01 Apple Pie

[Dawn has passed on Brady Lane, but only by an hour or so when sunlight has reached the newly appeared doghouse in 337's backyard. The doghouse contains an orange colored pony with a yellow mane, quietly snoring, as if unaware what awaits her when she wakes up. Which is actually the minute the sunlight hits her face. She's use to getting up when the rooster crows, after all. Of course when she finishes yawning and rubbing her eyes with her hooves, she's a little shock to see the unfamiliar surroundings.]

What in tarnation? I don't remember falling asleep in the barn last night... Wait, this isn't mah barn. Where in Equestria is this?

[Applejack steps out of the doghouse and looks around to see a strange and unfamiliar landscape around her. She's looking over everything, which isn't actually much what with the backyard fence blocking her view.]

Well, it's definitely not Ponyville... Or any place Ah've seen before. What's with the door there? Doesn't look like it's made for a pony.

[She's referring to the back door of the house of course, and she makes her way to it when she suddenly is jerked to a stop by the rope that has her tied to the dog house.]

Erk! Now who did this? Is this some prank of Dash's and Pinkie Pie's? Hmph, Ah'll be sure to give them a piece of mah mind if it is.

[She walks over to the doghouse and uses her teeth to untie herself from it. She can't really get to the part looped around her neck at the moment, but she'll worry about that later. Now is the time to get some answers. Which is why she walks up to the door with a determined look and knocks on it loudly with her hoof.]

HELLO?! ANYPONY IN THERE?! Y'ALL NEED TO COME OUT HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!

[She pauses and seems to glance up, as if noticing something for the first time before knocking again.]

AND YOU NEED TO GIVE ME BACK MAH HAT IF YOU HAVE IT, TOO!!

This place sets us up in a traditional nuclear family--father, mother, children, pets.

(Nods towards the dog house.)

I'm guessing this place expects you to be the pet. I'm not clear what that entails, though.

No one knows why. We all are forced to live in fake families. There's brainwashed people everywhere. And there's no way of getting home.

[identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It is rather ominous, isn't it?

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Applejack is....shocked to say the least. Brainwashing? No way of getting home? This isn't good at all, and it pretty much brings her anger to a halt now.]

But...what about families and friends? They'd notice people missing, wouldn't they? Wouldn't they help if they knew we're trapped here?

[She's definitely grasping at straws here...]

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! Which is why the sooner Ah get some answers, the better Ah'd feel.

[Applejack is quite surprised by the sudden display popping up.]

Well Ah'll be! That's some fancy magic you got there! Are ya part unicorn or something?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, its not magic. This is a holograph projected by a computer at my home. Its a giant machine."

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Good gravy, that's some impressive machine if it can do this then! So it can show the whole darn town? And mark places like the house Ah'm at now as well?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, it can show the parts of the town that I have mapped. Which isn't really as much as you'd think, but yes. Omoikane can do that."

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
What?! I ain't anyone's pet!! Oh if Ah ever find out who did this, they are going to get a serious applebucking!

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh-moe-ee-kah-neigh? Is that it's name? Heh, even it's name sounds impressive.

But you only have parts mapped? So Ah guess you don't have anything for outside the town, then? Ah keep hearing we can't leave this place, but Ah've got friends and family who depend on me, and Ah can't just stay here...

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"The problem is that if you try and leave the town at one point, it loops back to another point on the opposite side of the map."

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Beats me. I'm not a good one to ask about that. There are people here who have friends here, might want to ask them what happens then. Whether they were missing, or had life gone on as normal.

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Applejack stares a little confused at Ruri.]

How in the hay does that work? So there's no way out then?

[identity profile] shhhhh-secret.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck with then.

Until you do, expect the drones to treat you like a regular animal.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not that I've found yet, but... I'm still looking."

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The 'drones'? Who in Equestria are they? Can't they see Ah'm not an animal? Ah can talk for gosh sakes!

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Applejack sits down, almost like deflating. She seems pretty down and defeated.]

Ah see... Ah'm sorry Ah yelled at ya. Ah take care of mah family back home, so ah was in a rush to get some answers to get back to 'em. But it doesn't look like Ah'll be seeing them anytime soon...

[Oh dear, she's really depressed now. She might even be tearing up...]

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Applejack nods slightly in acknowledgement, still looking a little sad, but then her expression suddenly brightens as a thought occurred to her.]

Have you tired going up?!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
"No. I can't fly. Can you?"

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
'Course not, but you said you've met Dash, right? Ah bet she would be willing to give it a shot!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd rather send someone in an environmental suit. If she got hurt I'd feel bad."

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... You've got a point there... Ah was thinking if maybe she got to a certain height she'd be able to fly out over whatever does that looping thing...

But pegasi can fly pretty high without any trouble, so maybe we can ask her to take some pictures from up there? We might see some way out that we wouldn't see from the ground.

"Do you have a camera?"

[identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there must be somepony in town who knows what's going on here.
