Voice-testing, headed for konran

[ensembledarkhorse]

We do not understand thee, mundane... and we do hope you allow us to keep things formal. We do not see the need to be casual in such situations.

While our journal name is mildly insulting, we suppose we should be thankful it is only mildly so; thou hast shown a surprising amount of restraint in your avoidance of mentions of fun and the doubling thereof. That is not why we are speaking with thee today, however, mundane.

Twas it not enough for us to grace thee with our presence so quickly? And yet, thou would seek for us to forget ourselves? Not even the company of Twilight Sparkle in thy "headspace" is enough to allow us to forgive thee, mundane. We shall never forget our sister, regardless of what may have occurred in the past. And certainly no humans would change our mind.

We suppose there is little chance of changing thy mind, however. In which case, perhaps thou should get to working on that biography... or "application", as thou hast dubbed it.

Why wouldst thou need to apply anything? We do not wear makeup.

Comments

[polyturtle]

Everyone has to do the application, unfortunately.

[Pause.]

Pardon me, but...you wouldn't happen to know anyone named Pinkie Pie by any chance?

[sailorlaughter]

[GAAAAAAAAASP!]

PRINCESS LUNA? You're coming to Kon Ran too?

[ensembledarkhorse]

Not... as well as others might, no. She and I have met on more than one occasion, though, and I owe her no small amount of gratitude.

[fruity_puppeteer]

Oh, it's obvious you don't wear makeup.

[ensembledarkhorse]

I... suppose we are, Pinkie Pie. Thou art already familiar with the place?

[ensembledarkhorse]

Discord. 'tis not your place back in stone upon which the birds perch?

[fruity_puppeteer]

Tis not your place to blot out the moon with thine flank?

[sailorlaughter]

TOTALLY! I've been here forEVER! I can show you all the neat places, and introduce you to everyone, and you can come to my bakery and get free cupcakes whenever you want! Oooh, and I can throw you a welcome party at my mansion! It'll be GREAT!

[ensembledarkhorse]

We have no time for thy foolish games, jester.

[ensembledarkhorse]

I... do not believe we need a large get-together. Tis no holiday, after all.

[fruity_puppeteer]

I'm pretty sure you have plenty of time, your sister did when she locked me away in stone.

Your sister just loves playing keep away with her favorites, doesn't she?

[herroyalsunrise]

It seems you're in the care of an impatient mun, my dear sister. I do hope things work out well for you, especially since you're going there...

[ensembledarkhorse]

...You shan't turn us against our own again, Discord. Even if we hath ended up in thy own realm of mundane chaos, we still have the option of simply ignoring thee.

[ensembledarkhorse]

Impatient, dear sister? You think he is perhaps being too hasty?

[herroyalsunrise]

Perhaps, but my mun is exactly the same. He's applied for characters without attempting a test for them, so he cannot say much in that regard. The important thing is you two are comfortable with each other.

[ensembledarkhorse]

I have spent some time in contact with him, and believe me, this place is one of the least offensive options.

[shine_on_armor]

Princess Luna!

[Le bow.]

You're going to a game?

[herroyalsunrise]

Sadly, I have seen just how much worse some of the other options are and I'm glad you're not going to any of them. My mun has spent plenty of time in Mayfield, particularly...but you don't have to worry about that.

Are you sure you'll be alright there, Luna?

[fruity_puppeteer]

I don't see how it's ignoring, more like running away~

[polyturtle]

Yeah, I noticed that Pinkie can have that effect on people.

[ensembledarkhorse]

Ah, Shining Armor! We believe so, yes. One of the many where we apparently are placed in a human body, alas.

[ensembledarkhorse]

Actually, I am more unsettled by the unsavory artwork he often seeks out in a misguided attempt to harm his sensibilities - and those of his muses. Though now my mundane inquires as to if yours is the one with the mentally unsound dollmaker.

You needn't fear... a thousand years may have weathered the memories, but your little sister is no slouch even without the corrupting influence of Nightmare Moon.

I am capable of fending for myself for a spell.

[ensembledarkhorse]

Well... our circumstances are a bit more unusual than the usual parties.

However, she and I both hail from the land of Equestria, perchance that was what you truly wished to know?

[ensembledarkhorse]

[Say what you will, she will not respond. Even if her mundane forces her to properly emote her lack of response.]

[herroyalsunrise]

Kreutzer? Yes, I share the same "headspace" with her. She's certainly eccentric, but a very interesting and polite girl nonetheless. Would you like to meet her?

I'm glad to hear that, sister. I dislike the thought of us being separated, but I'm sure you'll pull through.

[jack_you_up]

That place yer goin' to princess...it sounds different that's fer sure.

[shine_on_armor]

It's the same with me. Fortunately, Twilight is in the same game.

[ensembledarkhorse]

My... mundane has some awareness of her. He is currently grumbling that he cannot figure out how to clear the introductory stage of her canon because he is "filled with fail"... whatever that means.

I promise you I will remain safe, sister.

[ensembledarkhorse]

It is quite unusual, and in fact a bit disturbing. However, I will have the company of your friend Pinkie Pie, so it is not as if I would be facing such things alone.

[ensembledarkhorse]

Alas, I cannot claim the same. The only other Twilight I could share a game with, I also currently share a headspace with. Apparently, however, interacting in such ways is seen as taboo in the world of the mundanes.

[fruity_puppeteer]

[Whatever, he'll just use your back as a table for his new chessboard.]

Sorry this was totally called for

[suicidoll]

Seems your mun isn't aware of my dolls' key ability: their bombs.

(O hai Luna have a doll maker.)

Once their flow bar fills completely, simply colliding with the enemy will yield...explosive results. Avalone's defenses are much too high for Leaf to handle otherwise.

[jack_you_up]

That's true, and if anypony can make t'best out of a strange situation, it'd be Pinkie Pie.

It was.

[ensembledarkhorse]

[THEY JUST EXPLODE WITH DEATH FOR LEAFS, NOT DEATH FOR OTHER THINGS. HOW I BOMB GOOD. I fail so hard at bullet hells, why do I keep playing them orz]

Oh! You're Madam Kreutzer, then? Is... it truly a valid tactical decision for something to wield itself as a weapon?

[suicidoll]

(WAX ON WAX OFF, DANIEL-SAN. IT JUST TAKES PRACTICE and the game gets much better after the intro stage. Seriously, much better and not as douche-y because OH MY GOD THAT INTRO STAGE PUTS PEOPLE OFF OF THIS GREAT GAME)

I am. It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess.

(Just...gonna bow politely. Best to keep things spoiler-free for now.)

Of course it is. In a world with so much machinery, no one would expect my adorable dolls to be so devastatingly destructive. It's all about mind games and keeping the enemy on their toes so they can be easily pushed over, you see.

[ensembledarkhorse]

[Ah, so I am learning that this game practices the Mushihimesama model of "HOW THE <BUY SOME APPLES> DO I KILL THE BOSS". Also Earl is ludicrous.]

...Yes, well. We think perhaps you should tread carefully... mind games and underhanded tactics often lead down an unpleasant road, one that does not often offer a means of return.

[Luna, you have no idea how far this one is already gone, even the mun only has a minor idea.]

[ensembledarkhorse]

[Oh, was that a giant pepper shaker? Have the most demure, feminine of sneezes... one that knocks that chessboard casually off her back. How droll, you have pieces shaped like the Elements of Harmony.]

[fruity_puppeteer]

[CHESS WAS STUPID AND OVERUSED ANYWAY.

Let's get some battleship on this pony.]

B6! You sunk my battleship!

[suicidoll]

(At least they'll die in that game if you hold fire long enough? Earl is a wonderful stage killer since her price goes down each time she's bought and her Raiden!laser gets stronger when you slow down time with her.)

I appreciate the warning. It is a difficult road, but one I must take nonetheless.

(Yeah, REALLY REALLY GONE. Details will be spared, but I headcanon'd so much for her, it's scary. Specifics are in her profile application if you dare to look, but it's a lot of tl;dr with spoilers...)

Rest assured, I have it all planned out. I hope you have enough planned for your game, Princess; it looks like it'll keep you very busy.

[ensembledarkhorse]

[Battleship? Is that anything like Stormcloud? Discord, you and your... strange, non-pony ways. When you were in charge of Equestria, ponies were named things like Bumblebee and Steve. She still ignores.]

[ensembledarkhorse]

There is only so much we can plan in advance when we will not even know if we are truly a pony.

[suicidoll]

This is true. I suppose that may constitute to their kind of mind games, but I even I can't be certain of that. I hope it works out for you all the same.

(Because damn if anyone gets stuck in a game like that. Mindfucks are bad for your health.)

I would offer my support, but I am sure it would do little here in Dear_Mun.

apologies in advance for the Duchess

[pervy_elf_fancier]

Talking pony! WANT!

[anonasu]

About the name?

Yeah, I regret nothing.
