[The feed turns on, showing a young girl of about fifteen with orange-red hair. You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but she just woke up; even without her makeup or hair products on hand, she managed to make herself presentable and pretty with only her fingers. And waiting for the circles under her eyes to disappear. Just because she's in a strange place doesn't mean she has to look ugly.]

Hi! My name is Quinn, I'm a student at Lawndale High and vice-president of the Fashion Club. Um, so what is this place? I woke up in a bed that was kind of like something a princess or a soap star sleeps in, but I don't have any of my stuff with me.

I mean, I obviously got lost somehow. So can anyone tell me what's the quickest way back to Lawndale? I've got a Fashion Club meeting at Sandi's and she hates when people are late, you should've seen what she did to Stacy for showing up at 4:31 last week!

This place is called Genessia, young lady. As for where where your hometown is... I am afraid that I cannot say.

Genessia? That's a pretty name. But what does that have to do with not knowing where Lawndale is? Don't you have a map you could look at?

The only maps here are of Genessia itself so it seems.

What? But...but there's gotta be maps of other places!

[inquisitoring]

Not that I could find.

[Yang gives the other teen a friendly smile.]

The boat thing is pretty weird, huh? Well it's gonna get stranger, because you aren't even on the same planet you were before.

[Yang does not do subtle welcomings.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

-What?! [yes, to say Quinn is surprised is the understatement of the year]

[Yang grins, a bit sheepish.]

Another planet. Or world, anyway. Sorry. Figured getting out there was better than letting you figure it out on your own.

[cuteisawayoflife]

But-but how?! Did aliens come take me away or something?!

[video]

[alittlebitfiery]

Honestly? Nobody knows. Aliens is as good a guess as anything else.

[Oh, if only Rarity was here. She was sure the unicorn would love this person. After all they both liked fashion. Fluttershy only knew so much and could at least stitch things well enough.]

A Fashion Club, huh? I-I'm sorry but you might not be able to get there on time... I mean we don't know when any of us will go home after all.

[Okay, a talking horse? This just got even weirder]

Um...did you just...

[sharingkindness]

Did I just what? Oh my... Did I do something wrong? I-I'm sorry, I mean I could try again.

[She tries to pick up the device but fumbles and knocks it to the ground.]

Oh dear... I'm so sorry for all of this.

You're a horse. How are you...how are you talking in English? Or at all?

video;

[sharingkindness]

I-I feel like I should correct you. I'm a pegasus, not a horse. Though as for how I speak is simple. We are able to where I am from. I never had seen a human before now so I can understand how surprising this might be.

Read the pamphlet and watch the hologram at the exit of the Bay. None of it is a lie and there isn't really a way home, so you're going to have to get used to it.

[And she does just that, her heart sinking as she realizes it's true. Great, she's not just going to miss the meeting, she'll miss all the meetings and dances and parties!]

...great.

How long am I gonna be stuck here for?

video;

[whiteas]

The soonest I've seen someone disappear was a couple of weeks, but I also know people who have been here upward of two years so honestly? I couldn't tell you if I wanted to.

video;

[cuteisawayoflife]

Two years?! I can't miss that much school, Mom and Dad will kill me!

Time doesn't pass back in our home worlds, so you really don't need to worry about that. Think of it as a consequence-free indefinite vacation.

[skirtcladgunner]

Welcome to hell.

[She giggles.]

Don't worry, I'm just kidding--it's actually pretty nice here, all things considered! Unfortunately, you're also probably going to be here for a while.

[video]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Oh, good. That metal bed I woke up in was really pretty but the cave looked a little scary, so I'm glad this isn't some kind of creepy horror show. [She manages a little smile] And I get to miss English class so I guess it's not too terrible.

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

See? There's an upside to this situation~

[And it's better to be trapped in a place like this than Exsilium, which truly was like hell. Tori's... not about to bring that up to this girl, though.]

You'll have to seek out work and a place to live, but it really isn't too bad most of the time.

[video]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Work? Like...a job? Am I gonna have to fill out one of those things that lists all the stuff you did before, cause I've only ever worked at a pet shop and that didn't work out cause of...um, things. [A bird flying away and a giant snake getting loose kind of things.]

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

I don't think you'll have to give them any sort of resume, no... though to be fair, it probably depends on the job~

..."things"? Do I even want to know?
