Seventeenth Bolt

*Someone's feeling down to earth today...by which the narration means Alastor currently resembles an earth pony rather than a batpony. His eyes aren't glowing either, and he's dressed rather like a priest. It's hard to tell if his ears are still oversized, though, because they're flat against his skull.*

In case anypony was wondering what it's like being an inanimate object, it's really kind of unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend it.

Lyra, um...do you mind if I stay with you for a while?

I'll get a salad for you too, just in case.

[superstylishsquid]

Heh, probably a good idea. I'll probably eat a lot.

*Don't mind him covering his mouth to hide a minor cough.*

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Yeah. We'll help you recover after all. Seems to be the homesteads theme lately.

[superstylishsquid]

Not surprised, it's been a rough few weeks.

I guess just asking the princesses for an eclipse is out of the question, huh?

[humanesqueheartstrings]

If you ask really nicely, they might? They... kind of owe us.

[superstylishsquid]

Might not be a good idea right now, though. People might flip out, given what just happened.

*More coughing. Nothing intense, but he's clearly not in the best shape.*

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Just rest up for now. You'll need the time for it.

[superstylishsquid]

I should be fine. I've been in worse shape before.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Really? You look pretty worse off.

[superstylishsquid]

Watch the last available episode of my canon sometime, I was a lot worse than this. My body was on the verge of falling apart then.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Oh okay. Well I'll take your word for it then.
