[The feed flickers on, revaling a pony that might be familiar, if you were at the races. Yes, once again, B is disguised as L. The false L flops onto one side, holding out his scroll to capture his face.]

Hello, other ponies.I am something of a new arrival here, and I've been watching your interactions via this scroll and other means.

I am aware that some of the ponies here are, like me, human beings that have for some reason turned into ponies.

[B twists his head sharlpy to the side, cracking his neck loudly.]

However, there are some of you that were born ponies in this upbeat and strangely bright world. [B rolls his eyes up in the back of his head, appearing to think it over before he speaks again:] It is to the latter parties I address my question.

Why are so many of you miserable? It's killing me [a soft chuckle.] to see and hear such cheerfully designed ponies acting so unhappy.

[I don't know where we stand on timey-wimeyness but The scroll is sent out shortly after the completion of the Running of the Leaves.]

I am not accustomed to losing.

[Sometime after the ponies wake up, scrolls and quills suddenly start raining from the sky. Don't worry, its not the ponypocalypse, its just a squadron of flying white ponies dropping them from above.

Once everyone receives one, the scrolls suddenly glow and come to life, its surface revealing the visage of a large white alicorn with rainbow hair and a golden crown, sitting on a large, velvet-upholstered throne. She has a calm, reassuring, regal smile on her face as she speaks, though those who know her better can see the light of worry and concern in her eyes.]

Good afternoon, newponies! I am Princess Celestia.

I've heard of your arrival in Ponyville and of some of the more interesting stories that have come from it. We're...not certain how this phenomenon has occurred, but we here at the royal castle will put our efforts into solving this mystery, and I hope you will help us out as we wish to help you out!

Rest assured, no harm will come to you. Nor, as some of you have worried, are we holding you against your will. On the contrary, you're free to move about Equestria as you please, be it through Ponyville, Los Pegasus or anywhere in between. I only request that you use the scrolls we have provided you to check in from time to time, so that we know where you might be when we figure out the solution to this current situation.

If you have any questions, you are free to ask them of me. If I am not available - and, I will admit, there are times when I can be quite busy - there are many other ponies willing to help you, including the other princesses of Equestria. We are all in this together, after all.

[And then she smiles a little more. Its a much more relaxed smile. The concern is still there, of course.]

But, in the meantime, I'd also like to get to know all of you! I always like to meet new people, after all. I hear we even have a dragon?
