally blue, I can corroborate that hypothesis," he sighed.

Goddamn island.

"Speaking of hypotheses," Marshall asked, "any idea what caused it? I mean, I've had some weird stuff happen to me, but waking up as a pony with wings kinda beats 'em all."

"Island mechanics," Topher answered easily. This was the answer he'd been given numerous times, and it was his favorite one. "Wires got crossed, stuff went haywire, and here we are."

A beat.

"Also? Your wings aren't nearly as bad as mine."

Ponies, ponies, everywhere. Okay, good. Well, not good. But bearable. Scully clip-clopped into the room and looked around, amazed at the variety. "Okay, this is ... still ridiculous."

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 17:44:34 UTC

Topher looked up, caught sight of Scully, and was suddenly gleeful.

"You're Christmas-colored!" he announced. "That's ridiculous!"

That glare hadn't diminished for coming from a pony wearing glasses, for crying out loud. "And a blue flying unicorn isn't?" she snarked back. Then paused. "Actually, you look adorable," she said, thoughtfully.

dollpocalypse July 10 2011, 17:50:59 UTC

Topher, being scared of girls, wrinkled his nose at that.

"First of all," he said, wishing not for the first time that he had the ability to gesticulate using his hands, "I am not flying. Currently. And second of all, you are a pony wearing glasses."

In case she hadn't noticed.
