dazed and confused

[morphitudinous]

[Hello, scroll network! Here we have a bespectacled blue unicorn colt with a messy blond mane, sporting a classic wrench for a cutie mark.]

I'm assuming that shine means it's active? All right. I'll assume it is. Ah...hello, residents of Ponyville. I'm Billy, and from what I'm hearing I'm one among many unfortunate victims of a mass kidnapping and transformation.

[He's clearly frustrated by this, judging by the way his eyes roll.]

I'm guessing we have a lot of work to do to stop the latest threat and escape from here. So I'd like to offer my services---I'm a decent inventor and mechanic. Or at least I'd like to think I am. I'm still working on manipulating objects with this...form, but I've made progress!

[He precariously balances a wrench on his hoof, and a pile of odds and ends sits beside him. He never thinks to use that there horn.]

And while I'm here...if you have experience with interstellar travel, I'd like to talk to you. It's a personal matter.

...well, no. I'm sorry.

But I'm all right, as long as I take it slowly. I don't think I'll be galloping anywhere for a while.

But those first few falls were brutal.

Well, not with an attitude like that, you're not. But hey, won't stop you if you wanna keep shuffling everywhere you go.

[Just seems like a slow way to move.]

[He nods.]

All right, you're right. It's like learning to ride a bicycle---the painful mistakes just speed up the process, huh?

There are things a lot more painful than falling over. So, yeah, either buck up and deal with it, or work on your career as slowest pony in town.

It's really just a matter of finding your center gravity.

Believe me, I know it gets a lot worse.

[Like dying. Oh, that was fun.]

So I will. Thanks.
