1st Spell: Not in Equestria anymore... [video]

(Why yes, there is a purple pony fiddling with her communicator; it's so weird and why isn't it so accommodating to those who have hooves? Stupid device...

...oh well; at least she figures out how to get it started. Not having magic sucks...)

There's a lot that has to be accounted for here, but I can't be the only one stuck here, right? The note mentioned living near "The White Rabbit" and "Pinga..."

...which brings me to my next question: Merlin? I've never heard of him before, but how is it I suddenly know everything about him? He sounds a lot like Star Swirl the Bearded, but none of this makes sense! And my horn is missing! I don't see the purpose of making me fill in for a wizard if I don't even have my magic with me...

... Ah, yes! [ She nearly tumbles over from behind the door, but after a few moments she manages to stand on both her feet straight up. ]

It's me! Um.. hi!

[She'll be setting this feed on a filter away from their kidnappers now.]

There isn't one. The Rulers don't care about us as long as it benefits them.

Because they really need someone to fill the place. I don't know why we are chosen to represent specific people, but this place apparently needs these roles. We have to keep up what the real denizens left behind.

And they kind of change us to fit the roles, too. I'm not usually this tall [ Actually, she's still small. But not mindbreakingly so. ] for example. But we can get our own traits back, it seems. I got back my normal hair lately and an object from home, too.
That sounds.. really crazy and a bit terrifying, I suppose.

kind of insane really

[Reports. The talking purple horse keeps saying that. What could a talking purple horse find so important to report about? Tasty patches of grass? The movements of enemy groups of horses?]

Assuming your reports do not contain time-sensitive information, that sounds as though it would work.

It should, right? I'll just have to make sure to tell her everything else and continue my studies on the magic of friendship!

(Yup...she just said that. With a straight face.)

Hello.

(Totally not awkward, nope nope.)

My name is Twilight Sparkle. And you are...?

But...that's terrible! Why go through all of this if they don't even care about what happens to us?

[Wonderful!]

i didnt even know there was ... magic of friendship.
you must come from a very different world.

Then that explains why my horn's missing...

(Just looking up at where it should be...nope; not there anymore.)

So what would someone have to do to get their things back?

Well it's mostly just friendship, but there are so many wonderful things that could come from it, it might as well be magic!

But yes; my world is certainly different from this one. It's almost entirely run by ponies and they certainly don't have "hyoo-menz."

How insane?

...magic of friendship. You're joking.

[Do you realize how many times this man has claimed to have no friends, Twilight? DO YOU?]

(Careful. You're going to end up with a pony friend with that attitude.)

Not at all; friendship is a marvelous thing; something so incredible that it can only be described as magical!

[Slightly perplexed stare.]

I have no friends. I have no need of friends. I am strong enough without them.

[...he has no idea what he's just done.]

I wish I knew. Before you came, a lot of us were trying to leave and they caught us. The results weren't pretty.

I still want to help somehow...no one deserves this.

Illusions and enchantments were some of his varied skills, yes.

I have not been here but for a short while... a fortnight, I believe.

(Hajime...no...

You don't say that to THE friendship reporter. You just...don't.)

No need? Look, I've been down that road and I thought the same exact thing; I though they would hold me back or just get in the way, but I was wrong. You may be strong now, but friends can make you stronger. Friendship gives you something else to fight for!

(And this is just the beginning...)

I'll definitely have to investigate that even further. Does this place have a library that I could use for research?

Oh, I see. That still gives you more experience with this place than I currently have. What do you think of it?

Who would steal a unicorn's horn? That's a crime.

Well, more of a crime than stealing a unicorn really. [ This is so awkward. ] No, I don't know who would do that sort of thing. I'm new here myself and the only thing I have missing is my ability to do maaaaaaaaaaa---!

[ Nope, not going to say it. Just going to look red-faced instead. ]

(Well that definitely gets her attention.)

Ability to make sheep noises? Or to do magic...?

I agree. This sounds unnecessarily cruel and unusual.

So...how bad has it gotten here? Just so I have something to work with when putting together an idea of this place.

Nooot sure of that one...

See, the only time I got something back has been after a punishment for an escape try. I can't really make sense of that really.

[ And she definitely is staring at Twilight's forehead, too, now. Horn? A.. unicorn? Oh god, could this person get any better? ]

Usagi, Usagi Tsukino..! [ at least Usagi is a little less awkward now she isn't being clumsy.. and she smiles. ]

You're new here, aren't you? And you're just like that other talking pony!

[He's Undead, Twilight. Friendship is confusing and not to be trusted...and has no idea that if he isn't careful he's going to become some special project for extra credit.]

It makes you soft and creates targets. Weak points your enemies can use against you. Weak points you have to protect.
