Let's go with size medium.

[There's even a small curl at the edges of her mouth that could someday grow into a smile. Mostly at thinking about Port as a pony, but you know. She's dealt with Port with no bells to constrain his intellectual fury.]

[nailed_it]

[Port would make a hilarious pony, she'd totally agree there.]

Humans don't exist here. Everyone's either a pony, or a bear, or a dragon, or some other kind of animal like that and if they weren't one to start with, then they're changed into one before they're sent here.

[Well, that doesn't sound so bad...]

And the thing that brought you here and changed you into a horse is some super powerful, nigh-omniscient former pony with a humongous god complex currently living in a nearby pocket dimension or something that's almost impossible to get to and she's keeping everybody here as part of some "experiment".

[Again, said completely straight and with a smile. Except this time her smile is more like the one she might get before she, oh...blows up a nightclub or something and she sounds more like she wants to hit somebody in the face. This will never not make her angry to think about.]

[chanelyouranger]

[Coco remains stoic, but there's some anger to her next words.]

I assume you've tried killing it. Or someone has.

[nailed_it]

I wish. I don't have the magic required to travel to her dimension.

[Yes, she did just say magic.]

And the ones that do seem convinced she's just lonely and needs friends or something.

[At least she's not forcing her enthusiasm anymore. It's just good old-fashioned sarcasm now.

Coco, please tell her she's not the only one who thinks that's completely ridiculous.]

[chanelyouranger]

Alright, so mission two is figure out their magic and use it to go kill a god horse. Why not? How many from Beacon do we have?

[Mission... two?]

Oh, and what's with the off-center horse tramp stamps, anyway?

[nailed_it]

[Why not, indeed. She can get behind a plan like that.]

Four. Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos from Team JNPR and then me and my sister, Ruby. We had both complete teams here for a little while but...not anymore.

[She keeps her tone purposefully neutral there, simply reporting the facts, although Coco's other question gets a snort of amusement out of her.

Give her a second for that "mission two" to actually sink in.]

I've been told they're supposed to represent the special talent of the pony they belong to. Kinda like a Semblance, I guess, just in tattoo form. Only the ponies here get 'em though, and that's after they've figured out their talent.

...Wait, did you say "mission two"?

[There it is.]

[chanelyouranger]

Alright. Any other allies you trust enough to bring along?

[She turns that over in her head a bit.]

So it's an off-center tramp stamp of destiny. Sure, okay.

[She smirks a little.]

Mission one is find where the best clothes are. That's always mission one. [And a rare moment of uncertainly hits her voice TREASURE THIS, FIRST-YEAR] They're not... I don't have to wear a saddle, do I?

[nailed_it]

[Basically everyone she's made friends with is a wuss worrywart who'd tell her this is a terrible idea so...]

None that I can think of off-hand.

[A shrug and a smile.]

Something like that.

[And then she laughs. SHE IS HONORED, COCO.]

Nah. Not unless you're into that kind of thing.

[She ain't gonna judge. ...Also rodeos are apparently a thing here. ...She's not even going to get into how that's supposed to work.

Instead, she grins.]

Mission one's no problem. You can't go wrong with Dame Rarity's boutique. Combat-worthy clothing with style.

[chanelyouranger]

[She nods.]

Just us, then. Got it.

[Annnd she regains her composure.]

Well, I like the sound of that. I should probably figure out a way to get some money first... Ponies do have some kind of pony money, right?

[nailed_it]

Pretty much. Plus Zwei.

[Cuz you better believe they're bringing that dog.

She nods.]

Yeah. They use things called "bits" here instead of lien. They're like actual coins.

[People actually use those still?]

There's a stipend available through the local bank for newcomers though so you won't have to start off with nothing.

[chanelyouranger]

Mm. I'll check into it.

... Zwei?

[nailed_it]

My dad's dog. He was staying with us at Beacon and came here with Ruby.

[...Wait, was keeping a dog at Beacon Academy against the rules? Oh well...]

[chanelyouranger]

And he's still a dog? Not a very small horse?

[The dog gets to stay in its own body??? Rude.]

[nailed_it]

Well, sure. Dogs exist here.

[Because that's sound reasoning right there.]

Just some talk and some don't.

[Have fun figuring out which is which.]
