Backdated to this morning

[forgedinbattle]

[Xena does wake up where she went to sleep. Instead, she finds herself in the lobby this morning- in a much smaller (and much cuter) form.

Don't mind her, she's just going to be scurrying about, trying to avoid being stepped on and figuring out what exactly she's supposed to do until this wears off. Feel free to harass the hedgehog. Just don't expect her to be happy about it.]

[Well, that's better. The hedgehog edges out toward Fluttershy, rather curious. A talking technicolor pony. That's new.]

[She smiles, staying in place so she won't frighten the hedgehog again.]

Hello... it's so very nice to meet you. My name is Fluttershy, and I just love cute animals like you...

[forgedinbattle]

[Oh, gods. She is a cute animal, isn't she? What is her life coming to? She would answer you, Fluttershy, except that she can't really talk, so it all comes out in little huffs and puffs. At least she's not running away?]

[3_butterflies]

Such a small creature in such a large room... It might be a little scary. Would you like me to get you to a smaller room?

[forgedinbattle]

[Oh, hey. That actually sounds pretty good. Being in a place with less traffic sounds a lot safer.

Xena does her best to nod her little hedgehog head (difficult when you don't have much neck to speak of) and generally look approving.]

Okay! Here...

[She crouches down, laying her wings out on the floor.]

You can climb on me, and I'll take you around.

[forgedinbattle]

[This is so strange... but Xena can't really talk; she's suddenly a hedgehog. So she scurries up the wings and tries to find a way to cling to Fluttershy. Be careful with her, little pony!]

[Once the hog is one, she stands back up.]

Now we can go for a nice little walk... And when you want me to stop, just tug on my mane.

[She then begins to walk, gently, slowly...]

[forgedinbattle]

[You are the best, Fluttershy. Xena may even try to express awkward gratitude in a series of little chirps.]
