Newcomers and veterans alike, welcome to the world of ponies!

[aie_mods]

Who: YOU. And you. And you. And everyone!
What: What just happened!? You've been transported into the world of ponies, that's what.
When: November 10th
Where: Smack dab in the middle of Ponyville. And around Ponyville. And maybe a little outside Ponyville too.
Rating: You know you.

(Pssst. Check out the story so far to get an idea for what's happened prior to this point!)

It all happened in a flash. Short earthquakes and aftershocks rocked some of the buildings in Ponyville as a magical explosion wreaked its own brand of havoc across Equestria. Once the dust settled, however, the Ponyville ponies realized that there were some newcomers in their midst. Ones that were definitely not there before the explosion. So where did they come from, and how did they get here? Did the explosion bring them here?

Luckily, the actual damage from the earthquakes was minor, and there were no actual downed buildings, just some that were now slightly cracked and in need of repairs.

The natives slowly closed in on the newcomers, warily eyeing them and wondering what their intentions were. But rather than looking angry or upset, they just looked confused and curious. Why not introduce yourselves to them, and to each other?

The official royal welcome wagon might even show up soon!

That's fine with her. She does pause a bit to think.

"Hmm, if this place is like the one from home, there should be a crystal tree-like castle in the town. Princess Twilight lives there and I'm sure she or her assistant Spike, would be willing to help you out. He's a dragon too."

Hopefully she's right. It's possible this Equestria is from before Twilight became a princess, but better safe than sorry.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"A princess? A crystal tree? I can't say I've seen such a tree. Though I suppose I was a little distracted. I'm... not from around here, would you mind pointing me in the right direction?" The way he says that may hint that he's not from Equestria either.

Pausing he looks himself over, looks at Coco, then back to himself as he frowns a little and sighs. "Granted, I'm sopping wet and I doubt I'd fit in the building... Though you said she has a dragon for an assistant? Maybe he could answer the questions I have instead."

[betweenlightanddark]

"...how many worlds will I have to go to before I get frequent flier miles because this is getting annoying."

That came from a unicorn all decked in red as she shook her body and dusts off her hat. Taking a look at her now hooves, Yukiko sighs and takes a look around.

"If it helps, I'm kind of glad Yua-chan isn't here." The red mage can just picture her friend in the town square screaming FUCK YOUR FRIENDSHIP MAGIC and Yukiko shudders. Stumbling along, trying to get used to walking on all fours again, she goes to find anything from ponies to newspapers to SOMETHING that would explain why she's here. Because she can't depend on the Echo just in case that got nerfed.

"Excuse me," she asks the first pony or creature she sees. "Are you from town? May I ask you a couple questions?"

[betweenlightanddark]

Is...is that really a good idea?

[Gods Pinkie what the hell? And yes, Yukiko remembers you but she isn't sure if the same applies to the hyper pony.]

[usedpartycannon]

It's probably because of rules and all. Everyone gets one overpowered ability!

[Tra la la, looking for deus ex machina.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

"Shapeshift? What do you mean a-"

He reaches out his hand to point but... It's not a hand.

It's a hoof.

"GAH!" He tries to stumble to his feet, but he now realizes he now has four feet, two appendages on his back, and no hands. The best he can do is sit up like a dog and look himself over in shock.

"What is this?!"

[whatsmytalentagain]

"...Huh. Isn't that lucky."

Sigh. "What else is new around here."

[burningbrighter]

"We're bunkies, then!"

Sunset accepted the hug with a cheery laugh, but...uh. She pulled back to give Pinkie an amused look.

"Not exactly. Ponies don't really need to wear clothes the way humans do. But you can wear clothes if you want! We have fancy saddles, coats, hats, dresses...actually, I think Princess Twilight told me once that her Rarity owns her own boutique in town.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Hyperactive pink pony? Meet chill-ish green pony who seems kind of confused here.]

Uh... I'm pretty sure were not stuck in a video game, Ma'am.

[Granted, the pastel houses and the talking horses might make it look like a game.]

[burningbrighter]

"Small cottage with bunks crammed into it," Sunset shrugged. "We're not going to make you sleep on the floor, okay? Equestria's nicer than that. And makeshift beds are pretty easy to make for a pony. If there's a hay bale, I'm taking it."

She grinned. "We'll make sure you get a comfortable spot. I've heard it can be tricky to sleep with wings if you're not used to them."

[usedpartycannon]

"Really? How's that working out for you?" asked Pinkie curiously. "Did it have explosions and sugar and stuff?"

[usedpartycannon]

Oh I knew THAT as soon as I checked this place out!

There's a lot of cool stuff here though. Like rubber chickens!

[She places the chicken on his head.]

[usedpartycannon]

"Oooo-OoooO-Oooh! I wonder if we can bum some of her clothing. But sure I'll pay for it later." said Pinkie.

"But hey, this is cool too. Freeeee Flooooowwwwwwwing~!"

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Well, you're a pony. Who is green. Why are you green?" asked the red pony.

[cidery]

"It's a shapeshift," replied Apple evenly, moving over to help him cope.

"Don't worry too much about it. It happens."

[burningbrighter]

"We're vegetarians, obviously. But it's not all grass and oats! We like those, yes, but we also have sandwiches, salads, breads, and pastries. Our chefs and bakers really put their hearts into it."

She tipped her head to the side. "Why, hungry?"

[burningbrighter]

Sunset giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Think you're ready to go galloping yet?"

[whatsmytalentagain]

"Dunno, I just woke up like this."

He shrugs plainly. "Why are you a red pony?"

[whatsmytalentagain]

[He is now balancing a chicken on his head.]

Ooookay? That's actually pretty neat.

[He wants this off, but he doesn't wanna drop it and he has no hands. Help.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

"Uh... Okay?"

He blinks, leaning back a tiny bit. "S-Sorry, I'm not really sure what a shapeshift is..."

But this girl seems to be helpful enough... "Do you live here?"

[usedpartycannon]

"Oh sure, I've been pronking everywhere already!" Exclaimed Pinkie, bouncing around Sunset.

[cidery]

"A shapeshift is a shapeshift. You know, changing form." Explained Apple patiently.

"And no, I don't. Sorry." said Apple.

[usedpartycannon]

Yep! There's more where that came from too!

Cookie?

[she's offering a box of cookies from her mane now.]

[explosions_are_awesome]

Bad move.

"I AM MEGUMIN! SCION OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS, THE HEAVENS TREMBLE AT MY MIGHT OF COMMANDING EXPLOSION MAGIC!"

Pose.

[frozenmemories]

[If anything was going to reassure the small icicle winged pegasus filly, the fact she had been here before...or so she hoped. The fact there are scales on her face and neck probably isn't helping her try and figure things out. Nor is the heavy armor and icy axe on her back. It takes her a moment to stand and walk..although she takes to the air instead quickly.

A sigh and a shake of her head later she's wandering about, trying to look confidant on her own.]

Um...Hey. Do you know what's going on?

((OOC- Picture is to show her scales and eyes. Yes- She has the rings in her eyes and the slight bit of green in her mane as well ^^))
