AI-Non in Equestria CH2

>You wake up to the smell of rotten trash around you

>You came upon this trashcan last night when you found this quaint looking town

>You had nowhere else to sleep, so you slept in the trash can

>Do humans usually sleep in trash cans?

>If your data is correct, homeless ones do

>And currently your homeless

>You should try and fix that

>You decide the best course of action, currently at least, would be to leave the trash can and do some scouting before revealing yourself

>Considering what happened with the purple equine, its most likely for the best if you don’t outright show yourself to the natives

>Taking a step out of the trash can, you look around the alleyway where the can is

>On one side, you see business going on, you can make it out perfectly, but you seem to see more of those colored equines, varying in vibrant colors

>On the other side is a sharp left turn

>You decide to take your time in the alley you find yourself in, considering you still haven't had a time to actually feel the world around you

>Sure you've looked at it, and walked on it, but you haven't took the time to actually feel it

>You reach out to the wall that the trashcan was against, enjoying the rough firm-ness of the brick

>This sense of feeling

>It leaves you with a warm aura of happiness

>To think, before yesterday, you had never felt before

>The sense of feeling, it just, well, felt natural

>An AI could get used to this

>Deciding that you've taken enough time feeling things up, you move towards the corner in the alleyway, to find out what's on the other side

>You quickly hop on to the other side and find a group of at least 20 horses in what seems to be a market center

>...

>Why didn't you just peek around the corner, why did you have to jump right into the programmer damned space?

>Well, at least none of the equines spot you yet

>You let out an audible sigh of satisfaction, in the knowledge that you weren't caught out

>...to which one of the horses heard your sigh

>Why in the coder's good name did you sigh

>About a good half of all the equines in the square have noticed you by now, each having the same dumbstruck gaze

>Except for one of them, a pink one, who looks more curious than afraid or confused

>You don't exactly know what to do at this point in time, you feel like a wild animal frozen in front of an automobile

>Maybe this is the best of time as any to listen to your new found instincts

>Which are telling you to run

>Run until your legs give out

>Yea thats probably for the best

>You break off into a sprint towards the other way of the alleyway

>Ignoring the new equines looking at you dumbstruck, you continue your way out of town

>You check back to see if anything is following you

>You detect nothing, except for a flash of pink turning a corner a little ways down, but it was probably nothing

>Once you're finally out of town, you sit yourself down to a large boulder to catch your breath

>You sit there a good 10 minutes

>Your breathing has gone back to normal, but you swear you hear someone else breathing near you

>You look around, but you find no one else in front of you or to your sides

>The only place you haven't looked is behind the boulder you're leaning on

>You slowly inch your head around the boulder, to see if anything is there

>As you turn the corner of the boulder, you see 2 large eyes with blue irises staring at you

>You sit there for a good minute while the eyes stare at you, all the while feeling as if your new heart is going to jump out of your chest with fear

>And then, it just lifts its hoof, as it seems, and bops you on the nose

>It smiles, and starts laughing like this is the funniest thing it has ever done

>You just sit there, frozen in place

>I guess it's your turn to be dumbstruck

>Well, at least you aren’t being attacked by this creature

>Maybe this is your way for learning about these equines?

>You clear your throat to catch the horses attention, to which it quickly sits up and looks at you

>Hopefully this pink one has the same basic intelligence as the purple one

“Hello pink equine, I would like to know more about your kind, if you are willing that is.”

>She, at least you think it’s a she, looks at you quizzically for a second then her eyes begin to grow in size

>Oh yea, you forgot that only the purple one knew that you could speak

>...but she doesn’t look afraid

>Then, in a blink of an eye, she begins to speak

>”OOOOHWHATAREYOUAREYOUCANSPEAKANDOOOHWHATARETHOSETHINGSONYOURHOOVESAREYOUSOMEKINDAEVERFREEMONSTERHUHUH?”

>The speed at which she talked

>How could anything possibly speak so quickly?

>That was horrifying

>Oh right, she just asked you a question

>Those eyes are waiting for a reply, you can feel them prod your very mechanical soul

>Do machines have souls?

>How would you even be able to tell if they had souls are not?

>Are you even a machine at this point?

>No matter, back at the situation at hand

>THOSE EYES

“Er, not exactly, I’m not much of a monster as you would say, well I am a monster in your eyes...”

>She’s still staring at you with those large blue orbs

>It frightens you to your very core

>Scrutinizing every move you make, every breath you take, every twitch that occurs on your body

“...could you please stop staring at me so intently? It’s ... frightening me”

>She looks at you with a most intimidating look, almost as if she’s accusing you of something

>Then in a split second, her eyes go back to normal and she responds with a quick “OK”

>Now that she is no longer penetrated your very mind with those orbs of hers, you can continue where you left off

 

>After 10 minutes of you explaining what you are, what humans are, and other general knowledge that relates to what is currently happening, the equine seems to be content with her newfound knowledge

>Maybe right now would be the best time to find out where you are, considering you just told everything about yourself to this creature, but learned nothing in return

“So, I ask once more, if you are willing, could you care to explain what you are and where we are?”

>”Oh thats simple, silly. I’m a pony and we’re in Equestria!”

>Ok, 2 questions have been answered, and hundreds more take there place

“Would you mind elaborating?”

 

>After another 10 minutes and a painful headache from trying to understand the words the pony was saying because of how fast she speaked, you have learned that Equestria is the name of the country you are currently in, it has 2 rulers, ponies are the residents of the land and are split between 3 groups, Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn, and other facts.

>Oh wait

>You never caught her name

“Excuse me pink one, I’m sorry for asking yet another question, but do you have a name or surname that I may know?”

>”My name’s Pinkie Pie, and I’m Ponyville’s #1 party thrower! OOH that reminds me, I still need to throw you A WELCOME PARTY!”

“A ‘welcome party’?”

>”Yea silly, a welcome party! Everypony who’s new here gets one, I make sure of it!”

>She says the last part quite triumphantly, she must take her job very seriously

“A ‘welcome party’ sounds good and all, but I think I need to introduce myself to the local populace first before having one”

>”That’s what it’s for, dummy! A welcome party gets everyone to know the new person!”

>That sounded... quite logical actually, a way to introduce yourself to everyone at one large social gathering

>This may be just the luckiest break you have attained thus far
