*There's a batpony lounging on a storm cloud above you, Gaignun. He looks rather comfortable, actually.*

That depends, how much do you want to see other universes?

[A pony. With bat wings. Well, it hasn't done anything too dangerous, and it isn't attacking so...]

I'm starting to believe what I want doesn't matter much to someone. I don't suppose I could trouble you for an explanation?

Eh, why not? I've probably been here long enough that it's my turn to play welcoming committee.

*The cloud disappears and he hovers down closer to the ground, but doesn't actually land. Walking is for suckers without wings.*

You're in Equestria, a world where humanoids don't seem to exist. As far as anypony can tell, you, me and a lot of others from various other words have been brought here thanks to an alicorn called the Pale Pony. She's supposedly some kind of psychopomp, but that's all anypony really knows about her. We aren't even sure if she brought us here on purpose or by accident...although the evidence is leaning toward on purpose.

That is...actually more useful information then I was expecting. Last time I got pulled into a different world we had nothing to go on. [He is slightly relieved]

There's one other thing I've managed to pick up. There's somepony here claiming to be from an alternate version of this world that was destroyed by the Pale Pony.

Really [Now he's very interested] What have they had to say?

Hold on, I think it'd be best to just show you.

*He reaches behind his back and produces a scroll from...absolutely nowhere. Holding it in his hooves. Somehow. He unrolls it and starts doing something with it, then turns it around so Gaignun can see the message.*

Well...that certainly complicates things. However, I have to admit none of this is surprising...pale pony. I wonder if it's anything like Pale Rider.

Huh...I never thought about that. The symbolism kind of fits, doesn't it? But it's kind of odd that figures from my world would have analogues here...unless this really is a TV show.

In my experience, there are many things that hold common throughout universes. Perhaps this is one of them?

Maybe. If this world has demons and calls their home Tartarus, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there are other similarities, too.

The realm beneath Hades domain...yes I suppose that would fit. Is this purgatory then?

Doubtful, since I'm pretty sure demons don't go to any kind of afterlife and I know my soul is still intact, anyway. Besides, I'm pretty sure purgatory wouldn't randomly cough people up to go back to their lives for a while.

You never know. Is it always this bright? I feel like I'm in a children's book.

Heh, usually but not always. We see our share of trouble and it's not always rated G. But if it bothers you, I could tone down the sunny cheerfulness for a while.

*He holds up one hoof, pointing at the sky, and dark clouds gather to cast a shadow over the pair of them.*

[Very clear 'blink blink' here]

I don't suppose I could interest you in a job show casing beaches? Though honestly the cloud cover does help.

*That gets a bit of a laugh and it starts drizzling.*

That's a switch, usually people who bribe me for weather control want me to stay away from beaches.

Back home, my company created an artificial beach meant for colonial satellites. It had extensive weather controls, including a thunderstorm option.

Sounds like my kind of place. I've always preferred storms over sunshine, myself.

It's for the variety you see, also for surprising your friends.

I can get behind that. The name's Alastor.

*He lowers down a bit more and holds out a hoof, covered by a glove but evidently cloven.*

[Gaignun shifts himself so he can 'shake' hooves]

Gaignun Kukai, it's a pleasure Alastor.

*Wait a second, he recognizes that name from somewhere...wasn't there a human myth? Oh...excuse him while he snickers.*

Fitting name, all things considered.

Good thing your name isn't Roland, or else I would be in trouble. [Yeah he knows what this name is from. You don't get to being a Lost Jerusalem buff with out some mythology. Though it was a little more ironic considering some canon events.]

You might still be, I am a swordsman. And I think being able to repair my blade with magic is close enough to it being indestructible.
