[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.*

*A strange look from the Princess.* If you're sure, then.

Can you get up?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

It's normal, I'll be okay.

[So in the end she couldn't stay upright, but when her leg's as bad as it is and she's startled of course the cane will go out from under her. She picks herself up and dusts herself off, huffing as she gets herself in order.]

Did you just get here?

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Very well, if you insist.

I did - I only awoke here this morning.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Bad leg, I fall easily.

[BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT there are ponies in Mayfield.]

Yeah it's always rough when you first get here. I'm surprised they didn't take your wings and horn on bringing you here. Most people that get here are either made human or as plain as possible to blend in. Then again, you're probably considered a pet, so they probably have different rules for that.

[She frowns as she thinks, her ears folding back.]

Sorry about you getting dragged here.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

How would they have taken my horn and wings? They're as much a part of me as your arms and legs.

It's all right; I'll make the best of the situation.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

When I woke up here, my tail and my ears were gone. I panicked.

[Her ears droop and she shakes her head.]

It was pretty bad but I got them back about a while later. There's a lot of things here that don't make much sense.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Hm, I see.

You're correct that it doesn't make much sense, but I certainly won't doubt you, either.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Tailwags.]

Is there anything you want to know? I haven't been here for long, but I can answer a few questions.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Why would I have awoken in the back yard of a home instead of inside?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Because making you look human [and Mika points to her face and then to a drone walking down the street.] would've been too complicated.

So instead they give you the role of a 'pet' instead. With me I could be easily disguised as a human, just take away any part of me that looks wolfish and it's done. Any talking animal gets left an animal, any magic they have is taken away, and all the drones just think you're a dog. It's annoying, and you won't be able to get into any shops, but it's how this town seems to work.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

That hardly seems fair at all.

But it does explain the absence of my magic.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

It isn't, but that's the way this place works. It's really frustrating.

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can imagine.
