Good.

In the future, however, do not hesitate to give Us your opinions, even if We don’t listen to them. ‘Yes ponies’ have no place in Our Queendom.

Nightmare Moon puts a wing protectively around the real Vriska.

“You asked to be a member of Our family, and We accepted. That means you’ll have Our protection and support. Always.”

“Thanks, Moony…”

All the doppelgangers dim a little, slowly. Vriska continues to twitch slightly as she looks around the room.

“We don’t think this is the best time to talk about it, but whenever you’re ready We will listen. Now, how about we leave this place for somewhere more comfortable?”

Exactly! We have everypony We need!

Ponies who love Us…

Perhaps We do. We still have a terrible headache.

*Hugs!*

We are Nightmare Moon. Our name itself is synonymous with power and terror. If anything, We underestimate Ourselves.

…

Thank you both for your kind words.

Do not fear, loyal subjects. Our plans are formulated with the utmost caution. They will not fail.

It is a form of physically condensed, living magic, extracted by force from ponies or other sapient magical creatures. The extraction process is not generally survivable. A single dose can double or even triple a unicorn’s magical potential, but unless it is carefully filtered it can have terrible side effects that endanger both the user and the ponies around them.

Really? We must work on improving Our image, then.
