Prelude in C Minor - [Visual/Action]

[There's a minotaur all up in your collective grills, Equestria. One that has his face mostly obscured by a trenchcoat and fedora, both in a dusty light brown.]

Alright. Clearly, I musta fallen asleep in front of one of Peacock's shows or something. Because this is one hell of a dream.

[His voice is smooth, rich, and deep, almost as if he's a natural born singer.]

... well, either that, or some Skullgirl made the world's worst wish. Seriously, why's this place gotta be so bright...

Moping aside, might as well introduce myself. The name's Ben Birdland, but you can call me Big Band. It's what I'm used to.

Now, anybody wanna give me directions to the nearest bar? Because if I'm gonna wait this thing out, I'm gonna wait it out with some gin.

[If anybody so chooses, they can find the hulk of a bull stomping (lightly) around the Town Square, trying to get his bearings. Seems like there's a similarly massive saxophone strapped to his back, and he's having no trouble carrying it around.]

[Well hello there, sailor. If Flare wasn't already in love with one voice, you'd be a good runner-up. You know, ignoring the whole minotaur thing.

Or maybe including it. Flare had weird tastes in guys.]


North side of town, s'called the Decanter. Doesn't stock gin, but it's pretty well-off when it comes to brandy and hard cider. We're lookin' for performers to replace a few of our usuals who are out for personal reasons, in fact, if you're interested.

Oh, and welcome to Ponyville. Get comfortable, because you'll probably be here a while.

If I had a bit for every time an offworlder was floored by how we name our towns...

Don't you guys have places like "Mansfield", too? Kinda throwin' stones in the glass house, there.

[Welcome to Equestria. Leave your sense at the border.]

I suppose it was a matter of time, with the amount of new arrivals this place gets. In any case, welcome to Equestria. I trust you have already been pointed in the direction of the Decanter?

Master Birdland, hail and well met in Equestria.

But what, pray tell, is a Skullgirl? I take it they're some kind of magician of your world, if they can so casually make wishes that you'd take your travels here as one of them.
wizardofharmony: (:deep thought)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2014-09-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
I came from my world's 15th century under the Principalities, at any rate. I know my language is... archaic, by the standards of practically everypo- ONE save Luna.

An artifact that promises power to wreak corruption, with its own fell will... that's all too common a tale. Might the news that I've never heard off the Skullheart offer some small consolation?

If by drink you mean alcohol, I have sake. It was a pain to get though, but well worth it. You need it in this place.

Do I want to know what a Skullgirl is?

[Is that some competition Cecil hears? Does someone wish to dethrone him from his seat of Most Sonorous Voice in Equestria?

...not that he really cares, but here, have some bread to go with that buttery voice of yours.]


I'm pretty sure other have already shown you the Decanter.

On to a more pressing concern...

If you can't find a place to stay, there are still a few rooms left at the Satyagraha Commune, over in the outskirts of Ponyville. Rent is free, but residents are expected to help with daily chores and take care of the commune's gardens. Including the artichoke patch that may or may not be guarded vigilantly by the spirit of a man murdered before I even arrived here.

If you haven't picked up a welcome cupcake from one of the Pinkie Pies, one will probably be delivered to...wherever you are. All the different versions of Pinkie seem to be able to pinpoint your exact location at all times for their own nefarious purposes.

Do not, under any circumstances, read Hoovesweek. Okay, sure, this last issue wasn't so bad, but it is a web of lies and will only bring ruin and despair upon your family.

You could plow the fields, move things around, that kind of thing. The commune grounds are more like a small farm, or one of those forced labor camps we have some kids go to during the summer where I'm from, so you should do just fine.

Also, I'm battling Lyme disease. We could always use stronger hooves.
