The rocky bits, Tuesday evening

[notmyownage]

Claudia . . . was still hiding out in the rocky bits. She was getting a bit more towards sickly pale than flat out gray, now, and her finger nails had mostly returned to normal, but her teeth were still very much of the sharp, pointy variety and she kept being tempted to try to eat raw fish straight out of the water, so she was figuring it was not yet time to return to dorms.

Maybe she'd just set up her own little hermit cave here. No one would miss her, anyway. Well, not until Artie noticed that no one had inventoried the Warehouse for awhile, anyway, and that could be ages.

[ooc: for . . . me, pretty much. Yes.]

"No, it's my coat, mane, and tail." Pinkie wasn't so great at genetics. "Come on, it's no fun hiding out here with all the rocks. You should at least hide out where you have a comfy bed and might get to eat some cupcakes!"

[notmyownage]

Claudia's stomach rumbled in response. Claudia supposed she should be pleased that it hadn't, say, rumbled at the sight of Pinkie, herself.

"But I'm still all creepy. I ate things. Living things. I can't come out until I know it's all gone."

"That was just 'cause of the spooky rock," Pinkie said dismissively. "Loads of ponies went a little creepy from that. But we got rid of it and everything's okay now! You don't have to eat things any more unless they're made of tasty vegetable matter!"

Ponies, it should be noted, were strict herbivores.

"I might have to go vegetarian," Claudia agreed. "Except maybe for sushi." Those fish really looked pretty good, okay? "You promise it's all over?"

[locointhecoco]

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

[notmyownage]

Claudia was rather impressed by the *ploink* sound effect when Pinkie poked herself in the eye. Seriously, it was like this pony was made of dark matter, or something.

". . . Okay, fine. I'll try going back to the dorms." She managed to accidentally bite her lower lip with her still-pointy teeth and reflexively covered her mouth with her hand. "When my teeth go back to normal."

[locointhecoco]

"Uh uh," said Pinkie. "Now."

[notmyownage]

"But --"

[locointhecoco]

"Go!"

[notmyownage]

". . . teeth. . . ."

[locointhecoco]

"Go!" Pinkie moved behind Claudia to nudge her forward with her head. "And you can tell anyone who makes fun of you that they'll have to answer to Pinkie!"

[notmyownage]

Claudia couldn't help it -- she had to smile.

Showing off a fairly wicked set of teeth that might be getting closer to normal teeth sizes, but sure as hell weren't getting any less pointy.

"Okay, okay, I'm going! Sheesh." She started making her way out of the rocks, glancing back occasionally at Pinkie.

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie followed close behind, determined to make sure that Claudia actually went all the way back to town.

She'd just helped one of the students not be a creepy rock-dwelling loner! She was so impressed with herself!

Just wait until Princess Celestia heard about this one.
