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...

(Doesn't matter; you don't tell the pony that friendship is bad.)

Points you want to protect, just as they would want to protect you. Friends work together to cover each other's weaknesses and overcome any trial places before them.

I am. I only woke up here a moment ago.

There's another pony here? Would you happen to know which one?

I fail to see the logic in that. It honestly makes me think the rulers have some kind of mental disorder. You know, the kind that makes you desperate to medically care for another all of the time, even if the injuries have to be forced.

(Well, she's really smart, too! That counts, right?)

[Hajime is about to say something regarding those being protected as incapable of returning protection, but...Amane runs interference for him in social situations. He secretly saves her from monsters, she tells people bothering him to step off. They do indeed cover each other's weak points. He misses that kid...even if she is a huge liability in an actual physical fight.]

...but why would one willingly open oneself up to such a weakness? It is foolish. It does not make sense.

It's one of those things that can't really be understood until you experience it.

But in short: it provides a kind of comfort nothing else can. Sure it might leave them susceptible to the bad, but they're also susceptible to the good.

[No. No, experiencing it does NOTHING for understanding, talking purple pony. If anything, it makes things worse. More confusing. ~~What are these FEELINGS?~~

Hajime's just going to give you a look that suggests he is not partaking of the Kool-Aid you appear to be drinking.]

I do not require comfort. I exist alone, as I have always done. It's good enough.

Unless you count them trapping us in nightmares and making us believe our homes were going through terrible things.

(~~EMBRACE THE LOVE~~)

Then maybe it's time for a change.

...I think that paints a very accurate picture, don't you?

A very accurate one.

There's no such thing as magic.

[ Outright ignoring the original video message and all. What a typical brat. ]

Her name is Rarity! [ she nods - she remembers that name well, after all, talking ponies aren't easy to forget.. ]

Do you maybe know her? I bet talking ponies must know each other somehow..!

[It so does.]

Hmh... I haven't thought about that yet, but it almost makes sense. It's just that I tend to think of Arcanarum as a kind of big machine. And we're the gear wheels to keep it going.
Maybe they want to try the 'carrot and a stick' tactic to get us to stay here and keep it running smoothly?

...why do you care?

[It's not a confrontational tone, amazingly enough. Suspicious, but not confrontational. He is honestly trying to process this conversation and it is completely failing to make much sense to him. ~~Like conversations with talking purple horses are supposed to make sense.~~]

(Uhh...)

Of course there's magic; back home, I was the best magic-user in Ponyville. Even outside of Equestria, it apparently exists. This "Merlin" character used magic!

(~~They make sense in Equestria, okay?~~)

Because you seem like the kind of...being to appreciate friends; sure, you're the strong, loner-type who prefers being on your own, but even loners deserve someone to turn to.

I do! She's one of my best friends from Ponyville...and she's a wonderful fashion designer.

I take it you already know her?

Any chance of factors that could prove beneficial or is it all some sort of nightmare fest?

I'd say that we're not rabbits and not to treat us as such, but considering I live with "The White Rabbit," that idea's pretty much null and void.

I believe so, though I have not explored it yet, if it exists.

As for this place... while I have found the others here to be more than accommodating, I cannot condone the actions of those who have summoned us here.

You do not even know what I am and yet you come to this conclusion?

[Wait...he's recognized the horse as being a horse. He would assume that the reverse is true, that the horse should recognize a human.

...has she seen through his human guise?]

Someone who's been here longer than me might help only because they could've done worse stuff before I got here.

Wow, you were the best really? [ No wait, she can't blow her cover just yet. ] Well, of course Merlin used magic! That's make-believe though.

Yes! We talked before!

... Ah, I think she's still around.. you should visit her if she's a friend of yours, right? I'm sure she wants to see you.

He might be make-believe, but I can assure you that I'm not. Neither is my world, Equestria. Same for the magic that keeps it all moving.
