honestapples | 2nd Rodeo [Action | Forward-dated to Tuesday morning]

[Luceti, today, there is a blond girl fast asleep underneath an awning, leaning against the wall of the grocery store. The rain doesn't seem to be bothering her - in fact, she's mostly out of the way of it. But there's a cowgirl hat pulled down low over her face, something to hide behind as she dozes on, oblivious to the world.

Eventually, once she either wakes up on her own or is woken up, she'll be staggering around town like a drunk... or possibly a newborn foal. Just two legs is hard, okay? She'll be trying to get her bearings, which will mean trying to find somepony who can tell her what in the world is going on. And she's also really hungry. But food comes after figuring out what's going on and then finding if anyone's been taking care of her dog for her these last two weeks.

She can be found just about anywhere in town, and later on at the farmlands, occasionally grumbling under her breath when she overbalances on these Just Two Legs. Later in the day, her balance will be better and she'll look a little more at home, being bipedal.

And if she's grumbling, it's bound to be something along the lines of:]

How do all the hue-mans do this...?

Rainin'? [She glances past him and... oh. It is raining. And looks like it has been for a while.

What a time to get sent back.]

Well, thank ya kindly for wakin' me up. Don't know how Ah got here, of all places, but Ah reckon that ain't too outta the ordinary 'round here.

You don't know how you got here?

[He blinks, tilting his head.]

Are you a New Feather? But you aren't wearing the normal clothes...

No, Ah got here a couple months ago. But the Malnosso came ta visit 'bout two weeks ago an' carted me off somewhere, an' now Ah'm back.

[She starts trying to sit up... although her attempt to do this is pushing her further back against the wall. Whutonearth.]

...Feelin' kinda funny, ta boot. Maybe Ah've been out here too long.

[... that's funny, he doesn't remember seeing her around before, and he's pretty sure he'd remember a cute girl like her. But he's quickly distracted when she attempts to stand up and immediately offers her a hand.]

Here, let me help you.

Thanks, Ah really appre--

[As she goes to hold out a hoof to accept the help up, she stops, staring blankly at the hand that is there instead of her hoof.

Slight wobble.]

...w-what in tarnation....

Huh?

[Emil blinks, not quite catching on as to what's wrong. He can't see anything out of the ordinary with this situation.]

... is something wrong?

T-that... wh-where's... that ain't my hoof!

[Yeah, totally horrified here. She's looking at the rest of her arm, trying to twist around like she'd normally be able to so that she can see the rest of herself, but no go.]

Your hoof? What are you talking about?

[Is that some kind of strange slang term for hand or something? Emil doesn't get it.]

It's... it's... [She flails the hand a little bit.] This's supposed ta be a hoof!

[brb, looking over self and looking almost like she might faint.]

What happened ta me?

So... you mean you aren't normally a human? Somehow even that kind of thing doesn't surprise me anymore. Maybe I really have been in Luceti for too long...

No, Ah'm supposed ta be a pony.

[This is horrible. ;_;]

Does this kinda thing happen a lot?

[The gears in his head are turning...]

... a pony? Wait, you mean like Princess Luna and Rainbow Dash?

Just like them! Dash's one of my best friends and Princess Luna... well, she's one of the two main mares back home.

[Sudden realization.]

I'm sorry, I never even told you my name. I'm Emil.

It's nice t'meetcha, Emil. Even if Ah'm... not really myself right now. Ah'm Applejack.

Oh no, it's okay... you, um... you look just fine the way you are right now, really.

[He's physically a teenage boy, okay.]

[Sheepish chuckle.] Well... thank ya kindly. Ah feel like Ah look real funny.

[How does Big Mac do this Being Tall thing.]

It's probably just because you aren't used to looking like this. But you make a really pretty human.

[She is. Really not sure how to take that. Is that a compliment or something she should give him a weird look over?

Blank stare it is.] Uh... thanks. S'real nice of ya ta say so. But Ah... Ah really gotta find a way ta get back ta how Ah'm supposed ta look.

[... oh. Maybe that was the wrong thing to say after all. WHY ARE GIRLS SO WEIRD?]

I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to flirt with you or anything...
