Hi there @akousanet! Thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...
After you accidentally step on their robe, a rather sarcastic and moderately disgruntled wizard looks deep into your soul and polymorphs you into an animal, what animal is it?
Were it me, I'd put £5 on being turned into a pygmy goat and left in a petting zoo; full of righteous anger, but too adorable to be taken seriously as I headbutt authority figures.
@alice I enjoy reading the responses to your vibe-check questions, but it suddenly occurred to me that I can't remember seeing responses from the people to whom the questions are originally directed. What proportion of your CAPTCHAlices go unanswered, do you reckon?

@amenonsen I still think it's somewhere around half to a third that get answered. Probably more like a third lately. Sometimes it takes days for someone to respond though.

@alice I've encountered this wizard.
When I used to work in downtown Oregon City, I'd take two coffee breaks and walk past the courthouse to the (not Starbuck's) coffee shop. There was a little raised patio outside—I suspect it may have been a loading dock—with a table and a couple of chairs. One day, as I'm approaching, I see a dog on the patio, busily knocking all the furniture back and forth. A woman walks past me going the other direction and says "Yeah. THAT'S happening." As I get closer, I see the dog is a goat, and the table and chairs are not quite destroyed but well on their way. Inside, I identify the goat's wizard as the only one not looking at the goat. In fact, he is stirring sugar into his coffee with a certain walking-away-from-the-explosion aplomb.
He is also wearing a brightly tie-dyed J. Peterman cattleman's duster, with a matching wide-brimmed hat*. I want to say boots were involved as well, but I may be embellishing.
I hand my cup to my friend the cafe manager, and she says, through clenched teeth, "So. How's YOUR day?"

* At this point, I fully expect three people on the Fedi who follow Alice to go "Oh. That guy. I know that guy."**___
** Or possibly "I am that guy." -

@alice @akousanet Groundhog or pangolin, what with how they they always look like they're apologising for something.

This one was difficult. Some contenders: penguin, octopus, cockatiel, red fox, squirrel, and border terrier.
Decided to go with white goose. I'm minding my own business, doing white goose things. Then you do something that requires justice be delivered to you. I can do that, and I don't even have to say "I'm Batman".

Awesome story!
