[After that odd chapter they read, Sasami was now incredibly curious - could it be actually possible for someone to get blinded that easily? Now, science wasn't her forte - that was Washu's - but for once, she'd put that aside for better knowledge.]

Mmm, now let's see... adjust the mirror... adjust the lamp...

[As she's adjusting everything, she notices Cambot's worried look.]

Don't worry, Cambot! I don't think anything bad'll happen! If anything, I'll probably just blind myself... right?

[With a shrug, Sasami moved to the lamp.]

Lamp... ON!

[And flipped the lamp's switch to the on position... and apparently nothing.]

Huh, I guess it didn't do anything at all. Stupid story. [And as she goes off to do other things, the wacky factor takes hold and the light starts reflecting itself off of everything (Stupid Lisa Frank items). Will it blind you or will you just miss it? Just hope there's no pointy objects around if you do get blinded!]

[Pinkie's in the cafeteria deck, rolling happily around on the grass.] GUYS! Hey guys! This is totally the best week ever, am I right? Check out all the grass and these cool apple trees! They're JUST LIKE back home in Ponyville!

[Most of the trees around Pinkie are actually picked clean. The reason for this quickly becomes clear as Cammy pans around to show a table covered in apple pies. ALL the apple pies. Pinkie hops up next to it, beaming with pride.]

And you know what the best thing to do with apples is, right? THAT'S RIGHT! It's TOTALLY pies! Come get 'em while they're hot! Oh, oh, and Maes, this one's just for you!

Everyone! I have some good news!

[The Cambot pulls back from Twilight's face to show off the room she happens to be standing in - predictably, the media deck. But there's something different about it now...]

Now that we aren't all those creatures anymore, I've finally managed to finish reorganizing the library! The books we acquired with the time machine are separated from the... stories that were here earlier, and I boxed up the more ridiculous ones of those as well. Cambot, if you'll follow me, please.

[Cambot pans around to show the library, and while the layout isn't different, there are obviously several new books in several of the cases. Authors such as Plato and Jane Austin and Stephen King can be seen. There's even a little pony-bed tucked in the corner of that section of the room (yes, she's sleeping there now, was there any question?) that you can see if you crane your head sharply enough.]

This first part here is for the new literature. Everything is arranged alphabetically by author, and within each author is organized alphabetically by title. Now that we know the machine works reliably, I believe it would be reasonable to start a request list. When it gets to a certain size, we can send a group to acquire those books and add them to the collection here. We'll have to make sure not to overlap times, but I'll be making a calendar to keep all of our trips straight so we don't lose anyone. Just remember, the books have to be before the year it is here, so nothing from after 1995! Now, for the next set...

[It goes against every bone in Twi's body to destroy a written work, no matter how bad it is, but she can get rid of it in another way. Other shelves... other shelves have had their edges painted yellow, with black stripes on top, like caution tape. Crates with "DANGER" written across them in red are stacked next to those against one of the blank walls.]

Now, this is the set of works that was here when we came. The ones still on the shelves are the ones that aren't... quite as bad, while the ones in the crates are the ones that are horrific. I didn't want to get rid of them, but we can do our best to make sure no one stumbles across them by accident. And here's our centerpiece!

[A book stand is set up in the center of the room, at a good height for a pony but perhaps a bit low for a human, with two books atop it. Twilight stops next to it, looking very satisfied with herself, raising a hoof to rest on one of the covers.]

Theo and Dan are here to help you with anything you need!

[Hey there's a lot of commotion going on down in the theater some time after the riff. A wandering Cambot has decided to go check it out and HOLY SMOKES WHAT IN THE NAME OF MIKE IS THAT THING AND WHY DOES IT HAVE SUNGLASSES]

HEY! HOW COULD YOU GUYS JUST LEAVE ME IN HERE? THAT IS NOT COOL, DUDES! I OUTTA TEACH YOU A LESSON DRAGONBALL Z STYLE!

[A WILD...goldfish in a hat and shades?...appears. It flops around on the floor indignantly.]

Oh come on, man! A Magikarp? Seriously? That's not cool! Why does everyone else get to be all the cool Pokemon?! I mean I could've at least been a Gyrados. Those things are hardcore, man! Or a Mewtwo! Then I could totally throw things around with my mind, man, that would be awesome!

[Have we mentioned he's doing this whole rant while flopping around out of water?]

Guys? Guuuuuuys? Pinkie Pie? Twilight Sparkle?

...I can't eat this muffin. It goes right through me!

...And I'm hungry too...

DUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!

Did ya miss me? Me and Minako totally just went back in time to the early nineties! We met this cool sleepy-eyed guy who said he knows you robot dudes and we almost got to meet ROB LIEFELD but they kind of kicked me out when I got in line.

And DUDE! I got ALL THESE AWESOME COMIC BOOKS!

[He can barely even lift the giant stack of comics as he holds them up to show Cambot. It's probably a very impressive collection, but Cambot doesn't seem interested in that. It pans down and zooms in on his finger as he keeps talking.]

Anyhoo so what'd I miss you guys? I mean you should've told me if Kurt Cobain was here, I'm totally his biggest fan! He's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him.

[Keeeep talkin', 90s Kid. Cambot's just gonna get your hand up on still store because.....is that......a wedding band?!]

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!

A little white worm that seems to be sticking out of someone's ear wiggles happily, as though waving at the camera. It's a little unsettling that this particular worm seems to have a smiling face...but it's even more unsettling when that smile suddenly seems a bit...troll-ish. And then suddenly, there's music!]

((LOL I chose that song because it's been stuck in my head for about a week. But believe me, it gets worse >8D))

[Midna tugs at a lock of her hair as she looks at the camera. Her hair seems to have poofed up into a cloud of red curls, though otherwise she still looks the same. She's not too concerned with the change, though; she has other issues to bring up.]

I've been checking the floors to see what else is happening; the media deck's music got hit too.

[She nudges Cambot to point at the screen.]

Does anyone know what this is about?

[She has no idea what this thing is. What is an MTV?]

[Another normal day on the SoL, that is, until a newcomer crash lands on the ground. The hedgehog rolls to a complete stop and groans. He pushes himself up, dusting off his backside and legs.]

Sal? Hey, Sal!

[Slowly turning his head this way and that way, looking for his fellow freedom fighter.]

Man, what is this place?

[Cambot catches his attention and he stops moving. It doesn't look like Robotnik's Spybots. He's still suspicious of the thing.] Yo, Buttnik!

[Definitely eying up Cambot, one has to be cautious, after all.]

[Oh no. Oh no it's Minako's Cambot. And there is Minako playing the piano--]

Hey guys!

It's pretty funny...this weekend will be six months that we all started appearing on the Satellite of Love! We've survived, which I think it pretty awesome, and we did it in style. Hell, we even beat a personification of chaos on the way!

[...Wait. She's wearing normal clothes. No sketch set. No weird art. No pregnancy tests. No Chevys This...seeming lack of skit might actually be creepier than a skit. Though there might be a small drizzle of confetti

Nice music she's playing.]

Oh, and by the by, yeah, I can totally play the piano. Weird, huh? I bet people didn't think I could. But I can! Its been years since I've played, though one of my friends played a piano, so that kinda made me interested in it again. Actually, my mommy made me stop my piano playing because I don't play normal piano songs like...Mozert or Beatover or anything and it annoyed her and my tutor. So he failed me and I got kicked out and grounded.

[She stops playing.]

But I couldn't help that those songs are boring! 'Sides, I prefer not classical music. Its less boring!

[And suddenly she bursts into another song.]

See! Waaaay more upbeat!

Anyhow! Cake and ice cream on the theatrical deck for six months! Cambot, you can start bringing more confetti down now if you want. Its a celebration!

[Ask and Minako will receive. A giant pile is dumped onto her, forcing her to stop playing.]

...

Heeeeeeey...

[We come upon Saria, once again in the nature deck. She's sitting on a log sitting out in the middle of the pond; it can be assumed she crossed the water to sit there, and she's looking up at something. Cambot pans up; there's a rainbow all the way across the ceiling of the deck!!! Saria is watching it happily, a slight contemplative look in her eyes, when suddenly there's the faint music of a banjo...

(we can assume she's singing without the frog in her throat :P)]

[Maes is sitting at a table in the media deck, reading a medical text book. He looks bored out of his mind but isn't going to stop. He taps a pencil up and down a few times and Cambot zooms in when he starts to hear Maes say something...or at least, he thought he was. Instead Cambot picks up this]

Do do-do-doo

[Oh no. It can't be. He can't be starting to sing]

Mahna Mahna

[Maes blinks and looks up at Cambot.]

[Immediately on the heels of this conversation, Ven gets to pose his question to a roving Cambot.]

What's sex? Terra and Aqua don't want to tell me.

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!

It appears to be a short, yellow school bus...with rockets? There are no children on board, just a woman with crazy orange hair and a lizard on her shoulders. She looks up from her console and waves, clearly delighted, before honking the horn.

The viewscreen zooms in on her. She has her messy orange hair in a bun and appears to be wearing an outfit covered in planets and stars, her earrings (however) are a pair of Sputnik 1 satellites.]

Good morning, space cadets!

I hope you don't mind me passing by your satellite. I was doing a routine inspection of the bus's orbital stability and rocket boosters when I noticed your lovely ship and just had to get a closer look!

[She looks at the lizard]

It's a shame the class isn't here, Liz, I would love to teach them about satellites. Hmm, I might have to make a note of that. We've already been to space once, but as I always say "there's always room for more space!"

[Did her earrings just glow briefly?]

Oh, but I suppose you all know all about satellites seeing as you are aboard one right now.

[90s Kid and his shade are sitting on the floor in the hall. Yes, in the hall. There are strewm packages of pop rocks and coke cans, which the two of them seem to be consuming. The shade is starting to look a little sick, making a gesture and saying something as if to say it's had enough.]

Hey man, you wanna mess with my friends, you gotta go through me! Or are you too chicken?

[At that, the shade scowls, grabbing another package of pop rocks and ripping it open, tipping the contents into its mouth and chugging a can of soda. As 90s Kid starts to do the same though, the shade suddenly starts to convulse, clutching its stomach, its mouth open as if screaming in pain. Quickly taking his cue, Cambot looks away as there is a loud POOF and a puff of smoke washes past 90s Kid. Apparently the shade just exploded. And 90s Kid isn't quite sure what to make of that at first, just sitting there frozen with the soda just barely touching his lips.

Then, inevitably.]

DUUUUUUUDE! That was AWESOME! I guess I win!

[Cambot picks up his feed on the costume deck, if the surprisingly neat piles of clothes are any indication. Prominent in the foreground are the trademark black Organization coat, with matching pants and other articles of clothing along with. A figure - Lexaeus, given the height and size of him - is bending into a cabinet that seems to be a jumble of clothes.]

[Cambot brushes a pile of clothes and it topples over; Lexaeus straightens too quickly and bumps his head, bringing a shower of Bellarian accoutrements, wigs, props, and other things down on his head. He turns to see who made the noise.]

[And, well.]

( [So THAT'S where the Fabio wigs were.] )

[Lexaeus faces the camera directly. While not, perhaps, as familiar as Xigbar or Xaldin with waking up in random places with no memory of how he got there, he is fairly clear on the fact that this is something odd.]

Greetings. I seem to have found myself here through unknown forces. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on and where I am?

[Phineas is on the cafeteria deck and it looks like he's just gotten a sandwich. He seems to find it really interesting since he's just staring at it, so of course this catches Cambot's attention too. It looks like someone burned the bread. And the meat. And the lettuce. And somehow even the mustard.]

Is it just me or has everything been getting darker here the last couple days?
