10th Gem [Accidental Visual]

[weaponizedgems]

[When the scroll pops on, it's rather obvious inside the Carousel Boutique. There's the sound of something rustling off screen before a Gardevoir comes into view. This particular female was busying herself with some cloth, holding it up with her... psychic abilities magic to get a better look at the color.

She tilts her head this way and that before reaching out with her hands to feel it and tisking softly. ]

That is definitely not the right shade to go with this color scheme.

[Well, that definitely sounded like Rarity. When she turns slightly, one can see a necklace in the shape of Rarity's cutiemark. Yep, definitely one of the Rarities.

She puts it back and goes on to examine a few other bolts of fabric before finally selecting one.. and then with an interesting use of Magical Leaf, is cutting up some of the fabric.

Well, at least that gives the view an answer of which Rarity is on the scroll.]

[Huh, it's like looking at a mirror, but Coco recognizes that voice.]

Oh my, miss Rarity?

[weaponizedgems]

[Well now. This was rather like a mirror.]

Coco? Is that you darling?

[shyformerassistant]

[At least Coco is still wearing her flowerpin so ponies and pokemon can tell the difference between them.]

Yes, it's me. Are you okay?

[weaponizedgems]

[Between her flower pin, and Rarity's own necklace, hopefully that helps.]

As far as I can tell. However, this is rather... disorienting.

[shyformerassistant]

[It should unless someone was really stupid. Then there's nothing you can do there.]

It is. Took me a while to re-learn how to walk, but at least I had some help with me.

[weaponizedgems]

[Precisely.]

I had to relearn to walk a little myself. It is rather like being on your back hooves for a long period of time. It's tedious to keep your balance like this.

[It was probably her experiences fighting that helped her out the most in that endeavor.]

By any chance, do you know what we are?

[shyformerassistant]

I'm not sure how humans can walk like this all the time.

[Since they walk on two legs too.]

I heard we have turned into something called "Pokey-mon" but I'm not sure what that really means.

[weaponizedgems]

I haven't the faintest idea.

[It was a rather strange balancing act, that was for sure.]

Pokey... mon. I suppose we may need to ask someone.

[shyformerassistant]

Good idea. Maybe it'll help our predicament?

[weaponizedgems]

I do hope so. The question just remains of who exactly we ask.

[sailorlaughter]

Ohmygosh RARITY! You're so tall and pretty! And you've got a horn like right through your chest, does that hurt?

[weaponizedgems]

[She gives a soft sigh.]

Hello Darling. No, the horn through my chest does not hurt in the slightest. It seems to be part of... whatever it is I have been turned into.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Like I turned into cotton candy! And YOU turned into a pretty dress-wearing thing, that's so cool!

[weaponizedgems]

[So that's what Pinkie was... some sort of cotton candy... monster thing.]

I suppose it is. Just don't try to eat yourself Pinkie.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh, I already did THAT! Turns out it doesn't come off all that easy! Which is too bad, really, 'cause I totally would've tried to save some for when I changed back!

[weaponizedgems]

[And somehow, she's not really surprised.]

....Darling, please promise me you wont ever do something like that in front of me. I'd rather not see one of my friends practice self cannibalism.

[sailorlaughter]

It's okay! I think only snakes can REALLY eat themselves!

[squirrelkeys]

[Oh, wow! She looks just like whatever he is, except taller and prettier. Thomas just watches her for a moment or two before realizing that he should probably actually say something.]

Um, did you mean to turn your scroll on, Miss...?

[weaponizedgems]

Hm..? No, I did not. This silly thing just seems to have a mind of its own unfortunately.

[squirrelkeys]

Oh, really?

[There's a slight hesitation before he speaks again.] What are you making? If you don't mind my asking.

[weaponizedgems]

[Rarity held up a length of pale yellow cloth.]

A shawl naturally. Something to drape over my shoulders in this new form.

[Visual]

[therealrisette]

Coco-san?

[The girl on the other end of the scroll looks like a smaller, younger version of what Rarity has turned into. And unlike some ponies, she seems perfectly at home on two legs.

The voice and the necklace don't escape her notice, though, and she looks a little embarrassed when she puts it together. She's never met any of the Rarities (yet), but it's enough to make it clear that it's not who she thought it was.]

Oh... sorry. I think I mistook you for someone else.

[With a sheepish smile, she adds:]

She looks just like you now! Really tall and pretty!

Re: [Visual]

[weaponizedgems]

Oh my, you look simply darling.

[Rarity tilts her head a bit to get a better look at the smaller, and obviously younger version of whatever she may be.]

That's quite alright. I'm not even sure how these creatures tell each other apart. But, I can assure you I am not Coco.

[Visual]

[therealrisette]

Oh... thank you!

[The Kirlia in the scroll scratches at the back of her head, seeming a little embarrassed.]

It's not how I normally look, of course, but I think it's kinda cute!

[And rather fitting, given her age as a pony, that she'd be younger than the others. She's a little envious, though. The Gardevoirs are really pretty and mature looking...]

So... if you're not Coco-san, what's your name? I'm Rise!

Re: [Visual]

[weaponizedgems]

It's a pleasure to meet you Rise, I am Dame Rarity.

[She does a little flourishing bow, because why not?]

Of course, this is not how I normally look either, but I dare say I am getting used to this interesting form.

[Visual]

[therealrisette]

[Rise gives a small, playful giggle at the bow. Since she seems to be in a form suited to it, she offers a curtsy in return.]

It's a pleasure to meet you too, Dame Rarity-san.

[Honorifics and titles... always an odd mix. But she has no idea whether 'Dame' is a title or a name, so she's playing it safe.]

I dunno about everyone else, but I wouldn't mind staying this way for a while. It's a little less weird than being a pony, for me...

[She hopes Rarity won't take offense at that. Since she figures she must have always been a pony.]
