Pinkie (470) has posed:
This world has... Been around actually! Just a handful of weeks, but it's been here. It was a quiet unification; low key and almost even unnoticed due to the lack of sheer excitement when it happened.
The warp gate opens up some distance away from a sprawling cityscape, on an island, with an oddly pony-looking version of the Statue of Liberty, huh.
This might be better explained when people begin to explore the city proper.
There are ponies here. And pony-people! The populace is a mix of humanoid and equine formed unicorns, pegasi, or plain old earth ponies hustling and bustling about their business, and "Manehattan" as the signs name the place seems to be a very large melting pot of a city considering the occasionally griffon and even a more civilized chimera now and again.
So it's another Equestria!
Now the issue here comes in the fact that... The city seems to be in a state of unrest. People are on edge, some have the jitters, others are peeking over their shoulder as if expecting a knife in the back. How odd. Though there's something of a commotion around a small park- people (and ponies, duh) are gathering in a fairly big number and...
Laughing.
It's certainly better than the rest of the jittery city.

Ariel (219) has posed:
If they're pony people, Ariel won't be TOO out of place! She's going rather quietly along, trying to investigate... and looking like an odd unicorn, that's true. A young one, no less! So other than her artificial construction she fits right in!

Or would, if she didn't choose to be safe and ride the GIANT WARHOUND into the city. But hey, maybe that won't draw too many eyes. "Huh... well, where there's people there's a chance to figure out what's going on."

Might as well head toward the gathering.

Jinx (39) has posed:
'Light Duty'. A hateful term for a necessary step forward from recovery of being goddamn assassinated. Thus, a nice, leisurely walk and scan through one of the nicer, if highly colorful offerings in the fancy new grid that Jinx is still getting used to.

It's not as if Miss Jinx has been casing the joint. She's just been out and about... yeah, okay, casing the joint. At least she fits in with her bright blue hair and the pink dress she's wearing. All the better to blend in with, my dear.

Though, yeah, laughter in a jittery town gets the attention of the Loose Cannon, and soon Miss Jinx is wandering over as well.

Staren has posed:
Equestria! Again! Staren steps through the warpgate with care, but... hmm, once again, no pony field here either. He shrugs and looks around. "A pony version of pre-RIFTS Madhaven, huh...?" He looks at the statue... and... are those ponies and humans in the distance? "That's interesting..." he smiles a bit at the sight of the mixed species together. It's not the diversity of Lazlo, but it's more than he usually sees.

When he gets closer and sees they're... /pony/-people, he shifts his clothes to a hooded cloak. Maybe if he covers his face and tail people will mistake him for an earth-pony-person.

He's so absorbed taking in the new world, it's awhile before he notices the quietness and jitteryness of the population. But still... it doesn't look like they're /slaves/, so it's not another Black Queen situation.

But there's... laughter? Staren decides to go see what all the fuss is about...

Mizuki (183) has posed:
Mizuki had just returned to her home after commentating a fight between two scarily strong fighters. So what does she do? She goes back out to an entirely unknown place. Yup. Even if she has been re-learning what it means to be tired these past few weeks, she's still too stubborn to acknowledge that she's fatigued. Instead of common sense, she lets her curiosity guide her, leading her eventually to this place: Manehattan.

Mizuki has been to an Equestria before, albeit briefly. That night, she met princess Luna, a seemingly happy equine who was as accommodating as one would expect a noble of her status to be. It was a nice little visit... and it was nothing like this. As Mizuki soars into Manehattan, black wings spread wide, she immediately picks up a sort of... charge in the atmosphere. This is confirmed after a glance down at the streets where several people are glancing nervously from side to side. She doesn't know what's going on here, but she's suddenly glad that she decided to stay partially hidden on a roof rather than dashing right in to the middle of the town like she would normally be wont to do.

So for now, she waits, studying the city from her vigil up high. She does notice and remember Jinx, and she can tell that that cybernetic pony probably doesn't belong here. Oh, and is that... Staren? Well. At least there's someone here that she knows... somewhat well. In fact, it might be a decent idea to follow him in case he runs into trouble. So that she does, after fading out of sight and taking to the sky again...

Amaterasu (23) has posed:
Coming through the warpgate is a large white canine creature that may or may not be a wolf! Ambiguous perhaps. But quite appropriate, since not everyone here will see her the same. Non-Elites who have no spiritual beliefs will probably just see a big dog, similar to a Husky or Malamute, but completely white. Like completely. Except for her eyes, which are completely black. And of course her nose, which is also black.

Of course, spiritual beliefs, especially in gods - and particularly Asian-type deities - will allow her to be more easily seen as what she truly is. What is she? A large white wolf, with red markings on her fur, and winglike tufts of hair that seem to move in a breeze that isn't there. A large disk burning with holy fire spins above her back.

Atop her head a green glow makes itself known and Issun pops out of the fur there. "...Geez. Ammy, this place is...really creepy. Tell me I'm not the only one that feels nervous."

Quietly, so as not to draw attention to HOLY CRAP TALKING DOG!, Amaterasu notes, "<It is. But there is laughter here.>"

"Why would someone be laughing in a place like this?" Issun asks, incredulous.

"" And with that, she and Issun head for the place the laughing comes from.
