@ "I was a pony." She corrected, feeling her curiosity become slightly subdued by Chloe's brash reaction. "There isn't much left of my former pegasus body. It's hard for even me to believe that it was only a few hours ago me and my friends were battling a dragon pony and a large force of changelings. It seemed like we were winning, but then the dragon pony, Avarice, created these 'tears' in the sky. Most of us got sucked into them, and were transported here. At least I assume we all did." Rainbow didn't normally ask other ponies for help, especially when she hardly knew them. But in this situation, it seemed that she would need assistance from Chloe. She would have to do whatever it took to gain her trust. "What is it going to take for you to believe that I'm not crazy?" She asked. "I'm not sure what I'm capable of anymore, if anything, but I want to prove to you that I am who I say I am."

@ "Finally!" she replied, "This place is waaaaay too boring for me. As much fun as staring into space and being evicted from me seat is, I think it's time for a change of scenery." She got up from her seat. "So, where are we headed off to?" She asked as they went out the door. "You seen any of my other friends at all? They were all with me when it happened, so I assume they were transported here, too"

@ Rainbow couldn't believe they were even having this conversation. It's just a stupid seat! She thought to herself. Not showing the slightest bit of concern, she dryly replied "Sure bud, have your seat. Knock yourself out." She slowly got up and walked over to another seat next to a window, and more importantly, away from this weirdo. This was not worth fighting over. Dash noticed that Chloe came out from the back, and cast her an annoyed look. As far as she was concerned, the sooner she could get out of here, the better. There just wasn't anything for her to do here.

@ Rainbow watched as the small group of people entered the pub; she assumed these were some of the others who worked here. They stared at her for a moment as they walked by, but that didn't bother her. She was used to being the center of attention, for multiple reasons, good and bad. She wondered how long she would have to stay sitting there, until an old man entered the building, and slowly came towards her. "'Scuse me lass, but you're in me seat." He said. Rainbow was confused by this statement. What sort of world was this? She hadn't hear anyone say that since she was a filly at school. She briefly looked at the stool she was sitting on, and then to the ones near her. She didn't notice anything particularly special about it, other than it looking a bit more worn than some of others. While she didn't really care where she sat, she didn't really see a need to move, either. "Umm...couldn't you just sit somewhere else? There's plenty of other stools around here." She motioned to the array at her right.

Personally, I don't see a need for this. If you want music with your profile just add a link via YouTube or some other site. Most people already videos or music on their profile; just takes one extra click to start it. Is that really a big deal? No need to have the devs spend time integrating something into the forums that we more or less have already.

@ "I know I'm not from here! Great you can finally believe that!" She replied sarcastically as she exited the car. They entered the pub, and Rainbow took a seat while Chloe went to the back to get things ready for the day. Dash casually surveyed her surroundings; looked like your typical pub, only she noticed more of the slim boxes with the weird glass displays. Only these ones weren't lit up likes the previous ones she has seen in the car. So there's more of these humans coming, huh? I'm gonna have to deal with three more of them? As if one wasn't bad enough! Hopefully Chloe will help me out here and I won't have to explain myself all over again. Then her thoughts wandered to her friends. What's happened to them? She wondered. Are they stuck in this rotten world, too? I've got to find them...somehow. Without wings. She sighed. Her wings were her life, and now she would have to live without them. If Chloe was any indication of what these humans were like, they seemed pretty average. Was she now as mediocre as they were? Rainbow tried to reason with herself. Surely this wasn't the case. At least some of her awesomeness had to transfer to this world. She would have to figure that out later. Her thought process was interrupted when she noticed a couple more cars pull up in front of the pub. Come on, Dash. No point in being nervous about this. After all, you've always been able to hold your own. You got this. She would often have these little 'pep talks' with herself when faced with uncertainty. She found that helped her a lot.

@ Rainbow slightly nodded her head, not really understanding her explanation; she had just wanted to know what it was called. "So it's called a 'car', huh? What's a dinosaur?" she asked as Chloe plugged something into the car. Soon, music started playing, from seemingly out of nowhere. Again with the weird technology... she thought to herself. Some sort of device that lights up with words and pictures on it...and it plays music, too? No shortage of surprises around here.

@ Once they arrived at Chloe's house, Rainbow's world got turned upside-down. This world was nothing like Equestria at all! Her home was a rather curiously designed building, unlike anything Dash had ever seen. But then her attention turned to...whatever it was that Chloe sat down in. It looked somewhat like a carriage, but there were no horses around to pull it. Then Chloe inserted the key she had been holding onto into a hole, turned it, and then the carriage made a weird mechanical whirring sound. Then she turned to Rainbow, looking at her with an expectant glare. She took this as her cue to get in. They closed their doors, and once Chloe pulled down on a lever, the contraption started moving all by itself. "What the hay is this thing?" She asked, overwhelmed by all the unknown buttons and gadgets that now surrounded here. "How can it be moving by itself? We have trains in Equestria, but this sure doesn't look anything like one!"

@ Rainbow rolled her eyes at Chloe's remark, and begrudgingly accepted her offer of help. "No, I haven't been drinking." She replied dryly. "It doesn't seem like I've got much of a choice, so let's get going." As the two of them walked to Chloe's home, Rainbow slowly became better at walking, and eventually was able to move on her own at a decent pace. She was about to ask why they were going to a pub so early, but then it dawned on her that it might be where she worked, so Dash chose to say nothing.

Who says I can't have both? As a journeyman CT mechanic I can pretty much guarantee I'll be making at least $32/hr. That's not even considering any management possibilities. Of course it'll take time to get to that wage, but when you can show up for work each day and be happy to be there, who cares? That, to me, is priceless.

@ Rainbow couldn't help but smirk at her reaction, considering it to be partial payback for all the interrogation. But then reality hit her hard when Chloe mentioned to get up. She didn't really want to go anywhere with this human. Under any other circumstances, she would strike out on her own. But there was no telling what she could find in this world. Her best bet would probably be to stick with Chloe until she had a better idea of what she might encounter. "Fine, I'll go along with you." She replied reluctantly. Then she attempted to stand up, using her 'forelegs' to support her until her full weight was on her 'hindlegs'. This lasted for all of three seconds, after which she found herself face down on the ground. She murmured something unintelligible while her face was in the grass, and then lifted her head up to face the human, hoping she'd take the hint that she needed help. (As much as she didn't want it.)
