Of course I'm taking her to mylittlejamjar - was there ever any doubt? (Lunaverse AU)

[meltsicecastles]

I demand an explanation for the username you have given me, Mundane.

I am Dame Trixie Lulamoon, the living embodiment of the principle that Friendship is Magic and Knight of Princess Luna's Night Court. A Night Court that, through my quick thinking, a tiny bit of help from my friends, and yards upon yards of rope given to Equestria's enemies, I have exposed for the morass of corruption that it is. Well, was before I reminded Luna that doing her job isn't diving into the sun with power, anyway.

I saved Ponyville from an Ursa Minor, Twilight being Twilight, the Curse of Saturnalia, parasprites, the Apple Trust being tres stupide during a famine, the Night Court being the Night Court, and - oh yes - CORONA. TWICE. My legerdemain, illusions, slight of hand and showmareship are second to none. I taught Dinky Doo magic and my teachings with some small help from Twilight are responsible for at least two young ones getting their Cutie Marks.

BUT YOU MELT ONE ICE CASTLE...

Of course, it has to be one thing that mars the record, isn't it? Like anypony will let you forget it.

from one AU to another

[spike_want]

Sorry, are we talking about forever being immortalized by our one hugest screw-up?

We doing that?

[meltsicecastles]

Honestly, I've done things much more deserving of ridicule. If they wanted to shame me they could have named me "oohmonsieurbourbon" or something of the kind. I'm not a flawless equine being, I just act like it on stage.

But of all things, the ice castle? That was ONCE. That was a FREAK ACCIDENT.

Pardonnez-moi, but I don't think I've seen you around Ponyville. Or wherever this is for that matter. I am - ahem, well, you've already heard my name. May I have yours?

Re: from one AU to another

[meltsicecastles]

Yes, I can see that we are from your username.

It could be worse. You could be Corona's spike instead of Twilight's.

[spike_want]

...Not really much different, except yours went loco crazy.

Also, I'm not exactly "Twilight's", any more.

[meltsicecastles]

I'd be interested in hearing your story. Misery loves company.

And I have been around the block with other worlds. I've met a Twilight that wasn't complètement fou and a Celestia who was never Corona.

[shimmer_on]

It must have been the defining moment though, that really stuck with your mun. Like how mine own is a song title.

You wouldn't, I'm in the neighboring universe as it were. Sunset Shimmer. Former student of Celestia, not yours, mine.

[Lets not forget however that Sunset is living off Principal Celestia's good graces.]

[spike_want]

I shudder to even think about what Twilight would be if the coin was flipped the other direction. The Trixie in most Celestia-centric realities is a real louse. To think Twi could be as bad there as your alternates were there...

...and it's not really much of a story; from all I've heard it's a pretty standard Sun universe. You could ask any -- competent -- Twilight about it and get a better description of most of the details than I could give.

[meltsicecastles]

I'll do so. I presume your Generosity was involved - and is that Rarity? It's difficult to imagine.

Do tell me, by what contrivance did the Ursa Minor attack your Ponyville? I'm curious. Mostly because it was Twilight's fault in mine.

[spike_want]

Snips and Snails. Can't really blame you - er, our world's Trixie - for doing it when all she did was fill the heads of two impressionable schoolfoals with tall tales of taking down an Ursa Major single-hoofed. Twilight called her on it, and the two of them decided to find a real one so that they could prove you - she, whatever - could defeat it where everyone can see. They woke up a Minor instead, thank goodness.

The deal with getting revenge by hunting down the Alicorn Amulet, though? That was all Trixie.

[meltsicecastles]

Yesssss I can imagine that no one would be cruel enough to name their foal that in a universe with Corona. Just... call the fou one Corona. I've met Celestia, and they are not the same pony.

My mun and I have an agreement; they won't have me describe the Ice Castle in detail so long as I do not describe the Noodle Incident.

[meltsicecastles]

...yes, I can well imagine her being enough of an idiot to claim that. I can well imagine, having been that idiot.

Snails seems so sensible, otherwise, apart from his love of... nnnn... spiders.

[spike_want]

The two of them are... they aren't bad kids? Well, I guess they aren't kids at all, they're foals...well, they aren't foals any more in my Equestria, but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[Ahem. Pardon the dragon clearing his throat.]

They were star-struck. I'm sure you've seen how normally smart folks can act like total hooligans in order to win the love and adoration of someone famous.

[...Kind of like how he was around Rarity. Or how SHE was around Blueblood...and Trenderhoof...and Hoity Toity...]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie raises an eyebrow.]

The great and Powerful Trixie demands to know why her mundane is snickering like a crazed madman. 'Tis not a good sign, alas, and demands an explanation.

[meltsicecastles]

In my line of work, of course I have!

[You can make Trixie a hero, you can make her worthy of the Element of Magic, you can knight her - but you can't stop her from being the showiest of boats.]

...My mundane has just read your first journal, and much is explained. It is nice to know that Ponyville will always be... well, Ponyville, and our best and brightest.

[meltsicecastles]

Oh by the Moonrise you're still doing the third person thing and you aren't even on stage.

Tell me, oh Great and Powerful Trixie, which of the princesses went mad - and why?

[spike_want]

...And mine's been poking around your info a little bit. I suppose it's just as nice to know, in its own way, that Celestia's always got some bigger plan in play.

You probably should lay off the booze, though. Ponies aren't as hardy as dragons are, you could do some real damage.

[meltsicecastles]

How dare you speak about Monseur Bourbon that way!

[She's kidding.]

It is an interesting theory. Of course, I'm more comforted by Luna having objectives instead of plans, but then that's always worked for me. I like plans without much plan in them.

[spike_want]

Yeah, that's the first sign you should step back unless you wanna have baby tequila shots on the way.

[Just because she's kidding doesn't mean he can't joke back.]

Tell me about it; that seems to be a similarity. Even if the other one went nutty first, they both seem to be the same Princesses deep down, when it comes to the whole emotion-versus-logic thing.

[defrostingicequeen]

[NO]

[meltsicecastles]

They are sisters. Luna misses Celestia terribly. That's most of why Corona upsets her.

Have you considered visiting mylittlejamjar yourself?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

...Why ever not? Trixie's audience is always enraptured by her style of speech.

'Tis an odd question. Trixie doesn't normally do private performances, but she just may regale you of the tale of Nightmare Moon!

ILU <3

[meltsicecastles]

IT WAS ONCE AND IT WAS AN ACCIDENT - okay, buck this. I need a drink.

[She takes her hat off, reaches deeper into it than is actually possible, and removes a flask of bourbon. She takes a long pull of it, then sighs. That is good stuff.]

Ah monsieur Bourbon, mon meilleur ami, je t'aime tellement.

[spike_want]

It's not really for me. My world's Luna is stuck there anyway, from what my Mun keeps saying.

[defrostingicequeen]

[SHE ONLY HAS ONE, SMALL TALKING UNICORN.

AND SHE WORKED HARD ON IT!]
