1st Run [visual]: Money equals food for a hungry pony

[selfmadespeedster]

_{[Wally appears smiling at his viewers. His hair has been tidied up a little more than it usually is.]}

Hey everypony-er everyone. If you don't know me already I'm Wally. I'm another one of the humans brought here from another world.

Would any of you happen to know a place hiring workers or need to hire someone to help you out? I'm in need of a job so I can make more bits. Gotta be able to pay for food.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake were nice enough to let me run some errands for them in exchange for a few meals. -Sugar Cube corner has amazing baked goods by the way. You should go there for a meal if you haven't already.- But there aren't enough orders for sweets across town for them to need delivery constantly and their employee Pinkie Pie takes care of that half of the time any way. Sooo... Yeah. I'm looking for a job.

I've written up a little resume. Take a look.

You're a horse. Your food is growing everywhere!

Re: [Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

I might eat everyone's lawns by the end of the week then.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

I'm pretty sure horses eat stuff other than grass. Like... flowers?

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Yeah... Guess I'll eat the local gardens for desert.

_{[Okay he's being sarcastic.]}

[Visual] He realizes then remembers to ask

[selfmadespeedster]

By the way Man _{[Oh he didn't catch his name.]} Would you by any chance be okay with telling me what was going on before you got transported into this world? Were you awake when it happened?

I'm trying to collect some data. Mister...?

[Visual] He realizes then remembers to ask

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

If you wanna blame it on the rabbits, I'll back you up on it.

I really don't remember. I think I might have been asleep. Oh yeah, the name's Gary.

Re: [Visual] He realizes then remembers to ask

[selfmadespeedster]

_[Laugh] Thanks for the cover Man.

Nice to meet you Gary. Like you saw before my name's Wally.

You weren't the only one asleep before we came here. I was asleep too. I've been asking around about it. Trying to see if there's a pattern. Any chance you woke up on the way over? I didn't open my eyes until I was on the ground in the town square.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Sorry, Wally. I woke up here. I kind of wish I'd been awake to see what was going on, though. Hey, has anyone said they saw what happened when they were brought here?

Re: [Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Nope. Nobody. Everyone I've asked so far wasn't awake when it happened. There are still a lot of others I haven't talked to yet though.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Huh. Being asleep might be part of the thing. You know, like in that one Stephen King story - if you're awake when it happens, it would drive you insane.

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Exactly. It could be required for it to work. Maybe it only could take us while we were asleep or maybe it had to knock us out before moving and changing us.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Like the brainwaves or whatever interfere with the thing... or person, whatever, that's doing this?

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Right. It could even be as simple as needing us to stay still.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Have you asked a lot of people about this?

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Only a few so far. I'm still asking around.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Dude, let me know if someone was awake for it. I totally want to know what happened.

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Sure thing. Keep an eye out for messages from me or that guy Bertie. The two of us are asking around about it and we'll share what we find later.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Bertie- is that the dude who used up like a thousand feet of scroll a while ago?

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Yeah. I only wrote back and forth with him but I get the feeling he's a little talkative.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Talkative? Are you kidding me? That whole thing he wrote was the best example of teal deer I've ever seen. It was the kind of thing that, when some total noob needs to know what makes something teal deer, you would show him that. I'm pretty sure that the Bible is way shorter than that was!

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Dude must really love to write. It wasn't so bad in the end. Actually he put some useful information in there. In my experience it was like reading Shakespeare. A lot of talking but once I caught on to what was going on it was actually entertaining.

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Yeah, I lost interest about a quarter of the way through. The dude was just talking about people he ran into, I just couldn't pay attention after a while.

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

You don't find it funny thinking about how many different universes got involved in this mess? Did you see how many people were on his acquaintance list?

[Visual]

[whywouldyoubuckleup]

Oh wait, there was a list of different universes?

[Visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

He didn't make a list but he mentions stuff in the descriptions about the people that shows they're not from any world I know. Like one girl he met is normally an alien troll.
