Anon, seasoned alcoholic, wakes up in Equestria. The culprit, Purple, has no way to send him home. Figures.
Purple has connections however, and a hefty donation from the crown helps keep his silence, so not to ruin Purple's upcoming career. It goes to two places.

A house, and things to drink. Anon, a seasoned alcoholic, spends most of his time discovering new imports, or discussing preferences with Berry Punch. He gets along well enough with the other Ponyville ponies, including the Elements, but doesn't get up to much.

Or didn't. He's getting some weird looks for his roommate -- and the Elements are running around warning about this 'Chrysalis' on the loose somewhere around Ponyville for the last few months. No matter how much Twilight tries to refine her Changeling-Tracker spell, it can't seem to zone in any further than 'Somewhere in Ponyville'. Not that Anon knows anything about that.

He just smiles, sharing a bottle with his roomie, Crackle Cosette. A decently newish arrival to the town, she settled in well enough. She's not too interested in drink, though. She has another thing she likes to consume, mostly from him after he's had a few. Not that he minds. He's got a thing for those piercing green eyes of hers.
