22 Butterflies | Video (Possible Action)

[Sprout's face appears onscreen when the feed comes on, looking a bit confused.]

So uh...anyone else having this problem?

[The camera shifts to show Choco trying to calm down a rather frazzled Fluttershy...or at least one could assume it's Fluttershy. The yellow feathered wings are familiar, sure enough, but despite the human clothes, she clearly was not human at the moment. Her flowing tail, the same color as her hair, flicked anxiously as she paced on four hooves instead of two feet. She seemed to mutter an "Oh no..." with each turn, passing by Choco over and over as he tried to talk to her.]

C'mon, Fluttershy...it's nothing to worry about...

[The camera turns back to Sprout.] ...Little help?

((OOC: Can stay video, or can move to action. Most likely she'll be either in her apartment, or on the hospital roof.))

See you in a few.

[With that, Solus turns off the feed and the group speeds off for the cafe. Already on the road anyway, it certainly doesn't take them very long. Solus certainly enjoys driving a motorcycle and not speeding like a maniac, although considering Arcee's the one in control, it's not like she learned the proper way to drive yet.

Oh well, it's fun to pretend.]

[A few moments later, the sounds of hooves against pavement could be heard as Fluttershy came walking down the street towards the cafe, Sprout and Choco riding on her back.]

[It's Sprocket who finds this the most interesting, peeking from behind Solus as the two continue to sit on Arcee, parked next to the curb.]

Oh look, we're the same after all.

[Sprout can't help but grin at that.] Guess so...

[Choco and Sprout hopped off as Fluttershy came to a stop in front of Arcee.]

Hi...Arcee...

[She's seen a motorcycle before, and she knew Arcee that Arcee had been a motorcycle in her world. But she had to admit this was still a little odd.]

[Things only get odder once Spocket and Solus take Choco and Sprout's lead, hopping off of their own partner. As soon as they're off, the 'plates' of the motorcycle's exterior begin to shift and prod out. Mechanisms begin turning and clanking sounds can be heard and soon enough that isn't a motorcycle anymore. In seconds, Arcee changes back into her original robotic form.

Thankfully she's not as gigantic as her other Autobot comrades, but she still finds that she has to rest on a knee to get even close to Fluttershy's level.]

Try not to get offended if I don't order anything.

I will never get over how cool that is.

[Fluttershy can't help but jump a little when Arcee changes, but afterwards she blinks in awe, staring up at her.]

Ooooh...so this is what a...robot looks like?

It's what I look like, anyway.

[Shapes and sizes, etc.]

Surprise?

It's really a lot easier to ride around on her since she's so much smaller. Gotta say, we probably wouldn't have even made it out of our room if it weren't for the motorcycle thing.

[Meanwhile, Sprocket's already sitting at an outside table, holding up a menu to his face.]

Yeah, I'll take a mocha latte...

Oh...so are other robots usually much bigger?

[She seems to be taking it pretty well, considering. Then again, after having to deal with stuff from her own world, first of all, and then getting thrown into a world like this, is there much that still can surprise her?]

[...already going for the short remarks.]

Yeah, your standard mech is built to be a tank. Sometimes literally.

W-Which just means the smaller ones are made for speed.

There you go.

I'm sure they have ponies like that. ...Right?

[She didn't mean anything by it, honest.]

Well, sort of. Most of the agile fliers back home are pretty slender. And the Earth ponies that do a lot of work are a little more muscular.

There you go, just like that. Only Cybertronians like to take it in extremes. When we go big, we go big.

It's not a contest, Arcee.

Oh I see...!

So what's a..."Cybertronian"?

...My race, Fluttershy.

[Come on, keep up.

Of course, Solus feels the need to assure the pegasus pony that no one is actually upset with her not knowing.]

I-It's just the fancy way of saying robot people. K-Kind of like how animals have fancy Latin names.

[It's nothing like that.]

Oh...! Okay...

[Apparently that makes sense to her.]

So are there different kinds of robots, too?

[She shrugs.]

Guess there could be different species out there. Not that I ever met them. Universe's a big place. Just like how there's an endless amount of organic species. Couldn't escape them if you tried.

[She smiles.] That's true, I guess...

[Don't mind her, she just finds learning about different creatures fascinating...even creatures made of metal.]

[Truth be told, Arcee should be used to it. The kids especially loved to grill them when they first met. Maybe it's because it's happening further in their friendship rather than the beginning does Arcee find it strange.

Oh well, she'll get over.]

Okay, think you got enough about me. Now it's your turn to tell me about ponies.

[Her tail flicks in thought.] Well...what would you like to know?

[She had asked Arcee a lot of questions. It's only fair that Arcee gets a chance to ask her too.]

[Arcee has to think about that.]

Everything, I guess...

[She doesn't know much when it comes to organics.]

Let's start with the basics. What's pony society like?

Well...I guess it depends on where you live. There are different cities and towns, and how ponies act in a big populated city like Manehatten is a lot different than how ponies act in a small town like Ponyville...that's where I'm from.

Then there are cities that can be exclusive to a certain kind of pony, like Cloudsdale is for pegasi...and that's only because pegasi are the only ones who are able to live in a city up in the clouds, because of our wings and all.

But no matter what kind of pony you are, and no matter where you live, all of us do hold our princesses in high regards and respect.
