[when the feed comes on, it is sudden and scratchy, lying at an angle on the floor. it's obviously been knocked over]

--My goodness! This just can't be? Where am I?! Oh dear! Why, this is certainly not Ponyville at all!

[little white legs run across the screen to the right, accompanied by trotting noises]

And this can't be my room! [then to the

[video] - and he makes it worse

[There's a blond cowboy just staring with his jaw slack at you through the screen, Rarity. Within moments, he's shaking as if he's about to cry with sheer joy from the sight of your hooves and the sound they make upon the floor. There's no mistaking that clop clop noise.]

Oh man, oh man, I... No way... It's gotta be... And you can even talk... oh man... [He takes a deep breath.] H-Heeey, Widow-maker, is that you, ol' buddy, ol' pal?! It's your bestest best partner, Pecos Bill, I mean- I'm not really him but I'm doing his job so- aw dude, this is just freaking awesome! You sound lost! No worries, okay?! I'll come find you even if I gotta look everywhere in this crazy place!

[the feet stop moving]

What? Who's that? Who's there?!

[video]

[fastfoodfreedom]

Down here, buddy! Heeeey! Guess you're not used to this thing yet, huh, Widow-maker? Then again, it's not like horses normally call each other on stuff like this, ha ha ha ha! Can you see me? [He waves cheerfully.]

[what a loud pony... she turns around until she follows the sound of the voice. Oh? slowly she tips the communicator upright with her hoof, and then gets on the floor]

Why... you're not a pony at all!

[byfateshand]

A pony? You're really a pony?

[video]

[therarestgem]

[by now, she's found out that she can communicate with other people this way. she is lying on the floor so that she is eye level with the item]

Of course I am! Are you really a human?

[video]

[byfateshand]

Ooooh. You're so cute, too, heehee.

Mm. I am. You've never talked to a human before?

[video]

[therarestgem]

Never, though I have heard of them. There are tales of humans that knew my ancestors in the library.

[bluecurtains]

[ ... well, you don't see a talking pony everyday. But Minato's seen stranger, so aside from a bit of blinking at what he sees of Rarity in her pacing, he's not even going to comment on what she is. Besides, it doesn't really matter, because in the end, she's apparently just another poor soul pulled out of her own world to be a plaything of magical beings here. And she seems rather upset and lost. ]

Calm down and take a deep breath.

You're on an island called Arcanarum, and there should be a letter somewhere in your room from the rulers of this place that explains why you've been brought here.

[video]

[therarestgem]

[another human. this just makes Rarity even more worried...]

A... a letter?

[video]

[bluecurtains]

Mm. As far as I'm aware, everyone who is brought here should find a note written on parchment somewhere in their room, ah... welcoming them to Arcanarum. You should read that, and then I can answer any questions you have, if you wish.

[video]

[therarestgem]

I see... [she stands up and starts looking for the letter... she sort of trashed the room] A note, a note... Ah!

[she picks up the note in her mouth and then goes back to lie on the floor to read it, in front of the screen] Let's see... It says I'm here to... replace a young daughter...?

[redoable]

[First a dragon-like thing and a guy with a tail and a supposed bodyguard as a god now a. horse like thing?

oh god.]

What...! What are you supposed to be?!

[video]

[therarestgem]

[so many humans... she shakes out her long curly mane, as though she were insulted]

I, sir, am a pony. Or, to be more precise, a unicorn.

[video]

[redoable]

I can see that! It's just... how do you even exist?! And talking?! Science doesn't allow for your existence!

[video]

[therarestgem]

Science? What does that have to do with anything?

[audio]

[bearable]

Calm down, fair maiden, for you are in the land of Arcanarum, the place where all your dreams will come true!

[ he says this in an attempted deep voice, like an announcer ]

[video]

[therarestgem]

[she hears a voice and she looks around, back and forth] Who's there?!

[video]

[bearable]

It's me, the bear you want your stud to be!

[video]

[therarestgem]

My stud?
