First Daybreak [Audio]

[raging_she_demon]

[Playing safe and going with audio, no way was she showing her face right now. Not after turning her back on everypony long ago.]

Umm... hi. Sorry to bother anyone, but... I just got here. I'm not exactly new to Equestria, but it's been quite a while since I've been here. Plus it looks like Equestria, but I know a thing or two about alternate worlds. So... I guess I just want to ask what exactly this Equestria is the one I think that it is and why I may have been brought here.

I'd appreciate an answer... though you don't have to give me one, I guess. I'll figure it out somehow. But if anyone... I mean anypony could help me, then I'd... I'd really appreciate it. So... thank you. That's all.

[Well she tried. She was still learning to ask out for others instead of relying on herself or manipulation, so give her some time.]

[Oh, oh that's...

Audio or not, she knows who this is.]

Sunset Shimmer?

[visual]/[private]

[raging_she_demon]

[Oh... oh...

Out of everypony who could have answered, this was not the one that she was expecting to hear form first... even though she should have.]

Celestia... I should have known that you would have recognized me...

[solequus]

How could I now know your voice? You are my former student, after all.

[She...is not sure what to think, and her confusion and wariness subtly reflects in her voice. Is this the Sunset Shimmer she had confronted less than a year ago? Or another entirely?]

[VISUAL]

[verygassy]

Hi there! You're from another Equestria, and you know about alternate worlds. Ok, good, I'm assuming you're not freaking out about "suddenly pony"!

So, uh, I think whoever's in charge of it is probably going to need to start very heavily revising the welcome brochure at the moment. So that's not available. Just so you know.

[Visual]

[raging_she_demon]

Yeah, the pony part isn't at all new to me.

[Thank goodness, it wouldn't take long to adjust.]

A brochure, that would be helpful. Of course they don't have those...

[Visual]

[ponycure_dream]

[Nozomi tilted her head a bit, listening to Sunset's comment before answering.]

Hi! You don't have to worry; most of us don't bite, me especially! I'm Nozomi, by the way!

As for your question, well... A lot of us were brought here by a creature called the Pale Pony.

[Visual]

[raging_she_demon]

Oh ugh... hey umm... Nozomi, was it? I'm Sunset Shimmer.

[Intro done, phew!]

A lot of us? So then there are others being pulled from other universes into this one?

Audio Maybe Action Later?

[forwantofapartycannon]

[Is that...? It IS! Pinkie practically explodes with glee as she exclaims,] SUNNNNSEEEEETTTTTTT! I have a cupcake for you!!!!!!!!!

[After Flash vanished, Pinkie was hoping he had made it back safely, but who knew right?]

Where are you? I wanna see you! I can't teleport to your location without a image!

[Audio] (Action later is fine!)

[raging_she_demon]

[That sounded like...]

Pinkie? As in the human world's Pinkie? You're here too?

[neighfeni]

[That voice sounds...vaguely familiar. Not enough to place it yet, though.]

Well, miss, it's an Equestria...there's other ones, too, so Ah can't tell ya exactly what's similar or not. Um...but other ones don't seem to have a buncha folks from other worlds comin' in.

As for why we're brought here...it's..a long story.

[raging_she_demon]

Well so far it doesn't seem too different from the Equestria that I'm rom... except for all of this Pale Pony stuff that other ponies have been telling me about. And that there are ponies orm other universes here.

[Lucia's listened to Pinkie speaking with Sunset. And she winces. She knows who Sunset reflects; in short, someone who did wrong. But she also can tell when someone is genuinely contrite, from tone of voice. And Pinkie is glad to see her.

So. She raises a hoof in greeting, with a smile that she hopes reaches her eyes.]

I am Pinkie's Lucia. Hail and... welcome to Equestria, Sunset. I would not refuse Pinkie's cupcake - not out of any politic reason, but because she may be the best baker I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

[raging_she_demon]

[Although nervous, Sunset smiled back.]

Oh I don't doubt it, I've been friends with Pinkie and her friends for a while now so... I'm more than happy to take up anything that she offers to me.

[Visual]

[pirateponyprincess]

Ah, Sunset. It has been quite a while.

[That is indeed (another) Celestia on the scrolls. Only this one has a fancy hat and clothes that can only be described as "vagabond".]

I can't be sure if this is the Equestria you think it is, as there seems to be quite a lot of them in existence.

[Visual]

[raging_she_demon]

Celestia?

[Didn't she just talk to her not too long ago? Wait... that hat... those clothes...]

Oh, you must be an alternate version of Celestia.

[Visual]

[like_a_dragon]

[Unlike Sunset Shimmer, Chie has no reason to be shy, and so she will be greeted by a green earth pony with a rather impressive mop top.]

Hiya! I'm not sure which version of Equestria you're talking about, but I do know that this may not be the one you're used to. I've been told that there are multiple copies of people and everything.

[Enthusiastic, but maaybe not the help SS was looking for.]

So, um... just between you and me, is there another way you can tell that sort of thing without asking about it first?

[Visual]

[raging_she_demon]

[Yeah... that was stuff that she had gotten told by some other ponies already. Still, further conformation was good.]

Well... there are time where you can tell due to drastic physical differences or drastic world differences. But in this world's case it looks and feels too much like the Equestria that I was originally from, that's why I needed to ask. To be for sure.

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

Hi! My name's Choco. We haven't been too long either, and I dunno what kinda Equestria you're used to. But maybe we can help!

[Right?]

[Audio]

[raging_she_demon]

Choco. That's a... really nice name.

[She's trying]

So umm... what's it like in this version of Equestria?

(Audio)

[mostloyalpony]

(Rainbow's never quite used the audio on her scroll before, but first time for everything!)

Soooo...how much do you know already, have you talked with a Twilight yet and what do you think of flying turtles?

(Tortoise.)

[Audio]

[raging_she_demon]

[Oh hey, it's Rainbow Dash., Well a Rainbow Dash.]

Well... I've been told about the Pale Pony and the situation involving her and why other ponies are appearing here. I've talked to a version of Twilight, but not exactly the one that would know about me. And umm... I'm cool with that?

[Flying turtles... odd but fine with her.]

[aud.]

[marearcana]

[It's a bit later than the other calls, but what reason could-]

It seems like some others have gotten to you already, but for what it's worth?

[-ah, yep. It's a Twilight.]

Sorry you've been dragged into this.

[Audio]

[raging_she_demon]

[Twilight? Well it was a Twilight anyways.]

There's no need to say that, it's no one's fault. It can't be helped from how it sounds.

[Audio]

[magicalrealist]

(And let's go ahead and add one more Twilight to the list of Twilights Sunset has met and spoken with today.)

The fact that you know about alternate universes saves a good chunk of explanation.

Sunset, right? Do you think we could meet in person?

[Audio]

[raging_she_demon]

[And another Twilight, she must be some kind of Twilight magnet. Though it didn't sound like this one knew her, she must be from before going through the magic mirror.]

It certianly helps lessen the surprise, I supposed. And umm... yeah, sure.
