Plot Post: Ponies!

This morning, things are going to be... a bit different once again; everyone's memories are restored to normal, but the Manor and the residents will find other changes.

The most obvious thing waking up? Is that the beds are a bit lower and built differently...

And you're now some kind of somewhat small, bright colored equine.

Yep. The Author has picked up My Little Pony. Be afraid.

The good news is that you retain a good bit more range of motion and ability to manipulate objects than you probably should have, with hooves and all; even the non-powered residents can still open cabinets, work kitchen utensils, open doors, etc., although some overly rational people thinking about it too hard might end up hurting their heads.

The more normal types and those without powers will mostly find themselves "Earth Ponies" - in other words, they're "Normal" ponies, albeit with all the odd colors and the rest of it. Some of those with powers and a few without will wake up with wings, as Pegasus ponies; not only can they fly with a great deal of control and maneuverability, and possibly a good bit of speed, they can use wind around them to move clouds and change weather. Pegasus ponies will also find themselves able to walk, sit, stand, and rest on clouds overhead. The rest of those with more blatant powers will wake up with unicorn horns, with their normal powers somewhat converted to magic; it'll still function, and they'll have the added bonus of a bit of telekinesis, enough to do things like write and other fine tasks that the broken cartoon physics wouldn't cover.

Everyone will also have some kind of symbol on their flank/hip - a "cutie mark" that's something symbolic of, or appropriate to them.

The layout of the place itself has changed a little; most of the stairs are now sloped ramps of some kind, with a lot of things a bit more open than usual. Furniture is somewhat simplified as well, although not as much as the more logically-minded would expect - cartoon physics and all. Clothes are optional, and anything signature that does get carried over in the wardrobes will be adapted to their new equine shape; less sleeves and pants, more capes, drapes, collars, and blankets. Any backpacks are now basically saddlebags without the saddle. Most weapons won't be found this week.

The forest has taken to heart its occasions of being a bit dangerous; besides a few remaining dinosaurs, there's cockatrice, manticores, and various plants with strange and occasionally supernatural properties that could be dangerous. Those poking too much around the lake may find a hydra popping its heads out.

The weather will be wobbling between sunny with scattered clouds, to a bit more clouded over and raining.
