[It's that time again, Luceti! Time for the cartoonishly proportioned, brightly colored, and talking pegasus to make a speech over the journals. And, given her smug little smirk, she must be pretty eager about it.]

Hey, Luceti! Remember my last entry about my super awesome club for non hue-mans? Well, it's still in the works. I know some of you guys expressed interest before, so I figured I'd get the word out again.

And why? Because the Standout Crowd is totally gonna be coolest group around. So if you're feeling left out or tired of getting stared at for being different, don't sweat it! That's what we're here for.

And right now, I figure we can square some space away in the Battle Dome. I mean, we can make just about anything in there, so why not? The sky's the limit, and if you ask me, that's a good thing.

Soooo... yeah! Thoughts? Questions? And for all you hue-mans out there, don't take it personally. Juuust remember that you guys aren't the only ones hanging around the village and at least try not to freak out about it. Seriously.

... what if you look human but really aren't?

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

That's one of those grey areas that keeps coming up, buuut I'm not gonna say no to somebody like that.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Are you sure it's okay? I wouldn't want to intrude or anything...

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Well, the club's mostly for those of us that stand out, but it's not like you showing up would hurt anybody.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

'Stand out'? What do you mean by that?

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Uh, like me. I'm a pony, which kinda sticks out compared to all the hue-mans around. Makes things really tough, too.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, I guess it would. Maybe I've just been here for so long that talking to a pony doesn't seem strange at all to me. That's one of the neat things about this place.

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Yeah, some people are pretty cool about it, but then you've got some hue-mans who just can't get used to talking ponies. They're probably too new or something.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Or maybe they don't have anything like that in their world to begin with, so it seems extra-weird to them.

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Yeah, probably. I mean, we don't have hue-mans in Equestria, so it's still weird to be surrounded by 'em.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

If you don't have humans, what do you have? Just animals?

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Think of it this way. Your world's probably full of hue-mans, so... replace every single hue-man with a pony.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

So you have animals likes ours, and ponies instead of humans. That actually sounds kind of neat. I wouldn't mind visiting a world like that.

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Can't blame ya! Equestria's a pretty sweet place. Luceti's not too bad, but I definitely miss hanging around Ponyville.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... so if you're all ponies, do your buildings just not have doorknobs?

[It was a logical leap in his mind, okay.]

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Nah, we've got doorknobs and handles. They're not too hard to work with hooves.

[It's cartoon logic. You learn to roll with it.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

...

[Give him a moment while he tries to figure this out.]

[Voice]

[wannabolt]

Uh, you still there?

[Man, did she break his brain or something?]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Sorry, I was just trying to figure out how that works.
