paradisa | of princes and princesses

[ This entry starts off with the sound of somepony clearing their throat, and then the following is dictated. From the sounds of it, people are milling about in the background, but who cares about them? ]

All right, everypony!

In case you don't know me, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I'm a pony, and also currently serving as a princess, thanks to... some elaborate plot of the castle's, I'm sure. In case you're not aware, a good number of us woke up in dresses or royal garb several days ago. Since then...

Actually, I'm not quite sure how to... Oh, right. We're all, that is, us "princesses," trapped within a labyrinth within a dream world. We're quite all right! Aside from, well, being trapped here. And probably asleep back in Paradisa, if our guide here is to be believed. But then again, this is the same guide who didn't tell us journals could work from a dream.

[ She's silent for a moment, then sighs. ] But she means well. And she has been a great help, so I suppose we can let that one slide.

...But! Right, I had something very important to tell all of you. After our most recent trial in the labyrinth, which we overcame with friendship, [ or at least she did, ] some sort of voice informed us on how to create a Golden Egg. I assume that's of some importance to the "princes," that is, our partners? I would assume so, since...

No, right. I need to tell all of you how to make it. It's really quite simple, all you need to do is- [ And then her time with the journal is up, and it cuts off abruptly.

Have fun with that, princes. ]

Twilight?!

[ We'll just say that Twilight got a hold of somepony else's journal for now. ]

Hello Fluttershy.

Oh, thank goodness...

...That's where you girls have been this whole time? Playing some weird princess game?

Spike, I've been trapped in a labyrinth inside of a dream world for the past three days. Does that sound like a game to you?

I'm sorry if we've worried you.

The important thing is that you're okay. And we'll get out of there, I promise.

I certainly hope so. This hasn't been a trot in the park.

Are you hurt?

No, everypony's all right.

But we've been trapped in a giant maze, solving puzzles and riddles and... having it toy with us. [ Like when it showed them illusions of Fluttershy and Rarity. And Luna yelled at the maze for it. ]

--Twilight! There you are!! [SHE'S BEEN SO WORRIED ;A;]

Rarity! [ If this weren't over the journal, Twilight would give her a hug right now. ] How are you doing? Is everything all right back in the castle?

...Although I suppose, technically, I'm still in the castle. Or at least my body is. Somewhere.

Toy with you? That doesn't sound nice at all...

Yes, I suppose so. Nothing terrible has really happened yet, other than the castle's poor taste in costumery.

How about you? Is everything alright ... wherever you are?
