[ Hello, Fortuna! Recorded greetings from a very congenial personified special administrative region are here to greet you today. Macau is seated quite calmly in front of his communicator though if one looked closely they might notice just how perfectly centered he is in the shot and just how spotless his glasses and clothing are. He's put a lot of work into this! ]

Bom dia, Fortuna. [ Of course with the Portuguese; he can't help himself. ] I want to take the time to welcome all of our new residents and state that I can hardly await the pleasure of meeting each and every one of you in person. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything that you require to make your stay more comfortable.

... Thank you. [ Alright, so the end is a little flat; he should've planned that better. But it's the best he's got! And with that he'll give a slight bow before smiling and clicking off the camera. ]

Thank you! I'm actually glad to be back!

澳門叔叔, do you have any casinos here? Or can I help you count the cash?

[On the screen is a seventeen year old boy with brown eyes, which look like... a certain someone else's. That long blue and pink hair tied back in a low ponytail (which reaches the middle of his back) also strikes resemblance to a certain someone.]

[eastmontecarlo]

What an excellent attitude to have.

[ "叔叔"...? ]

Ah... I'm afraid you won't find much "cash" here. Perhaps we should start with introductions, first, though you appear to already know my name. [ Surely it can't be, can it...? ]

[elegant_generosity]

If you really wish to make my stay more comfortable, could you please direct me to the nearest spa? Surely a dump like this has at least that.

Of course I know and you know me, or... you will. I'll go ahead and say my name anyway. I'm Yuèyǐng Wang, but people call me Cravat too sometimes.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Hellooo, talking pony. ]

A spa? I apologize, madam, I haven't heard of any such facility in the area. If you need a place to stay for a while, however, I'm willing to offer you my home. [ He is so chill with this. ]

[eastmontecarlo]

It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you prefer to be addressed by the former name or the latter?

[applejacked]

Jumpin' jackrabbits, do you wanna tell a girl what's goin' on here?

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Another pony! He is fascinated by this. ]

Absolutely. I would be glad to answer any of your questions. This is a planet called Fortuna, and you have been brought here by a group of scientists.

Oh, I apologize. My name is Macau.

[applejacked]

Gosh almighty, Mr. Macau, that sure is a tall tail if I ever did hear one.

[eastmontecarlo]

Ahahaha, it is, isn't it? I'm sorry if that's inconvenient for you, but I'll do my best to help you become adjusted to this place. May I ask your name?

[allneonlike]

Yeah, I've really missed everyone I know.

( Smile. )

I'm Yuki Kuran by the way, perhaps you've met the human me?

[applejacked]

You sure can. I'm Applejack, of Sweet Apple Acres! It's real nice to meet'cha, Mr. Macau.

Yuèyǐng is fine with me, plus it'd probably flow more easily on your tongue. [He's switched to Cantonese.]

[eastmontecarlo]

Human?

I'm afraid I don't believe I've yet had the pleasure.

[eastmontecarlo]

Thank you, Yuèyǐng, that's very considerate. [ And he switches with no difficulty as well. ]

Am I correct in assuming that you are the son of someone very close to me? [ Could such a thing be possible in a place like this? Clearly it must be, if he's here at all. ]

[eastmontecarlo]

You're very polite, thank you.

Might I ask also where you're from originally, Miss Applejack?

[applejacked]

There's a question I don't get asked an awful lot. Why, I'm from Equestria, of course!

[allneonlike]

A-Ah never mind then.

video

[chinesesweets]

That's right. I'm your nephew. I'm sure you can tell by my hair whose son I am.

[eastmontecarlo]

But I would love to meet you now, Miss Yuki.

My name is Macau; please pardon my rudeness.

[eastmontecarlo]

I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive my previous incredulity... It's simply very sudden, for me.

Though this is certainly a time for celebrating. I only wish to welcome you, even if returning to this time might be a little difficult for you. [ In the back of his mind he still questions the prudence of China having a child so soon, but then Macau is very much the type to focus on appearances like that. Though perhaps it wasn't so soon after all; he hadn't asked just where and when this boy had come from. ]

[eastmontecarlo]

I'm not familiar with it, myself. Individuals from all different places are brought here, so that's often a problem we come across.

I would love to see it, however.

[applejacked]

Leapin' lilypads, mister. You don't know what'cher missin'! But if what you're tellin' me is true, we sure are in a pickle. I don't suppose you've seen anypony like me hangin' around, now have ya?
