Roll 1d6

[punsofiron]

[The comm comes on to the face of a young blonde woman in a black Iron Maiden shirt with a brick wall against her back. She fiddles a moment, getting a feel for the device on her wrist, then rests her chin on her hand and looks down at the camera with some interest.]

So, a little birdie told me that this is some kind of dream world and we're all stuck in it until we find a way to wake ourselves up.

[She tilts the comm over slightly to indicate the Pricklemane in the background, wandering around idly and looking around the premises; apparently they're outside the general store.]

Guess that explains this guy, at least. Granted, I much prefer the dream where I'm fighting rage zombies with an M-16 and Bruce Campbell in his underwear, but I guess I'll take it. I've heard weirder stories. So. What do you guys do for fun around here?

Hey, welcome to town; I'm Lea. Fun is mostly going out for ice cream, struggle battles, hanging out, skateboarding, stuff like that.

[punsofiron]

I'm Liz.

Ice cream is never a bad way to pass the time. Never heard of a struggle battle though.

[eternalfrolicbond]

It's basically sparring with foam bats. They have tournaments sometimes.

[raisethemoon]

...praytell, what is a "rage zombie?"

1/2

[punsofiron]

The fast kind, usually not dead ye--

2/2

[punsofiron]

[...hold the phone. That's a pony. That's princess Luna of My Little freaking Pony.

Sorry Luna, Liz's train of thought just completely derailed.]

[dork_of_keys]

That little birdie isn't lying.

[Before Sora can say anything else, there is a fluffy white and pink bat face filling the communicator screen, squeaking enthusiastic greetings at the new Pricklemane. Clearly, Bruce is not very well disciplined, at least outside of battle. Sora's quick to pull the chattering Spirit out of view. This is a pretty regular thing every time a new person appears.]

Sorry, this fluffy knucklehead has no manners... Uh, anyway, I'm Sora. If you need anything, feel free to ask. Pretty much everyone is ready to help out. Oh, right!

[He fiddles with his communicator, causing the image to wiggle a bit. What he's doing is sending a document with information on all the Dream Eaters... at least the ones he knows of.]

I've been here before, so I set up a guide about the Dream Eaters.

[punsofiron]

[Fffff what is that thing it's cute! Liz looks amused as it flaps around, while meanwhile in the background the Pricklemane just flicks its tail and barely acknowledges the other Dream Eater.

Document get!] Oh hey, thanks! The moogle gave me a quick summary, but well, quick summaries are quick.

[dork_of_keys]

[He's a Komory Bat and he does not need his ego stroked. A little attention would be nice, though, and he's a little disappointed that the new Pricklemane seems to be ignoring him.]

Yeah they don't really have a lot of information. At least they try to help and... they kind of run most of the businesses here. But a few people did open some businesses after getting stuck here.

[Suddenly pony]

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME~!
WELCOME TO TRAVERSE TOWN~!
I don't have a rhyme for Traverse Town yet so please eat this cupcaaaaaake~! [Suddenly, pony has cupcake]

[action]

[punsofiron]

[...suddenly pony, alright. You might have just startled Liz onto her ass with that sudden pony.

Liz just stares, reflexively taking the offered cupcake. Two ponies in the span of a few minutes, now she knows she's dreaming.]

...thanks?

[action]

[sailorlaughter]

The best I could come up with was "funion round", but Steve said they didn't have any of those here. Aaaaactually, he said that I should go look for them myself, and that they were probably waaaaaaaaay over on the other side of town, but then on my way there I met you! So sorry I didn't bring you any funions! They wouldn'tve tasted very good with the cupcakes anyway.

So hey, what's your name? Mine's Pinkie Pie!

[frostyfuntimes]

[Have a white haired kid peering back. He's always interested in meeting new people. There's a white Komory Bat on his head]

Fun? Well, depends on what you want to do. I've frozen the fountains a few times and gotten a few good snowball fights out of people. Sounds like your idea of fun is a little bit more rough than that though.

But, hey, if you're looking for fun I'm your guy.

[punsofiron]

[Another one, eh? Looks like Liz is just surrounded by batty people.]

Hey, snowball fights work too. I should warn you though, I show no mercy.

Though, you froze the fountains? What, we talking liquid nitrogen or something?

[Sorry Jack, RotG is after Liz's canonpoint :B]

[frostyfuntimes]

That might come in handy. I don't tend to lose snow games.

[He leaned back, holding a hand out and letting a snowflake start to dance between his fingers.]

Something like that.

[unrecovered]

If that little bird had bat wings and a pompom, it's right. You're in for the long haul.

[Wait. He thinks he's seen that one. York made him sit through a lot of movies.] As I recall, he had a hard enough time beating them fully clothed. And with a chainsaw.

[punsofiron]

That's the one.

[She smirks a little] Yeah, but then he's also got me.

[unrecovered]

They're called Moogles. If you need anything while you're here, they're a good place to start.

And you're an experienced zombie-killer. [At this point, he'd buy it. The realm of dreams is just that weird.]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine isn't quite sure she understood everything this newcomer said, so she tilts her head a little as she tries to parse it out.]

I don't think the Moogles are birds, but if that's who you're talking about, they're right.

Usually what we do for fun is different for each of us.

[Zombies of any kind and Bruce Campbell in his underwear are topics best saved for another time. When she's more sure of if she even wants to ask.]

[punsofiron]

It's a figure of speech. I know, they're more like squeaky teddybear cats or something.

[colorbymemory]

[That description makes Namine smile.]

Maybe, but I don't think they'd like to know anyone called them that.

[Moogles are kind of strict about that sort of thing.]

[wavesinherheart]

It is a dream world, yes. And what people do depends on them, I think.

[punsofiron]

Well, I just mean in terms of what's available. I don't suppose you guys have any RPG games sitting around? Or card games?

[the_mechanic]

Sounds familiar, but it's usually robotic sharks and Captain America Miss July. [A wistful smirk.]

And not to be Captain Redundancy here, but yeah, you're pretty much stuck with the rest of us. Enjoy.

[There's a bat perched on Tony's head, and it chitters in greeting, both to Liz and her spiky friend. Tony ignores it entirely.]

[punsofiron]

[Ohhai Iron Man. ....actually she's not even really surprised anymore after Linkara told her stories of Cable breaking into his apartment. And of course the two ponies earlier.]

Nah, robotic sharks just kill it for me. Tigers, maybe, but not sharks.

[The prickly one is still just off doing its own thing, not paying attention to Liz or to whoever she's talking to. Liz spares it a glance with a raised eyebrow.]
