We will speak with him, then.
((ooc: My apologies to everypony, but I probably won’t be on much tonight. I had a rough day and am feeling uncreative and burnt out.))
*She pushes him away.* Do not touch Us again.
What would impress you?
Hmm… We suppose that would be acceptable. Do not make a nuisance of yourself, though.
Ah, We misunderstood. *She waves the engineers off. They look disappointed.*
Who is pursuing you?
This looks promising. We’ll get a locksmith. We don’t want to risk damaging the book with an unlocking spell.
*She leaves for a moment, then returns with a bored-looking earth pony in tow. He looks over the lock, then gets out his tools and starts to work. After a little while, the lock clicks and falls open.*
Okay, stand back… *Nightmare Moon opens the book.*
(She nods and starts to leave again, but stops.)
*Nightmare Moon thinks for a moment.*
We aren’t sure We’re the best one to ask about that. Our relationships with Our relatives have been… unconventional, to say the least. We suppose comforting is the best word, maybe. Knowing that there’s somepony there to help you if you need it.
We suppose so. *She motions a pair of engineers to come over and look at it. She looks on curiously.* What is it supposed to do?
*In a last-ditch attempt to stop his theft, Nightmare Moon fires a paralysis spell off at him.*
That is Our goal. The likes of Our armies have never before been seen on the face of Equestria.
