The Deck; Saturday Morning [11/14].

[howareyanow]

There was a lot that could (and would!) be said about this weekend's particular brand of tom fuckery, but there was one thing that Wayne knew fer sure, and that was that ponies, no matter how much they were usually humans or humanoid, didn't belong indoors! Not unless that indoors was a barn, the case of which the dorms were definitely not, so after some well-to-do with the door and a bit of careful awkwardness with the stairs, Wayne finally made it outside, into the open air, and instantly felt better about it.

He s'posed it was a silly thing, to be concerned about, considering he was just as much himself as usual, only in pony form, but it just made him feel a little bit better that if the proper order of what body he was inhabitin' couldn't be in order, at least a simple fact like no ponies indoors could be, and that was that.

Although now he was sort of just squinting out over the landscape wondering just what one did with their newfound pony-ness in general...Mebbe go for a little trot. Go lookin' fer a little hay, or, if he was lucky...some barleh....

"Well, this is stupid," Sabine said, landing lightly on the deck.

It was stupid, but if you have wings, use them.

[howareyanow]

Wayne squinted a little at the newly arrived pony, figgurin' what he had to go on based on voice and...colors alone.

"Sabine?" he guessed, but the next part came with more confidence, and a nod. "Howvare ya now?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'm a pony, Wayne," Sabine said simply.

He could infer some things from there.

[howareyanow]

"Can confirm," said Wayne, after taking a moment to look Sabine over again as if to verify this fact.

Then his gaze went back to squinting toward the horizon.

"I know the feelin'."

Unfortunateleh...

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"It's temporary," Sabine said, partly as a reminder to herself. "And it's going to make for some very interesting drawings later."

[howareyanow]

"You going to try drawing with hooves?" Wayne asked, brow furrowing. "Or with the pencil in yer mouth? Something like that?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Once I have hands again." She paused. "Though I could get some interesting art out of this."

Like how her bird footprints were all over her room on the Ghost.

[unusual_sith]

"Sabine. You got wings?" Lana was only a little jealous. Her mane and tail were lightning-y and she had a horn, so at least she was dangerous, but flying would have been fun.

"It is incredibly stupid, though, yes," she admitted.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"You got a horn," Sabine pointed out, smiling.

[unusual_sith]

"Yes, well, I'm not certain how much good it'll do," Lana said, smiling back. "What's it like, flying under your own power?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"It's better than when I'm a bird, and I wouldn't mind keeping the wings maybe, but I'd rather have thumbs," Sabine said thoughtfully.

[unusual_sith]

Lana laughed ruefully. "Yes, thumbs would definitely be preferable. I don't know how you're managing, honestly. I had to use the Force just to get out of my room."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"A little trial and error, a little rearing back so I could get the door with two hooves at once," Sabine said, casually. "I hate that I had to say that sentence."

[unusual_sith]

"This island makes a habit of getting me to say things I'm sorry about," Lana answered, rolling her eyes. "At least this one seems relatively harmless, just annoying."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"We can definitely handle this," Sabine said. "And I'm drawing all of it once I have hands again."

[unusual_sith]

"What, no hoof-paintings?" Lana teased. Sabine could probably make even that look good, but she imagined the mess would be legendary.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'm sure I can work something out," Sabine said. "It's slightly harder to use my preferred medium without hands, but we'll see."

[unusual_sith]

"I'll help however I can," Lana promised, "even if it's just opening paints."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I would actually love to see that," Sabine told her, picturing it in her head.

[Apparently didn't hit post!

[unusual_sith]

"I can do that for you any time you like," Lana said. "Although my hands don't generally glow when I use the Force like this horn does."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Wait, seriously?"

Well now you were getting drawn with a glowing horn, Lana. Had to happen.

[unusual_sith]

Lana laughed and rolled her eyes. "All right, yes." She found a rock a little way off and focused on it. Her horn glowed as she raised it up. "Satisfied?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I love this so much," Sabine said, laughing. "And I'm a little disappointed now that I don't glow."

[unusual_sith]

"You fly, I glow," Lana said. "I definitely think you've won. Although if we take the glowing to equal using the Force, then I think I'll keep mine. Hm."

She thought about it for a minute, then closed her eyes, focused, and levitated herself. "Not sure how long I could keep this up, though," she murmured.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Depends on how long you wanted to show off," Sabine said, but she appreciated it.

[unusual_sith]

"Basically," Lana agreed, setting back down. "I certainly couldn't fly myself around. On the whole, though, this isn't a terrible thing to happen for a weekend."

[bookbeltof_love]

"AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah, Nina didn't think that was stupid as she twirled down in a flutter.

Guess who she was. Go on, guess.

[howareyanow]

Welp, now. That was a real head-scratcher, wasn't it?

"Nina." It.was.almost as if Wayne made it even more stoic and mumbling to balance things out. "How.are ya now?"

[bookbeltof_love]

"I'm fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!" she enthused, prancing over to him, the better to inspect his cutie mark. "Ohmygosh, is that a tiny tractor???????????????

"And how are you, Wayne????????????"

[howareyanow]

"Ohhhh," Wayne drawled with dedication, "not so bad..."

There was a pause. And a squint.

"'Cept maybe the horse thing."

If he was being honest.

[unusual_sith]

And trotting out of the dorm next would be a grey unicorn pony with purple and white...well...lightning-looking mane and tail. She nodded at him.

"Wayne. Good morning." At least everyone felt the same in the Force. Albeit a bit more annoyed today.

[howareyanow]

Wayne nodded back, pretty sure that was Lana, far as he could tell, but, jus' in case it wasn't , he kept it at a safe, simple, "How are ya now?"

[unusual_sith]

"I'm well, thank you, apart from being a rather odd shape this morning. And you?" she asked politely, because she was never quite going to get it right for Wayne.

[howareyanow]

Very few people did, but he s'posed he could let it slide a little bit more this time, on account of them all bein' ponies and whatnot. Especially when it ended with the important part.

"Ohhhh," he drawled dutifully, after a small shake of his head for all that additional information he was given. "Not so bad..."

And, in an echo of what he'd said to Nina earlier, which seemed pretty much a circumstantial addition for this particular day:

"'Cept mebbe the horse thing."

Although that sort of went without sayin', too.

[unusual_sith]

"The horse thing," Lana agreed. "I could do without that, though it's hardly the worst thing the island's thrown at us. And hopefully it'll only be the weekend."
