Moving Forward [visual]

H-Hello everyone!

[The Butterfly appears on the scroll and seems a bit... nervous? She bobs up and down and weaves in and out of the visual range and her light is fluctuating in intensity.]

So... okay, most of you know who I am. And if you don't, where the buck have you been? Eh-heh...

...okay, that came out wrong...

So... here's the thing. I know most of you know me as the cheeky, loveable butterfly, but the truth is that... there's more to appearances! You see... um... back where I came from, I was originally from a place called Lunares. It was a place where we would look down and see how everybody in the world was doing and it was on the moon! And... one day... things got pretty dangerous down there. Their sky was falling and their world was surely going to end--! So, I went to um... I-I... I decided to go help.

And, because it was dangerous... I went down not quite looking like how I normally do. I learned... a trick! Something to keep me safe. And, the thing is...

...why don't I show you...

[And the butterfly is enveloped by a light as bright as the moon. When it disperses... a new pony appears. The new pony looks up, blinks a little and gives an embarrassed smile as her eyes turn away and her cheeks burn red.]

...I wasn't always a butterfly.

Umm... it's nice to meet you?

Oh.

[OH GEEZ. AWKWARD.]

I'm sorry about that. I...hope I didn't cause discomfort, then.

[Harvey snorts in amusement.] Thanks.

So how did turnin' into a butterfly keep you safe? If you don't mind me askin'.

[She gave a soft laugh.]

No, not at all.

I was a bit confused, at first, but after seeing you and hearing you speak, I knew you weren't mom.

Still, it is quite the coincidence, I would think.
forthelifeofme: (Gentle breeze)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-26 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, here or there?

Mm...

Here, it kept me safe because I could watch everything without anybody knowing. I mean, aside from me being loudmouthed about it, which was always. But there is a sort of protection in anonymity. Knowing that what I am saying or doing would only apply to one version of me.
millionbitpipes: (Yeah well buck you too buddy)

[personal profile] millionbitpipes 2015-05-26 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
And you feel safer now?
terraburning: (reaching out)

[personal profile] terraburning 2015-05-26 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Yuelia, don't stand on top of the furniture, it's unsafe."
forthelifeofme: (Drizzle)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-26 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still a butterfly, you know.
forthelifeofme: (Rising sun)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-26 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Among the ponies, yes.

There's still a few things to be wary of, but the people are not them.

No matter what sort of distension gets spread.
terraburning: (standing tall)

Terra seems to consider this for a few moments.

"You could...stay a unicorn and just use your magic to dust?"
forthelifeofme: (Rising sun)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-26 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That's how I usually do it. I just wait for both of you to be gone.

[personal profile] terraburning 2015-05-26 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Terra tilts her head to one side as she remembers.

"Oh, so that's why the magic smelled thicker those times..."
forthelifeofme: (Sunbeams)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-26 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...right, I keep forgetting your whole magic thing...

heh...

[personal profile] terraburning 2015-05-26 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"It wasn't...a bad kind of smell?"

Yes good this is the right thing to say.

"I...kind of like it..."
millionbitpipes: (Pffft whatever kid)

[personal profile] millionbitpipes 2015-05-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah. I've been here since the beginning - Hoovesweek is annoying, but they've only got as much power as we give 'em. It'd be better if people just ignored it instead of freakin' out every time there's a new issue.
strengthinkindness: (Somtimes I'm perfect)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-27 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my...

You look very nice...
forthelifeofme: (Drizzle)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-27 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...

...

...yeah, I don't know how to respond to that.

[And why she is blushing a little.]
forthelifeofme: (Gentle breeze)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-27 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
How likely is it that ponies would actually do that?
forthelifeofme: (Default)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-27 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)


[She flushes and blusters... but here's really only one thing to say.]

Hello Fluttershy...
millionbitpipes: (Pffft whatever kid)

[personal profile] millionbitpipes 2015-05-27 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Not even a little.
terraburning: (Default)

[personal profile] terraburning 2015-05-27 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, she said something wrong.

"I'm...sorry?"

By her tone, she has no idea what she's apologizing for.

Hello...

Should...we still call you Butterfly then...?
forthelifeofme: (Overcast)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-29 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well... uh... it's okay...

I just...

How do you comment on somebody saying you smell good?

Oh! Where are you?
forthelifeofme: (Clear skies)

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-29 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll have to watch my hooves now wouldn't I?

[personal profile] forthelifeofme 2015-05-29 06:18 am (UTC)(link)


You can!

...

It's Yuelia, though...

[Her face turns redder, like she just said a big secret that she's been holding in for the longest time.]
strengthinkindness: (And good as it can be)

[visual]

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-29 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...Yuelia is a really pretty name...

Is it all right to call you that instead?
