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.]

[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]

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?

[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!

[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]

[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.

[strengthinkindness]

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

[meltsicecastles]

Not Luna's Twilight, no. Celestia's bore Magic, when I visited her world; meeting her was an... experience.

Does Corona mean anything to you, Princess? Does Nightmare Moon?

[meltsicecastles]

(The fifth, invisible, Dame Trixie is trying to slowly slink away from this. Could someone tell her that Discord's been reformed?

...someone TRUSTWORTHY?)

[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.

(Visual)

[mostloyalpony]

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

Re: [visual]

[meltsicecastles]

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

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

N-No...I was...brought here from a different Equestria.

Y...Y-You've been to different worlds?

[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?

[marearcana]

Nightmare Moon, yes, but not Corona. And it must have been, if you nearly came to blows with her.

[meltsicecastles]

This would be the second other than my own, mon ami. Celestia's Equestria being the other.

[strengthinkindness]

[That probably meant she hadn't been to the Digital World either. Oh well.]

Celestia's Equestria...? Wh-What's that one like?

[meltsicecastles]

Ah. Corona is... the Nightmare SUN of my world and the reason I blinded Celestia when I visited hers.

...she got better.

[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.

[meltsicecastles]

Thier Fluttershy bore Kindness, for one thing. I don't suppose you did in your Equestria? Or was that Derpy? Or someone stranger still.

[mostloyalpony]

(Rainbow's chuckling a bit herself, not at all used to hearing Trixie speak with an accent.)

Loyalty! And, yeah...but Princess Luna takes care of everything when it comes to the night, or actually when it comes to our dreams.

[meltsicecastles]

World-eating is new on me. Soul-eating, merde, we just dealt with that back home. Be on the lookout for a would be liche named Grogar from an island that only exists every hundred years. But entire worlds?

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...Yes, I did...I...bore the element of Kindness, before we put the elements back in the Tree of Harmony...

Who...Who bore the elements in your Equestria?

[caneattheseapples]

Don't worry there's soul eating too, though not by any lichen or whatever you said.

Yeah. It's a trip, but I'm kind of getting tired of dealing with it. Not like it matters - we'll make sure everything's right in the end. It's just a matter of time.
