|Poses=:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>The Warpgate HUB is a busy hustling place really, as not only people of the Multiverse are greeted here, but the people of this world come here now too. Not only to learn about the Multiverse outside, but these HUBs have become an easy way to move between locations!<br /><br />Though by the rules, this place is for civilian use only, in order to make sure this place stays neutral, beyond a few guards of either side that remain at their posts with some space between them to keep any fighting from breaking out--- but it can happen-- and its dealt with when it does.<br /><br />Thankfully, that has been rare, as people know better and waiting here in the HUB is a man with blue jeans, a nice shirt, and a pair of military boots on his feet. He is at the location he has told people to meet up with him if they like a free in into a theme park called Magic Express Mountain, along with some extra credits.<br /><br />Mind you, he is waiting past the gate, mostly to see who comes here opts in to the Bio-Signature scan and how many just avoid it or... already have scanned. Its mostly a note for him to know who he is going to need to waiver or not.<br /><br />After all, who in America Alliance is going to argue with Taylor Scott? Well, beyond the President that is.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Maxine certainly needed a break from work. She can't even remember the last time she took a vacation, it's certainly been years. She shouldn't cause any problems for the bio-signature scan but she was a bit concerned about Annie. From the reading she's done it seems to be fairly technologically advanced but her daughter's not from here. She knows Annie's excited about coming here, so she's willing to put up with a bit of minor difficulty.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie, by contrast, had been on plenty of trips recently, but was always up for more! And Taylor's invitation was so kind, she couldn't refuse- not that she'd ever refuse a trip to a theme park. She wondered what attractions she'd encounter here; this world was so new her internal internet connection hadn't been able to find a path to the park's website yet, if it even had one. From the looks of things, this was a relatively advanced world, with things like... a "bio-signature scan"? What would happen if she used that? Sometimes these things just worked themselves out.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Among the many people coming and going emerges a cute little pastel purple unicorn, no more than 5 feet tall even at the top of her head. It's Twilight Sparkle! She is smiling cheerfully as she emerges, with Staren no doubt nearby. She looks around at all the people. "This is rather different from the gates in Equestria." she comments before clopping off toward Taylor. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight notices Maxine and Annie, and raises a hoof to wave. "Hello Maxine! Hello Annie! How are you two?" Twilight has no problems with a bio-signature scan. She is biological, after all. "It has been a while since I left Equestria. It will be nice to see another world."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THrought he portal comes a young woman, wearing a bright red bolero jacket with a blue hood over a brown tank top and blue jeans, adjusting leather cuffs at her wrists and looking, in general, nervous. The cuffs at her wrist sport a waterdrop and a lick of fire on them, in corrosponding colors, and she shifts her ears about, catching a snipping of a familiar voice. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Huh... seems like a lot of people are up to visiting..." she ventures.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only a moment behind Yunomi, Rhapsody looks a little nervous. Why? Well, it is the first time she's left Nivix in a couple of weeks. Ever since the intruder issue in the Dragonsforge, security has been, in a word, insane. After a bit of convincing, and probably harassing, the young guildmaster has finally left (forced?) into being a little more social with the outside world! Yay, right? She doesn't respond to Yunomi's comment, though it does prompt her to look at everyone that's shown up.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren's a bit uneasy at being scanned, but feels a bit better with the clarification that Big Brother isn't actively tracking his every step.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Besides, a visit to a new world with interesting machines and technological development, and Twilight's available that day too? This is looking to be a pretty good day already!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Hi guys!" Staren waves to those assembled. "I imagine the difference is that Equestria seems... less interested in other worlds. And maybe they didn't have the power available to set up hubs like this for traveling around Equestria -- They have nuclear reactors here, and how many unicorns would have to stand by channeling to keep it open all the time?"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren tilts his head and stares off into space. "Actually... I've heard of converting nuclear power sources to magic, let's see how hard they are to keep running..." He pulls a tablet from his pocket and starts looking something up on it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah comes through the portal looking a little uncomfortable. She's not good in crowds, and the bio-scanner gives her pause, "What's this for? They didn't have these at Disney World..." Nevertheless she submits to the scan, curious to see if it'll have a reaction to her part-alien DNA. Probably not, this is the multiverse after all.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Annie's the only one here she recognizes, she waves at the girl when she spots her and starts making her way through the crowd towards her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie waved back to Twilight with her usual cheerfulness. "Hi Miss Twilight! It's great to see you again." Equestria was one of her favorite places, and she always liked to see her friends from there. She also waves toward Sarah, who seems to be heading her way.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>When the two Sandbergs show up and their name is scanned in, Taylor can see that come up on the board when they go in the scans. Annie will find that its somehow remarkably easy and nothing goes wrong! Like with her mom, they are told to step in the center of the square a few beams of light go around them and then a soft woman's voice says, "Proceed". They are then given a pamphlet with some information on American Alliance, since that is where they are going and a credit chip.<br /><br />Including a very warm smile from the woman there at the counter who greets them pleasantly. Everyone, will get the same service as they do. Taylor though gives them a wave of his hand as they come through, "Hey there Annie." He says with a smile, they probably recognize his voice. He isn't that old at all, maybe mid to late twenties, with crew cut dirty blonde hair and teal blue eyes. "And also Miss Sandberg, welcome to the HUB! Built pretty quickly and a few more going up at different Warpgate locations."<br /><br />He then looks to Annie with a grin, "Looking forward to some fun rides?" He says with a friendly wink to the kid.<br /><br />As others show up, Taylor gives them a wave as well, seeming amused as he spots the Pony and a raise of an eye brow. She does get some attention as well, as some are not sure what to make of her, others are kind of fascinated. Yeah-- this version of Earth is young to the Multiverse, only maybe a week or two now. They are still getting use to things!<br /><br />"Yunomi!" Taylor says out to her with his hands out wide, "Good to see you here in the land of tech, instead of that of fantasy science." It is said with an amusing tone in his voice and good cheer at it too. He then gives a nod to Rhapsody who follows right behind her.<br /><br />"Welcome one and welcome all! We are going to be going to Magic Express Mountain, an awesome theme park with water rides, rollercoasters, and even stuff you expect to see at a carnival." Taylor explains with a grin, "They are mostly known for their Rollercoasters and they have this amazing wooden one known as the Old Monster. It's pretty amazing, the steel ones don't have that sound to them like the old wood ones."<br /><br />Taylor rubs his hands together before he walks them over to what looks like almost a bullet train, only it seems to be floating on the rails almost. As he walks up to it the door slides open, before he motions his hand for everyone to enter. "Please step on board and we will start making our way there." Once they do, he hops on himself and the train starts to move. It actually seems to just glide effortlessly on the rails and quickly accelerates at a rapid speed, even though it doesn't feel like it at all.<br /><br />Taylor looks over to Staren once they do get on, who is comfortable to just stand there leaning against the wall of the 'train', there are some really nice seats. They are all leather and pretty comfy. "Nuclear? Ha. No. We got rid of Nuclear reaction some time ago. Probably like... in the sixties? Seventies? Somewhere in there." His eyes look over to Sarah Rogers, "The scan is just for the way that DOVE knows where we are when we board things like this," he taps his knuckles on it. "Enter the rides, makes purchases, etc. It helps notify us if something weird is going on."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Taylor!" Yunomi calls out, and immediately brightens. HEr ears prick forward, glad to know that she's at least passingly familiar with everyone here... though at poor Twilight Sparkle, Yunomi has the sudden urge for ice cream. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She joins up with the group proper, keeping a wry eye out for any danger to the guildmaster... but at least Yunomi, with her tail and ears isn't the weirdest thing in the room. There's a dragon guildmaster and a talking magical pony. Life is strange! <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"See, Rhaps, that's a guy who got himself lost in our-- wait -- IZZET TECH IS STILL TECH!" she calls out. "It's just not techy-tech-tech for you technos! But it's still the bleeding edge of magical technology!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren's ears flick and he looks up from his tablet at Taylor. "You found something better than fusion? Is the same process used in your Cores? I'd love to know more about that later..." Distracted as he is by the tablet, he didn't even notice the train is maglev. "Ah, here we go. Looks like there's sort of a size issue with the magitech on my world -- something compact enough to fit in a power armor or small robot can be twice as expensive as nuclear, but there's a larger generator design for buildings and small towns that uses magically-generated lightning... So maybe a similar system could be used for an Equestrian gate travel system, if you had a powerful unicorn like yourself come around once a month or so and charge it up?" Staren scratches his head. "I wonder if someone stands to make a lot of money from this..." He shrugs and pockets the tablet.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"A wooden coaster, huh? I kind of like the lack of loop-de-loops and corkscrews... maneuvers like that are cool when you're piloting, but being pulled along on them... eh."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After her arrival, and taking a look around, Rhapsody submits to the scan. Considering she'a s dragon, they should get a rather interesting signature from her. With that done, she's happy to move right along with Yunomi. A nod and a wave is given to Taylor, and a wave in response would be given to anyone that greets her. Still, though, Rhapsody's pretty quiet. It's not for a lack of wanting to socialize, though. Given a little time at the park, she'll probably start tearing down the wall she's built up in a the last week or so.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When Yunomi mentions Taylor was someone that wandered in, and got lost somewhere in Ravnica, she at least cracks a small smile. "It's not a small city, Mr. Taylor, is it?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Maxine adjusts her glasses a bit as she looks to see who else is present. It looks they have quite a turn-out. "Hello Twilight, I'm doing fine. I guess I should get out of the lab more often. There's quite a few people I don't recognize." She's a bit curious to how well the unicorn is going to fit on some of the rides. She does know Staren but he seems to be already in the middle of a conversation.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie grins, giving a thumbs-up to Taylor as he asks about the rides. She was glad the scanner didn't have any issues with androids- maybe the definition of life was expanding, at least in this world. If only more people could be as open-minded as these machines, she thought. Taylor's explanation was exciting, but Annie wondered if there might be some different kinds of rides there that she hadn't been on before. If you're going to a new world, you should see what's new! She followed her mother and the rest of the group onto the train.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Taylor continues to lean where he is, seeming pretty comfortable that nothing is going to happen with this train as it rolls on who knows how fast. The world is moving by in a blur of speed, but it seems to be staying pretty much underground. He can only smirk as Staren seems to be a real tech geek type and he looks over to Yunomi giving her a chuckle, before looking to Rhapsody, "Yeah, I will say there is nothing small about it. Its a beautiful place though, I mean to me it is... I get tired of staring at my own home really."<br /><br />Soon the 'train' breaks out from underground and the wide open city can be seen. In the distance a holographic sign that says "Hollywood" can be seen way off in the distance, by map geography then, they are in California and somewhere probably near LA. The train was also slowing down as it made surface and the city is vast with building reaching up high to the sky, the glass shimmering in the sun light. Down below are wide streets where cars can be seen going and coming, seeming to be hovering just as the train does slightly above the road.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Well thank you for that. It is my home, after all, though so is the multiverse in it's own way. You'll have to come back another time as I'm sure you didn't see all of it in just one trip. It may be hard to believe, but my father told me Ravnica was originally much, much larger. Only a 'small' portion of it actually unified." Scary thought, isn't it?<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the train surfaces and the city beyond comes into view, it draws the eyes of the Guildmaster, even causing a little 'ooh' to slip from her, "Now that is a city.."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel has scooted on the tram andf seems to be pretty chipper, that disc is on her back, yes it's a weapon but it's also part of her mind. Good luck /getting/ that from her. She'll have it locked down sure but not removed either way she's humming some of the Twins music which others might confuse for a terran band called DAFT punk. She does come up on the party now. <br /><br /> "Greetings lifeforms. Yes this is a city it almost reminds me of my home, well save for the fact there's a sun...and plant life."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"... that is a city." Yunomi adds quietly, leaning against the windows of the tram. She purses her lips, and she glances between RHapsody and Taylor, Deleel, the Sandbergs, Twilight and Staren, and she exhales, rubbing the back of her head. "Man, sometimes these places make me remember what a bumpkin I am." she quietly remarks to no one except herself.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah offers a hand to Maxine as she boards the tram. "Hi! You must be Annie's Mom. We spoke a couple times over the union comms about helping my 'Brother' get over his fear of AI's." As she talks she's trying very hard not to stare at Twilight Sparkle. "He's gotten more reclusive lately though, I'm worried about him." She settles down as starts to take in the view as the train leaves the underground.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The tanuki's response promps a friendly ribbing with one of Rhapsody's elbows, "Doesn't matter where your from, Yunomi. We're all from the multiverse now, you know?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight Sparkle considers Staren's suggestions, then shakes her head. "I do not think there is enough of a need for us to set up such systems in Equestria. It is usually only a short train ride to wherever we wish to go. But, we could work on such a system for if the need ever arises." she says. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight is pretty used to attention by now, but she will probably never outgrow the bit of embarrassment that such attention causes her. She is tolerant of stares and pictures and whatnot. It is only if someone is rude that she makes an issue of it. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once they are aboard the train, Twilight has a bit of a reprieve from the attention, which she gladly enjoys. She offers a friendly greeting to Yunomi and Rhapsody.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"I'll be more then glad to see most of it, Rhapsody right?" Yeah, Taylor saw her name come up, he looks over to the Deelel, "Oh? Sweet! Though lack of sun... industry keep it blocked out or... something else?"<br /><br />For the most part he listens to everyone and chuckles to Yunomi, "Well, I'm from Texas, my mom was from Oklahoma... and while I may been raised a rich boy, I'd rather been a country bumpkin honestly." He muses. "...sadly in the world of technology like this... cowboys are slowly becoming an extinct breed."<br /><br />Taylor looks over to Twilight Sparkle about then, "So, if you don't mind me asking... where are you from?"<br /><br />Those with keen ears and sight, may notice the train is slowing down and is also starting to descend. Its a very soft whirling sound that the engine makes, but it can't even be felt at all. Dead ahead, Annie and others may see a few tall metal coasters with loops in them and a few rides that shoot straight up, before seeming to bank almost 90 degrees back down.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren hmms, "I guess Equestria /is/ kind of a small country. I really need to see more of it sometime..."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To Rhapsody's comment, he adds, "Yeah. We're all in the Multiverse now. It's not where you're from, it's what you do."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And then he looks out the window. "Does this city go on to cover the whole landmass?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie looks out at the city with wonder. "Oh, hey! It's Hollywood over there! But with a fancy hologram sign!" They didn't have a hologram sign in her world, at least not yet. "What kind of movies are they making? They must be fun!" She looks a bit concerned at Sarah's mentions of James' problems, but leaves it to Maxine to deal with them, instead looking back toward the approaching park.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Maxine shakes Sarah's hand, "Yes, I'm Maxine Sandberg, it's a pleasure to meet you as well. Did AIs cause more trouble on your world recently?" She wonder why James would be more bothered. "I'll try to speak with him when I have a chance." It seems like she manages to stay busy even on vacation. She smiles upon seeing Deelel join them. The music does sound familiar, maybe she heard it somewhere when she was younger. "I haven't seen much of Equestria myself." Maybe she should drop by again sometime.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"That's right. Um. Somewhat important in Ravnica, but I'd rather not go into all of that right now. Today is about relaxing, not about work.." she notes. She doesn't want to publically announce who she is at this time for Reasons. A nod is given to Staren's comment to her own, but it's at about this time that she notices their destination ahead, "Oh wow, look at all that.." It's very possible that Rhapsody is about to discover she is a roller coaster enthusiast but never knew it. Heaven help the Izzet League if a new form of transportation is invented after today..<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Taylor respond to Staren easily, "American Alliance goes from all of North America, Central, to Southern. We also have Australia and Isreal with us as well and I believe, Africa." He glances up at that last one, seeming just a smidge unsure. "Most cities are like this one, where we its pretty big, but there is also parks and preserved forests, so wildlife can continue to prosper." He frown a bit. "...we lost allot of different species of animals over the war."<br /><br />Taylor then looks over to Annie with a grin. "All kinds of movies, Annie, all kinds. Maybe I'll see about hooking up a tour there some day." This is followed by a gentle shrug. Is there no place this guy can't get into?<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren's ears turn towards Taylor as he looks out the window. "Hey, on the bright side, now you'll be able to repopulate with animals from the Multiverse, if you want!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"True." Taylor says in agreement to Staren. "Its a thought."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel says "We never had one, our world was made without one actually. The Creator didn't seem to think we need one and we get by well enough without it. There's also only my people and one other race. We don't have what you'd consider plant or animal life. Most of us would consider animal and plant life to be pointless and a waste. Well the ones in charge now anyway. Still this is a amazing city your people ahve built. I am curious to explore it."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight looks over as Taylor speaks to her, then smiles. "The magical land of Equestria! The cities there are populates by ponies like me. Humans are unheard of, and even humanoid creatures are very rare. We were as surprised to see a human as a human was to see us!" She giggles a bit at that, then looks out the window as Annie points out the sign. "Worlds where such technology as holographic image generation is so commonplace as to be used for signs always make me realize how far behind Equestria is in terms of technology. I am not sure if it is good or bad that our world has yet to develop such things, but I suspect it is a sign that our society has not needed such technologies for anything." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight then looks over toward the others. She is unsure of where to interject in their conversation, so she just listens for now and joins Rhapsody in marveling at the roller coasters coming into view. "We are going to ride one of those?" the little pony asks, wide-eyed. "I have seen such contraptions around, but I have yet to ride on one."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah nods to Maxine, "James' world was nearly destroyed by an AI designed to keep the peace, It ended up deciding the best way to do it was to kill off all the humans." She gives Annie an apologetic glance as she explains. "Ironically, on my world that same AI ended up a lobotomized servant because of all the trouble it caused."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She looks curiously at Twilight, "It sounds like technology simply doesn't belong on your world if you don't mind me saying. Having a rich and unique culture's more important in my opinion. It doesn't matter how you get there."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>The young man listens to Twilight's explanation and gives a nod, "Yeah... we are still getting use to the odd races. I imagine probably in a few more weeks, people will get more and more use to it around here. I would like to see your world some day, be nice to visit some other places."<br /><br />Taylor then watches those get all excited about the rollercoasters and he can't help but get a boyish grin on his face. "Your going to be in one heck of a ride then. Thrills and spills, as the old saying goes." The train does at last come to a stop, as Taylor looks over to Deelel, "...and your creator was a goof ball if you ask me, nothing personal, but I have hard time dealing with a place with no sun, but... like with this Equastria. I'd be up for seeing it." He looks to Twilight again, "It IS Equastria right?"<br /><br />The doors open and all are welcome to exit, the steps move as soon as someone goes to touch them, lift them up to the upper level and Taylor steps out into the sun light with his arms out wide, before turning on his heels to everyone, "Welcome to my favorite theme park in all of American Alliance!" Just as he says that as coaster goes rolling right over head in a cork screw, before heading up for a hill.<br /><br />He then walks over to the main gate and takes out a different colored chip then what everyone else was given before placing it in the terminal. A holographic screen comes up, and he does some number entering, including punching in a few codes.<br /><br />A voice then comes from the terminal. "Hello, mister Scott. All guest have been credited 500 extra credits by request and will be given them upon entry. Have a wonderful day." Taylor then pulls out the chip, before he motions to the opening gate doors. "Step right on in!"<br /><br />The place looked like typical theme parks really, but the rides ran on the Mag-Grav technology, a few had wheels, but only a few. There was all types of food stands, mini-games, and even things like the "Magic Carpet" type rides or the ones that spin you around and stick you to the wall.<br /><br />There was even a ride where you get lifted up in near like zero-g!<br /><br />The Water rides were of different flavors and you could easily rent a bathing suit!<br /><br />There was much to do here and all kinds of rides galore.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"While technologies are invented by need, I think a normal sign would have worked just fine there." Staren turns to Twilight. "On the other hand, you have /weather control/ and magic can do a lot of things. Who needs medical nanomachines or the wide variety of non-magical treatments humans have developed, when someone can cast a healing spell? There'd be uses, sure, but... not enough to justify investing in a speedy level of technological development. If you need to get something somewhere in a /real/ hurry, you could have pegasi take it, and I suppose if it was /really/ urgent, a unicorn could teleport it! Or if it's a message, you could send it by dragonfire. Do pony scientists know how that works? Is there a unicorn spell that replicates that effect?" He scratches his chin. "Man... I feel like I've been to Equestria way too often to not know this stuff, but I mostly only visit you..."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren looks at Sarah, "Hey, technology can be part of culture! What about, like, movies and videogames? You can't have works of art like that without technology!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh they're here! Staren looks around, and gives the terminal a friendly nod if he can see a camera, and his eyes widen a bit as he takes the park in. "Okay, I've never been to an amusement park in a world like this. Are there any cool new rides your technology enables?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight nods as Sarah speaks up about her world. "Perhaps you are right. We have what I think qualifies as an advanced society without any of the advanced technologies displayed by other worlds." she says, then headtilts before holding out a hoof. "I do not believe we have met. I am Twilight Sparkle." she says, smiling cheerfully. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When they arrive at the park, Twilight clops leisurely out of the train and looks around. It is rather spectacular. They have fairs and such in Equestria, but nothing this grandios! She giggles a bit as Staren ponders the magic vs technology issue in Equestria, then again as he argues for its validity in culture. "She didn't say it couldn't be, Staren. Just that it did not have to be." she says, then gives Staren an affectionate nuzzle on his cheek. She then heads on inside the park. "I do hope they have some vegitarian items. It would be a shame to be unable to sample the local fare." she says, once her chip is loaded with the gift of 500 credits. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "It is indeed," Twilight says to Taylor in answer. "And we are always..." She pauses, then sighs at a few past instances. "Well...usually happy to have visitors. The residents of Ponyville are especially accomidating after being in the Multiverse a while."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie wondered a bit about Sarah's story. If her job was to keep the peace, there was no way she'd consider killing people to be part of that job. That's the exact opposite of peace by any measure she could think of. The programmer must not have been very good, Annie thought, though she didn't say so. As they emerge into the park, she switches right into excitement mode, leaving thoughtfulness behind as she gets caught up in the rush of the park. She grabs onto Maxine's hand and starts looking around for where she should go first. Finding a map would probably be the best place to start.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel says "I thought the sun was a explosion and I was about to die the first time I saw it. Then I found out it /was/ a series of explosiions constantly going off." <br /><br /> She makes a silly face at Scott for a moment. She follows the others off the thing to the to the park. She looks to Staren for a moment shurgging a bit at him. <br /><br /> "I have seen worlds were magic can not fix all or the immune system might become unable to function with constant magical healing." <br /><br /> Shrugs for a moment abnd says nothing else to staren for now on it as she goes to check out the park. She's got a look on her face like a little kid though. <br /><br /> "Never enderismate how far a User err human will go to be enterained." <br /><br /> She's also taking a look Sarah with more than a bit of intrest. <br /><br /> "Humm it seems he'd hate me and my people then. You could consider us AI's but not intional ones."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;500 Credits? Er.. "Aw, you didn't have to spot me any funds, Mr. Taylor. The Izzet, well, utilities for Ravnica. All of them." Considering the size and scope of the City of Guilds, one could imagine that a utility company for all of that would make a killing. Especially as a monopoly! Thankfully they aren't in the business of price-gouging their customers.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the park on display before them, Rhapsody seems at a bit of a loss. When there is so much to do, it is always hard to decide what to do first! She doesn't seem as interested in the water rides, but the -coasters-, now that is something that could get the heart racing. "Pick one of those for me!" she asks, pointing at the coasters rushing all around. The question isn't directed at anyone in particular, so anyone could even answer!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"I see, I guess it was only programmed with basic logic. Though a machine is incapable of ill-will on it's own." It does make sense to Maxine in a basic sort of way. Not that she would program an AI with that sort of capability, but it wasn't a program's fault for doing what it waas created to do. She takes Annie's hand and takes a look at the pamphlet she was given to see if it contains any kind of map. "Well, technology is a part of culture in a lot of civilizations." It's pretty hard to avoid it complete after all.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi wouldn't have allowed the injustice of price gauging! <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I don't beleive I've spent any real length of time in Equestria." Yunomi comes back, walking back to the group as she pursed her lips, and looked up over the coasters, and then as Rhapsody gets interested in them, she points, and nearly gets knocked to her tail after narrowly avoiding a flying elbow from the eagerly pointing guildmaster. Her goggles hang in the air for a split second, and then fall. And she gives a rare smile up to the dragon. "Relax, relax Guildmaster! There's time to try all sorts of rides!" she chides quietly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah takes Twilight's hoof carefully, like she's handling a ming vase, and does the best approximation of shaking hands as she can manage. "Sarah Rogers. You're the first Unicorn I've ever met!" She replies with a slight flush to her cheeks.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She turns to smirk at Staren, "Okay yes, technology *can* be part of a culture, if it's used constructively. It can also make things too easy and you end up with a bunch of crap video games that you have to dig through to find the real gems!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Personally, I don't think that Ultron, the AI in question, was ever really a sentient one." She explains to Maxine and Deelel. "But then I'm biased by the version I've met, who'd been reprogrammed to be subserviant." She grins as Maxine gets dragged off by Annie and starts to pry herself off the train.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Taylor watches everyone wonder about and look about at all the things, he looks over to Sarah at last, feeling as if he may have ignored the young woman. Mostly when she speaks up on AIs, it gets his attention. "Your brother may be a bit weirded out here then. The D.S.N. or D.N.S., however you wanna say it, is a massive three quantum computer AI... then we have super computer AIs that oversee other things, and then most of the Armored Cores have AIs in them as well."<br /><br />"Artificial Intelligence is pretty much a normal staple here, but they are very limited in what they can do." Taylor continues to explain as he walks with the group. He looks over to Twilight, "They do have some vegetarian dishes, including stuff that 'tastes' like meat, but isn't... if your into that kinda thing."<br /><br />His attention goes over to Rhapsody then before he chuckles. "Look, its my treat, alright. You can return the favor later." He gives her a wink. "Besides-- this isn't nothing but a few dimes to me." He says with a mild hand wave. Taylor then looks over to Maxine, "Huh... you do AI programming and robotics?" He tilts his head gently. "Though I can not agree more, most robotics and computers are harmless, so long as they are programmed to be."<br /><br />"Its when you forget to give them the proper safeties..." Taylor sounds like he may know something about this from personal experience by how he looks away. Though this brings his attention back over to Staren. "Mag Grav, mostly. The physics stay the same, because that is what people like. I actually don't /own/ this park.. well... sorta. We control the firm, but not the park, if that makes any sense." H shrugs gently. "But most rides run on Mag Grav, with some chains still around, and like I said... the woodie."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A little 'eek' actually slips out of Rhapsody when Yunomi nearly gets a face full of elbow. "Ah, sorry.." she says before offering a hand up to Yunomi. "I just don't know where to start!" she calls, enthusiasm returning. "Did one stand out to you?" then to everyone else, "This place looks wonderful! It's just figuring out where to start that's the problem!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi shakes her head, and gives a shrug. "Go counter-clockwise." she advises. "MOst people are right handed and go for the right-hand sides first. And we can always come back; I'm sure Mr. Scott wouldn't mind a second visit from the Izzet League." the tanuki replies. "And maybe next time we'll bring your siblings... if there's anyone that makes it harder to leave Nivix than you, it's your brother." she offers as a joke.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight smiles as she shakes Sarah's hand, and Sarah may be surprised to feel some grip in the unicorn's forehoof. "I am honored to be your first!" she says as she gives a spirited hand/hoof shake. "And please, do not be shy. I do not mind answering questions about Equestria, nor do I mind making new friends." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yunomi and Rhapsody make Twilight giggle a bit with their exchanges, then she smiles to Rhapsody. "Do not worry about it. Getting started is usually the hardest part of any undertaking." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When she hears Taylor mention meat-flavored veggies, Twilight makes a 'do not like!' face. "Why would you flavor a vegetable like meat?" she asks, truly baffled until she considers it a moment. "Oh...I suppose it makes sense for people that are not vegitarian." She still shivers a bit at the prospect of meat-flavored veggies.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie stands on her toes, trying to get a look at the map in the pamphlet. "So where should we go, Mommy? There's a lot to do! I guess with that Mag-Grav stuff things will be a lot different from other places!" The roller coasters definitely look a lot more complicated than they would normally be.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOGIC. Sound logic, too. "Counter-Clockwise it is!" Rhapsody decides before looking to the first thrill in that direction. She blinks, starts counting, then stops after a moment. "Eh heh. That one looks intense," she muses with some hesitation. She does, however, give a laugh about Ryxinel. "Yes, well, he has a lot of repairs to do, but I'll get him out here. I hope Sidonia isn't following me in her normal way... I don't want security here getting upset."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dadler would be /so proud/. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Either that or I'm actually Sidonia thanks to Yunomi's transformation techniques and I've been following in plain sight the entire time." Yunomi replies with another grin. "But let's face it, I'm not /that/ obvious." she states, whistling, and gives a glance to Taylor, offering him a kind smilem. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"So, separate, stay with the main group and--" she pauses, and sniffs the air. "Somewhere, there's a place selling french fries."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:834|Valentha Summers (834)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And then... there was a Valentha. Right behind Taylor in fact! Both hands on his shoulders. "BOO!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Absolutely no warning whatsoever.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And grinning ear to ear.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If anyone -was- looking at the right location, well, she simply -APPEARED- there out of nowhere...<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:838|Taylor Scott (838)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>There are coasters to the left, coasters to the right. All types of choices, for all types of people. Even some really crazy ones where the coast isn't sure if its inverted or normal! Including ones where the chairs actually 'roll' on the ride as it goes through the motions to add another level of extreme.<br /><br />Those who were a bit short, would get slightly overlooked, unless there was concern on the G-forces, as some rides got pretty intense in that and someone like Twilight would have no problem, as they could adjust the seat harness type, given some people felt more safe in some types then others, so they could make it work!<br /><br />Taylor can only chuckle at Twilight's protest and smirk faintly as he explains, "Some people go vegetarian later in their life, so they are still looking for that flavor." He lets everyone go their way, as he goes to setup some things away from the main group.<br /><br />One of those making sure they have high priority onto those rides and another is seeing to giving them a discounts on whatever vendor they go to for food. Though he himself doesn't seem to be partaking in the rides, cause while dealing with making sure his guests are taken care of-- he also has to deal with a damn phone call that Carol refuses to let him ignore.<br /><br />Or he would be taking only Val has the most excellent of timing as he was getting ready to. "Shit!" he barks out, fumbling then phone in his hands before he gives Val a look. He stares at her, before he blinks, then smiles. "Hey Val!" That smile stays on his face. "Surprised to see you here."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>A long blank look is given to Yunomi. Loooooooong. Bllaaaaank-Snrk, no, she just cracks up, not able to fake being that stern that long over nothing at all. "Heh, well-" And then VAL APPEARS. "... Yeah, Sidonia's probably here if that just happened," she muses, but no enthusiasm is lost. "TO THE RIDE!" where there will be loops upon loops galore. oh dear lord don't eat first. ... oh hey there's that fry booth right next to the ride!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi gives a wry grin. "Yeah, Sidonia is definately lurking in the dark to save our buttsw.

I have no idea /what/ will come up out of you!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Probably a lot of raw energy!" Considering her breath weapon, this sounds about accurate! Thanks to Taylor's work, Rhapsody will probably be on and off of that insane amount of loops and twilrs in a few moments. Lets see how she fares once she comes back.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Or /dragonpuke/! That'll be impossible to get out of the pavement, you know!" Yunomi calls back, racing the dragon to get a seat close to her!<br> <br>

She's still looking his way when Valentha appears, and while she's suprised for just a moment, the look quickly changes to one of annoyance. Sarah could have have flown along side the train or lifted up a mech had she wanted to show off, but she prefers to blend in, especially on a new world.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She returns her attention to Twilight, "Having never been there, I have no idea what to ask yet, but I'm curious if you're going to be going on any rides and how they intend to accomadate you."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:834|Valentha Summers (834)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valentha gives the others a little wave, then claps Taylor lightly on the shoulder before releasing him.

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"As he says. We /like/ the flavor, meat tastes good to our bodies, just like grass /doesn't/.

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once she has a bit more of her balance back, Rhapsody looks at the next coaster, beams a smile at everyone, then darts off toward it. Food may be acquired along the way! "I WANT THESE BACK HOME!" The Izzet will never be the same.. <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I believe they are." Twilight says when Staren asks about funnel cakes. She giggles as she is offered a purple cotton candy. "Yes please! And, in honor of Pinkie Pie, I must also have a pink one." she says, smiling happily. Once they have their cotton candy, it is back on the trail to the wooden coaster!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"The goblins are /not/ allowed to design it." Yunomi quips, and she siddles into the seat, and she leans back in it, testing. She then taps against the plastic, taps against the seat, tests the pull on the bar and the seatstrap before she appears settled with it... and then she looks up to Annie and Rhapsody. "It's safe!" she pronounces, quite securely, and then she gives a grin. "After this, we totally need to do two spinny rides and then get ridiculously colored souvenier teeshirts." she states, and pulls the harness down.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Shirts! Food! Souveniers for all!" Rhapsody exclaims as she buckles in for the ride. No floor? No issue! With the first coaster having busted the ice, seems like the Izzet Guildmaster is ready and 'raring' to go. "WOO!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I thought I saw a fun shirt somewhere," Annie pointed out with a grin toward Yunomi as she suggested it. "I want to go on one of those simulator rides though," she added, looking in the direction of those rides as she sits in the seat.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"I think I'll wait until after we get done with the rides to eat." The last thing Maxine needs to do right now is throw up. She makes sure she's strapped in extra tight before getting on the next roller coaster. Going flying off would be quite unpleasant for her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight's cotton candy hovers about her thanks to the soft purple glow from her horn. It seems to just move about randomly unless she brings it in for a bite.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Easy there, boss." Yunomi replies with a small laugh, and she gives Rhaps one of those smiles, reaches over to make sure she's secured in tightly, and she readies to take off. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When they do, Yunomi gives a whoop, releasing a bunch of pent up sorrows, and giving them out to the sky!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:834|Valentha Summers (834)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Val has gone off on her own for a bit.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But she can be heard having QUITE a bit of fun on a coaster around the corner that just went whizzing past in a corkscrew!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah's stick of cotton candy is gone by the time they reach the Coaster, though she watches how Twilight 'handles' hers with fascination, "I'm assuming not everyone from your world is a Unicorn from what I've head.. how do the non-magical ponies manage? Your hooves were more flexible than they looked but it must still be an inconvenience?" She pauses as they reach Old Monster. Someout the thing is more intimidating that the modern coasters. Sarah can fly of course, but wouldn't that be cheating in this case?<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren eats his as they walk, letting Twilight explain about how ponies manipulate objects. He's kind of curious how they're going to handle getting her into the roller coaster safety seats.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie is positively squealing from the intensity, to the point where her voice crackles a bit. Her voice box wasn't exactly designed for *that* much enthusiasm!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight blinks at the question, then smiles. "Well, for non-unicorns, it is a combination of hooves and mouths. Pegasi and Earth ponies use both. The mouth is usually used for tasks that require fine motor skills, since the tongue can assist in manipulation if needed. The hooves are best for lifting heavier objects or using large tools such as rakes or shovels. Pegasi can also use their wings to some degree, but only really for holding easy to grip objects." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As for the coaster, once they reach it, Twilight just barely makes the height limit when she stands on two legs. She goes to take a seat in one of the cars, and when the bar comes down she just holds her forelegs up until the bar is snug over her chest. Then, she just drapes her forelegs over the safety bar. "My first roller coaster! This will be so exciting!!" she says happily.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel has been enjoying herself all this time she gets her self in place. She's ready for another she beside the guild master laughing. <br /><br /> "I heard some places have coasters inspired by dragons, Rhapsody!" <br /><br /> She's honesly having fun the talk of clothing gets a look. <br /><br /> "It's a shame something like this couldn't be done on my world!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And there you have it! Ponies on roller coasters. Staren sits next to her, smiling to see her so excited and then looking forward, eager to experience the ride himself.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another ride down! Another unsteady walk down the entrance ramp. "Woooaaaaa... that one was -craaaazy-," muses the Guildmaster, glancing back at the others as she wanders. She considers, then realizes, "Well, Annie, it's your turn! You mentioned a different sort of thing to do, right? You can lead us along to it if you want."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah's rather impressed at how easily Twilight manages to fit in the car. "That's got be to an amazing world you come from!" Sarah muses, then sits down next to Staren and pulls her saftey bar down. A moment later the cars lurch forward and start climbing up the first hill with a loud clink-clank-clink as the chain pulls it up. The entire coaster groans and creaks. sounding as if it could collapse at any moment!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Yes, maybe a break from the rollercoasters might not be a bad idea." Maxine could clearly use one, looking a bit worn out from all the excitement.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is surprising, but someone Twilight Sparkle fits quite nicely into a seat designed for a human. She even looks kind of cute with her forelegs draped over the safety bar. "Oh, it is! Equestria is apparently a rather unusual place in the multiverse, and not simply because of its residents. It-" <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight's building monologue is cut short as the coaster train lurches forward, causing her to yelp and cling to her safety bar a moment before she giggles. Then, they start climbing. Twilight Sparkle isn't really afraid of heights. She rides in a hot air balloon much of the time. What starts to get to her is the fact that she knows nothing about this coaster, and it feels like it is being held together by rubber bands! <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight is looking a bit nervous as they near the top.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie nodded approvingly as Rhapsody sent it over to her. She'd needed to make some adjustments too after such a shakeup to her directional sensors, but it didn't take too long. "Okay. I was thinking about the simulators but... Maybe we should try something more relaxing," she added. "Let's see..." She took another look at the map.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi glances over to Maxine, and gives a rub of her neck. "Ah... maybe a break for some food?" She questions, and she points to a fry stand. "I'll buy french fried potatoes for the whole group, c'mon!" she states, motioning over to a nice, calm place with plenty of places to sit down.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They'll be fine! Staren has magic and Twilight has technology. Err... the other way around. Staren's attention is split between focusing on the view ahead and watching Twilight. Admittedly, the ride loses some of its appeal when you've flown on magic wings or piloted a hypersonic fighter. Seeing Twilight's reaction, he asks, "Do you think it feels this rickety on purpose? Err, I mean... I bet it's actually really safe!" People must have ridden this, like, a million times before and it didn't fall down, right?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Given the option, Rhapsody decides some food wouldn't be a bad idea, "Sure! Lets enjoy ourselves for a moment. I think there's a souvenier place right across the midway from it too, so, perfect spot to rest for a second."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"That sounds fine. Sorry, I'm sure you guys could likely keep this up all day without me." Maxine doesn't want to feel like she's holding tem back as they slow down to get food and souvenirs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Let's do that!" Annie says happily. "We can take a better look at the map while we're there too. We should find something really interesting." She follows Yunomi towards the fries.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh no.. clearly this poor thing hasn't hasn't had any maintainence in *years*!" Sarah says with mock seriousness. "The wood's rotting away and the rails are rusty! It's a wonder they actually let people o--" It's at that moment that coaster crests the hill and drops towards what seems like infinity. Are people screaming or is Old Monster actually roaring!? For her part Sarah's squealing with delight, this is actually a lot more fun than she expected. the trick is to resist the urge to fly off with the car to save her new friends!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Bah, don't worry about it, Dr. Sandberg. I'm sure if the roles were reversed..." Yunomi begins, and she glances a tthe company, and then at Rhaps. "Well. I guess 'extra spicy death valley fries' are completely out of the question." she laughs. "Two large orders of fries, nacho cheese, bacon, jalapeno, two refillable souvineer cups, a kid's cup, and a regular cup all lemonade and -- OOOH are those /circus peanuts/? Gimmie one of them too!" she grins, charmingly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After taking a seat, Rhapsody glances up, "Who says? Is that a challenge?!" she calls out, amused to no end with all of the fun they've been having. "This has been great, I really needed a day like this."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Rhapsody, the last time you tried my spicy beefsticks and cheese, you almost turned colors from 'white' to 'red'. I'm pretty sure there's a card for that, I'll have to ask Theo!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blink. Pause. Blush? "Yeah, ah, ok, nevermind then!" Sheepish grin. Neckrubbing. Nevermiiiiiind expression from Rhapsody. <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel giggles widly at this. "This is almost as crazy as I flight my light jet!" <br /><br /> Heaven help you all Deelel wants it to GO FASTER!. She calls out to Gudilmaste rbut Maxine's idea to rake a break isn't a bad one. <br /><br /> She calls in with Maxine, annie and Rhapsody. <br /><br /> "So humm what about this ice cream I hear about so much? I heard some people just go on about the sea salt version."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Maxine will be fine, and I never got my doctorate. It's a long story, and I don't want to ruin the mood." They're here to have fun after all. "I'm sure if I tried those, my hair would do the opposite. You've never had ice cream before, Deelel?" Then against she doubts they have it where the program is from after all.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi returns, carrying a tray of food, piled high with incredibly unhealthy fried foods, and sets it down, handing one of the large refillable jugs of lemonade to Rhaps, one to Annie. She then hands Maxine the normal cup, and Deelel the kid's cup... which leaves Yunomi with no cup. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as she sits down, she pounds a very, very large jug against the table. "Dig in!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight blinks as Staren speaks up, then her logical mind kicks in. "Wait...you're right. It must be rather safe, or it would surely not still be part of such an advanced amusement park. Even one accident is enough to close do-" Twilight's analytical speech is cut by her starting to scream like the young girl she is as they plummet toward their doom! <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight's scream levels off as the coaster does, and turns into laughter. She is still hanging on tight to her safety bar, but as they whip around twists and turns and downward spirals she is obviously enjoying herself. Hopefully the passenger behind her doesn't mind pony mane, because Twilight's is whipping in the wind as the coaster moves. "Wheeeeeee!!" As the ride continues, Twilight actually holds up her forelegs. Another requirement of amusement parks. Holding one's arms up when riding a coaster.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie looks a bit confused at the distribution of food and drinks. When Yunomi ordered a kids' cup, she assumed it was for her, given that she's the youngest around (or at least the youngest looking). She didn't expect to get a bigger serving than her mother! Still, it didn't really matter that much, so she drank the lemonade happily.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Are you sure you handed those out correctly, Yunomi?" Maxine's conservative on the amount of food she takes. It doesn't look very healthy and she doesn't want to eat a whole lot if they plan on going on more rides.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren's glad to see Twilight calmed down, and then... "Ah!" It's a short cry of surprise, though, rather than a long scream. He watches the view speed past, knowing how he'll react if this /does/ go awry... he has a way to fly, and between Twilight's teleportation and magic barriers, they should be able to handle it... so, they're in control. Everything is alright.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe he's missing the point of the roller coaster, but to each their own, right? When Twilight's scream turns into laughter, he slips an arm around her and hugs, accompanying her 'Whee!' with a "Yeeeeeah!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Presented with food, the Izzet Guildmaster doesn't hesitate to dig in! Lemonade is drank, fries are piled away, and it is all delicious! "Mm!" There will be a thank you once it's all gone, likely.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi gives her jug a shake, putting an ear down as if listening to it, and then she pops the extra souvineer straw into it, and begins drinking. "Yep." the tanuki replies. "I'm not sure if you know, but I /am/ the owner and writer of one of the most sucsessful Mutliversal Comic Books, along with working for the best guild in Ravnica."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rest of the ride is a blur of speed and screams. The Monster twists, turns, and dips unexpectedly. Was there a loop in there? Sarah's trying to say something but it's lost amongst the noise of The Monster. Finally there's a turn so tight that it seems certain that the cars will go flying off the old wooden tracks! And then suddenly it slows down and coasts back into the station.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the coaster car comes into the station, Twilight is panting with exhiliration and leaning into Staren's hug. "Oh my! That truly was a monster!" she says as the bars rise on the car. She giggles, then hops out of the car and clops happily toward the exit back into the park, stopping there to wait for the others. "Roller coasters! It is no wonder they are so popular!" she says to the other two. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight pauses a moment, then looks around. "Let's see. Where to next...?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annie looks over the map again, checking the various parts of the park. "Maybe we should try something that has a story. There's usually something like that at these parks, right? Like something based on a movie or a fairy tale."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"I'll have to read it sometime. Yes, from what I've heard over the radio you conduct all types of magical experiments over there correct? I have to admit I'm not that familiar with magic. Oh, like the Straight to the Past ride?" Maxine nods in agreement with Annie, they usually have some kind of licensed ride in larger theme parks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren follows after Twilight, smiling. "It looks like they have a lot of roller coasters. You want to hit another one, or get these 'funnel cakes'?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FRIES COVERED IN BACON. Yunomi is eating it up. IT's not like a shapeshifter has to be concerned with her figure. "YEah... I'm way more proud of what I do with the Izzet, even though it's not as entertaining." Yunomi squirts some ketchup on her fries, leans back in her chair and considers. "Is... that one with dinosaurs?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>The tanuki's comment gets a little smirk out of the dragon-guildmaster sitting next to her. At this point, all fries are now devoured! "Mm! Delicious," pause. "The Izzet League is wonderful, crazy, but normal is boring! Also, those fries were delicious. Thank you!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah considers for a moment, She does want to try a few more coasters. But what the hell, none of them are exactly normal, they can probably handle a few more rides after snacking without too much worry. "Be right back. I'm gonna cheat for a sec." She grins, then lifts about ten feet into the air to get a better view of the park. "There!" She exclaims, coming back down to land next to Twilight and Staren. She's pointing toward a stand that's proudly proclaiming FUNNEL CAKES. FRIED IN 100% COCONUT OIL! "That's exactly what we're looking for!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"For you, Guildmaster? Anything." Yunomi gives a smile, and she rubs the back of her head a moment. "Ah well... totally worth it to see such happy faces."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight watches Sarah fly upward, then giggles. If flying is cheating, no wonder Rainbow Dash does it so much! "Funnel cakes!" she says to answer Staren, and in the process she rears up and kicks her forelegs excitedly before landing back on all fours and galloping off. "Last one there is a dusty old tome!" the pony exclaims as she gallops, then giggles happily.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel has been chilling out for the most part and is eying hte human food she's also gone fo the fried covered in bacon. It's not like she can have a heart attack. She'd have to /have/ a organic heart to start with. "So Guild Master I never got a chance ot visit your world would you be all right with that I'm also certain some of your people would like to see my Keyblade..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren finds Sarah's 'cheating' amusing, then nods... when Twilight bolts off, Staren takes off after her! Two legs vs four, this race isn't looking good for him though!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah dashes after Twilight, There's no way she can beat her while sticking to the ground, but she's putting everything she's got into beating Staren there!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:437|Annie Sandberg (437)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Well, one of those movies had dinosaurs in it," Annie notes. "But I don't know if the ride does."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight, with the others playing fair, reaches the stand first! She lets out a loud 'woohoo!' and bounces around on her tippy-hooves a few times. "I won! I wonIwonIwon!" she exclaims, then comes to a stop, a slightly confused and thought-filled expression on her face. "I never win races." She turns to watch the other two still heading toward her, then starts cheering for them. "Come on, Staren! Woohoo! Let's go Sarah!" It probably seems a bit silly to cheer for both, but friends aren't supposed to favor one friend over another.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah's a superhero! Out there running around after bad guys... Staren fights in giant robots or powered armor. There's no question of who's athletic. He's left sweating and panting at the end of the race. "Well..." pant pant, "I guess it's a good thing," pant pant, "you like dusty old tomes so much!" he grins at Twilight.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:272|Yunomi Stadler (272)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yunomi leans back, banishing her tokkuri back to the sidepocket it came from, and she gives a bit of a shrug. "I think I'm out for that one, ladies. All the excitement might overwhelm me." And Yunomi really doesn't have much love for dinosaurs. Or a Tyranosaur's ugly m ug. Full of ridiculous teeth. Seriously, how did they evolve into adorable little puffballs like kiwis? <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The world may never know.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah looks a little guilty at how easily she beat Staren. "I thought being part cat you'd be faster." She says as she scratches the back of her neck. "Anyway, since Twilight got her first, she gets to buy the funnel cakes! (With Taylor's money)" She exclaims with a mischievous grin.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The guildmaster gives a nod to Yunomi, "Mm.. After all the fries I think I may be settling down for the night myself. I had a really good time, though! I hope someone can pass my thanks along to Scott for me."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight giggles softly at Staren's comment, then wraps him up in a hug with her forelegs and nuzzles his nose before lowering back down to all fours. The pony blinks at Sarah's statement, then laughs. "I do not recall that being a condition of victory in a race." she says even as she pays for the funnel cakes. Three fairly large plates of the strange powdered sugar coated goodies are handed over, and Twilight uses her magic to float one to each of her friends, smiling happily. She could probably use her magic to float her cake up and take bites of it, but instead she floats her fork and cuts pieces off before daintily placing them in her mouth and chewing politely.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:279|Maxine Sandberg (279)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Yes, I guess it is getting kind of late. We should get back to our hotel. I'll have to make sure to thank him as well. It was good seeing all of you." Maxine smiles as she says that.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:325|Rhapsody (325)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The very mention of the senate causes Rhapsody to groan. "I hope not," she muses before looking to the others. "I hope you all have a wonderful night! It was nice to see you all."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren's not upset at losing here, he's happier for the opportunity to make a line out of it!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And then he's surprised by the 'funnel' cake. "Oh! /This/ is a funnel cake? Why do they call it that, it's not even shaped like a funnel! I thought funnel cakes were those little things with the sort of dip in them you put fruit in. But this /does/ seem a lot more like faire food!" He holds the plate and cake in both hands in front of his face, shifts the cake slightly off the plate, and eats it that way, taking in the experience of a new food curiously.<br> <br>

She looks like she's tempted to bite directly into it for as moment, but decides that taking the plate to a table would be less messy. "I'm not sure where the name comes from.. something to do with how they make them maybe?" She digs in to hers and watches Twilight in amusement as she floats the fork and knife.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight smiles as she watches the others enjoy the funnel cake, but noticing the time she sighs. "It is getting late. I should return to Equestria. Spike will need to be put to bed soon, and the books do not organize themselves." she says, then waits for the others before heading toward the train station. "This was a lot of fun! And I am so glad we met, Sarah! If you are ever in the neighborhood, feel free to drop by the Books and Branches library in Equestria."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:42|Staren (42)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Staren looks around. "Oh, Spike! You should have brought him." His eyes fall on a 'you must be this tall' sign. "Or, perhaps not." He looks back to Twilight. "I'll keep you company on the way home, then!" He follows after, and waves to Sarah, "Was nice meeting you!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:796|Sarah Rogers (796)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sarah nods in understanding, "It's okay, you're right. It *is* getting kind of late. I'm glad I met you both." She smiles, "I might take you up on that. Equestria sounds fascinating! Take care for now!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:8|Deelel (8)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Deelel is just well being a bit of a big kid with the everything it seems. She listens to the party and is just well haveing a grand oold time she's finished off her food she's just having a grand old time. <br /><br /> "I'm not sure about it but it can't hurt to visit once, right?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:411|Twilight Sparkle (411)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Twilight blinks as she hears Deelel, then smiles. "Well, so far no one who has visited has been hurt, unless they were attempting to hurt someone." she says as they approach the train platform.<br> <br>
