1st Roundup [Voice]

[honestapplejack]

Uh...hallo? Anyone there? Oh nelly it sure is cold here. Even colder than when I went ta tha Crystal Empire tha first time. Brrrr.

How do ya'll even walk? I can't keep my balance, like I've been drinkin' too much cider or somethin'. It's gunna take me a while to figure out just how ta work this new body.

[There's a short pause for a moment.]

I can't even begin ta understand what happened ta me. This just ain't right, I tell ya. I don't understand what's going on here either, but I'll do my best ta help out.

[There's an even longer pause before something else is muttered, mostly to herself.]

I guess I should find some clothes...at least I still got my hat.

[She's not… naked, is she? The idea is not something that Irving likes.] There's a wardrobe at your Welcome House…

[honestapplejack]

[She is! And it doesn't bother her at all.]

Oh? There is? Thank ya!

[becauseichooseto]

[Just keep it voice and he'll be happy to assume that her not caring about it means that she's not naked.] You're quite welcome.

[Voice]

[honestapplejack]

[She's not going to change it.]

[proteanism]

[Excuse him as he turns the bracelet around in his hands before he finally figures this out. He's new at this.]

I'm assuming this means you've just arrived here. [Like him!] If you need help finding your way around, I'd be glad to help. It wouldn't be gentlemanly at all to leave a lady out in the cold.

[Voice]

[honestapplejack]

[She's still getting used to hands, Hans. How do you human?]

I'm just tryin' ta find my way ta...[She pauses for a moment] tha 'Thor' Welcome house.

[He will get such a surprise if he does meet her.]

[proteanism]

I’m new to the city myself, but I believe I can assist you. Do you know where you are now?

voice.

[unpuzzling]

[This new body. Peculiar. And new, from what he understands, compared to many others.]

What would you identify yourself as before?

[Voice]

[honestapplejack]

An Earth Pony

[Voice]

[unpuzzling]

A pony.

A talking pony, I presume.

[He wonders why a pony would take a different form, but not a troll. It's a matter to look into.]

[samantha_grey]

New body? [Nope, not going to think about the whole 'hat' thing.] I take it you aren't human originally? I know if the difference is large enough, they make a person human.

[Voice]

[honestapplejack]

Nope. Wasn't like this back home. I was an Earth Pony.

[Voice]

[samantha_grey]

You... were a horse? What is this, Gulliver's Travels?!? [She rubbed her forehead.] Were you some sort of magical horse, or did they actually give you a ... I don't know, boost?

[morphitudinous]

[Billy looks worried when he finally activates the feed to reply himself.]

I can't even begin to imagine how disorienting that must be. Are you feeling ill?

[Voice/Video]

[honestapplejack]

I don't feel sick. Just cold.

[The feed then goes to video, she's finally figured out just what to do! Yay! She's just a blonde with freckles and a cowboy hat on.]

I think I got tha hang of walkin...fer the most part.

[Voice/Video]

[morphitudinous]

I felt that way too, actually. I was definitely underdressed for the weather!

[He nods, admiring the hat and unaware of how relevant that might be.]

I wouldn't know how to use new limbs---you probably recovered more quickly than I would! That's a lot to throw at someone all at once.

[Voice]

[tonsofpun]

[WOAH HEY A FAMILIAR ACCENT and oh wow, poor lady must be cold. Ellie tries to bite back on laughing. Serious matter. Serious.]

Shit, they didn't give you clothes at the castle?

And what do you mean, new-

[As she listens to the rest of the chatter.]

... a pony? Really? A pony with a hat?

[Voice]

[honestapplejack]

Well, I ain't nopony anymore.

But I do got my hat.

[Voice]

[tonsofpun]

... all right.

[She's had too much Network today. Officially the weirdest thing she's seen so far. Yep.]

Uh. Hi, I'm Ellie.

[faceofbeau]

[There's an amused grin on Jack's face, and his voice is cheerful, and helpful.] Clothes would probably be a good place to start. Not sure what you're used to where you're from, but most of the people here get flustered if you go around without them. They also help with that cold you're experiencing. The human body's not the best at relegating temperature in the cold.

[Video]

[honestapplejack]

[The blond tilts her hat a bit so that she can get a better view of the screen.]

There are someponies who like ta wear tha latest fashions, but I usually just got my hat. I'll get dressed up if there's some fancy party I gotta go ta, but that don't happen often.

[Video]

[faceofbeau]

'Someponies,' huh? [There's a bit of a curious look, a tilt of his head.] Sounds like you come from a different type of culture than what's the norm around here.


[OOC: I am SO sorry for the late, omg.]

[iin2ufferable]

Find some clothes...

[ Clearly that's the obvious takeaway here. ]

Yeah. Do that. No one wants to see you walking around naked.

[honestapplejack]

That's what I'm tryin' ta do.

[iin2ufferable]

Apparently they give you some. In your closet.

[ He himself did not know this for the first few weeks, so it seems pertinent. ]
