4th Wall! [Visual/Action?]

[surroundedbyidiots]

['Sup Equestria? New arrival! Unfortunately it's someone not too cool, no one with powers or anything too interesting about them. Sorry. Just a young boy with an orange shirt, purple shorts, and long red socks that cover his legs, complete with a ski hat. Seriously, who dresses like that? He dresses like he's from some weird cartoon.

Well, if his attire didn't make it obvious that he's a total nerd, then it sure will be once he opens his mouth. The scroll in his hands jumbles around a bit as he tries to investigate the odd parchment.]

So this must be what they call 'lucid dreaming'. Fascinating... [The boy hasn't ever had a dream where he is in control of what he's doing, much less actually knowing that he's dreaming at all. Everything about this strange dream seems so real! Oh, he can't wait to tell Ed and Eddy all about it!]

It is no dream.

[Because that's what you want to say when you wish to reassure someone that you're a harmless giant monster, right?]

[Visual]

[surroundedbyidiots]

[Oh okay holy crap this creature is terrifying. Why would he dream up something like that? If the boy knew this wasn't a dream, he would most likely start freaking out right now. But, alas, despite what this creature says, he still thinks he's dreaming. That still doesn't mean he isn't a little bothered by his appearance, though.

Maybe this 'creature' is a form of his consciousness, trying to scare him into thinking he's been taken from his world. Crazy, huh?]

Ahaha! Rather amusing, consciousness. I know when I'm dreaming and when I'm not.

[bigsoftie]

[Quite the internal struggle this boy's having. It's sad, how most react like this being thrown across dimensions. Not that he blames them.]

Why do you feel that you are dreaming?

[Visual]

[surroundedbyidiots]

I have to be! No offense, but... you are a talking alligator. And talking alligators do not exist.

[Or whatever the heck he is.]

[Visual]

[bigsoftie]

But I am talking to you, am I not?

[surroundedbyidiots]

Oh for heaven's sake... [Excuse him while he runs a hand down his face with a sigh. He suddenly gets an idea, and a bright grin crosses his face.]

Alright, I'll show you! According to popular belief, you will wake up if you pinch yourself.

[He does so, closing his eyes as he waits to wake up in his bed.]

[surroundedbyidiots]

[But his eyes open after a moment, and when they do he just... stares off into space, his expression oddly blank. But you can tell the gears are turning.]

...

[dreammark]

You're not dreaming.

[Hi Edd, have a world hopper.]

[Visual]

[surroundedbyidiots]

Y-yes, I... I gathered that.

[His previous talk with Leatherhead concluded that. His face is almost as white as a ghost at the realization. Poor boy.]

[Visual]

[dreammark]

[Good, saves him the headache of trying to explain world hopping, though Riku wasn't headed here per say himself.]

Riku.

Hey, you okay?

[Visual]

[surroundedbyidiots]

Eddward. With two D's. You may call me "Double D", if you wish. It's a pleasure to meet you, Riku.

I... I suppose so? Just a little frazzled...

[Visual]

[dreammark]

[If he says so, but Riku isn't the one for small talk. He notes the name and lets it drop.]

Have you learned anything about this place?

[Visual]

[surroundedbyidiots]

Only that this world is inhabited by talking ponies. I'm assuming you've been brought here as well?

[twotailedgenius]

I suppose it'd be simpler if it were a dream, yeah.

[Hi Edd, have a two-tailed fox.]

The easiest way to explain this is just calling it a different dimension. ... Which it is.

[surroundedbyidiots]

[Oh my goodness, what are these strange creatures? Don't stare, Eddward, it's rude.]

It certainly would be nice if it was.

I'm aware this is another dimension. I've already had it explained to me by someone. Thank you.

[twotailedgenius]

Oh, that's great then. Sorry, I wasn't aware someone got to this before I could.

[Makes it easier on him!]

I can still welcome you to Equestria, though! Name's Tails.

[surroundedbyidiots]

That's quite alright. It's nice to know that everyone is friendly, at least. [As far as he knows, at least.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Tails. [What a strange name...] My name is Eddward. With two D's. Though, you can just call me "Double D".

[twotailedgenius]

Most here are. It's one of the reasons I like this place.

Nice to meet you as well, Double D. I know it's probably strange, seeing things you never thought you'd see... but honestly, after a while you get used to it. I've been sent to... multiple places like this in the past. [May as well be a veteran by now.]

[surroundedbyidiots]

I don't see me ever getting used to something like this, if you don't mind me saying.

[He does chuckle as he says that. Someone's feeling a little more relaxed. His eyes widen in shock at the last statement.]

I... can't imagine. [He really can't. He can't imagine being thrown from one dimension to another, much less several.]

[tsukurimasho]

This isn't a dream, it's all real!

Visual

[surroundedbyidiots]

[Stop. Wait a minute. Fill my cup, put some liquor in it --- I'm sorry. Though, Double D really could use some liquor right now, considering the circumstances.

Anyway... oh my gosh, a girl! And a pretty one at that! The boy's face turns a beet red, and he stammers and stutters nonsensically.]

Emgurejerem ...

Visual

[tsukurimasho]

Huh? Are you okay? You look like your face is heating up!

[And Chiyo here is clueless on what's going on there. She actually thinks he needs medical attention.]

Visual

[surroundedbyidiots]

[Despite his heart beating so fast, the boy swallows and musters a more intelligent response. His voice is still a little quiet, though it's better than gibberish, at least.]

Y-yes, yes I'm fine, thank you.

Visual

[tsukurimasho]

[Oh good, he was fine! She's relieved.]

I'm glad! You look like you're new here, so welcome to Equestria! I'm Chiyo Mihama. What's your name?

Visual

[surroundedbyidiots]

[And that blush is just going to get darker and darker.]

T-thank you, um... Chiyo. My name is Eddward. With two D's. But you can call me "Double D", if you wish.
