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...

Yeah, a little bit. [It was very interesting, though. He just needs a little bit of time to understand it.] I've also heard there was a lot of magic involved in this world.

[raging_she_demon]

Yes, Equestria is a world that is very reliant on magic. All ponies have it, but to different degrees. Pagasi can fly and are the only ponies that can move clouds, make the weather, and stand on clouds. Earth ponies, like you, have special connections with nature and tend to the land. Unicorns, like me, have levitation abilities channeled through their horn and can use magic in various other ways if they choose to learn to do so in depth.

[notgivinguponyou]

I see...all practical in their own right.

[And it seems they relied as much on each other as they did magic in this world.]

[raging_she_demon]

Exactly. Everypony has a part to play and it's trough that unity that Equestria a able to function. In this world, unity and friendship are very highly valued. Without it... well, it wouldn't be good for this world...

[And right now, with the recent tensions and especially after the Windigos, it really wasn't looking good.]

[notgivinguponyou]

I see...Well, I'll do what I can to help. [It might not be much, but he has to try.]

[raging_she_demon]

Good, that's all that can be done. So is there anything else about Equestria that you'd like to know about?

[notgivinguponyou]

Well...maybe not at the moment.

[All this has been a lot to take in already.]

But where could I go if I wanted to learn more?

[raging_she_demon]

Well we have a library here, so you can go there to look up anything that you may be curious about. I'm always open for if you need to know anything also, so don't hesitate to ask me or anypony really if you need help. And if you need a place to stay, there's a commune here where you can get a place so that you have a roof over your head.

[notgivinguponyou]

[You had him at 'library'.]

Oh great! Thanks a lot.

Oh yeah, I heard about the commune. I'm heading over there pretty soon too.

But I appreciate everything...?

[Names. Names would help.]

[raging_she_demon]

It's Sunset. Sunset Shimmer. Glad that I was able to help you...

[Okay, she gave you her name. Time to return the favor.]

[notgivinguponyou]

[He smiles. Sunset Shimmer...that sounds a lot like a nickname Fred would give.]

Tadashi Hamada. It's nice to meet you, Sunset.
