001 - Sew Disoriented [Voice/Action]
[A scream can be heard from the river bank. After waking up in Luceti for the first time, Rarity has found herself covered in mud and it is horrible.]
It's everywhere! Get it off, get it off! [She shakes frantically, trying to get it off, but after laying there for so long a lot of it has crusted.] Ugh, I just perfected this perm yesterday! ( Read more... )

Due to the fact that Rarity's journal likely is somewhere where she herself isn't visible, Robert can't tell what the panic is for. So he reacts to it like he would any crisis.]
Please try to remain rational...
What exactly is the matter? [The position of the journal honestly doesn't help. Robert kind of wishes it was on video, just so he'd be able to identify what was actually going on.] I might be able to be of more assistance were you to get within the viewing range of the journal's camera...
Can you give me a description of the area you are in? I can come assist you, if you need it. Failing that, I could perhaps elaborate where you are...

[And then, frantically.] I can't get in front of a camera looking like this! I'm positively filthy. If I were to get on camera, I'd be a laughingstock for the rest of my life! My career would be ruined!

... However, I can understand why you would be perturbed by a lack of cleanliness. The chance of infection is undubitably alarming. [Spoken by the guy with compulsive cleaning drives, of course.]
But clearly the most logical thing to do is to ascertain your position, and I cannot do so with your journal failing to broadcast your location.

Right now I am at the edge of a river, but I can't be sure where that is. I'm not anywhere in Equestria that I know of.

[He pauses thoughtfully at the next part.] Near the edge of a river... [He knows exactly where the river is, but it would take hours to search the entire thing.
Then Rarity's last words grab his attention.]

... Ah, you must be a New Feather - that is the term for those individuals who have been recently indicted into Luceti.
I regret to inform you that you are indeed nowhere near "Equestria", and in fact are not even on the same planet... or in the same multiverse, for that matter.

[Oh dear, that sounds ominous.] A New Feather? Is that because I've ended up with wings?
[She's following, but...] What exactly is a multiverse?

But clearly zie's in distress and that is the more important issue to deal with at the moment.]
I assure you, there are far worse ordeals that you can, and likely will, experience here. [His voice is cold and dark when he says this; the memories of the last experiment still hurt.]
... But without exaggerating the gravity of your current situation, you are still in need of assistance. Most New Feathers are. In fact, there are stations for dealing with New Feathers, and a building known as the Welcome Centre dedicated to giving preliminary housing and the like...
Yes, the term does come from the wings, I'd expect. It is a rather ridiculous term, but it works well enough for my purposes.
[Robert blinks at the next part. Okay, somebody who hasn't heard of multiverses... this is like Cameron all over again.]A multiverse is a single expression of one of the many billions of possibilities of ( ... )
