[A new face! And he's not happy. It's not that he's freaking out or furious or anything just... He's so done.]

Y'know, this was cute for about a minute or two. And I gotta hand it to you: This is one of the more creative kidnapping plots I've ever seen. So Kudos for that. I can tell you put a lotta work in it, baby!

The branding thing, though? If that was supposed to be funny, I am not laughing. Listen, you've got one hour to undo this weird little fairytale ransom of yours, or... well. Let's just say things ain't gonna turn out good for you. Trust me, you'd rather be dealin' with me than my bosses. This ain't gonna fly with them.

Oh, and one more thing? Work on your themeing. Whether you're goin' the hero route or villain, I don't really care... But this whole unicorn torture thing is about as intimidating as a baby butterfly.

Anyway, call back. It's in your best interests.

[An orange mouse peers into his scroll.]

I'm afraid the new form you have acquired cannot be undone, sir.

[That's... adorable. Viceroy seems to soften for a moment before snapping back to his frustration.]

Uhuh, I don't buy it. If it can be done, it can be UNdone!

Re: [Visual]

[brightestspark]

As far as I know, it can't be undone.

[Rung tilts his head, whiskers twitching.]

But it looks as though you're a unicorn! I believe they have the capability of magic. At least, that's what I've been told.

[Visual]

[got_style]

Pff, not with that attitude.

[If no one's gonna help him, he might have to figure it out by himself. No big deal.]

Yeah, I figured out that much. [He wiggles the scroll around in midair to prove it.]

I gotta say, the telekinesis is a real plus.. But y'know, I can't just walk into work like this...

[Wait a minute.]

Hey. Where uh, where exactly am I?

[brightestspark]

[Rung stares for a moment, he hadn't seen magic in action yet. Wow. But he snaps out if it and readresses the unicorn.]

You're in the land of Equestria. It's main inhabitants consisting of ponies.

I'm rather new here myself. And still adjustibg to this new form of mine. But you look like you're adjusting pretty well to your own.

[trustme]

Don't count on a call back from whoever or whatever brought you here. The details of our cross-dimensional kidnapping are still under investigation. Our main suspect of sorts is not a very talkative individual either.

[visual]

[got_style]

Yeah? Who are they and where can I find 'em?

[While the cross dimensional thing is really interesting, he's all riled up to get this solved.]

[visual]

[trustme]

We have yet to discover their location, otherwise we would have stormed it a long time ago. Our main suspect is known as the Pale Pony. We're likely dealing with a "she." Thus far her appearances have been short and in the form of a remote "puppet" of sorts. Even her servants are sent out in a "puppet" moving-alabaster-statue form.

[visual]

[got_style]

Yes, thank you, the fella with the scar on his cheek caught me up on a lot of that. The puppets are new info, though...

What sort of things is she responsible for? And what kinds of powers does she have? I just want to be as prepared as I can be, y'know.

[robotfightclub]

[You know what this needs? More adorable animals.]

Pretty sure baby butterflies are called caterpillars...

[Look! See! She knows a little about Earth animals after all. No one say otherwise.]

And if you or anyone else can find a way to undo this in an hour, I'll eat my helmet.

[Visual]

[got_style]

[Awww.. A talking kitten... No wait, focus Viceroy.]

That's what I meant, obviously. They're adorable.

And I'm bettin' I can. It's not the first time I've changed one thing into another. I've just never been the subject.
[He's also failing to mention that his weapon turned objects into different things at random and was highly dangerous.]

[Visual]

[robotfightclub]

[She'd argue she's a grown adult and not a kitten, thank you very much, but details.

Wait, what was that about changing things?]

Uh huh...

[Not important! What's important is he thinks he can undo this technicolor nightmare. Arcee has no problem trying to push him in that particular direction.]

Well? Clock's ticking.

[Visual]

[got_style]

[..Wait, really? He seems a little surprised that she thinks he can, right off the bat.]

Well hold on, gimme a minute! I only just got here, y'know!

Let's see, what do I have to work with..

[He sets the scroll on the ground and there's a sound of rummaging nearby.]

Hn, not much.. Holographic recorder, which is useful. And.. a pile of slime? OH! No, I know that slime!

[He picks the scroll back up and shakily stands. His steps are still a little wobbly, but he seems to be following something.]

Okay, so that's nice, but it's not like I've got my lab equipment here. You got any idea how technologically advanced this place is?

[He gestures behind himself, somewhere toward the direction of town.]

[holyfight]

Ooh, that sounds dangerous!

I don't think anyone is going to let you go from this place, though...

visual

[got_style]

I've gathered that. Turns out I'm not in quite the hurry I though I was.

[groaan.] Just means I'm gonna have a mess to deal with when I get back.

[holyfight]

Oh no! You got taken in the middle of something important?

I kind of did, too, although I like to think I'll get sent back to when I was taken when I eventually go back.

[got_style]

You could say that.. [Though it's not nearly as important to him as it is to his bosses.]

Really? That's a possibility, I guess! If transformation and dimensional displacement can happen, why not a little time travel?

[callmeyork]

Kudos for not immediately freaking out. That tends to be... something like 80% of "newcomer" transmissions.

Though you're probably going to be waiting a lot longer than an hour... the Pale Pony tends not to take inquiries very readily.

[got_style]

I'm an evil genius. This sorta weirdness comes with the territory.

"The Pale Pony"?

[callmeyork]

["Evil Genius". Welp. Here come the tropes.]

Mmhm... some kind of avatar or deity of death, or just a malicious entity on her own. A white alicorn from another dimension which she destroyed, and is somehow behind all of the weirdness going on here.

[got_style]

Oh, good. So there is someone responsible!

I was thinking of just finding a way home by myself, but if there's an actual source to the problem, that changes things slightly...

Anything else you can tell me about 'em?

[bluesuit_hoofy]

So what sort of business are you in that you expect to be kidnapped and turned into a unicorn? Inquiring minds want to know.

[got_style]

Evil genius, mad scientist, super villain, yatta yatta.. Though these kinda things don't happen to me, usually it's the other way around.

But I figure that hey, maybe some jealous pony-themed mad scientist coulda done this! Especially if they were trying to humiliate me!

Joke's on them though, I always look good.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

[Blink.] Usually I'm the one telling someone he's that sort of thing. I have to say, I admire your self awareness if nothing else.

[got_style]

Baby, if I didn't have a sense of humor about it, I wouldn't be able to do what I do. If you take yourself too seriously with this job you're just gonna wear yourself out!
