Captain's Travels

The sailor stood there trapped like an over-sized rat in a door shaped hole. Head struggled against the wooden frame flailing his arms comically in a vain attempt to get free, but to no avail. For several minutes he sat there until the purple unicorn's horn flared, and a sensation not unlike freefalling several stories encased him. He could see the dumb animal try to pull him out of the frame. Before he could shake his head in disapproval however, he was free. Of course he could've gotten free at anytime but he simply had to allow this creature a sense of satisfaction.

To his surprise neither of the two vicious beasts before him seemed to fear him as the purple horse did last night. Also their faces seemed to be contorted into some sort of perverse, pained grimaces. Slowly he saw the horse raise a purple hoof, slowly he mirrored its gestures left, right, up, down. He could see the apprehension in the horses face as it extended its appendage. Slowly he proceeded to extend his own hand balled it into a fist, and bumped his against hers, he could see a look of confusion on its face once he had concluded.

Slowly he heard it speak, it spoke loudly, and slowly adding extra emphasis to every syllable it uttered. "Hello my name is Twilight Sparkle, I don't wish to hurt you. Can you understand me?" The man listened as the horse drawled on, he could make out several words that appeared to be English. With how the animal was speaking however he couldn't understand much of the language.

Slowly he gestured to himself and said, "Yo soy un Capitan, pendeja, y por que vas hablando como si estas atrazada?" [I am a Captain, dumbass, and why are you talking as if you're retarded?]

"Captain?" the lavender horse asked.

"Si Capitan." [Yes Captain.]

"Hey Twilight I think that's his name," said the small purplish lizard to the horses right.

"Capitan?" it asked again

"Si Captain," he said presenting himself once more. [Yes Captain, el dijo presentando se otra vez]

"See, told ya that's his name," spoke the lizard once again. Clearly the brighter of the two.

Turning to the purple reptile Captain spoke, "Dime lagartija, donde estoy?" [Tell me lizard, where am I?]

"Awww I think he likes you Spike."

"Quick, gimme an apple I wanna see if he'll eat it out of my hand," said the reptile with glee.

"Alright but just one."

Captain saw as the purple horse floated an apple over to its small reptilian master, and gingerly placed it into its hands. The lizard held out the apple, taking this as a peace offering Captain grabbed the fruit from the animal's hand, and while ignoring the snickers, began to munch on the apple.

"Come on we've got to show this guy to the rest of the gang quick," said the little lizard, "they're never going to believe this thing fell out of the sky."

Captain happily scarfed down the rest of the apple oblivious to the happenings around him. Only now did he notice how hot it was becoming and decided to remove his plastic gloves, jacket, and pants. Suddenly he began his strip tease ignoring the looks from the two in front of him. Firstly he removed his black latex gloves. Removing his jacket, revealed a faded brown t-shirt, and upon the removal of his pants, a pair of grease stained blue jeans took their place. Placing his hatchet into one of his belt loops he struck an awkward pose. Hoping to gain a nod of approval from the two before him

"Dear sweet Celestia he can shed his skin. This is amazing," the purple horse pulled out a quill and parchment from someplace and began to scribble down notes.

"Or you know, it could just be his clothes." Replied the lizard flatly.

Captain placed a hand upon his chin, and pushed in the opposite direction collecting a series of audible pops. When he tried to repeat it with the other side, the headphone connecting to his phone was now playing this Only now did he notice the slightly disgusted looks on both creatures faces.

Twilight sat there as the creature struggled against the doorframe, for several minutes its arms flailing against the oaken frame. Once this pitiful sight had amused her sufficiently, she enveloped the beast in her magic, and pulled it loose. Plastering a large, totally convincing smile upon Spike and herself, she proceeded to raise a hoof and scratch her nose.

What she saw amazed her, the creature before her very eyes had begun to mimic her movement's up, down, left, right. Next she extended her hoof in hopes that It would take it. It did, and one complicated set of gestures later she was in awe of the beast.

Slowly she spoke, adding emphasis to each word, "Hello my name is Twilight Sparkle, I don't wish to hurt you. Can you understand me." She heard it speak, and gesture to itself, but couldn't place the language, one word did stand out to her though "Captain"

"Captain?" She asked

Something "Captain" again.

"Hey Twilight I think that's his name." Added Spike.

"Captain?"

Again "Captain" this time it gestured to itself.

"See told ya that was his name," said Spike as the creature turned to face him.

More gibberish

"Awww spike I think he likes you Spike."

"Quick, gimme an apple I wanna see if he'll eat it out of my hand," said Spike with a twinkle in his eye.

"Alright but just one," said Twilight levitating an apple to the young dragon.

Extending a claw, Spike held the apple out to the beast. After a few of quizzical looks, the creature took the fruit from the young drake, giggling like a schoolfilly all the while.

"Come on we've got to show this guy to the rest of the gang quick," said the small dovah, "they're never going to believe this guy fell out of the sky."

Twilight only stared as the creature began to remove his hands followed by his green carapace, and finally his legs. Beneath the green exterior was some brown and blue. But this too appeared not to be completely attached to the creature. His skin was a light brown, with an unkempt black mane atop his head. She saw scars running along the back of his hands, and a small scar below his nose. Copper rimmed glasses adorned his face. He appeared to place his tool into a loop on its lower half, and proceeded to strike a pose.  Poofing a quill and parchment to her from the next room over, she began to furiously scribble down each and every detail of his very being.

"Dear sweet Celestia he can shed his skin. This is amazing," Twilight exclaimed.

"Or you know, that could just be his clothes." Replied the Spike flatly.

The two turned their heads to look at the creature, its head bent at an unhealthy angle, and pops resonating from the center of his neck. He tried to repeat this with the other side of its head, but was stopped by a wire attached to his ear. Twilight looked over to Spike, who didn't seem to share her disgust, but had started to cheer Captain on.

"Go. Go. Go." Shouted Spike, now lost in the moment.

"Well that's disgusting. Any other nasty tricks you feel like sharing?" To which Captain replied by belching, farting, and scratching his ass, all punctuated by a relived sigh.

Subject appears to succumb to base urges easily, and presents rudimentary thought processes. Judging from his attire, his species has can manipulate plastics and metals with relative ease. Further research must be conducted in order to determine what language the subject speaks, and to see if 'CAPTAIN' can be successfully integrated into society, and to see if he poses a signifigant threat to anypony here.

Gesturing a hoof to the door Twilight beckoned Captain outside.

Twilight looked into Captain's face, contorted into a scowl, his glasses had darkened considerably, and the shadows drawing across his face enunciated his intimidation. When he walked he kept half a step behind the purple pair, head whipping back and forth, chest out, shoulders apart, and a good stride also ensured nopony looked at him twice.

Captain was happy as a clam. His transition lenses had already begun to block out the sun's harsh rays.  He was sure the frown perma-plastered across his face wouldn't distract too much, despite the fact that he was the only human on the planet by the looks of it. The population of this place didn't seem to differ much mostly horses, some with horns others with wings, but mostly ones with neither. The creatures of this planet kept a brisk pace and he rushed a bit to keep up with them. Soon enough though the trio had reached their destination a large house which appeared to be made of gingerbread.
