12 Hearts [visual][backdated to earlier this week]

[Hey, guys, it's Minako! And she's got some film reels in her hooves along with a smile on her face.

Hoo boy.]

So, everypony. You all remember that movie that came out earlier this year that we were kind of blackmailed into going to see? Weeeell...

[Turning the reel around to reveal that it is, indeed, Quest to Canterlot.]

...I got tons of copies of the full movie for practical peanuts! Some of them original prints from the theaters, even! And I know just what we can do with them! Back on the Satellite of Love, Mike and his robot friends used to riff really bad films because the Mads made them. So I'm thinking...let's riff this movie! And not just do it in Ponyville...let's do it in Manehattan, Vanhoover, Los Pegasus, Fillydelphia...all over Equestria, different ponies riffing on it, at the same time! So everypony can have a chance to see we're not all psychotic criminals!

[Hoofraise!]

And all the proceeds of our simultaneous riff goes to the newpony fund! YEAH!

[...Cricket.]

Oh, yeah, on a completely unrelated note. Skyfire's doing a garage sale...um, you should check it out. He has a lot of stuff he would be totally ok with selling you. Yup.

I don't think I've heard of the word "riff" used in that context before.

Really? Oh man, you're missing out!

[Aaaand now, she's curious.]

Well, what is it?

Easy! You watch a really bad movie and you make fun of it while watching it!

Oh. Oh, like Luna and I did on our date. I didn't know they had a word for that.

[It's then that Littlepip notices the movie that's on in the background.]

...Is that Quest for Canterlot? That's what we made fun of. Er, riffed. What other movies do you have?

Hey, then you're a pro already! Would you be interested in doing it for an audience?

...Well, nothing else yet, but considering they were apparently giving these away, I figured why not do this one?

For an audience? ...I guess I can try. Sure, we can do this one again. Let me know when you get more movies for us to riff. It was fun doing that.

Absolutely! The more, the merrier, right?

[Littlepip guesses so.]

While we're talking, can you show me some of the riffs you've done so far?

...Well...I'll be honest, I can't really show you. All my riffs are back on the Satellite of Love in another universe.

But Pinkie Pie and Harvey can back me up on the fact I can riff!

[You really should know better than to say things Littlepip hasn't heard of and expect to get away without further detail.]

What's the satellite of love?

Its the space station that I lived on for almost two years. Its where we riffed bad books and Mike and the bots riffed bad films!

You were in space!? What was it like?

[She's only ever met one other person who was in space.]

Honestly? It was ok. You know, aside from the icebergs and random things menacing us, and the Mads.

[And the fact she broke someone's heart, buuuuuuut that's off-topic.]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH -

[And then Pinkie Pie takes off into space.]

W-wait! Pinkie Pie!!

[Don't worry. She'll land eventually!]

[YOU BETTER, SHE NEEDS HER RIFFER IN CRIME!]

[AND HERE SHE COMES TO LAND NEAR MINAKO]

- I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Mako looks...thoughtful.

"I can't even remember the last time I made it to Movie Night, so...yeah, I'm in!"

Excellent! I'll let you guys know when everything's in place!

"Okay! I'll bring snacks!"

..What's that mean?

A riff? Its where we make fun of a movie!

Huh...It sounds like a lot of fun. How does it work though?

Ah, you just basically goof off at the silly stuff! You get the hang of how to do it after awhile.

Oh...I wanna try then! If that's okay.

It sure is! I'll let you know when we do the riff!

Okay! I'll be ready for it then!

I was all over that that the first time we saw it. In my head.

But I'm ready to share with the world.

THAT'S the spirit!

Los Pegasus is starting to sound pretty good. Throw in some game time and I'm there.

[It took him a minute to get the reference] Mystery Science Theater? It's been ages since I thought about that...

[MST3K had lasted 4000 years into Earth's future. Rejoice]

But if any movie deserves that kind of treatment, it's this movie.

Ooooh yes, definitely.

I can't wait to do it, either~

Too bad we don't have actual robot sidekicks.

I'm surprised nopony's invented them yet! Not like we don't have enough smart people and random funny parts for it.

[Seriously, lacrosse sticks and gumball machines.]

I'd offer to try my hand at it, but I'm afraid the creation of sarcastic new lifeforms is not my specialty.

I get it, I get it. I'll have to do it myself.

[STEP ONE: GET RUBBER BANDS. THOSE WILL HELP RIGHT]

Edited 2015-03-29 03:57 (UTC)

I can help find materials though, if you'd like.

[He knows he can steal one of Saori's whisks if he has to.]

That'll help, yes. Thank you.

[OK, RUBBER BANDS, A WHISK...UM, VINYL RECORDS...]

Edited 2015-03-29 17:00 (UTC)

Send me a list of what you can't get on your own then.
