open Lost in the City

[Apollo 297]

You have lived in Equestria all your life. Its a nice life, but you seem to have fallen into a hard set routine, and you are beginning to become bored. One night you fall asleep, and when you wake up, you are in a strange place. You wander around for a few minutes until you happen upon a mirror. You look into the mirror, and discover that your body has been changed into that of a human! Now you must figure out what brought you to this strange place, and changed you into this odd form, and learn how to survive, in the wilderness that is New York City.

 

Rules of the Road:

1. Characters that were pegasus or griffon will retain the ability to fly and treat clouds as solid objects.

2. Characters that were unicorns will retain magic, but keep it minor.

3. Characters that were earth ponies will have greater strength than other characters.

4. Characters will have limited knowledge about the human world and must figure out the rules of society on their own.

5. Players may have control over one originally human character. This character will be the "roommate" of each players main character. (This is optional but the "roommate has full knowledge of the human world. He/She will treat the main character as if He/She has amnesia and had been living in the human world all their lives. The "roommate" may be trusted with knowledge of any magical powers/abilities, including flying for pegasus or griffon players.)

6. Characters may not have originally been alicorns, dragons, other greatly powerful beings of Equestria.

7. Have fun.

8.Your character will start out right when they woke up in their apartment.

9. You are not required to make a character sheet for the roommate, just post a brief description here.

*Malik woke up in a daze, he had been drinking with his friends the night before, he must have a terrible hangover.*

"Aw, geez." *He put his hand to his head and then noticed something.* Wait.... what?

*He looked and saw that his taloned claw had been replaced by some tan, five fingered appendage.*

"The hell?" *He said to himself. He looked around, this wasn't his house. Where was he? He stood up and stumbled around the room and into the bathroom. He looked into the mirror and his eyes widened. He looked completely different. Gone was his feathers, fur, and beak. Instead he had a strange face, but with similar features, his eyes were still sky blue, but his skin was exposed, it was a light tan and he had long white hair that fell down to his shoulders.*

"What in the world is going on?"

Haste woke up, as always she didn't even bother looking at the time she just did her normal day routine, she fell off her bed **ouch** she sighed and stood up by holding herself into the bed she brushed her hair aside from her face, and noticed her face in the mirror next to the bed, she saw a blurry shape and looked closer to notice that the shape was her, she looked at the similarities, her Orange Fiery mane was still long and messy like always, her eyes still that vibrant tone of green, her coat had changed into a light tan, she kept looking at the mirror, and waved her hand **My wings!** she looked at her back and yelped "what in Celestia is going on here?"

Indigo felt the squishy bed underneath her. "Urghh..." she muttered, rolling over, placing a ho-what?

She stared at this new apparatus, her eyes widening, looking up-and screamin.g

She dashed over the the mirror on her new legs, clawing at it with her new, pale five-fingered hoofs. "What in EQUESTRIA?!? MY HORN!" she squealed, pulling at the long white strands of what was once her mane. "This isn't my mane!" she cried out, realizing it wasn't it's normal light purple colour. Her eyes were still a little bit purple, but they had become more bluish. "OH SWEET CELESTIA!" she cried. "What's happening to me? Where am I?'

[Apollo 297]

*Malik stopped to think for a minute.*

"Okay. Calm down." *He said to himself.*

"There must be a reasonable explanation for this. I just have to figure out what the hell happened to me, and why I have this weird form." *He looked around and observed his surroundings.* "What is this place anyway? And how did I get here?"

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Haste tried to stand and it worked unsuccessful the first she got a hold of things but still leaned against the wall to maintain balance she walked out into the rest of the apartment looking at the things around her **where in Equestria am I**

[Mephala 2,635]

Indigo sat down on the floor, shaking. Her eyes were wide with fear, and she shivered uncontrollably as she sobbed.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?"

Serah woke up with a start, as was usual for her. She held a hand to her forhead, as if to try and push the raging headache out of her head. When the headache refused to budge from its cozy home, she sighed and let her hand fall back down to the bed she was laying on. She tried to recall where she had fallen asleep the night prior, but it would be another minute or two before her mind was fully functioning again.

 

Wait. She was laying on a bed. How had she ended up on a bed? She was homeless, and couldn't afford a room at any of the hotels in Manehatten. Had someone caught her? Where was she? Damn it, the room was so dark. She held up a hand and conjured a small flame, illuminating the room.

 

It illuminated more than that. It illuminated an appendage that did not belong on a pony, or any other creature she had ever seen for that matter.

 

"What the f*ck?" she whispered to herself, quite loudly for a whisper. She turned the paw-like shape around, still holding onto the flame and being careful not to drop it on the bed. This thing was a part of her? How did this happen? Was she dreaming?

 

Serah got up from the bed on shaky legs, and collapsed to all fours on the ground, extinguishing the fire before she reached the carpeting. Now that she was more awake, she realized that everything about her body felt off. She needed to get to a mirror, and fast. But first she needed more light, and she wasn't sure if it was necessary or appropriate to set everything around her on fire yet.

"Haste? what's up with you?" someone walked in the room, and Haste jumped into the bed in response "Ehh... Haste?" "who are you?" "I'm your roommate..." she responded backing away slowly "are you okay?" "no, where am I?!" she stood and stared at her angrily "easy there Haste..." she looked at Haste and smiled playfully, Haste's face was serious and stern, not moving her gaze from her 'roommate' "what's wrong?" "how do you know me?" she spoke in a low but recognizable tone "you been living here for a long time now, how am I not supposed to know you?" Haste eyebrows drop in to a worried look "what do you mean a long time?" "you've lived here, in the apartment, for a few months now" "No, just yesterday I was in my cloud home in Cloudsdale" "Cloud home? Cloudsdale? what?" "Cloudsdale, Equestria, home of all the greatest Pegasi, right above Ponyville, nothing?" "Equestria? Pegasi?Ponyville? what are you talking about?" "Equestria, ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Ponyville the home of the Mane 6, nothing?" "nope" "where am I?" "New York city , in New York" she grinned playfully at Haste **well that's a stupid name...** haste thought "how-wha-when.... how did I get here?" "Haste you've been living in New York your whole life I thi-" "No I haven't!, yesterday i was in my cloud home!" she stomped her foot on the floor "calm down" "no, I can't calm down I got to find how I got here why my wings are gone and why I am HERE" she ran outside the apartment, the Roommate stood there **wings?....** she chuckled and ran after Haste Edited February 28, 2012 by Pinkazoid

Serah conjured another small flame in her strange new hand, and lit up on the four beige walls of the room in search of a light switch. She found one easily enough, though it was up too high to be comfortably reached. Dismissing the flame again, she tried to balance herself on her back legs as she swatted at the switch with her right hand, finally operating it and illuminating the room.

 

It certainly seemed like a normal enough room, though most of the electronics and chairs shared the light switches' propensity for being hard to reach from the ground. There were two beds on either side of the room, a television set, and various other appliances and paraphernalia. It looked far too lived-in to be a hotel room, but too sparse to be occupied by more than one person, despite what the two beds were implying.

 

There was a mirror against one of the walls, but it was up high and set above a desk. She couldn't see herself in it from the ground, so she trotted towards it and stood up on shaky legs. She looked into the mirror, and a vaguely familiar face stared back at her.

 

Was this supposed to be her? The mirror masked the incredulous expression she knew must have been on her face, answer her question for her. Despite some similarities, such as her dyed pink hair and hazel eyes, everything else was completely foreign. Her rich red coat had been replaced pale fleshy skin, the same as her new hands, what she assumed to be her ears were now smaller and located further down her head, and her face as a whole seemed more compact and less drawn-out. Most importantly, her horn was missing. That hadn't stopped her from using magic so far, though.

 

Her torso was covered by a pale yellow flannel material, and when Serah looked down, she saw more material of the same make was covering her lower half as well. Only her head, hands, and... lower hands were free from the material. She'd never cared for clothing, finding it restrictive and impractical due to her specialty as a fire mage. Disregarding her capturer or whoever's hospitality, she threw the garments off and found more pale flesh underneath, as well as a small patch of fur near her nether region. Well, at least she wasn't completely free of her original red coat.

 

All of a sudden she felt a chill blow through the room, coming in through an open window. Perhaps taking the clothes off had been a mistake. She hated the cold, and though she was remorse to admit it, the pajamas had been quite comfortable. She had no idea where she was, but suspected that if she had been forcibly clothed after her capture, it might be reasonable to play by the rules. So with a bit of difficulty, she succeeded in putting the pajamas back on.

 

She'd spent enough time in this room. No one had come for her, so she would have to look for them. Whoever "they" were, that is. Flames danced in her eyes as she imagined the fight that would break out once she found who was responsible for her predicament.

 

She walked towards the door, footing growing firmer with each step. The door was unlocked. She opened it, and stepped outside.

[Apollo 297]

*While Malik was sitting on the ground, thinking about his predicament he heard someone walking up behind him. Before he could turn around, something heavy fell on his back.*

"Good morning Mally." *The person said.* "Did you sleep well?" *The voice was feminine and sounded soft and kind.*

"Who... are you?" *Malik asked*

"What? Your playing this game again Mally? You know it gets annoying after a few times." *The female got up off of Malik's back and walked in front of him. She had long, jet black hair and piercing green eyes. She had a small smile on her face and sat down in Malik's lap.*

"No, really. Who are you? And how did I get here? What happened to me, and what happened to my wings, and feathers, and fur?"

"Wings, feathers, and fur? Mally, its as if you thought you were some sort of griffon or something. Okay, I'll play along this time. Your name is Malik, but I call you Mally, because it's cuter. My name is Sarah, and this is our apartment. We live in New York City and you are currently unemployed, but looking for work. I work at the Barns And Nobles down the street, and you lounge around and play video games all day." *Sarah explained.*

"What are...... video games?" *Malik asked. This put a shocked look on Sarah's face.*

"Oh my gods....... you really DID lose your memory this time!"

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Haste ran in the hallways looking for a way out, "Haste wait up" she noticed that the other girl was following her *she ain't going to the leave me alone.... if only I had my wings, I would be gone by now....* she ran faster, careful not to fall "Haste, stop running" "why?" "well first of all you're going to wake the other people" "what kind of sick place is this?" Haste ran faster "Haste can I just talk to you?" "fine...." she stopped running, the girl came behind panting for air "I thought you weren't going to stop" "well I am pretty fast" Haste bragged, the girl rolled her eyes "sooo Haste exactly why are you running" "well for starters, I don't know you, I woke up here in.....this" she pointed at her new body with her hands "Haste what are you talking about? you've lived here since I met you, I'm your best friend" "no you're not, and no I've never lived here" the girl put the pieces together "Haste I think you lost your memory or something...." "what?! no I haven't" "I'm pretty sure you have-" "No I'm a Pegasus not whatever I am right now" "Pegasus? I thought you said you didn't care about Greek Mythology" "Greek-mythola-what?" the girl Face-palmed "Haste, Pegasi are not real" "yes they are!" "they're not real, it's just mythology" "are you really that stupid?" ".....what?..." "never mind, the point is, I was a Pegasus and now I'm not" "Haste this is ridiculous" "no it's not!" she protested "you're calling yourself a Pegasus and you don't remember anything" "that doesn't mean it's ridiculous" "okay I'm going to pretend to believe you, and go along with your game" "good enough for me" the girl's eye twitched "what's your name anyways?" "ehhh I think you alread- it's Monica" **that's a weird name**

(Sounds cool, hope Im not too late)

http://mlpforums.com/topic/6667-strong-hooves/

 

Strong woke to a heavy pounding in his head, What the hell happened? he thought to himself, he brought his forehoof to his forehead, but then froze, opening his eyes, he saw he didnt have a foreleg, or a hoof!! It was replaced by some... appendage of some sort. He sat up, and groaned as his headache got worse, he looked down, he didnt have any fur, or hind legs, or tail! His lower half wore some kind of denim covering (pants). Looking to his side, he saw a mirror next to the bed he was on, shakily getting off of it, he looked into the mirror, his face looked... different... no more snout, his ears shrank and moved farther down his head, his eyes were still their usual green,and his mane still looked the same, though strange still. Further inspection showed that his new body had considerate definition, and quite the bulk, he looked himself over in the mirror, "This is... weird" he said to himself. As he said this, he heard a noise at the door, another strange being with similar body features walked in, though this creature was quite a bit shorter and much more frail looking than Strong, the creature beemed at him, as if they had known each other, "Jake!! Your up!!". Strong only stood with his mouth hanging open, "Jake? No... my name is Strong", the other being laughed, "Duh! Jake Strong!! Are you feeling alright dude?". Strong shook his head, "No, its just Strong, Strong Hooves", the other being burst out in laughter, "What?! HAHA!! What are ya? A horse?! Come on dude, quit messing with me" he then approached Strong, and in complete reflex, he grabbed the smaller being by his sides and lifted him in the air, getting a yelp of fear from him. "Where am I?! And more importantly WHAT am I? I have no idea what the hell is going on!". The smaller being began to whimper, "Jake... put me down dude, ya know I dont like being lifted... please man... just put me down". Strong saw the fear in his eyes and slowly put him down, "Sorry" he muttered, "Im just... so confused right now". The smaller being looked up, a concerned look in his eyes, "You really dont remember? Its me... Marcus... your BEST friend... dang... I knew letting you motocross witout a helmet was a bad idea..." Marcus walked to the door, "Come on... you need to see a doctor". Strong merely grunted, not really liking the information he had gotten, but seeing as he had no choice, he shakily followed, but soon got the hang of walking on two legs. "Uh Jake? You may want to put a shirt and some shoes on" said Marcus, going to a dresser and pulling out a pair of socks and a shirt, a brown sleeveless shirt. With some difficulty, he got the shirt, socks, and a pair of large black shoes on, then followed Marcus out of the building. When he stepped out, the first thing he noticed was the size of the buildings and the noise, many metal looking coccoons on wheels were driving past him, as he looked forward, he noticed two other beings talking, they seemed female. He didnt pay any mind until he heard one of them say the word, "I was a pegasus", he froze and looked at the two, not sure who said it. He approached the two, towering over them as he came closer, and said, "Which one of you said you were a... Pegasus?"...

[Apollo 297]

*Malik's eyes were filled with amazement at the sights to be seen in this city.* "What in the name of Celestiia........"

"Celestia? Who or what is that?" *Sarah asked him.*

"Celestia is the sovereign ruler of Equestria." *Malik told her.* "She is an alicorn who raises the sun every morning and the moon each night."

"sounds like blasphemy against the Gods to me. Those jobs belong to Apollo, the god of the sun, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon." *Sarah said with an annoyed look.*

"Apollo? Thats the name of Celestia's son."

"She named the Sun?"

"No, her son. Her child. She is his mother."

"And let me guess, he is a griffon just like you used to be?"

"No, he is a pegasus, most residents of Equestria are ponies, Earth ponies, Unicorns, Pegasus."

"Sounds like a little girl's dream come true."

*Malik laughed at this. Sarah had explained a lot about the human culture to him on their walk. He began to sniff the air.* "Wait.... I know that smell."

"All I smell is typical city." *Sarah said.*

"No, the smell of...... Coffee and Doughnuts. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

"But..... you hate coffee."

"Blasphemy, coffee is like a heavenly elixir, so delicious, so electrifying! Its a wonder anyone could live without it."

*Sarah had a very concerned look on her face.* "We gotta get you to a doctor's office."

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Monica rolled her eyes **not another one...** "that would be me.. why?"

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong looked to the one who admited to saying so, "You... you dont happen to know of a place called... Cloudsdale... or perhaps... Ponyville... do you?". As he asked this, Marcus rolled his eyes, he walked up to Monica, "Sorry about my friends... strangeness... he hasnt really been himself this morning... your friend got the same thing?"

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

"Yes she's been acting up all morning" "Cloudsdale? I come from there" Monica rolled her eyes "Haste you should really stop this" she grabbed her hand but Haste struggled it out, and gave her a stern look

[Strong Hooves 289]

Marcus chuckled, "Same with him, been calling himself Strong Hooves this morning" he said with a chuckle. Strongs eyes widened, "So... Im not the only one trapped here then" he said, a slight smile on his face as he looked down at the female...

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

"Strong Hooves?" Monica chuckled slightly, Haste smiled "good to know I'm not the only one either..."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong nodded, still smiling, "My name is Strong-" but Marcus cut in "Your name it Jake Strong!". Strong glared at Marcus, who immediately shut his mouth, "Strong Hooves" he muttered to the female as quietly as he could, "Nice to meet you"

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

"Nice to meet ya'h Strong, name's Haste by the way" Monica rolled her eyes, and muttered something "it's just a nickname, her real name is -" Haste gave her a glare, a stern unwelcoming one that quickly shut Monica

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong smiled, "Nice name" he told her, then Marcus walked in between them, "Well now that we made new friends 'Strong Hooves' how's about we go on and get to that doctor I told you about huh?" he then turned to Monica, "Perhaps you'd care to join us? It seems your friend needs some help as well... And it seems those two have kinda taken a liking to eachother" he said this last part quietly to Monica, motioning towards Strong and Haste.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Monica chuckled "she's always blabbering randomely, and I think this time she did loose it, so yeah I guess we should take them" Haste grunted

*Malik heard something he didn't expect, Sarah heard it too.*

"Cloudsdale? Didn't you mention that earlier?"

"I did." *Malik rushed over to the group of four who were talking about Equestria.* "Hey, so you guys are in the same situation too? Fell asleep in Equestria and woke up here in New York?"

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

"What's up with all this crazy people" Monica waved her hands "Excuse me?" Haste looked at her, Monica quickly lowered her hands "Yeah, I was just talkin' with him 'bout that"
