2nd Experiment

[scienceintensifies]

[Have an awkward looking unicorn, Ponyville.]

Right. So. First off, just wanna say, I'd like to apologize for a little... misunderstanding. That occurred when I arrived here. I had assumed this was. A different universe. I don't plan on taking over anyone [He coughs quickly in a way that sounds a little like "for now".]. No ill intentions.

You should really learn to differentiate yourselves more.

Now, to business. Assuming terrifying elder gods aren't your usual cup of acids, I'd like to offer my assistance in any matters relating to said horrors. In a scientific aspect, of course. Don't even want to think about going near something like that unprepared again.

On a more... personal note, can someone direct me to a place to spend my nights? And that local library? It appears my GPS didn't arrive with me.

[A voice off-screen scoffs.] And he never got off his behind and actually explored his surroundings.

[Linksano turns to glare at the voice... presumably. His eyebrows are hidden behind the goggles, but his frown is very visible.]

Do you mind? Now I have to film the whole thing all over again!

Wha- isn't it live?

Of course not! Its quite clearl- oh. Drat.

[The scroll immediately shuts off.]

Well if it's a place to stay you're looking for, there's the Commune at the edge of town. Lot of us off-worlders are staying there. As for the library...

[He looks around at where he is, surrounded by the books of hte Canterlot Library.]

Which one you looking for? There's the Golden Oak over in Ponyville and then the one over here in Canterlot. Though I suppose if it's local you're looking for the Golden Oak is at the end of town, opposite from the Town Square.

[scienceintensifies]

[He nods his head.]

Right, that's what I'm looking for. And the town square would be found...?

[Visual]

[theytookmypants]

[He motions with a hoof in a direction off screen...whether it's the right direction to at least accentuate his directions.]

It shoulda be-[He fails to stifle a yawn and shakes his head clear a little.]-scuse me, shoulda' been that place you first arrived at. Most of us did at least. Right in front of the Town Hall.

[He pulls up a thermos from off screen and pours the last of the coffee into a cup.]

If you don't mind my asking, what're you trying to find there?

[like_a_dragon]

[Hello again, jerkwad.]

[Still, it wouldn't hurt to help him a little right?]

Commune.

Outskirts of town.

That way.

[She points in the direction that the commune would be... where she it. It would help more if she was looking where Lesko was, but details.]

[Visual]

[scienceintensifies]

[Ah. Yes. You. Lovely. He fights the urge to grimace at her since he did kinda heck up with that earlier error. But its easier to blame these guys.]

Could you perhaps name its geographical location?

Are you for real?

Its an honest question!

[Visual]

[like_a_dragon]

...you know, now that you mention it I'm not really sure which was is North.

[Flatly.] So, no.

[...]

Where the heck were you living this whole time?!

[Visual]

[scienceintensifies]

...Nowhere important.

[Translation: he broke into someone else's house and hid somewhere.]

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[HMMMMMM]

Are you bearhaps...lying? Is it actually really important?

[millionbitpipes]

Just to let ya know, Mechakara lives on that commune. Not sure if he's still there right NOW, but he'll be back sometime.

[And he can give you directions to other places, but first and more importantly:] What is that?

[private visual]

[scienceintensifies]

...Lovely. [Why is this his life.]

What is what?

[private visual]

[millionbitpipes]

The place catches fire every other week anyway, even without his help.

Who's that with you? [Look he knows it's not a new pony friend you made okay]

[Visual]

[surpriserainbows]

Everyone's mentioned the commune so, you know - that takes care of that!

I'm more interested in, like - so do you study horrors from beyond space and time specifically, or what man? Like I wouldn't think that'd be a 'hard' science or nothing.

[Visual]

[scienceintensifies]

...Well, not exclusively, but it seems to come up a lot more that you'd expect. So, I have a bit of experience.

[Sort of.]

[Visual]

[surpriserainbows]

....Really?

I mean no offense man, I'd just think someone who'd had experience with them would like...

Have a melty face. Or limbs horribly out of place. Or a scar at least.

[neighfeni]

[Swear to heaven, Harvey, you better be glad she couldn't see that. It does not catch fire every other week! That's only happened, what, twice? Horsefeathers!

In any case, she didn't see that, so when Nephenee pops up, she smiles. Country girl hasn't met Linksano yet.]

Well, Ah see a few folks have mentioned the Commune, but if ya still need help findin' it, Ah can draw ya a map. Ah find it's a lot easier for folks.

[scienceintensifies]

Oh, that would be very useful. Assuming you are talented at doing so.

[neighfeni]

Well, Ah ain't a cartographer, but it's helped folks before! Can ya show me with the scroll where ya are?

[tsunpony]

Why doesn't anyone use the trust fund anymore? We have to inform EVERYPONY about it lately.

[Grumbling.] It's there for a reason!

[scienceintensifies]

The what fund.

[tsunpony]

The trust fund for newponies that arrive. You can get a stipend from the bank to live on, and to find a place to live for a few weeks.

[polyturtle]

. . .Is...that a foam lizard?

[scienceintensifies]

....Kind of.

[Yes.]

[Visual]

[toosmarttodie]

Ok, but what kind of science is related to these horrors? Engineering? Biology?

[Visual]

[scienceintensifies]

...Experience more than science, to be honest.
