If he falls on a novel, does he become a Dust cover? [Visual, Open]

[mithrarin]

[The scroll opens with Dust standing in front of a shelf packed with books. He's in the library, which as he has been told, is a place where you can get books to read. Dust had managed to miss the part where Twilights live in the library, but truth is, he's unclear on the concept in general.]

[Falana had no libraries, you see, and Dust has technically never read a book in his life.]

This... seemed like a good idea at the time, but does anyone have any advice on where to start?

That's... almost understandable, though. Against some of those things, there was nothing anyone could do. What lessons could anyone learn from that? Except that life is unfair and you can't succeed through your own efforts?

[millionbitpipes]

They beat all those things.

[mithrarin]

The second time. The first time, it was all the Princesses saving them, wasn't it?

Maybe that's why they hid it. So ponykind wouldn't sit back and wait for someone else to save them.

[millionbitpipes]

I think they'dve been able to do it a little better if they knew what the hay they were gettin' into.

[mithrarin]

Maybe. I guess it was all a risk they took, whether or not to explain.

[millionbitpipes]

Honestly I doubt they thought that much about it.

[After seeing Celestia's mistakes over the past few years, Harvey's fairly certain she doesn't actually know what she's doing and is just making everything up as she goes.]

[mithrarin]

I don't know. I suppose we could ask them. They might even actually tell us.

[millionbitpipes]

Guess we could, yeah.

[Whether or not they'd answer is another thing.]
