mylittlejamjar | Lyra's Monthly Transformation Skit

[Adjusting the "camera", Lyra grinned into it and nickered.] Experiment day, take two.

After perfecting the hands, I have come to the conclusion that I am now ready for a full body transformation! Bolstered with several devices borrowed from various ponies, and a lava lamp acting as a focus, I am ready. Ahem, here we go.

[Clearing her throat, she started to hover over the lava lamp as she turned down the fire fly lamps.]

Though I know I should be wary,
I still venture someplace scary!
Ghostly hauntings I turn loose!
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!

[A powerful wind blew into the rainy evening as it crackled and thundered, but when nothing happened, Lyra pouted and picked up the spell book she had written herself.]

... oh, that was the "Nightmare Night Ghost" spell. All right, lets try this again. Lets see... Disney transformations for dummies. Here we go.

[Horn glowing, a slow ribbon of magic wound around Lyra as she was encased in magic. It was a slow process and the cocoon grew larger and larger! From it, a hand burst free, green in color. Another hand burst free as the body rose into the air and she burst free. The fireflies escaped and a thunderous clap of lightning echoed.]

YES...YESSSSSSSS! I DID IT I DID IT! I...!

[Lyra looked down. Human-like torso, equine features, teats in the wrong place, pony lower half.

She turned herself into a centuar.]

... well... poot. Back to the drawing board. ... at least I have hands.

[And the mint-green centuar began to work on her book again...]

It just takes time to figure out the inputs so to speak.

Just you wait until you have to figure out an entirely different way to balance. I'm kind of glad nobody saw me the first time I tried to walk around looking completely human.

That wouldn't have been fun. I'll bet you wobbled around a lot.

I'm just lucky I didn't go straight from hooves, wings and a tail to human. Learning how to walk with toes and learning how to balance without my wings and tail were bad enough separately.

Yeah. Feet sound complicated at best.

They're weird and soft and long. The extra length took a while to get used to.

I'd imagine so. They seem longer if my new form is any indication of potential.

Well, you saw my feet while I had my humanoid form back. Imagine trying to walk on those without tripping.

Hmm you have a point. At least you were able to move around on them.

That's because I've had a few centuries of practice. I've gotten pretty used to not having hooves by now.

Still hate it when I bump my toes into things, though.

Oooh stubbing a hoof is bad. It hurts.

It's even worse with toes, since they're so soft.

Yeah that would be a problem.

I'm guessing that's why humans wear shoes so often.

Some wear sandals too, right?

Yeah, but those still protect the foot a bit. Keeps it from hurting if you step on a rock or something with splinters.

Ah makes sense. That explains a lot.

Really makes you wonder what the point of having such squishy feet is, huh?

To look adorable. Toes and all, yanno?

Still, you'd think the underside would be a bit tougher...

Well maybe it's supposed to be sensitive in a way that they need coverings.

Doesn't that defeat the point of sensitivity? It'd be like if I covered my wings because they're so sensitive, I wouldn't be able to feel the air currents with them.

Mmm I dunno. Feet are weird honestly.

Didn't I already tell you that?

Eeyup.
