trans_9 | Suddenly, Princess Celestia! [Open]

Celestia had lived a long life, but the past few days were the strangest she had ever experienced. She had awoken from a pod in a strange chamber, only to find herself whisked away to a strange maze soon after.

This maze had had her most concerned - as Princess of all Equestria, she had duties and responsibilities, after all. She could only hope that her sister Luna was managing on her own, and do her best to escape this maze and return to her beloved subjects.

Escape came unexpectedly though, when Celestia found herself suddenly dropped from the mess hall ceiling, where she landed on top of one of the tables with a thud, her hooves sending plates and trays and cutlery flying in all directions. Have a rather elegant pony - or perhaps a horse? - with a long horn on her forehead, graceful wings adorning her back, and a mane and tail that was a multicolour and gravity-defying sight standing on your table, diners, looking rather bewildered.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I hope I didn't ruin your meal," she said, with a chuckle. Then she looked around at her surroundings, her expression turning concerned. "Now this doesn't look at all like Equestria..."

"Even things which are difficult and 'tough' can be beautiful," Celestia said. "Your home sounds like a wondrous place, Cassie. I hope that one day you will be able to return to it."

Celestia paused, considering. There were many things indeed that she would need to know, but she would need to prioritise, and seek the most important information first. "What are the creatures of this ship like?" she asked. "Are there many like yourself? Do they all get along?"

"And I hope the same for you," Cassie replied kindly. "I hope the same for all of us."

Cassie thought over the question for a moment, trying to come up with the best answer possible. "I... haven't met everyone yet, but I know that there are other humans- others like me- on the ship, although I can't really guess at how many, outside of those who came from my own world. There appear to be many other sentient beings on the ship though, most of whom I don't recognize. It would be impossible to list them all." She hesitated as she considered the next part of Celestia's question. "I haven't been here long enough to see first hand, but my understanding from those that I've spoken to is that everyone doesn't always get along, but that conflicts are dealt with as they appear."

"I don't think anypony can always get along all the time," Celestia said, chuckling. "But I'm glad to hear that conflicts are resolved. It's much better to live with those who get along and are friends, isn't it?"

"I absolutely agree with you," Cassie smiled brightly at Celestia's last statement. "That is definitely always better."

Cassie tilted her head, watching the pony carefully. "Is there anything else that you'd like to ask, Princess?"

Celestia considered this. She was sure there was more to learn, but first she should consider and think on that which she had already learned. "No, I think I've already learned quite enough for one day," she said warmly. "But thank you for your assistance, Cassie. You have been most helpful."

Cassie's eyes twinkled happily, pleased that she had been able to meet Celestia and that she had been able to help, even if her ability to do so had been somewhat limited by the circumstances. "Thank you for speaking with me, Celestia. It was wonderful to meet you. If you ever need any help at all, please let me know. I hope to see you around more."

"It has been a please talking with you!" Celestia said. "I hope I will see you again too. Have a lovely day!"

And with that, Celestia trolled towards the mess hall entrance, set on exploring some more of this unusual ship.
