mythic-swirl asked: *tenses, then calms in embrace, sighing* Why would you make a duplicate of some being?
The one called ‘Raven’ possesses unique powers, powers We seek to understand, and perhaps use. Our scientists assured Us the duplicate would possess her powers, but in pony form.
Hmm… Perhaps We can give you something easy to start with. We need a liability waver drawn up, for those ponies who wish to visit Our ‘giant carnivorous spider land’ nature preserve.
That depends. I can’t assist in anything illegal, so has the nature preserve been checked and approved for top safety standards by such organizations like OSHA? I can do this sort of thing in ten seconds flat, but I just need to know that I’m not dealing with a criminal or illegal acts.
No. Is that required? There are no pony-built structures within the preserve to inspect.
Really, turning the land into a nature preserve is intended as a tax dodge, what with giant carnivorous intelligent spiders being an endangered species and all. We’re not actually expecting anypony to visit, but We need to cover Ourselves just in case somepony does.

White collar crimes aren’t necessarily hard to defend, but they are more boring, nonetheless. And I’m a sort of a newbie, so I really don’t have many references. I went freelance for a while until my recent employer, Blowback, hired me.
Actually, We were referring more to drawing up contracts, writing articles of incorporation, helping Us slowly persuade the courts to alter the concept of ‘eminent domain’ in Our favour, that sort of thing.
More of a persuasion tactic, eh? I can draw up a contracts, but whom will they be for and what will they encompass?

*Sort of meeps but tries to hide it* Nightmare Moon? Oh, colt. What does she want with me?
Actually, We were wondering if We could hire you. Do you have references? How are you at corporate law?

We came as close to death as goddesses can, but We’re back, now.
So, running a cult, We see? We had one of those, once.
Yes! Did your cult get taken out by a mass blood sacrifice? We’re still waiting on a shipment of flume before we can go through with ours.
Oh, no, nothing like that. You know the old story. You get bound to slumber for a thousand years, and then a few centuries later all your so-called ‘devoted followers’ transform the group into something that’s more like a ladies knitting circle than a proper cult.
Oh, so you slaughtered them in a fit of rage, then.
Well, We might have, but it turns out Our divine consort’s mother runs one of their local sub-branches, and you know how it is with in-laws. Can’t live with them, can’t slaughter them out of hoof.

It’s always behind me, I just can’t… Hey, I know you! You’re that nice pony from the retirement center! No, wait. That’s not quite right.
No, We are Nightmare Moon.
Weren’t you destroyed or something? You look good for being dead, by the way.

Nightmare Moon looks visibly disturbed by Fluttershy’s answers. To find a world without ponies that mirrored her own so closely… but what was that about Nightmare Moon?
She thinks carefully, not wanting to give her identity away. “Have you ever heard the name ‘Princess Luna’? What about ‘Twilight Sparkle’? Or ‘Fluttershy’?”
Well, if I remember correctly, Princess Luna was what Nightmare Moon went by until the rebellion… But I don’t know anyone named Twilight Sparkle. But… um, well, I’m Fluttershy.
Oh gosh, did she say- er, think something wrong? That’d be terrible! But… Why did this mare want to know? Nothing about the situation really made much sense, to her.
Nightmare Moon’s eyes widen. If that’s the case then maybe…
She’ll have to risk it. She implants one final question in Fluttershy’s mind.
“Have you ever heard of something called ‘the Elements of Harmony’?”
