I was drinking a bit of the strange tasting sour liquid that was the hard apple cider. I was setting down the bottle as Luna levitated it closer to her to muzzle, shakily taking another sip as she blinked away the redness in her eyes. She smiled and looked at me, breaking into another fit of hysterical and maniacal giggling.

"A talking human. A talking HUMAN!!" I covered my ears as she shouted out into the rooms solid marble walls. I freaked out, getting a bit spooked by her reaction. "Who would have guessed that this was possible! AhHAHAHA!" She had narrowed eyes as she hicced with drunk happiness. She turned her head towards me and looked me over.
"I should have guessed you were special, after all, there are no dark skinned humans here!" She had a bit of a crooked smile as she looked me over, noticing my scars as I sat silently and patiently waited for her to calm down enough to speak. She just kept cackling and howling with laughter as I waited. She slowly levitated me a whole new bottle, unopened and full. My stomach became queasy.

"I... I really shouldn't drink much more Princess Luna." I held my stomach at the thought of the drink. I held my stomach and groaned. "I would love to have more, but I can't stand that. Is there anything lighter?" Luna looked amused and surprised, with her eyebrows raised a bit. She lit up her horn and a large selection of apple ciders appeared.
"Oh dear stars what in the hell Luna?!" This burst her into a fit of giggles as she looked over my reaction. The strongest option was the one we had just drank, and the weakest was mild cinnamon cider. I picked one of the stronger ones than the, but not super strong. It was decent, it tasted bitter with a sweet aftertaste. I took a few sips and groaned. "Luna, please promise you won't tell anyone. I still have to figure some things out while I'm here." I was looking at her pleadingly, begging her to agree.

"Hm... Alright..." Yes! I breathed a sigh of relief, smiling suddenly as I held my head. "If you tell me something." My soul died at that thought, and I felt my shoulders slouch. I nodded silently and defeatedly. "You are intelligent. How?" She tilted her drunken head.

"I was born in another world where humans are the dominant intelligent species and animals like ponies are not able to speak. They're like livestock." I spoke blatantly, clearly, and lifelessly. She looked a bit shocked, but generally was unaffected until a few minutes later, after i swigged thd bottle, she responded by levitating me into the air and throwing me onto her bed, keeping my arms pinned to my sides as she aggressively stomped towards me.

"You say that ponies are treated as livestock?!" I immediately regretted speaking those words.

"To be fair, I had a similar reaction to finding that humans here are treated as... Well everything except equals." I gently tried to resist the magic hold, but she used it to clamp around my neck. I went as stiff and as limp as I could. It felt tight, but not enough to suffocate. "Princess, you're hurting me- Ngh!" She tightened when I spoke, glaring down at me drunkenly as I looked up at her with panicked eyes.

"Silence. You will not speak." I gasped out and struggled a bit, holding my hands around my throat, trying to kick. She raised an eyebrow and blinked, shaking her head a bit and letting me go. "I'm sorry I'm a bit of an angry drunk..." She sighed. I sat up quietly as she levitated me another bottle of hard cider, opening it and setting it in my lap as she levitated me to a sitting position. I took a few more swigs and gulped it down.

In about an hour, I had drank so much apple cider that I was having trouble seeing straight. The princess had made me drink with her until she passed out, and I dragged myself out the door along the wall. I was fogged with my thoughts. I fell to my knees, and hiccupped, holding a half empty jug with disheveled hair. I looked like one of the drunkards that wasted their paycheck at Wench's bar. It was quite the sight for the night guards as they watched me go by looking increasingly concerned. I was clicking in beak language, something about cider. I can't remember. My stomach churned, and I leaned over the edge of the closest balcony I could find, and I hurled up whatever I could. It didn't help much, but at least I don't feel as bad. My stomach settled enough for me to walk around without having to worry about throwing up again. I stumbled into Fylakas's and Rues room- which also happened to be where Slasher was sleeping, groaning as I slid down the wall. Fylakas was the object of the two in getting his hair brushed. He seemed to enjoy it, but my stumbling in ruined the moment.

"You've been DRINKING?!" Slasher's crest fluffed up as Rue closed the door and put a soundproof spell on the room. I felt my body become weightless, and that made my stomach churn. Fylakas ran up and looked me over fearfully.

"Luna... Made.. Me drink... After monster attacked... Hrngh!" I covered my mouth as I stumbled to the trashcan. I sat there, unable to hold my contents any longer. I coughed up some gross bile and whined, leaning my head back to stare at the ceiling. I felt something wrap around my neck as I looked wearily around. I assume that it was a collar. Or something of the sort.

"Did anyone see you? Did they hear you talk?" Rue was looking frightened as I shook my head. She cast a spell on my body, soothing my body of the feeling of the alcohol. I wasn't sober, but I was definitely better than I was two minutes ago. She sighed at me, levitating the bottle close to her, reading the label. "Oh my god! This- this is poisonous for humans!" Slasher began to panic when I blinked.

"All alcohol is poisonous for humans... Even back in my world. I wouldn't have drank if Luna hadn't been so intimidating as she got drunk..." I held my head and let out a groan. Fylakas lifted me up and set me on his bed. There were two in the room- one for Rue and Slasher, a queen size, and one big enough for one human, a twin, maybe with a second if done right.

"Just uh... Just get to sleep. We'll talk in the morning." He clicked for Rue to teleport the hard cider away and hide it. She did so, and I blacked out after that, unable to hold on to reality.
