First Keg: Where did you come from, where do you go?

[mistweaver]

Well, to judge, she came from the sky, and now, Jou Shan Aleflower is up in a tree, more than a few dozen feet off the ground. Sadly, this was not how she'd expected to arrive anywhere. Much less...where she was now. It didn't look like anywhere she'd been in Azeroth...

"Come on, Jou. You climbed higher trees as a cub...then again, I had paws," she groused, taking a look at the hooves that now ended her feet. "Not a zhevra's hooves!"

Still, grousing was not about to get her down, and her dangling was drawing something of a crowd.

"Put your belly in it, girl!" she encouraged herself, before with some straining and grunting, Jou Shan got herself up and balanced on the branch she had landed on.

Now, to try to get down...preferably in one piece!

"Most newponies find it strange
And cannot explain their change," Zecora said, watching her jump down. She wasn't quite certain she'd ever seen a zebra bounce before.
"Neither can I say.
But it is the way."

"Well, forgive me if I offend," said Jou. "I certainly didn't ask for this. Still, I must do my best, if I am stuck here."

She shrugged a bit. "I am Jou Shan Aleflower, former Pandaren, monk, and healer, at your service."

"Zecora is my name.
I have no particular fame
Except my striped fur --
That you share for sure." Zecora had a much better view now, and she could confidently say yes, this newpony had indeed taken on zebra form. Interesting and curious, since few if any had done so up till now.

"True indeed. Though perhaps it was because I had fur originally? Though it was not striped, more splotchy. I think it a bit odd, because certainly there are splotchy ponies..."

Jou shrugged at that. "This world is strange to me, so I suppose there was a method to the madness."

"If there is one, we cannot discern
Its nature, no matter how we yearn," Zecora said, shaking her head in frustration. If only they DID understand what led newponies to change in the ways they did.
