Hiiiiiii, everypony!

[The pink pony seems cheerfully oblivious to the Hebby Rep chewing on her head.] My name's Pinkie Pie, and I just gotta say, this is the coolest dream ever! Whoever set this up totally knew what they were doing! And I mean, I've had some real dream-doozies, like that time when everything in Ponyville turned into cake and I had to eat it all while Twilight played on the tuba, but I've never-ever dreamed up my very own shiny dream-lizard before!

[She lifts a foreleg to point, causing the spirit to leap and clamp his jaws around that instead. Pinkie smiles.] I think I'm gonna call him Toothy!

Hey, nice to meet you! I guess you know Rarity and the princesses, huh?

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! Rarity's one of my super-bestest friends EVER!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I'm sure she'll be glad to see you. I'm York, by the way.

[sailorlaughter]

Hi, York! It's totally great to meet you, I've never made friends with a robot before!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York laughs and takes off his helmet.]

I'm a human; I've just got armor on. I guess humans are new too, right?

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Nah, I just met one a few seconds ago. His name's Sora!

Are you part of the Guard? Our Guard doesn't wear armor all over like that, only sorta here and here. [She gestures generally at her torso and head.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I guess you could say that. It's kind of similar.

[sailorlaughter]

That's cool! My friend Twilight's brother is the captain of the Royal Guard back home! Well, actually, I dunno if he does that anymore. Can you be a Captain and a Prince at the same time?

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I guess it depends on the place. We don't have too many princes back home.

[sailorlaughter]

We've only got two. I'm pretty sure Prince Blueblood doesn't do anything but sit around and be a big mean snooty-pants, but Shining Armor helps do stuff with the Crystal Empire! He got married to Princess Cadence, so they both rule it now, but I think it's kinda mostly her job. She's the one with the big fancy crystal throne!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Are all your rulers called princesses?

[Shouldn't she be an empress if she's in charge of an empire? Maybe not; maybe it's just totally different naming conventions.]

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! There's Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence! Oh, and Twilight now, she's a princess! She just got turned into one a little bit ago, so she's not really doing any ruling or anything.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I guess she'll want to get used to being a princess before she gets into the heavy stuff.

[Pinkie seems to be taking things pretty well, so York nudges Delta to appear; after the Roxas incident he's trying to be more considerate about introducing him.]

I'd like you to meet Delta.

Greetings.

[sailorlaughter]

Ooooooh! Hi, Delta! Are you a ghostie? It's okay if you are, I'm not scared of ghosts - I've got a song for them instead!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I am an artificial intelligence program. The technology on your world has not developed to the point where individuals like myself exist.

He's just another person; he keeps an eye out for me when I can't do it. [York grins.]

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! [She supposes that makes sense. She hadn't really wanted to say anything about the eye, though.] Can you put your hoof...hand thing through him?

Someday I'll get tired of making jokes about the eye. Maybe.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York shrugs.]

I can, but it's kind of rude, don't you think?

It is merely a projection; physical contact with it might distort it, but it would not help me.

[sailorlaughter]

Is it rude? I'm sorry, I've never met anypony all see-through and stuff before! The closest we have in Equestria is probably Windigoes, they're like ghosty things that eat hatred and make it winter forever!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Don't worry about it. Delta's kind of a special case, even when we're at home.

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I hope you can tell your friends that things are okay at home.
