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.

I think most ponies prefer megaphones these days! [Giggle.]

[shufflingchaos]

Have I mentioned how dreadfully boring you can be with all of this responsibility nonsense? Well, it definitely requires repeating anyway.

[Trixie gives a respectful bow.]

Trixie greets you.

[herroyalsunrise]

I'm sure they do, Pinkie Pie. They're much more streamlined and less condescending, too.

[herroyalsunrise]

It's no different from reminding you how much you're not needed, Discord.

[brokethefourthwall]

Yeah! And then there are those real funny ones that make your voice get all high and squeaky or low and growly!

[She'll even demonstrate.]

[armore]

Good evening, your Highness. Did you decide to give Princess Luna the night off?

[herroyalsunrise]

Greetings, Trixie. I've read about you from Twilight's letters.

[herroyalsunrise]

They come in many different varieties for different situations, but I see you can do very well without one, can't you?

[shufflingchaos]

Why Celestia, you wound me!

Chaos? Calamity? Disharmony? Not needed? Perish the thought! If not for all that then this world would be absolutely dull and wretched. And who wants a boring ol' world like that?

[brokethefourthwall]

[She blinks.]

Oops! Maybe too well, sometimes! [Giggle.]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Ugh, why always The Sparkled One?]

Trixie wonders what you heard of the best storyteller in all of Equestria.

[herroyalsunrise]

Yes. That and I have to stay awake while my mun stubbornly refuses to go to bed early. I suppose I'll get used to him.

And what of you, Shining Armor? I trust you and Cadence are enjoying yourselves?

[herroyalsunrise]

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]

You and your particular brand of chaos are not welcome in Equestria. Pink clouds and chocolate rain are not acceptable.

[herroyalsunrise]

(Main character powers, Trixie.)

In particular, your visit to Ponyville. It was quite the ordeal, from what she told me.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[She immediately feels cornered.]

...It wasn't my fault! How was I supposed to know those foals- er, fillies would-... would bring an Ursa!?

[armore]

My mun is the same. It doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do, but I guess that they don't need to worry about the cost of candles, and I'm pretty sure electricity doesn't cost as much.

I wish I could answer yes - the truth of the matter is that I've barely seen my bride since I arrived... wherever here is.

[shufflingchaos]

I believe one of your precious favorite ponies would disagree.

But I digress-- You've always been far too stuck up to appreciate the better things in life.

[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.)

[herroyalsunrise]

I believe everypony can agree that Pinkie Pie is very unique out of all Equestria.

Harmony is one of the better things in life. What you do is one of the lesser things.

[brokethefourthwall]

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

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[brokethefourthwall]

[You rang?]

Really? Who's that?

[herroyalsunrise]

You'll find that life is often full of many surprises, Trixie; even if they take the form of Ursa Minors.

What matters more than which surprises you encounter is how you overcome them.
