[Soooooo.

Bruce isn't exactly sure where he is, but its pretty clear he isn't in ~~Kansas~~ New York anymore. Or even America, for that matter. Possibly Earth too, considering his attempts to get information.]

Um.

[Should he be using this thing? Its kind of... yeah. Suspicious. Its not everyday you fall asleep to wake up somewhere else with a strange device on you. (Well okay, the first part is something that’s happened while the second... actually, nevermind that.)

At least the place is... interesting. For a lack of a better word.]

If there’s anybody out there watching this - I would appreciate it if I could have an explanation about--all of this. [Gesturing to his surroundings in question for emphasis, which is a nice shot of one of the districts for a few moments before its broken by the aborable sounds of a Meow Wow as it starts to jump up and down, taking the screen each time.]

[...yeah so after a bit Bruce angles the device back at him, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.] I did try asking, but I don’t think a couple of ‘kupos’ and a cat-thing following after me is exactly the answer I’m looking for.

[Attempts to put on a smile here. Just... help him out here, please? He would appreciate it, really.]

[Bruce is probably convinced at this point that this is a world of ponies...]

Welcome to the world of dreams. I'm afraid it's a very long story, and one we are still seeking the answers to.

[...it's kind of cutting it close, yeah.

This time Bruce is just going to... Stare a bit, because one pony is okay, two is still manageable but three is...

Maybe he is really dreaming after all.]

I see. [Awkward pause.] Um. Thanks for the welcome. I think.

Allow me to first reassure you that, according to all the evidence we have, your absence here will not be missed by anypony who awaits you at home. Our stay in the dream worlds, no matter how long it seems to us, appears to be perhaps a night long to those in the waking world.

This is not a promise, but it is what we believe given what we know. I hope that can give you some comfort.

[Excuse Bruce as he blinks at the usage of 'anypony' more than anything else. You really are a pony through and through, huh...

Uh. Anyway.]

Having more information besides some 'kupos' is good, yeah. [Does his best to smile.] I was kind of on my way elsewhere before this happened though, so I don't know if...

[Trails off. Man, how would be explain to Tony if he suddenly appeared and reappeared in his car? Talk about awkward.]

[Just because she's adapted to this world of mostly-humans doesn't mean she hasn't lived on a pony-filled world for hundreds and hundreds of years.]

If I had to guess, it will simply appear as if you nodded off briefly.

[Her serene expression becomes distinctly playful.] I hope if you were with anypony, they don't tease you too badly.

[Well, considering that he was with Tony and he's here...]

I'm sure that won't be the case, but it doesn't matter. I'll be fine.

[Celestia hardly knows the connection... and her knowledge of Tony mostly revolves around his excellent taste in music.]

Have you received adequate instruction from the moogles? Is there any aid you need in adjusting... at least, which can be readily provided?

Um. [A pause as he thinks about it, and when he does, he steps back, shifting the video so that its on the Meow Wow - who's currently rolling on the floor.]

Maybe you could explain to me more about... this? The, ah, moogle was rather agitated with me for some reason.

Your friend there is a Dream Eater. We all have at least one of them as a friend and companion here, and with the moogles' help you may gain others from Figments. These Spirits will help you in battle against their hostile counterparts, the Nightmares.

[At this, a proud Thunderaffe steps into display, looking every inch the stalwart, powerful do-gooder. Chuckling, Celestia pats him on the shoulder.]

This, for example, is Hero. He is... very enthusiastic and dilifent.

[Is so totally taking mental notes right now. This whole thing is still, well, weird, to be sure, but it is interesting. Maybe he should look into it more if he's going to be stuck here...]

Do these Nightmares attack often? Or is there a pattern to it?

[Also, these 'Figments' sound like something he should know, especially as he eyes the Thunderaffe.]

He does look like the part.

[Hero openly preens at the compliment.]

They typically will not harass you in the most open and friendly areas; they prefer allies and darker places. They are easy enough to find if you search for them, but I cannot recommend lowering your guard entirely.

[Nodding at the advice.]

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

You're quite welcome. [She spreads her wings slightly and inclines her head in acknowledgment.] If you wish any aid in your first fights, to practice working with your Spirit, I will be happy to help, as will several others here.

[Oh yeah those fights...

Bruce has no idea if he's up for that since he's not a fan of fighting, but it looks like there'll be times he won't have a choice either. Knowing would be useful, he supposes.]

I'll probably get to that when I'm more settled here. Thanks for the offer.

[While she can sympathize with that outlook, Nightmares are different to her... figments of dream that they are. He would need munny and supplies in time... and some fighting was inescapable.]

Again, you're quite welcome. I am easy enough to find, should you desire.

Where can I find you, if I require your assistance again?

[Not that he will unless its necessary, but its always good to know where he can get help when its needed.]

The skies, for one. [She spreads her wings playfully, their span extending far past what the communicator can display at its distance from her.] I live with my sister and her ward, but I am available by communicator as well.

[Well okay he didn't really think of the skies so much until she said it, but then again he wasn't really thinking of the wings too much yet. It's a lot to take in.]

I suppose the communicator would be the most reliable, then. [Nods.] I'll contact you through there if I have any other questions next time.

I'll look forward to it. I wish you the best of luck here, as well.

Thank you for the thought. You have been most kind.
