Letter 001: This was not on the list.

[Hello, viewers, please enjoy this image of an enormous green eye. Apparently some creature (reptilian in nature, judging by the snake-like pupil) is leaning super close to Cambot to peer at his lens. Blink, blink. After a second, he leans away and scratches his head, revealing himself to be a small purple dragon, riding on the back of a purple pony. Just another day on the Satellite of Love.] Uh, hey, Twilight?

[The aforementioned pony seems to have her nose buried in a long scroll of parchment.] So after we go pick up the new quills and parchment, we can stop by Sugarcube Corner and see if we can get some pastries for our next party, and then we'll need to go out to Sweet Apple Acres and help Applejack measure the foundation for that new storage cellar she wants to put in.

[The dragon tugs gently on Twilight's mane to get her attention.] Yeah, okay, but Twilight?

Oh, and Cheerilee wanted to talk to us about coming in and demonstrating some magic for her younger students and she has all those books to return so we might as well pick them up while we're over there, and once we get home we need to reorganize at least the Classics section and possibly Modern Spellcasting as well because someone got into them and messed everything up and nothing's where it should be anymore.

[Tugging gently has been upgraded to tugging not so gently.] Kinda need you to see this...

And the globe needs polishing, and the floor needs to be scrubbed again, and I think our clock might be thirty seconds too fast --

TWILIGHT!! [Finally he gives up and snatches the to-do list away from her.]

What is it, Spi-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIhhhhhhhhhhhhk! [Her eyes go almost as wide as her head as her breath is sucked completely out of her body at what she's seeing.]

Yyyyyyeah. [And Spike just deadpans it:] I think we're lost.


((Double intro post! Expect responses from both Spike and Twilight (sailormagic). \o/))

Your friend does seem a bit distressed.

How are you taking it?

[draconicmail]

Y-Yeah, a little bit. Me? Well... It's pretty weird, not gonna lie. But everypony -- everyhuman? -- whatever, you've all been really friendly so far. And with Twilight freaking out, someone's gotta keep it together.

[acceptedburden]

Hmm. There seems to be a mixture of...species up here. I do not believe you have to force yourself to change from pony to human as I do not believe anyone would take offense. After all, there are several birds and a cat person...as well as robots and I believe a platypus around. [He smiles a bit] And now a dragon.

Do you believe there is anything that can be done to help her...transition. I admit it is a great deal to take in, but she appears to be taking it exceptionally hard.

[draconicmail]

Wow, that's pretty cool! Back home it's pretty much all ponies as far as the eye can see. I mean, that's fine, but it's gonna be fun to meet new people too!

[He glances at Twilight for a second, then back to the screen.] I think she'll be okay! I've seen her worse than this once or twice before. We've got friends from home here to help us out, and she's got her number one assistant along for the ride! [He puffs out his chest proudly.]

[acceptedburden]

It has certainly been interesting to learn of other cultures and species that exist out there.

Having friends here helps, that is certain. There is also the possibility of making new ones, as I have found.
