mustbeawitch

Did Lydia know what an Oktoberfest was or that she was slightly early for the celebration of same? Not at all. She did know that they hadn't tried German food yet in the Supper Club, she wasn't a pony, and she had swapped over to one of her fall dresses. She was feeling rather positive about this whole experience and hoped nothing would happen to spoil it, such as suddenly not having thumbs again.

Surely not. They weren't even on the island.

Still, now that she had thought of it, she would fret. Thanks, Mrs. Bennet's DNA.

Hooray for thumbs!

From:

Thumbs!!

"Good to see people as human again," Rey greeted when she got there.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Yes, it is most preferable, isn't it?" Lydia asked. "Kitty always said we didn't appreciate them enough, and I've been a cat before myself, but now I find myself with an even greater appreciation of the truth of her word."

From:

thatwaslucky

"Agreed," Rey said. "I can't say trying to drink anything as a pony is the most dignified thing I've ever do e."

Sure, she could use the Force to get around the hands thing but it looked ridiculous.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Do you know, I briefly considered trying to drink from the pond?" Lydia asked her in a low voice. "It's what horses do, after all, so I thought it might work better. But then I came to my senses and remembered it was a pond."

From:

thatwaslucky

Rey nodded. "Great choice. I didn't love even blowing bubbles there in class."

Look at her, developing standards.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Yes, that was horrid," Lydia agreed. "I believe a fish touched my leg."

From:

thatwaslucky

"I think they'll do that. You are in their home." Probably. She didn't know about fish.

From:

mustbeawitch

"They should know I don't want to be there," Lydia argued, as if that made any sense at all. What were the fish now, telepathic?

Then again, this was Fandom...

From:

thatwaslucky

A pause.

"...How?"

From:

mustbeawitch

"I'm sure I don't know," Lydia admitted. "Far be it from me to understand the inner workings of the mind of a fish. They're so...fishy." Eugh.

From:

thatwaslucky

"But you still eat them, right?" Rey checked.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Of course," Lydia said. "They're dead and cooked then. That's how you're supposed to interact with fish."

From:

thatwaslucky

"I have to say, I didn't expect a conversation about live fish tonight," Rey said with a smile.

From:

mustbeawitch

"I believe it started with ponds," Lydia said. "Ah, well. We can talk about something else. How have you been since recovering your hands?"

From:

thatwaslucky

"Good. Though there were still some weird days at the end and I'm still picking glitter out of everything," Rey admitted. "At least being sparkly should be a good ice breaker for dates. You?"

From:

mustbeawitch

"Oh, yes the dates!" Lydia exclaimed. "I'm quite looking forward to it. It's always fun to get a chance to chat with some new people...and I, too, must admit I am still finding glitter everywhere I look. It's quite festive, but it doesn't go with all of my clothes, you know."

From:

thatwaslucky

Glitter was a neutral.

"That does make it sound a little like an accessory," she admitted.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Well, isn't it? On the same range as cosmetics and such." Some of which contained glitter!

From:

thatwaslucky

"I do tend to put cosmetics on on purpose, though," she said.

From:

mustbeawitch

"That's true," Lydia agreed. "I suppose it's like...bonus cosmetics? That are everywhere." On everything.

From:

thatwaslucky

"Forever," Rey added.

From:

mustbeawitch

"I'm sure it will go away eventually," Lydia said, as one unused to glitter might.

From:

"Good evening," Flint said, striding into the restaurant using two legs and not four. Bliss.

From:

mustbeawitch

It really did make one appreciate the simple things in life, didn't it?

"Captain Flint! Good evening, sir." Did you still have an island stamped on your butt? Inquiring minds wanted to know.

From:

fears_no_one

He would never tell! "It is," Flint said. "I despair of removing the glitter, though."

He had some on his coat sleeves.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Yes, I fear the glitter shall be with us forever," Lydia agreed. "It's quite festive, though."

Better the glitter stick around than the hooves.

From:

fears_no_one

"Do I strike you as someone very fond of festivity?" Flint asked dryly.

From:

mustbeawitch

"One never knows," Lydia teased him. "Some people do have hidden depths."

From:

fears_no_one

"My depths do not contain a secret fondness for glitter," Flint told her.

From:

mustbeawitch

"Are you sure, though?" Maybe you just hadn't looked deeply enough.

Or maybe Lydia was teasing you. One of those.

From:

thatwaslucky

"You're looking much more normal today," Rey smiled.

From:

fears_no_one

"I have a vast appreciation of my hands now," Flint said.

From:

thatwaslucky

"Doors did seem much simpler on Friday," she agreed.

From:

fears_no_one

"I had so many things in my mouth that had absolutely no business being in my mouth," Flint said.

From:

thatwaslucky

"That's probably something we should have covered in health class," Rey realized.

From:

fears_no_one

"Things not to ingest when you turn into an animal?" Flint replied.

From:

thatwaslucky

"Or how to disinfect when you have no other choice."

This was why you got vaccines, kids.

From:

fears_no_one

Flint nodded. He'd just embraced his inner 1715 and not washed, but he'd never admit to it. "What else shall we add?" he asked. "We could bring it up with the doctor."

From:

thatwaslucky

"Related to weirdness? Oh, I'm not even sure," she said thoughtfully. "I feel like things sprout up when you don't expect them."

From:

fears_no_one

"Turning into a teenager was an unwelcome development," Flint added with a frown.

From:

thatwaslucky

Rey raised an eyebrow. "You were a teenager?"

From:

fears_no_one

Flint sighed. "Singing the praises of the British Navy, no less."

From:

thatwaslucky

"Oh. That's quite the change."

To say the very, very least.

From:

fears_no_one

"I was aghast at the idea of piracy," Flint said, bone dry.

From:

thatwaslucky

"Should I ask what happened that changed that?"

Phrased like that because the was used to Silver.

From:

fears_no_one

"Twenty years of living," Flint said.

From:

mustbeawitch

It's the wurst.

From:

mustbeawitch

Insert sausage jokes here.
