Second trick

[cleverkit]

[Hey, look! It's another little pony! And she's looking mildly panicked for some reason.]

I just want to make one thing perfectly clear: whatever caused this, I didn't do it!

[Beat.]

...Sorry, force of habit. Just go ahead and ignore that, okay?

Anyway, this is... new. Learning to walk on all fours is definitely gonna take some getting used to.

I take it this is the sort of crazy weird stuff that tends to happen around here?

[And Mike is also a pony, although in his case, he's blue with a short blond mane, and his cutie mark is...a bowl of rice.]

It is, although I gotta say, even for here this is pret-ty dang weird.

[cleverkit]

Huh. Well, at least it's harmless. Mostly.

[She seems to be adjusting to the change pretty easily. No sense in freaking out when that won't affect anything, and all.]

[itsjustamike]

Harmless except for the whole...no opposable thumbs thing. And are we all automatically vegetarians now?

[cleverkit]

Yeah, that is kind of annoying. And I have no idea, but I'm gonna go down to the cafeteria and find out!

[itsjustamike]

You'll have to let me know how that goes. Because I really don't want to be chowing down on grass or carrots while this is going on. It seems kind of...ick.

[cleverkit]

Will do! ...Once I've gotten used to walking enough to make it there without falling down the stairs, that is.

[itsjustamike]

Yikes. Good luck with that one!

[cleverkit]

Thanks. I should have it figured out before too long, though! Keep your fingers cross--oh, wait...

[itsjustamike]

Hooves crossed, I guess?

[Mike tries to attempt this...and falls over.]

[cleverkit]

[Wince.] You okay?

Maybe we should just draw an X on the ground with a hoof instead. That might be safer.

[itsjustamike]

Yeeeup. Just a whole field of awkward, there.

...That works. [He does just that.]

[cleverkit]

If you say so.

[And Kit does the same thing.]

[acceptedburden]

Yes. Unfortunately.

[cleverkit]

[Awkward little pony shrug.]

Well, it could be worse. We could be magical talking seahorses instead! Then we'd just be flopping around everywhere.

[acceptedburden]

[He quirks an eyebrow]

I suppose we would have to make use of the pool more extensively if that were the case.

[cleverkit]

Think there'd be enough room for us all?

[acceptedburden]

Well, the pool is rather large though I am not sure it is made to hold a herd of seaponies.

[cleverkit]

Maybe if we flooded one of the decks, then there's be enough room for a whole bunch of seaponies!

[acceptedburden]

Well, thankfully we do not have to worry about that...yet.

[He can only imagine what sort of things will happen in the future]

[cleverkit]

At least we'll be prepared and know what to do in case that does happen!
