How to Be Awesome, Wednesday, 3rd Period

[nomoresportscars]

The Danger Shop looked like a movie theater today. Jackson was parked at one end of the back row of seats.

"Today we're gonna look at things not being awesome," he drawled. "Like this movie. Which you're gonna watch now. So sit your asses down."

Yeah, it was a movie day. Look, the island had smelled funny since Jackson had shown up this morning. As the kids filed in it became extra obvious that there was no point to having a proper class, which was good, because the weird smells were throwing Jackson off anyway.

So the movie began.

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Jackson really doesn't care.

"This day was supposed to be better than yesterday," Dante growled at the stupid movie.

"Dante, I'm a pony," Isabela whined. She sounded about as happy as he looked.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[rebelseekspizza]

"So am I," Dante said irritably. "This is stupid."

You tell 'im, Dante.

"At least you have wings," Isabela said grumpily. "I'm just a boring weird pony."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

"My wings are weird," Dante retorted, folding the weird, draconic-looking things outward. "At least his wings look like they belong on him."

He nodded at Roscoe.

Isabela was pretty sure wings didn't belong on ponies at all. "Your wings look cool," she protested.

"Yeah, this is horseshit," Roscoe agreed.

Just a little pun to brighten your morning, Dante.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[rebelseekspizza]

"See, that is exactly what I said this morning," Dante said.

... he had made the exact same pun, yes. He was still going to laugh about it anyway.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

Well, there were only a limited number of horse puns out there in the world. Although now Roscoe felt just a little less witty.

"How come he gets to skip this one?" he whined (whinnied, even?) with a jerk of his pony head toward Jackson. "It's so unfair. I deserve opposable thumbs way more than that guy."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[rebelseekspizza]

Roscoe shouldn't feel too bad. Dante was friends with Isabela, and between the two of them, they tended to exhaust the punning potential of anything pretty quickly.

He appreciated all puns. Even repeat puns.

"We all deserve thumbs way more than that guy," Dante said. "Fuck that guy." Beat. "You doing okay?"

Roscoe occasionally liked romance movies, but this one was not on the extremely short list of the ones he could tolerate. Besides, the whole pony thing? Kind of made it impossible to enjoy anything today.

He gritted his teeth through it and practiced texting with his hooves. At least he could still use his phone.

Ada should have stayed in bed, except she really didn't fit in her bed as a pony.

Fine. She'd get as comfortable as she could with extra legs (which, to be fair, was better than no legs), and watch the movie.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[rebelseekspizza]

Fwump, said Dante's body, as it flopped down next to her. "Murr," he said.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

"Ain't you supposed 't say 'neigh,' not 'murr'?" she asked, leaning against him for a moment for a shoulder-bump. If she'd been Ada-shaped she'd have put her head on his shoulder, but that just wasn't working as a pony. "Hey."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[rebelseekspizza]

"I'm not a real pony," Dante retorted. Because he wasn't, damn it. He nudged her shoulder back with his face. "You okay?" Beat. "Besides the stupid pony thing."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

"Could be worse, I could be a seahorse," she pointed out. "So this is better than it could be."

She looked at the floor and shrugged. "I just... I couldn't stay yesterday. He was just makin' me too damn mad."

"Can we cancel this week?" Isabela asked once she figured out which other pony was Ada. "It's terrible."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

"How 'bout we back up t' Friday?" Ada suggested. "Mind, my weekend wasn't bad, but I didn't need t' lose my mind."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[good_for_six]

"I can work with that," Isabela said, bumping her with her shoulder. "Stupid island."

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

"We should go in t' Baltimore again," she decided, leaning in to bump back. "Go meet new and interesting wallets, an' introduce 'em to nice girls."

"...when we're people-shaped again."

Roscoe was determined to get the hang of texting with hooves, and so, hi, big sis, you were getting a text.

PONIES WTF???, he wrote, and then added a horse emoji followed by an angry face emoji.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

Watching Ada try to text back was probably hilarious, tiny pony nose scrunched up in concentration as she typed back.

ponies new to me. did turn into a boy once tho.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[thewrathofkaan]

yeah but having a dick is better than having NO FINGERS

Sorry, Ada. Roscoe just didn't get the big deal about the genderswap weekend thing.

Re: Watch the Movie [Awe 07/13]

[boneyard_girl]

not when you've never had a dick and it's your 1st time dealing with Fandom fuckery. UNHAPPY DICK SURPRISE.

What? It had been!

when you wake up a girl -- because it would, probably, happen -- text me and I will bring you stuff from the store bc none of your clothes will fit. I had to wear Dante's shirts.
