Writing this one alone today.  Well, not exactly alone, but I'm not back at the base for it.  There's a good reason for that.

I, uh.  Well.  I packed up my things just in case I actually found something and wanted to take a picture or the like of it, to prove a point.  And I hunted the signal a little more.

I was not expecting to find more pony-like life forms.

Okay, so, as we've noticed, everyone has their own coloring.  That didn't stop being true for these guys.  The one with a horn is violet with a blue mane and tail, and green eyes.  The one with wings is orange, with a yellow mane and tail, and also green eyes.  The regular pony is red, with a blue mane and tail, and blue eyes.

Every single one of them has a mark on their butt - Sorry, I've just been informed it's a flank.  Also, the correct terms for them all are unicorn, pegasus, and 'earth pony'.

...Yes, I am making a log of this.  Did you think I wouldn't?

...So that the others will believe me.

...Yes, there are others around here.

Anyways!

It took me most of the day to convince them that I wasn't going to hurt them.  It didn't help that they'd apparently seen me tooling around with Dom the other day.  Apparently all ponies are skittish around...whatever he's turned into.  I had to spend hours assuring them that I was myself.  Which mentally raises a few warning bells as to what Dom's turned into in my mind.

Still, I noticed that they had fresh food and water, and when I asked where they got it from, they clammed up.

...Oh?  Okay.  Apparently they'll be willing to tell us when I lead them back to the others tomorrow.  Which is promising.

...I asked them about the rune circles I've been seeing around, and they said that they were responsible, but that they'd tell me about it tomorrow as well.  There's a lot of things they'll have to cover tomorrow, apparently.  I hope...actually, I can just make a list.

...What?  You all don't make a list of important things so that you don't forget them?

...That's what I thought.  And my memory's not that great to begin with.  I was getting better about it before I became this.  Anyways, that list.

Okay, runic circles, where they're getting the fresh food from, oh, and what they're even doing here to begin with.  Check, check, and check.  Okay!  So tomorrow, you three are going to tell us a lot of things.

Get some sleep.  It's relatively safe out here, and if something bothers us, I'll wake up and deal with it.
