revenance_rpg's new reserves

[raisethemoon]

Our sister? Truly? But this is marvelous! We can introduce her to all our new friends, and she can meet Ventus! Perhaps she will have greater success than we did in raising the sun...

Oh, and Pinkie Pie as well? [The princess thinks about that for a second.] ...she will not be screaming about Nightmare Moon again...will she?

[friendyousohard]

Relax, Princess. Pinkie was apparently only doing that to be "in character" for her costume as a chicken. So unless she dresses up again...

In February...

You should be fine.

... So it's not completely out of the question, but it's unlikely. You know a Ventus too, though?

[raisethemoon]

[...she supposes that's somewhat comforting. The talk of Ven brightens her up, though.]

Indeed! We hath taken him in as our ward, and he shares our new lodgings with us. He is a fine young human!

...though...we hath not yet told him about our exile. [Thus her concern over Pinkie Pie.]

[friendyousohard]

I wouldn't worry too much about that. If the Ventus where you are is anything like the one I know in Johto, he wouldn't judge you for past mistakes.

[She'd offer a comforting hoof on the shoulder, but... too short.]

[raisethemoon]

We suppose so. [She scuffs a forehoof, looking abashed.] Neigh, we know so. We hath seen his nature to be most forgiving. 'Tis simply...we are unused to having to tell the story. Everypony in Equestria knows already.

If nothing else, I must admit that being amongst strangers has been surprisingly refreshing.

[friendyousohard]

I would imagine so. It must be nice to have more people around who only see you as Luna, and not... well.

I hope they still treat you with respect though.

[raisethemoon]

Most do.

But come, Twilight Sparkle. How hast thou fared in this place?

[friendyousohard]

Oh, well enough. My mun's a decent sort as they go, and Johto's not at all a bad place to be. There's just one little problem.

Well, two, if one adds being separated from far too many ponies for my comfort.

[raisethemoon]

Hm, yes, we know of that land. Our mundane hath looked it over before...ah! But thou must become human there, must thou not?

[friendyousohard]

And that would be the problem I was referring to.

[Oh look it's her human form.]

Being like this is... weird, to say the least.

[raisethemoon]

We would imagine so.

[friendyousohard]

You... get used to it, after a while?

Sort of.

[dork_of_keys]

My mun's anticipating craziness... and she suspects the Moogles might be ready with popcorn.

[Because the idea that the Moogles watch the drama and craziness with popcorn or other snacks is obviously far too amusing. He's still wondering if maybe they're just there for the Moogles' entertainment...]

[raisethemoon]

We suspect popcorn sales now represent a vast portion of their revenue.

[dork_of_keys]

It sure seems that way.

... You don't suppose they're also selling tickets?

[raisethemoon]

...if they are, they had best not do so in this matter. This is between my subjects and myself, foremost.

[letteropener]

I'll be very glad to see both your friends, and you.

But I wouldn't hold out hope on the sun!

[raisethemoon]

Ah, 'tis no matter! These worlds exist well enough on their own, strange as it is.

But you must play the water game with us, 'tis a most fun method of battle training!

[letteropener]

Battle training?

Well, perhaps I need that after all, if Twilight and her friends are not there. [Celestia can be a bit wry over her recent track record, can't she?]

[raisethemoon]

We suppose you may simply paint your Spirit purple and call it Twilight. But we doubt you shall receive the same results.

[letteropener]

[Luna's joking! Celestia's laugh is part amazement, but happily so.]

No, I don't think it would be quite the same.

Clearly the time there has done you some good.

[raisethemoon]

We hath made friends, sister! Real ones! They are all humans, of course, but we fight alongside them all the same, and they hath taught us new methods of fun! We hath even taken a young one as our ward - unofficially, of course, but he wanted to come stay with me!

[letteropener]

You say that as if you expect me to be surprised, when nothing could be further from the truth.

This 'Ventus' you mentioned. That is the one you've adopted?
