[Oh god, now who is this guy? He's new, and he looks pretty mad. He's pacing the lobby like a mad freak. Fists clenched, hair ruffled and glasses broken, he's pretty hard to ignore because of the fact he's yelling out at the top of his lungs. Someone's gotta hear this guy.]

"Hello!? Helloooooo~
I said hello! Ca-can anybody hear me?
This is a joke... this is a joke right?
Someone-Someone want to tell me what's going on?"

[He pauses, and messes up his newly found hair, and then has a minor freakout. There he goes, talking to himself...]

"Ohhh my god, ahaha... oh this is ridiculous. THIS IS ridiculous, truly and utterly ridiculous!
I can't even conceive how ridiculous this is... this... this is like the epitome of ridiculous right here, right here in one place. It's-"

[He turns around, and trips over his footing, knocking over a vase. Oop.]

Comments

[wheatdos]

[No use. The dude is floored. He's got little squiggles for eyes.]

"...Oh god, that... that feels, well that feels really awful actually."

[Orrr... not?]

"...What- what are these supposed to be!? Some sort of glaring death trap of doom??!?!"

[He sits up, squinting due to lack of glasses.]

[doublethefun]

Nay. They are merely stairs.

[she looks about, gathering up the broken pieces of the glasses with her magic and makes it whole again.

Floating it towards him.]

This is actually a very enjoyable story. You mind if I draw something based off of this just cause?

[wheatdos]

[He sighs, and pushes his hair back, grabbing at the glasses and putting them on. Oh, no cracks? He can actually see]

"Hey,heyhey, could you use some of that floaty magic to get me up these death trap stairs? Just, for now."

course not! I'd love to see it! :D

[doublethefun]

[a wingshrug]

'Tis a small matter. [and now he's surrounded in blue glowy magic and trailing along after her as she ascends the stairs]

What wert thou saying afore the fall?

Funny enough, your roleplay is actually one of the most enjoyable I've experienced so far!

[wheatdos]

"Uh... eh? I was saying something?"

[He pauses for a moment]

"Oh yes... rightrightright. I... I was talking about myself wasnt I? Well, I'm a- a... okay, imagine this. You see, I'm an... uh... a- Imagine a sort of, uhhhh... collection of vast vast intelligence put into a tiny concentrated robotic ball and then left to assist in managing a vast place, controlling every aspect of that place. A place- a place as large as this castle- no, bigger! Well actually I don't know how big this castle is, really, but the place was probably bigger than that..."

[He seems satisfied]

"That- that would be me."

aksdjfa awwww. I'm really enjoying this thread too!

[doublethefun]

[robots, robots. Do ponies have robots? They've got trains, so maybe there's an idea of robots?]

Then...thou wert an automaton in an assistant managerial position?

Great to hear. :D

[wheatdos]

[He stares at her]

"...Yyyyyyyy..."

[He squints]

"..Yyyy..."

[He's still squinting]

"...yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes... I think. Yes! Yes, yeah... something like th- yes. Definitely."

[doublethefun]

[a smirk]

Thou dost not seem very certain.

[wheatdos]

"What, no of course it's certain. In fact, it's-it's the most certain thing I've probably ever said here, I swear.

[He looks around, putting his hand in his lab coat pockets.]

"You see. I was pretty impressive though. Still am, haha. But if you'd see me then, love, you'd be much more impressed, I guarantee it."

[doublethefun]

[snerk]

Perhaps thou wilt be more impressive when thou learnest to work thy own legs.

[and yup, they're at the library. She'll set him down as she opens the door and enters the room.]

[wheatdos]

[He lands on his feet shakily. He can walk, but he constantly trips over his own feet. Looking around, he laughs a bit at her joke, and looks around]

"...Oh, oh this- this is FANTASTIC. All- all the books! Do you see all of these books, do ya see them? So many books. So, so many. There's got to be some good philosophy reads here, maybe-maybe Aristotle or- or Isaac Newton! Confucius! Einstein! Geniuses I have never even heard of!"

[A pony from Equestria probably has never heard of those names, but he doesn't think of that. He sounds so happy for a moment- but then he clears his throat TRYING to look serious.]

"And- and a way to get out of here, too. Can't forget that- that's, that's important."

[doublethefun]

Then let us hope that the exit does not involve any stairs.

[nope, she doesn't know them but she'll mentally note down their names so she can look them up later.]

I believe the philosophy section is located here. [she starts walking down an aisle]

[wheatdos]

[Nope: Too late. He's already sitting on the floor, with piles of books in front of him, scattered across the floor. He's reading one book, while holding the book upside down. It probably would be a good idea to say something, but he seems to be reading intensely.]

"Hey, hey."

[He sounds distracted from reading.]

"How- how bad... do you want to leave this place?"

[doublethefun]

[she blinks, and then settles on the floor after she rearranges some of the books]

Very much, I dare say.

[...] I believe thy book is upside down.

[wheatdos]

[He blinks]

"Wh-what? Oh, oh well- actually that explains alot. You know, I was wondering if this book was in some strange code, but, but that makes sense."

[He turns the book rightside-up.]

"I can use all the knowledge I can get. With any kind of information, we'd be one step closer to getting out of here. I'm not sure exactly where this Equestria would be, but, but I'd send you there, and I- well, I would love to go back to my lab. Take it for myself. You know- maybe-maybe they have a book on the places... that the residents originated from? M-maybe? It'd be nice to see this... this place where you come from, myself."

[doublethefun]

[starting to wonder if he needs a babysitter or something.]

Twilight Sparkle seemed to have found a few books on Equestrian history. If thou shouldst ask, if thou ever sees her.

[hm] She is a purple unicorn filly.

[Sorry about such a long response, I've been not feeling well.]

[wheatdos]

"Twilight sparkle, twilight sparkle. Alright, alright."

[He looks at her for a while, and laughs]

"I'm not bothering you am I? I- I actually kind've find this all to be quite enjoyable, really like-like some sort of crazy oh! Some crazy detective case. Yes! Yes,Following the clues, making hypotheses, it's like any detective film.

[He's reading a detective book as he speaks.]

nahh, it's fine. Hope you're feeling better!

[doublethefun]

Nay, I would not still be here if thou wert.

[headtilt] Thou dost know that fictional detective novels are highly exaggerated, yes?

I am, thankyou. :)

[wheatdos]

"Ex-exaggerated?"

[He sets the book down.]

"Nonsense. You- you simply look for the clues and you follow them to come to some sort of conclusion. No, no matter how crazy it is, they all have that same, same, component to them. We just look for it, and then we soolllve it. Like, like that. I'll be Sherlock, and you'd be Watson. It's it's a bloody brilliant plan, you don't even have to lift a... a uh, hoof! Just cover me is all.

[doublethefun]

[a skeptical look. Did you just give her the sidekick role?]

If it were as straightforward as that, I highly doubt that anypony would still be trapped here.

[wheatdos]

[Yes. Yes I think he did.]

"Haha, you're forgetting. You've got a genius here."

[He reads through a few pages in the book, in silence]

"...Would.... there be a lab here by any chance too?"

[doublethefun]

[there's a roll of her eyes]

Nay, I do not believe so. However, there is a clinic on the second floor; it may have the various apparatuses thou may need.

I've been super super sick, but good news is I'm back now. Nice and healthy.

[wheatdos]

"You're the greatest, the best. Did I tell you that yet? Very important, see with you I'm already making an immense amount of progress. It's great, really great. It's like you're some sort of spooky-voiced g-guardian, If-if that's even the right word to describe you."

[He flips through a thesaurus.]

"Colossal! Wait, no... that's the wrong great... um. Give me a moment. Uh... um...Ahhh... transcendental! Y-yeah, that's it."

[He's attempting to be nice. It looks like it's failing.]

That's good to hear!

[doublethefun]

[there's an amused sound] I will take that as a compliment.

Thus far, thou hast perused a detective novel and a thesaurus. Are they relevant to thy search?

[wheatdos]

[He is holding a book up and leans back, till he falls over, onto his back, looking up at a book. There, he begins to read]

"I-I'll probably, uh, most likely be able to tell you that in a few hours love. How about I, uh, sit here for a little bit, and then, and then I'll, well, we can talk about it then. I-I I think that would be great."
