There aren't a lot of "fancy" places in town, as any resident would be painfully aware of. The closest thing to an upscale establishment was the Olive Grove, an average Italian restaurant that happened to have nice interior design. Marcy, Zoe, Blair and Kris arrived, exhausted and hungry, to find that they'd need to wait a half hour to even be seated.
Normally, there are two ways around this sort of predicament: tough it out, or find a different place to eat. There does happen to be a third option, but it's only availible to people with ray guns that transform people into maids.
After debating it with her friends, Marcy took aim at the hostess, setting it to make a cute maid with the preferred species. The woman instantly disappeared behind her poduium. When Marcy looked, she found a unicorn - pink hair, white fur, and barely over four feet tall. She looked flustered, to say the least.
"Mistress! Mistress mistress mistress..." She grabbed some menus with some light telekinesis. "You'll be served right about... now"
"It's no problem..." Marcy was awestruck. Not only did the device make a fantasy creature, it made it into a child. "Say, how old are you anyways?"
"I'm 23, but us unicorns live a lot longer than humans, so I'd be..." She paused for a moment. "I'm like, fizzy-o-logicly four years old. But I'm an adult, I graduated high school and all that."
Marcy looked back at her device, reading out the pony's description.
FLORENCE BOLTON STARBRIGHT
AGE: 23
OCCUPATION: parttime MAID, parttime HOSTESS
It went on into more detail, but Marcy had already made her selections. Within moments, Florence was a 100 year old unicorn, employed full-time by Mistress. She stood roughly 6'5", and her uniform looked more ornate than any of the others's. She was, however, an 18 year old at heart, and was fiddling away at her phone with her hooves.
"It's really swell of you to bring me for this, Mistress." She stepped out from the hostess's station, as a new one seamlessly took her place.
As they sat down, all four aware people couldn't stop asking Florence questions. She talked at length about her past, but when she brought up her family, Zoe got intrigued. Florence's mother was a unicorn, but her father was a fox - a pairing that apparently resulted in a mix of unicorn and fox offspring. She was apparently best friends with her cousin 5 times removed, a 16 year old fox girl named Sophie.
The ray gun had altered history, and created entirely anthros, possibly out of thin air. It's not a device for changing people, it's a device for changing the world.
Zoe started hyperventillating. Did she really want such a device to just be floating around? Is Mistress to be trusted with that much power? Is herself to be trusted?
She snatched the ray gun and threw it on the ground. She watched it flash and sputter, before...
