player plot: this is what you get for the whole l'il sebastian debacle

[truefriendship]

So you know what's generally not a great idea? Telling a somewhat unstable and extremely magically powerful pony that she should make people accept her rather than just getting used to the awkward "so you can talk" conversations. Which is to say, congrats, you're getting a mini player plot, and it's at least partially Kol's fault. And Starlight's, of course. Because why would she ever learn from her mistakes when she can make even more mistakes?



Starlight's solution, of course, is that ponies should be the new normal so people don't question her (and Sunburst) for being what they are. What this means is that anyone who crosses her path this weekend is going to find themselves unceremoniously transformed into a pony. To their memory, they'll have always been a pony, and nothing will seem unusual about this. Congrats, you're a Pegasus, Earth Pony, or Unicorn. You've got a pretty colorful mane and a cutie mark on your butt that signifies your special talent.

Of course, this is a very large, blunt spell so there are holes. If your character can remember, say, playing basketball or otherwise doing hand-intensive activities, they might realize something's up. Or if they talk to someone who hasn't been transformed. The spell is also limited range to whatever room Starlight's in, so it's pretty easy to avoid if you would like to not turn your character into a pony.

At the end of the weekend, someone (Sunburst) will be like wtf Starlight you can't just turn people into ponies because they're being rude about you not being human and she'll turn everyone back to normal.

I'll be putting up an open group log on Friday and Saturday! People are welcome to top level and tag around etc etc. Feel free to use this post for plotting, and I'll put up a thread for questions!
