001. video.

[skitters]

[The video feed flips on and there is A LOT of fumbling going on. There are few glimpses of tresses of long, pink hair and a yellow dress... and the sound of a voice from off-screen. It seems to have been touched completely by accident and the act of the touchscreen appearing has sent the owner into a frenzy.]

Oh gosh!!

Oh no! What's happening??

[As she brings her hand up and totally freezes, anyone watching will see a young lady with fair skin and pink hair staring into the "screen" with a deer-in-the-headlights expression.]

I-I-I--... Is anypony there? Please tell me that somepony is there...

Can this go away...? [More tinkering with her bracelet and her other hand comes up to swat at the holograph like it's some sort of horrible bug. Having it explained to her earlier did jack, apparently.]

Go away, please. Please turn off!

How do I--!

[She flails her arm around again and seems to shut the video portion off on her own. There's the sound of a crash and the audio is cut off as well.]

[disasterrific]

[Hey, Fluttershy, have a girl who sounds kinda like Twilight but is totally not!]

Pony? Do you know Spike?

[video]

[skitters]

[Give her a second. She doesn't really want to look into it quite yet... You get about half her face.]

Spike?

[Oh goodness.]

You know Spike...? The b-baby dragon?

[biifurcatiion]

Don't even wathte your time.

voice;

[skitters]

[no. no disembodied voices. no.]

W-What??

[video]

[prosecutory]

["Somepony", huh. She must be from the same world as Twilight Sparkle and Apple Bloom, and Applejack (who is no longer here). He most likely doesn't know that Rarity's with them too.

But anyway.]

I...see that you have already figured out how to switch your bracelet off.

[He clears his throat.]

If you come from a world of talking ponies, then I'm certain you have comrades here.

[video]

[skitters]

I do?

[That aside... Comrades? Comrades are good.]

You know more ponies? Or... Not... really ponies anymore. Can you tell me their names, please? If you know them, that is. Which I guess you probably do.

[wristbands]

... Wait, what about ponies?

video

[skitters]

Oh, um... I'm a pony.

Or I was... I guess. Did I confuse you? I'm sorry...

[video]

[attorneyatloud]

Hi. It's okay. There are some other--ponies here. [She looks and sounds so upset, he just can't not say something. He tries his best to sound reassuring.]

But not me. I'm not one, but I've met a couple unicorns. [This is so weird and awkward to talk about. He never in his life thought he would be having conversations like this.]

Something about this place makes--ponies--turn into humans. Like me. [And he points at himself.] I'm sorry about that.

[video]

[skitters]

So I'm a human?

[Whaaat those don't exist in Equestria???]

And the unicorns you've spoken to... What were their names?

[Twilight's popped up a few times. But what about Rarity?]

[ video ]

[myjunes]

[ Oh no, this person seems to be panicking-- maybe she should at least jump in to help..? ]

U-um..! Are you okay..?

[ video ]

[skitters]

[Thankfully a few of the messages have sort of helped. She's still jumpy as Hell but at least she's not... crying again.]

I-I think I'm okay. Just a little bit, though.

[mistersex]

[ there is a man with a concerned expression on the screen!!! ]

Are you alright?

video;

[skitters]

[Concerned man, have rattled girl!!]

I'm not really sure, to be honest...

video;

[darkbreak]

[Ponies... she's probably from Applebloom's world. Jeez, what a skittish little thing. She's going to give herself a heart attack.]

Easy now. The bracelet's not going to hurt you. It's a tool designed to help.

You okay?

video;

[skitters]

Um...!

[She lifts her hand and looks at the bracelet. Monster Bracelet, you will be the death of her......]

I feel a little better. Only a little... But that's something, right?

I didn't mean to cause a scene for you...

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

Miss? Are you okay?

[Video]

[skitters]

I'm sorry to have worried so many people...

I think I'm alright. I-I was just startled.

I'm still startled, but... Less so.

video

[waypastcool]

[Did she say pony? Well, Sonic is pinged!

So, Fluttershy, say hello to a blue creature that is distinctly not human at all. Also spiky. Very spiky.]

Hey, you're friends with Twilight, aren't ya? Guess showin' up here was a major shocker.

video

[skitters]

[What the heck are you?? You're not an animal she can distinctly name.]

Um, yes. I know Twilight from back home. I'm really just surprised. Did I make you upset...?

[video]

[miiracles]

[ "Pony", huh... she has talked to others that say similar. Like Apple Bloom. ]

Mii. Poor thing. Please calm down.

[video]

[skitters]

[She is still kind of shivery, but less......... flaily than before.]

I-I'm calm. I think.

Being in a new place is very scary.

video

[grows]

Huh? Fluttershy, 's that you?

video; applebloom! :DD

[skitters]

A-Applebloom??

[Oh gosh oh gosh this is exciting.]

You really are here. Thank goodness...

I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING s-sob

[sup]

[ Tentative nonchalant look, as per usual. ] Way to win the award for best freak-out. Or close-to-decent, anyway -- we don't get many of those "holy shit what did i do?! help me mama" around these parts.

SHHH it's all good :)

[skitters]

[Well fine, blonde boy. That kind of bothers her a lot and her eyes start to well up look what you did with that totally harmless comment.]

I-I'm sorry. Did it disturb you...? I really didn't mean to cause a scene like that. It just really, really sc-scared me...

[skitters]

Fluttershy blinks a few times at the text and scrunches up her face a little bit.]

Um... I'm okay...?
