2nd Revenge... Except without the Revenge. [Visual]

[angry_jerk]

[The scroll opens up to a small, cutie-markless batcolt. He looks a little nervous.]

...Is this working? Okay, uh.

I'm Dan? Nice to, uh, meet everyone.

...Is this Camp Atrocious? My parents said that was where they were taking me for summer camp.

...Well, they sort of just handed me a flyer and started driving. But that counts as telling me things.

Could someone direct me to the camp counselor? All my stuff is gone and I can't find my teddy bear Brutus. ...Also, I'm a horse. Is that normal?

[millionbitpipes]

...can't say I know.

[Hm. He isn't sure he wants to deal with Iron AND another kid, but this boy seems pretty well-behaved. And he really can't in good conscience just let it alone. What's the kid gonna do, sleep on the street?]

Tell ya what, kid, I'll come help you find a place. There's gotta be a hotel or somethin' around here to put everyone up 'til we can get home.

[angry_jerk]

Really?! I mean, I don't want to be a hassle or anything.

[millionbitpipes]

Hey, we're gonna have to find a place for everyone sooner or later anyway, right? Can't just leave a bunch of kids to fend for themselves, especially not after somethin' like this. Don't worry about it.

[angry_jerk]

Oh, well thanks Mr. Harvey!

Should I, uh, go somewhere more open and easy to find?

[millionbitpipes]

[He looks around, trying to figure out if he can see anything that's visible on Dan's end of the feed.]

Where're you at right now? Any tall buildings or anythin'?

[angry_jerk]

I... think I'm near some kinda colorful building?

[millionbitpipes]

I think this whole place is pretty colorful...

Tell ya what, just turn the scroll around and let me take a look.

[angry_jerk]

...I see your point.

[He picks up the scroll with his teeth and tries to show the general area. It appears he's somewhere between Town Hall and the Carousal Boutique.]

[millionbitpipes]

Hmmmm...alright, I think I've got it. Gimme five minutes.

[angry_jerk]

Sure thing, sir!

[So he sits down and waits. At some point or another he goes to kick something, just to see what it'll do, but he mostly spends his time sitting diligently.

He does this a lot.]

[millionbitpipes]

[Luckily for him, when Harvey says he's gonna show up, he actually darn well does.]

Hey! There you are, kid! [He comes jogging up, smiling at having finally found the boy. Poor kid. Who the hay's droppin' all these little kids in this place, anyway?] Sorry, got a little turned around back there. You doin' okay?

[angry_jerk]

[He looks up in excitement at the voice.]

Hi Mr. Harvey!

It's no trouble! I'm doing alright. Yourself?

[millionbitpipes]

Fine, fine.

[He ain't got any leads on how to get out of here yet, and Iron is just about to drive him out of his darn mind...but he isn't gonna dump all that on the kid.]

C'mon, you had anythin' to eat since you got here?

[angry_jerk]

Uh... no, nothing yet. Food'd be awesome.

[millionbitpipes]

Great. Let's go find some, then. I ain't got any pony money, but I'm sure we can work somethin' out.

[angry_jerk]

I'm guessing that exchange rates are pretty hard to figure out in pony land though. So that's not an option if we had American money.

[millionbitpipes]

[He gets a slightly odd look just for bein' such a young kid goin' on about exchange rates.]

Ah, don't you worry about it. Wouldn't be the first time I've sang for my supper.

[angry_jerk]

...You're a singer? That's pretty cool.

[millionbitpipes]

Sure am. If nothin' else, I can just panhandle for a little bit. Works every time.

[angry_jerk]

You know, you're pretty cool Mr. Harvey!

[millionbitpipes]

[He just smiles.]

Thanks, kid. Now let's get you taken care of.
