So, from what I've been able to figure out, it looks like people arrive in this city pretty regularly -- once a week exactly.
We have to play along with this place's rules and fight each other or we'll be punished, we have to go to school or we'll be punished, and so forth.

Since I'm new here, naturally I'm rather out of the loop, so there's a lot I have yet to learn.
For now I'd like to get to know my fellow prisoners, if that's all right with you.
So if you don't mind, tell me -- What is your name, which school are you at, and where were you before you came here?

I'm Dirk, at Fortitude, and I'm from Houston. Pleasure to meet you all.

[EXTREME CLOSEUP OF PONY]

Your words are in orange! That's cool! My name is Bubblecup and I'm in the same school as you! I'm from Ponyville!

[ Omigod. Oh. Em. Gee.

He stares at the screen, dumbfounded, for a few moments before switching to video. ]

A pony from Ponyville? That strikes me as rather redundant.

[ omg omg omg omg omg ]

[bubblymuffins]

Re-what? [Headtilt]

[fracturedsoul]

...Repetitive.

[ Oh. Right. This is the stupid one... Why couldn't it be that spunky rainbow one?

But still.

omg ]

[bubblymuffins]

Is that anything like that other re- word the ponies at school called me? Because if it is you can go buck yourself.

[fracturedsoul]

No, it just means that it's an unimaginative name and I'm sure someone, somewhere, could have come up with something better.

[ Staaare. ]

People in this city really do come from all over.

[bubblymuffins]

[She seems to have gotten over that quickly, though!]

Good! I'm the only pony from Equestria though. Everypony else is walking around on two hooves. Isn't that strange?

[fracturedsoul]

Yeah, it's extremely strange. It's off the hook like a winter coat belonging to a lazy asshole how weird it is to walk around on two hooves like this.

[bubblymuffins]

Finally somepony understands! I think we'll be great friends, Dirk! [clop clop--Imean clap clap]

[fracturedsoul]

[ friends with dis pony omg also you were right the first time ]

Sure, looks like we'll get along.

...but isn't it kind of weird to say "somepony" when the person you're talking about isn't actually a pony?

[bubblymuffins]

I don't know. It's a habit. What do not-ponies say?

[fracturedsoul]

Someone or somebody. Same goes with "everypony", "anypony", et cetera.




I mean, I'm presuming you would use those.

[bubblymuffins]

I suppose I could try, but it kind of sounds funny.

[fracturedsoul]

You don't really have to -- It's just pretty strange, that's all.

[bubblymuffins]

Everypony has a body though, don't they? That makes sense.

[fracturedsoul]

[ yes say "everypony" some more ]

Right.

[bubblymuffins]

[That sounds dirty.]

Okay, I'll try to call everypony everybody instead. It's fun to try new things.

[fracturedsoul]

[ He's not into girls. ]

I'm sure you can do it. Just try your best.

[bubblymuffins]

[That changes nothing.]

Of course! Want to go get muffins together, new friend?

[fracturedsoul]

Hell fucking yes. Name the time and place, pegasister.

[bubblymuffins]

Great! [Laughs!] I like that word! Pegasister! [Jumps and her wings flap around uselessly.] There's a coffee shop in the town. Want to meet at the gate and walk over there together?
