driftfleet | Once You Pop, the Fun Don't Stop! It's the July Capringle!

[Robin blinks at it all for a few moments, trying to make her brain catch up to her eyes. Then she smiles, and laughs.]

Glad to have been of service! I'm sorry for showing up so suddenly. What is your name?

Nono, you're fine! I know the Atroma beamed me on here pretty suddenly too!

[She hadn't even been on the Marsiva a whole day, such impatient Atroma!]

I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?

You can just call me Robin. Is it common for the Atroma to transport us to places we don't expect?

Nope, just for when they take you from home and when they put you on your ship for the first time! Otherwise moving to planet to planet takes a LOT longer!

Hence the reason we s- fly, there, correct?

[Robin really needs to stop staring. She has a talking reindeer for a crewmate, after all, it isn't really all that shocking that there might be a Horse Fruit Zoan, model: Pony.

But she's so piiiiiiiink.

It's unnatural.]

I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other in the coming months.

[She steps back, and sits on the edge of her bunk.]

Tell me about yourself?

Ooh, sure thing!

[Gonna plop onto the edge of the bunk herself.]

What do you wanna know first?

[Steel yourself for a wall of text, Robin-chan.]

[Robin crosses one leg over the other, and settles her chin in her palm, getting comfortable.]

A little about where you're from and what you did there, I suppose?

Oh, I'm from Equestria! It's in a WHOLE other world from here, though. There's no humans at all and the suns and moons HERE move themselves while the princesses do that back home!

And I live in Ponyville, and I'm the party pony there, so I throw parties for everypony!

[Observant as Robin is, she might even notice the tree balloons on the little ponies flanks. ... If she's not blown away by the sun and moon thing, anyway.]

[The pony has no reason to lie to her, and even if she was lying, Robin has no way of verifying anything she says. So she's inclined to believe it all at face value. She's just got sucked out of her own reality and plopped into a new one, so at this point, literally anything is possible.]

Sounds like quite a bit of work. And a lot of fun. What's your favorite party that you've organized so far?

Um, is that a trick question? I love ALL the parties I've thrown!

[And boy, is she shining with sincerity about it too.]

Right.

[Of course, what a silly question. Robin's beginning to get a sharper image of Pinkie Pie's character.]

I assume you're friends with literally everyone as well, then?

Everypony in Ponyville!

[And she means it too, she LOVES her town and makes SURE she's friends with everypony. Sure there's the occasional bad guy, and ponies outside of her home turf take a little longer to warm up to her, but in Ponyville? She really does her best to be everypony's friend.]

[She does her best not to laugh, it's pretty obvious Pinkie Pie at least believes it.]

Sounds like no small feat. And here?

Heehee, well it's a little harder here, but the friends I AM making are pretty amazing!

Tell me about them? Perhaps some of the ones you spend more time with?

[Sometimes the easiest way to see what a person is made of is to ask them to describe others.]

Let's see... Finn and Poe are both from the same world, Finn's the first human I ever saw on the communicators! They're both REALLY nice, and Poe's super fun to ride with when he's flying the shuttles! We've been working on them a lot together! And Finn's learning how to use this Force magic where he can sense stuff and move it around, kinda like a unicorn!

Qing's really nice too, he's a lot calmer and a GREAT medic and cook! He's the first human I saw in real life! And Captain Dany's really calm and elegant too, and she's a queen back home! Marian's funny, but we don't talk very much.

[And that's just the ones on THIS ship. She's got quite a few more around the fleet.]

Finn, Poe, Qing, Dany, and Marian. Is that all of the crew? I look forward to meeting them.

Yup! And me and now you~! Hee, I think you'll like them a lot!

Mm. I hope so. It's good to meet you, Pinkie Pie.

Hee, it's great to meet you too, Robin! I hope you like it here!

I hope so too, though I intend to transfer to the Bloodsport. I have nakama there. The closest thing I've ever known to family. That won't cause a problem, will it?

[Thankfully, the augment translators include Japanese (or whatever they call it in Robin's world), so Pinkie doesn't need to ask for a definition.]

Oh no, go for it. I mean we'll miss you, but we can still visit each other right?

[Right?!]

Edited 2016-08-19 23:55 (UTC)

Of course! I have no intention of burning bridges.

[At least, she doesn't have any yet.]

I just wanted you to be aware. I put in a request to join the Bloodsport originally, but it seems the Atroma have other plans. In any case, I'll do my best to be an asset to your crew.

Aw, I'm sure you will! AND a great friend too!

[Here, have a pony hug to prove it.]

[W o w. Robin's gotten better about hugging and the like but it's still... not a thing she expects from people.

Or ponies.

Not that she doesn't like it. She loves physical contact, actually. It's just... too close. What if the pony has a hidden knife, or giant fangs, or some other method of up close and personal assassination?

No, that's stupid. Robin, stop that. She's just a friendly thing that loves her friends. That's something understandable, isn't it? Relax.]

Oh, um. Thank you, I guess.

[Robin manages to at least not push Pinkie Pie away?]
