[Scenario A]

The world had ended and the old gods with it; and yet, why did he find himself afflicted with another curse upon him. Not only that, but he felt the same power he had come to loathe still burning his soul though its grip was different; familiar, but weaker. Who held them now without the old Queen? Was this left to his control? He didn't know, and he doubted he would find an answer shortly in this... place.

It's not Erion - not the old world, or the new flourishing realm he and Gwendolyn had been left to. There was life for one. He could sense it, and even see the distance town from this forest he found himself in despite night having fallen. His eyes had always been different, but this was new, even for him. All of this was, and he hated it. Black claws gouging the ground, the attached-but-folded wings to scaled arms opened slightly, and the growl he released was not human. The red-tipped tail whipping behind him did nothing to quell his anger either, but it make smoke curl from his fangs.

He was a dragon. Somehow, something or someone (not that he could see how), saw fit to curse him like this. Why? His tail lashing again, and he didn't feel himself whip the scroll that had appeared beside him. It rolled open as his growling got worse and his eyes turned red, the right glowing more than the red. The black scales heavily plating him seemed to writhe like flames as the roar finally echoed from his throat.

[Note - Scroll is on for the end half, but ponies probably heard him anyway. He'll burn out momentarily.]

[Scenario B]

Equestria? Ponyville? It was peaceful, but all too strange for Oswald. No, he came to the town once, but then returned to the place they call the Everfree Forest, feeling much more comfortable hidden in its shade. Though he still despised this form - even more after peering at his reflection, he found himself coming to using his new limbs easily. The wings attached to his arms and claws didn't hinder him as much as before, and his talons weren't kicking up as much dirt. It would take longer for flight to be so controlled however.

Claws clicked as he crossed from earth to stone, his dark form slipping into the cave that had previously been occupied by another. He found it some time after he come to this... world. It had been occupied, but the previous own had been expelled after a brief fight and chipping several of Oswald's scales. It didn't have to happen, but he only defended himself as expected. To the victor the spoils of course; a bed of gold and gems which he had no other use for except to sleep on them.

Considering he had been marching about for a few days without proper rest, the black dragon crept his way onto the treasure heap and flicked a few coins aside before laying down. There were still thing in this place he did not understand especially this 'friendship' being magic in this realm. If it meant returning to the place where he belongs and being human once more, he would have to find out.

Exhaling, he turned his head and slowly allowed his eyes to close, only for them to open a split second later. Pupils contracted and stared out, waiting to see who had decided to come this way.

[OOC: As it suggests, trespassing on his newly acquired cave.]

(1. Scroll Post)

[The scroll turns on and...oh, that's Celestia on there! And why is she at a Starbucks of all places considering she's drinking a tall cup of coffee and munching on some carrot cake. Or looks like it. It also looks like she's...settling in rather well. Weird for a newcomer. Or because she decided to skip the typical 'where am I' stick and go ask around herself. Which landed her at this coffee shop right now.]

Hello everypony, it's a nice day out isn't it? I'm new to this particular world but not new to the idea of other worlds out there. Some of the residents here have caught me up to speed on this Calice and what has been going on right now, including some very nice changelings. Didn't get their names though...

I guess I don't need an introduction but that makes me the...third Celestia here? Hmmm, I wonder how that works...

[Her eyes light up at the remembrance of one more thought.]

Oh! There is one more thing: if anypony has seen Luna around, the kind employees here at Starbucks says they will only serve her decaf from now on.

(2. Explore)

It isn't everyday that Celestia has...well, an extended vacation. Usually she would be in meetings and other royal duties that only she could take care of. Unless we count the one day Luna did take over. So the princess had decided to take a closer look at Ponyville's sights. Not much but the Night Market seemed to have some interesting things to look at...and the market always seemed to have fresh fruits and vegetables on hand. But for once, it was simply nice to take a look around and breathe.

A bright yellow, somewhat overweight, teenage griffin wearing a bib is wandering around ponyville. This place was amazing! Was this a dream? (She didn't think she could have good dreams) Did the pizzeria remodel again? Or was it...well, Chica can't think of any other reason she'd be in this place and is a bit too busy being exciting by all of it to wonder too much.
So many mascots! So many bright colors! So much potential for fun ~~or something terrible to happen~~.

At regular intervals she stops and stares (obviously) at passer-bys, her fanged beak hanging open. Acknoweldgement of her will likely be met with an enthusiastic "hi!"
~~Or a terrible scream and possible attack, but that's not as likely during the day.~~

Okay, so this was a little unusual for him.

He knew he could have strange dreams-- but usually they didn't involve turning into a pony in a sunny, brightly coloured, sugary coated world like this one (Man, Kanji would love this place... he'd need to remember to tell him about it. Once... they became friends again, sigh). No, his dreams usually involved seeing Igor or Margaret again for new info, or seeing that strange foggy world that he'd never managed to find the truth of, before he left Inaba.

Or, you know, wrestling his friends in luchador masks.

But, he could take it in stride. It was relaxing enough here, and there seemed to be a pond nearby where he could do some fishing. Why not get some practicing down, even if it was just a dream? He could chill out, enjoy the sunshine, and just... zone out before things got heated back in town.

This time he knew what to do, after all. He wouldn't make the same mistakes twice...

He juuust needed to find some good bait... so that's what he was doing, checking out around the pond side, trying to find some earth worms.

"May need to start digging..."

He was still getting used to moving in this body, but with enough diligence, he could get the hang of it in no time!

Someone may find this grey unicorn looking under rocks and pawing at the ground with a calm expression on his face. His cutie mark being a strange, heart shaped symbol that may seem familiar to more than a few of the residences. Feel free to talk to him, he's friendly, promise!

She still couldn't believe it... two whole years of memories missing. Fluttershy slowly shut the door behind her as she walked outside of the cottage, taking all of it in as best she could. Her... other self? Had explained it pretty well, and she felt she understood it somewhat... even though it was extremely confusing. How do you deal with amnesia?

Slowly, she unrolled her scroll and sent a short message to Ponyville - an apology for being away for so long and worrying everyone, and how glad she was to be back home. At the very least, that was some solace to her - unlike the offworlder ponies, this was her home. She felt bad that the offworlders were stuck here, but many of them seemed happy... she should try being optimistic.

It was just hard when you knew others remembered you, but you couldn't remember them. She couldn't help feeling guilty at the prospect of being talked to like she was an old friend... by someone she didn't recognize at all. How must the other person feel when she has to explain that?

... Maybe she should go back into the cottage for now. But she needs to check on the animals outside. Maybe after that...

[Yeah yeah she should probably try to contact people from Beacon on the comm or whatever. She should probably get an explanation as to why she is a brown horse with a bullet shell tattoo on her... it would be in poor taste to say "ass," she supposes. Or where she is. Or where her team is.

But Coco Adel has priorities.

Coco Adel is going to find where they sell the best horse clothes in this city. Not because she can buy them, which she assumes she can't, but because this is always priority one and if she has to start buying designer saddles she is going to burn this place down.

Oh, and she'll keep an eye out for anyone she recognizes, she guesses. Couldn't hurt.]

Changing forms was actually not a new experience for Goofy. But going to a world where he couldn't find his friends was rare. But, never one to panic much, Goofy went on into town to see if he could find them. So, Ponyville would see an all black pony, he had no mane but there was a green hat sitting between floppy ears. His muzzle was a peachy color as well and his tail was black and short.

"Donald? Sora?" He called. "Hm..."

He called them a few more times before trying a different approach. He walked up to a pony and greeted them with a smile and a tip of his hat.

"G'mornin' sir/ma'am. By any chance, have ya seen two o'my friends? Sora and Donald are there names."

Dedede was walking inside the bakery known as Sugarcube Corner and noticed all the sugary goodness displayed inside. Never had he seen so many cakes and pastries in his life. Surely it's for him to eat; after all, he is hungry and his rumbling stomach is eager to be filled.

Wasting no time, he made his way over to the counter and began to eat the slices of strawberry shortcake that are on display.

"*much, munch, munch* This... is so...*munch* good! Ha! Too bad Kirby isn't here to eat this! *munch, munch, munch*!"

[A]
[As you walk in the cafe, Daring Do's slumped on a table. Her face is grumpy and she looks bored as all Tartarus. Care to try and cheer her up?]

[B]
I knew I shouldn't have taken you along... Run!

[She turns away from you when the monster you two encountered during an excavation approaches. She rushes off to the side in an attempt to create a distraction.]

Hey, over here! I have no plan on how to escape, so instead I'm just gonna taunt you!

[Well... at least you made it through that one room full of traps with her.]

[C]
[There's a knock on your door. When opened, it's Daring Do.]

Hey... I'm sorry your friend got rainbowed. I wish there was something I could do to help...

1. Ponyville. It’s the same…but it’s also slightly different. I can feel it in the air, like a harsh wind blowing through my mane as I blend into the crowd on a hot summer’s day.

Ponyville’s residents would know this mare as Bon Bon, one who had three wrapped candies on her flank as a cutie mark, and as previously stated she was blending into the crowd quite well. Especially since this particular crowd was in line at a familiar candy shop she’d remember very well.

Rumor around the haybales is that this Equestria’s different, that any mare, stallion, filly or colt can be pulled from anywhere and anytime…and obviously, that’s what happened to me. If that’s so, it would explain why this Ponyville’s version of me doesn’t run the candy store. Or maybe she does, and she was recalled into action.

Bon Bon’s eyes shifted for a moment or two, glancing around curiously for any suspicious looking ponies while making her way inside. (No, that wasn’t another Bon Bon still hanging out near the back of the line!)

Does she still use her real name, Special Agent Sweetie Drops, or maybe she goes by Bon Bon like I do? Does Lyra know the truth about me here? If she doesn’t, what would happen if I ran into her and tried to tell her the truth? Would she flip out again like she did back home…?

The mare steeled herself while approaching the register, offering the young mare at the counter a smile and quickly placed her order. After a few moments, she responded with a polite ‘Thanks!’ and exited just as stealthily with her favorite treats.

Maybe it’s best if I don’t see Lyra right now. It seems like this young filly she has running the store can handle herself just fine, so showing up would make things awkward for her. If that’s the case…maybe it’s for the best if Ponyville doesn’t get back another Bon Bon. It sounds like ponies just keep returning home, one after the other for the past few weeks. If so, I’ll just have to make all of Equestria my home until I’m sent home.

2. Attention, everypony! I have an announcement to make!

…No, you’re not imagining things; if you think you’re seeing a pony who ran a candy store in downtown Ponyville near Town Hall, you’re right! I’m Bon Bon…but I’m not the Bon Bon you all remember. I’m a different Bon Bon, but I’m still the same pony even if my memories aren’t the same. For anypony who knew the other me, I’ll do my best to get along with you or anypony who wants to be my friend.

Oh, I guess I should add this before I go; she’d be upset if I didn’t mention her at least once…has anypony seen Lyra around? Lyra Heartstrings? She does live in Ponyville, right? At least, back home she does. If she’s not here, just tell her Bon Bon wants to talk and that it’s really important.

Thanks again, everypony. You may now return to your regularly unscheduled scroll duties. (The scroll rolls up and vanishes, but Bon Bon did grant whichever pony deemed to listen a smile.)

[A, Video]

[The feed clicks on with a curious pony tapping at the scroll. Tilting her head and blinking a couple of times, she started speaking.]

Um... hello, Ponyville! My name is... well, you can call me Chica. I've been told a little bit about this world, and well... I'm so glad to meet all of you!

I-I do have one question, though... what do you all eat around here? I'm... [not used to having to eat] not used to whatever food that ponies need to eat. Grass, maybe? Hay?

I hope to see you all around sometime. Have a good day!

[B, Action]

Gaining the ability to feel had its obvious downsides - and for Chica, loneliness and guilt were very welcoming to her. As she trotted out slowly onto a hill under the moonlight, she sat down and looked up at the stars.

She remembered. Her malfunctioning facial recognition chip, her blacking out at times and hearing about attacks the next day, every single time. Her uncertainty about whether she was responsible for them... she knew Toy Freddy, Bonnie and Foxy had the same problem, but that didn't help her own guilt. All she had wanted to do was entertain the children who came to Freddy Fazbear's, and do that alongside her friends. ... The others she was programmed to be friends with. She didn't know what it was like to have a friend. What it felt like to have someone else's trust.

It actually hurt. And not physical pain, which she knew to a degree - a pain she couldn't explain, which made it even worse for her.

Sighing softly, she closed her eyes...

"Let's try to make it right, don't want to start a fight
And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright;
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight,
You'll be so happy just as long as you survive the night..."

After that was sung a couple of times, it changed just slightly...

"Let's try to make it right, don't want to start a fight
And I'm so sorry if I gave you all a little fright;
I'm not so scary if you see me in the daylight,
I'll be so happy just as long as you survive the night..."

She then rested her head between her forehooves, the last words lingering into the wind.
