[The entrance hall to the mansion is certainly glorious, but what it isn't is the throne room of Canterlot- which is where Sunburst absolutely just was. As such, there's a cloaked, bespectacled little unicorn wandering around, looking about himself in confusion. He's pretty tired, he's just been on an epic adventure- this is probably some strange hallucination brought on by too much magic-strain or something. That makes sense. That makes absolute sense.

And then he finds his device- which is absolutely alien to him. What in the hay IS it??? The device is suddenly surrounded in a sparkly, yellow glow- an action which turns it on- as Sunburst levitates it closer to his face, squinting at it. He talks to the screen, though he doesn't realise it- he's largely speaking out loud, trying to understand what's going on.]

I've never seen an artefact like this before. I'm not convinced I could dream this up along with...whatever this place is. Perhaps there was a magical feedback loop from the portal? Though it would have to be on a delay for it to start happening now. Hnnh, I hope the effects don't last long, I have a lot of new research to compile. I guess I need to wait for it to wear off. Talk about inconvenient. I wonder if any of the others are suffering side effects?

[Why does this keep happening to him? Sunburst sighs a little. ]

I assure you, I am not a figment of your imagination. I am very real.

[lifeisntfun]

...Can I pet your mane?

[bibliocorn]

I-

[Okay, he was not expecting that. He looks up at his mane, which as it always does- looks like he's been dragged through a hedge backwards. ]

...I'm not sure I would be all that comfortable with that....actually. Sorry. Personal space bubble.

[lifeisntfun]

I can understand that. I wouldn't like it either. It's not every day you see a unicorn, though. Even in my neck of the woods.

[bibliocorn]

From what I am gathering, unicorns seem to be somewhat rare in a lot of the worlds represented here. It's rather strange, honestly. We're very common, back home.

[lifeisntfun]

Yeah, a lot of people here would probably find my world strange too.
I'm Beatrice. Welcome to Wonderland, it's actually awful here.

[bibliocorn]

I'd be happy to learn about it, the strange can be very fascinating.

I'm Sunburst and uh...thank you for the...warning? Welcome? Both?

[lifeisntfun]

It's both, really.
Welcome!

[bibliocorn]

I'll take both. I think in situations like this, both is warranted.
