chapter eight; double the fun

[checklist]

[ If you are in the castle today, odds are you're going to find two little fillies around somewhere. They seem to be on a mission, a mission to find something. And that mission leads them to the unlikeliest of places: inside of cabinets, under a couch, even rifling through the closet of random residents. Don't ask how they got into your room with the doors locked. They're magic.

Feel free to ask what they're up to, chastise them for rifling through people's belongings, or just run into them where it's least expected.


Open all over the castle, obviously. ]

[Wow, rude ponies. Shouldn't you know not to interrupt people when they're reading, Twilight? Geeze.

Alleyne is at the wood desk in her room, making notes in a tattered notebook, handwriting quick and precise, a book next to her about more modern survival methods. She's rather lost in thought until her monkey, Ruu comes by and alerts her that there are two ponies now sitting in her room, staring.

So now you have an elf making the same face as her icon staring at you two, quietly. Ruu waves hello! He is far more polite.]

...Can I help you?

[If it weren't for the fact this was par for the course around here, she'd look a bit more perturbed at the fact she's casually speaking to tiny ponies.]

[checklist]

Have you seen a princess?

[ Have adorable sparkly eyes staring up at yoooou.

Also, may or may not be addressing the monkey. ]

[doublethefun]

[there's a little sigh. Like she's said this several times before.]

She's not a princess, she's my big sis.

[because being a princess and a sister has to be mutually exclusive. No question about it.]

[disciplines]

[[squint]

She takes a look at Twilight, then at Luna, blinking a bit. Ruu cocks his head to the side and hrms, squeaking happily a bit. He looks happy! Well, then again, anyone looks happy when sitting next to grouchface here.]

...I'm afraid I've not seen anyone of royal bearing around, especially of the horse persuasion. Also, next time, knock. Or...clop. Or however you do that.

[checklist]

Are you sure you didn't see her? I mean, positively sure?

[doublethefun]

Yeah! She's really nice and gives good hugs but she gets annoyed when you won't go to sleep at night.

[great description there, Luna]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[This would be an Ashura coming in and having a look of 'buh?' on his face when he sees a PONY in his room. Agni and the Espeon staring at the pony from the bed.]}

I beg your pardon.

[checklist]

[ Filly-Twilight peaks her head... out of Ashura's closet. ]

Oh, hello!

Don't worry, I'm just checking to see if there's anything hidden in here.

[doublethefun]

[and filly-Luna, who has somehow made it up to the top of the closet, pokes her head over the edge]

Hi! Did you know you've got a lot of dust up here? [and she sneezes]

[wishmadeinfire]

I assure you there is not, and even if there was, it is not your place to seek it out.

_{[He motioned with his hand.]}

Please remove yourself from my chambers.

_{[Invading someone's sleeping place - how rude!]}

[checklist]

We can't just leave. We still haven't found the Princess-sister! [ See, Luna? That's called compromise! ]

[doublethefun]

[and there's a happy nod at Celestia's new title.]

Yeah! We're on a very important mission.

[wishmadeinfire]

And I assure you that your Princess is not in my closet. Please removed yourself. You are invading my privacy. This is mine and my fiance's private chambers.

[peacockherald]

_{[Is that... is that a pony butt sticking out from beneath his bed? Thank goodness he is friends with Fluttershy, so the ponies do not precisely alarm him so much as the fact it is trying to get under his bed.]}

Excuse me, but can I help you?

_{[His voice suggests he finds the pony's presence less than welcome.]}

[checklist]

[ That tone goes compleeeeetely unnoticed by this tiny pony. She wiggles a bit, but doesn't come out from under the bed. ]

Yes, I think so! We're looking for the Princess.

Is she under here? [ And then she calls out to her. ] Princeeeeeeeess!

[doublethefun]

[the blue one wiggles back out and gives herself a shake, sending bits of dust into the air.]

Twilight, I don't think 'Tia is under there. Probably.

[should they check again?]

[peacockherald]

I doubt that your Princess is beneath my bed.

<sub>[He crosses his arms, watching her little butt wriggle. If he had been in a better mood, it might have been cute - like watching a puppy wriggle.

But not now.]</sub>

So please remove yourself from under my bed.

[checklist]

You doubt... but she could be, right?

I think we should check again. Just to be double-positively sure.

[doublethefun]

That's a good idea.

[there's a look of extreme concentration and then her horn is faintly glowing with a blue light. And she's under the bed again.]

'Tiaaaaa...! Are you in there?

[peacockherald]

No, please do not!

_{[He frowns, coming forward.]}

You are being very rude.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[ALL THE RAGE]

[checklist]

Oh, wow! Those horns are so cool!

[ Sorry, too busy being distracted by something cool. ]

[doublethefun]

[whoooaaa]

How'd you get them like that? They look like candy corn!

[caligulas_aquarium]

Wwh-...

No, shut up about my horns! Though they are pretty fuckin' awwesome...

Wwhat the shit are you hoofbeasts doin' in my room?? Get the fuck out a' here!

[checklist]

Oh, we're just looking for the sister-Princess!

[ She miiight still be gazing at his horns in barely-disguised interest, though. And sparkly eyes. They're cool, okay? ]

[doublethefun]

Yeah! Have you seen her?

[she's staring at his horns as well. Maybe he can do double the magic??]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[That staring of theirs is starting to get really, really irritating. On that note, who the hell is the sister princess..............

He'll pretend he knows, for the sake of trying to get rid of them.]

No, she isn't here.

Noww for the last fuckin' time, get out. Both a' you!
