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!

"I'm not going to aim it into the middle of town," replied Megumin, hooves twitching as she waved her staff at him.

"I don't have the money to repair the town. Yet."

"Thank you... Woah!" Rantaro stumbled a bit to the left, wings hastily flapping in an attempt to keep from falling over. He managed to regain his balance quickly.

"Gah, sorry. Not really used to the hooves thing yet."

[explosions_are_awesome]

"What's weird about hooves?" asked Megumin curiously. Being a tiny filly, she had no problem with walking on four legs.

"You just put one foot in front of the other."

[whatsmytalentagain]

"Uh... That's kind of hard when you have four of them."

He glances down at his hooves.

"... I'll get used to it."

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Maybe it's because you're taller than I am," replied Megumin. "I got used to it quick."

[whatsmytalentagain]

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

Sigh. "What else is new around here."

[explosions_are_awesome]

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

[whatsmytalentagain]

"Dunno, I just woke up like this."

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

[explosions_are_awesome]

Bad move.

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

Pose.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Huh. How melodramatic.

"... That's not answering my question, but nice to meet you. The name's Rantaro Amami. I'm not a mage or anything, but I hope we can get along."

Seriously, this pony doesn't even have a cutie mark. Pretty dang plain, huh?

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Rantaro. What a weird name."

This coming from a family of Yun Yun and Hyouzabyou.

[whatsmytalentagain]

"You're one to talk."

Way to be blunt, pal.

"Hey, I heard a bunch of... Uh. Ponies talking about an explosion earlier. Was that you?"

[explosions_are_awesome]

"If you have problem with my name, say so!" Exclaimed Megumin hotly.

"Not yet. I can show you an Explosion," she challenged, aiming her staff at him.

[whatsmytalentagain]

He quickly put up his front hooves in defense.

"No, no, I don't think that's necessary."

Plz don't blow up the avocado pony.

[explosions_are_awesome]

Heh. Retracting her weapon, she added, "There's plenty one doesn't know about this world."
