Good.

What did you decide?

‘Nightmare Night’ is a holiday invented by Our enemies as a way to mock Us. Basically, the ponies of Equestria dress up in silly costumes, claiming that We’re so stupid We won’t notice them in disguise, and put candy out for Us, claiming We’re so fat it will distract Us.

Ah. Well, that’s her business, then.

Nightmare Moon, my friend has completed the checklist you required…(transcribed verbatim):

[X] React to water as if it was acid?

[] Desire to eat the organs as well as drink the blood of victims? (Just Blood)

[] Wither nearby plant life?

[] Feed on the breath of sleeping ponies?

[] Have an insatiable sexual appetite?

[] Leak a viscous black fluid from their orifices?

[X] Fear cats?

[] Have a third eye, imagined or real?

“I’ve told you before Ponder. My memory isn’t the greatest thing in the world. All I remember about the actual attack was the vampire that attacked me, and… and then a bright light. That’s it.”

Hmm… that reaction to water is a symptom almost entirely exclusive to the Nosgoth subspecies, yet several other symptoms don’t quite fit… Still, an aversion to cats generally indicates a neighcromantically induced vampirism, rather than a natural infection. It that’s the case, a purification spell should be able to reverse it’s effects.

So are We.

We aren’t going in costume, naturally, but We’ll need some for Our foals. Any ideas?

Of course. What do you wish to discuss?

Avenger: YES MIStress! What cateRERS?

‘Manehattan Party Services’. Here’s the list of everything We’ll need for the Nightmare Night party.

Try not to frighten them too much. We’re running out of caterers who will come out here.

Not bad. We’re working on finalising the arrangements for Our Nightmare Night party.

Why would he be hanging around her?

You’ve been doing that a lot lately.

Anyway, We have a task for you. We want you to talk to the caterers for Us. We sent them to the sun the last time when they forgot the capers, and they’re still a bit… hesitant to deal with Us directly.
