You didn’t regret leaving Earth. It’s not like you left anything behind. You had no job, no home, no friends or family to turn to. With no real options, for some reason, you got the urge to just pick a direction and start walking. And walking. And walking. You walked for days, until finally you couldn’t walk anymore, and passed out in the dirt. When you woke up, you were in a realm called ‘Equestria’.
It didn’t take long for you to integrate into this new society. While the ponies were a bit shocked and confused when you first stumbled into town, they quickly accepted you once they realized you were harmless. You were more shocked by the sight of the ponies then they were by you, in fact. They were similar to humans, but ultimately, they were like nothing you’d ever seen before. Their fur was fine as silk, with each individual strand of fur being almost invisible to the naked eye, giving them the illusion of having perfect, unblemished skin. Their hair seems to ignore the laws of physics, allowing them to pull off any hairstyle they desire with little to no effort. Some could fly effortlessly through the air; some had powers of telekinesis; some had superhuman strength and endurance. Most curiously, however, is the fact that there seems to be no taboo against public nudity in their society. The ponies walk around town in various stages of dress, a large majority of them being half-naked, if not completely so. It made every interaction you had with the strange creatures incredibly uncomfortable, considering some of their distinctly, er… human features.
You couldn’t really blame them, though, considering you were completely naked yourself. Clothes were considered a luxury in this world, and as such, they were prohibitively expensive for a vagrant like you. But you’ve decided that you were going to change that. You’ve travelled this this town all the way from Baltimare because you’ve heard that the burgeoning town of Ponyville was a land of opportunity. This was the town, you’ve decided, where you would stake your claim and make something out of your life in this magical realm. But first, you needed to get your foot in the door. In a distributist economy like Equestria’s, this would likely mean picking up some odd jobs under craftsmares to save up some bits. However, considering Ponyville is a relatively small town where everyone seemed to know each other, asking around and forging connections would also be beneficial.
