[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.]

Comments

[amygdalae]

[Very friendly is one way to put it...]

Yeah, I see the doors-- [Oh the pony is going already--] --uh, thanks?

[He's just... going to wait here awkwardly. Yeah.]

Action

[sailorgenerous]

[True to her word, it doesn't take Rarity long to arrive in the First District, a Nightmare Meow Wow dogging her heels. She picks it up with her magic and tosses it to Spike the Pricklemane, who pounces it with extreme prejudice. With the Nightmare gone, she magics the dropped munny and dream pieces into her saddlebags and tosses a cookie to Spike. Obviously this is all very old hat by now.]

Oh- there you are! Hello!

[She trots over, all smiles and manners.]

I realized I completely forgot to introduce myself earlier. My name is Rarity. And yours?

Action

[amygdalae]

[Uh--wow.

Okay that was not what he had been expecting, certainly. So that is a 'fight'...

Something to keep in mind, he supposes.]

Hello. [Returns with a small smile of his own, awkward and uncertain. Forgive Bruce, this kind of thing is still new to him.] Uh--don't worry about it. My name's Bruce. Bruce Banner.

[sailorgenerous]

Lovely to meet you, Bruce. [She says it with total sincerity; a new friend is a new friend, after all.] Now, I can take you to the hotel, or I can take you back to my boutique if you'd like a place to clean up and rest for a bit. [She's completely unworried about inviting a stranger back home; he seems nice, after all, and she's got Emile, who is...protective.] Whichever you'd prefer.

[amygdalae]

It's nice to meet you too. [Admittedly he is still trying to get used to the whole pony thing, even if he's seen four by now. Things like these still take time.]

Well, um. [...he's not quite sure what is the best response here. Should he accept? Should he not? Its not often when people actually give him choices like this...] I don't want to trouble you, so maybe the hotel? I can try to figure out my own way from there.

[sailorgenerous]

Oh, it's no trouble at all! [She waves away his concerns with a hoof - she's getting quite used to this, actually.] Though I can certainly take you to the hotel, if that's what you'd like. It's just in the next district over. Do be careful of Nightmares, though - they can get nasty.

[Spike, in the meantime, bounces over to the Meow Wow and squeaks a greeting. Hi! Your person's new, right?]

[amygdalae]

[There's a nod from Bruce here.]

I'll make sure to keep my guard up. You don't need to worry about me on the way over.

[The still unnamed Meow Wow looks at Spike and wuffles back. Hello! Yes, my person is new! Also kind of strange, but I think I like him. He smells like hot dogs.]
