Who: The Vision and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Windrose
When: Today!

[The video clicks on to an unusual-looking man with maroon skin and a yellow gem set into his forehead. Though he's been a familiar sight around the Windrose, the Vision doesn't tend to post much so he wouldn't be surprised if there are many unfamiliar with him.

This is a special occasion, however. There's even what looks like a cake in the background.]

There was a slight time differential between my last memories of home and the calendar here. Namely, I seem to have missed the month of June entirely. Given that lack, today is the three hundred sixty-fifth day since I was created.

Accordingly, there is cake and ice cream on the Windrose for any who should care to visit.

[He pauses and furrows his brow slightly.]

I cannot vouch for the taste of either, but I assure you they received the highest ratings from the shops they were purchased at.

[She flushes faintly. Well, ask a stupid question...]

I should have known that would be the answer. Chopper comes from a world also filled with humans. Perhaps he's a rarity there, also... though the ponies, I think, are a different story.

[Well, it's not like he's a great representation of how "human" the Earth of his time is.]

They are, I believe. The two in the fleet are what they call "Earth ponies", but there are winged pegasi and horned unicorns as well, apparently, and together they make up a society. [He shakes his head, still looking slightly amused.] It's no stranger than some other alien societies, except in that they are so similar in appearance to the horses we know.

How many alien societies are you familiar with?

[Genuinely curious. The Fleet itself seems mostly comprised of normal men and women, albeit some of them have some decidedly odd gifts.]

I'm only truly familiar with a handful, but I read a great deal about other planets while we were on the Starlight station. While I cannot verify the accuracy of those accounts, it certainly provided some excellent ideas.

I've seen some on our travels, of course, though I don't really go out much.

But...I like the idea of alien societies. Wholly unfamiliar places with their own culture, so different to ours.

[It's a reminder that the strict rules she was governed by in her own life are only held by a comparatively tiny niche of the vaster universe. Something she appreciates more and more, as time goes on.]

[He smiles at that, though mostly to himself.]

There are so many of them - anything you can imagine is probably true somewhere. Even on Earth alone, no two lives are the same.

I consider that beautiful.
