001 [video]

Hello~ooo… [in extreme magnification, a pair of eyes blink at the communicator for a few seconds before the face retreats into focus.] Ah! It's working, isn't it? That little light… what a funny dream.

[He chuckles, and holds the communicator a little further away, turning it from side to side.] Very funny. I've tried pinching myself ten thousand times, and I can't seem to wake up! Has anybody found out a better way? If I sleep in all morning I'll ruin my reputation, you see. Everyone will tease me!

[The temporary pout dissolves into a smile as he looks around beyond the communicator.] But maybe I can look around for just a few hours first. That wouldn't be so bad, would it? Ah, look! I think that's a candy store--!

Oh, yes, but when the gods walk among you, perhaps you might come to call their domain after their names. But it sounds as though it's a little different!

Do they choose their names with the help of a diviner, then?

And... how do you go to Ponyville?

[He's not too curious -- for one thing, the idea of not having any hands is a frightening one -- but it's always better to know.

Besides, he wouldn't like to stumble accidentally over the threshold without knowing how to make it back.]

A valid idea for those in such a situation. When I find my own god walking among men, perhaps I should inquire if his preferred form of address is 'Heaven.' [He says this in a tone of dry amusement.]

I'm uncertain how ponies choose their names. You might ask Ms. Pie. I have yet to do so.

And you may note in any extended tour of Traverse Town several large, glowing portals. These will transport you to different worlds: Twilight Town, the Mother of Invention, and Ponyville.

Is that his name? [Oh, he knew he should have paid more attention to the foreigners' district in Edo... but he hadn't expected he'd ever need to know any of that.]

-- Aaah, I never wanted to travel, but I should have learned more about foreign lands! It's embarrassing.

[He laughs again, lightly, and shrugs.] But I can learn now, can't I? Are those portals marked at all, or will I have to guess?

It's said to be the place in which he resides, and our skies are so often called the heavens. Please do not trouble yourself with not knowing such things, sir. I cannot claim to be any manner of expert on Japan. It is most admirable that you should desire to learn, if nothing else. [Jeeves quirks his lips to offer some reassurance.]

The portals appear to work by intent. You need only think of the place to which you should like to travel, and they will take you there.

Twilight Town, Traverse Town, the Mother of Invention, Ponyville... [He repeats the names mostly to himself before meeting Jeeves' eyes again with a brighter smile.] I'll have to try it out, won't I?

-- But first of all, I think I should make myself that Spirit!

Exploration and travel are highly educational, Mr. Soujirou. Creating a spirit to accompany you would be a most wise first course of action should you wish to undertake them, though. The Moogles can instruct you on it. I will wish you luck, and look forward to meeting you in-person at some point in the future. These worlds are surprisingly small for all the richness of them.

One would think a world would be large... But thank you, Jeeves-san! I'll be sure to look for you. With so much to see, I'll certainly be traveling around!

That would tend to be the standard logic. I have found many of these places to defy expectations, though. Good day, sir.

[He offers another polite nod before ending the communication.]
