[The first thing one might notice is a mare only a few inches taller than most fillies is standing in the middle of Ponyville clad in some odd clothing. A white dress shirt collar and a black suit jacket adorn her upperbody along with a black tie wrapped around her neck carefully.

Taking a deep breath she plops herself down to sit, head raising to the sky.]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[She doesn't seem to be the happiest of ponies to be here, especially considering she's stubbornly refusing to move from her spot and force other ponies to walk around her and not make eye contact.

Following her outburst she just huffs and gives a derisive snort to anyone making the mistake of looking at her in the wrong manner. She doesn't have her weapon and already is putting up the walls, not wanting to be in this place while she has a job to do.]

[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?
