private An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (Closed!)

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

((So, starting the 27th of this month, I will be gone for two weeks. I may be able to get on. But rarely. I am visiting a friend and I don't want to have to worry about forum stuff...sooo...we will see how it goes. I may be able to post once in the afternoons...but it's gonna be difficult for me to keep up.))

Liam couldn't help but laugh at her sudden outburst as they walked down the hall. "Well, first of all, no, there aren't any humans who have wings or use magic. Magic doesn't really exist in our world, actually. Well, some people believe it does, but it's certainly not a common thing. Not all humans are the same color as me, although most of the people in this building are. Sadly, not all people are as nice as I am, although I don't really like the idea of using myself as a benchmark. I don't know if you'll get to meet other people. Maybe a few. There are plenty of other people in the building, but I don't know that we'll run into any. And as for what's outside... I don't know, all kinds of things, really. It's a big city, and beyond that, there are highways connecting to all the other cities, and in between cities and along the highways is everything else, I suppose." As they were talking, they went down several flights of stairs and through a door. "Anyway, here we are."

 

Star listened happily to Liam as they moved down the stairs. Everything he said brought on so many more questions but they all were pushed to the back of her mind when they entered the room.
She stared at the strange machines surrounding them...they all looked like simple metal boxes. "Are these human wash buckets ?"

(Don't worry, I'll only secretly resent you for it a little bit.)

 

Liam chuckled. "Human wash buckets? I guess you could say that. I told you it would be interesting for you , didn't I? Anyway, let me show you how it works." Taking her dirty clothes from her, he walked over to one of the washing machines and went through all the steps of setting it up, explaining to her as he did. "And now we just wait for the machine to do the rest of the work for us."

Colette shook her head, chuckling a little. That line of sarcasm went over her head! And Prench Manners?? This girl was out there! "Remind me how to teach you how to use a fork after we get some sleep. It'll be a quick lesson, but it'll help with blending in around here a little more. After that, you gotta show me what 'Prench' is!"

 

Colette then looked at her plate as well, suddenly feeling awkward for not saying anything. "Never had ham, huh?" She asked with a nervous giggle. "It's a little late to be asking, but are you a vegetarian? It's cool if you are and all, but there's something you need to know about ham…"

Reggie was mostly silent for the ride, mostly since she was figuring out where to go online that would believe her story and, more importantly, take her seriously. Finally though. they arrived, and Reggie got off the trolley and walked to an apartment complex a few blocks away. It was nice; not high end, but it was clean, and new. She pushed open the door and walked to an elevator, pressing the 'up' button. Her brow was furrowed, in a way Cat knew meant she was thinking, and thinking hard.

They stepped into the elevator and rode it up to the floor on which Reggie's apartment was located. Catherine noticed the way Reggie looked and raised an eyebrow. She leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Hey, what are you thinking about?" She then thought to herself for a minute and whispered again, "If you're thinking about where we can get some help, I think I know the perfect site. Or at least a very good one."

"Oh I don't really know that much about Prench," Rainbow said, kicking back on the couch and throwing her forelegs and hindlegs in the air. Then scowled at them breifly. They didn't move the way tehy were supposed to, and it was surprisingly uncomfortable to hold this position. She let them droop until they were in a more comfortable pose, unnaturally flush against the cushions. Whatever. She could live with it.

 

"Let's see... un doo twah....bleh bleh bleh...tip your hoof up when drinking tea--I mean, hand...be really prissy and kind of annoying. Oh yeah, and crumpets. Thaaaaaat's about the extent of it."

Rainbow licked lips and settled back. "Naw, I'm not a vegetarian. Tell you the truth, I'm really not that religious." Not to mention Rainbow definately didn't want to mix herself up in whatever bizarre beliefs the creatures here had, if they were as different from the obvious truths ponies knew as were what those zebras were mixed up in. No, Rainbow didn't want any part of that. Hopefully neutral ground was safe out here. "But what's so special about ham?"

@, 

 

Fluttershy was equally stunned to find Alex waking up so early. He couldn't have gotten more than seven hours of sleep a most, and Fluttershy found that she'd sleep about the same as she had when she was a pony. Oh well. Someponies were just early risers. At first she was a little flattered that the smell of her cooking, even when it was in such a strange place, had managed to rouse him from slumber, but then...it turned out he didn't like it.

 

Fluttershy flipped the last batch and piled them on a serving platter, then excused herself from the table to knock n Alex's door before opening it. "Um...Alex?" she called softly inside, her expression worried. "I'm really sorry if you don't like my breakfast. I--I don't want to be a bother..." she moved into the room where Magneus wouldn't hear from the kitchen. "But please, can you just not eat any meat around me? It really, really bothers me. Please."

 

Having asked all she could for now, Fluttershy retreated before the situation could get any more awkward. She didn't feel absolved though, with something still bothering her...Aly making bacon? Would Aly do that? Could Fluttershy ask? Oh well, nothing doing while she was still asleep anyway.

@@Dawn Stripes,

 

Alex's voice in the form of a loud muffle came from his room. "Your breakfast is fine! Only thing wrong with it is the lack of BACON" he said, ignoring the last thing she said to him. He would eat meat whenever he wanted!

 

Magneus sighed and looked at the amazing food. "Jeez. I guess you made up for running off last night... now that i think of it, how did you recover so fast?" he asked her. He assumed it was a cartoon pony thing.

Liam shrugged, but continued smiling, happy she was taking an interest in this rather than focusing on how much she missed her own world. "Well, I don't know, I guess this is sort of what I was talking about when I asked if you had any questions about the human world. I have an amplifier for my guitar that might interest you. And then there are cars, and motorcycles, and... all kinds of other things, really."

@,

 

Fluttershy decided she didn't much like Alex, then, her only tasks for the morning being complete, sat down to have a few pancakes. Or more than a few. She was starving. She hadn't eaten since yesterday morning.

It wasn't polite to talk around food, but after a few bites, Fluttershy forced herself to pause in the quest of consuming the incredibly tempting food to answer, because somepony had asked her a question.  

"Well, pegasi are naturally pretty light. We have mostly hollow bones so that we can fly." She waved her arms a couple times by way of demonstration, sicne planes didn't flap, then realized she was being silly. "Guess I don't do that anymore. Anyway, you sometimes have to be careful, but luckily pegasus magic also helps us heal pretty quickly. I know once when Rainbow broke her wing and wound up in the hospital, she was only there for a few days. Earth ponies heal very well too, I guess, but if Twilight had broken a bone it could take a month or more for it to set."

She crunched up her face and used the thinking opportunity to take a few more bites--this syrup was really sugary, even though it tasted a bit funny. "I guess I don't know if that should apply to me anymore, huh? I'm--kind of a human now." 

[00Pony 286]

Twilight sat down and began to eat the food. It tasted nothing like the food back in Ponyville, but it was still quite delicious.

"Well, cutie marks are, in a way, precognitive, but it only appears when a pony figures out his or her purpose in life," she responded. "Ponies can't choose what their destiny is. That's basically what the cutie mark symbolizes, I guess, their destiny."

 

 

"Destiny, huh?" Logan falls silent for a bit to eat, then continues after swallowing, "I never though much on destiny. I know that my life will take me somewhere, but I'm just along for the ride until I get there, making things up as I go."

 

He finishes and rinses his bowl in the sink, setting it into to wash later and walks over to the edge of the tile, giving a low whistle, calling Ulysses over. Logan sets a cup of food into a bowl for the Shepard before sitting back at the table, "You have any pets back home?"

Charles walking with Rarity, as he smiles since he is a gentleman and nods to her while he open the door for her too. "Sure I will do that and after you." Charles saying as he was thinking, looking around while he was looking at the waiter as he saying 2 to a booth and he was going to pay anyway.

 

Rarity smiled and walked thru the door. She was feeling very happy, and a lot of it had to do with Charles. He was a real gentlecolt, no, here it would be a gentleman and she liked that. This was the kind of pony she could see herself settling down with; somepony who knew how to treat a lady.

There was a bit of a pause after Fluttershy finished speaking. It didn't make all the much sense to him, but he got a general idea of what she was saying. Magneus decided he wouldn't eat, even though the last time he ate was lunch time yesterday.. "So, you still up for going to the Zoo today?" he asked. "Aly and Alex work lunch shift on saturday, so they won't be able to come"

"I have a small assistant named Spike," Twilight responds, "he's a baby dragon, but fully capable of cognitive and rational thought, actions, and speech. I also have a pet owl named Owlicious. Spike's gotten into a few run-ins with him."

Remembering the incident with the rat and the ketchup, she giggled a bit.

"I'm sure Ulysses isn't as bad as Spike can be sometime. He might get annoying, but he's still my Spikey-wikey."

This. Girl. Is. Weird! Colette thought as she watched Rainbow throw her arms and legs into the air... What was she doing?? Colette was finally starting to wonder if this girl's behavior was just an act… Colette only listened and took a bite of the remaining half of her sandwich as Rainbow sort of explained the bare basics of a tea party. Colette raised an eyebrow at the word 'hoof', but snickered at how she explained how one should act. Exactly the reason she would never be caught dead going to one!

 

Colette looked at Rainbow quizzically at the mention of religion. Colette wasn't all that religious herself, but what did that have to do with eating meat?? Oh, right! There was Judaism and Islam, but that was beside the point now!

 

Rainbow said she wasn't a vegetarian, but Colette had to make sure. The more she got to know Rainbow Dash, the more she felt something was off."So you're okay with eating meat? 'Cause that's what ham is."

"A dragon and owl? ... OK, that is actually pretty cool."

 

Logan smiled and chuckled silently at her giggle, shrugging, "Aaah, trust me, Ulysses is still a puppy on the inside. I made the mistake of teaching him to open doors... I've lost plenty of socks to his little endeavors. Speaking of which, unless you don't mind the possibility of him climbing into bed with you tonight, I suggest you lock the door, or just jab his rib with your foot and sternly say no, that should keep him off."

Twilight Sparkle laughed a bit at Logan telling her of his doggy antics.

"My friend Applejack has a Border Collie," she adds, "Her name is Winona. She's also on the crazy side, but normally, she's a good dog. In other words, I've had my fair share of pet experiences."

Rainbow dash tilted her head to one side. She picked up a piece of ham and put it in her mouth and chewed. Very slowly.

 

Her mind was racing at miles a second while her body was outwardly totally still. That...let's see, that actually did make some sense seeing as these creatures she was with could be carnivores...yeah, Rainbow could feel a couple sharp teeth in her mouth now with her tongue that she looked for it, flight feathers, that felt weird. And if they were kinda' like griffons or whatever then that would be normal for them, to package up dead animals just like Manehatten delis packaged up tulip wraps...wow, that was weird.

 

"So. Um." And now Rainbow Dash was eating meat. She was eating someone, or something, some--geeze, hope Fluttershy never found out about this. The weirdest part was, it didn't taste half bad. Rainbow wasn't sure how to make that out. Sure, it was probably natural for them, if that's what they did; as long as they didn't eat anyone Rainbow knew she wasn't in a position to judge them about it, since she knew Griffons absolutely had to to survive so these things probably did too...but. Wow.

Well, just because she was stuck in this stupid body didn't mean she had to do whatever it wanted, did it? Rainbow decided she really didn't want to have to deal with the emotional repercussions of eating meat, so...no more ham. Okay, she slipped one more bite. Now. That was it.

 

Gosh, had she blown her cover? She hadn't, had she? She didn't want to do anything a normal one of these creatures wouldn't do...."Yeah, I uh....I totally eat meat, 'cause that's what we do, that's perfectly natural. Just, uh..." What if Colette tried to put her in a situation where she had to eat more meat if she said that? "Well, y'know. Not all the time. Sometimes I don't feel like it." Okay, so that could have come out better, but...should do the trick.

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes," she said firmly. "I'm going to go." She left breakfast out, seeing as the other weren't up...but she looked down and gave herself another little spin. "THis dress is starting to feel a little grungy, though. I should probably change. Aly would lend me some clothes." She glanced towards the bedrooms. "Do you think I should try to wake her up, or would she be okay if I just borrowed something?"

"She likes sleeping in, so it would probably be best just to find something you like and put it on" he said and got up from his chair, lazily making his way to the couch where he laid down facing the hallway. "Also, I suggest skinny jea-... n-nevermind, you don't know what they are anyway" he said with a nervous chuckle.

It was a bit cold but not enough to convince him to put on any more layers than usual. "So..." Murray decided to have a go st starting a conversation, considering they had both been rather silent for most of the journey.
