[The person on the screen of the communicator is pretty clearly not human. Humanoid, yes, and not terribly bad looking at that, but still not anything that could really be called human. There's a Komory Bat lurking over her shoulder.]

Excuse me efurrybody! I know this is supurrsed to be a dream bubble, but I need to know if any of my furriends are here. Also if anyone could tell me where we are, it would be apurreciated. I don’t think I’ve seen this dream befur.

[That's certainly an unusual accent. But who is Luna to judge?]

This is Traverse Town. And if thy friends are of the same...species as thou, I regret to inform thee they are not present.

[whoseesbynight]

Trafurse Town?

[That's an awfully strange name for a place, but then again, who's she to remark on the oddities of dream logic.]

And of course they're the same as me. Whyefur wouldn't they be?

[raisethemoon]

[She gives her wings a short shrug.]

We hath friends not of our own kind. 'Tis not so unusual.

[whoseesbynight]

I supawse I do too, but they're not the ones I'm looking fur.

[brodakota]

[This is North. He is waiting for the moment that Wash meets this girl. If he hadn't met the ponies, he'd probably be weirded out right now, but as far as he's concerned, anything can happen here.]

That's a lot of puns there.

But you're in a place called Traverse Town. It's a world that's sleeping.

[whoseesbynight]

[There's a happy laugh at the comment about puns.]

I'm glad to see someone apurreciates them.


Do you know why it's sleeping?

[brodakota]

[He's not sure what's worse, puns or knock knock jokes, but he tolerates the latte, so why not the former as well?]

Well, it's a better reaction than some of the ones I've seen.

And no, I don't. Exactly why we're here is still something of a mystery.

[whoseesbynight]

Reeeeally?

[She sounds... possibly too excited about the idea of something being a mystery.]

[shadearchivist]

Hello; I am Ienzo. It's good to meet you. This place is the Realm of Sleep; this world in particular is called Traverse Town. I haven't seen anyone else who looks like you or heard anyone here make mention of dream bubbles before, so I doubt any of your friends are present, unfortunately.

[whoseesbynight]

Are you pawsitive you haven't seen them? Some of them are really good at being sneaky.

[shadearchivist]

I'm positive I haven't encountered them, though I admit that that does not necessarily mean they aren't here.

[whoseesbynight]

Well, I suppose we'll just have to see if they turn up.

[York shows up on the screen with Delta next to him.]

Hey, more new people. Welcome to town; I'm York and this little green guy here is Delta. I can't say I've seem any of your friends around, but I'll keep my eyes open.

[whoseesbynight]

It's nice to meet you both. And if you see any of them, just let them know that Nepeta was looking fur them.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I definitely will. So where do you come from? We've got people from all over, it looks like.

[And he and Delta both really want to know, but 'what are you' would be really rude.]

[whoseesbynight]

You wouldn't have heard of it. It's very fur away.

Late to the party, sorry! Will respond to permissions and things later

[colorbymemory]

[This is an interesting new arrival.]

This is Traverse Town. I don't think I've seen any of your friends, but if they're here, some of them might use the communicator to say hello

[whoseesbynight]

It's pawsible! They might be busy though.

[colorbymemory]

True, they might be. If you'll let me know your name and their names, I can tell them you're looking for them if I see them.

Oh! My name is Namine.

[Bolin is friends with a pony so the grey humanoid isn't as strange to him as it once might have been. Plus, let's face it, Bolin is super friendly and not one to be deterred by species differences.]

Hello! It'd help if you gave your name, that way I could tell you if anyone had mentioned you before. Or, I guess if your friends are here they'll let you know.

But welcome to Traverse Town! I'm Bolin. I work at the Potion Shop some days and I've also started my own business of making clothes for the Dream Eaters. [His grin widens.] I like your hat by the way, it's really cute. Did you make it?

[whoseesbynight]

You can just tell them AC was looking fur them.

And yes, I made it myself.

[buymedumplings]

Okay, I'll do that.

Neat! I really like it.

[unrecovered]

[That is a gray-skinned person making cat puns. Wash...isn't quite sure what to make of this.]

Pretty sure I haven't seen anybody else who looks like you.

And, "dream bubble?"

[whoseesbynight]

Not anyone?

[She doesn't sound too upset about the idea though. It's more as if she just wants to be absolutely sure.]

Mmhmmm. They're places where people can meet when they're asleep!

[unrecovered]

Believe me, I would have remembered if I'd met someone else who looked like you.

[...what.] So this communal dreaming thing is normal to you?
