1st Spell: [Video]

[friendyousohard]

Er... I think this is how it works.

Um... greetings. Er... I mean, hello. Or... well, whatever humans say in a situation like this. Is there proper etiquette for when you've been captured to another planet and had your species changed?

[Twilight is interrupted by a Dratini sticking his head into the camera, curious.]

Spike, cut that out. Um... and if the other Spike is seeing this, I promise, I named him after you, he's not a replacement.

Speaking of people listening to this, can anypony tell me if there is an Applejack, a Fluttershy, a Rarity, a Rainbow Dash, or a Pinkie Pie around? They're all very close friends of mine and I'd very much like to get in touch with them. As for me, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

I guess that's all I have for now...

Wait, no. One more question. How do you humans walk with two legs? I feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face!

Do not fret, Twilight Sparkle. Goldenrod City is the biggest city in Johto, thou ist certain to find what thou is looking for here.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, what I'm looking for now is you and the others. Once we're together, I can worry about the rest.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

We believe that is a good plan, Twilight Sparkle.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

At the very least, it's the best one I can think of. Tackle one problem at a time.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Tis a good strategy. Once thou arrives in Goldenrod City, we should all be able to consider our next plans of action.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

There's no need for my presence to make everyone adjust their plans. I'm just still making mine.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She gives a shrug.]

Even still, we are not certain in what manner things will be decided. We shall go with things as they happen.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

That sounds reasonable enough. What exactly are your goals while you're in this world, anyway, Princess?

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

To get back to Equestria.

More dry tones! \o/]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Do you... have a place to start, when it comes to that?

Pretend that code fail never happened >A>

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

We suppose the first place to start would be to figure who, what, or how brought us here.

I am already pretending!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Preferably all three... Do we have any leads on those things at all? Even something completely tenuous.

Oh, good! <3

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Our only thoughts are that it would be impossible for it to be magic, as magic doth not exist in this world.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Terrific... Then, a technological force of some sort?

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

That is our only thought. We hath talked to some who come from scientifically advanced worlds.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

How advanced?

[A bit of excitement in her voice? Oh yes.]

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Ah, we are not certain.

[They didn't exactly... get along too well.]

T'was no magic in his world, and thus science had advanced to replace it.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Then we can assume that in a pinch and with the right minds behind it, science can be used as a sort of replacement for magic... Hmmm, I'm more used to them working hand in hand but if one isn't present I guess it only makes sense for the other to pick up the slack.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Indeed. In a world where magic is not present, the only way to possible way to more forward in a society would be with science. We imagine Johto would be an example of such a thing.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Then... maybe the first thing we should do is familiarize ourselves with the technology they use here.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Indeed. As it were, we hath not heard of any sort of communication gear until we arrived here.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Me neither, and that would be something very useful to have back on Equestria. I wish I had a spare, I could take it apart and try to figure out how it worked... but I don't dare do that with the only one I have.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

We are certain thou would be would be able to buy a spare in the stores.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, that's an idea. I'll need to get money first though. Probably a lot, if this is as expensive as it looks.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Indeed. We are not certain how much it would cost, but it tis certainly a step in figuring out the mechanics of this world.
