Thirteenth Starfall - The Best of Times, The Worst of Times [Visual/Action]
[Flare looks like she's had better days, honestly, her mane frazzled and the lack of sleep obvious in her features. She's in town square, lit faintly by the streetlights late at night. Her scroll is obviously put up somewhere so she can pace as she talks, needing to get this out.]
Alright, Ponyville. What I have to say to you today isn't in fear of the most recent unfathomable evil to cross our doorstep. We all know what to do in a situation like this. No matter what, we have to defend ourselves, and those we care for. I'd ask you all to refrain from using deadly force, try to negotiate if possible... but I trust your judgement in the heat of the moment.
No, I come to you today because I know how we've acted in the past year or so. I know the fears and worries eating at some of you right this very moment. I won't lie to you; the creature who we saw is powerful. Unnaturally so, if he could harm the princesses the way he did. We may not win this fight cleanly, but I assure you, I have full faith that we will drive this creature back. How well we do that... well, it depends on us.
All of us.
[At that, Flare sighs quietly, stopping in her tracks and speaking more firmly, definitively.]
That's not to say you should immediately dive for your superpowered trinkets or your ancient forbidden magics. Certainly, we have a fair share of ponies - and non-ponies - here who are well ahead of the rest when it comes to power, and their job is the most obvious; the job to confront our adversary head on.
But if you don't have those powers, or if you have them but can't trust your control over them? I urge you, please. Trust in those who do. All of us have roles we can fill. This is going to be a war, I assure you, so we'll need ponies assisting our medics, helping keep the wounded out of harm's way and on the road to recovery. We'll need fast, nimble runners to keep supply lines moving. Scholars, this is not an evil unknown to Equestria. I don't know his name, but he's been in my world's legends, so I'm sure there's something about him here in native books. We'll need you working to try to predict these movements, to find weaknesses that we can strike at.
Those of you who are able-bodied but unable to contribute to the fight on the front-lines? Group together and start warning others. Send out words to other towns as to what is going on here, lead those who cannot fight to safety. Otherwise, you can stay here alongside me - this town will be our base of commands, and we need to protect it with everything we've got.
Remember how we took on Nightmare Moon a year and a half ago, how ponies banded together for a united cause and brought her down, freed Twilight from that infernal possession. Remember the way that Cálice tore us apart by her slightest appearance, and left us unable to connect with each other, unable to form those bonds again, striking out at each other out of pain and fear. We can work together, and all play our part... but we have to try.
I assure you; each and every one of us is important here. Even those neighsayers who would rather turn tail and run, or who think this is another trick - don't be afraid of being yourself, of speaking against this! A regime that promotes peace and togetherness only works as long as there is opposition on the outside pointing out the flaws. Otherwise, the belief becomes a farce as the system corrupts itself from within. As twisted as it may seem... without conflict, we cannot have harmony. Without the occasional fight, ponies cannot truly be friends. We are all good people, and the only way for evil like this to triumph is for all of us to do nothing.
Just remember, alone we are but single souls, but together, we can achieve anything, stop anyone!
Are you with me? Are we with each other?
[And with that, Flare awaits, to see if others will speak up.]

[Wait - suck magic? That sounded awfully familiar. But this was an offworlder...]
...You know something about this guy?
no subject
Self proclaimed Lord Tirek if I'm not mistaken. He can suck magic and the cutie marks attached to it.
And if we're extending that to ALL magic, after he got that delicious alicorn magic, he's coming for MORE power. And he'll get bigger and more stompy as he does. He likes to laserbeam trees too.
Juuuuust fyi, I wouldn't take him on head on without at least a group and he can even AOE suck power.
no subject
More importantly, before evac, pass the intel on to the ponies at the Golden Oaks. They can spread it as needed, and you can get to safety.
no subject
If he could suck powers from me? We've got a guaranteed wipe incoming. Worst case scenario, it would grant him my powers and, well... I'm a power sucker too. I can take anything someone throws at me and use it to make me stronger temporarily before throwing it back at him with quadruple intensity. So you can see I'm leery about going toe to toe with this guy.
I'll do that. Should find a good spot to check with them in this insanity.
no subject
[One would have to wonder if he could handle a pegasus with Earth Pony strength, or an earth pony with unicorn magic... that's one possible loophole. Not one to test except in desperate situations, though.]
Worst case scenario, your powers would feedback on each other and you'd destroy the world. So, uh, yeah.
Try to avoid that, thanks.
