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 Haurchefant knew, before appearing, was that more chaos was to spread in his realm. Oh, and two Ascian were dead, destroyed by his dear Warriors of Light. He'd clapped from afar, invisibly! It was a splendid show, taking down such corruptness - even if they'd have more to deal with.

But now... he was in another body? Maybe there'd been something going wrong, but... oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. There were horses everywhere. Not just horses, but winged ones and horned ones and--!!

So, uh. Don't mind the off-white unicorn just staring, eyes wide - and grinning, like some form of creepy voyeur - finally speaking up. "--Can you understand my speech?"

[triceratrots]

"Again? These interludes will never end, will they?"

That was about all Billy had to say on the subject. He was quite used to chaos in his life, between monster attacks, space adventures, and a previous round in Ponyville, but his life kept upping the ante.

He kept his distance from the damaged structures, awkwardly picking up his hoof to wave. And try not to trip over a---whoa. He stumbled right in front of someone, reaching up to adjust his glasses with a hoof.

"Excuse me. Somewhat inexperienced quadruped coming through?"

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?"

((Ooc: Small heads up, Skyfire here has a memory reboot of any MLJ CR/memories. If he knew them from there he won't remember them, but should eventually if he spends time with them.))

Over on one side of the town it would be pretty hard to miss the large white and red dragon looking dazed as well as confused. Hadn't he just been flying? What happened? Skyfire was also having a bit of difficulty getting his body to cooperate.

With a head that was almost as large as an average pony and being sized appropriately to that, he's big enough that he could be considered a threat... Still, he doesn't make any aggressive moves and looks at his paws then his wings as well as body curiously, without getting up.

"Lets see... It shouldn't be that different to move... The shape is similar enough." He's speaking more to himself, but loud enough that anyone could hear him.

Sunset Shimmer was as startled as many of the other new ponies, but for a somewhat different reason. She didn't come back through the portal! Princess Twilight didn't summon her, and she sure as a sugarcube wasn't prepared to face Princess Celestia today.

But many of her friends from CHS were here, as she'd found. It was her responsibility to look after them and see to it that everypony was safe and comfortable, and she would do that. It would also help to make a good first impression---the other ponies were sure to hear about her past, so she'd have to try to be the very best she could be.

"Hey there everypony. Good to be back, yeah. Hi!"

But to any of her friends, she'd say:

"Hey, girls! We should probably discuss where you're going to sleep."

[emet_selch]

...oh my gosh they even called each other everybody instead of everyone. Was this... some form of afterlife? Don't mind the unicorn bounding up, before pausing. "You've been to this realm before?"

Haurchefant has to catch himself. Can't... call it a shard, just in case it isn't.

[emet_selch]

Now, for most Ishgardians, seeing a dragon of any kind would be a cause for concern. But instead - of course - Haurchefant isn't most Ishgardians. So have a Unicorn bounding over, stopping... a safe distance away.

Listen, he's still a little nervous. "What are you to do, once you rise?"

[emet_selch]

"...Only somewhat? Dear friend," haurchefant you aren't even a FRIEND yet, "have you some?"

[emet_selch]

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."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Looking around for the source of the voice, Skyfire can't help but blink a little as he realizes that there is a horse talking to him... Or perhaps a unicorn? It did have a horn.

"Figure out how to walk without tripping over, or stepping on, my wings or tail, and then figure out where I am... Though if you know the answer to the latter, I would be grateful if you would enlighten me." It's fairly clear that Skyfire isn't used to having a unicorn speak to him, but he's doing his best to take the unusual situation in stride.

Well. This certainly isn't the Temple! Amelie will just do a quick run down. Okay, she's...still got her Gem, huh. Quick check...hoops are still there! Hm. Glancing around, Amelie trots over to a nearby window and inspects her reflection curiously. Okay, still have tiny pink hearts for pupils, annnnd...she's a pony. Like Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

Well. That's unexpected.

Amelie blinks a few times before putting her thoughts into words.

"I think this might be the third strangest thing I've ever woken up as."

[cidery]

Apple in the meantime was quietly inspecting herself as well. Soft white hooves, bouncy mane, horn on her head, she looked fine. Her gem was intact and that's all that mattered.

Getting up she looked around until noticing Amelie there, that fashion sense was familiar to her. "Amelie!" She called out.

[usedpartycannon]

"Can we have bunk beds?" asked Pinkie, bouncing in place like a tigger. It seemed that Pinkie had adjusted well to the cartoon physics of the world, and was even more of a spastic amount of energy.

"I get top bunk!"

[cidery]

"Yes, I can," replied Apple, having noticed his gaze. He seemed all right, nothing dangerous was pricking at her senses but he seemed like a kid in a candy store.

"Are you all right?"

[explosions_are_awesome]

Megumin wasn't prone to panic attacks, but she had been in the middle of finding a place to Explosion on. Her hooves were twitchy and she darted her eyes from side to side, clutching her staff in a telekinetic grip.

"Must... Explosion..." murmured Megumin, bumping into people as she went. "Explosion first, food next and then finding out where I am later."

[onaroll]

"Apple!"

YES GOOD APPLE IS HERE. Things are already looking up!

Amelie will just cuddle up to her girlfriend, because hey she woke up a pony and physical affection is the best way to deal with involuntary shapeshifting.

A distant part of Amelie's brain muses on the fact that 'involuntary shapeshifting' is such a common occurrence she actually does know the best way to deal with it.

[cidery]

Apple cuddled against Amelie with a giggle. "Glad you're here. Do you have any idea where we might be by any chance?"

Since Apple hadn't met the ponies beforehand, she wasn't sure what this place was.

[onaroll]

Amelie nods happily.

"This looks like...ah, Equestria, I think it is called? Two of the Gems from before you showed up were from here."

[cidery]

"Equestria. That's pretty on the nose. I guess changing into the native species is a good way to blend in."

Apple glanced herself over for a moment before smiling. "We look pretty good."

[onaroll]

"You always look good, ma chérie!"

Pause.

"I will admit, this shade of pink looks particularly fetching on me."

[cidery]

"It's a beautiful shade of pink!" Exclaimed Apple with a wide smile. "It's such a nice color."

"I didn't realize my last name would be taken so literally though." she added. "How will I keep my fur clean?"

[onaroll]

This, at least, is something Amelie has experience with. Inspecting both her own and Apple's fur, she takes note of its texture.

"Our fur is quite fine, there's just so much of it...hmm."

There's a slight pause as she goes over options before nodding to herself.

"I think I have a good idea of how to do that!"

[cidery]

"Oh ho?" That sounded like an invite to something fun and somewhat daring.

"What did you want to do?"

She had a good idea.

[onaroll]

“Well...”

Amelie drags it out, a teasing grin on her muzzle.

“It’ll be just like when I brush your hair for you, except now it’s your entire body! And, well, I’ll have to pay very close attention to, ah...every millimeter while I’m doing so, because naturally these bodies are strange and unfamiliar to us.”

Butter would not melt in Amelie’s mouth, she looks so innocent. Amelie will trust that Apple has already worked out the bits she very pointedly didn’t say.

[cidery]

Oh my.

"We're going to have to find some things for this, just to make sure it's easy to do."

Taking Amelie's hoof in hers, she giggled. "Let's go."
