Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

It had been bad enough to wake up as a pony. Now Topher was realizing that his hooves made it impossible to play video games. Video games. IT WAS KILLING HIM. He stomped around on the controllers, trying to figure out a system, but his tiny character just kept getting blasted with fire that he could have avoided if he had had opposable thumbs, damnit.

Stupid controller.

Then it cracked under his hooves. Frustrated, Topher flopped down on the ground in front of the TV. This sucked.

"... Really, Fandom? This is what we're going with today?"

Yup, that was Kate's voice. She'd stopped in the doorway to the common room, bare-armed and bare-legged in her morning attire of a... mostly buttoned-up flannel shirt that hung low over her thighs. (She was actually wearing somewhat respectable shorts underneath, but still, sorry, Topher, she had no consideration for other people's possible delicate sensibilities. Not on a Sunday morning.) And she looked distinctly unimpressed.

Topher didn't know what was worse -- the pony thing or the complete violation of his delicate sensibilities.

"Tell me about it," he grumbled. "Stupid controllers."

Yes, because that was what Kate was talking about.

"Yeah, that wasn't exactly what I was talking about," Kate replied, shaking her head as she actually entered the room. "... Topher. Right?"

It was hard to figure out voices without the right face. Or species.

And it was hard to figure out voices when he had to crane his neck, like, way up to even see people. It put him on eye level with those tiny, tiny shorts. Ew.

"Yeah," he confirmed. "I could tell you you're Kate, but you know that."

UGH. Why couldn't Fandom just zap everyone at once? That way at least it would be fair.

Hey, those tiny shorts were just about the best clothing thing ever. He could ask anyone! ... Well, he could ask Bod, anyway.

"That'd be me," she said flippantly, making her way towards the kitchen area now. "What are you, even? A pony?"

"A pony with wings," he growled. "And a horn."

It was basic math, Topher. Put them together.

"Guess I'm a unicorn."

This was not a happy face.

"Sucks." That was vaguely sympathetic. Vaguely. "Well, it'll probably be over by tomorrow."

"Maybe," he said darkly. "Aren't these things supposed to happen on Saturdays and last the weekend? Now the scheduling's all off."

Kate shrugged, then peered nto the fridge. "Well, any weird stuff like this generally doesn't last more than a few days, if it's not something that's just happening to one person."

"So unfair," Ramona announced, staring at Kate. "Why did you get skipped?"

"Because the island loves me." Or because it didn't want to be the final straw in breaking her. Or because she was due for a cat transformation soon. One of those. "I don't know, I think it's pretty random."

"There is nothing random about the fact that I'm a pony with a star on my ass," Ramona said, stomping a hoof.

Kate quirked an eyebrow. "Would you like to maybe reconsider that statement?" she wondered. "'Cause to me, everything about that is random. Except maybe if that star's usually there too."

"Yeah, no, it's not," Ramona said, sulking a bit, "but I can't just be a victim of chance, here!"

"Ramona, you live in Fandom," Kate replied, shaking her head. "All you are is a victim of chance."

"You're not," she pointed out. "I never luck out and get...not randomly screwed over. I was a chick like three weeks ago. And I was a child. And I turned old. I never get skipped."

"And I was a vampire for a weekend," Kate retorted, raising an eyebrow. "You'll get skipped eventually."

"How did you escape this?" Scully asked, dismayed.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Kate wondered of the... pony she didn't recognize. (Which was probably for the best because the last time she'd seen Scully it hadn't exactly gone well. With the fangs and the gun and all.) "It's random. I didn't do anything to cause it."

Scully clip-clopped over to sniff Kate before she realized she was going to do that, then rolled her eyes at herself. "My instincts are all messed up." She gave Kate a thoughtful look. "You're all human, though." And not a vampire, or any shade of dead.

Kate snorted. "I generally am, yeah." Certain weekends excluded. "I seem to be about the only one, too."

"So not fair." Although also a relief. Mention that, or don't... well. It would probably be less awkward while Scully was a pony. "I'm glad you aren't still a vampire. Maybe this is payback for you."

... Oh. Yeah, this was still going to be a bit awkward, judging from how Kate seemed to go a little more tense and straighten up some.

"Scully?"

Of course it was. Not that Kate had been avoiding her, she'd just been... guiltily glad to not have run into her.

A rueful face on a pony is a funny thing. And Scully hadn't been avoiding Kate either.

Okay. Maybe a little. She'd heard Kate was human on the Radio, but it was one thing to hear it, another to believe it.

"Hi. Yes." Sorry about trying to shoot you? "I heard you were okay, later."

"It was just a weekend thing," Kate replied, shrugging a little awkwardly, her lips twisting a bit. "Sorry about... You know. Being a psycho vampire. Not that it was my fault."
