The royal voice test!

[herroyalsunrise]

How very kind of you to take up my voice, Rikimaru...oh, so you prefer Riki? Very well then.

It would be better for you to get to bed early in preparation for work tomorrow than whittle away your time on the internet, don't you think? You're being given new responsibilities in your new job, so you should take advantage of that while you still can.

...The Royal Canterlot Voice? Why would you ask me about that? It's not something I use anymore; everypony in Equestria can hear me just fine without it.

Perhaps it's a reflection of your zeal; nopony can draw a crowd like you can, isn't that right, Pinkie?

[brokethefourthwall]

Yes, ma'am! I wouldn't be very good at throwing parties if I didn't! [She giggles again, her grin growing wider from the compliment.]

[herroyalsunrise]

Excellent; then I know exactly who I can speak to the next time I need to plan a party.

(Giving Pinkie a wink right now.)

[brokethefourthwall]

Really? That would be... amazing! I mean, the wedding went so well, but planning a royal party would be so much fun~!

[herroyalsunrise]

(She can only assume how Pinkie will actually respond to this, but Celestia's too tempted to not make this suggestion.)

Pinkie Pie, how would you feel if I asked you to plan not just any royal party, but the next Grand Galloping Gala?

[brokethefourthwall]

What!? [She gasps, quickly covering her mouth from the sudden outburst. Even Pinkie tries to control herself around the Princess.]

M-me? The Grand... R-really!?

[herroyalsunrise]

That's right, Pinkie. You would do me a great pleasure if you agreed.

[brokethefourthwall]

Ohmygosh! How could I say no? Well, I mean, there are totally a whole bunch of ways that I could say no, but you definitely don't have to worry about that because I say yes! [Giggle.] Yes, yes, yes!

[herroyalsunrise]

(There's a lot of enthusiasm under all of that pink. It makes the Princess smile.)

Excellent. I look forward to hearing your plans, Pinkie Pie. I'm sure Twilight and all of your friends would be willing to help.

[brokethefourthwall]

Of course! I bet Twilight would be super excited to help plan an event for you, Princess! Especially one as important as the Grand Galloping Gala! [She can't stop giggling now, not that's unusual, or anything.]

But I'll make sure to get all my friends --no, all of Ponyville involved! We'll make this the best Grand Galloping Gala ev~er!

[herroyalsunrise]

And if the previous Gala was just a sample of what could happen, then this will one will have great potential.

[brokethefourthwall]

[Pinkie will just giggle at that one. You're such a jokester, Celestia.]

And how are you feeling, Princess? I hope you're taking time from all your royal duties to go out and have some fun every once in a while~!

[herroyalsunrise]

I'm feeling fine, thank you. Riki here requested my presence in hopes of learning more about me, so I'm sure I'll be enjoying my stay here.

And yourself? I'm sure you're already having fun.

[brokethefourthwall]

Of course! My munnie has me in a game and everything!

[herroyalsunrise]

That's excellent. I hope it's a peaceful game as opposed to one of the awfully cruel ones I've heard about.

[brokethefourthwall]

I'm in this weird world called "Luceti". I wouldn't call it cruel as much as it's really kookie~! The sun and moon move on their own, and the seasons change without anypony doing a thing! And some days, everypony wakes up acting really strange. It's totally spoooooky. [Giggle.]

Oh! Also, there's barely any ponies at all! The world is filled with these giant naked monkey things called "hue-mans". They talk and act like ponies, too! It's so weird!

[herroyalsunrise]

Perhaps they're all from other worlds, if this one is supposed to bring them all together. I will have to look into these "hue-mans" myself; if they are like us ponies, then we should be able to make peace with them.

[brokethefourthwall]

[She giggles.] Twilight said the same thing! She's going to be showing up next month!

But most of the hue-mans are really nice. I've even made friends with some of them! It's these "Malnosso" everypony is talking about that makes me worry. I've never seen one of them, so I don't know if they're hue-man or ponies or what, but they seem to be behind why everypony acts weird sometimes. Oh! But they gave everypony these itty-bitty wings! They kinda tickle, but I think they're really cute!

[She turns around and lifts up her curly mane, revealing two tiny pink wings on her back.]

See?

[herroyalsunrise]

(Such...such strangeness this is. Celestia is unsure of how to feel about those.)

They are certainly a sight, Pinkie Pie. Why would this game see fit to give everypony wings like that?

[brokethefourthwall]

...I have no idea! But even if you already have wings, they give you two more! Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have four wings! Even Princess Luna has them! And I really thought her magic would be strong enough to do something about it.

[herroyalsunrise]

Having more than one pair of wings sounds very cumbersome, but I'm much more accustomed to mine.

But if even my sister has them, then there is clearly something powerful running that game. I don't suppose their purpose has been made clear, has it?

[brokethefourthwall]

One of my hue-man friends said they brought everypony here to fight some kind of war. But that's just silly. Why would they bring us to fight? I much better at throwing parties!

[It totally has nothing to do with that magic golden necklace you get to wear every once in a while. Totally not.]

[herroyalsunrise]

They're drafting everyone? Making you, Twilight and others fight a war that is their own?

(Oh no...Celestia's losing her cool.)

[brokethefourthwall]

That's what it sounds like! I haven't had to fight anypony myself, though!

I desperately need more Celestia icons...

[herroyalsunrise]

The problem of them recruiting my little ponies still stands; I will not forgive this terrible act!
