[See Marui. See Marui bored out of his mind. He's staring directly at the screen when the feed turns on. Where is he? Hanging upside down off the edge of his bed~]

Doesn't this place have an amusement park or something? If not, it totally should.

[He grins.]

Anyone up for doing anything? They want color in this place, so might as well cause mischief and have fun, right? C'moooon. Kill your boredom with me~

[today on the network, there's a video of a purple-haired woman, looking impeccably styled and made up as usual. she'll clear her throat and wave to the camera before speaking up]

Hello, Asgard! If we haven't met already, my name is Rarity, and I do hope we'll all get along nicely! I hope all of you are settling in nicely since your arrival.

However, today I am not just here to introduce myself. I have a very important question!

Might anyone be familiar with the process of acquiring some real estate outside of the rooms we are given in our Houses? I am familiar with how to do so in Ponyville, but I assume acquiring any sort of establishment here may be a bit different! You see, I would rather like to open my boutique here, if possible ... !

[she sighs, wistfully recalling the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, where everything had been set up just the way she liked -- her studio, her shelves, the counter, the fitting room ... but she'll shake it off, and clasp her hands together with a smile]

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

[Trucy's been thinking over this whole newfound family thing since the big reveal, and surprise surprise, just thinking the same thing in circles wasn't being very productive, so she decided to try something new.]

Hey, does anyone here have a brother? What's he like??



[She goes to turn the feed off, only to stop at the last second to add:]

Also, since it doesn't look like we're all going home after all, does anyone need an entertainer for their shop? I can't provide references as they're all back home, but my talent speaks for itself.

Has anyone been to that fog-city yet? I know the area outside the wall's pretty dull, but I haven't had much time to explore too far. And who all is going to that party whatshisface mentioned?

[She is!]

[The video feed clicks on to the image of a boy wearing a golden laurel head wreath, a weird outfit, and…. those are definitely wings on his back, there’s no doubt about it.]

So this is like some super high-tech blog? Whoa, I could really use of one of these things! But I guess I’m using it now. Oh man, it’s like I’m talking to myself again. Not cool.

Anyway, I’m Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light! Guess there aren’t too many angels around here, huh? I can’t even contact Lady Palutena or any of the other Gods I know! I’ve never heard of any of the guys running this place before. Must be the quiet type. But if they called for me, it has to be pretty important! Well there’s no need to fear, Pit is here!

But you know, I think I could pass on the whole gray thing. Kind of brings back a few memories that I could do without, well, remembering. I guess I’ll just have to restore the colour myself! I bet I could even do it with one hand tied behind my back if I tried. Leave it to me!

[He finally pauses. It's about time.]

So what's all this stuff about exploring?
