There's a purple pony walking through Milliways today.

That, in itself, is not so unusual.

What is unusual is that she's walking on one of the rafters.

On the underside of one of the rafters.

Twilight is silent for a long moment, trying to comprehend this.

"˙˙˙ʇnq 'ǝɹǝɥ ǝɹ,noʎ ǝsnɐɔǝq 'sı ʇı ʎlsnoıʌqo 'uɐǝɯ I ˙ǝlqıssod s,ʇɐɥʇ ʍoɥ puɐʇsɹǝpun I ǝɹns ǝʇınb ʇou ˙˙˙ɯ,I"

"Yeah, that's pretty much how far we understand it too."

Ana, bored with nonsensical grown-up talk, tries to turn upside-down in Enzo's arms.

"˙ǝɹǝɥʇ 'lnɟǝɹɐƆ ¡sdooɥM" Twilight telekinetically 'catches' Ana before she slides out of Enzo's grip completely.

[a1enzo]

"Thanks. Ana, try asking."

"Up-sigh down, please."

"'ɹǝʇʇɐɯ ɟo ǝpɐɯ ǝɹ,noʎ ǝʞıl lǝǝɟ ǝɹns no⅄" Twilight remarks as she carefully sets Ana back down on the board.

[a1enzo]

Enzo sits down on the board so he can carefully hold Ana upside-down. "Milliways again. It's how we feel to ourselves. But we're all energy and information. Up and down's just another number."

"Good call. Let's see..."

Holding Ana firmly with one arm, he conjures a series of objects from his belt. A stringless yo-yo... a small toy like a teddy bear in uniform... a packet of biscuits...

"How about this?"

[no_vampires_plz]

"˙op ll,ʇɐɥʇ"

Twilight's horn glows with a pink aura. So does the packet. It floats up into the air...

[a1enzo]

Bip! It blinks and turns upside-down.

"Hey! I think it worked!"

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight frowns.

The light around the packet vanishes, and it... drops back down onto the floor.

[a1enzo]

Or toward it, anyway; Enzo catches it.

"Darn. It looked like it worked... dude. This is weird."

"¿sı ʇɐɥM"

[a1enzo]

He displays the packet; the text and images on it are mirrored.

...

"˙uǝddɐɥ oʇ pǝsoddns ʇou s,ʇɐɥʇ"

[a1enzo]

Enzo starts to laugh. "I think you flipped its own z dimension, not its z position."

"Funny bikkits."

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight shakes her head. "˙ʞɹoʍ oʇ ƃuıoƃ ʇou s,llǝds ʇɐɥʇ ʎlɹɐǝlɔ 'llǝM"

[a1enzo]

"Can you undo it?"

[no_vampires_plz]

"˙˙˙ʎɹʇ ll,I"

The packet glows and levitates again.

[a1enzo]

Bip!

"At least that works."

Mairi, meanwhile, has been scanning all this magic in fascination.
