mylittlejamjar | 10th Nightfall - New Moon [Visual, the night after the PokéPonies event]

[It was night when Luna arrived back in Ponyville, and the first thing she did - in disguise as Dream Weaver, of course - was to buy a newspaper for no other reason than to check the date. After that it was a short time spent reconfirming that yes, this was the Equestria she thought it was - nowhere else would have the Night Market, after all - and trying to gather her thoughts over a coffee.

Yes, a coffee. It would be scandalous, if she didn't make it a point to avoid detection at all times. She's gotten better at that since she left... though it may be that one brighter star lurking right behind her mane making such things a reality.

When all is said and done, though, it's somewhere close to midnight when the scroll comes to life, the princess having not remembered to drop the disguise spell.]

This is Luna of the Night Market. Sixty days has been dilated into approximately six hundred.

We require an immediate report on the current situation of this Equestria, as well as a list of all who have vanished and who have arrived in our absence.

Discord does many a thing that he is not directly responsible for. His chaotic magics have a distinct effect on the world around him even when he does not direct them.

It has been a rather slow season, then.

Yeah, it was pretty quiet before everything decided to go crazy all at once. And I don't think I'll ever enjoy The Labyrinth properly again...

Pardon?

An old movie about a girl going through a labyrinth to rescue someone. Dante's so-called captor put us through something similar.

*Judging from the pained look on his face, it was pretty stressful.*

Ah, much like The Enchanting Spheres of The Goblin King.

[Kon Ran had some really weird names for movies, okay.]

....knowing what I do of Dante, that sounds more like a trick he would play as opposed to one who was leading you on.

[There's a bit of a pause as Luna properly reads the situation, calming herself and taking another sip of Star Bucks.]

Do you require further time for respite? I note that the bloodgoyles have remained, though I am currently down at least two guards, three if you require the time away.

Sounds like the same movie by different names.

And to be honest? I'm not sure how much of the theme was his influence. I know he at least had enough control to deliberately point out the similarities.

But I've already had time to rest from that. I ended up sleeping the entire day after he came back.

*Which is telling in and of itself, given that the demon pony usually doesn't need to sleep at all.*

I note that you did not answer the question that was directly asked of you.

I'm recovered as much as vacation time is going to be any good for.

Then I require you back in the Market as soon as you are able. As I stated, we are two guards down - one is currently investigating in Stalliongrad and the other was Dan.

["The other is/was Dan" is all that should need to be said, really.]

I'm on the edge of it now. I've also got a few bloodgoyles up in the clouds, though I don't want to have them patrol where people who might be unsettled by that kind of thing can see them.
