What in tarnation is this!?

[The gear feed opens on the ground, half-obscured by grass. Not too far in the distance, a young, fair-skinned girl sits shakily on her knees, her face obscured by a ten-gallon hat and a large golden ponytail. Her knees are scuffed and her face is dirty, signs she just fell from her feet. However, rather than trying to get back up, she remains on her knees, staring at her hands in disbelief.]

I swear... [She pants.] I swear... if this is one of your tricks, Discord... [She tries to get back on her feet, but stumbles backwards. Her hat falls off her head, revealing her freckled face and shocking green eyes.]

You ain't gonna have any teeth when I'm through with you!!

[More like less than usual! She's already discovered that she can't eat nearly as many sweets as she's used to because it gives her a tummy ache.]

Oh, speaking of food! There's berries all over the place apparently, and they're only for pokémon! I heard they make humans get really sick.

[Oh great. Like she wasn't sure enough of what to eat to begin with, now we have poison pokemon berries.]

...Any way I can tell 'em apart?

I thiiiink they have funny patterns on them. They don't look like normal fruit! Some of them sort of do, but they're the wrong colour, or have dots or stripes or something!

[She nods a couple times.] I'll be sure to keep an eye out for 'em then.

Where are ya, anyway? Fluttershy said she was lookin' for ya.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty far away from Fluttershy! There's a map on your thingy, if you look at it, I'm in Mahogany Town!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Give her a second to look through the 'thingy'. Sure enough, there's Mahogany Town. And Goldenrod City, where Fluttershy is.]

You're both pretty far away. This is gonna make for one interestin' walk.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

And the worst part is I can't even go anywhere yet! All the wild pokémon around here are pretty strong, stronger than Colonel Custard is for sure.

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Then how're you supposed to get out if the Colonel is too weak? An' how'd ya get so far out there to begin with?

[That question makes Pinkie awfully fidgety!]

I just woke up here, like people wake up where you are, too! Except...

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Oh no, Pinkie. What did you do?]

'Cept... what, Pinkie?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Mahogany Town is... where Team Rocket starts, I think. They're the bad guys.

[So of course Pinkie feels really bad about starting here.]

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

The bad guys? What in tarnation are you doin' startin' there then?

[Her voice rises, but she's trying to suppress her anger in the situation. Whatever is going on, it isn't Pinkie's fault.]

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I even woke up with their uniform on! I don't get it, I'd be a terrible bad guy! I don't even have my evil laugh down!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[And now all she can imagine is Pinkie walking along the road practicing her evil laugh. As much as she wanted to remain firm, the thought forces her to crack a smile.]

...Good thing Fluttershy's comin' to keep an eye on you. Wouldn't want our little criminal gettin' into trouble.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Maybe I can figure out how to make evil cupcakes!

[Treading into dangerous fandom territory there, Pinkie.]

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An evil cupcake doesn't sound very tasty, sugarcube.

[One taste of their 'baked bads' was bad enough. Let's not do that again.]

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Of course not! That's the point! They'd be evil, so it'd be like a trick!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Just be careful who you hand 'em out to. Not everyone appreciates a Pinkie prank, y'know.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Aww, I know. This place is super different from Ponyville!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Too different, I reckon.

[Having difficulty adjusting, AJ?]

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Aw, it's not that bad though, even if it is different!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I'll adjust in time. Don't you worry. [She won't let you.]

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Great! It's actually kind of creepy how many things humans have that are exactly the same! And they kind of work better as a human, too!

[video]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Really...? Like what?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Cooking utensils, for one! It's so much easier using them with your hands! And they're exactly the same!
