First Sunrise

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[There is currently a white wolf staring at the camera. At first, she's just confused. However, when Cambot moves a little closer, she jumps back and crouches down into a defensive position, growling at the strange floating object. Cambot immediately backs off again, just as startled as she is.]

[Once Amaterasu determines that the floating object is not a threat, she relaxes a bit and approaches it again, sniffing. Cambot continues to keep a good distance. Amaterasu sits down and cocks her head at Cambot, whining a little. Can this object actually help her out?]

[After there's no response, Ammy leaves the Cambot's view. When she returns, she's holding up a painting in her mouth:]

[Ammy brightens up considerably when Fluttershy shows up, too...she wasn't expecting any animals in a place like this! Her tail wags a bit.]

[She looks out the nearest window...there are indeed stars out there, which means the sun is. She thinks for a moment, then sits down and paints two more pitures:]

[The question now is: how did she get from there to here?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

[It makes Fluttershy even more happy to see the pleased reaction of the dog, but when she sees the pictures, her face falls a little.]

O-oh... I'm sorry, I'm afraid no one's really sure how we ended up here. We all just, um, did, at some point or another. I wish I could be more helpful.

[Ammy hangs her head a little. This is strange...how is she supposed to get to the Celestial Plain now? She thinks for a bit, then sits down and paints another picture:]

[Can they get this metal ship down to earth again?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

[She tries not to look too upset as she shakes her head.]

Everypony's been trying to figure out a way back home, but... I'm afraid we've had no luck yet.

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy sighs, looking disappointed. This sounds like quite a mystery indeed. Issun would want to solve it...

She's got another question, and paints an appropriate picture:]

[Has the young pony seen her friend?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her head to one side, frowning as she studies the picture.]

Is that... a bug...?

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy just smiles fondly at the question. Issun would hate being called that, but yeah, he's basically bug-sized.]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. Fluttershy tucks her ears back, thinking it over. The only bugs she knows about were those worms people kept having problems with, last week. She doesn't think that's what's being asked, though.]

I'm very sorry, but I don't know anything about that.

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Now Ammy just looks sad, and she whines a bit. If she's not where she's supposed to be, and Issun isn't here, then she doesn't know what he'll do now...]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

Oh... ma'am, please don't be too sad! I'm sure you must be awfully out of sorts with all this, but you're not alone here! I was awfully upset at first, too, but everypony's very nice here.

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy is glad to hear that, at least. And the pony is certainly nice...she gives another small wag of her tail.]

[She looks down at the floor, and paws at it. Not at all suitable for digging. She then looks back up at Fluttershy...is the entire place made of metal?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

Oh! [Fluttershy brightens right back up again. She's eager to give the dog some actual good news.]

We're in luck, there. I actually just managed to find a whole deck with earth, and trees, and even other animals! It's small, but very, very nice.

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy perks up more, and wags her tail again. That does sound nice! Where is it?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

You can find it on the eighth deck. Um, do you know how to get around?

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy shakes her head. This place is a bit confusing.]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

Hmm... [Fluttershy taps one hoof to her chin.] Well, there should be a set of stairs nearby, but it might be easier to find an elevator if you're on a far away floor. The different decks all have big numbers, it shouldn't be too hard to locate.

[She smiles warmly] This place can be a little hard to figure out, though. If you ever get confused, that nice purple robot seems willing to help. And everyone else too, of course.

[yabigfurball.livejournal.com]

[Ammy sniffs and starts to walk down the hall, with the Cambot following her. As she walks along, she finally notices a number up on the wall: 3. Looking ahead, the stairs are nearby. Before advancing, though, she paints another picture:]

[Are people and the trees up or down on these stairs?]

[sailorkindness.livejournal.com]

The trees will be upstairs. But you can find people on almost any floor.

[She barks in ackowledgement, and then heads for the stairs.]
