8th Sun: The Duchess Revealed! [Visual]

So it would seem the sleeping crisis is over. I'm glad that mess has gotten sorted out; it got in the way of my announcement. I wish I could have done this sooner, but there is not changing that now.

[She sounds serious. Could it be bad news?]

I'm sure you all remember the fun times you had during Hearts and Hooves Day, especially a select group of you who were 'encouraged' to go out and have a date.

[Nope, not bad news, nor anything serious.]

I do hope you all enjoyed it. It took me a while to set that all up. In the end, however, I feel things turned out far better than I had expected. I had intended it as simply a veiled way for you to make a new friend, but some groups may have gotten a little more out of it~. I could not be more pleased, and I look forward to both your thanks and your angry letters.

Ah, and Tails? Reimi? I am terribly sorry for the incident with the cloud. I overestimated the strength of the enchantment; had it lasted a half-hour longer it would have put you down on the ground before wearing off.

I wanted the angry messages to wait until after the event itself, after some reflection on the matter and devoid of snap judgements. It served a functional purpose.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

Oh, of course, of course. And it was only a royal pseudonym because you wanted it to come across with an air of authority.

[pirateponyprincess]

Maybe. I chose it mostly without thinking. It was either that or "The Love Maker," and I decided to go with the one with less innuendo.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

HA! If you ever do it again, go with The Love Maker. It's much better, really gets the tone of the whole thing across.

[pirateponyprincess]

I'm fairly certain I will be called out on it next time, after revealing it now. If there is a next time, however, perhaps you may take on that pseudonym and assist me?

[bluesuit_hoofy]

[Snort!] Hardly. Though come to think of it, if anyone else replicated it, we know where the blame would go, right or wrong....

[pirateponyprincess]

Which is exactly why you should handle things. Nopony would suspect the truth.

[She's joking. Probably.]
