Crusade 1: Enter the Cutie

[dumbfabric]

[Action A: 5725 Cunningham, locked to housemates]

[Sweetie Belle woke up in a doghouse which was unusual for her, seeing as she was not a dog but a pony. She found this especially odd as she had fallen asleep in her bed back in Ponyville. Now she was somewhere else and she didn't know where. A moment later a loud sound came from the doghouse]

Waaaaaaaaaaah. Where am I?


[Action B: Around Mayfield]

[Sweetie Belle is out wandering the streets looking for someone or something she knows.]

Um. Hello. Anybody?

[Action C: 7135 Brooks]

[Sweetie Belle stood outside Rarity's house. It had taken her a while to find her sister's house. Unable to reach the doorknob Sweetie Belle tried to reach her sister the best way she knew how.]

Rarity. Rarity. RARITYYYYYYYY!

Ah don't know if Applebloom is here...

[And she really hopes she isn't either, but Applejack feels a little guilty worrying about that when she should be helping out Sweetie Belle right now.]

Ah do know that besides me, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Dash, and your sister are here though. You want me to show you where she lives? Ah can fill you in a bit about the town too while on the way.

[dumbfabric]

Thanks Applejack I'm glad I have that at least some of my friends are here.

[As they walk to Rarity's house Sweetie Belle sticks to Applejack like glue not wanting to get lost again]

[downtoearthpony]

No problem.

[Applejack leads the way and despite her earlier offer is actually keeping quiet. She's just not too sure how to explain Mayfield to the young foal... She doesn't want to scare her, but she also doesn't want her to think this is just a game...]

So... Did you happen to wake up in a dog house this morning?

[dumbfabric]

yeah, I woke up in a doghouse behind some people's house. What's up with that?

[downtoearthpony]

[Alright Applejack, you can do this. Let's just keep it factual for now and maybe you can avoid anything that might panic the filly...]

That's...kind of a strange rule about this town... For some reason it considers us ponies as 'pets.' You'll even run into people who don't seem to hear us and treat us like dogs or cats. Pretty much all us ponies here got stuck with that tag and it makes it a little hard to get into shops sometimes because they usually run by hue-mins that thing we're dogs...

[Applejack is watching Sweetie Belle as she explains this, hoping she's taking it well.]

[dumbfabric]

Sweetie Belle tries really hard but still only gets about half of what Applejack says]

Why would they think we're dogs we don't look anything like dogs.

[downtoearthpony]

[Okay, as long as she's asking questions, she's probably not panicking, so this might be a good thread of conversation for now...]

Well, there's something in this town that seems to be able to mess with folk's minds and the ones that think we're dogs are almost permanently under that influence. They also tend to treat others like they've always lived here and nothing strange is ever going on.

Trust me, it's a pretty weird thing. The weather around here is crazy sometimes, for example. A foot of snow one day because it's still 'winter', and then the next day it was gone and dry like it never was there because now it's suppose to be 'spring.' And they act like that's how things are suppose to be around.

[dumbfabric]

Does that mean that they have to do winter wrap-up like all the time, cause it's fun once a year but I wouldn't want to do it every single day.

[downtoearthpony]

Well no, it actually means we don't do Winter Wrap-Up at all. Ever.

Basically it's like in this town, these months mean summer and these mean fall and the weather is just what you'd expect in that season...
