The Subversive Scrolls

by Ponyess


In the Mail: 1

This all started, as I found a scroll in my mail. I had carried it in, believing it a regular part of my delivered mail, but I guess I should have thought differently, it isn't as if I regularly were sent scrolls? I checked the address on the scroll, and it was for me, since it reads Pinkie Pie

This was just after breakfast, and I was to go to work, just after I read through my mail. Of course, how was I to go out there, looking like this?

Reading my daily mail isn't overly exciting, so I guess I was more eager to read the text in this scroll, as unusual as it was?

Just as I had finished reading, what ever it was, I had actually read, my entire body slowly started to feel stiff in a strange way. It isn't the way you feel stiff, if you're tired, cold or any such common reasons. If that had been the case, I knew what to do about it.

The feeling grew in intensity, and I finally did look down, only to see what was happening to me. This is when I noticed it. I'm slowly covered in thick rubber, as if a bathing suit was growing right out of my skin. Aside from the slippery surface, glistering as if it had been a clear gel lubricant, it apparently was the hue of my original coat, which calmed me slightly.

Lifting my right hand, prodding, I soon noticed just how elastic it is. It's slippery, yet entirely red. To my shock, it was actually part of my skin, and replaced the coat I had there before.

Once more looking down, I noticed my hooves now was glistering, and had grown a few shades darker, more red. Kicking the floor made me realise, they still felt just as hard and adamant, but as I set it down, it is elastic, like the suit, and almost stuck to the floor, as if I had been wearing the Sucker-Cups I wore as I was watching the Cake Twins. That left a strange mark on my mood.

After a hoof-ful minutes, the suit finished developing. By now I had almost adjusted to how it felt, physically. How long the mental adjustment would take, I have no idea, it is something I just couldn't predict, in part because I had no idea, as to what the curse was, if it is in fact a curse.

I guess I could give the effects the benefit of the doubt, in part because I am the element of Laughter, but also because I'm not feeling pain, or any such problems coming over me. Just this strangeness of the suit growing out on my body.

It had covered my entire body and nothing but my body. My tail still the same as it was, before I tried to read the scroll. Short of the change of my hooves, but this is equally restricted.

For some reason, I felt an urge to look in a mirror, only to find a few strange details, my lips have changed in colour, similar to my hooves. I had also gotten my eyes shadowed, in a fashion Rarity may have considered? Even if I'm not sure the silver metallic and glistering was in her taste, either for me, or for herself? Maybe I could ask, when I next saw her. As I held my right hand before the mirror, I noticed my nails had turned into miniature finger hooves, looking exactly like the hooves I'm walking on, which puzzled me for a moment.

Knowing better then to examine, I figured, the same rubber responsible for the make-up I'm now wearing, if wearing is the correct word here? I simply ignored the details. Even if I guess my eyelashes would look good, in the long and glistering black, slightly cured up in a curve?

Then I felt a momentary tingle in my nibbles, realising they had grown considerably, but refused to acknowledge it for now.

There is the same feeling all over my mound. It told me it had grown generous, beyond my hopes. Likewise, I knew my orchid is in full bloom. Elastic, glistering and sensitive as could be asked for?

Of course, there is the small detail, both my mane and tail looks as if I had been washing them with the finest of glister shampoo? Not something I was in the habit of, but it is what I'm looking like, and how I felt.
