[there’s the sound of rustling sheets over the journal as well as some muttering]

Honestly, ‘Tia. [have some unintelligible muttering as somepony shoves her head under the pillow. One might be able to make out something about ‘flashy sun ponies,’ but not much else.

Geez. What sort of lazy pony is still abed at three in the afternoon?

Regardless of your guess, there’s a louder rustling as she finally sits up, pillow balancing on her head. She glares at the offending curtains, which are oh-so-innocently pulled back, letting cheery beams of sunlight into the room.

...

...Wait. This is not her room. Although it is undoubtedly lavish, it is still not her room. In one quick movement, she throws back the sheets and hops down to the floor. Trotting over to the window, she peers out and, yup. This isn’t Canterlot either.

Well, shit. There’s only one explanation, obviously. Incoming Royal Canterlot Voice, guys. Duck and cover.]

Villainous cur! Dost thou believe that thou canst ponynap the Princess of the Night without facing dire consequences? We will teach thee a lesson that will reverberate throughout time itself; thy children's children will quake in fear at the mere mention of Our name. Foolish foal! Thou didst not even lock the door!

[a confused pause]

...Or even bar the windows. Or try to stop my magic.

[...

...

Yup, she’s heading into the hallway now] ‘Tia? Guards? Is anypony around?

[[ooc: Open over journal or in person!]]

[checklist]

[ Subject change YAY! ] I'd love to give you a tour, Princess! It would be my pleasure. [ She will be the worst tour guide ever. HUZZAH! ]

[doublethefun]

Very well, then. [glancing at her door, still a bit bemused. Castles don't usually have room numbers.]

I am in [insert room number here.]

dictated -> action

[checklist]

[ Funny, Twilight thought the exact same thing about the room numbers.

anywho- ]

I'll be there in a jiffy, Princess!

[ Literally, as she teleports there in a flash of magenta magic.

Hi! ]

[doublethefun]

Hello, Twilight Sparkle. It is good to [actually] see thee.

[checklist]

It's good to see you too, Princess!

[ And she does seem happy to see her! After Nightmare Night, Twilight knew the Princess was a good pony. Unlike.... all of her friends, who came from before that time. ]

[doublethefun]

[and there's a smile as she relaxes a bit. Hey, it's nice when at least one pony doesn't run away screaming.]

Where would you like to begin?

[checklist]

Oh, perhaps we should start from the bottom and work our way up.

....Or maybe from the top, and work our way down?

[ ...Yes, this is important. ]

[doublethefun]

[a pause as she considers this conundrum]

Whichever way you deem the most appropriate, Twilight Sparkle.

[...briefly wondering if this is gonna end well]

[checklist]

...All right! We'll start from the bottom floor, and work our way up. [ DECISION MADE! Gonna start trottin' to the stairs, unless Luna feels lazy and wants to teleport. And/or use the elevator. ]

[doublethefun]

[nope, she's just gonna follow. Teleporting works better when she actually knows the place. Also elevators are probably some sorta newfangled death trap.]

Very well. [hm] How long have you been here?

[checklist]

OH! Well, let's see. It's been.... about a week? And a half?

[ Obviously this is enough time to be an expert, right?

Especially since almost the entire time was spent trying to stop a rampaging dragon and/or looking after said dragon after he fell asleep. ]

[doublethefun]

[that gets you a laugh]

A week and you are already on the welcoming committee. Would you feel better if we got somepony else?

[not said unkindly]

[checklist]

[ Twilight has the good grace to act a little bit sheepish, and not offended and/or overconfident. ]

Yeah, I guuuuuess I might not be the best person to give a tour. I admit, I've actually been too busy since I arrived to get a proper tour myself...

[doublethefun]

[awww]

We can explore together if you wish.

[checklist]

[ And now excited again. ] I would like that very much, Princess!

[doublethefun]

[she smiles as they reach the lobby area]

Now then, I assume this is the ground floor.
