Conversion Bureau: Journal of a Convert

Entry 2 – 05/16

Today I took some time to read the pamphlet with my friend Julie. She was more than happy to help me understand anything in it as of course she already went through the process. It was fairly straightforward: I scheduled an appointment and then when the time comes I go to the Bureau that day to become a pony. The brochure did explain the process as well; about they would give me a sedative and then give me a serum which would transform me. I asked Julie what exactly the serum was, and she shrugged and simply said “magic.”

I must say the pamphlet helped answer all my questions.

Would the transformation be painful? No.

Would I see the transformation: No because I will be under.

Would I be able to choose my race/ color? No, because due to the magical nature of the serum, there is no telling that. I’m not really picky on what I look like, although I prefer to be a unicorn as I’d like to learn magic and be the same type as my best friend.

What must I do to prepare?

This was the interesting part. The pamphlet mentioned that I had to give up everything I had. Julie mentioned that most human things like cars, computers, weren’t pony friendly. Also she heard that since newly converted ponies were given new placed to live complete with furnishings, there would really be no need for my furniture. But I think, and Julie agrees, the main reason is that ponies want to make sure that the transfer from human to pony is total. That means no attachment to your past life, including things. Well it’s not like I have lots of things. I’m a poor college student after all!

I have so much the do I realize. I need to get rid of what stuff I have, ask Julie to help me know the ins and outs of being a pony, and get ready for that day. It’s going to be very busy, but I will try to complete these entries.
