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

[noxequus]

[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.

I see.

[Having read up on what is new, she's not entirely certain to feel about that.]

That is not all that bothers you.

I...assume you've heard by now what they found out? About the Pale Pony?

[noxequus]

I question if such a fate would be worse than the alternative, in his case.

[iron_mare]

[...sigh]

That's true. Not that it makes me feel much better.

[noxequus]

Understandable. However, there is little to be done worrying about what cannot be changed. I should know - it is a lesson that has been taught to me rather harshly as of late.

If there's anything I've learned from living with a comic book nerd, it's that nothing sticks. I think I'm more used to looking for ways to change things than I should be.
