First checklist [video (action for Marsiva)]

[checklist]

Who: Twilight Sparkle, open to the public
Broadcast: Unfiltered Network video (accidental - you knew it was coming eventually)
Action: For those aboard the HS Marsiva
When: October 13th

[ The video feed turns on to show a..... pastel purple unicorn pony. The audience probably wasn't expecting this.

She's pacing in what looks like the hospitality deck of the HS Marsiva. And muttering to herself- ] Pull yourself together, Twilight. So this isn't the Thor, but it's still a spaceship. There's probably just been some sort of mix-up. If I can't get in contact with anypony else though...

[ She uses her magic to start going through what looks like an electronic book with the words "DON'T PANIC" written in large letters on the back. ] And the Guide doesn't have anything on this! You're useless, Guide! "I know everything in the galaxy," it says. Bah!

There has to be somepony - somebody - here who knows what's going on. I'll even take a Vogon! A few dozen forms is better than nothing.

[ A small pause- ] And look on the bright side, whatever's going on, it can't be as bad as the castle.

[ OH NO PANIC SOMEPONY ELSE IS- ]

[ Wait, no, she wants to talk to somepony else.

And where is- ]

[checklist]

[ ...Of course there's going to be a new communications system. And of course it's going to accidentally broadcast her arrival. Of course. That's how these things work, isn't it? ]

I'm sorry about that. I'm, um, unfamiliar with this ship. I'm from the Thor. So I'm a little bit caught off guard.

My name's Twilight Sparkle. [ A pause. ] Dr. Twilight Sparkle, actually. [ Have to add that in there. ]

[ after meeting phoebus' crow and being reminded that, oh yeah, talking animals exist and they aren't weird in the slightest actually... riku takes this broadcast in stride. ]

Looks like you've figured out how to use the network already. [ he says it with a little laugh. ]

[ Yeah. Yeeeeah. ] I suppose that's one way of putting it.

[limitstorm]

Lemme guess: Twilight, right?

[ he crosses his arms. ]

If there's no one around you, you're probably on the mothership. Looks like everyone gets sent there if they don't arrive on a shuffle day.

Must be in a different galaxy from the one you're guide's about.

Do you recognize just how completely improbable it is that I'd wind up on a spaceship in another galaxy!? The sheer magnitude of those distances would-

[ NO IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN. Things that make no sense! ]

Unless this ship is powered by an Improbability Drive. Then it's completely probable. Because it's so improbable.

[jarredforlife]

...I don't think any of us know what's powering that ship.

[ ...that is a talking horse.

That is a talking horse!

THAT IS A TALKING HORSE, THIS IS GREAT. ]

Ahaha, that's great~ I'm not alone after all!

[ Look forward to Friday, Twilight, he is probably going to be hanging around you every chance he gets. ]

Buuuuut, a castle doesn't sound too bad, either.

[checklist]

[ Twilight doesn't seem too surprised to see someponyboy else, at least. ]

Not this castle.

But anyway, it wouldn't make any sense for anybody to be alone on this ship. Judging by what I can tell of its size, it must have a crew of at least several dozen. I mean, technically, it could be run by robots and artificial intelligence, but to keep a ship like this running, they would still have to have some measure of ability to think for themselves, making them individuals. So you wouldn't be alone!

....I take it from your words that you're new here, too.

[carreau]

[ But... castles mean a need for fortified structures which means war can happen and that is just fantastic. ]

Hmmm? Sounds like you'd know better than me! That's good.

[ Completely casual about it, shrugging a bit. ]

So~ what are you, anyway?

[ Kind of like he's asking for her name, that kind of conversational tone. ]

[he's just gonna say what we're all thinking.]

Why is there a talking purple horse on deck?

[wilder]

Actually I think that's a unicorn...

[Thanks Kaneis that helps a lot]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

A uni-what?

[this is not helping him. at all.]

[onlyanapple]

Oh wonderful, the talking pastel horses are back.

[ She... squints....

That pessimistic, sarcastic tone is somewhat familiar. ]

You're from... the Thor?

[onlyanapple]

No, I'm from the aforementioned castle. Paradisa.

H-Hello. [SHE LITERALLY HAS NO IDEA WHAT ELSE TO SAY ATM]

Hello! [ Finally, somebody who looks like she can carry an actual conversation!

Okay, so the silver-maned boy was all right, but still. ]

Sorry about making that public. I didn't know it was recording. Awfully convenient how these things always happen.
