[Oh hey, a new face! A pale, spotted figure is sitting in the cafeteria looking up at the camera rather bewildered. He's obviously new and out of place - and are those cat ears, and two pairs of wings?!]

I...like to think I can handle a little weird. I've seen it all. I'll take being warped away to an unfamiliar place while I'm just sipping my tea. I'll even take strange floating balls staring at me. [At least he thinks they're staring - are those even eyes?]

...but why is there a dinosaur outside?

It's okay! He's a Utahraptor!

[Pinkie appears. Actually, she was already in the kitchen, so Abel gets to watch her bounce over like a totally normal pony for once. Well, a normal pony with a snarling, sharp-toothed cupcake chewing on her mane.]

Hi, my name's Pinkie Pie! Welcome to the Satellite of Love! I was gonna give you one of my brand-new Beast Cupcakes, but there was a teeeeeeeeny-tiny problem with the recipe, so you can have a red velvet one instead! [Have a red velvet cupcake!]

[sunshineandcookies]

[The fact that there's a pink pony talking to him surprisingly doesn't faze him. But the cupcake gnawing on her just might. But at the one she offers him, his ears perk a little.]

The Satellite of Love? That sounds like a bad soap opera, and I know bad soap operas.

[sailorlaughter]

Nope, we only do bad books up here!

[sunshineandcookies]

[munch munch cupcake munch]

Bad books? Well if you're looking for volunteers I could list some names.

...wait, what do you mean "do" bad books?

[sailorlaughter]

Every week, the Mads send one up here, and we have to make fun of it! It's...pretty fun. Mostly! [Some of those stories freak even Pinkie Pie out, okay]

[sunshineandcookies]

And the Mads would be...?

[Note to self: figure out why he can't read minds here, stat.]

[sailorlaughter]

They're the mad scientists who put us up here! Well, they put Mike up here - the rest of us just kinda popped in!

[sunshineandcookies]

...well, good luck with that. I'll just be on my way now.

[sailorlaughter]

Ooooh, where ya headed? Don't you wanna pick out a bedroom and stuff?

[sunshineandcookies]

I already have a bedroom. It's cozy and warm and secluded and decorated far better than anything in here. And I'd like to go back to it now.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Sorry! You kinda can't! You're stuck up here with us now! [She doesn't actually sound like she thinks that's a bad thing.] But you can decorate your new room however you like!

[sunshineandcookies]

...

Stuck.

Up here.

With you.

[sailorlaughter]

Yepper-deppers! And everyone else, too!

[sunshineandcookies]

[Hear that?

That's the sound of Abel's head hitting the table.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Pinkie headtilts, the Beast Cupcake dropping off her head and scooting quickly away.]

Sooooooo...does that mean you don't want the tour right now?

[sunshineandcookies]

No, that's alright. I'll just sit here until whatever started this vivid hallucination and/or nightmare wears off and I wake up in my room late for the night shift.

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie! I'll be in the kitchen if you need me!

[sunshineandcookies]

[Help. ._.]
