"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's actually a metaphor. Kind of the same way you ponies say.." he checked the printed webpage, " 'Ah Hayseed,' They aren't actually made there. But tell me about this 'Camelot' that you were talking about. Do you have a king, or a prince kind of ruler?"

 

"Canterlot, actually," Pensez corrected. "We have a princess- two, to be exact. Princess Celestia raises the sun, and Princess Luna raises the moon. They're both the nicest ponies you could meet, although Luna can sometimes be...er, overbearing." Noticing the confused look from George, Pensez chuckled. "She likes to shout. A lot."

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia nodded. "Well, I may have been a little...er...ignorant." She looked a little embarrassed  "I was convinced he was wearing a costume...it's just really strange, thinking there's an alternate world. I can't imagine how odd we must look to you guys."

 

She looked at the others-since Magneus had left, it appeared to be only her and one other human and a scattering of ponies, including the ignorant one that seemed to think that they couldn't hear him. The fact that he had said faggot only further proved his ignorance and rudeness. People like that made Thalia really upset-they thought they were so cool being racist and homophobic, yet they truly were just insecure idiots.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"Shouting? Huh. Couldn't she just use a mic if she wanted to talk loud?" Noticing Pensez's odd expression, he added "A sound system? Or I suppose she could broadcast it on radio. You are talking about public announcements, right?" as he waited for the pony to respond, he turned to the one that had spoken rudely to him. "I personally don't care for psychology, but I'm sure we're all going to get along fine. Right?" He questioned.

Thalia nodded. "Well, I may have been a little...er...ignorant." She looked a little embarrassed  "I was convinced he was wearing a costume...it's just really strange, thinking there's an alternate world. I can't imagine how odd we must look to you guys."

"Yea...Your, What are they called...Fingers ? When I heard that humans had fingers I felt a little jealous. Its kinda funny, In Equestria somepony broke a record...hold 6 eggs in one hoof...I suppose holding six eggs for a human would be easy." She smiled, Glancing at Thalia's hands. "My name's Light Diamond by the way...You can just call me Diamond though."

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia shook her head. "I don't think I could do that, I have pretty small hands." She held them up and wiggled her fingers ruefully. "But I can imagine it would be hard to pick stuff up for you guys...at leas you guys have wings. I'd love to be able to fly. And can you do magic?" She gestured to Pensez's horn. "That's pretty cool do. I'm just a boring ol' human."

 

She noticed that the hall was starting to clear out a little, the bustle becoming quieter by the moment.

"I wonder where everyone's going?"

"I personally don't care for psychology, but I'm sure we're all going to get along fine. Right?" He questioned.

 

Pensez was unknowingly wearing what his mother affectionately called his 'I Have No Idea What In Equestria You Are Talking About' face. "Uh...radio? I've never heard of- ah, but that's why we need to become better acquainted. There is obviously much we all don't know about the other kind's universe." He stopped to ponder that last sentence. "Other universes...I never would have thought we'd actually be meeting other beings from a different universe. This is so exciting!" 

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"I wasn't even aware that there were other universes." he grinned. "But still! Look at you guys! You can do magic, and fly! On Earth, everything is just as it appears. We don't even have magic, and we can't fly without big machines. Do you have planes in your world? I have a feeling you and I are going to get along just fine."

We don't even have magic, and we can't fly without big machines. Do you have planes in your world? I have a feeling you and I are going to get along just fine."

 

The blank expression returned. "Planes? Are those your big flying machines? No, we have carts pulled by pegasi." Pensez extended his hoof and smiled. "Yes, friend, you and I are going to get along splendidly. Hoofbump?" Noticing the mass of appendages (fingers, of course), Pensez chuckled awkwardly and put his hoof down. "Or, perhaps, we can plan to meet up for lunch. Sound appealing?"

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"Yes, that sounds good. Are we just going to go to the cafeteria? That's okay, but I've got a car if you feel like going somewhere else." He turned. "I suppose I'll be going to be dorm now, so call me if you change plans." He thought, then stopped. "Um, do you have cell phones?"
(OOC: I still haven't figured out my dorm situation. What do you guys think?)

She noticed that the hall was starting to clear out a little, the bustle becoming quieter by the moment.

"I wonder where everyone's going?"

"I cant do magic, no...Only unicorns and Alicorns can...I can walk on clouds though...And even if your um...Honds are small you can still hold an egg without the worry of dropping it...Whenever I bake a cake, about three eggs end up on the floor before I manage to get one into the mix." She giggled again then noticed everyone leaving. "You're right...Maybe there was a meeting or something..."

[Standard User 2,127]

"Yes, that sounds good. Are we just going to go to the cafeteria? That's okay, but I've got a car if you feel like going somewhere else." He turned. "I suppose I'll be going to be dorm now, so call me if you change plans." He thought, then stopped. "Um, do you have cell phones?"

(OOC: I still haven't figured out my dorm situation. What do you guys think?)

 

Cars. Cell phones. What a fantastic world these humans must live in! "No, I can't say I've even ever heard of a cell phone. Tell ya' what: I'll just run by your dorm room around lunch and we'll figure it out then. Do you know where you are?"

 

(OOC: Well, since you haven't really gotten a straight answer, you can bunk with me and darklord if you want. If something opens up later you can move out. Everyone wins! Except for whichever of us has to sleep on the floor.)

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia nodded. "I guess I do have that advantage. Having opposable thumbs is pretty useful."

Everyone else seemed to be in conversation and Thalia didn't want to interrupt them by asking if they wanted to go to the cafeteria, but didn't want to be rude.

"I'm going to find the cafeteria, if any of you want to come...especially since I have zero idea where it is."

[The Original 571]

When Magneus caught up, Dirk just had this sort of funny dumb look on his face. Magneus took note of that and he raised an eyebrow, "Whats with the look funny pants?" Dirk laughed and shook his head, "First of all, don't call me funny pants. And two, you were totally checking out that purple one weren't you? She's cute right?" Magneus chuckled and sighed, "No, purple is just my favorite color. And i guess you could say she is cute" he said and shrugged. "OH SO YOU WERE CHECKING HER OUT?" he said louder than he needed to. "Maybe..." he replied. Dirk just simply smiled and nodded slowly, "At least your makin' friends, you don't look like the kind that does that." he stated. "No, not really. That reminds me, what classes are you taking?" "Drama, Chemistry, Human Biology, Business, Communication, Military. You?" "Chemistry, Pony Biology, Anthropology, Agriculture, Computer Science, French, Military, Philosophy." "Yeesh, quite the busy one aren't you?" "Mhmm"

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

Cars. Cell phones. What a fantastic world these humans must live in! "No, I can't say I've even ever heard of a cell phone. Tell ya' what: I'll just run by your dorm room around lunch and we'll figure it out then. Do you know where you are?"

 

(OOC: Well, since you haven't really gotten a straight answer, you can bunk with me and darklord if you want. If something opens up later you can move out. Everyone wins! Except for whichever of us has to sleep on the floor.)

 

He nodded, and proceeded to tell Pensez his dorm number. "Well, if you don't have a phone, I suppose we need some way to stay in contact." He paused for a moment, then smiled hugely. "I wonder if I could find a way to communicate with you using my phone, and you with magic. That would be so cool! Brofist!" He held out his fist.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Diamond glanced over her shoulder at a pony who just yelled something about checking somepony...Or someone out. She shrugged and looked back at Thalia. "I am also completely lost...I thought maybe one of you guys would know. Well, It has to be somewhere around here...Im going this way." She said, Smiling and trotting off down the hall.

[Standard User 2,127]

Pensez looked at the fist (so many new terms! It was giving him a headache!) and stuck out his hoof, placing it against George's fist. "In Equestria we call it a brohoof. Heh, it's almost like someone from our universe created a show based in your universe and made a bunch of subtle changes. Y'know, everypony versus everybody, et cetera..." Pensez blinked. "Sorry, I'm rambling again. Anyways, yeah! A way to chat with your phone and my magic would be very convenient. But it'll have to hold off until lunch - I'm late! Bye!" And with that, he galloped off down the hall.

(OOC: I'm heading out for a while. Got some homework to finish and what-not. I SHOULD be on later tonight.)

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Eventually Bright Spark had gotten bored. Everypony had gone of sonwhere and now here he was, leaning against a wall in a corridor, behaving completley ignorant. He sighed and got off the wall, he picked up the handle of his suitcase and continued to follow the directions to his dorm.

(OOC: i believe tgere is a meeting/ assembly going on?)

[The Original 571]

(No meetings, each student is just supposed to arrive and get comfortable until tomorrow when classes (and other fun optional events) start)

Magneus laid down in his bed and looked over at Dirk. "At least i know where everything is now. I think i saw a couple of mares looking at my strangely" "Well if i was a mare i would definitely look at you strangely" he snickered at his comment and laid down on his own bed as well. "No, not THAT sort of strange. As in they dig me kinda strange, would they really be interested in a human?" he asked Dirk. "Well, for a human you are pretty good looking. Well, compared to most humans."

 

Magneus had taken it upon himself to trek to the student lounge, there was a smallish bar in the left corner, most of the resting place was on the right side. Magneus noticed a few girls and mares in a small group talking, but he didn't know any of them. He sat down and one of the girls noticed him, she tuned around in her chair and smiled. "Hey, you new here?" "Yeah" "Cool, you wanna join us? We were just talking about what classes were taking and why." "Uh, why not. Of course i probably wont talk much." Magneus got up from his chair and walked over to one of the spare ones that was next to the girl he spoke with.

 

"Whats your name? I'm Kali" "Magneus" "Hey everyone, this is Magneus". A few hey's and hows it goin' were sent in his direction. Magneus simply waved and nodded once. "So Magneus" started one of the mares on the opposite side of him, "What class are you most looking forward to?" "Hm... Probably Drama, i heard the teacher is pretty cool" "Yeah, she's awesome. There is this thing where all the students get together and the guys and stallions get auctioned off to the girls, or guys, if you're into that, and if your bid wins then you get to do whatever you want with that person, or pony, for a whole day. Its pretty fun, and the bids can get ridiculously high" "Sounds intense..." "Oh it is, usually only the cute or popular ones get bid on a lot. If you were to get auctioned off, it would probably get around 1000 dollars, or 2000 bits. Depends on the race" "Really?" "Maybe" she said and gave him a quick wink.

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

George walked into his dormitory. According to the papers the registration pony had given him, there were three people in this room. Well, only one person. Two ponies, however.

(OOC: What is the layout of the dorms? Does each person have a separate room, or is it all one room?)

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia followed Diamond down the hall, but as she looked around didn't notice a girl who had her head down. For the second time that day Thalia had the breath knocked out of her, and she gasped. The other girl had been knocked flat to the floor and she stood up rapidly, chewing her lip. She had dropped a few books and quickly gathered them up.

 

Thalia felt an angry retort bubbling in her throat, but, realizing it was just as much her fault, smiled and raised her hands in a surrender position. "Sorry, didn't notice you there." She picked up the final book, a thick, heavy tome on pony anatomy, and handed it to her with a grunt. "How are you carrying all that?"

 

The other girl smoothed her long and faded skirt out and smiled briefly, resembling a nervous and rather pretty rabbit.

 

"There's a most extensive library," she said, and her voice was surprisingly confident. "I couldn't help myself; I'm a huge biology and anatomy nerd."

 

Thalia nodded. "They both seem cool, but I've never really tried them."

 

The girl nodded, her brown hair flopping in her eyes. She flicked it back and admitted, "I've never been to a real school before."

 

"Neither have I," said Thalia, and the two shared a look. They both knew the hardships of being homeless.

 

"Let's just say we're...homeschooled," offered the other girl, and Thalia laughed.

 

"I'm Olivia, by the way. Feel free to call me Liv." She managed to balance the books in one arm and thrust out a hand, which Thalia gratefully shook. Finally, someone she knew she wouls get along with.

 

"Thalia. Call me Thai," she said with a grin. "Hey, what room number are you?"

Olivia shrugged. "I haven't checked. It's in my pocket; you can take a look."

 

Thalia flicked it out with a practiced hand and brightened. "You're right next to me, we have adjoining rooms."

 

Olivia smiled again, more broadly this time. "Let's dump my books off then. Are you headed to the cafeteria too?"

Nodding, Thalia felt a little bad. "Yeah, I'm supposed to be going with Diamond...she's a pony."

 

"Oh, this whole pony thing is so wonderful," said Olivia dreamily. "I'm so excited to do anatomy on them! And think of all that they must know that we don't! They invited me here for research, actually."

 

They had arrived at the room and Olivia carefully placed books on the dedk provided, as the pair headed for the caf, chatting like old friends.

George walked into his dormitory. According to the papers the registration pony had given him, there were three people in this room. Well, only one person. Two ponies, however.

(OOC: What is the layout of the dorms? Does each person have a separate room, or is it all one room?)

 

Pensez stopped short in the doorway of his dorm. "Well, fancy meeting you here!" Pensez laughed jovially and walked into the room. "I think with three it'll be a little cramped, but it shouldn't be too terrible. Would you happen to know who our third is, anyways?"

 

 

OOC: This will be about the tenth RP post in a row I've made that ends in a question. xD

 

[Doctor-Whooves 288]

"I would enjoy knowing who it is," George answered, grinning when he saw who he shared his dorm with. "Is it another pony like yourself, or another person? I suppose I would be fine with either, although I only saw one other guy human. Anyway, I get the bed farthest from the wall." He added, setting down his suitcase next to said bed.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"You can go with your roomy...I don't mind, We can catch up later." Diamond smiled at Thalia and Olivia as they walked off towards their room. *I Still don't know her name...* She thought, Happily trotting down the corridor.

After a few minutes of searching she found the cafeteria. *Bout time.* She thought, trotting over to a salad bar. *Bacon ? I don't know what that is...I think im gonna skip it.* She thought, Loading a bowl full of carrots and lettuce, then trotting up to the front counter to pay.

[Standard User 2,127]

"I would enjoy knowing who it is," George answered, grinning when he saw who he shared his dorm with. "Is it another pony like yourself, or another person? I suppose I would be fine with either, although I only saw one other guy human. Anyway, I get the bed farthest from the wall." He added, setting down his suitcase next to said bed.

 

"I certainly wouldn't mind bunking with two humans. Oh, all the wondrous things I would learn about your species!" Pensez reared up and clapped his front hooves together gleefully. "I'll take the bed closest to the door." He tossed his meager possession onto the bed before immediately sprucing up the heap into a neat, organized pile. "So, George. If we're gonna be rooming together, we should know a bit more about each other. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?"

 

(OOC: Another question. I think I'm broken.)

[Mephala 2,633]

Thalia and Olivia had found the cafeteria, and they gawked at the crowds that filled the room, splashes of brightly coloured ponies everywhere.

 

A few boys whistled as the two brushed by a table, and Thalia gave them the finger as she shoved past, taking who seemed to be the ringleader's wallet as she did so. Olivia noticed and lifted an eyebrow, but when the guy proceeded to attempt grabbing her butt she gave Thalia an approving glance.

 

Moving through the throngs, they reached the large cafeteria. Thalia had gone in a school before to score cheap food, but her small-town high school was small peanuts compared to this.

 

The two headed for the salad bar, neither used to the massive amounts of food presented, and shortly moved on to the register with barely anything on their plates. The pony running the cash muttered something about kids being too thin these days as she took the money and waved them on.

 

The pair walked back out, searching for a place to sit down.
