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!

The last thing Coco remembered, Ponyville was being filled with ponies that got turned into Yogert Zombies amid the chaos of Star Swirl attacking. She had tried to contact the older Tails about what happened to his younger self, but it seemed her last message didn't go through.

Just as when she sat at her home worrying about what's going on, she suddenly finds herself taken away again.

So naturally when Coco finds herself in the middle of Ponyville, she's very confused. There doesn't seem to be any yogert zombies though the looks from the other ponies make her feel slightly unease.

Coco adjusts her hat as she looks around in confusion.

"What in the world?"

What a nice hat! It doesn't distract Haurchefant, however, from the fact it's another of these splendid horses! Well, it does a little - was there ways for them to be crafted? He saw no Spoken.

A curious world.

"I'd have to say it's more what in the worlds, for I'm quite unfamiliar with it - but we both have the same question."

[shyformerassistant]

"Well yes. It looks like Equestria, but I'm not sure if this is the one I'm from, the one I came back to or a different one entirely."

She glances at the crowd. "Judging by everypony's reaction, I'm guessing the latter."

Sure that sort of thing didn't/hasn't happened yet back home, but this was clearly not a normal situation.

[emet_selch]

"There's multiple-- how very splendid! And these Equestria - are they all filled with such horses?"

Listen there's certain things Haurchefant wants to focus on.

If she ends up wandering near the edge of town, she's likely to come across a large white and red dragon that's looking more than a little wet... and he smells a bit singed. It's likely quite different, but he doesn't seem to be aggressive.

She can likely easily hear Skyfire muttering "Cold water baths... joy." as he heads towards town. Though when he notices her, he pauses to wave in a friendly manner, hoping to avoid another misunderstanding.

[shyformerassistant]

Luckily for him, she waves back with a smile.

She's used to dragons at this point, plus one of her friends was a dragon so to her, it's not a big deal.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he walked closer looking a little embarrassed.

"You wouldn't happen to know of a library in the area by any chance would you? I find myself needing to locate information on dragons..."

[shyformerassistant]

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."
