[Ah, Vatheon. How lovely it must be for all of you who are topside right now. Surely you are enjoying the sun, the shade, the lovely ocean water and beautiful sea life~

... But then. Are those the sound of hooves?]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[And now a shriek! A panicked shriek of a damsel in distress! Could someone be hurt, is someone drowning? Oh, whatever is going on now?]

Oh, oh, no, no, no, this is awful! Simply dreadful! Oho, how could this have happened!?

[For anyone watching or even on the island right now, she will make herself known: a beautiful white mare shivering and tromping about in the sand. Oh, it's sticking to her hooves! Her beautifully polished hooves! Rarity barely realizes she's tapped the communicator beside her, nor does she pay attention to the lovely vest. (Really, Princess Zelda, the shade is lovely, but Rarity is currently preoccupied with more important things!)

Pawing at the sand and with tears in her big blue eyes, she sniffles.]

O-oh. My poor mane. A-and my coat. Ooh, it's all ruined!

(( ooc: Feel free to reply with an action response if you wish. Hopefully someone can calm her down. :c ))

Dirk Strider. In case it wasn't obvious, I know Dash pretty well by now.

As I take it, you are another one of these... humans, are you not?

Hmm... Such an interesting shape you all have.

[May or may not be coming up with many ideas for outfits]

Bingo. Even if they aren't human, most of the intelligent species here do take on a bipedal form.

[Even if she isn't now, she will be eventually. It's Rarity, after all.]

Intriguing... Two pant legs, two sleeves- Hmm, a pony could get used to that. Less work means more time for more chic designs!

[Just talking to herself, don't mind her.]

Ahem, yes, well~ In spite of these less than lovely circumstances, it is lovely to meet you, darling.

If that's the case, I know a few people who'd go to you for commissions.

[He'll mind! But in a good way.]

Sure thing. Anything else you need to know about how things work around here?

Ooooh~! Magnificent!

[She'll just be rearing up on her hind legs and for a bit. Excited pony!]

Mm, well... Why exactly are we here?

[Excited ponies are good ponies. And maybe Rainbow Dash will always be his favorite, but that doesn't mean he can't like any others that show up, either.]

The appearances are essentially random, but we're here because of some scientists running experiments.

[... Ok, she's not so happy about that. Rarity goes wide eyed and twitches.]

Wh-wh-what!? Experiments!? Are we going to be strapped to tables? Injected with strange chemicals!? I cannot allow this! I won't!

Nothing that philistine. There's a mark somewhere on you, not your cutie mark. That's how those experiments are administered. We call 'em curses, because they can make tons of irritating shit happen, but they're usually not any kind of torture.

Oh. I... see.

[She looks around to see if she can find this mark somewhere on her and after a bit of searching it turns up on the underside of her front right hoof.]

Goodness, how... tacky. Well, at least it is an inconspicuous spot.

I take it that there is no possible way to remove these marks at all?

No chance. They're magic, or something.
