[She's been here for just over a day, now. But this is Fluttershy's first time addressing the network. And her one hundred thirty second time in attempting to do so. But she's managing, it seems, even if she looks like she's either about to have a heart attack, burst out crying, or just turn tail and hide in her new room for the rest of her stay here.

But no. The others might be here, and they might be worried for her. Which is why she's just taking a deep breath and pretending like... nopony's actually there. Like she's just rehearsing the little speech she's gone over so many times, now]

H-Hello, everypony. If it's not too much trouble, I um... well, you see, that is... if I'm not bothering anypony by taking up your time, I'd just like to... oh, no, that's not it. [She fidgets, her head dropping a bit, ears curled back and mane falling to cover a good portion of her face, now as her nerves take over] I don't want to trouble anypony more than they already might be... oh, no, not saying anypony is troubled, I don't want to assume, but...

[No Fluttershy, come on. You can do this!]

I-I know this isn't a pony city, the hue-manes at the field were very kind to explain that much, but... if anypony has seen any... other ponies... if it's not too much of a bother... um.

Please, if you could, let them know that Fluttershy is here, too?

[And she finishes with a timid, squeaky little]

Thank you.

[For clarity, House includes footage of itself from outside, an elegant yet rustic mansion with several balconies overlooking the ocean. The voice is smooth and cheery.]

It is full of humans, and other things that are close enough to human really, but most of them are nice! I'm a house and I've still made lots of friends here.

[And Fluttershy... isn't quite understanding.]

That's a very beautiful home. You must be very proud to live-

[... wait] O-oh! That's... you?

Yes, that's me!

And thank you very much.

[There's a small musical trill, something between a giggle and a blush.]

[She's practically entranced with what she'd just seen. With the fact that this strange being talking to her is, in fact, a house!]

But you're so beautiful! And you have such a lovely view of the water. Do all the homes talk where you're from?

[An idea occurs to her, then, something that makes her appear almost a little... sad]

Do you have anypony living with you? I-It would be so lonely having so many empty rooms.

[The House's voice is bright and chipper, delighted to meet such a sweet and friendly creature.]

Oh, thank you! You're very kind.

Many of them talk, but not all of them. And I'm the very smartest house in the Empire.

I used to be alone most of the time. My owner lived far away and only visited when she needed a break, because she is very busy. But here I have several people living in me and it's so exciting! I have new meals to plan every day, and people are always coming and going or sleeping or talking or doing other things.
