1st Idea [visual]

[The screen opens up to a green pony as he's pacing; his steps are slow and deliberate, each hoof lifting a little too high as he gets used to walking. He doesn't seem to notice that his scroll has unfurled, too busy as he was trying to stay calm.]

Okay...okay, this is fine. I'm fine...there's...there's a reasonable explanation for this...

[He nearly trips but manages to catch himself, though a look at one hoof has him on the edge of panic.]

I'm dreaming. Right...that's what this is. I hit my head, and I'm in the hospital dreaming...yeah...

[He runs a hoof through his mane, but pauses to glance up at his head.]

Aww man, my hat...

[So does that mean he gets to think your name is 'Dandy Baby' forever?]

Tadashi Hamada.

So it's not just ponies in this place, huh?

[~~Well, if he just wants to cement his dumbass status...~~]

How long'd it take you to figure that one out?

Just until you showed up, I suppose.

Though seeing a griffin is pretty cool, I guess.

[Even if the attitude left a lot to be desired.]

[Apparently it's a time honored tradition for all griffons in Equestria to be giant assholes. Go fig.

Of course, once Tadashi mentions how cool he is, Dandy can't help but do a complete mood swing.]

Funniest thing? Never seen another one ever since I set foot here. I might as well be the closest thing this dump's got to a celebrity.

[Good thing Tadashi's used to attitude, so he adapts to this one pretty quick.]

Well, least you stand out in a crowd.

Just comes naturally, baby~

[Huh, maybe this guy's not as big as a dumbass as he thought. Well, good for him.]

But, uh, yeah, there's all sorts of crazy crap on this planet. If I actually had my ship, I'd get 'em registered for big bucks, but apparently death horses got something against me.

By the way, there's a death horse.

Yeah? What kind of ship do you have?

[Wait...]

Death horse?

[Does not like the sound of that.]

Space?

[What other ships are there?]

No one told you about the death horse yet? Seriously? Huh...

[Well clearly, since he mentioned planets.]

Yeah, but I mean what kind? Is it used just for interplanetary travel, or interstellar? Did you build it yourself?

[He's not entirely sure that was possible, but he'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's not as bad as he seems.]

Can't say anyone's mentioned it.

[Hang on, too many questions. A whole three.]

Uh...I bought her, and it's used for...you know, space stuff. I lived in her, too, before I got thrown into this shit. God, I miss my stuff...

[So many toys... The TV... A fridge.]

Anyway, ask around about death horse, I'm sure someone can tell you about her better than I can. Just know that her booty's already mine, hear me?

[Sorry, he gets really curious about things.]

Ah...still, that's pretty impressive. I can imagine being separated from something like that would be hard.

Yeah, I'll be sure to ask about it, thanks.

[Trust him, you can keep that "booty". He's fine without it.]

[Just gotta make his claims.]

Do you? Do you really? Do you know how it feels to be stuck on a planet for so long, especially one as obnoxiously stupid as this one? All the money I could be making... All the trips to BooBies I'm MISSING because someone can't play nice with others? Ugh, just saying that hurts...

[SNIFF]

It's not fair, man. Not fair...

[He's just going to...ignore what some of those mean right now.]

Maybe not exactly...but I can make a guess. And if I'm here long enough...I probably will.

Eh, you probably will be. Depends on how interesting you are or some crap.

[HOPE YOU WEREN'T A MAIN CHARACTER OR ANYTHING.]

[Does tritagonist count?]

Well, I'm not that interesting. So hopefully I won't be here too long.

Long as I'm here though...You know any place I can get some tools?

Edited 2015-02-03 01:16 (UTC)

A magical place I like to call...a hardware store.

[He's sure there's something like that around here.]

What's the occasion?

[Just became a horse? Get a hammer. Makes sense enough...]

Brilliant. [This kind of attitude he can deal with.]

Might as well try to figure out how to work with tools while I'm like this. See if I can't build something while I'm at it.

I wouldn't know anything about that, but I hear it's easy as hell. Seriously, you're gonna pick up a screwdriver and be like "Oh, okay". Magic, baby.

[Truthfully, Dandy has no idea how ponies pick up things with their hooves so effortlessly, but it might as well be magic.]

Might as well build yourself a house so you aren't stuck hoboing it for the first nights.

Good to know. [Definitely worth trying it out, though.]

Well, I'm more into robotics than carpentry.

[Hold the phone.]

...Are we talkin' real robots here, or is this that "Technically microwaves are robots" crap?

[Although some microwaves do have AI depending on the planets they come from back in his universe... Whatever, his point still stands.]

Edited 2015-02-03 01:54 (UTC)

[He grins; he sees he's piqued some interest there, Dandy.]

Robots. Actual moving, talking, speaking, thinking robots.

You better be serious, because now I got a job for you, baby.

[Fufufufufu...]

I was working on one back home, before I came here.

...What kind of job?

[...Now he wonders if he should regret bringing it up.]

Like I said, I miss my stuff. One of 'em happened to be my robot, QT. Following me so far? As much as he pissed me off, he still kept my room clean and...I don't like cleaning my room, okay?

[Just cutting to the chase.]

Hmm...a cleaning robot, huh?

[The idea seemed simple enough, certainly not as complex as Baymax had been.]

Well, it might take a while...I'd have to see if I can find the necessary parts to build him, not to mention how to create a power source...

[This is Tadashi. This is Tadashi considering building a robot to help a griffon clean his room.]
