[What an unusual sight! Cloudsdale's speedster hero the Wondrous Bolt has something to say over the scrolls. He doesn't look too happy.]

Ponyville, I know there are a lot of hard hitters here so I'm asking for your help. I want to save Queen Melissa and the Element Bearers Zetta has captured but I can't do it alone. If you think you can help, talk to me about your abilities and let's get started on planning.

Cloudsdale is just about clear of minions for now. If you need my help elsewhere let me know about that too. I can be there, fast.

[Now that it's been a few days and she's had some time to sort her thoughts, when Nephenee actually means to make a post, she's much more calm and, it seems, intensely focused. In fact, those who know her or at least have seen her being pretty cheerful might have an inkling that she's in a much different state of mind than usual, much more..intense.]

As most of ya know, Saturday a..certain pony showed up, an' understandably caused quite a fuss. There's been a bunch o'talk 'bout powers an' such, so Ah ain't gonna talk much 'bout that...what Ah am gonna do, though, is offer somethin' to folks.

For those who want to get stronger physically, there's the Dojo in the Night Market. There's a lot of different things we're teachin': Swords an' Aikido by Morgan Knight, an' he an' Gwen both teach basic martial arts an' fightin'; Ah teach lances, shields, an' battle tactics an' leadership, Dame Rarity is our Bladecastin' instructor, and Mamma Gkika is our axe instructor. If you're interested in teachin' somethin', let Morgan know.

Since there's a lotta folks who need an outlet for stress after all that, Ah'm also gonna be settin' up some real sturdy practice dummies for folks to wail on, includin' one that...is a bit special. Miss Twilight of Mayfield, Miss Coco, y'all get first dibs on that one.
An' for those who prefer to not work out their stress, Ah'm available for talkin' to an' hugs or a shoulder. Also Ah'm bringin' my puppy an' kitty, an' they'll be more than thrilled to love on folks.

An' don't worry; Ah'll be keepin' a sharp eye out to make sure nothin' get outta hand. 

Ah'll be at the Dojo for several hours today, an' after farm work an' classes the next few, an' if ya can't make it, jus' give me a holler.

[Between her general air and tone, it'd probably be a little intimidating, except that she seems to have no idea that the jade magic t-shirt Woona gave her has the words I defeated a goddess twice and all I got was this weird t-shirt emblazoned across it at the moment.
Thanks Woona.]

[Donna's expression is not a happy one when she appears on the scroll, but it is determined. Andrew isn't here right now, which means someone has to pick up the slack. She's addressing Celestia directly, but the scroll is open. Everyone needs to hear this.]

Princess Celestia, where exactly is Stalliongrad, and what's the fastest way to get there? If you've seen Zetta's message, we need to know immediately.

Or... Alastor. You're the one who can teleport, right? I remember seeing on the scrolls. Can you use Zetta's scroll message to get a group of fighters to where he is to stop him?

[ The red pegasus looks like she’s just barely staying awake, nodding off against her spear, but she’s just conscious enough to send out a message. ]

Would everypony… ugh, would everyone please keep an eye out for…

[ She rubs her eyes. ] Okay, I know saying “watch for something unusual” doesn’t really… work, around here. Look, it’s just that there’s a witch in the area, okay? We think its headquarters is the chair shop in the Night Market but we haven’t ever seen her.

And there’s only so much patrolling I can do at night, so… if yer on the Night Market, especially.

and private to Mami and Homura:

Keep yer soul gems handy. C’mon, why haven’t we found her yet?

[Here's a face that hasn't been seen around lately, the unicorn looks a little worse for wear though as she sits up in bed.]

Hi everyone, I'm been sick but I'm feeling better now but Skyfire doesn't believe me and wants me to stay in bed. Can someone tell him to let me out?

[What little Mani doesn't know however, is that Skyfire is standing right behind her and is shaking his head a little.]

You still have a fever. Back into bed with you princess.

[Mani 'eeps' eyes growing wide as she looks over her shoulder at the dragon.]

I said you could go out when your fever clears, if you rest, that should be tomorrow.

[He'll start herding her back to her bed, but he's not taking the scroll from her. There are toys and books all around her bed. Clearly someone was spoiled a little while she was sick. ]

You can keep the scroll, as long as you rest. No more trying to get out. You don't want to make yourself sick again.

[The scroll opens up to an unfamiliar pony sitting at a table delicately sipping some tea. She sets it down and offers a warm smile to the scroll.]

This tea is really lovely. Would someone like to join me? I'm at...

[This newcomer pauses to look at something off-scroll.]

...At a place called Sugarcube Corner. Perhaps we can have some cake, too?

[Wait, isn't she supposed to be confused?]

[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?
