First Licorice [Visual, postdated to after the event]
Hello, everypony. Some of you may not recognize me from around town, which is fair... I only just got one of these scrolls. My name is Bon Bon, and yes, that means I'm the one who runs the candy shop downtown. Either way, I've got a few announcements to make, now that the nasty business with the eclipses is over.
Firstly: Since it's only a month until Nightmare Night, I'm accepting suggestions for varieties of candy to make for the big day-before sale. Last year's celebrations being cut short by the actual Nightmare Moon I entirely blame on my stocking of way too much black licorice, so I want to know if you all can help make the holiday not a catastrophic failure this year.
Secondly: thanks to that eclipse, I actually do have a bit of a surplus here, so until the end of the month, all taffy is 75% off. Something to chew on for a while. [The mare chuckles, quietly, at her own joke.]
Finally: Until further notice, Zetta and all of those who collaborated with him are blacklisted from the Sugar Shack. I understand that it was apparently some super-secret plan to lure out the evil mastermind keeping all of the offworlders here, but you caused Lyra and Fluttershy to work themselves into exhaustion, made one of my employees sick, and turned the other into a bear! [Yes, Zetta, she's blaming you for that too even if it happened after the fact. And was technically Teddie's fault.] If you want me to lift the ban, then I'm expecting a pretty big apology. Yes, your majesties, that includes you two, too. I'm a businessmare, not a politician, and you hurt my bottom line, so I have to take action.
Thank you all for your time.

Trixie? I wanted to thank you for pulling Fluttershy and Lyra out of that mess. There was only so much I could do at the time, and... yeah. Thanks.
That said, maybe it'd be best if you don't talk to Lyra about the version of her you know just yet. She's getting capital-i Ideas, and she needs time to rest before she starts getting more and ending up right back where she was.

[Private to Kyouko and Teddie]
Kyouko, Theodore.
Just so you know, I'm still gonna need you guys to come in tomorrow. I know it's a really stressful time, but if there's one thing I've learned in life it's that you've got to roll with what life throws at you. If nothing else, a day at the shop might be a good way to help Kyouko learn how to... [she hesitates, before glancing aside and coughing into a hoof.]...bear it, maybe.

[Private to Lyra and OU!Shy]
You two are on strict bed rest orders for the next week. Doctor Bon's orders.
If you two so much as think of sneaking out on me or not getting the rest you need, you're on poison joke harvesting duty for a month. And I'll figure out a way for you to have to do it without your unicorn magic, too.
I'm serious. Equestria is okay now, get some sleep.

[Action]
That second thought did the trick, she's not afraid to say it now.]
It's no problem, Fluttershy. However, tell Fluttercruel that while I'm always happy to do business with you, she can have those coffee beans with a heaping spoonful of stay the hell out of my store and one of keep your hooves off of Lyra. She's on the list too until she can learn what "being cruel to be kind" really means. If she wants something from here, she's gonna have to get it through you.
[Action]
...I could have easily stopped Fluttercruel from punching Lyra in the nose. But I didn't. I trust that she did the right thing.
[Her voice then becomes firm.]
But please don't tell me my child's cutie mark and special talent is wrong. She helped me realize something. Back in my Equestria, there was a time where I was in denial of the harsher truths of nature. She took control of this body to force me to look at it, and... I didn't react well. I turned into a nightmare... Nightmare Whisper, and I did things which I still regret. I took away everyone's pain and bought it all to myself. Every agony, every hubris, every obsession, every heartbreak, all of it.
I couldn't stand to see things be so vicious, so I tried to create a mask over all of Equestria. Everypony would be just innocent foals, never learning, never growing, never changing.
And worst of all...
[Fluttershy's voice takes on a pained tone.]
...If things had gone a little differently... if I had made one slightly different choice... I would have killed millions of unborn foals. But Fluttercruel helped me realize that the dark and vicious needs to be accepted or else things would never get better. They would only stagnate.
[Fluttershy then hands back the candy bars over to Bonbon.]
We're in this together. Her punishment is mine, and vice versa. We're sorry to have bothered you.
[She then turns to leave, not even taking back the five bits.]
[Action]
I respect your decision, though. Hopefully you can help her figure out where she crossed a line tonight.
[There's a quiet headshake and Bon Bon stops the Flutters long enough to hand the candy back - along with a little bit extra.]
But somepony else had a point earlier, too. Just because you did bad doesn't mean you aren't hurting. Take what you paid for, please. Just... I know you can do better with those talents. I've heard it. There's a reason Lyra trusted you enough to even let you that close.
Re: [Action]
Fluttershy solemnly nods as she takes the candy back.]
...Fluttercruel and I have only known each other for a little over a year... We still have a lot to learn about each other, we see. Thank you.
...And please tell Moth we said "hello".
