4th Sapphire Cupcake: [Video / Action for Cianwood] - Backdated to 27 April, early morning

[The feed suddenly clicks on at an ungodly hour of the morning, on a weird angle which shows that it's obviously sitting on the floor and has been accidentally turned on. There are crashes as growling Trapinch dashes past, followed by an annoyed looking Pineco.

The feed shows the two attempting to tackle each other and dodging, hitting furniture and slamming into the walls.

At this point, if anyone is wondering where the heck their owner is, he's dead to the world, snoring on the bed. You can just hear him in the background over the noise these two pokemon are making.

The pair become tangled up in a corner of the blanket which is draped on the floor. Struggling to both get loose, they pull the entire blanket off the bed, dragging three eggs with it.

They hit the ground with a crack and the feed blinds everyone watching with a series brilliant white lights.]

Karp...karp...karp...karp.

Reeeeep, Mareep?

Hor...seaaaaaa.

[The light fades and Spike's three newest pokemon are revealed (well, at least two of them...the Magikarp egg rolled off screen). Spike's Trapinch and Pineco, obviously surprised by this development, immediately start arguing, each blaming the other for what happened.]

What? Who's there?

[Cue their bleary owner, who has finally woken up.]

What the!?! YOU GUYS HATCHED?

[You can see Spike's feet as he hops off the bed, and starts frantically running around the room]

Oh Celestia, whatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoIdo???

Okay, stay cool Spike...you can handle this....

Wait, YOU'RE A FISH?!?

[A beat]

Water! I need water!

[Spike's legs race past into the bathroom, and you can hear the water being turned on in the bathtub as he dumps his Magikarp into it.]

[Eggs...Dorumon watches the video with mild wonder that fades to bewilderment when noise explodes from the Gear.

He watches for a moment, blinking.]

They look fine to me.

[There's a bit of a break before Spike answers as he runs around frantically, before finally calming down and picking up the gear.]

Thanks. I think they're okay. [After dumping both his Magikarp and Horsea in the tub, Spike really hasn't had a chance to inspect his Mareep, and holds a hand out toward it cautiously. She sniffs his hand experimentally.]

Sorry for waking you. I didn't expect them to hatch all at the same time, and I didn't expect my pokegear to be on. [Spike glares at Acorn and Pinchy.]

I wasn't sleeping. [Bagon was, though. He glances over...looks like he still is.] Does this machine do that a lot?

[Spike makes a face]

Nah, my other two pokemon somehow turned it on. [Spike looks around the room, which is looking pretty trashed right about now. He addresses his Trapinch and Pineco who are in the background.]

Don’t tell me you guys were fighting again? [Trapinch just snorts at him. Spike rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath.]

Great. Another mess to clean up. Like I don’t have enough to do already.

[Dorumon just watches them all interact, chin in hand and mind drifting.]

What else do you have to do?

[This world is so big and busy and full of people. Up close it's frightening, but through this screen it's alien and fascinating.]

[Spike blinks. He wasn't expecting the question.]

Clean this room up for a start. Feed all my pokemon which reminds me I need to find out what you guys eat [Aimed at his newly hatched pokemon], and then Twilight wants me to run more errands for her...which means I'll need to write a checklist.

[Spike rolls his eyes]

Twilight loves checklists. She even has a checklist for making a checklist! I mean, who does that?

[Even something as mundane as cleaning a room sounds like a new and amazing experience to Dorumon. Errands? What kind of errands could someone run in a place like this?]

I don't know. I don't know anyone who writes checklists to begin with. [What a strange thing to do.]

Man, you're lucky. Twilight makes me write checklists for her all the time. Half the time, I end up with claw cramp coz they're so long. And than I have to double and triple check the checklist to make sure everything has been checked off.

Honestly that pony is way too organised.

["Twilight" sounds like a terrifying person, or an intimidating one at the very least.

...hold up]

Pony? Hey, that's what someone thought I was...so you weren't a human, either?

No, actually I'm a dragon. Spike the awesome dragon. My friends are all ponies though. Most of them are here - we're only missing Fluttershy, but apparently she was able to go home.

So, are you a pony too?

[Spike studies Dorumon. He doesn't look familiar...]

[Ooh dragons.] No, I'm a Digimon. And I'm sort of a dragon. [We're cool, right? The coolest.]

[Spike grins widely. This place was great! All the dragons here are so friendly! Big change from Equestria.]

I've never heard of a Digimon before. But that's great! We're both dragons! [Spike is excited to be amongst so many of his own kind.]

I met another dragon here too - his name is Temeraire. He's a big adult dragon, but really nice not like the dragons at home...

["Big adult" anything doesn't instill much hope in Dorumon, either, so it's nice to have confirmation from someone. Temeraire: probably a name that can be trusted. Noted.]

What about the dragon Pokemon? Have you met any of those?

Yeah! Twilight has one - a dragonite? And she gave him my name.

He's pretty big. He lets Twilight fly around on him. And Rainbow Dash has a Charizard. Dragon pokemon here look so different from dragons in Equestria.

What about where you're from? Are there lots of Digimon dragons?

There are. I haven't met many, though. [Where "met" doesn't include "was nearly killed by".] There are a lot of different kinds.

Wow really?

[A pause]

What do digimon dragon look like? I mean, before you came here, what did you look like? Normally I have purple scales and a green belly, with green spikes along my back. And shorter. But not that much shorter. This place could have at least made me a little taller....

They all look different. [He tilts his head, trying to picture Spike's original form. It...isn't too far off?]

I'm Dorumon. I have purple and white fur, and claws, and lots of teeth. And, I have an interface on my head - [he pokes his own forehead.] - right here. Except my face isn't all flat like this, of course. [Thinking, thinking. It's hard to come up with things to describe - you tend to take what you look like for granted.]

I was a lot smaller, too. [Not that he's too tall as a human kid; he's like four and a half feet.]

[Spike frowns.]

You sound like you look really cool! Purple dragons are awesome. Ugh seriously. Being short is so annoying isn't it.

But um...what's an interface? [Spike's never really come across that word before.]

[/// c-cool oh gosh

But the interface, um...

...yeah, fuck it] It's just a stone that's set there. Other Digimon don't have that.

[Spike blinks. He wasn’t expecting that. Although, since it seemed that only ponies had cutie marks, he supposed creatures from other worlds had other things that would be considered pretty normal for them.]

“A stone? In your forehead? That sounds really painful. What does it do? Is it like a jewel? Because if it was a jewel, that would be torture!

[Spike is thinking about how horrible it would be having a jewel on your body that you couldn’t eat!]

“Why do only you have it?”

It...I guess it does look more like a jewel than a "stone". [He'd only ever had it called that, though.] It doesn't hurt at all.

[...aaaand that is a minefield of a question. Dorumon's going to stop and think about how to answer that for a second.] Mmm...it's just the kind of Digimon I am. [Not actually a lie, but it avoids the complicated parts.]

Oh well, I guess that's good. [As long as it didn't hurt!]

That makes sense.

I can burp green fire to send letters between Twilight and Princess Celestia. I don't know any other dragons who can do that.

[In a cheery voice]

So I guess that's the kind of dragon I am!

How long have you been here for Dorumon?
