In 2350, a research team in the unremarkable city of New-Caston accidentally synthesized a compound called Pon-E. It showed no activity in standard testing. Nobody expected anything. When human trials were approved and the injections administered, every subject lost consciousness and transformed over two to four hours into a small, brightly colored, four-legged pony — identical in species to the cartoon ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Their intelligence was completely intact. Their memories were intact. They could speak. But their capacity for premeditated violence was neurologically diminished, and their drive toward social connection was measurably stronger than the human baseline.

They were classified as animals anyway. Commercial interest played a significant role, and the behavioral profile genuinely did support the argument. Their protests were documented and set aside. Legally, they had no standing.

Every two months, five people selected from a pool of individuals flagged as dangers to themselves or others are transformed through what is called the Raffle. After a mandatory two-day quarantine, they are sold through licensed pet stores for eight to nine thousand dollars. Approximately ten percent of the pet pony market comes from traffickers who kidnap ordinary people, run them through the same process, forge the paperwork, and sell them to stores that often have no idea. The stores do not look too hard.

Pony types include earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns, alicorns, and thestrals. Each has distinct physical traits and abilities. All of them were once human. All of them remember it.
