First Flight | Visual

[twotailedgenius]

[The scrolls open to a smiling pegasus, with a red scarf around his neck and small white cuffs around all four of his legs. (Visual reference!) These scrolls were his way to communicate with the rest of the world, right?]

Hey! Nice to meet you all. My name's Tails, and I'm new here. [He's learned a bit about Equestria from a friend of his in the last place he found himself. He extends his wings, and then realizes he has them.] Huh. I have wings, so I guess that means I can still fly, too!

Though I do have one question... [He motions to his wrench that's lying on the ground.] How d'you hold heavier stuff with your hooves? I can't really fix or build things like this.

Comments

[discorderly]

Pony magic.

[He says quickly, obviously not really interested in actually helping.]

If you and the other you fought, who do you think would win?

[twotailedgenius]

Pony magic? [Aw come on.]

Other me? [Oh, right, there was another him here, wasn't there... Nephenee confused him for the other Tails when they met in Kalos.] Uh... I haven't even met the other me yet. So I dunno. [And they wouldn't fight either way, he hopes, so theoretically there'd be no answer?]

[visual]

[polyturtle]

Hey, Tails.

[Again.]

Its actually pretty easy. Just go by Pinkie Pie rules.

[visual]

[twotailedgenius]

Pinkie Pie rules? [Color him confused.]

[ponymechanic]

[Welp. He figures this would have happened sooner or later.]

Well....this is awkward.

You have to use your mouth since you don't have a horn.

[twotailedgenius]

[Oh! Hey, other him! .... Well, yeah, that is kinda awkward.]

A little. You know someone named Nephenee? She told me there'd be another me here if I ever got to visit.

My mouth? [That's...] That'd take a lot to get used to.

[Visual]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie eyes this Tails warily, given what happened with the other Tails.]

You are but to use your mouth or your very wings!

...You wouldn't happen to wear any amulets, would you?

[Visual]

[twotailedgenius]

I still think it'd take a lot of getting used to to fix things with holding a wrench in my mouth. But I guess it's better than having no means to fix machines.

Amulets? Nah, all I've got is this scarf and a ring that lets me change into a human. ... At least, it did before I got here. It doesn't seem to work now.

[like_a_dragon]

[And Chie laughs.]

C'mon, Tails! You know. You've been doing this longer then I have!

[Oops.]

[twotailedgenius]

[It's a good thing he knows there's another Tails around, or he'd be really confused.]

Ah, no, I really am new here. The other Tails is here as well. He's probably the one you're talking about. [He doesn't really understand how that can work.] I guess there's two of us now.

[visual]

[foolish_seal]

Oh, hey. Another Tails. 'Sup?

[visual]

[twotailedgenius]

[Wow, not even a shocked look or a surprise. Is this common where this guy comes from?]

Yeah, I was kinda shocked to find out another me was here. Other than that, not much, just getting used to being a pony. Or a pegasus, I guess.

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

[Oh, someone new. It would be best to say hi.

He might not recognize the face, but the wings, hair, and dragonfly hair clip might be a bit familiar to Tails.]

H...H-Hello...It's...nice to meet you, Tails...I-I'm...Fluttershy...

Um...Has anyone mentioned another you here yet? [Best to get the confusion out of the way.]

Mm...you might...have to hold some things in your mouth...or, once you adjust better to the pony body...it might be easier to hold things with your hooves.

[To be honest, she never really thought about it before.]

[visual]

[twotailedgenius]

[Oh! All of that and the voice definitely feels familiar... and then he hears her say her name. Yep, that's her.]

Oh! Hiya, Fluttershy! [Wait... she might not be the same Fluttershy that ended up in Kalos at the same time as him. Better keep the confusion as minimal as possible.] It's nice to meet you as well.

Ah, yeah, I've already met the other me. Actually, I learned about him being here when I was in another world myself. This would be the... fourth world I've been to that wasn't my own.

I hope I can adjust enough to be able to hold tools with my hooves, personally. It would make building and fixing things a lot easier.

After she returns on the 5th

[neighfeni]

[After getting back in from her and Applejack's adventure, Nephenee noticed there were several new scroll posts since she'd checked in partway through the journey. She had to admit to some surprise at there being another Tails here, now. But there were duplicates of many here, so maybe it shouldn't be that big of one. But he might be in for a bit of one when the unmistakable blue mare comes onscreen, a jade t-shirt on that decided it wanted to read Keep Calm And Sentinel On.]

Heh, sorry Ah'm late to this, Ah jus' got back from a trip...

Ah find it takes practice to hold stuff with hooves, really. Mouth's pretty easy to get used to, but if ya practice real hard, hooves can hold stuff pretty good. Ah hold my lances in mine, for example.

Oh, sorry! Shoulda introduced myself first. [She rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.] My name's Nephenee. It's a right pleasure to meet ya, Sir Tails.

[twotailedgenius]

[And like he recognized Fluttershy from Kalos, he recognized Neph as well.] Hiya Nephenee! It's nice to meet you too. Though I guess this would be the second time I've met you. You haven't.. been to Kalos yet, have you?

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Another newcomer! Good, I'll keep this short and informational then.

Ahem.

There's a fund for newcomers that arrive, and I wanted to be the first to inform you about it before you find yourself scrambling for money. The Butterfly Trust Fund from the bank is available for the duration of your stay, which is a donation-run fund from both the Equestrian Monarchy and everypony else who is here.

Not only money but food, clothing and shelter are available at a discounted rate.

[twotailedgenius]

Oh, that's really nice of everyone. [Even though another version of him is here, he can't be positive that he'll have a place to live yet or any work he could do until he gets used to his pony body.]

Thank you for the information.

[Visual]

[frozenmemories]

It's nice to meet you Tails! You get used to it after a while..It'll just take a bit to do so.

[Yeah..She can't talk about wing hands due to the fact her's are made of ice. She's not fully helpful.]

[Visual]

[twotailedgenius]

It's nice to meet you too. [Though he doesn't know your name, unfortunately.] I sure hope so, because fixing and building machines is my talent.

[Visual]

[magicalrealist]

(Oh hey, another Tails. Sweet.)

It's much easier than you think. In fact, it's easier to accomplish when you're not thinking about it. Ponies can use their hooves as well as humans can use their hands.

(Translation: CARTOON PONIES DO WHAT THEY WANT)

[Visual]

[twotailedgenius]

[It certainly has merit to it.] I guess I'll have to practice doing just that, then. Though I'm not originally a human, the same concept applies.

[Visual]

[poolicide]

So shouldn't you change your name to Wings, then?

[That was the first crack he made in months. Feel lucky, Tails.]

[Not here]

[ponymechanic]

[Not actually replying, but he's glaring at you from afar. Not funny.]

[kind_to_all]

... Tails?

Weren't you here before? ...

[Threadjack]

[ponymechanic]

I'm still here. He's my double I suppose.

[VIsual]

[ceasetoexist]

Sucks to be you then.

Some of us got lucky enough to still have hands.

[The small red and black dragon just wiggles his little clawed figures in front of the scroll.]

Dunno how the horses here move things. With their heads and mouths I guess. Dunno how you're going to hold, like, a wrench in your mouth though.

[Visual]

[twotailedgenius]

[... What's this dude's problem?]

I'll just have to figure it out, then, won't I? Can't be that hard.
