“Yes We are.” She glances over at Arcel. “We’re surprised your son didn’t tell you. We’ve been in a relationship with him for quite some time now.”

Arcel chuckles nervously, as he opens his mouth to speak, his mother gets up and bows, he pauses, “… mom?”

Nightly, “Oh great and powerful Nightmare Moon, I can’t believe I am lucky enough to have my son be blessed to be your consort,” stands back up, “I, Nightly Showers Swirl, am 3rd chair of the Hoofington Cult of Nightmare, it is an honor to meet you,” she bows again.

Arcel at this point, is mirroring his dads original expression, he didn’t really think she was THAT serious about the club she was in.

Eon, finally getting over his stupor, clears his throat, “Exactly how long have you been with my son? I am curious just how long he was planning on waiting before talling his parents that he had found a mate… and mated,” looking over at what are apparently his grandchildren.

Nightmare Moon sighs. “It’s been quite a while. Close to two years, now.”

She turns to Arcel’s mother. “What signify the words, ‘Lux ex tenebris’?”

((ooc: The proper response is 'that is the depth of darkness you ought to retire from, in order to gain the true light.’, but it’s probably unlikely that the rites have survived a thousand years intact.))

“Yeah, he’s my dad. And, if you’re his bro, then I guess that makes you our uncle. :D” 

Twister gasps, “That is So COOL! I have never been an uncle before!” glomps Lunar, “Hi Nephew!”

Moonlight hugs the both of them, giggling.

Lunar goes over to him as well. He smiles. “I am Prince Lunar Swirl, griffon-in-spirit warrior in-training, and this is my sis, Moonlight. We have another sibling, but, she’s probably building stupid play structures, or off being a snob.”

Twister chuckles a bit, smiling, “Oooh, you have the same last name as me, are we related! Do you know my big brother Mythic!” Points, “That pony there?”

Arcel sighs again, his mom starts to come too, “Mom, you okay?”

Nightly, “Oh… y-yes…. I…” she looks at nightmare again, swallows, “….. a-are you the… the Actual Nightmare Moon miss?”

“Yes We are.” She glances over at Arcel. “We’re surprised your son didn’t tell you. We’ve been in a relationship with him for quite some time now.”

We offered him one, once. He turned Us down.

We suppose We could go see if he’s changed his mind.

Arcel/Mythic Swirl here: The Mythic(’s) Parents…

Nightmare Moon takes this to be her cue. She opens the door, then walks down the steps into the grand hall.

“Greetings, Swirl family, and welcome to Our castle. Please, enjoy Our hospitality.”

Arcel looked back to his family worriedly, his father seemed a bit in shock,…

Suddenly, Lunar ran into and around the grand hall, Moonlight chasing him. He appeared to have a ball in his mouth. “HRAHRA, CAN’ CATCH MEH, MOONIGHT!”

Moonlight: “Yes I can-Oh! New ponies!”

Moonlight stops her chase and walks up to Twister. “Hi! Who’re you?”

“Greetings, Swirl family, and welcome to Our castle. Please, enjoy Our hospitality.”

Arcel looked back to his family worriedly, his father seemed a bit in shock, he had never actually seen his father in a state where his jaw hung open before. His mother… had fainted, “Mom!” rushes to her side, sighs, “…. well…. that went as well as could be expected…”

“Hey!” A loud yet young voice calls out, seems as though Twister had woken up, he was on the cart with his front hooves hanging over the edge of it as he holds himself up, “You’re one of them Alicorns, that’s so cool!” leaps off the cart and darts up to her, looking up, “Wow, you’re really tall and your mane is so cool, how did you get it to do that, how did you get so tall, why do you have wings and a horn?” he continued asking questions in fast succession, bouncing in a circle around her.

Nightmare Moon looks down at Twister with a mildly uncomfortable smile. “We will gladly answer your questions, but first We should make sure your mother is all right.”

She quickly walks over to Arcel. “How is she?”

Buying what? Data on Our complete defensive measure are available to anypony that shows an interest. The citizens of the Lunar Empire must be given evidence that Our measures to keep them safe and sound are both complete and do not threaten their safety in any way.

((ooc: The plans she gave Sturm are a complete fabrication. They’re what she shows to angry environmental groups when they claim some endangered species is being wiped out by her automated CIWS.))

I meant that you’re buying Sturm’s disguise.

((Starbuck underestimates her.))

*Nightmare Moon sighs, then drags Starbuck outside by his ear.*

Of course We know that’s Sturm, you foal! We’re giving him false plans!
