Vinyl didn't know what she expected. The "Mane Six", as the town called them, were up to something, if that burst of magic from earlier in the day had been any indication. After the Parasprite Incident, they were all rather hesitant to let Twilight preform spells...

Maybe she was a complete idiot for not calling in sick, but she'd gotten used to the relative peace that Ponyville had been in for a while. So used to it that she ignored the Mane Six's odd behavior. Octavia was probably going to kill her now that she thought of it, but how was she supposed to know that some sort of magical creature was going to infest itself in her!?

All she knew was that six glowing white bat things had attacked her on her way home. Well....not attacked....more like....absorbed into her? She didn't know what happened, but now she had an odd craving for apples and her teeth were sharper. It was concerning, and Octavia was most certainly going to move her to the couch for at least the next several days....

When she opened the door, Octavia was lightly playing her music, as always. She never minded staying up to greet Vinyl when she got home. One of the many reasons Vinyl knew she was absolutely smitten with the Canterlot mare. She stopped playing, placing her bow and cello in their case and sitting on the couch, not bothering to prepare tea since they'd both be in bed shortly,

"How was your day Vinyl?" Oh how she wished she could keep it a secret, but....Octavia always saw right through her. It would just lengthen her time away from their bed,

"Normal, until five minutes ago." Octavia raised a brow and Vinyl decided to take the easy route and show her the new fangs. Octavia stared, before sighing lightly, "Is there a craving for blood?" Vinyl shook her head, "Nope, but apples are sounding really nice right about now." Octavia looked at her in disbelief, "Vinyl dear....apples?" Vinyl nodded, completely serious, even taking off her glasses. Octavia paused, before sighing once more, "Look now you have the red eyes too....how did it happen?" Vinyl was amazed that Octavia didn't even seem slightly frazzled. Then again, Canterlot ponies were good at hiding their emotions. Aside from disgust. 

"I was walking down the street and what I can only assume was magic in the form of bats kinda absorbed into me with no warning." Octavia sighed once more, "Well then. We'll have to inquire about what happened with Twilight and her cohorts tonight, I'm sure Pinkie will be willing to explain it. That's perhaps the only plausible explanation for....this." She waved her hoof over Vinyl's form and stood up from her place on the couch, 

"Since there was no way to avoid it, you aren't being moved to the couch. I do, however, recommend not trying to nuzzle me tonight or I might throw you out the window." How that mare could say something so violent and yet remain beautifully proper, Vinyl would never know. What she did know was that Octavia was not kicking her out of the bed, which was nice.
