To any and all who may be reading this,

Hail, if ill met. When I call us ill met, please understand that I mean no Cruelty, for you are by all accounts fine people steeped in those virtues my homeland most highly prizes; chief among them a Generosity and Kindness I have experienced few times before in my life.

But Honesty bids me say we are ill met. For we have only met under queer circumstances, and dire ones. I have been forcibly transformed, and diverted from a quest of the greatest consequence to the Caelestial Kingdoms that I am honored to call home, and I fear that every second that I am delayed is another second of a long night that my people could not long endure.

If the powers that be are the cause of my dislocation, then I beseech them to return me, in the name of Kindness and by the Dawn and Dusk. If instead they are as perplexed as I am, then I gladly offer my services to find the cause, to make things right, to defend this realm as I would my own, and to be swiftly on my way. I am versed in knowledge of the elements, both the spiritual and their physical reflections, and can call on them at will; and I know much regarding the many planes of existence, and of gates between them.

In all Honesty and by Mae'ghan's horn.

Lucia Bolido

P.S.: This scroll is a marvelous work of artifice. I thank you for such a fine gift.

Oh great, the stupid scroll is malfunctioning.

[Rainbow whacks the image a few times with her hoof.]

Hey, sorry about that, but for some reason everything you wrote on the scroll is coming through like the most boring section of the library.

[visual]

[wizardofharmony]

[Have a Twilight in a straw Black Mage hat staring right back at you. Currently, she's a little confused because she thinks she's heard your voice before, but isn't sure WHERE...]

Your abundant patience and literacy has been noted.

Face to face it is, then. You'll have to forgive me, this method of communication was never common back home...

[visual]

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow would have known even without the ponyfication. She's seen a human Twilight before.]

Oh boy, another Twilight. Twilight's going to flip over this... Well, welcome to our Equestria. Uh, I'm guessing your names are all different over there given how you signed it, though.

[visual]

[sailorlaughter]

...I dunno what most of THAT meant, but if you want the Elements of Harmony, they're in the library! Also, I'm Pinkie Pie and I'm coming to find you now~! Or we could meet up there, that's cool too!

[visual]

[wizardofharmony]

[What. WHAT. No. No way it's that easy. No freaking way. And she's sure she's heard that voice before.]

Rose?

[No. A pink pony. Not Rose. But her VOICE...]

I... Perhaps it would be best if you met me here, if you can find me. I would need direction. I am a stranger here, myself.

[...says the Twilight in the straw black mage hat. Neat robes, too.]

[visual]

[sailorlaughter]

Ohhhhhh, hi Twilight! Are you from some kinda neat universe where we're all human too? That's weird, the other human-me was still called Pinkie Pie!

Anyway, yeah, I totally see where you are! Wait right there! [And then she explodes out from behind the nearest object.] HIIIIIIII!!! Have a Welcome to Ponyville cupcake!

Hi! I'm Derpy Hooves! I'm sorry that coming here took you away from your adventures, but everyone here is very friendly, so there's no reason to act worried! But, don't worry, you'll have a great time here!

Though, uh, Caelestial Kingdoms? Don't know a place like that... There's a Canterlot, though!

Re: Written

[wizardofharmony]

Derpy -

I have, in deed, noticed the good cheer and the friendliness of every one here. I am not so much worried about how I will fare, as I am for the people from home that need me.

It does not surprise me that the Caelestial Kingdoms are unknown here. Would you be so Kind as to describe Canterlot to me?

- Lucia

[seriously what is with the way she capitalizes the names of the Elements god]

[muffin_lover]

Oh, well, it's big. It resides on a mountainside. It has a big castle there, too...

Oh! It's where Princess Celestia and Luna live!

(OoC: Sorry for the late reply. Work and life. Bleh.)

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Have a Trixie, bedecked in a similar cape and hat, though hers are purple with stars on them.]

Ah, Trixie cannot help but notice that you hath taken a likeness unto the vocal preferences of herself! She deems it to sound good on you, but Trixie pulls it off better.

Re: [Visual]

[wizardofharmony]

[Have a lineface, Trixie. Have all the lineface. One of these days she's going to twig to the fact that you're not the Ultros of this world, but today is not that day.]

'Tis to protect my hair. Witchfire tends to singe it.

Trisha. Of course there's a Trisha here, if there's an Iris and a Rose. Have you business with me?

[Visual]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie raises an eyebrow.]

Trixie knows not of any Trisha. She cannot help but wonder just what is wronf with a simple compliment from the most dazzling showmare to ever grace Equestria with her presence?

[Visual]

[foolish_seal]

[Sure, he could reply with text, but writing with a hoof? not gonna happen.]

You just got dropped off too, huh? Makes two of us, then.

Re: [Visual]

[wizardofharmony]

So it would seem. And I have much that I need to accomplish. At least it seems that if there was malice behind this, it is not the malice of those in charge.

I am at a disadvantage. May I have your name, good sir?

[Visual]

[foolish_seal]

[The appearance of what looks to be Twilight gives him pause for a moment, but he shakes it off. Even without the name as an indicator, it's probably not the Twilight he knew.]

Malice isn't usually the point behind these things. Might be random, or some other agenda. No idea until we look.

Name's Minato Arisato. Nice to meet you.

(frozen comment) [Visual]

[swordsage]

[The pony sighs, and blinks, resignation in her demeanor.]

I suppose that I should take solace in the fact that I am not alone in being drawn here from my world; however, I admit to some dismay that I am not alone. I don't think I'd wish this upon my worst enemy...

...I do agree with you on the scroll, however.

[And here, she pauses, and shakes her head a moment, abruptly.]

Maebhrin Tillinath, at your service. If little else, if I can comprehend the runes here, you can avail yourself of my help in your research?

(frozen comment) Re: [Visual]

[wizardofharmony]

Maebhrin. Hail, friend, if ill met. I would give you welcome, were it mine to give.

[Private Visual]

I do not wish to be rude, but that sounds an Elven name. Old Galician, anyway. Is this so?

[angry_jerk]

[Dan spends a moment looking over the text, debating whether or not he should treat this lady with respect or not.

Nah.]

Yeah, we all have problems, pal. Take it up with someone who cares.

[wizardofharmony]

Meddle not in the affairs of wizards, for we are quick to anger.

You will note that I did not mention subtlety, as is tradition. This is because Honesty forbids it in my case.

Love and Harmony,

Lucia

PS: You will note that I broke with tradition again, in that I did not say Love and Tolerance. I trust you can guess why.

[What a cheerful text message!]

[forwantofapartycannon]

Awwww this means we're tied now! Pinkies and Twilights 3-for-3!

[GASP]

THIS CALLS FOR A 3-for-3 PARTY!

Video

[wizardofharmony]

[DEAR GOD IT'S TOO MANY PINKIE PIES ALL OVER AGAIN]

If such happens, I fear I shall go mad with the revel-ation.

[Yeah, she's not keeping that straight face for long.]

Sun and Moon, that was terrible, wasn't it?

[TEXT]

[weekwizard]

The "powers that be" have no interest in returning any of us to our former planes of existence, if they are possessed of any emotion at all.

The reason behind it all is still largely a mystery, both in reason and method. It appears to be magical in origin, as opposed to a technological phenomenon, and there are a few suspects, but beyond that there has been little progress regarding this incident.

[TEXT]

[wizardofharmony]

Do you refer to the mortal rulers of this realm, or to the gods and the cosmos when you make such a statement? For it is easy enough to intuit the latter.

And what evidence would you say suggests the magical origins of this event - and more important still, the mechanism for it? Spatial magic is one of my areas of study, so it may be to the good for us to compare notes.

[This is rather sloppy, as it's mouth-held-implement-written; he's still not got the hang of horn work.]

Hail, Lucia Bolido. My name is Anthony.

[The writer is on a vital mission. Is versed in magic, claims knowledge of spiritual elements and planes of existence. Stalls. But he's caught on it...]

You are a practitioner of magick?

Re: [Text]

[wizardofharmony]

Sun and Moon ever light your path, Anthony.

I am a journeyman of wizardry as it is practiced on my world, yes. In speaking with the people native to this one, it appears this place has become a crossroads between realms. I am aiding them in investigating the cause.
