1st Confession: This Was Not What I Expected (Action / Visual / Action)

[ A red pegasus materializes on Monday morning in the fields outside of Ponyville and she stays there. She sits quietly, eyes closed, waiting for judgment. It's surely coming. There's only one place this can be.

... She gets bored eventually, and attacks the Pocky sitting beside her. That's when she notices she still has her soul gem. ]

[Ponyville is later treated to a short visual message from the newcomer. Kyouko's holding the scroll... sideways. ]

Kay, what the buck are you? [ Her mouth moves wordlessly for a moment. ] Buck. BUCK. The heck? ... Heck. HECK.

Why the buck can't I curse??

[ Kyouko goes stalking through the town shortly afterwards, randomly accosting ponies to question them. ] Hey! You!

[ Kyouko's mouth hangs open for a few moments as she stares at the dragon. It lasts until she pushes his claw roughly away and turns back to her previous pose: sitting quietly, eyes closed. ]

What do you want?

[strawberryredgrave]

Figured you ought to know you can ask for a cup of sugar, if you need it.

[kuukai]

Uh... [ What? ] Who are you?

[strawberryredgrave]

Dante. You're new here, right? Figured you should know that weird shit's been going on for a year and you're not the first to wake up with hooves.

[kuukai]

Dante. [ Like The Inferno. ] This is the weirdest bucking circle of hell ever.

[strawberryredgrave]

You get used to it. (Like how he's getting used to all of these damn poet jokes.)

On the plus side, there aren't as many demons here as there are in actual Hell. There's just the storm demon, the overlord and yours truly.

(He bows, almost sarcastically.)

[kuukai]

[ Frown. ] So... you are in charge. [ She crosses her front hooves (hooves, how long until she gets used to that?). ] Here to judge me?

[strawberryredgrave]

(The dragon throws his hands up.)

Whoa...slow down there, kid. The only thing I'm in charge of is me. Besides, I don't go around judging people I don't know anything about.

[kuukai]

This is hell, you're a demon. What are ya, then. Escort? Bet I already know my way around here fine. Not like I wasn't expecting it anyway.

[strawberryredgrave]

It's not an actual Hell. It's Equestria, home to a bunch of colorful, friendship loving ponies. They sing, they dance, they even make pretty good cider.

...Meaning if none of that's your thing, then maybe it's some sort of Hell to you.

[kuukai]

[ Kyouko sits for a minute. Then she finally gets up and turns around to face him. ]

That doesn't sound like the kind of place I should have been sent after I died.

[strawberryredgrave]

It's not the kind of place anyone would expect to go to. You just wake up here and roll with it.

[kuukai]

Did you die? [ That's important. ] Cause otherwise I don't get what the heck's goin' on here.

[strawberryredgrave]

Nah, not me. There aren't too many things that can kill me. All you need to know is some pony death goddess brought us here, whether or not you're dead.

[kuukai]

... Yer serious? The heck is this place, anyway?
