Okay, the tape recorder's running.  I'm going to give you a situation and I'd like you to tell me how you'd react with the first thing that comes to mind.

Okay.

There's a sudden flash of light and you find yourself in a library carved out of the inside of a huge tree.  A purple unicorn is looking at you in surprise.  Also, you've been turned into a pony.

Like the colored ones you showed me?

Right.  What do you look like?

You know that Pokémon Rapidash?  Like that, but black.

Your mane and tail are made of fire?

Right.  

What about the cutie mark?

More fire.

That sounds a little like a Mary Sue.

Oh crap, you're right.  Um, okay, my mane and tail are dark blue.

What kind of pony are you?

I'm a unicorn.  I like magic.

All right, so you're in the library.  The purple unicorn asks if you're all right.  She says she accidentally transported you there with a spell gone wrong.

That bitch better transport me right back.

There's some kind of problem, and she'll have to do research.  She says her name is Twilight Sparkle and invites you to stay for as long as you need to.  She asks your name.

Call me Fireball.  So, we're in a library.  What kind of books do they have?

A lot of things.

I want to check out the stories.  Maybe they have some good stuff.

Just then, five other ponies come in.  Here.

(examining picture) Well, they're certainly colorful.  Wait, how did this one get a hat?

The pony tells you that she inherited it.  She has an accent that sounds Southern, or perhaps Ozark-ish.

Boring.

You aren't taking this very seriously.

Well, regardless of whether I've actually been transported to a magical land of ponies or if I'm just having a weird dream, I don't think I would believe it.

Suppose something happens that causes you to be completely serious.

Like what?

(sigh) Twilight casts a spell of belief on you.  It's super effective.

Oh shit!  I'm a pony!

What do you do?

Dramatic faint!

You wake up a while later.  It's dark outside, and you're on Twilight's spare bed.

Rape check!

(sigh) Twilight asks how you're feeling.  She says that she'd been doing some research and has discovered a old story about mysterious visitors being transformed into ponies.

So I'm a fairy tale or something?

Twilight thinks it's worth investigating and asks if you'd like to help.

Yeah, sure.  I don't have anything else to do.

You'll need to go meet the Princess, who is older than any other pony and may know something about the situation.

Oh!  What does the Princess look like?

You'll find out soon enough.  Twilight starts working on a teleportation spell to take you both to the castle.

Oh, no, I don't want any more magic from her!

Twilight seems upset and promises to get the spell right.  This is one she's done before.

No means no.

"We'll just have to get the Princess to send a chariot for us, then," she says.  Shortly it shows up.  Burly pegasi wearing armor are pulling it.

Are they...cute?

You're hitting on the Royal Guards?  Seriously?

It's fantasy.  I can do whatever I want.

Twilight warns you to be on your best behavior around the Princess.  She once banished her own sister to the moon for a thousand years.

What did she do?

Turned evil, or something.  Anyway, you're introduced to Princess Celestia, the leader.  Somehow, you manage to keep your mouth to yourself and the Princess tells you and Twilight that you must go on a journey to find the truth about how you got there.

I can do that, I guess.

Good.  All right, thanks for this.
