Garnet 01 }{ Video or Action

[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]

Such a vision of loveliness would inspire even the laziest roustabout to action!

[And then more seriously, although there's not that much difference between his shameless flirtations and his normal tone...]

Besides, a complete bodily transformation is pretty startling to say the least, and there are Nightmares. If I go with you, I know that at least you'll stay safe while you're getting the hang of the new form.

You're very sweet.

[Setsuna offers the ninja a smile that is small but pleasant. She pats the spot between the Pricklemane's ears and looks to Edge]

So how do we go about getting to this world?

It's a short walk, is all. All of the other different worlds are reached by going to the particular... nexus, I suppose, on the world you're on.

[He beckons for her to join him, as he turns to lead the way.]

[Knowing where these Nexus are sounds important. She will need this information sooner rather than later. She nods and follows the ninja towards wherever the Nexus of this world might be. Curious about this Ponyville.

The Dream Eater squeaks and follows, Setsuna realizing that she might need to choose a name for her soon.]

[Through the streets they go, Edge's Spirits following along -- Kaiton gamboling, Suiton simply pacing -- until at last they reach the fountain, with its curious dog imagery. Edge turns to face her again, one hand spread towards it.]

This, for some reason, is where we travel. Four connecting worlds. Traverse Town, which we're in. Twilight Town, the Mother of Invention, and Ponyville. You simply decide where you want to go, and --

[Into the portal he steps, no matter than it hadn't been there a second ago!]

[Setsuna studies the portal behind him even as he starts talking about it. She's still listening, but she wants to see and study it for herself as well. Setsuna blinks and straightens up in surprise when Edge suddenly steps through. She'd been about to step closer herself to examine the fountain and its properties.

She looks down at the Pricklemane.]

Well, I suppose that will have to wait. Shall we?

[She thinks of Ponyville and follows him through with her Spirit following behind.]

[On the other side, a pony waits right by where he expects her to appear, since he also expects he'll be ducking in to prop her up when she finds herself on four legs for the first time. What sort of gentleman would he be if he allowed her to fall?]

[It doesn't hurt and she doesn't even realize the transformation has taken place...at first. Then the strange shift in gravity sets in and she does stumble forward, leaning heavily on her front hands. No, no they're hooves now. Setsuna looks down at this new form, clearly startled despite the many stories she had already heard about this place.]

Oh...

[She takes a breath to calm herself, tossing her hair back. It would appear that her skin here is black and in contrast to it her hair takes on a greener hue. While she cannot see it, Edge will probably notice the unique cutie mark on her flank. It is of the Garnet Orb interlocked with the planetary symbol for Pluto. Also, for the record, she is a unicorn.]

This is stranger than I imagined...

[Yup, she makes for a pretty unicorn! Or at least so he assumes, he's not really sure what the standards are here.]

You all right?

[He steps away carefully, to let her stand on her own, then look her over. For his own part, his cutie mark is obscured by a cloak, though it's just a throwing star so it isn't too impressive.]

You're a unicorn. That means you can do magic as a pony!

[She's a little wobbly at first, but even as he's moving away she's steadying herself. Trotting in place to test her hooves and get the feeling for this shifted sense of balance that comes with having four legs instead of two.]

I'm...fine. Sorry, it does take some getting used to.

[She blinks. She can't see her horn of course, but the idea that she can use magic doesn't surprise her so much. It probably has something to do with her status as the guardian of time.]

A unicorn uses magic? Do you know anything about how that magic is activated?

[She notices that he has no horn, but perhaps he had heard someone else mention it.]

It's through the horn. Picking things up with magic is all I've seen people do, but the Princesses have been teaching people. You'll want the white one. I've been learning pegasus tricks myself.

[He spreads his wings dramatically, making his cloak billow as they flip out from beneath it. Still that sense of drama, of course.]

[She ponders briefly if that means it's like channeling her attacks through the garnet rod. She doesn't see why it wouldn't be and decides she'll try it later.]

I think I was speaking with a darker colored pony before you came along. Is she not a good teacher?

[She hadn't even noticed the wings and steps back in surprise at the sudden flourish of wings.]

O-oh! So you are a pegasus pony. You kept those very well hidden.

That's not intentional, it just comes from wearing a cape as a human. Does have a certain amount of style though, doesn't it?

[He lifts a hoof and leans his head back, very deliberately posing and inviting her to consider what a handsome pony he makes.]

That sounds like Princess Luna. She's a great teacher, she's just the one who's teaching the pegasuses how to fly and control the weather. Her sister is teaching the unicorns magic.

It is very becoming, although I admit I do not know much about pony fashion.

[She nods.]

So they are dividing the work so that all pony types may benefit. That makes more sense. I will have to look up the other princess now that I know what type of pony I am to be here.

[She looks past him and towards Ponyville]

I believe the best way to learn is to practice. Shall we move forward?

Absolutely!

[Edge turns to address his Spirits, who snap to attention.]

All right! Our mission is to protect the lady from all Nightmares while she gets her bearings! Can you handle it?

[As one, the two hustle forward, then fan out to canvas the area. Edge turns back to Setsuna, lifting a hoof.] There you go! The best protection the sleeping worlds have to offer will keep you safe!

[Setsuna's Pricklemane, not wanting to be left out, hops forward to join the other two when they are called to attention. She wants to help too! Besides, Setsuna is her partner and that means she has to pull her weight here too. Especially if they're all protecting Setsuna.

She squeaks excitedly when he announces the mission and asks if they can handle it. However, she does not run off but sticks to Setsuna's side. She's not going to run off like those others, they can protect from afar.

Setsuna, for her part, watches the two Spirits scamper off before looking down at her own. She smiles.]

So I see. That is very reassuring that they will scout ahead for us.

That's the least courtesy a ninja of the Eblan clan has to offer!

[Edge proves that he can snap his cape melodramatically even in an equine form.]

You'll have to meet my others someday too. And start building up for your own clan!

A whole clan? How many dream eaters do you have?

[And how many can she be expected to make?]

You must have fought a number of Nightmares to collect enough pieces for that.

[She'd paid attention to the moogles instructions enough to know that pieces could be obtained that way.]

Oh, uh, three, but I was more referring to... you know, me.

[Come on, give him some credit for being awesome. How much more does he have to show off before she swoons, anyway?]

Though I suppose as my Spirits, they're a part of the clan as well, like a trained combat animal would be. Not that they're animals, it's just the closest thing.

[Unfortunately the way to impress Setsuna is not through boasts. Besides, she doesn't have a lot of time for swooning, she's a guardian.]

Sorry. I misunderstood what you were referring to.

[He'll find a way]

I forget people aren't used to that sort of thing around here. Few knights, few paladins or dragoons, even the mages don't obey the rules I'm used to. It's strange here.

You get used to it, though. Have no fear!

That might be part of the whole 'different worlds' nature of this place. Laws of magic could easily vary between universes, just as other universal laws may change.

And yet they all work here. Isn't that strange?

[He shakes his head, a fairly epic maneuver considering a muzzle has much more to it than a face.]

If these worlds are truly dream worlds, then is that such a surprise? People can do all kinds of things in there dreams. We may only be limited by what we perceive to be the truth and what should happen based on our personal concepts of reality.

I see why you like Princess Luna. [Edge clears his throat.] But that doesn't explain things like the Dream Eaters, or why we're both ponies right now. I'm pretty sure none of that has anything to do with my concepts of reality!
