[despite the cold, there's a pony sitting on the roof tonight. A book describing a few of Paradisa's constellations lies open next to her as she peers at the night sky with a rather critical eye. The journal lies discarded on her other side as she sets the quill and ink next to a few pages ripped from the journal.]

Even the stars are different. [it's definitely not her night sky. A quiet sigh.]

What an odd world.

[heavenly bodies moving about by themselves? Simply unheard of.

Then there's just the sound of quill on paper as she gazes at the stars slowly wheeling above her.

And if anypony bothers looking out tonight? The stars seem to be shining just a bit more brightly than usual - just because she can.]

[[ooc: open in person or over the journal!]]

It's hard, them being different. Especially at first. You get so used to them just being there.

I spent most of my first year here charting them, just so they wouldn't be so unfamiliar anymore.

[doublethefun]

'Tis a strange feeling. I feel as if I should know them all, but I do not.

...Thou hast spent an entire year trapped here?

[fredless]

Three years now, actually.

[She's quiet for a moment]

They do start to feel familiar eventually.

[doublethefun]

Three whole years? That is fairly long. [for other ponies.]

What dost thou do?

[cantacquityou]

...The sky is more luminous tonight, that I can say at least.

[doublethefun]

[yaay somepony noticed]

It is good to see that I have not lost my touch. [stupid Friday the 13th shenanigans]

[cantacquityou]

This was your doing?

It's a strange thing to get used to...

[doublethefun]

I suppose I should not immediately dislike it.

[too late]

[3_butterflies]

O-Oh, I'm not saying that! I mean, um...

[how does i make small talk with former villain princess.]

Do you... miss the stars back in Equestria?

[Guess who has been outside almost the entire time during his pony related curse? Yes, Equius, obviously, I only play one character here, but yes, even with the cold. He has been getting used to his hooves, and despite Sollux's rude reaction to this, as well as Eridan's and a few others, Equius is still very much enthralled. He tends to get excited anyway when he sees one of the Equestrian's about the castle, inside or out, and doesn't think twice about responding to her message.]

Tell me more about where you came from. [It's a demand, but, with his lighter mood lately it sounds more inquisitive, sincere.]

[doublethefun]

[a flick of an ear towards the open journal. Ah, yes. The one who changed form.]

Equestria is a land where Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi live together in peace. The Earth ponies have a strong connection with nature and consequently, are the best at growing the food everypony needs. The Pegasi are stewards of the weather while the unicorns work their magic.

[musclebeast]

Yes, I know that much, from what other's of your race have told me. Well, not of their magic and power over weather. Can unicorns and pegasi really do such things?

[elementoflol]

[It's at this point the view of the stars gets obscured by a shadowy pony form.

That vanishes.

Reappears.

Vanishes.

Reappears.

This is because Pinkie has decided that obviously late at night is the optimum time to go trampolining.]

[doublethefun]

[she blinks in confusion and then laughs when she sees who it is.

At Pinkie's next bounce up:]

Hello Pin -

[..oh. She's gone again.]

[elementoflol]

[The next time she comes up, she waves a hoof enthusiastically.]

HI PRINC--

[Gone again.]

[huffythedragon]

Everything here is like that. It's like the Everfree forest, it's weird.

[doublethefun]

Nopony controls the weather either?

[huffythedragon]

Nope, the snow came all by itself, and the leaves fell down without anypony running them off.

[What sort of witchcraft is THAT?]

Written // Bothering you again!

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'It would be fun to try to chart them, hm?'

never a bother <3~

[doublethefun]

[there's that word 'fun' again]

Do others find this activity 'fun?'

Yaaaay!

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Indeed. If Luna actually knew what Jade looked like, she'd notice he wasn't too far away on the roof. He'd probably also find out he was talking to a horse the entire time.]

'Charting stars? Quite a few just like looking at them, others enjoy finding constellations, yet others like charting their course around the planet. Each has their own merit and enjoyment.'

[shotofsherry]

[ Because what is sleep-- ]

They look brighter than usual.

[doublethefun]

[who knows]

Why, thank you.

[shotofsherry]

[ There's a very brief pause. ]

... You're responsible for that?
