video } the wonderful part of the mess that we made we pick ourselves undone

[Starlight's not used to these devices or much about this place, but it's just like learning new magic. She's sure she can do it. After a few minutes of fiddling with a hoof, she turns it on, using her magic to hold it out in front of her.

Slightly upside-down, but she hasn't noticed.]

Greetings. My name is Starlight Glimmer. I am a newcomer here. I have read all your pamphlets and other resources, it's all very informative, but none of it answers my real question.

[She hesitates, then pushes through.]

...is this a friendship test?

O....kay....

[She just raises an eyebrow.]

Metaphorically or literally?

[forwearemany]

Literally.

(After a moment, they decide to give clarification.)

The "Events" mentioned in the pamphlets are generated when "Wonderland" consumes memories. Months ago, Shepard-Commander acquired data that indicates that with each death, a part of one's soul is consumed.

There's a commander here who's a shepherd?

[She's processing all this, but... that's an interesting detail.]

[forwearemany]

Negative. Shepard is her surname.

[truefriendship]

Is she a human?

[forwearemany]

Yes.
