Oh, right, this thing! So, this is a holographic telecommunications device, complete with camera, phone, and text messaging. Crafty little thing, though, looks like it has an automatic turn-on feature. For what, I don't know. Maybe it's like a candid automatic! Catches you doing embarrassing things, that's fab. You could record something and post it on Youtube, get a laugh out of--

Well, there isn't any Youtube here, is there? Which is really a shame. All those cat videos just out of reach. I suppose you could start a separate network to just share silly camera videos. Could you do that? Could we do that? Doesn't seem to be any rules to using this thing, does there? Let's see...

Oh, it's broadcasting.

Hello! [ he waves, grinning brightly. ] You know, it's a bit rude to eavesdrop. Then again, it's not your fault. Automatic turn-on feature, like I said. If you managed to hear that, earlier. Now, let's see! Who all is here, hmm? Could we have a roll call?

If that's possible. There is a commenting feature on this, isn't there? ... yes, there is. Thought so.

And don't be shy! We're all aliens here. Oh, right. Introductions. I'm the Doctor, the Caretaker, or, if you like, John Smith. No, nevermind, no, not John Smith. Just the Doctor. How about you all?

Oh, a pony? That's interesting.

[ and he actually sounds interested, not a bit of sarcasm in his voice. ]

'fraid I don't have any on me, I'm sure if there's a cat around, someone can make a video and share it with all of us, though. So, is that one big old name, or should I just call you Pinkie?

An earth pony, to be exact. Pinkie's what everypony-- er, everyperson?-- calls me, but my real full name is Pinkamina Diane Pie. [ She executes a someone clumsy curtsy. ] At your service!

[ And you've definitely given her an idea there. She's gonna be on the lookout for a cat. ]

Ooh, meaning there's different kinds of ponies, yes?

Everybody, really. It's very nice to meet you, Miss Pinkamina Daine Pie, Pinkie for short!

Yep! There are earth ponies, unicorn ponies, and pegasus ponies! And it's nice to meet you too, Mister Doctor John Caretaker Smith sir!

[ oh, he's pretty sure there's a distinct pattern to that. ]

Earth ponies have no wings or horns, unicorn ponies have a horn, pegasus ponies have wings and a horn? Is that how it goes?

Nope, only the Princesses have wings and a horn. Pegasus ponies just have wings.

Oh, I see!

Mind if I ask who the Princesses are?

Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna have ruled over Equestria foreeever. Princess Celestia raises the sun every morning, and Princess Luna raises the moon at night. Except for the thousand years when she was evil and trapped in the moon, but that's all better now, my friends and I fixed her!

Oh, manual star and moon propulsion-- that's fairly old but still timeless.

Though, she was trapped in the moon, not a very nice prison, to be honest. Your friends, are they here?

No, I don't think she liked it very much, 'cause then she broke out and tried to make Equestria have a neverending night! Buuut it wasn't really her fault. She was possessed by an evil spirit called Nightmare Moon. There's a whole night dedicated to her, where everyone dresses up and tells scary stories and goes door to door to get candy! It's the best holiday ever!

Some of my friends are here, and they all got turned "hyooman" too.

Ooh, sounds a bit like Halloween. Wonder what we'll celebrate, in that case. If we're here that long.

Pronunciation's a bit off, but yes, I'd imagine they are! Human seems to be the basic here.

That's what my friend Twilight said! She's in Odin's house 'cause she's really smart.

Are you a human too? Or are you one of those "alien" things you mentioned?

Oh, then I'll be meeting her soon. I'm in Odin's house as well.

Definitely alien.

That's great! Her name is Twilight Sparkle, and her mane is sort of a dark blue color with pink and purple stripes! You can't miss her.

Oh boy, my very first alien! Did you look different too, before you came here? 'Cause you look pretty human-y to me.

I'll be sure to meet her and tell her I've had a favorable reference from Pinkie.

No, I've looked the same. Insides're different. That's really what counts.

I wonder if my insides are any different. [ She looks down at her stomach, as though it could tell her something. ] Then again, I didn't really know what my insides looked like as a pony either.

Your insides are probably a bit different, unless your insides were different to begin with.

I guess they'd have to be, to fit in the new body... [ She looks pensive for maybe half a second before she shrugs and it's back to a grin. ]

Oh well! 'Least I've still got my cutie mark!

Cutie mark? What's that?

A cutie mark! You don't know what a cutie mark is? Cutie marks are something young ponies get when they figure out what it is they're good at!

[ She lifts the hem of her shirt to show what looks like a tattoo of three balloons on her hip. ] My specialty is throwing parties, see?

Do humans-- and, er, aliens not have cutie marks?

[ oh, that's interesting. ]

Nooo, not from what I know. Well. Some humans get tattoos, but they're not exactly the same, I'd figure. I'm afraid once we figure out what we're good at, we don't have a special marker.

Though, you're good at parties, you said?

That's me, your picture perfect party pony! (Patent pending.) Ever since I was a little filly, I've known that all I want to do is make people smile.

That's a noble aspiration if there ever was one, Pinkie.

Thanks, Doc!

I wonder what your cutie mark would be... What's your special talent?

Special talent--er...

Keeping time? [ that's a good way of putting it. ]
