Diamond-Anon 2

>Morning must have come to you first
>Rover, Fido, and Spot are still sound asleep
>You take this golden opportunity to search the house
>The central room you're in has a hallway leading to a closet
>Inside, all there is is a hole filled with water, with light reflecting in
>From what you can see, it looks suspiciously like the bottom of the lake
>Saving that investigation for later, you head down the other hallway
>It splits in three directions, one of which being a door
>One lead to a bathroom, the other to a basic kitchen
>It was wood burning heat all the way around, though you don't see wood lying around
>A hand pump sink, and a some sort of ventilation for smoke on the ceiling
>The bathroom just seemed to run off of already flowing water
>Kind of like ponies stuff, only a little behind without magic streamlining things
>Damn magic, cheating at everything
>Too bad they rely on magic for everything
>With that, you walk back out to the dining/sleeping room, and gather the dishes
>Your hosts have been very kind to you, and you want to repay them at least a little
>Much more than any ponies have done for you in a long time
>...
>Just as you stack on the last clean plate, you hear your hosts start to wake up
>You set it down and walk back in to greet them
Morning guys
>You say as they stretch and rub their eyes
*Groan*Goodmorninganon....
>Rover replies hazily
>Then he realizes what he just said, and snaps awake
Anon! I have so many questions for you!
>By this point, Fido and spot have woken up as well, and they concur with Rover
>And so, the questions begin
"Why were you tied up at the bottom of the lake?"
>Simple
Ponies don't like me, so they think it's ok to drive out a homeless man with force
>
"You... Have no home? What about your kind?"
What kind are there to speak of? I'm not from here, and am the only one of my kind
>You take a breath
Where I come from, there is no such thing as magic, or other sentient creatures. We humans are the dominate life force on our planet, and we've gone far beyond any accomplishments I've seen here
>Fido looks confused
"What is more accomplish than castle on side of mountain?"
>You crack a smile at this
Oh lots. Flying in metal machines that go faster than sound, buildings that reach the skies, metal machines that let us explore the deep oceans, and going to the moon and back without any magic; just to name a few
>Everyone looks stunned
>For good reason. It does sound impressive from their point of view
Tell us, please! Tell us more about your home
>Oh boy
Wow... Where to start....
>You decide to go for broke
Well, I'll start with what kind of people we are as a whole
>...
*Sigh*Honestly we're not a friendly bunch. Most major discoveries are first dedicated to weaponizing it. Speaking of, we have the knowledge and power to destroy the entire planet fifteen times over, in many ways
>They all look shocked
"The whole planet??"
Yes. Humans have always been hot the hot blooded type, always waging wars against something. When stuck without something to fight against, many find it hard to continue
>Pause
But that doesn't mean we are completely violent. People and organizations exist to bring peace, and spread compassion. We help people get on their feet and accomplish things
I think we ultimately want love and respect. We just get at it differently than you might
>You look at your audience and see many almost glazed over looks
But enough on that, let's talk accomplishments!
>That got their attention
We can fly through the air faster than sound, explore the ocean floor without ever touching it, talk with people miles away, and even venture into space.
>Boy does that sound impressive like that
>A look of wonder is plastered all over their faces
>Wait for it....
But how!
>They all squeal at once
Well, first off, we have our basic physics...

>Some time later, and many chalk drawing on the wall, you finish explaining basic principals of physics
>All from memory and knowing how shit works
>Aaannnnd everyone's asleep
>Everyone but Fido, actually
>But he's drifting
"Carbon,...particles.... gasses...."
>Poor guy
>He's trying, but you've clearly left him behind
>As he too succumbs to fatigue, you take a look at his drawing
>...
>A doodle of a bird flying high over the land
>A pretty decent little sketch, actually
>...
>...
>You let them sleep for a couple hours
>Rover is the first to wake up, followed by Fido, then Spot
"Uhhh...."
>Looks like someone feels bad about falling asleep on you
's alright. Pretty heavy material for beginners
>He nods in thanks, then has a realization
"I should take you to the Alpha!!"
"Yes. He likes visitors. Doesn't get many...."
>What
What
"Us diamond dogs have a bad reputation"
>Spot pipes in
>That sounds... plausible
>Nonetheless, you are soon lead out the door and through an insanely complex maze of tunnels
>You couldn't hope to keep track of how many turns you took, or how far you've traveled (linearly)
>You're happy you have your guides to show you the way
>After a few minutes, you reach a large door
"Stay here, we will tell him of your arrival"
>Says Rover, and he and the others step inside
>...
>Moments later, Fido opens the door for you
"Come in, he welcomes you"
>You step through the door
>And see...
