THE SPECIES SWAP MEME

Waking up as a pony is one thing, but Equestria is a weird place. I mean, remember that Pokemon event? Weird, right? Same idea, only less Nintendo involved. Your character has woken up as something else!

How to play:
✩Post with your character, they're now a different species than they normally are around these parts. Remember to include what they are in your comment!

✩Reply to others for shenanigans! Replying characters don't have to be changed if you don't want them to be, magic is weird like that.

✩Remember to stick to things found in Equestria!

✩I love you

Instincts don't change jack about whether I wanna roll in the mud or not.

[Though, that being said...he's sure done a lot of that since being a pig.]

Yeah, I do. Teddie was freaking out about it. It was pretty funny.

[kuukai]

Sure they do. [ Grin grin. ]

[ Sudden scowl. ] Hey. Wasn', I really worried him. Not proud o' that.

[ceasetoexist]

You ought to be.

Don't worry about it. He's gonna be scared about all kinds of stupid crap. ...You'll probably be there when he actually has a reason to be scared of something.

[kuukai]

Ngh. I better be. ... otherwise there's no point ta me bein' a magical girl.

[ceasetoexist]

...He means that much to you, huh?

[kuukai]

He's what I fight for. Who I live for.

[ Possibly coming on too strong? Kyouko needs a reason to keep going, after all. A reason to be a magical girl, to be better than she thinks she is. Despite the outward ego. ]

[ceasetoexist]

[Pokey can empathize with that too well. He needs to too, he feels he needs to, for everyone he knows, cares about, occasionally loves back in Mayfield. Without them, he's just the clone of a murderous egomaniac stuck as an eternal child, a digital copy that'll eventually fade out and die like the rest of Mayfield.

Without them, who is he, but a copy of a genuine monster?

He's just quiet for a moment. He pretends to be distracted, piggy nose just snorting and snuffling through the grass.]

...You'll be fine. You both'll be.

You're alright, bear.

[She's a good person, not like him. He feels kind of bad that she doesn't seem to realize that.]

[kuukai]

I guess.

[ She looks away awkwardly, thinking she's given away too much. Then the grin comes back. ]

Yer alright too. Ya know. For a pig.

[ She gets up. ] C'mon. Let's get ya somethin' ta eat.

[ceasetoexist]

Uh, I'm not your pet.

[Pokey Minch: easily and quickly taking offense to whatever might be said to him. Especially after touchy feely crap.]

I'm a pig. I can find my own food. They're experts and finding truffles and crap, right? Matter of fact I could find food for you. But, uh...

It'll cost you.

[kuukai]

Food from a pig? S'prob'ly slop! Why should I get food from you?

[ceasetoexist]

Do you not know what truffles are? They're a delicacy! People pay thousands for them!

But hey friggin' potato chips crunched up in a bowl with sour cream and hot cheese is probably a delicacy to you.

[Savage. You should have more refined tastes, like Pokey. He enjoys the good things in life.

Truth be told, he enjoys all food in life. But the delicacies especially.]

[kuukai]

... 'm'listenin'.

[ She wouldn't waste any food, to be fair; she might have eaten whatever he offered her. But she does know what truffles are. ]

[ceasetoexist]

Uh, what is there to say. I'm a pig. Pigs can find truffles. Truffles are worth a ton of money.

Do you see what I'm saying now?

[kuukai]

Well, I don' got a ton o' money.

[ She spends most of it on food. ] So whaddya want?

[ceasetoexist]

We get the truffles, sell them for a lot of money, and buy whatever food we want with that!

[He says that partly with exhilaration, partly with annoyance that Kyouko isn't following his pattern of logic, though it's not like he made it particularly easy considering he was talking about leading her to food before.]

It's genius. C'mon. You can buy, like, a bouncy ball or some shiny shrinkwrap to keep Teddie amused too or something. He'll love it and you forever if you give him that.

[kuukai]

Ya kiddin'? Tha's the kid who sold his own snot when he was a Pokemon. We're in.
