[Before an image even appears on the screen, you can hear a young woman's irate voice.]

Honestly, how do these things even...oh, damn it all.

[The video flickers and shakes a bit as if someone has grabbed a hold of Cambot and is around two seconds away from throttling it. The young woman is stunningly beautiful and very pale with spiky dark hair and a set of big golden eyes. She also currently looks less than pleased about her current situation - seriously, anyone who comes across her will be throttled?]

If there is anyone out there who knows where I am, I would be much obliged if you helped a girl out.

[There's a sweet note in her voice that is belied by the thunderous look in her eyes.]

Very obliged.

Ooooh, hello, I can definitely help a girl out! You're on the Satellite of Love!

[inomnetempus]

Did I get transported back to the 70s?

Fantastic. How did I get here?

[itsjustthebots]

Oh, I know this one! Last I heard it was that weird device thingy that Joel said he did something with!

[inomnetempus]

[Alice has known a lot of Joels in the past one hundred odd years.]

Care to be a little more detailed?

[sailorlaughter]

[Suddenly pony]

You're on the Satellite of Love! In SPACE! See? [She points to the nearest window.] Don't worry, it's WAY more fun than it sounds! And it sounds pretty fun too, don't you think? Oh, I'm Pinkie Pie! Welcome! [And here's a cupcake on a platter. She's experimenting with platters now.]

[inomnetempus]

[...Alice doesn't believe in hallucinations. Besides, only humans would do that anyway.]

...

[That still doesn't mean that she doesn't quite know what to make of the fact that a pink pony is telling her that she's in outer space.]

[sailorlaughter]

Here's your super-special Welcome to the Satellite Cupcake! [leeeeeeeean] So, what's your name? Ooooh, do you want me to guess it? I bet I can!

[crafty_punk]

Simple answer: Space.

[inomnetempus]

Fantastic. Now elaborate.

[crafty_punk]

No one's really sure the hows or whys, but there's some scientists that are keepin' us up here for some crazy-ass experiments that have to do with crappy stories or somethin'.

[fatedcircle]

It's called the Satellite of Love.

[inomnetempus]

So I've been told. Maybe it's less of a question of 'where' and more of 'why' and 'how'.

[It takes a lot to sneak up on a vampire, after all, especially one with clairvoyance.]

[fatedcircle]

I'm not sure anyone really knows.

[colorbymemory]

A satellite in space.

[inomnetempus]

Well, as fantastic as a sudden, all-expenses paid trip to outer space has been, I'd like to go back home. Who would I talk to about that?

[colorbymemory]

[Namine shakes her sadly.]

None of us know how to get back--just what's bringing us here, and we're not sure where that is.

[punsofiron]

...

[Is that who she thinks it is?]

[inomnetempus]

[If you think it's a tiny spiky-haired pixie, then yes. Yes, you'd be correct.]

orz so sorry I'm late

[punsofiron]

Lemme guess, you're new here?

Forgive him, please XD

[icanhastail]

[GIRL SENSES TINGLING. And she's got spirit, even better! Zidane's face pops up on the Cambot screen, grinning and looking... appreciative. Yes, let's go with that, appreciative.]

I'd be more than willing to help with anything you need - tour? Tips? Plotting ways to get down to the surface to beat up the two doofuses who seem to be causing all of this?

[inomnetempus]

Aren't you a gentleman.

[icanhastail]

The art of manners isn't practiced enough, don't you think? And that spark in your lovely eyes tells me you have good taste. Do you think I could learn your name?

[eroded_earth]

[He knows that look. It's the look Aqua gives him when she's not very happy with something he said or did. It makes him feel VERY uncomfortable...which is odd because it's just another lost soul aboard the SoL]

You're on the Satellite of Love. It's in space, miss.

[inomnetempus]

So I've figured.

Of course, the real question is why I ended up in space with a bunch of talking ponies in the first place, but no one seems to really know the answer to that question.

[eroded_earth]

Yeah. That seems to be the question on everyone's mind. You kinda get used to everything up here though. Ponies really aren't even the strangest thing we've seen. At least...I don't think so.

[]He relaxes a little, glad that Alice doesn't seem SO angry any more]

My name's Terra.
