first chapter: [video]

[studere.livejournal.com]

[ The video feed turns on to a rather nervous-looking girl in her late teens, though that nervousness is momentarily replaced by a grin. After all, she finally figured out how to work this thing properly. Figuring something out is always something worth celebrating, at least for Twilight Sparkle.

Still, her somber expression returns. ] I wanted to thank everypony who helped me out when we all first arrived. I've gotten much better at walking since then! Really. [ Because obviously they won't believe her unless she adds in that "really." ]

But... [ And this is really where she looks worried again... ] has anypony been outside today? There's clouds out there, and I am one-hundred percent certain nopony put them there. They're even moving all on their own...!

But nopony else has even mentioned it! Don't you all find this strange?!

[ Twilight bites her bottom lip for a moment, but presses on. ] It's strange enough that the sun and moon can rise without Princess Celestia or Princess Luna, but... do you suppose the patron gods are doing all of it? Raising the sun, and the moon, and moving the clouds... creating the weather...?

[ And finally, a large sigh. ] Really, this is such a strange place.

[video] hello, purple haired pony who sounds vaguely like Rikku XD

[Slightly confused]

Uh...the sun and clouds and stuff are supposed to move on their own. No one does it.

[video] well howdy

[studere.livejournal.com]

They are most definitely not supposed to move on their own. Thaaat's really not at all natural. [ Even if that's how it works in the Everfree Forest. ]

[solidad]

Everypony?

Why wouldn't the clouds move on their own? Um... hm. The patron gods... maybe they are.

video;

[studere.livejournal.com]

If they're using their magic to move the clouds, and the sun, and the moon... well, I suppose I can accept that. But things don't move unless something makes them move. That is just a basic law of nature.

His life isn't complete without more ponies.

[whatoncewashers.livejournal.com]

Every. Pony?

everything is better with ponies?

[studere.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh! I'm sorry. I suppose I should use the phrase "everyhuman" now, shouldn't I?

[video]

[verifies]

You're a pony...?

[ there was someone he was supposed to be looking for, wasn't there? what was the name again... hm... ]

You wouldn't happen to be Sweetie Belle, would you?

[video]

[studere.livejournal.com]

Sweetie Belle? Oh, no, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

Sweetie Belle is the little sister of a good friend of mine, though.

Hou, you have a strange manner of speech, girl! "Everypony" and "nopony?" It sounds quite unusual to my ears!

But the weather, that depends on what you believe. The gods may be in charge of it, certainly, but a young friend of mine insists that it falls in the realm of science. But that's all a matter of belief! There's no one that we know of for certain that puts these things in place, I mean!

video

[studere.livejournal.com]

Well, that's certainly not true. Back in Equestria, my good friend was part of the weather team, and it was my teacher who made the sun rise every morning.

Now, if we're specifically talking about here, then you're right. That's the entire point I was bringing up, after all. [ Aaaand she gives a self-satisfied nod there. ]

[ it's a miracle that AJ knows how to work her bracelet. because anything more complicated than a plow is lost to her. but with the help of her house she at least knows how to work video! ]

Am I doin' this right? Twi, can. you. hear. me?

video

[studere.livejournal.com]

I can hear you just fine, Applejack.

[ She gives her friend a smile. ] How are you adjusting?

[video]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait, wait. Ponies control the weather? Since when?

[He looks totally floored here. Twilight, what?]

[video]

[studere.livejournal.com]

Well, the Princesses control the sun and moon. And pegasus ponies are in charge of controlling the weather.

Or at least, that's the way it is back home. I'm not sure who controls the weather here.

[betweenpaths.livejournal.com]

...Pony?

The clouds and the sun all move on their own. No one just puts them there. Same with the moon and sun.

It could be possible that the gods are doing it, but mostly, it just happens on its own.

[studere.livejournal.com]

[ Pause. Dis face right here? She's makin' it. ] What kind of crazy science are they teaching you guys?

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

If the clouds didn't move on their own, we would have much bigger problems than being stuck here. But why would it be strange for them to move on their own?

[studere.livejournal.com]

[ Man, Twilight didn't expect this much rebuttal from something she considered so simple and elementary. Really, this was the kind of thing they taught in magic kindergarten. ]

How else would they move, if nopony's moving them?

[vidya]

[dressmakes.livejournal.com]

Yes, you know, I was just wondering the same thing ... Perhaps the patron gods of our houses might know?

[vidya]

[studere.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh!

You know, I haven't even had the chance to meet mine.

[action]

[glaremaster.livejournal.com]

[This guy was contemplating a reply, but then he recognized that the person sending the transmission was in his own Welcome Hall. He had even seen her once or twice, possibly.

So hi, have a very frilly and fabulous prosecutor coming down the stairs.]

...I'm quite certain the weather needs no assistance. From "anypony", as you put it.

[Judging from the way he said "anypony", it's clear he wants an explanation.]

[action] ...oh mister edgeworth /swoon

[studere.livejournal.com]

[ Aaand Twilight was simply sitting down, the holographic image from her bracelet in front of her. And small owl was perched on top of a nearby reading lamp.

She turned her head when Edgeworth spoke, looking over at him. He was very... frilly. It reminded her of a Canterlot pony, really.

Still, she offered him a genuine smile. ]

Oh, my apologies. The correct term would be "anyhuman," right? I'm afraid that will still take some getting used to.

[volcanoes]

Clouds don't need anyone to move them. The sun and moon don't either. Weather works on its own, too.

[studere.livejournal.com]

That's not how it's supposed to work...

THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

Do ponies do everything in your world?

CLEARLY

[studere.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, not everything. [ Actually, it pretty much is everything. ] Buuut we definitely have to do the weather.

Who does the weather where you're from?

voice.

[therangerking.livejournal.com]

[ He would just go to the Hall to meet her, but unfortunately, he's not in the Hall. He's walking. Again. ]

The clouds move by the winds, and the Eru Ilúvatar guides the sun. I doubt horses - or humans - are able to control them at all.

video.

[studere.livejournal.com]

Oh! This "Eru Iluvator" must be like my Princess Celestia, then. She moves the sun in Equestria.

And others have told me that the wind moves the clouds as well. But who creates the winds that do move the clouds here? Or where you are from, for that matter.

[Video]

[defiedhisfate.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

They're clouds. They do that on their own.

[Video]

[studere.livejournal.com]

Clouds don't move on their own. Not naturally. It would be like winter ending on its own, or animals taking care of themselves.

video; ALSO AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

[bosses]

Why the fuck do you keep saying pony?

video; THIS IS CLEARLY THE BEST WAY TO MEET.

[smartwinchester.livejournal.com]

She's saying pony because she is one, genius.

She's a kid. You're not. Cut the attitude and language and act like it.

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! How's all that stuff working?

Maybe there's some unicorn somewhere doin' all that, but nopony know 'bout it? Like, she's doin' it in secret!

[studere.livejournal.com]

Or the patron gods here are doing it. If they can bring us all here and give us these new bodies, I'm sure they must be powerful enough magic users to do this. [ That's her current theory! And it makes more sense than "the wind does it" and crap. "A wizard did it" is much better. ]

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

[Chihaya's going to focus on what is, hands down, the most important part of Twilight's feed, her face carefully blank.]

... did you just say... 'anypony'...?

[Video]

[studere.livejournal.com]

Yes! Yes I did.
