'STACHE BASH, Dapper Mansion on Phoenix Way, Friday Evening

It was Friday evening and as had been promised by the posters earlier this week, that meant party time! The mansion was ready, and the mustaches were ready.

No really, there were theme-appropriate balloons.

All that was needed now were some people to have a good time.

[ooc: OCD up! Come party!]

"Nice mustache," Atton said, because it was too late to back out now. He'd 'Hey, pony'd. "What's up?" Beat. "Does your species actually grow those or not?"

"Thank you! And stallions do, but not mares." Pinkie shrugged. "It seems to be about the same with human people."

"I've never seen a local variety pony with one of those, not that I've been looking," Atton said, shrugging. "I mean, you're obviously not local. More..." Beat. "What planet are you from?"

"That is because ponies around here are boring," Pinkie noted. "They don't talk or come in a wide variety of colors or have cutie marks, either." She tilted her head at his question. It wasn't the first time someone had used the "planet" term, but it still threw her off when she heard it. "I'm from a land called Equestria. Most everypony there is a pony, but we have dragons and griffins and cows and things, too."

The species question was usually the next one on the list.

Well, the species thing didn't throw Atton so much, for obvious reasons. What regular non-sentient animal didn't have a sentient equivalent somewhere else? Honestly.

"You guys all get along?" he asked instead.

"You mean ponies and dragons and griffins and things?" Pinkie asked. "Mostly. And when they don't, my friends and I pitch in with the Elements of Harmony and the power of friendship to help patch things up."

"Of course, that makes perfect sense," Atton said.

It didn't, but he had his brain plugged into a multiversal energy field that symbolized the interconnectedness of all things, he had no room to argue.

"But hey, good on you. Sometimes when you pile a bunch of different species in one place, it doesn't end well."

"Do you spend a lot of time around non-humans, then?" Pinkie asked. Most humans she'd met didn't.

"Yep," Atton said. He shrugged. "My galaxy's full of all kinds of life. It's a little weird being here, where it's 95% humans walking around." Beat. "Oh, and nobody has managed to travel outside of their own solar system. But the species thing is especially weird. You probably get that."

"I think most things about human life is pretty weird," Pinkie agreed. "Though in Equestria we don't really go much farther than the moon, either."

Atton shook his head. "Priorities, people," he said. "There's thousands of planets out there, and some of them sell some pretty nice liquor."

"We're not really done exploring our own world, yet," Pinkie said.
