APPLE FACTS 7: IT TAKES ABOUT 36 APPLES TO CREATE ONE GALLON OF APPLE CIDER [Video; Zetta-Locked]

So hey, I'm looking for two kinds of people.

Person #1: Are you a dragon? If yes, have you thought about flying your scaly ass right into some jerkoff's stupid castle? If so, get in touch.

Person #2: Have you ever thought about riding a dragon into some asshole's dumb castle? If yes, let's talk.

... Those of us who want to.

[...She really isn't sure where this is going to go. It could be something, or nothing, or might just get dropped right here and now.

Either way, she privates it for Kyouko's sake.]

...I don't blame you.

Didn't exactly sound like the best situation you had, when we talked the last time.

[ Kyouko's quiet for a little bit. ]

So I found somethin' out. There might not be nothin' ta go back to.

[ She hesitates again. And that's what's hard about this decision. She doesn't belong here, and she's said as much before. ]

But this is the happiest I've been since... [ She trails off. It's hard to remember if she's ever been this happy. Certainly not since contracting. ]

[For a moment, Jappleack is just silent. Just breathes a little in, and out. What can she even begin to say to that? She's afraid to ask what Kyouko means, that there's nothing to go back to. Because while Jappleack understand that in one sense, she's terrified what'd mean for this girl and the story she told her, and how literal it might be in Kyouko's case.

And besides, it's not like you just ask what that means.

She's so uncertain as to what to say.

So she'll go with what her gut gives her.]

Sometimes? You just have to go with the happiness you get.

I know that sounds shitty. And it isn't really helpful. But sometimes I think the best thing we can do for ourselves is live in the present.

Be happy for now. And just hold onto it until you can't anymore.

[ She nods fiercely. ] You bet yer buckin' ass.

... An'... tha's why I'm hesitant ta go, really, I guess. [ Attempting a smile. ] Don' get me wrong. It'd be fun as hell ta go on a mission with ya, but... I dunno how long I'll have him. ... Any of ya.

... Heh. I know s'a lot ta lay on ya at once, damn... [ She shakes it off. ] Ever since Calice, been tryin' ta be a little... uh, more open. [ To friends. ] So. Now ya know.

Don't feel bad about that. Stay with him then. Cause you're right. You don't know.

Yeah. Going inside that thing is a, uh - eye opener, for a lack of a better term. Damn.

I meant to ask - you didn't have any side effects or anything from going in there, right? Aside from your weird ass decomposing body.

[Sometimes her empathy kind of bottoms out. Hey, it isn't intentional. It's just Jappleack.]

... Does gettin' a boyfriend count? [ Embarrassed smile. ]

Nah, but... other 'n' that... jus' a rethinkin' of priorities. Which I'd been comin' around ta anyway, I guess, but... quickened it.

There was one thing that stopped certain destruction in there, an' it wasn' fightin'. It was friendship.

Well that is weird, but I'm probably one of the only ponies who'd think that.

[It's said as a joke, and she leaves it at that. It's not like it's that much of a surprise after the last talk they'd had.]

...I don't doubt it. I still wish I could remember what the hell happened in there, but...if anything could, it's friendship.

...She's lonely. And scared. I don't even need to remember the second trip to remember thinking that.

Edited 2014-09-16 05:27 (UTC)

Damn... [ That's just about the worst thing Kyouko can hear, regarding Calice. Worse than "she's impossible to kill". ]

We can't just... go in, guns blazin'. It'd make things worse. ... If ponies're gonna do that, I won't let 'em.

[ She's had more than enough experience with good people gone bad, who need battle like they need teeth pulled. ]

An' hey. S'not that weird. ... S'a little weird, I wasn' really expectin' it.

I'm with you there. ...I'm not sure how in the hell we're going to approach her. I know this idiot who wants to talk to her, so I'm thinking I might give him a ride in.

Friendship, right? We have to at least try, even if it'll probably take a while to show anything.

I know th'idiot. You his science division? Damn.

Naw, he told me about that too. I have no clue what the hell that's about. I'm just his ride if that one doesn't come soon enough.

Last one I'd expect ta be on the right track, but damn if he didn' make me realize I'd been lookin' at Calice all wrong.

He's a bullshitter. An alright dude, but quick with his dumb crap.

[She can kind of relate to that.]

Sometimes the right idea just comes out of left field.

Hey, long as we got it somehow.

That's what matters, yeah.

Take care of yourself, alright? I'll let you now if I need any back up.

Promise.

Ya better.

You take care too, Jappleack. ... An' thanks.
