[A new woman's face make an appearance on the communicator. She is sitting at a cafe in Traverse Town's first district with it propped up against something on the table. She seems fairly comfortable with using it. Her dark hair falls over her shoulders and she brushes it back without thought. A cup of tea can be seen sitting in front of her and she sits before it with an elegant grace about her. She is in fashionable civilian clothes and she offers the broadcast a warm, if small, smile.]

Hello. My name is Setsuna Meioh. I've been filled in on what I believe are the basics of this place and what has been going on. Or at least that this is a very elaborate dream world. I'm afraid the Moogle could not give me much information on who was here or who would be a good person to speak with about the current problems that result in people being pulled into dreams that are not there own. Or why they are being attacked in them for that matter.

[She sighs, letting it turn into an action that cools her tea. She raises the cup to her lips, sips, and then sets it back down, she looks down at the tea with a pensive expression.]

I thought I was done worrying about being attacked in my dreams. I suppose my prediction that the peace would not last was accurate.

[She looks up. Trying to appear cool, calm, and collected. It's fairly successful except for the tiny bit of worry in her eyes.]

I'll be at this outdoors cafe if you would like to meet in person. I do prefer speaking that way over communication devices like this...but I can understand if you are shy to meet me. I only wish to have more information.

[The feed will end there. If persons are in the First District of Traverse Town feel free to sit and join her. The bag the moogle gave her rests on the table and obviously she hasn't made her Dream Eater yet. Perhaps you would like to give her some advice]

[It's not exactly that he's shy to meet, and more that he's still not in the best state to have a face-to-face talk with a stranger. He doesn't need anymore bad first impressions.

Something pings him as unusual though.]

...You've made a habit of being attacked in dreams?

[video]

[timeywimeyorb]

I wouldn't call it a habit.

It just seems strange that the last entity to try to kill my friends did so through Dreams...or Nightmares if you will. It was a difficult battle, but I thought we had ended it.

[She can't be entirely sure this isn't somehow related, although she is positive Sailor Moon would have completely taken care of Nehellenia.]

[video]

[battleborndr]

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think the two instances are connected. Seems like the worlds themselves are more in danger, and we're just along for the ride. That's my theory at least.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

[Not long after that message, a mysterious cloaked figure leaps from a building near the cafe, landing as melodramatically as possible in a three-point pose and flurry of cape, facing away from her.]

[He rises slowly, then turns, snapping his cape again with just as much melodrama as he faces her.] When a cute girl calls for help, I'll always be there, whether it's battle or just a need for answers!

[action]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna just sits up and blinks at the figure. She's not exactly startled, but certainly curious...and surprised. Really surprised honestly because she's not really used to people doing that.

Her lips twitch in resistance to a smile.]

You serve all such ladies then?

[She turns in her seat to better face him.]

And does the cloaked figure ready to serve have a name?

[action]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Chivalry is not just the realm of knights, but also of ninjas -- and I, Edge, am at your service!

[He bows grandly to her, a bow which is much-spoiled as a Hebby Repp scrambles up his back and makes him stumble.]

[video]

[raisethemoon]

Does that happen frequently? You humans really ought to have someone in charge of dreams...

[From Luna's point of view, humans have a generally flawed system of everything. They even let the weather just do what it wants!]

[video]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna is perhaps not as surprised as she should be at the talking alicorn. Then again, she is frequently visited by a talking kitten and her talking parents, personifications of her sailor crystal, and of course just recently witnessed Helios's other form. She does note the dark blue pony's lunar theme and while she does not question it yet, smiles slight at it. SHe takes it as a good omen.]

Not specifically dreams, no. However, our system has often been plagued by dark and evil forces seeking to corrupt the shining light of the Silver Crystal. It was only that this most recent incident resulted in attacks perpetuated through dreams.

[She tilts her head.]

Strange that you mention that though, seeing as we do seem to have a guardian of everything else.

[There's a twinkle in her eyes. She's clearly referring to something she finds amusing. Setsuna smiles.]

[video]

[raisethemoon]

...is that so?

[Luna just raises an eyebrow, curious and perhaps on the edge of wariness. Just what is that look?]

[It takes Jeeves more than a few minutes to get from Ponyville to Traverse town, but he would like to address the new woman by her preferred means of contact. In-person meetings tend to offer a greater wealth of information, anyway. He arrives at the cafe with his Komory Bat, Descartes, in tow.

The spirit squeaks happily and goes flying ahead of Jeeves toward the New Person. It flits around her wearing a bright grin across its face. Jeeves doesn't bother to call it back because a. that's a losing battle, and b. he's watching the young woman's reaction.

He's also nearly at the table now.]

Ms. Meioh, I presume? My apologies for my Spirit. He is a most willful animal.

[action]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Even though she has only been here a short while, she has already learned to tell the difference between the friendly Spirits and the nightmares. So, when the bat-like creature flies at her she does not flinch away. Instead she smiles pleasantly.]

Hello. And who do you belong to?

[She holds a hand up to the creature, knowing that the spirits like this tend to have an owner. She looks past him and spies the approaching man right away. She bows her head, both in greeting and agreement.]

Yes, hello. [She glances back to the bat.] It's all right. He only seems to be excited to meet new faces. No harm done.

[She turns her attention back to Jeeves.]

You heard my call then? I appreciate that you would come, Mr...?

[action]

[juniorganymedian]

[He'd gotten the impression over the communicator that she was a level woman. This would certainly seem to confirm it. Jeeves tips his hat.]

Jeeves, miss. My Spirit is called Descartes.

[Descartes squeaks at his name, landing on the table and beginning to examine the cup she'd been drinking from? Is it sweet? He likes sweets!]

I did, indeed, receive your missive. I'm sorry my arrival was somewhat delayed, but I hope the others have provided stimulating conversation with which to pass the intervening time. I'm afraid I may not have very much more to offer in intelligence depending on who might have responded.

[He raises his eyebrows just slightly.] I hope you will not think it an imposition if I request to join you, anyway, miss. [He had been struck by... something about her. Jeeves can't place his finger on what exactly that is, yet.]

[skysmirror]

[Xion usually does not greet newcomers. Not out of malice, but mostly because she prefers to observe a bit before saying hello.

Today, though, she happens to be passing through the First District while a new arrival is there, and of course Lightning decides to go see who the new Person is. Silly Thunderaffe.

And of course Pooh follows her.]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna hears the clopping of hooves and looks up from the communication device on her table. She does not see the girl associated with the Thunderaffe as of yet but does look a little surprised to see it come towards her.]

Why hello there. I wasn't expecting to be greeted by a spirit.

[skysmirror]

[Nobody expects the Thunderaffe greetings. Lightning is happy to offer them anyway. Pooh will say hello as well, and look curiously around to see if there is honey.

Xion decides it might be time to help her Spirits settle down. She walks over to put a hand on Lightning, making her fully visible now.]

They like to say hello--sorry if they bothered you.

[colorbymemory]

Hello, Setsuna Meioh. My name is Namine.

Did the Moogles explain where the hotel is and how to make a Spirit?

[Those are important.]

[video]

[timeywimeyorb]

Hello Namine.

[Setsuna pulls the bag with the items the moogle had give her, holding it up.]

And yes, they mentioned something of it, though I was a little unsure if I should start the process now or not. I was still getting my bearing I suppose.

Of course, now that you mention it, I am not sure they actually said what district the hotel was in or what the accommodations were like.

[realmenknitplushies]

Hey.

[Kanji here wasn't planning on responding in person, but he was in the vicinity (taking a break from recent goings-on)... he'll be waving, pulling a chair up backwards and sitting down nearby.]

Thought you were done with stuff, huh? Yeah, I know that feeling.

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna lowers her cup of tea and looks across the table at the young man that joins her. While she had asked for company she is honestly a bit surprised by the number of people taking her up on the offer.]

You've experienced such things before?

[She sighs.]

It's part of my duty, I suppose I should know that it will not be over so easily.

[video]

[boot2thehead]

You too? Just wait until you start sleeping here. [Dreaming while asleep in a dream because you fell asleep. Talk about one headtrip Point Man will probably never want to repeat.]

Not far from there. Could stop by if you want company.

[video]

[timeywimeyorb]

What happens? Do you still dream while you are in a dream world? This is certainly becoming more complicated.

[And she would like more details.]

I have had many people stop by, so it is up to you if you are up to it.

[lessabrasive]

[ It's not often someone arrives in the dream and looks quite so relaxed. Lin's eyebrows are arched high, and her expression guarded. She's not sure what to expect from this woman. ]

Peace rarely lasts. You've mentioned fighting in dreams before?

[timeywimeyorb]

[Most people don't. It comes with the territory.]

True enough. I was just hoping we would have a longer reprieve...

[She considers how best to answer this. It's not that she wants to hide information, it's just difficult to explain without getting into long, complicated stories.]

Yes, it was the most recent enemy trying to enslave the earth. They were doing so through people's dreams, but had other means of invasion as well. Their ultimate goal was to destroy our princess and her line...but we managed to stop them in the end.

[Action] also laaate

[dork_of_keys]

[Sora hasn't checked the network lately, so he hasn't seen the newcomer's post. Instead he's wandering around town, thinking of going to poke around in Ponyville a little more. He's just about made up his mind to do that when Jelly Bean, his Meow Wow, runs off toward First District's cafe. Toxy the Toximander follows suit. Knowing that this means someone or something new is around, Sora follows them and isn't entirely surprised when he finds someone new. He's not even surprised that they're already begging for attention, pets or treats. He sighs. He can't really be annoyed with them. They mean well and besides meeting new people is fun. He smiles as he approaches the new arrival.]

I hope they're not causing any trouble. They tend to like to greet every new person as soon as they know someone's there.

[action] no problem~

[timeywimeyorb]

[It was certainly a new experience for Setsuna. She wasn't used to meeting so many new faces. Usually she's rather solitary, but she's never one to turn away a person or Spirit in this case. She has no treats to offer so she leans over and gives the Meow Wow and Toximander at her feet a head rub.

She figures their owner will be around soon and sure enough a boy appears a few minutes later.]

No, it's not any trouble. Although it's quite impressive that they could pick up on someone new so quickly.

[She smiles, straightening up.]

I'm Setsuna. Who might you be?
