First Adventure | [Visual]

[italktofish]

[Hello, Equestria. The scroll's video feed opens up on a very large orange pony with a yellow mane, beard, and tail. There's a large trident propped up on the wall behind him, and it matches his Cutie Mark rather well.]

OUTRAGEOUS! Just when I thought this day couldn't get any more unusual, they've given me a magic scroll to record my adventure with! How thoughtful!

[Bad news: he's mistaken the scroll for some sort of personal diary instead of a communication device. This is because he likely quit paying attention when he got it.]

But every adventure needs a good title! I'll call this one..."THE TIME I GOT TURNED INTO A WEE ORANGE PONY AND GOT A MAGICAL SCROLL BEFORE STARTING OUT ON THE REAL ADVENTURE!"

So this adventure all started when I was in the ocean one minute, and on land the next, only I had HOOVES...

[Someone had better stop him before he starts giving an overblown, exaggerated play-by-play of his life story in Equestria up to this point, really.]

[The space on the magical scroll fills, and there's a...little white doggie? Seems someone got ahold of her mommy's scroll and is playing. The small dog barks at you happily, Aquaman.]

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Why, HELLO there, little doggie!

[Aww, it's so cute!]

Who's a good doggie! YOU'RE a good doggie! Yes, you are! Yes, you are!

[Daisy barks happily back. And in the back, there's a yelp and a THUD as something, or some pony, hits the floor.]



Ah, who's there?!

[Well, Nephenee WAS napping, but the sound of someone she didn't know jumpkicked her into defensive mode, so there's a blue filly with teal hair looking around nervously, a lance in her mouth. Wait, who even uses lances anymore?]

Show yerself!

[Well if that isn't a South Carolina accent I don't know what is.]

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Ahoy, there! I'm...well, I suppose I'm talking to your ADORABLE DOG through the MAGICAL PAPER SCROLL THINGY!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

[...Oh. Daisy got ahold of her scroll. That explains it. She trots over and looks at the feed. She's a bit disheveled, but calmer now. Also she's internally wincing at how LOUD he is. Why does this remind her of someone...]

Uh, hi there. Ah'm sorry, ah musta left it where she could get it. Ah hope Daisy wasn't bugging ya.

[Visual]

[italktofish]

NONSENSE! She wasn't bothering me at all--she's an adorable little doggie!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

She sure is. Glad she ain't botherin' ya, though.
Are ya one of the new ponies?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

It would appear that I am! My name's Aquaman--but you can call me Arthur if you want! What's your name?

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

Mah name's Nephenee, Sir. Um, which would ya prefer Ah call ya?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Whichever one you're more comfortable with is fine by me, Nephenee!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

Alright, then Sir Arthur it is. [It has a nice ring to it.]

What type of world are you from, if ya don't mind me askin'?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

It's an OUTRAGEOUS world! We've got a lot of superheroes there fighting against the forces of evil!

What's yours like?

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

[Ah there's that loudness again.]

Super...heroes? We got heroes back home, but Ah don't know about superheroes?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Yes, SUPERHEROES! We dress up in bright costumes, and we use AMAZING ABILITIES OR GADGETS in order to fight the forces of evil!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

[...He reminds her of someone...who was it...]

What sorta abilities ya talkin' about? We've got folks who know magic back home...do those count? But they don't really wear bright costumes. Although Calill wears bright robes...

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Magic counts as a power, definitely! There are lots of superheroes who use it!

And really, even if you don't have any powers, you can still fight with cool gadgets and things...anything works as long as you have HEART!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

[This meant they...had these superheroes back home?]

C-can they use things like swords and stuff?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Of COURSE superheroes can use things like swords! I make a sword out of water when I need to fight sometimes, and my good friend Batman has one hidden in his utility belt!

[Visual]

[fenifilly]

...two questions then. One, lances too? Two, What's the difference between a normal hero an' a Super one?

[Visual]

[italktofish]

Sure, lances are good, if that's what you'd want to work with!

Well, a SUPER one dresses up in a fancy costume! And they've got a SUPERHERO NAME! And they have SUPER AMOUNTS OF HEROIC HEART!

[Visual] AQUABATMAN oh my lord

[fenifilly]

..oh.

[For some silly reason, some small part of her hoped Commander Ike qualified. And a teeny bit herself. But wait, Commander was known as the Radiant Hero, and he was heroic.]

Um, how Radiant Hero for a name?

[Not meaning herself, but he could be forgiven for thinking she was...]

[Visual] it seemed heroic

[italktofish]

Well, there's a start if you want a HEROIC name! Although on my world, someone called Radiant Hero might be Radiant Woman, instead!

[Yeah, he's got the wrong idea...]

[Visual] silly and very heroic. and very Aquaman

[fenifilly]

N-no not me, Ah served under General Ike in two wars back home, but he's called the Radiant Hero! I meant for him. Ah use lances though, but Ah ain't very heroic.

[Visual] there is also a Radiant Hero in Utchy's canon and now I'm amused...

[italktofish]

AHA! OUTRAGEOUS! Well, in his case, at least where I come from, then he probably would have been called Radiantman or something like that!

And don't you sell yourself short, either! There's heroism in ALL OF US!

[Visual] There should be one in every canon.

[fenifilly]

[But Aquaman, selling herself short is what she does best.
And she suddenly remembers. DEVDAN. That's who he reminded her of, oh dear Yune. In any case, she gives a sheepish smile.]

Oh, Ah ain't nopony special...and that's...quite a name. It sounds like it would be hard to sing about in tales.

[Is that a cue? It sure sounds like a cue.]
