Whoof... It's taking longer than expected, but my shop's coming along nicely! There's still work to be done, but when it's really done, I can start selling many of the Apple Family's stuff here and maybe a few other things, too!

If there's something you want, let me know!

[Locked to Cure Item holders, so surprise her if she doesn't know it.]

Oh, before I forget, I've added a spot upstairs so we can hang out. L-like a base or something! We're all Cures so, we need to stick together one way or another... Like a team.

I-if you want to visit now, I wouldn't mind it at all!

Ok...so I guess I just start here, huh?

[Marvelous is fully transformed into GokaiRed, ready to make a big announcement.]

Ok, so I've gotten wind that a number of you guys out there have come into possession of, whether it was because you found or bought them, some of my property.

[He'll hold up the Ranger key corresponding to how he looks.]

Now, Ako has convinced me (barely) that just going and demanding them back isn't a good idea. But, I've had a while to think and I believe I've come up with a compromise of sorts. So, hear me out.

[He'll drag the treasure chest into view. It's open with his other three keys inside.]

Now this here chest: back home it allowed my crew and I to have access to every key at once when-ever we needed to change. That was accomplished with the use of this.

[He'll motion to the buckle on his belt. And here's a demo. Once he's standing, he'll click the top and suddenly, there's Red Buster's key sitting inside, no longer in the chest.]

No idea whether this is the chest being heavy tech or whether it's magic or whatever, but you can see that it works. Now, here's the proposal: I can go into the dungeon and try to find more of these, and if you guys all put the keys you have into the chest, you'll not only have access to them at all times you have the buckles, but you'll have access to the rest, as long as someone else doesn't already have it in use. Plus, that way they're all in one, safe place.

But, I do have a stipulation or two for this: I wanna see how you all handle yourselves with them. It won't be too hard. Just a bit of a spar. That's all.

Also...any Ranger keys you find or buy HAVE to go into the chest right away. If you find one and you can't afford it, or it's hard for you to get, give me a ring and I'll try to help.

So...any questions?

[ Around Ponyville, there's an Earth pony with a couple of sabers strapped to her sides as well as looking more like she belongs on the sea than on land, what with the choice of her clothes saying anything.

She's trying to stand on her own four feet and walking, but it's easier said than done. She's used to walking on just two legs, but she's known for her stubbornness, so even if someone asks if she needs help, she'll keep trying on her own to walk. ]

Bloody hell, this has got t' be one ruddy trip. [ She normally never uses British slang if she can help it. The British were after her, just as much as the rest of the Navy was, but this situation was a little, well... distressing. ] 'N here I gave up alcohol fer th' most part.

Maybe someone slipped a lil' opium in me drink when I wasn't lookin'. Wouldn't put it past Mayfield, tha's fer sure.

[ She's aware she's talking to herself since that's how she normally deals with things like this. Perhaps you want to make her aware? ]

[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?
