[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!]]

...

Oh.

...

What if we made really special cake? [Scraping the bottom of the barrel, Spike]

[doublethefun]

Assuming that at least some of them are good-natured enough to humor thee, a question yet remains: Canst thou bake?

[huffythedragon]

Me? I sure can. I bake the BEST cookies.

[doublethefun]

[oh good. As long as she doesn't have to. It's probably been a while since she has set hoof in the kitchen.]

It might be worthwhile to have a pet project. However, if this place automatically brings about the changes in season, we will have to push for an early spring - before it can do the job for us.

[minus alicorn magic. Otherwise there's not much point in working together with everypony.]

[huffythedragon]

You mean beat the weather? Do you think we can do that?

[doublethefun]

If the weather here is amenable to deliberate change by outside entities. [i.e. not the castle]

[huffythedragon]

Well...it's worth a shot I guess?

[doublethefun]

[heh]

Most things are, Spike. Although we should first ascertain the assumptions we have been working with before contacting everypony.

[research first, Spikey-wikey.]

[huffythedragon]

As-ser-tan?

[What are big words. And research is Twilights bag, don't make him do it D:]

[doublethefun]

To establish, to be sure, to determine, to [a small smile] make certain of.

[anddd guess who can't read, Mr. Number One Assistant?]

[huffythedragon]

OH. I get it, test it out and research and make sure. Seriously what is it with you ponies and the big words?

[Curse his miserable life ;;]

[doublethefun]

[a chuckle]

It makes us sound smarter. Besides, we have the utmost faith in thy abilities and intelligence.

[not to mention you lived in a library. With Twilight the ponypedia.]

[huffythedragon]

You do?

...Of course you do. I am super smart after all.

[doublethefun]

Then I foresee no problems with this endeavor, especially with thee at the helm.

[a bit optimistic, but hey. If it works...]

[huffythedragon]

I won't let you down, Princess. I'm a number on assistant for a reason, after all.
