Dragging this one out for a voice test

[princessesque]

Nope nope nope nope nope!

I don't wanna go to a game or a dressing room or a musebox! There are people there! With eyes and... stuff!

You can't make meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Comments

aaaaa HIME

[seaswept]

As opposed to people with no eyes, you mean?

[princessesque]

eep

I... g-g-g-g-uess so...

[seaswept]

Don't you think that'd just be scarier?

[princessesque]

But but... eyes are always doing that thing where... y'know, they watch you.

[seaswept]

Oh dear. Are you not one for attention?

[princessesque]

I-I can totally deal with attention!

[seaswept]

Then what is it, exactly, that you're concerned about?

[princessesque]

I... I... I don't know...

[pushes fingers together] It's just scary...

[seaswept]

That's no good. If you can't even explain your fears to your own self, how will you go about facing them?

[princessesque]

I'm trying my best!

But I have a lot to deal with! And there are these really scary and tough monsters, and then there's Cure Fortune picking on me and Ribbon lecturing me and and...

[seaswept]

Cure Fortune? Ribbon...?

[princessesque]

Cure Fortune is one of the other Pretty Cure in the city. She's always showing up to yell at me and, uh, save me from the monsters.

[seaswept]

Hmm... I suppose the context I'm missing is what, exactly, Pretty Cure is.

[princessesque]

For real?! You don't know who the Pretty Cure are?

They're the legendary heroes of light, defenders of justice!

[seaswept]

[ tapping an amused finger to her chin ] Is that so?

[princessesque]

Uh-huh! And their mission is to defend the whole world from falling into darkness!

[seaswept]

I see. Then I suppose on your end, you've never heard of the Sailor Soldiers?

[princessesque]

Was there a lesson about that...?

Aren't they... the army who defend the Green Sea Kingdom?

[seaswept]

[ tuts ] It's better to say you don't know than to make things up.

[princessesque]

Erk.

Sorry... I don't know who they are.

[tsunpony]

Wow you have not changed one bit. Really, you're trying so hard and got so far and in the end... well... Hime is still a giant pile of princess derp.

[princessesque]

I have so changed! I... wait, are you a fairy?

[tsunpony]

No, not quite a fairy. Think a tiny little princess from a neighboring kingdom, one that specializes in music.

[princessesque]

O-oh! Of course I know all of the princesses in the neighbouring kingdoms!

Yep, it just took me a few seconds to recognise... the person that you are.

[tsunpony]

Liar. You totally forgot me. But it's good to see you again, Hime.

[Princess to Princess, at least it wasn't like Ako wasn't undercover anyhow. And a pony.]

Blame Equestria on that. Everyone's a pony, or something native to that land there.

[princessesque]

It is good to see you as well, fellow Princess!

It has been too long since I made the journey to Equestria!

[tsunpony]

...

......

PFFFH. Hime do you even remember who I am? I'm Princess Ako, of Major Land. I've just been... changed.

[princessesque]

Ako?

...... you're taller now.

[tsunpony]

I got older. What, do you think I would be 4 forever? Or 9? [Still tsun though.] I'm 13 now.

[princessesque]

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?! You're really Ako? No kidding?!

Wh-wh-wh-wh-what happened?! Is this a Saiark plot?! Will we have to go on a quest to the Phantom Kingdom to restore your Cure powers?! I'm not ready for that yet! Don't make me goooooo!

[tsunpony]

Calm down, it's not a Saiark plot, at least I'm about 90% certain it isn't. We don't have to restore anything, I have my Cure powers and extra stuff like that.

Unless you want to come to Equestria and become a pony, then by all means. You'll make a lot of friends.

[princessesque]

Did you say friends?!

[tsunpony]

Equestria practically runs on making friends. It would do you good.

[princessesque]

I guess life with four legs wouldn't be so bad if I had friends to help me get dressed in the morning!

[tsunpony]

Clothing optional. [Words chosen to fluster the poor Hime.]

[princessesque]

O-o-optional?! Then what about fashion?!

[tsunpony]

There's fashion, but wearing clothing every day is optional. It's just in season right now because it's winter where we are.

[princessesque]

Unacceptable! Clothing is fashion!

[tsunpony]

Yeah I know, some ponies live and breathe fashion but a lot of them go unclothed anyhow.

[yuureiressha]

[What's all this about?]

... do you fear being seen?
