A point in time is established. The location in space-time on the other hoof is a little wonky.
So how long do we think it will be till everypony will see her for what she really is, human, all the time.
This is intriguing.

Clarkes 3rd law. Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who dont understand it. Florence Ambrose, Bowmans Wolf. Freefall Engineer.
Oh look, theres Sam the Space Squid.
The Canine Mage is running a holodeck at least. The appartment building still has part of its transitional pathway still intact. How do random tenants end up in rooms that dont eat them when the keys are selected at random at the desk?
This seems out of sequence, she returns to her room then all of a sudden she's talking about not pushing in & going to the next door...to what? Should that be other end or other side?

7438514 She returned to her room, but didn't enter it. She was in front of her door, stopped, went to another door. Squid!

Interesting story so far, and I'm eager as always to see where you're going to take it.
Tabitha accepted being called Tabby by a tenant with seemingly no concerns. It makes me wonder if she's always been cool with it, or if the force of harmony is already working on her.
The flying space squid is very HP Lovecraft, so it's probably just as well that she managed to get the door closed in time and didn't re-open it to check or we might be in search of a new protagonist already.

The tenant on the 2nd floor must work for Blizzard.
[science] Actually it would be blown out into it. [/science]
7438528 Just me again and the way I read it I guess, sorry.
7438574 The typos reported were correct, and you aren't bothering me, promise.
7438541 I will argue that while yes, it is technically the out-rush of air that pushes you out, it is initiated by the undeniable fact that vacuum sucks! OBJECTION! I move that, that is NOT a typo on the basis that it is the sucking of the vacuum that initiates the pushing of the air!
7438541 Typos repaired, with a bonus one found! Welcome to Tabitha's story. The more I write of her, the more I like her and her struggles. I hope this isn't just me.
I'm glad to see you here. We have rooms available. There's no discrimination against lunars here, and we may even work out a discount for your typo nomming habits.
7438541 Me thinks "Tabby" has developed affections towards Razz already, no mention how long her and her building have been there at this point. The Tabitha I knew when I was younger that I'd made friends with didn't mind me calling her Tabby. She got stroppy when others said it though, I got closer to her than I thought at the time I guess, Thirty plus years on & still miss her, shame their family moved away.
Got told off many years ago for explaining the 4 stroke internal combustion engine cycle as Suck-Push-Bang-Blow for same reasons in high school power tech class. After boring lecture explaining this to us I asked the teacher "Then where do we use the word 'suck'? Otherwise we'd have to call it Push-Push-Bang-Blow which sounds stupid." After a moment of confusion on his face he pipes up "When writing fiction!" Yeah, right. The moral of this memory is 'Don't mess with the story when it sounds good by getting all tek-ee-nickel about it.'
(This anecdote was my silly mode not my serious mode, just poking fun, please don't take offense)
7438681 There is no suck. When you think you're doing so, you create a vaccuum and your drink pushes up to you. You don't suck at all. It's a lie, much like the cake.
7438686 I hold that it is the suck that initiates the push. Gods in hell, this is the pun that keeps on giving!

And since I'm feeling silly and pedantic at the moment, I'd like to point out that a 'blow' is also a 'push' i.e. a pressure differential flowing from higher pressure to lower pressure. So it's push, push, bang, push.
7438708 Isn't it the silly things we get caught up on?
7438686
7438729 Not the first time I razzed up that particular teacher on things I caught him out on. That push, push, bang, push would have worked even better. I could have told him he sucked ( or is that blowed...second thoughts, NO! sucked is correct there) but I didn't want a journey to the principals office.

Tabitha is a likeable and relatable character so far. Reading about her adapting to life in magic pony land is going to be fun.
This seems to be happening far in advance of Silver's ascension and coronation, so my original idea, that the spell keeping Tabitha and other 'aliens' from appearing to ponies as they are until the ponies get to know them well enough for the spirit of harmony and friendship to take root, was Silver's idea to keep things just a little calmer with new guests appearing all the time, is a bust.
So now we wait and see what exactly is going on here.
I suspect that the apartment building is in flux and unoccupied apartments are in a state of flux until Tabitha rents them out at which point the quantum uncertainty collapses and the room becomes exactly what the tenant needs it to be. Ensuring that she will eventually have a building of happy tenants. It's a far kinder situation than the text has provided for folks that have taken something so grand along with them, than we have ever seen.
So her apartments can contain pocket dimensions? That'll be extra!
Keep going! ;)
