One Mark [Visual]

[bigsoftie]

[About time someone brought an end to the stream of cat and pony here. For before the scroll is a diamond dog with a couple scars over his face. With all his experience with technology, he isn't quite sure how to get it.

It's only a couple seconds into the scroll's broadcast does he realize he's speaking into a communicator. Well, better get what he set out to do what he wanted to do before whatever malevolent thing latches onto him.]

It is strange, I feel like I am remembering a dream just as I have fallen asleep...dimensional travel is a pain.

[The flood of memories is starting to give him a weird brain freeze-like feeling, just like when he tried that ice cream.]

But that is not important. I must talk to someone, I feel the Earth is in danger...that is all I can say right now.

[GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP!]

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CUPCAKE IS?

[She's actually met quite a few people who don't, one day she'll really stop being so surprised by it - ]

Wait. There. [ - but today is clearly not that day.]

[bigsoftie]

....no, I do not.

[Are all natives of this place loud?]

I do not know where else to go.

[sailorlaughter]

GOOD!

[Because she's gonna be there in like ten seconds.]

SURPRIIIIIIISE! This is a cupcake right here! [This thing she's shoving in your face!] You eat it! Oh, but not the paper!

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead has no idea what's going on, his fist instinct is to chomp down on the offending cupcake in one bite. After he gobbles it up, he gives a slow nod.]

It tastes good...sweet...

[sailorlaughter]

Good! That's how it's supposed to taste!

[Pinkie seems entirely unalarmed by the chomping taking place inches from her hoof.]

[bigsoftie]

[He might have felt great guilt had she expressed otherwise.]

Is there any more of these?

[sailorlaughter]

There's a TON more back at Sugarcube Corner! That's where I work! And also kinda live, except that's a different Sugarcube Corner, but they both have cupcakes!

[bigsoftie]

...which one can I visit?

[sailorlaughter]

Ooooooh, ooooooh, mine! Pick mine!

[bigsoftie]

....yours?

[sailorlaughter]

Mine! C'mon, c'mon!

[And she begins dragging him along down the road.]

[bigsoftie]

[Uh...ok. With no better idea what to do, Leatherhead follows suit.]

[sailorlaughter]

[She drags him along through the streets, until finally they come to a building that vaguely resembles a cake built out of Lego blocks.]

Here we go! This one is MY Sugarcube Corner. The other one looks like a cupcake NOT made out of blocks!

[And then she bounces inside. C'mon, dude.]

[bigsoftie]

...it is a nice hose.

[He wants to eat it, but nonetheless he heads inside.]

[sailorlaughter]

Thanks! I built it myself!

[Dude, it's not an actual cupcake. There's a ton of them in the display case inside, though. Pinkie hops up to the counter and opens it up, heading back into the kitchen.]

You can just come in back!

[bigsoftie]

[He's not used to actual food. The big dog obliges, heading behind the cupcake building. Boy he can't wait to eat.]

[sailorlaughter]

[That's good, because there's a TON of food here! And some customers, but yeah.]

So, what do you want? More cupcakes? We've got a lot of other stuff too! Like cake-cakes, and scones, and muffins, and...

[This is gonna go on.]

[bigsoftie]

...all of them.

[Yes. All of them.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Oh. Wow. That's a tall order.]

I thiiiiink maybe you oughta come in back with me! That's where the kitchens are!

[bigsoftie]

I will follow you.

[For the sweet promise of food.]
