friendyousohard: Unsure looking Twilight. (Erm... are you sure about this Pinkie?)

1st Spell: [Video]

Er... I think this is how it works.

Um... greetings. Er... I mean, hello. Or... well, whatever humans say in a situation like this. Is there proper etiquette for when you've been captured to another planet and had your species changed?

[Twilight is interrupted by a Dratini sticking his head into the camera, curious.]

Spike, cut that out. Um... and if the other Spike is seeing this, I promise, I named him after you, he's not a replacement.

Speaking of people listening to this, can anypony tell me if there is an Applejack, a Fluttershy, a Rarity, a Rainbow Dash, or a Pinkie Pie around? They're all very close friends of mine and I'd very much like to get in touch with them. As for me, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

I guess that's all I have for now...

Wait, no. One more question. How do you humans walk with two legs? I feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face!

Terrific! It'll take me a bit of time to catch up on common information around here, but I'll work as quickly as I can.

[She gives a laugh.]

Tis no rush, Twilight Sparkle.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not, but I'm still going to work as quickly as I can.

[Because, really, what else does she have to do?]

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
If that is what thou wishes.

[Point.]

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Surely you didn't expect anything different.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
From what Celestia has said about thou? We would be surprised if thou was not ready to learn about this new world.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, what can I say? It's what I do.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
And we can not say we art not grateful for that fact.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Erm, grateful? I'm not entirely certain I understand.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She raises an eyebrow.]

It t'was thou who came across the Elements of Harmony and Nightmare Moon in thou's studies, was it not? Or am I mixing thou up with the other Element of Magic?

[Yeah, she's totally teasing you.]

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... right, of course. Sorry, I just... I find it so strange when somepony thanks me for that, especially of your, ah... stature. I just did what I thought I had to do. And I would have messed it all up if the others hadn't insisted on coming along.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Pray tell, what is so strange about it? Thou hast saved us from ourselves. Tis nothing to be taken lightly.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well... if you think about it logically, I suppose it isn't strange. It's just... I don't know if I can explain it properly. I know, intellectually, why you feel that way, and I consider it an honor to have helped you like that. But I don't... feel like the mare that broke the curse of Nightmare Moon, at least most of the time. Does that make any sense?

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives a nod.]

We suppose in a certain way it does. Though, we art curious. In what manner doth thou not think thou is the same Twilight Sparkle that saved us?

[In short... yes, but no.]

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
The mare who liberated you from the influence of Nightmare Moon and saved Equestria is a heroine. I... I'm just a librarian, the biggest claim to importance I have is being Princess Celestia's student. I find it difficult to reconcile the two.

[In short? She just plain doesn't have the self-esteem to see herself as a global heroine. Which... might be a good thing, really, I mean that's one heck of an ego.]

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Be that as it may, thou is the same mare who has accomplished all that. Tis something thou must deal with.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to, but I've been finding it difficult to research the subject. [That might have been a joke.]

... Do you have any advice? [Because, really, if anypony knows how to deal with something like that it's the princesses.]

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'll give you a smile for your efforts. However, her smile turns a bit sad as she considers what to say.]

We believe our situations are a bit different, Twilight Sparkle. Thou hast done wondrous things that have done nothing but help Equestria. We... hath not.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
That isn't true. If nothing else, ignoring all the daily duties of a Princess and your rule over the night, you defeated Discord and liberated all of Equestria.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. But thou must remember... t'was before we attempted to control Equestria in an eternal night.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't change the fact that you did it. Equestria owes a lot to you. And I don't believe for a second that that's the only selfless thing you've done for the ponies who look to you and Celestia for guidance.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

Even still, we have a lot to make up for. Tis hard for most ponies to forgive.

[identity profile] friendyousohard.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're the one having the hardest time forgiving yourself, Princess.

[identity profile] mare-moon.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives a shrug.]

Perhaps. However, the most telling are the attitudes of our citizens.

I wouldn't know about anypony outside of Ponyville, I'm afraid.
