[Magical Girl Filter, even those grandfathered in by association]

[tsunpony]

Hey. I almost forgot to warn you guys about something.

Don't. Lose. Faith. In One Another. Or Create Arguments that will cause a massive rift between people. I dunno how other magical girls work, but we Precure gain strength proportional to our friendship with others, as well as our faith in ourselves and the people around us. The more people who cheer us on as well, will literally increase our power a thousandfold.

I know we had a lot of crisises in the past, but as a general note to the magical girls, don't argue with one another. If you do, make up. Become friends. Share sweets and have a generally good time. With our powers so closely tied to the bonds of friendship, any argument and in-fighting will drastically depower us to the point of Normal Girl or worse.

Try to extend this bond to people outside our community. Studies have shown anyone can gain a thousandfold boost in their power if they're encouraged.

I'm so glad you have many friends. The way magical girls work in our world usually forces everyone to be solo. You can't exactly share Grief Seeds to cleanse our Soul Gems.

My name is Mami Tomoe. I think we saw each other at that one magical girl gathering a few months back...?

I can imagine that is a difficult run for your world. I wish there was more we could do than simply cleanse your gems as well.

And yes, I remember you. I'm Ako Shirabe. Nice to see you again.

[shyformerassistant]

Okay, understood.

[Granted things were...icy between her and the native Rarity, but at least she's still friends with Dame Rarity and all the Fluttershys (or at least most of them).]

Oh um, I'm Coco Pommel. I'm one of the precures. Cure Spring to be exact.

It's nice toi meet you again, too.

Perhaps there is more. Perhaps we can become friends? I'm not sure if it will power me up, but it might power you up.

Re: [Text]

[tsunpony]

It might make everyone mutually stronger if I can finish crafting this item. It's called a Miracle Light, and it shares power between friends.

[tsunpony]

Try to get along, okay?

And of course, nice to meet you Spring. I'm Ako Shirabe, Zenith Cure Muse.

Miracle Light? That sounds like it will be really helpful. I'd love to see how it works once it's finished.

Re: [Text]

[tsunpony]

Yeah, it's sort of a staple of our gear. It'll be the first time I make one though, so here's hoping!

How long have you been working on it? I can come over and make some tea if you need a break.

Re: [Text]

[tsunpony]

About a half a week now. The trick is getting the magic density right, but I've been taking breaks. But a break would definitely be nice.

[Text]

[bustadecapinyoass]

I'll be over as soon as I can.

[With that, Mami heads off to meet with Ako.]

Re: [Text]

[tsunpony]

[Ako's sitting outside at her little workbench when she notices Mami coming up the walk. Waving at her, she unlocked the gate.]

Hey, thanks for coming over. I could use a break.

[discorderly]

...and being a normal girl would be the worst possible thing.

[Why does Discord keep getting included in magical girl stuff?]

Got it! Were you intending to send this to Celestia, or someone else? I'm really not certain she's open to friendship letters from the general public.

[tsunpony]

In a fight, yes. Why, were you expecting normal kids to do combat?

[Because you're just a pretty pretty princess at heart, Discord.]

If she wanted to after all. I'm not stopping her. I guess you fit the bill.

[Action]

[bustadecapinyoass]

It's no trouble! I'd love to get to know you better.

[That's what friends do, right?]

I'll make the tea up, okay?

Re: [Action]

[tsunpony]

I'd like that. Thanks.

[Exactly. That's what friends do.]

All right, I'll also duck in and get some apple pie as well.

[Action]

[bustadecapinyoass]

I can make that for you, too, if you want. I'm good at making cakes.

Re: [Action]

[tsunpony]

Why not? Come on in, we'll make it together.

[discorderly]

Oh, it's just fun to watch the inadequacy complexes around here grow~

[tsunpony]

Heh, hardly. Just giving everyone advice before I hang up the powers myself.

[discorderly]

...you're doing that? Willingly?

[tsunpony]

Why not? I accomplished everything I set out to do. I saved my family, my new family can protect themselves. So, I'm letting my powers go for now.

[discorderly]

So that they can protect you instead?

[tsunpony]

Why so surprised? I'm not an easy target, even without powers. But I trust my family to keep me safe after all.

You'd do it for Fluttershy, or so I've heard.

[discorderly]

You're not giving it up for anyone - you're not getting anything at all for it. Did you just get tired of getting your own hooves dirty?
