[It's a familiar apartment if anybody saw the video of an earth pony on guitar. But there's some commotion, hooves clicking against the floor somehow rather than the usual clop. But nobody's in view...]

A'right! I'm open for commissions! The Gala's comin' up real fast, but I can take on as many orders as I can and get 'em done, damn it!

[Then, a sigh.]

Just drop a scroll, got it? ...And for those who want a sample, here's somethin' I just kinda threw together.

[Samples? What's he mea-- oh. Oh that's definitely a stallion trotting into view of the 'camera', wearing an ornate white dress with lace and pearl, something that couldn't be 'thrown together' if anybody tried. He'd even styled his mane to match, and kicked a back leg to show the flow of the skirts. Well, at least he doesn't look embarrassed to be in the stuff. In fact, he looks awfully comfortable.]

Could be as simple or as fancy as ya want it, but you gotta be able to walk in the stuff, got it? I ain't takin' orders for 30-foot dress trains. You'll thank me later.

[Did he just do a little mane flip? He just did a little mane flip.]

[He snickered.]

--Hmm, okay. So ya want somethin' presentable, but without all the frills n' shit. That's easy!

I got some ideas already. How 'bout I do up some sketches and have you take a look at 'em this afternoon, see what kinda shape you wanna go for first? Then we go from there and work out a matching mask!

Hell, I'm down with that. You send the word when you're ready, and I'll be there.

I'm gonna grab lunch in an hour. After that I'm good!

Hey, I don't wanna get all in your face and case and shit but you mind if I join you for lunch? I kind of, hell, you know...

Want to do a little post-jump checkup with you, if you don't mind.

[He paused, but it was only for a breath. Kanji nodded.]

...Right. Sure. I'm headin' to Jou's place. Meet me there?

Sure.

[And she'll be there, waiting for when the bigger pony rolls on up. She nods her head a little in his direction.]

How've you been doing? Seems like you've been rolling pretty alright.

[He was always down for a plate of extra noodles and a hell of a lot of spice in the broth. As he approached, he wasn't aware of it, but the meal was already in the process. Maybe he was repetitive in his meals, but he just couldn't resist it!]

Yo! I've been as good as I can be, but I'm more glad everyone else is okay. That was... pretty wild. How'd you guys come up with that zap juice?

Wish I could say that shit was resting all up here, but that'd be a damn lie.

[She taps a hoof to her skull a little, then puts it away in a shrugging motion.]

Found out about it the first time I went in from one of the insiders. On the third trip someone, pretty sure Zecora, passed the recipe off to us.

Shit's gotten wilder each time.

I, uh... lost sleep the first few nights. Rest of the time I had some headaches tryin' to comprehend everything we saw in there.

[But he looked up.]

Zecora's been a huge help. I hope she keeps outta sight for a bit though, just in case.

It uh...that shit? Not really going to get any better any time soon.

Yeah. She was. I sure as hell hope she does.

...Really though? I wanted to thank you, for even coming and shit to see what was in there. I didn't, you know. Know shit was going to get that wild for us. But you and everyone else kicked ass in their. Just.

Thanks. You know. For caring to come.

[He nodded, but shrugged.]

What're friends for? Maybe ya did lead that trip, but somebody's gotta watch out for the leader too, y'know?

[He meant to speak further, but was momentarily distracted when two dishes came out, noodles and broth, vegetables and the briefest scent of fiery peppers. But then again-]

Hey, so, I gotta question- I know there's multiples of a lotta people here, but is Japple just the way to tell you guys apart?

Uh, lemme rephrase- should I use Japple or are ya an Apple and would prefer that?

Sorry if that's a weird question.

....Okay, it's kind of hard to explain. I'm an Apple but...so.

You're for a modern world and all that shit, right? Have you ever seen the movie Twins, with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

[He helped himself to a mouthful of noodles, furrowing a brow. Twins... twins, had he seen that one?]

Names're familiar, I know those actors... but I dunno the movie.

Okay, so, the way it goes down is that, in the movie, Arnold and Danny are the results of this genetic program or some shit. I think. It's been a while. But anyway, Arnold is all the best parts of the DNA and Danny is all the leftover shit.

That's kind of how this is. I'm the cosmic Danny DeVito in that instance to, like, Applejack's Arnold.

Tch- ...C'mon, you ain't leftover shit. I think you're great.

Whoa whoa whoa, don't get me wrong.

[She waves a hoof in front of herself a little bit.]

I ain't saying I'm shit like I suck, it's more like...

Look. There's a place called the Void, and the Void is where all the worlds reside. Your world, my world, and this version of Equestria. And every Equestria in between. And of those Equestrias, there's the very first Equestria, or Equestria Prime, and then there's all the Equestrias that split off from it. And the further those Equestrias are from the original, the worse they become.

And the one I'm from? Kiiiiindaaaa out in the boonies.

[His eyes slowly widened. He'd never thought about the in-between of the worlds, but with Japple able to jump between them diving into Calice, that meant one thing.]

Ohhhh, okay. ...Wait, with your ability you must've seen it a lot! What's the Void even look like?
