Though she did not know it yet, this wasn’t the first time she had lost her world to the curse of death and darkness. A survivor of the apocalypse not once, but twice. But much like before, she is simply leaning against the wall, hand held to her head. Tears never formed, no matter how great the pain had been. In fact, it seemed like the pain had always existed, and it was just another memory to her. That didn’t mean she wasn’t sad. No, that frown and her eyes were pleading that all of this was some kind of sick and twisted joke. And when she found the one pulling the strings and ended this, she could go back with Isamu and Naoki, plan for college and her future. Signs of that happening however were nowhere to be seen. Finally she looks up, giving a small sigh. Neither tears nor rage dwelled within, unable to even be processed in her anymore. She was numb, yet Chiaki couldn’t help but feel something familiar about all of this…

Fluttershy raised a hoof, then ducked her head and shook it slowly.

"No, No you haven't. I know you must have not seen a talking pony but humans are just as new to me."

She sighed, leaning back against the wall, hand held against her head. Now she wished all of this had been some kind of nightmare, or crack hallucination of something, though the latter would certainly earn the wrath of her folks. Looks like neither was coming true either, and that's what frustrated her the most.

"If you came when I was still a child, you might have received a better welcome," she muttered, closing her eyes. "I suppose this would fare better than meeting whoever did all of this."

Fluttershy crept up closer and tilted her head, "Why could coming when you were a child have helped...I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

Chiaki shakes her head. "Forget it, it's a childish thing. You have no need to apologize."

Fluttershy tilted her head, "A child is a filly, right? A younger version."

She nods. "In a sense, yes."

"I know I'm probably strange to you. Most humans don't think I can or should talk. Fillies believe in strange things. Is that what you meant?"

[highonpower.livejournal.com]

"Actually, yes. Creatures like you are...nonexistent and merely fairytales. You can see why I was a bit skeptical earlier before."

And as it dawns upon her that she's still talking to a talking pony...she still wonders if insanity has hit her yet. But that wasn't the case here.

"Well I'd had never heard of humans before...So you have a headstart?"

Fluttershy tried to smile a little, but she felt strange being compared to a fillytale.

"Those are just tales. They can't tell me anything specific regarding someone like you," she explained. "Besides, those were while I was still a child, and I have forgotten most of it aside titles."

"Oh...sorry for assuming then."
