First Scroll [Action/Video]

[A giant glob rocks the foundations of the Ink Well- No not this time, jk guys. It appears the Well has been quite busy as of late, as no sooner than a day or two had passed before it began to bubble with activity again. A glob of ink about the size of a beach ball had spurted forth from one of the many mouths of the fountains, dropping with a soft

*Ichigo's rolling a decently-sized snowball past the fountain, but pauses when she hears him talking. Hovering up to land on top of it, she smiles at the little dragon. Not as little as her, but shush.*

Oh, are you new here? Welcome to Ink City! ♪

*Tilting her head, she adds:* ...If you're cold, I could help you pick up some warm clothes over at the warehouses...

[Well now he's seen it all. Spike watches as the strange child hovers over to where he is. At least she seems to know what's going on.]

Ink City? Never heard of it.

[He remembers the cold as she mentions the warehouses.]

Warm clothes do sound nice..

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Probably 'cause this is a totally different world and all.

*Trying to smile encouragingly, she motions for him to follow. She'll just leave the snowball here...*

C'mon, I'll explain more on the way! ♪

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

A different world?
[Well, eager to get out of the cold and learn more, Spike trudges on behind her.]

[strawberry_roll]

Yes... You see, this place... There didn't used to be a lot of people here. Only the Mayor and his sister. You'll know them once you see 'em: the Mayor's all black and white and inky, and she's really colorful and bright and cheerful.

So anyway, somehow this city developed a mind of its own, and it's started pulling people and places here from all over the multiverse!

*She gestures to one side, towards a nearby park:* Like Ikebana over there. You can't get a really good look at it now, but it's a flower garden that came along with me. Most people get buildings, though... Like that water tower up ahead. See?

*Now she's pointing to a tall, primary-colored tower.*

That's actually where I'm staying right now, with Dot and her brothers. They're really nice. ♪

Woah..

[Spike follows her gestures, rather obviously entranced by all the new information she was presenting to him. At mentioning that the city was 'alive' however, he stops.]

Wait a second. Alive? How does that work?

[It could obviously be magic, but having a whole city alive was a bit incredulous, if possible..]

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Well... We're not entirely sure yet. Twilight, Parson and others are looking into it, though. It's apparently sentient enough to bring us here, but we can't talk directly with it... or at least, it won't answer.

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

Oh! You know Twilight?

[This was just getting more puzzling by the second.]

I'm her assistant, hopefully I can help her get to the bottom of all this when she comes by again.

[Because he needs to get home liek now >8C.]

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Oh, you're a friend of hers?

*There's a tiny hint of surprise in her tone -- she's used to all of Twilight's friends being ponies. Still, it's easy to accept his word, and she smiles at him.*

That's great! ♥ We'll have to get you to the library later. Right now, though, let's focus on getting you some warm clothes, 'kay?

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

The library's here? How's that work? Does the City take places as well as people?

[He stumbles behind her, not being particularly graceful in the thickening snow. Oh god it must be just a horrible mess without him around.]

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Yeah. It came along with Twilight when it brought her here.

*Fortunately, it's not too much farther to the warehouses... and once they reach their destination, Ichigo gestures grandly.*

Here we are! ♪ Now it's just a matter of finding you something that'll fit...

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

Umm..

[Spike looks up at her, before sifting quietly beginning to look through the different clothes that were stacked up in the Warehouse. He didn't want to get carried away though.]

Is it okay to be taking this stuff? Doesn't it belong to someone?

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Don't worry about it! ♪ Everything here's free for anyone to take. We don't have money, anyway. It's just a matter of finding what you need!

*While she doesn't know his tastes, she busies herself by looking anyway. Who knows, maybe she'll find something he likes!*

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

Well, if you say so!

[He practically jumps into the clothes available, spreading them around in a bit of a mess before he found a rather nice VIBRANTLY HIGHLIGHTER GREEN SWEATER to wear. It was a bit big, so he rolled up the sleeves.]

What do you think?

[Action]

[strawberry_roll]

Great! ♥

*What can she say? Green suits him. Even bright green.*

[Action]

[faxyourscrolls]

Hey thanks for the help! I never get your name.
