[The crew appears to have a new addition today -- a tall, regal woman with hair that looks very suspiciously similar to a certain pony princess's mane and tail. Celestia popped a bubble, and this is the result.]

[She's doing what anypony would do in her situation -- experimenting with walking on two feet and the limits of this new body.]

[yourotherleft]

[Of all the things to deal with around the ship, this is the least weird. At least for Zoro.

Sometime midafternoon on the first day, he wanders over to see how she's doing. He remembers her fascination with human function after the body swap, so...]

Having fun, Celestia?

[letteropener]

To put it mildly! [Of course, she sounds only the least bit excited, but then again, this is Celestia; effervescence is not one of her skills.] As near as I can tell, this body is as mine as it ought to be, but thoroughly human.

[yourotherleft]

Better than being in someone else's body, huh?

[it's always good to see her happy]

What're you gonna do with your chance?

[letteropener]

Much preferable. This feels more... comfortable. Maybe that's just my perception.

[She shakes her head, which sends a veritable wealth of hair tumbling all about.]

I had no special plans, except to experience and enjoy.

[yourotherleft]

At least you're getting something good out of these bubbles. Just don't overdo it, you don't wanna pass out asleep and sleep away your human time.

[letteropener]

I am going to have to figure out what to do with these while I sleep. [These, of course, are her arms, which seem so oddly short and don't work quite the same as her forelegs do.]

[Hello human!pony, have a bird!fish. Keimi, sporting wings on her arms and new bird talons, gives the human woman a big grin.]

Damn. Tia, is that you? You look hot.

[letteropener]

[Oh my. That's a bit strong from Keimi.]

Well, thank you. I admit I'm still not familiar with what humans find attractive in people, but I can't complain if I look good.

[seakingbait]

It depends from person-to-person. Some people like eyes, some people like butts.

[She shrugs.]

How are you liking being a human?

[letteropener]

[Celestia is not at all sure how to respond to the first statements, so she settles for the question.]

Much better in a body that is, I suppose, 'mine' as opposed to belonging to somepony else and merely borrowed by me. I feel very comfortable in this form.

[seakingbait]

Good to see you're not falling all over yourself, too.

[letteropener]

I assure you, nopony is more relieved than I am.

You look you have been through an...interesting change yourself.

[hey human!Lestia you might hear the pop fwoosh of Luffy bubble experimenting right behind you and suddenly...well there is a "woah" and a proud clatter of hoofbeats. The mark is a Straw Hat Jolly Roger, but otherwise everything else seems the same. Weird isn't it?]

Hey, check it out! I'm you! shishishi

[letteropener]

[And human Celestia is, perhaps for the first time, speechless. Celestia.exe has stopped responding.]

[Seriously. What can she even say. How can she. What.]

[starswirl_the_awesome]

I don't have any wings though. [disappointing.] But I have something on my butt.

[looks back to check] And a horn! Does that mean I can do magic?!

[letteropener]

....Not. Necessarily. [She struggles valiantly to answer, suppressing all the conflicting emotions inside her with every bit of control she has.] That depends on how well the... ah. Effect. Has translated forms.

[starswirl_the_awesome]

[blank look] Oh so it's a mystery magic.

Hmmm.... [bobs his head up and down as if trying to wave a magic wand] Give me meat!

[letteropener]

To... properly use magic, you must channel your mental energy through your horn. Unicorns develop that skill as they grow and mature, normally, which is why I am not sure it will come immediately to you.

[There is nothing good about this situation.]

[serving_lovely]

[One of the bright spots of this whole ordeal! Not that Sanji doesn't adore Celestia-san normally, but she's so cute as a human~!!]

Celestia-swaaaan~!

[Spins toward her, which might look more awkward than usual considering he's a girl right now. THEN AGAIN it's probably always awkward.]

I made a drink for you!

[Swoops into a bow that nearly pitches him straight forward onto his face. Damn extra weight on his chest that he's still not used to, hmph. He straightens again with a sheepish laugh, holding the glass out for her. Miraculously, he didn't spill anything!]

How you doing with the shitty legs?

[letteropener]

[Actually, that's kind of relieving; Celestia isn't really certain if she has become an attractive human or not, but this way she might not need to beat him off with a stick.]

[She accepts the drink, a bit confused, as she looks down at her legs.] Oh, are they bad?

[serving_lovely]

Eh?

[Blinks at her.]

No, 'course not. They're lovely~

[He says, as he eyes them up and down.]

[letteropener]

You're the one who described them otherwise. [She lifts one experimentally, just to see if she can balance her whole weight onto just one. Luckily she isn't wearing a skirt...] I don't have any problems with them myself.

[serving_lovely]

I did?

[HONESTLY CONFUSED, seeing as how he tacks 'shitty' on to damn near everything every time he opens his mouth. Always has.]

Apologies, Celestia-san, I certainly didn't mean to. [Leans up against the railing.] Too bad we're not on land, though. You could take 'em for a run. Or maybe we can go swimming later!

[Not that any of that is particularly new, she can do all of it with four legs, too. But whatever.]

[letteropener]

Is it strange that I already miss my wings?

[She judged the ship, then breaks into an experimental jog for about a dozen feet or so. At the end of her short path, she slows, then turns to walk back to Sanji with a mild frown.]

Now that feels all wrong.
