These days, it's not especially unusual to see somepony emerge from the woods. Although they're usually not quite this colorless. Or sporting such a cruel grin

Jennifer may have watched ReBoot as she got older and less dainty, but she was much more into My Little Pony than, say, Hiro or Strong Bad. As such, she needs a moment to restrain her squee at the sight of somepony emerging from the woods as her jogging carries her past.

Okay, that's a lie. All she manages to restrain is the impulse to break Rule Four by saying Ooh, a My Little Pony! As it is, she still squeaks out "Ooh my, a pegasus!"

Oh, look. A human who thinks Fluttershy's exciting and cute.

Perfect for getting her bubble burst.

"Well, yeah. What, haven't you seen us before? Or were you too busy paying attention to your boring life on the ground to ever look up?"

That oughta do it.

[slidingjennifer]

...well, that was unexpected. "...no, I've never seen one of you in person before. I think you're just a legend in my world. And my life was never really boring, at least not once I got my powers."

Well, well, what have we here? Yeah, sure, somehuman chattering irrelevantly, but underneath that... he certainly looks like a horse. A bit big for Equestria, but then they're not in Equestria, are they?

Continuing to ignore the human, Fluttershy directs her efforts at the horse. "Aww, poor baby," she mocks. "Can't a big stallion like you make up his own mind, instead of letting a lazy human ride you wherever he wants to go?"

She's not certain that'll do it, but he doesn't seem to have enough expression for a good read on his personality.

Well, that kinda makes this a bit more awkward. There's really very little point in insulting somepony who doesn't react. And 'can't' or 'won't' makes very little difference. The grin slips, a bit.

"And why's that?" There's challenge in her voice, but a careful listener could also notice signs of false bravado.

A wild Karkat approaches, and attempts a poooooke of those awful feathery wings.

"OH LOOK, ONE OF WHATHERSFACE'S BULGE-BUMPING PONY PALS. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?"

[needs_fern]

The owner of those awful feathery wings shoots Karkat a dirty look and flaps up a couple of yards. Really, who just up and touches somepony's wings like that? Not very nice at all.

(The narration makes no apology for the double standard implicit in that statement.)

"What's it to you, Candy-horn?"

What? Nightmare Night's coming up, and even if Fluttershy doesn't give out candy corn (though she can't think why not, just now) she certainly sees enough of it. As derogatory nicknames go, it's not great, but she doesn't have much to go on yet.

.....

"HAHAHA, PONY SASS, HOW RIDICULOUS AND ADORABLE."

[needs_fern]

"Ridiculous?" She snorts. "As if you could do any better."

There's a big- nine feet tall- green-skinned fellow in the remains of a blue jumpsuit meant for someone much smaller who's out for a stroll today near the trees. Fawkes has found that vegetation is absolutely fascinating, even though winter is coming and much of it is going away.

Animal life that isn't horribly violent is also fascinating, and anyway he's met Twilight Sparkle, so at the sight of the unfamiliar pony he raises a hand in greeting.
