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

[magicalrealist]

(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...

Yes, she is here. Over in the Lilac District.

[magicalrealist]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely have to go visit her.

My name is Twilight Sparkle.

Nice to meet you Twilight-san, I'm Sora. I would say welcome to Arcanarum but it's a little complicated.

[Video]

[magicalrealist]

It's nice to meet you all the same, Sora.

But if I may ask, just how complicated is it?

[Video]

[dreamsonwings]

Well...the idea of 'replacing' the ones in our place now, it's literal.

[Video]

[magicalrealist]

As in they actually expect everyone they forcefully bring here to take up the role they're given?

[Video]

[dreamsonwings]

Pretty much.

[Video]

[magicalrealist]

And what's the point of that? Because unless they're putting on a grand play one day, I don't see the point.

[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.

[magicalrealist]

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

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[dreamsonwings]

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.

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

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.

[dreamsonwings]

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

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

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

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[dreamsonwings]

A very accurate one.

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

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

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[dreamsonwings]

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

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

That makes sense. Still, there at least has to be a way to pass the time, right? Maybe a library with a collection of books to read and organize?

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[dreamsonwings]

I'm sure they have one here; maybe we can go together some time.

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

I think I would love that. Is there a particular time that would work for you?

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[dreamsonwings]

I'm good with anytime.

[Not much to do by sitting here.]

[Video | Ruler Filtered]

[magicalrealist]

So am I.

Tomorrow, then?
