Umm... I know that the Gala is coming up soon, and... I hate to bother anyone, but... I-I was wondering I could commission anypony to make a dress for me? Or if anypony could tell me where I can go to do that? I swear I will pay you however much you need. I don't need anything fancy, I'll accept anything. It's just... my first time going so... I really want to look as nice as possible for it. If you can he;lp me, thank you. Sorry to bother you.

Hello everypony, now that things are calming down... well, at least somewhat, I just want to tell anypony interested that I will be opening up my magic tutoring the first week of the upcoming month. I'll be holding sessions at the house that I live at, if you need directions then I can send them to you through the scroll. I still have my original list of those who signed-up, but if you've changed your mind I need to know now. I'm also still accepting students, so if any of you are capable of magic and need any kind of assistance then as a former student from Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, I am capable and most of all, willing to help anypony who wants it.

Just reply back to me and we can work things out, including when to have a session and on a payment method. Than you for your attention everypony. Hope that I'll be able to be of help to you!

[The screen opens up to a green pony as he's pacing; his steps are slow and deliberate, each hoof lifting a little too high as he gets used to walking. He doesn't seem to notice that his scroll has unfurled, too busy as he was trying to stay calm.]

Okay...okay, this is fine. I'm fine...there's...there's a reasonable explanation for this...

[He nearly trips but manages to catch himself, though a look at one hoof has him on the edge of panic.]

I'm dreaming. Right...that's what this is. I hit my head, and I'm in the hospital dreaming...yeah...

[He runs a hoof through his mane, but pauses to glance up at his head.]

Aww man, my hat...

[Sunset appeared on the scroll, her expression dead serious.]

Everypony, I'm sorry to bother you when the winter is like this, but I think that especially ponies form other worlds need to know something. Pinkie and I were talking, and I think I may know why we have a sudden storm. It could just be something un-schedules that nopony got told about, but... I think this could maybe be due to Windigos. I don't know for sure, I may be wrong entirely, but if I'm not then you need to be warned. Windigos feed off hatred and fighting, they could completely freeze over Ponyville in no time if they get enough power. They are very dangerous and almost unbeatable

As I said, I'm not for sure. I could just be over-thinking it. But I'm following my gut, and that's what it's telling me. If I'm right then be ready, because the Windigos won't stop until it's finished feeding off our anger and there is only one way to stop them, one that's gonna take a while to figure out how to create if we don't act soon."

[Now she could only hope that she was wrong.]

Step 1: Find a good town for shopping.
Step 2: Get an advance on my funds.
Step 3: Drag several ponies along for the ride.
Step 4: Shop a lot
Step 5: ????
Step 6: Profit.

I need to find lights for the house decorations. It's only 32... well, 31 days in a couple of hours, days till the holidays!

Hey, hey people who can read this: Write down what you want for Christmas and I'll try to get it if it follows the requirements:

1. Affordable
2. Not maiming.
3. Not world domination.

Cheers! I'll be making egg nog soon.

Y'know, I hate to admit it, but... I really don't know many of you. I guess I'm so used to staying away from prying eyes that I'm kinda outta the loop. Though... I have to thank everyone who helped me out when I was stuck in Sunset Shimmer's body. Especially Sunset.

Though, um... I think I kinda went overboard with the thanks, so there's a bunch of sweets outside my home in the Commune if you want some! Help yourself, I don't mind.

Just make sure you leave some for everyone!

[Action]

[And outside, there is indeed tons of sweets and other goodies waiting. Sasami still doesn't know how she made so many and why, but she felt compelled to do so. Like she said, help yourself, just be FAIR.

Oh, and for the record? Most of them involve carrots.]

Hey everypony! So... there's been a little thing that I've been planning on doing for a while now and I want to run it by real quick. To see if anypony would be interested in helping me out.

Well you see, I know that many unicorns here are from other universes. Universes that may not have magic or it works vastly different in that respective universe. As such I think that there are plenty of you who aren't sure how to go about with learning to use that magic, or their may be ponies here who are having difficulties with it. That's why I've deciding to create a Unicorn Tutoring Program, to educate unicorns on their magical abilities and how to use them properly, or just give them the extra help that they need to continue to use it. I've learned magic under one of the best so I'm more than happy to help anypony who believes that this could be beneficial to them.

But in order to go about it, I need some help. I need some stuff like school supplies and magic textbooks, if there are any ponies who have such things that they are willing to offer. I also need a few donations, not much but a just a little so that I can afford any remaining supplies needed. If anypony would like to sign up, I'll establish a meet-up for it soon once I have a few things in order. We can also discuss payment methods at the meet-up. Likely it'll happen at the museum that Pinkie opened up not to long ago, but we'll see.

So... I guess that's it. Thanks for listening everypony and if you can help em out, I'll really appreciate it!

[Atop the highest tower in his castle, the Overlord stands, a deep blue figure against the bright blue sky. The smirk on his face speaks of nothing but confidence and self-satisfaction.]

Hey, Equestria. Look up.

[No sooner does he pronounce those words then the leading edge of a black disc surges across the sun high above, devouring its light in increasing gulps. Within seconds of its appearance, the great blackness eclipses the sun entirely. Darkness falls across the land like a shroud.]

[Mercifully, the eclipse only lasts a few seconds before the sun peeks around the corner of whatever is blocking its light. As quickly as it came, the black disc fades, relinquishing to the star its rightful place in the sky. Whatever it was, it can no longer be seen thanks to the solar brightness.]

[On the scroll, the Overlord's smirk has only grown wider.]

That one I call Nemesis. It's a planet I've brought in, with the fortunate property that it's just the right size to eclipse the sun for Equestria from where I've dropped it. You'll see its counterpart, Antithesis, tonight, when it blocks the moonlight from you all for a little while.

[Zetta casually polishes one hoof on the fur of his chest with an abstract amusement, letting that sink in.] Oh, I'm sure you're not impressed by a short eclipse each day... but I don't expect you to be. It'll take me a couple of weeks to get these things tidally locked, so they block the sun and the moon both, rise to set. So you might want to spend the next couple of days enjoying this whole 'light' thing. Pretty soon it'll just be a fading memory... and Equestria will be plunged into eternal darkness. No sun, no moon, and no hope.

Unless your Princesses cede rulership of the land to me.

Hey, it's better than eternal darkness, right? [Zetta smiles in false encouragement, making a 'come on' gesture with one hoof.] Of course if you doubt I'm serious, then I'm sure you could just do your best to take care of the crops and the animals and the weather and all that crap despite the diminishing sun. I figure you can keep it all together just fine if none of you waster your effort attacking me. At least, until eternal darkness falls.

Two weeks, Princesses. This world as a Netherworld is better than this world as a dead world.

[Playing safe and going with audio, no way was she showing her face right now. Not after turning her back on everypony long ago.]

Umm... hi. Sorry to bother anyone, but... I just got here. I'm not exactly new to Equestria, but it's been quite a while since I've been here. Plus it looks like Equestria, but I know a thing or two about alternate worlds. So... I guess I just want to ask what exactly this Equestria is the one I think that it is and why I may have been brought here.

I'd appreciate an answer... though you don't have to give me one, I guess. I'll figure it out somehow. But if anyone... I mean anypony could help me, then I'd... I'd really appreciate it. So... thank you. That's all.

[Well she tried. She was still learning to ask out for others instead of relying on herself or manipulation, so give her some time.]
