001 ☾ Arrival ☾ [Video]

[royalwe]

[Good night! To greet this most wonderful night, all the viewers are being treated to a bit of a sight. A kind of purplish winged unicorn, with a flowing mane mimicking the night sky, and big green eyes is currently staring into the communicator with a mix of a serious and an annoyed expression.]

Is this strange contraption working now? [She nods, looking satisfied. Her horn glows and suddenly the communicator is moving, to show the image in a better angle. It’s quite clear it is floating.] Good. Let us begin then.

[The pony gives a step back, so her full body can be seen, and she clears her throat before speaking.]

GREETINGS, CITIZENS OF THIS NEW LAND.

[As she says this, there is a dramatic thunder booming, along with lightning and all the works, but hey I checked the weather and there was no thunderstorm scheduled. For the most observant ones, some leaves seem to be flying around as she speaks. Because she is that loud.

Luna stays silent for a moment before resuming her speech, as if waiting for everyone to turn their eyes to their devices. The tone is still very, very, veeery loud, but at least it's less loud than the last time as she does no longer need to catch everyone's attention.] WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ESTRANGEMENT FROM OUR HOMELAND. AS A PRINCESS OUR DUTIES ARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE, AND WE CANNOT ABANDON THEM ON A WHIM, SO WE MUST REQUEST OF THEE FOR US TO BE SENT BACK AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE, AS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

[She pauses here, looking a slight bit troubled. Such dramatics are a bit unbecoming in a situation like this, and made her look as if she had no control of the situation at all. So when she speaks again, she speaks in a normal tone.] For those of you who have been brought here in the same way as us, we must apologize for our outburst, however I hope you will understand that this situation is most troubling.

Our... My name is Luna. For those among you who can provide any information, I shall be most grateful.

[Crisis averted, kind of, Luna smiles as she shuts down the communication.]

Of course, you'll never know if you never ask. You may be able to locate 'the Guardian', but I personally don't believe he is the one responsible.

We were given a guide on this place just moments ago, so we know that at least for the time being, settling down is the best course of action.

I suppose there will be time for investigating at a later time.

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's plenty of time for investigation when you're stuck here.

[The 'wait, pony...' is hitting her now. WAIT, PONY.]

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

We can imagine there is. It is still important for us to be returned to our rightful place.

[PONY PONY PONY XD]

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

To be honest, many of us have tried to find a way out, and as you can see, it doesn't seem to have worked.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

That is most unfortunate. Dost thou knowest what is the longest time someone has been kept in here?

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

I couldn't say what the longest is or has been, but my own daughter has been here a year, and I know of several who have spent longer still.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

[Her first thought is "oh just a year" but she manages to not voice it XDDD]

Hopefully their time kept here will not go for much longer. Though I must admit I am surprised that they have taken members of the same family.

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

[Just a year to HER, geez...]

Yes, I was surprised too, but there seems to be quite a few who have family members or friends from their own worlds here.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

[What is this madness, where is a year considered a long time.]

I see. Perhaps these fae think that it would be more entertaining that way.

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

I wonder about that...it's true if anything were to happen to a friend or family member, that would be quite distressing for us, however, having them around day to day is more of a help than anything.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

If they are entertained by the people here, then they may want to have all kinds of variety.

[Let's not mention the whole theory about the fairies eating people's magic that was mentioned up there in the post. Yup.]

Of course it is nothing but a theory.

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

You may be right, even watching us lean on eachother may be a form of entertainment. From their perspective, I could see it confirming the impact they have.

Of course, this is all assuming the fae have anything to do with our capture.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

So dost thou believe that this could be another one's doing?

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

They certainly seem the most likely, but assumptions can be deadly, it's best to remember it's not a certainty. I doubt it is the fae in general, it makes more sense to be the Queen and those most close to her. But as far as I know, she has never admitted to it, though she has personally come into the village several times, sometimes to offer resources, sometimes in hindrance. If she was the 'culprit', would you not think she would be proud to say she is responsible? Regular fae may be more malevolent and mischevious, but they wouldn't have the power to summon people from another world.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

At the same time, it can also be wise to not to admit these things are their doing. It would lead exactly to this kind of thoughts. Maybe this Queen does not have interest in risking what she has achieved just to feed her own pride.

There are plenty of theories to be made, we cannot even assume that these can be called regular fae.

[queeningsquare.livejournal.com]

Exactly, it's best to air on the side of caution and embrace any possible theory.

[usesroyalwe.livejournal.com]

I agree. Closing your eyes to any of the possibilities could be truly dangerous in such a situation.
