Lyra's Monthly Transformation Skit

[humanesqueheartstrings]

[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...]

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.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Yeah. Feet sound complicated at best.

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

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

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

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

[superstylishsquid]

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.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Oooh stubbing a hoof is bad. It hurts.

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Yeah that would be a problem.

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Some wear sandals too, right?

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Ah makes sense. That explains a lot.

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

To look adorable. Toes and all, yanno?

[superstylishsquid]

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

[humanesqueheartstrings]

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

[superstylishsquid]

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.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Mmm I dunno. Feet are weird honestly.

[superstylishsquid]

Didn't I already tell you that?

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Eeyup.

[superstylishsquid]

So it looks like we've reached a conclusion.
