[Some people might recognize the short green unicorn with the yellow spotting on his flank. His purple eye mask is currently up near his horn, and he took off the yellow outfit. Somehow.]

All right then, assuming this is...not...the middle of a disassociated hallucination...and I really am a pony...

...Not that I'm saying I'm in complete denial that it's possible that I'm really a pony. Just that I've had a not-so-great history recently with...well...

[Come on, Don. Focus.]

I guess my question is whether there are any newcomers who were suddenly bombarded with memories of being in other places they didn't recall being in beforehand. For example, you were brought to another dimension or universe, only to wake here and suddenly have memories of being in a second, or even third place simultaneously, even though you didn't recall being in such places simultaneously. Meeting people who, here, don't recognize you, and vice versa.

[A pause.]

Er, and that being said, is there anyone who knows anyone else claiming to have been a turtle aside from me?

Comments

[millionbitpipes]

...no. I don't.

[Yeah okay that is suspicion]

Where're you sayin' you met us?

[polyturtle]

I met you and Liz in a city called Kon Ran. I...didn't know you very well, only for a few days. But Liz...Liz I knew for over a year.

[millionbitpipes]

Really.

You two were friends? What happened there? I ain't never heard of a Kon Ran...

[polyturtle]

Yeah, we were.

[Where to even start.]

Kon Ran's a city in China...a China, at least. She and I - several others, actually - we were told we were other people and that our memories of who we were before we woke up were due to disassociative trauma. Liz and I woke up around the same time; you'd woken up during the zombie invasion.

[millionbitpipes]

...the zombie invasion.

[polyturtle]

...Yeah. The zombie invasion.

[millionbitpipes]

...you don't wanna elaborate on that?

[polyturtle]

Not entirely. Not right now.

[millionbitpipes]

[He raises an eyebrow. Well...he guesses he can understand that.]

Fine, but was Iron alright?

[polyturtle]

[Well, that might be a good thing because everything else coming out of Don's mouth might not be.]

She was...she was all right. Disoriented after what happened after the invasion, but all right.

[millionbitpipes]

...good.

[Though he's giving Don a look that says he doesn't entirely believe him.] Anythin' else you wanna share?

[polyturtle]

Not...not on this network.

[A sigh.]

I'd kind of prefer to tell Liz about it, since I'm not the only one who's come here and had experience in that place. Its...complicated.

[millionbitpipes]

Well, ain't that comfortin'.

[He looks around, inspecting the faces of the unfamiliar ponies passing.] If there's someone walkin' around here she needs to know about, you better go find her now.

[polyturtle]

[Sigh.]

I know. I just need to figure out how to approach her about everything.

[millionbitpipes]

[He arches an eyebrow.]

Well, she ain't gonna thank ya for waitin'. She ain't in any danger, is she?
