Entry 001 [Visual/Action]

[Anyone looking at the visual feed on the scroll will get an interesting view... That of a large dragon's nose, foot, tail... whatever it is that he can use to try and open the scroll with and get a good look at it.]

Hmmm... there has got to be some way to get this open without shredding it...

[Anyone coming across him on foot er, hoof, will get an even odder sight. A thirty foot long, white and red dragon with blue horns, trying to figure out how to open a scroll without turning it into confetti...]

A communications device perhaps? [He gets a better look at the scroll, but might get a little too close. Hope anyone watching likes that extreme closeup image of a bright blue eye staring out at them.]

I wonder if this has anything to do with my change of composition? [He'd just started to get used to the fact that he was dragon shaped after crashing on Earth... Waking up in another place with the same appearance, but yet a fully organic body... He really was not looking forward to relearning his own body again... As much as he liked science and learning new things, he really wished at times...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[While coming across dragons on the road was quickly becoming a commonplace event, one like this was rather rare. This unicorn can't help but comment on the situation.]

Hm. An Eastern-style dragon. I have not seen that here before.

Nevertheless, you are correct. It is a magic-based communication device for use in Equestria. It does not have anything to do with your change of form, however.

[He stops fiddling with the scroll to turn his head and look over at the unicorn, hoping to get a little more information.]

Equestria? Is that what this place is called? I'm sorry if I seem a little confused, but... I have no idea how I got here... Or how I've suddenly become organic.

[He looks a little sheepish, but she seems like she might know a bit about what's going on. Talking horses was definitely not what he was expecting when he woke up today.] If it's not too much of trouble... Might I bother you for an explanation of where I am, and if you have knowledge of what happened to me... I would much appreciate any information you are willing to share.

I'm assuming by your choice of words that you are another robot that has found their way here. Rather interesting...

[She considers looking more into it with questions of her own, but it might be best to answer the dragon's first.]

Like many others here, myself included, you were transported here by an as-of-yet unknown magic, signified by the presence of rainbows. We are still investigating the reasons and mechanisms as to why this happens. As for your change, I am conjecturing that it is another part of that same spell. If you are not a species- or any sapient, in your case- that appears natively in this world it alters your physiology to rectify that.

Another? That is interesting... [If there were other Cybertronians here, perhaps...]

This has to be one of the most fascinating things I've ever heard of... [He looks down at himself again and tries to sheath his claws once more.] ... It will take a lot of getting used to, but fascinating none the less.

[Skyfire looked rather embarrassed as he realized that he'd not introduced himself yet.]

I seem to have forgotten my manners... My name is Skyfire. Thank you for helping begin to understand the situation. [He'd be doing a lot of investigating on his on soon, that was certain... He just needed to get used to being made of bone, muscle and tissue, instead of supports, wires and synthetic 'flesh'. How do you keep from bumping into things without proximity sensors for one thing...]

We are all in the same situation. It would be a disservice to both you and myself if I did not share what information I have. I am Patchouli Knowledge, Librarian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It is a pleasure.

[His ears perk up a bit at the mention of a library, but doesn't ask about it... yet.]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well. If there is anything I can assist you with later, please ask. I don't know how much help I'll be until I figure out this body though.

[Skyfire chuckles a little and then sighs. At least the basics like breathing were automatic...]

It is a matter of practice, but I would suggest you not overthink it. Instincts can prove quite useful in this situation.

Unfortunately, my instincts are not allowing me to keep my claws retracted... I... I can't walk like this...

[At least not without tearing up what he's walking on...]

I am unable to help you in that regard. However, perhaps you are able to fly? It is a common ability for serpentine dragons such as yourself.

While I am able to... I should perhaps learn control over myself first... [He looks a little unsure] You don't think it would bother anyone if I stay put here for a bit? At my size... crashing would not be a good thing for anyone involved.

[Skyfire keeps working on getting his claws to stay retracted.]

I would not bother me very much, but I cannot speak for all the residents. Perhaps you may work your way to the outskirts of town, where there is more room and less chance of incurring property damage charges.

[She points a hoof in the direction towards the nearest end of Ponyville.]

The roads are mostly dirt, so inadvertently clawing them would not cause any trouble.

[He gives her a small, but obviously grateful smile.]

Thank you. I don't want to make anyone angry with me for ruining their property... The last time I was near a town... it... didn't go so well. [His voice was rather sheepish sounding as he admitted that.]

[Skyfire didn't want to bother her for any longer than he already had, but he wouldn't complain if she wanted to remain and talk longer. He had to get that scroll rolled back up though... that was going to take some trial and error now that he was missing a lot of his sensors.]

You will have to get used to it. This town seems to be the epicenter of many events that involve those of us from off-world, whether we want to be or not.

[He nodded as he managed to get control of his front claws long enough to roll up the scroll and put it away in one of the leather bags under his wings.]

As long as I am welcome, I have no problems coming to it... It seems that here at least I'll not be shot at for trying to talk to someone or attempting to visit a town.

[Seems like someone has had a rather rough time of it before arriving here.]

...You have been shot at before for entering a town?

[She probably shouldn't be surprised, but still.]

Yes, unfortunately.

[He sighs]

My size and shape seemed to cause a lot of issues. It's been a long time since anyone has come up to me without being afraid of me. [That smile on his face? It's one of gratitude for treating him like he was normal, not a monster.]

[Dealing casually with 'monsters' and the like is... pretty normal for Patchy, really.]

Perhaps, then, you are trying to consort with the wrong company.

[He shakes his head and chuckles rather sadly.]

Perhaps... but even the wrong company can be better than no company at all. [He had a choice of humans or animals, and animals weren't really conversationalists back on 'his' earth...]

Can be. Such has not been the case, in my experience.

[Of course, she's a recluse by nature so there may be a bit of a bias there.]

If you ever live to be as old as I am, you'll find it to be true soon enough.

[He was older than humanity and most of the life on Earth after all.]

Maybe, maybe not. Such views can vary by species, after all. ...Regardless of current form, of course.

True... Perhaps I'm becoming a bit jaded...

It is rather difficult not to, after seeing and experiencing no doubt many different things. Very common, where I come from.

[Skyfire nodded and then sighed as he looked around.]

I suppose I should get going... I need to find somewhere to sleep yet tonight.

There are plenty of prospective places immediately outside town, depending on your preferences. The fields to the southwest, the forest to the southeast, or any of the various mountain ranges you can see from here.
