Disinviting? That's harsh. I mean, sending a "Yo! Answer me!" follow-up - sure thing. Or just seething silently. But disinviting? Nuh-uh. Maybe it was a mistake. I don't do e-vites enough to know whether you can accidentally disinvite someone when, say, you were marking them as not having responded or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go to the party anyway! I mean, if it turns out you're gatecrashing, it's less rude than the takeback.

I don't have to be at work until 10:00 tomorrow, and it's the Scarlett Johansson Robot Chicken tonight.
The question is, will I be able to stay awake that long?

Hivemind horse question:
I need a horse to suddenly stumble with an injury that will make it unable to carry riders for at least several days. But I don't want to kill the horsie--the story is a little bloody as is. So something that will heal with time and care is indicated.
Hero and heroine are riding double across rocky, uneven ground, and I'd prefer something sudden-onset if possible--the horse goes to its knees like the horse that won the Preakness, only more injured.
Ideas?

How about something spooks the horse and it runs off?

my new iPod is charging. I have already trashed iTunes on my work computer, but it looks like I will be adding it back on tomorrow and spending the day ripping CDs. WHOOT!
I'm not one for naming objects, but I am pretty sure the iPod is gonna need a name.

Mine's called TARDIS. You can copy that if you want.

Susan, you could just have the horse get something lodged in it's hoof like a sharp stone. After removal, that would bruise the pad enough to make the horse lame for a few days but wouldn't cause long term damage. The horse probably wouldn't fall to its knees, but it would certainly stumble and start limping.

Mine is called "iPod", but I'm boring that way.
