For My First Trick - Accidental Video

[meltsicecastles]

"Okay, no. No. Non non non. Uh-uh. I'm not embarrassing myself, again, the way I did LAST time I went to another world."

Hey, is that Trixie Lulamoon? She looks... good. She has more muscle and seems to have been eating better than - just say this can't be the native Trix, the one who spent time starving and farming rocks. Her cloak and wizard hat is still gaudy, but seems to be made of higher grade material, real silk and velvet.

The effect is ruined by her ranting with her back to a scroll, of course.

"This time, I'm going to ask who's in charge and who bears the Elements, I'm going to tell them exactly where I'm from and that I need to get back to my Ponyville, and I'm going to go home. No blinding a Princess! No kissing Lyra, Derpy, Carrot Top and Raindrops! No freaking out and attacking Twilight! Just - figuring - out - what's -"

She notices the scroll, and sort of... dumbly... stares at what she now knows is a two-way video transmitter.

"Merde. So much for not embarrassing myself. Okay, okay. Okay! I am Dame Trixie Lulamoon, I am emphatically not the Trixie you know if you know one, and could someone tell me where in Tartarus I am and who is in charge here, merci boucoup?"

Well I should certainly hope you don't freak out, blind, or attack me in any combination.

[Since guess who is in two of the mentioned categories.]

[meltsicecastles]

Well this conversation has certianly dove right into the sun...

You have wings. Okay. Definitely not my Twilight. And for the record it was my first trip to another world, I thought she'd stolen the Elements, mistakes were made, and I'm not helping matters any am I?

[marearcana]

Not necessarily, but I'm already accustomed to the idea of alternate Equestrias.

Still, from what you've said I suppose your Twilight never used the Elements...

[discorderly]

I am in charge here - [Discord slithers the upper half of his body right out of the scroll, propping his face up on both foreclaws and grinning.] - you delightful little pony.

[meltsicecastles]

(Her only response to that is a scream that gets higher in pitch the longer she sustains it, before she throws down a smoke pellet and runs off... in four directions at once. All of her clones scream):

OH SUN BLAST EVERYTHING, CASE NIGHTMARE ENTROPY! CASE NIGHTMARE ENTROPY!

[discorderly]

[Discord immediately launches himself out of the scroll, splitting himself into four and gliding after each clone. All of him speaks in unison:]

I resent that! I am not a Nightmare anything! [The indignation drops, and he grins and rolls over to float on his back.] I don't need to be~

You're in an Equestria that's in deep shit at the moment.

Get a shovel and help us dig, cause you're probably not going home for a while.

[meltsicecastles]

Well, that's a relief. It's good to know some things don't change no matter which world you're...

...Applejack? Is that you? You look. Ah. Different.

[caneattheseapples]

Dunno about you but the next time I get dragged to a world I'd like it to be one without a world eating god.

Yeah, you've probably never met an Applejack like me before, either. Guess that's the, uh, blessing of different worlds.

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...so you're from another Equestria too?

Re: [visual]

[meltsicecastles]

It would seem so. You are not this world's Fluttershy?

(Visual)

[mostloyalpony]

...I'm in charge of one of the Elements! The name's Rainbow Dash!

[meltsicecastles]

(She shakes her head, chuckling. Rainbow bearing an element - bearing LOYALTY, especially - she'll never get used to that.)

Which one, mon ami? And if I could hazard a guess - Celestia rules, no?

[noxequus]

Dame? A title granted by royalty, or by thy own expansive ego?

[There was only one from another world that she had known of that had been properly knighted, and that was Rarity...]

[meltsicecastles]

Your Royal Highness! Princess Luna, I...

[meltsicecastles]

...Oh.

Right.

You are not my Luna.

Apologies, your Highness. I have tried to keep my ego in my hat, so I can conjure it during a show. I was knighted in my world. By you.

[Another Trixie pops up on the scroll. She isn't wearing her usual purple cape and hat. Instead, it's high-quality silk and it's royal blue. Both her attire and the rest of her is pristine and clean.]

Ah, The Great and Powerful Trixie sees that an outsider of hers has finally seen fit to show themself into this Equestria! No doubt you shall find this to be a little odd, but 'tis of no worry!

[meltsicecastles]

(Have a blank stare, Trix. Have a facehoof right afterwards.)

EXACTLY. Like Celestia's world. Hoo, boy.

Putting out the fire first. Great and Powerful routine later, Trixie. We aren't even on STAGE.

[muffin_lover]

Oh, well, I'm flattered you want to kiss me, but, um... I don't think we know each other all that well!

[meltsicecastles]

I knew my world's version of you very well, mon ami; the greatest mailmare and the greatest showmare made quite a -

[meltsicecastles]

(aaaand everyone can practically HEAR the record-needle scratch when Dame Trix's eyes bug out and she starts backpedaling. Literally.)

Wait, no, as a FRIEND and fellow element-bearer! A FRIEND! I don't know if I swing a way but it's certianly not that one! WHY MUST MEMORY TRANSFER SPELLS HAVE THAT AS A SOMATIC COMPONENT?!

[Visual]

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Believe me, it would not be the first time when somepony has kissed me out of nowhere, even if it is Trixie.

[Said with no small amount of amusement.] But I'm placing it ten to one that you're from another Equestria then and we're besties?

[meltsicecastles]

Strictly Element of Harmony business, I assure you, mon ami. To take a page from Rarity's playbook - of all of the possible somatic components for a spell, that was the. Worst. Possible. One.

But of course, if you're the native Lyra, you aren't a Bearer. Would it make you feel better to know you were worthy of it in my world?

[trustme]

"Bonjour Dame Trixie! I admit I did not expect a version of you to speak French- if that's what you know it as- but the multiverse loves to surprise us all doesn't it?" A smiling unicorn greets her, "I am The Doctor. A visitor to this world."

"You are in Ponyville. Nowhere near Tartarus, though we have been suffering a recent attempt to turn this world into something of that sort. Sorry you didn't come when it was nicer out. We're working on clearing that up."

[meltsicecastles]

"Prench, by way of Neigh Orleans," Trixie replies, puffing up a little with pride at the first pony to call her by title. "Prance being it's nation of origin."

Hey. She earned it. What's the point of earning a title if you can't throw it around to impress people?

"It's a figure of speech. Tartarus would be, well I'd say the centre of the sun but that's equally metaphorical. Luna, Twilight, and..." she winces. "My native counterpart told me what they could."
