7 Bees [visual][magically locked from "Harvester" and Hain]

[Hey, everyone, say hello to a bedsheet hanging over the side of a bed. Oh wait, its just that somepony is under the bed! And that somepony is Honeycomb. And she doesn't seem to want to come out for some reason. Also, not to give her location away, she might be hiding under one of the beds in the commune]

Um...everypony, I have a super important question.

So...suppose there's a really...complicated thing going on with a friend of mine. Uh. One of my bees. Armand. Yeah.

[At this, a bee comes from under the covers, a part of it twitching. Wait no, its waving rather shyly.]

So, uh, Armand has something very, very important to tell somepony. Actually, a lot of someponies.

[ Cue some bees wearing pony costumes. The scroll zooms in on the action and it is clear that the bees are the ones actually holding and controlling the scroll. Aw, look, there's even a Celestia one.]

There's a problem with...well, the pony in question doesn't like Armand due to, uh, issues with bees. Like...generations of hostility and misunderstandings on both sides level of issues. And if Armand tries to approach the pony directly he could get in a looooooot of trouble because he's a bee. Like. Um. Eternal banishment levels of trouble.

[Cue the Celestia-dressed bee bringing out a very tiny paper bag how do bees even get anything that size and places it on Armand the bee's head. After a moment, Armand tosses it off, clearly not amused because what happened to the box they'd agreed on for this demonstration--]

And, uh, suppose it turned out Armand was pretending the whole time to be, um...a butterfly friend. So everypony was all "Hey Armand the butterfly, how are you!"

[At this, the bee looks behind him towards under the bed, looks back at the bees, then back under the bed. Shaking its head, it slips under for a few moments before coming back out in an admittedly fabulous purple-based butterfly getup. Complete with make up.]

But he wasn't really a butterfly even though he ended up with friends from it. And then somepony did stuff and another somepony might have found out about the fact Armand might not have been a butterfly but now they're taken away by the bad rainbows and also Armand might have takenlotsofpicturesofeveryponywhennoponywaslooking without their permission.

[That last part being spoken incredibly fast.]

So, um, Armand feels very ashamed about it but he doesn't know what to do. So, um, any suggestions for Armand would be...super helpful? And Armand would enjoy it too.

[And indeed, as the scroll is closed, Armand actually is enjoying strutting around like a preening peacock. What? He was a fabulous butterbee.]

[Zecora didn't understand a freaking word of that, but the message is perfectly clear.]

A revealed truth, even a bad surprise
Is preferable to continuing lies.
Trust in the heart of the friend
And that, in time, their hurt will mend.

[Yeah, that's not telling at all.]

Why, exactly, did... "Armand" feel the need to take pictures of the inside of my nose?

... Clues. To what? [He's going to keep pressing, because investigator instincts.]
callmeyork: (This doesn't look good.)

[Oh. Oh, okay. This conversation has suddenly become top priority.]

The Pale Pony's rainbows, no doubt. Have you gotten anywhere with it?
callmeyork: (I have to consult Zach about this...)

[personal profile] callmeyork 2013-12-17 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
... well. At least know you're not alone in trying to figure it out.

Zach, it seems like we're no closer than where we started... [And with that, he closes the scroll.]

In time all truths will be revealed.
If Armand has always kept it concealed
Then surely he will be rejected.
Such behavior from friends is not expected.
Instead, if Armand explains his deed
A friend is more likely to pay heed.
To lie at first was the mistake
And making it right is a risk he must take.

[Oh hey it's that pony with the nihilistic shadow.]

So you're asking whether or not to reveal yourself or keep up the facade?

[He's not going to even pretend he was fooled by Armand.]

[personal profile] foolish_seal 2013-12-17 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just gives a blank look.]

If that's the best you can lie you might as well come out with it before you get yourself hurt.

Besides, does it really matter?

The only ones who care what you are aren't actually your friends. Shouldn't have much to worry about.

Then they're either not worth it as friends, or just need some time to get used to it.

Ooooh, is it complicated like the fact your friend is from a future where a mysterious conceptual abomination has destroyed all of reality and they're the only survivor and the only way they can make sense of anything is to take the form of my grand-niece who your friend is basically in love with and who they think is absolutely perfect in every way because they have super low self-esteem due to biological complications totally beyond their control??

[GASP]

Oh also they accidentally followed the monster responsible for the apocalypse into THIS world and they were investigating to see if they could figure out if the origin of the monster was sometime in the past?

[Pinkie blinked.]

...What the bologna did I even say???

..Wait, WHAT about the Elements of Harmony!?

[Silence... not good news.]

...Something tells me there's a lot more to this than you're letting on.
