[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!

[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.]

[crafty_punk]

Simple answer: Space.

[fatedcircle]

It's called the Satellite of Love.

[colorbymemory]

A satellite in space.

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

Care to be a little more detailed?

[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.]

[inomnetempus]

Fantastic. Now elaborate.

[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.]

[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?

[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!

[fatedcircle]

I'm not sure anyone really knows.

[inomnetempus]

[What is this even.]

Alice.

[She puts her fists on her hips, glancing at the cupcake.] Considering I haven't slept in decades, I'm going to assume I'm not dreaming which means that you're real...which means that this has suddenly gotten much more odd.

[inomnetempus]

You're... [She raises an eyebrow and pouts] ...not very helpful.

[sailorlaughter]

Yeppy-deppy! [She gets that a lot.] I'm as real as real can BE! You can ask Twilight or Rarity or Princess Luna, they're all talking ponies too!

[fatedcircle]

[(I'm doing what I can. What more do you want?)]

I can't give you answers I don't have.

[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'.

[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.

[itsjustthebots]

I forget what it was called. Twin-screw something? Weird device thingy is a pretty accurate description already!

And Joel's the guy who made us! But he escaped the Satellite, and that's why we've got Mike here now. Plus all you neat guys!

[punsofiron]

...

[Is that who she thinks it is?]

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?

[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]

[You've got to be kidding her.]

I hit my head and got transported to a really bad science fiction movie.
