Dreaming Wide Awake [Fourth Wall/Open]

[revenancemods]

Who: Everyone! Current characters, fourth wall characters, whoever wants to show up.
What: The portals are closed. Everyone's in Traverse Town, including a whole bunch of new people. This should be interesting.
Where: Traverse Town
When: Throughout the day
Warnings: Depends on the characters. Expect language at least.

You didn't expect to be here. You really didn't. The technicolor buildings are a surprise, as is the little white flying bear telling you you're in the dream world. He gives you a bag full of what looks to be currency, enough shiny things to create a creature of your own (or so he says), and sends you on your way.

Good luck.

"Who's Twilight?" he asked, confused. Had he heard the name off anyone? He might have, but he wasn't sure. "One of your gang? Nah, I mean the two big ponies. Wings 'n horns. I heard someone calling 'em Princesses... did I get it right?"

[elementofloyalty]

"Twilight Sparkle. She's one of our friends too. She just became a princess recently... There are four Equestrian Princesses if you count her. The others are Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance." It felt weird, explaining things that everypony knew.

[realmenknitplushies]

Ah. Yes, now that sounded familiar. "...Celestia 'n Luna, I think. I haven't exactly talked to 'em much." He shrugged. "Congrats to your friend, though. Damn."

[elementofloyalty]

"Wooooooow. I can't believe the Princesses are here." That was mind-blowing, pretty much the literal equivalent of the sun and the moon being in the wrong place. "You mean nopony can get back home?"

[realmenknitplushies]

"Nobody, nopony, no-one." Kanji sighed, slowly. "Well, not by lookin' for a way out, though. You guys're lucky, though. There's kinda a copy of your place around here. ... If you believe me on that one," he said, grumbling slightly.

[elementofloyalty]

"A copy of... our place?"

Rainbow looked around expectantly, as if Sugarcube Corner would suddenly loom up out of the darkness where it had been hiding all this time.

[realmenknitplushies]

He nodded. "There's other towns, other places, you can get to from here. One of 'em's where you guys come from."

[elementofloyalty]

"So Ponyville is here?!" No, no, wait. "I mean, a copy of it? Wait, how do you copy a place like that? Argh! This whole thing makes NO SENSE!"

[realmenknitplushies]

"Hell if I know the answer." Dream logic. How could he exactly argue with it?

[elementofloyalty]

"You're sure asking me to believe a lot of wild things..." She leaned forward to poke him. "But I guess if you're real, all the rest of it can't really be impossible either."

[realmenknitplushies]

"Hey, watch it!" he snapped. "...But yeah. Not gonna lie, it confused me for a while, too."

[elementofloyalty]

"Sooooo what's the deal? Do you even know why we're all here? Is there somepony responsible?" Rainbow might be hinting at unpleasantness in store for that somepony if there is.

[realmenknitplushies]

Kanji shook his head. "We're all tryin' to work that one out. So far, not much luck."

[elementofloyalty]

"This is weird." Rainbow might have shown just a hint of the alarm and fear she was otherwise refusing to acknowledge, in her words and in the brief flicker that crossed her face.
