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!!

They're the ones who act like Mayfield's a perfectly normal town, and that they've lived here all their lives.

From what I understand, it's a very advanced form of brainwashing.

[There is a crying pony on my back porch what is my life]

Yeah. Well. You and almost everyone else in town. You'll just have to talk to the people who are trying to get out of here.

[Applejack looks up at him with a small glimmer of hope, but she's still fighting back tears.]

There's other folks trying to get back home too, then? What about you, don't you have relatives or friends you want to get back to?

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't. I have nothing to go back to, so I'm staying here.

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if there is, Ah'm sure as shootin' going to find them!

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh ponyfeathers, Ah don't... And Ah doubt Dash has one either, though Ah guess Ah shouldn't really just assume that. Do you know someone who will lend us one?

"Currently I don't, and I haven't gotten any monitoring equipment like that from home."

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Brainwashing?! Oh Ah knew there was something bad going on around here! Is that one of the things that happens if y'all don't follow the rules? Someone brainwashes you to make you think everything's just hunky dory?

[Applejack is a little taken aback from that statement, even flinching back like it struck her before looking back at him right in the eyes.]

That doesn't sound too good, if you ask me, but Ah guess you can try and make a fresh start here and help other out if you wanted to, huh?

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we don't really need much fancy monitoring equipment at the moment to take a picture of a bird's eye view of the town, just a camera... Maybe if we ask around we could find one.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe. Still, something digital would be better than a simple black and white."

[identity profile] shhhhh-secret.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Something to that effect, yes. Except the rules here aren't the type that most people would agree to following except on the pain of turning into one of those things.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly I keep to myself. There's not much to be helping around here when things go bad.

[identity profile] frilly-filly.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Best of luck, then.

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe we will find one of those digeetolls when we ask around! And even if we don't, if we find some kind of camera, then at least we can maybe get a picture from an angle you haven't seen yet, right?

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmph, well Ah'll just have to worry about those rules when Ah come to them then, I guess. But you can bet Ah'm not letting anybody scramble my brains!

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
What's that suppose to mean? You shouldn't ignore helping someone out just because you don't think it would work, you help out because it's the right thing to do.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Hrm.. That is true. Sometimes I have a hard time thinking in low tech solutions. I wonder if they have cameras for sale."

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't owe anyone in this town anything. Same goes the other way around too. You'll see soon enough, in a town like this.

[He lights up another cigarette.] Everyone else in this house is brainwashed. A "wife" and two kids. They're going to act like you're a dog and can't understand you when you talk.

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Applejack gives him a stare, as if sizing him up...]

That's not a very neighborly attitude to take. Especially in a place like this where we're all stuck in the same boat.

But what do you mean the others are brainwashed? Is that there droning thing someone told me about? So the only one in the house who will talk to me in the house is you?

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah'm sure there's someplace around here that sales one. Ah can help earn some money for it too if y'all don't have enough on your own!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
"No. I never really spend any of the money I make at work."

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly it. You're stuck with me, it seems.

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
More like you're stuck with me, buster.

[She actually says that with a smile and bit more jovial then angry tone as she holds out a hoof to shake.]

The name's Applejack, what's yours?

[identity profile] downtoearthpony.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
A little filly like you works? Ah don't know if Ah should be impressed of how responsible you are or worried about who would put you to work...
