[ So if you just happen to be walking through Luceti today, you might spot a girl sitting on the ground next to a tree at the side of the road. Her journal is opened in her lap, and it seems she's rather focused on reading it. See, there's nothing weird about that, but.. she's still wearing the New Feather dress and doesn't seem bothered or

[Sup? Just a cartoon pony trotting along, minding her own business... until she spots Kotimi and stares for a second.]

Uh... hey?

[That's quite the greeting, to say the least.]

[etudism]

[ ... It's a talking horse. Now this is more interesting than rambling off hello in all languages, and for a few moments she just stares at Rainbow Dash quietly, but maybe slightly surprised. It's hard to tell with her blank expression. ]

... You can talk.

[wannabolt]

[Hoo boy. Dash is at least used to this by now, and she just lifts a hoof and flicks it.]

Yep, I can talk. Everypony can where I'm from.

[etudism]

Where I'm from, not every pony can talk.. [ yes, just taking over the use of 'everypony' as if she just said 'every pony'. ] In fact, I've never met any pony at all who could talk before.

[wannabolt]

Yeah, a lot of the hue-mans here say that. But Equestria doesn't have people like you, either. Just ponies.

[Le shrug. It's still hard to wrap her head around a world where ponies don't talk and look so... realistically proportioned weird.]

[etudism]

Oh, so you're from a place with just talking ponies.. [ seems logical enough to her, so she nods. ]

I'm from a place with just humans. ... And ponies, but they don't talk.. Usually.

[wannabolt]

Not just talking ponies. The zebras and buffalo talk, too. Plus dragons and diamond dogs...

[A lot of creatures, really.]

But I keep hearing how a lot of hue-mans don't have talking ponies in their world. Apparently they're like pets, which is kinda creepy.

[etudism]

So all the animals talk, not just the ponies.. I think I can imagine such a world. [ she nods a little. ] Dragons are different though, since they're actually not supposed to exist..

And not all ponies are kept as pets. Some live in the wild too, and others fulfill other duties.

[wannabolt]

[She flaps her wings a few times, hovering above the ground. Note the fact that... well, she's got more than her Luceti pair. Pegasus powarrr and all that.

Still, wild? ...weird.]

Dragons are definitely real in Equestria. There's even one who hangs around Ponyville.

[etudism]

[ It's okay, Kotomi is just not a very observant type. (Re: the time it took for her to even notice she wasn't home anymore.) She might notice it.. eventually.. sometime.. ]

I haven't even heard of this 'Equestria' or 'Ponyville' place before, and I know a lot of cities in a lot of countries.. It really must be some parallel world.

[wannabolt]

Yep, pretty much.

[La de da, just sorta hovering around. She looks up at the sky for a minute. Maybe she should pull down a cloud and chill...

...naw.]

[etudism]

[ ... You know, maybe she's slowly starting to notice. And with that, I actually mean she's staring for a few more minutes in silence before she finally notices it and speaks up about it. ]

... You can fly.

[wannabolt]

Well, I am a pegasus pony.

[Hover, hover, hover.]

[etudism]

Pegasus? Do you mean like the one from Greek mythology?

[wannabolt]

Greek?

[A beat, and then she crosses her front legs... like a human would cross their arms. Normal horses can't do this, nope.]

Never heard of 'em.

[etudism]

[ Yes, that's pretty interesting.. It actually makes her very curious as to this all. ]

How strange. One would think you are related, with the way you can fly too..
