PONIES!

[Suddenly, a guard pops onto the screen. A royal guard. A very worried royal guard.]

Ponies of the other worlds, Princess Twilight, Princess Luna, we...we need your help. The princess...Princess Celestia...one moment, she was fine, she was discussing with us details of an upcoming trip she was taking, and then, then suddenly--

[The guard moves out of the way, revealing a very large crater of magic with Celestia's crown within, followed by a line of injured and unconscious guards, and ending with a broken stained-glass window at the end of the hallway.]

We're looking for her now, but...we think something's wrong.

We'd like your help, if possible, to...well, find her and see that she is all right.

...Tia is gone?

[That's.... he's.... he's confused.]

[Royal guard giving you the stink eye. Just because you're reformed doesn't mean he has to like it.]

Yes...she was here, and then...she suddenly...just...

[Huff.]

She blasted us! And now she's gone!

[Stink eye was unaffected, Discord used calm composure.]

Blasted you?

Whatever for?

Edited (wroooong icon) 2013-11-23 18:50 (UTC)

We don't know!

But perhaps somepony might know?

[Yup, looking at you, Discord.]

[just smirks, giving a gently shrug.]

I don't know, my hardheaded fellow....

[Oh hey, why does the voice sound so close? And why does it sound like it's behind you?]

You tell me.

[So it's a gray-haired Aquapony. He has no idea what's going on here AT ALL except that is is an adventure with wee colored ponies, so...Tuesday? Must be Tuesday.]

Missing royalty, you say?

[That's probably what they're getting worked up about back home, surely these two things must be connected!]

Count me in to this adventure! I'll check underwater for anything weird!

[Sigh. Well, as long as he's here anyway...]

Alright. What exactly happened before she went off?

Thank you, sir! We'll take what help we can get.

GAH! I mean...

[He wasn't flailing! Noooo, no...]

Well, there was talking, and...there was a very strange sound outside....and then suddenly she had a shield blasting around her and she ran through the window!

[Princess Twilight has her wings out, so the guard answering can be sure it's her.]

Please try to remain calm. I need to know exactly what happened.

I'll be in Canterlot as soon as I can manage; not all is well in Ponyville, either.

Oh, calm down. You're supposed to be a guard to the princess. I guess standards have lowered over time....

[Discord looked around the room. Quite a lot of it was a wreck. Not his kind of wreck though, just normal destruction.]

Mm, no, can't say that I did this. Not really my style.

What'd it sound like?

[Oh, dear. And here Nozomi was hoping she wouldn't have to break IT out...]

Please, remain calm. Nothing can be fixed if everyone's in a panic. I'll be more than happy to help. Do you know anything she might have said that could help?

You know, I wasn't planning on setting up new branches of my shop, but if it's to save a princess, I think I'll make an exception.

(The dragon grins.)

Fair warning: my services aren't cheap.

A member of your royals has gone missing? Very well. I will go and look for her as well. Dodori, Shiri, come. We have work to do.

Yes my queen! [Chorused the pair of Fairy Tones.]

Y-yes, Princess Twilight!

[A quick bow.]

You see, Your Highness, Princess Celestia had been discussing some future plans for the next few months, when suddenly, there was a very strange bright flash of light and sound. The next thing we all knew, the princess was screaming and blasting the hallway. Then she jumped out of the window before we could stop her!

Ah...well....cha choo? It was a cha choo, as opposed to a chuh choo, or a train, which goes...well...you gt the idea, sir.

GAH!---I mean, we're willing to pay, as long as you don't do anything..well, you know. Unseemly, like set her on fire. She is our ruler, after all!

What!? But if not you...

Think carefully. Did she look any different after the flash?

Thank you! We...we can't seem to find her. She went so fast that nopony had time to trail her!

[At this, the guard thought.]

Well, I didn't--

[Suddenly a head pops up.]

I did! She called us 'cullionly stallions'.

[And the head pops back down.]

...What he said.

Edited 2013-11-23 22:59 (UTC)

I...I honestly couldn't tell. It happened too fast. Forgive me, Princess...

As much as I can, it's not my style; she'd be worth more the cleaner she is when I bring her back, right? Sounds like fair business to me.

So...got a face to go with the name?

No, no, it's fine.

Discord pulled a trick here, and now a lot of the ponies from other worlds are... older or younger-looking, and without memory of having been here before. It's possible something similar happened to her.

[Oh, dear - big words. Though, it doesn't take much to figure out the effect.]

It's obvious that someone's set her off then... Did she have any enemies? [Wait...] Equine enemies?

Well, she is a white mare, alicorn, so she has wings and a horn. She has hair with pink, green and blue streaks, purple eyes, and...well, she knows how to use the Canterlot royal voice. So she can be very loud.

Hopefully, that helps?

Not that we know of! Only Discord, but Discord's reformed...ish.

...Oh. Oh dear, I hope that isn't it, but that could explain it! If she was running from us, maybe she didn't recognize us!

Edited 2013-11-23 23:10 (UTC)

That's possible, but I don't know very much about Princess Celestia's past. There might be another reason.

Very loud, very proud and very rebellious...sounds like my kind of girl.

Alright, I'll take the job. Keep that check blank for now; we'll talk numbers when I get back.

Then perhaps taking to the skies will be of some help. It seems someone as notable as the Princess would be easier to trail, especially if she's suddenly in the habit of leaving a swathe of destruction.

I am certain with this many people marshaling to the call, she will be found soon.

Well...to be fair, uh. I don't think most ponies do.

[Slightly awkward silence there.]

OUTRAGEOUS! I'll start the search right away, then!

[But before he goes to leave to do just that, he pauses.]

Could you tell me what this princess of yours looks like?

Then obviously somepony else.

C'mon, chop chop! You're supposed to be keeping up. If it was not me, than it most surely must have been.... me.

Well, yes. I may need to ask her about it after this is all over.

[She quickly takes note of this.]

Nothin' like - [And he makes a very good approximation of a TARDIS's landing gear.]

No, not at all.

Well, she's white, and have streaks of pink, green, and blue in her hair, and purple eyes.

Huh. [So the kid hasn't been up THERE, either. Maybe he got lost again.]

Well, if you hear that, don't wave those spears at the guys who come out. We're gonna need 'em.

Understood! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for her!

[And would, of course, forget all about this description at the first mention of some disaster. Whoops.]
