1st Solar Charge: The Solar Colt [Visual]

So does this mean it's working now? It looks like it's on, but I don't really have any experience with magical scrolls. Phones were one thing, but this is something new entirely...

(It seems like this new pony is asking other ponies about how to get his scroll to work, even though the others don't know how to work it any better than he does. Once he figures out that yes, the video feed is on, Django thanks the ponies for their help and proceeds with his introduction.)

I hope this is actually working; it'd pretty weird if I was talking to myself for all of this, huh? If anyone is listening, then uhh...hi! I'm Django...the Solar Boy! And it looks like I'm waking up in unfamiliar places all over again...but at least this one is a lot more colorful. Hopefully, it won't be as menacing...

(He rubs the back of his head.)

...But even if it is, I'll be sure to lend a hand wherever it's needed! A whole new place means a lot to do, so I'd better get started. May the sun be with you!

(There's an awkward pause as he just stands there quietly.)

...I forgot to ask how to turn this off when I'm done. Maybe if I just close it...

(And so the rest of the feed is nothing but Django trying to figure out how to wrap up a scroll with hooves. There's not much more to this than the sound of rustling paper; it'll take him a while before he gets it right.)

[Otenko]

[And yes Otenko is totally perched on Django's back shortly after he manages to get the scroll closed.]

Good to see you are wasting no time, Django.

(Now that's a voice he hasn't heard in a long time. And boy is Django happy to hear it. He looks back to face the ~~sunflower~~ bird.)

Master Otenko! You're here, too! I didn't think anyone from home would be here...but it's great that you are! I have so much to tell you!

So much to tell? We have not been apart for that long, unless there is something else going on that I am unaware of.

(He nods.)

It's complicated, but I'll do my best to keep it short.

(He begins to walk as he talks.)

There was a town called Mayfield. It had the power to bring in all sorts of people from across time and space. They were all forced to live there with no way of returning home. It was an evil town...it liked hurting people for no reason and even death didn't mean much; those who died would just come back later...most of the time, anyway.

I was in that town for over a year. I saw a lot of things there...but the worst of it came from when they finally told everyone how they did it: the whole town was inside of a computer and everyone there was just a copy of who they look like.

(Django picks his head up.)

But that's okay. Because that means San Miguel still has Django to protect it...and that means I can protect wherever I end up next.

[Otenko listens quietly as Django tells of his exploits. He's surprised, certainly, and it's all hard to believe, but he's not about to deny the Solar Boy's word, copy or not.]

...I see, though I must admit I am slightly worried that I am not with you in San Miguel. We may have sealed Jormungandr, but the Immortals are still out there.

But! It is no matter! I am sure you will fare just fine in my absence, so long as the sun still shines! I shall place my trust in you. It has never failed me in the past. However, as for us, the sun shines here, as well. No matter what form we take, we shall see to it that none shall fall to evil on our watch!

[...except there appears to be no evil in the entire town. He checked yesterday. This is the happiest place he's been in quite a while.]

(Jormungandr? But that was...

...Hmm. Seems like that sort of thing happens here, too.)

I'm sure he'll be fine, too. Depending on how this new world works, you might still be by his side!

(Perhaps that's not the best thing to say after talking about coming from a world that cloned people, but he's trying to be supportive.)

But you're right. The sun is still watching over us, so we can still do what we do best! We have to remain diligent, even when things are at their calmest; peace is difficult to acquire and easy to lose, but all the more important to hold on to.

But of course. You are learning well, Django. We must remain vigilant! In the meantime, however, we should establish contacts. The more allies we have, the more able we will be to help. I suggest finding a way to get in touch with the ruler of this- what was it called- Equestria. I have heard a few rumors about her power over the sun. It seems to be worth investigating.

Her power over the sun...? You mean something like your power of the sun?

I cannot be sure. I have only heard what others have told me. It may be similar to myself, or it may be different entirely.

I see...then I think it would be best to speak with her as soon as possible. The sun will always guide us forward, but if this is her sun we walk under, then we must make ourselves known to her.

That does seem to be our best course of action. I do not know if Immortals exist here, but I shall be unable to summon the Piledriver using a foreign sun until we establish proper contact and arrangement.

Then it'll be best to contact her as soon as possible!

(An awkward pause.)

...But how do we contact her? Someone in her position must not be easy to meet with.

Hm...

The best way would be to make our presence known. If we gain a reputation and assist the townsfolk in whatever way we can, the eye of the Princess may fall upon us.

That, or we try to find the capital and directly request an audience.

Hmm...I'm never opposed to assisting others, but if we try the latter...

(Django paused for a moment to think, looking around the area and the pointing a hoof to a castle in the distance.)

...I think that might be where we want to go. It shouldn't be more than a day's journey on the Vector Bike, especially with the sun shining this brightly.

[This is the first time Yayoi's been on the receiving end of a scroll instead of it being recorded by it, so she peers back cautiously. The boy's words have sparked curiosity.]

Solar Boy? What's that?

That's someone with solar blood and, as a result, is able to wield the power of the sun! I use my power to battle the forces of evil and defend the innocent. It's dangerous work, but peace is always worth fighting for.

Solar blood. How interesting!

[Her face lights up. Something new to investigate!]

Yup! I got it from my father; he was a great man...

...Anyway, have you been here long? I'm not too familiar with this place, but I've met a few ponies before waking up here.

Sounds a lot like my relationship with my Grandfather. He's given me so much.

I'm new here as well. But I'm very lacking in experience with ponies.

[Shr then realizes she's rudely not introduced herself. So the following will include a frantic bow.]

I'm Yayoi.

It's nice to meet you, Yayoi! And I think you can do just fine, even without much experience with ponies; they're nice enough to help others whenever they need it. I think that's a trait everyone should have.

[Applejack has already run into a pony of someone she knew in Mayfield but who wasn't the copy she met, so even though the name caused her to perk up, she was at first cautious.

But then, he mentioned phones and menacing unfamiliar places, so she can't help feeling optimistic. Or from having a huge smile as she replies on the scroll.]

Django?! You came here from Mayfield too?

Applejack! Hi!

(He has the biggest smile on his face right now.)

Yeah, I woke up from Mayfield just a few moments ago! Are we in your world right now?

We sure are! Or maybe one that's pretty much like it. There's a few other of mah friends here who seem to be from a different place, so it's starting to sound like there might be more than one Equestria. There's even another me here...

Still, this is pretty close to the one Ah was, er, 'copied' from. The farm's here and so's mah family! You need to come by and visit sometime!

That's great to hear! I bet your family loves having two of you around! That means twice as much Applejack to enjoy, right?

I'd love to meet them, if I can; I don't think I'll be too busy, aside from what I usually do.
