[Action / Locked to 1670 Nelson Street]

*Good morning, residents of 1670 Nelson Street. And by that I mean early, early morning - Princess Celestia is accustomed to waking long before the dawn to raise the sun. But today, she found that she was not in her palace in Equestria. Far from it; she was outside, in a small red wooden shed... which was in itself not a problem - she wasn't the type to fuss over that sort of thing.

But having a collar around her neck tied to a stake in the ground was a little more irritating.

So really, don't mind the clatter in the backyard as a tall, snow-white horse with magnificent pegasus wings, a long unicorn horn, and a multicolored mane and tail physically rips the stake out of the ground by tugging on it.

If you wait, she'll even try to come inside to find out where she is.*

[Action / Everywhere else]

*Having escaped her collar, Celestia is exploring Mayfield - by flying over it with her wings.

So hello, Mayfield. There might be a pegasus-unicorn flying out of the sky to land right near you. Just look at that awesome mane she has shimmer - where the colors never seem to stay the same no matter how you look at it.

And she is regarding you with curiosity, especially if you aren't a pony.*

*Calmly and patiently.* Yes, I am a magical pony. Or an "alicorn," if you would prefer. Is that really so surprising?

*Walking a bit closer.* I would be very grateful if you could help me with this collar, though.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course. Sorry, forgot my manners and... I was doing something, don't... [doing his old man shuffle forward to pry off the collar]

An alicorn, that's rather nice. I'm a country. I mean, an alicorn and a country, that's... that's nice... What's your name? I'm not flustered at all.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much - I'm in your debt.

*Totally misunderstanding his words.* A country, then - is that what they call all of your kind? I'm Princess Celestia, Not Flustered At All.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what they call my kind. [his country kin would appreciate this!!]

So you're a princess, too. That's good. I also like queens. You're gorgeous. Did I say that out loud? Hullo. I live... here, and you might live... here, too.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

You did say that out loud, but don't worry, I won't take offense to it. And yes, I rule over the land of Equestria jointly with my sister.

What makes you think I might live here?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Because you're here.

[this makes complete sense to him] If you do live here, I've knitted scarves that fit unicorns. You can have one, too.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Home isn't just where the hoof is, you know.

I'd be honored to accept such a gracious gift, Not Flustered At All. Do you mind if I call you Flustered? Or Not?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not flustered at all. So I mean... you could colour me not flustered, haha... [no.]

Besides, it's no trouble at all. If you ever need a sweater, I could knit you one of those, too. It's not like I spend most of my time knitting sweaters, it's just an entertaining hobby...

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

But I think you might have trouble knitting a sweater for a pony - we're built a bit differently than you are, you know.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You don't have to refuse my noble offer.

I'll even knit your initials on it.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Well, if you insist I certainly won't!

I'd be very grateful, Flustered.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't be flustered. There's nothing to be flustered about.

But, you know, I could knit a horn cover. My unicorns at home always loved that. They also said I was beautiful and the most special boy in teh world, but that's neither here or there.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

I never said I was flustered, Not Flustered At All. I'm perfectly fine, given the circumstances.

Then you have unicorns where you're from, too? That's odd; we don't have anypony like you in Equestria.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You are giving me rather mixed signals.

I have unicorn friends, but I'm not a unicorn. See, I'm not horny. I mean, not always horny. Sometimes I'm a bit... but other times, no, not at all, special occasions.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, am I? That's unfortunate.

*And she just. Cants her head to the side.* It seems like there's also a bit of a language barrier here, too.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

A bit. But it's strange, you really can talk to everybody here...

Though I'm not quite sure what my cats are saying most of the time. Other than "feed me," that is.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

I think that's universal for cats no matter where you come from.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

That's probably true.

But some cats do talk here. The other fellow who lives here has horns on his head, he can talk perfectly fine.
