one apple [video]

[appletastic]

[Hey look, a video with a very farm-like backdrop! Nothing new. That the farmer on the video is a small orange horse wearing a cowboy hat might be somewhat new, though.]

Howdy everypony---er, everybody. Heh. Sorry. Force of habit.

Anyhoo, my name's Applejack. I'm from someplace called Equestria, if any of y'all know it? But this ain't my first time being dumped someplace new. Not as bad as it could be, I guess? I've been here about a week just trying to get my little slice of paradise up and running.

I'm no stranger to farm work, and I'd be happy to lend a hoof if you need to haul some heavy stuff. Just let me know, okay? Hope to see some of you fine folks around.

[And with a wave of her hoof, she shuts it off.]

[[ you know, talking animal-like people aren't new to nia, but a literal talking horse isn't usually a part of her wheelhouse. they don't even have regular horses where she's from, much less the pastel orange variety. ]]

Hello, ah, Applejack! My name is Nia. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

[[ and, cutting right to the chase: ]] What are you?

Well, Miss Nia, I'm a pony.

[She flicks her tail, slightly befuddled. She knows most humans aren't familiar with talking ponies, but this is new.]

An earth pony, to be precise. We work the land with our hooves.

A pony! I have never heard of such a creature before. You are very cute, ponies are very cute! [[ she's used to things like pigmoles and grapehippos and whatever this thing is, but not horses. go figure. ]]

"We"? There are more like you, these "earth ponies"? [[ cue awe. and then a thoughtful look. ]] Are there other types of ponies beside what you are, Miss Applejack?

[appletastic]

[Aww shucks. She smiles.]

Thank you kindly, Miss Nia, though I reckon my friends' reactions to that would sure be something.

Anyway, yeah, there's four kinds of ponies. The earth ponies, like me. Pegasus ponies have wings and fly. Unicorns have horns and can use magic. Then there are our princesses, the alicorns---they have wings, horns, and the strength of the earth ponies. We've all gotta work together to help the land grow.

[[ this is the most magical concept she's ever heard from and she is loving it if the look on her face is anything to go by. ]] There are so many kinds! How wonderful! And you all work together? That is so good to hear!

I hope to meet all the other types of ponies! Do you know if there are others here with us? [[ she pauses, visibly chilling out but only a little. ]] Or are you alone?

[appletastic]

I haven't seen any just yet. There's my friend Neph, she used to be an alicorn, but she's turned back to human.

Heh. Long story.
