[Once again, Johnny decides to make use of this curious little scroll. He's pretty sure someone can answer his question...]

Ah, ha! There we go... now then. I hope you're all having a wonderful day, and I'm sorry to interrupt any activities you may have been doing. I must admit, I've been... enjoying my time here.

I have to ask a question, so I hope you'll forgive my ignorance.

The curious little marks I've seen on others. What are they?

[He leans back a bit, tapping at his chin.]

I suppose it would have been better to have asked a long while back, but then it never crossed my mind.

They're called "cutie marks". Ponies receive them when they discover their vocation, or so I'm told. Generally in adolescence.

Mine tells me I've been a henchman too long.

[Not that he really believes that.]

On others? D'you mean you don't have one?

[Wait, right, Johnny asked a question.] Supposedly they more or less tell you who you are. It's got to be fairly open to interpretation, though, or else that can't be true.

Those are cutie marks. Didn't Ah mention that in Mayfield? You never wondered what the three apples on mah flank meant?

...Wait, seen on others? You don't have one?

[gunsnponies]

"Marks"? Oh, those marks. [ He peers back at his own cutie mark. ] I jus' call'em that, "marks", that is. I ain't really though 'bout it before.
