action/dictated PLOT START

[ When midnight hits, the change is obvious. People, ponies, no matter who, no matter where, are now somewhere different.

The change, for Twilight Sparkle, is even more obvious.

It's a dark highway, and anybody in the same area would no doubt notice the human girl, a young adult by approximate age, with what might be familiar purple-streaked hair. They'd also probably notice the befuddled expression on her face. Aaaand the fact she's not wearing a stitch of clothing.

Her journal lies open next to her to catch her every word, as is usual for this place, just in case there are people not close by enough to catch sight themselves. ]

What-

What's going on? [ She's down on her hands and knees, and she picks up a hand to stare at it for a moment. ] My... hooves?

I'm.....? I'm a human?

[ The pavement on her hands kind of hurts - hands were not meant for walking, Twilight remembers. She tries to stand up on her feet, but she can't seem to work out the proper way to move from her current position onto her feet. Each attempt ends up with her back on the ground. ]

Ow, ow ow ow...

This isn't working. How in Celestia do you people walk!?

[ Please be helping out a pony. Turned human. Teach her how to walk, or at least stand!

Oh, and tell her to put some clothes on.

Also, feel free to do a general "WTF where are we what's goin' on" since nobody else has done a post for that yet. ]

It's all right. At least you're not suffering alone.

[ Stupid castle. Even though there doesn't seem to be a castle any more.

She wonders, briefly, if Fluttershy is being subjected with this. Or Shining Armor. Or Spike. ]

[after the third try, she huffs, still on her knees but at least she's sitting up.

She pulls a lock of her hair over her shoulder and studies it. Her mane's still magical and flowy, so she should still have her magic - despite the lack of a horn.

Concentration yields a steady bar of tangible magic floating in midair, which she leans on after she pulls herself up.]

[learns]

Wait. You can do that!?

How!? That doesn't even make sense! You're missing your horn!

[ensemble_dark_horse]

I know not, but mine magic works. [and she's concentrating and frowning as she looks inwards.] Even if it hath been dampened.

[focusing on Twilight now] And thine?

[learns]

I.... I don't know.

[ Twilight cooooncentrates....

Suddenly, somewhere, some random person has a mustache. ]

Yes, it seems like it's working.

[ensemble_dark_horse]

[oh good.]

'Tis certainly a relief. [if all else fails, teleport everywhere.]

[learns]

But... if you managed to stand up, I can do it, too!

[ brb trying Luna's cheat method ]

[ensemble_dark_horse]

That is the least of it, I am afraid.

[she contemplates taking a step, but decides to watch Twilight instead]

[learns]

[ SUCCEEEEEEEEEEESS! ]

Ha! I did it!

[ensemble_dark_horse]

[a smile] I can see why Celestia doth enjoy teaching thee so.

[learns]

...Oh? Really? [ Twilight looks over curiously. ]

[ensemble_dark_horse]

Yes.

[way to elaborate, Luna. Instead, she tries out a shaky step while holding onto the bar in a death grip.]
