[in the lobby today, you'll find one of the resident ponies giving her magical offspring an impromptu lesson of sorts. Said magical offspring is also clad in an awesomely stylish vampony cape, for some reason. Must be a new toy.]

Nay, 'tis closer to [she pauses and stands up straight. Wings are spread, head thrown back, and she is practically (most definitely) looming over the filly.] 'Mwahahahahahahah!'

[as the echoes of the surprisingly malevolent laugh fades away, the foal rears up on her hind legs, her forehooves holding the edges of the cape open in an attempt to look bigger and to imitate her mom's wings.] Mwahahahahaha! Give me candy or I'll gobble you up!!

[at that, Luna has to sit down. And try not to laugh too hard.] V-very good. Mine hooves are shaking.

[the child pouts] No you're not. [a pause] Are you?

[[ooc: dictated/action. Open to everypony!]]

[Well, Fluttershy was out and about with her daughter today... but then, SCARY LAUGHTER EEEEEEK! So there's a terrified pegasus hiding behind some curtains. The unicorn foal, however, just pokes the curtains.]

Mommy...?

[doublethefun]

[Luna looks over at the quivering curtains and. Oops.

She quietly walks over, her curious foal trailing behind.] Fluttershy?

[3_butterflies]

[The unicorn waves a little to the family.]

Hello, Auntie Luna.

[And after a bit, Fluttershy manages to poke her head out, looking embarrassed.]

... Um. Hello.

[doublethefun]

[Luna smiles and nods at the unicorn filly. Oh no, what was her name??] Hello to thee as well.

Hiya Star! Hi Aunt Fluttershy! Look at my cool cape!

[Luna looks at Nine. This is kinda the same way she was familiar with Rarity and Spike. Interesting.]

[3_butterflies]

[Fluttershy gets up on all fours, looking confused that the fillies know each other. Starlight smiles, walking up and getting a closer look at the cape.]

It's so pretty! I want one just like it!

Um... we were just out, you know... Shining Armor is with the other one, Shining Spark...

[doublethefun]

[Nine does a little twirl, showing off the cape.] Aunt Rarity made it for me! Maybe you can ask her for one too!

[...poor Rarity.

Fluttershy gets a bit of a wry smile from Luna.] Shining Spark? A most telling name indeed. [hmm] How art thou, dear Fluttershy?

[3_butterflies]

Mommy and Daddy haven't let me and Spark see anypony! We had to ask and ask and ask and ask to get out today.

[... w-well THEY HAVE THEIR REASONS. Fluttershy gulps.]

We're, um, we're okay... we've just been trying not to... see... certain ponies...

[like sisters.]

[craggyfaced]

Afternoon, my lady. [He glances at Nine] Who is your young friend?

[doublethefun]

[Nine 'eeps' as the stranger makes himself known and makes a beeline for Luna. A few seconds later, a pair of big green eyes peeks out from behind one of her mom's forelegs.]

Greetings, Sir Durge. This is Nine. [she moves her leg, exposing the dusky filly] Say hello.

Um. Hi Sir Durge. [her ears perk up as she looks curiously at him.] Are you a knight?

[craggyfaced]

[There is the tiniest smirk of amusement.] I am.

[doublethefun]

Whoa! [somehow, those big eyes get bigger and she takes a few steps closer]

Do you fight off manticores and hydras and timber wolves and gigantic [at this point, she tries to emphasize the absolute hugeness that she's referring to by waving her little forelegs in a circle] star bears?

[...does the endless prattle seem familiar to you, Durge?]

[craggyfaced]

[Extremely, yes, but he's barely fazed by it, and maybe even a little amused. It's hard to tell. But he kneels down a bit to speak to her.]

None of those things, I am afraid, young filly. Only bandits and wildmen and feydrim, most recently.

[doublethefun]

Aww. [though her ears perk up at the mention of those new things] What's a wildmen and a feydrim?

[cantacquityou]

[Edgeworth walks on by, returning from a leisurely stroll outside.

Walking along with him and holding on to his finger is a tiny girl of two sporting long, silver hair with black highlights, his trademark bangs and silver eyes, clutching a stuffed white horse doll. Oh, and a tiny cravat. Don't forget the cravat. Upon seeing Luna and her little mirror-image, she points and exclaims brightly:]


Daddy! Com'anyin!


[These are her little feet attempting to run towards them while still clutching Daddy's hand.]

[doublethefun]

[Luna looks up at the exclamation and smiles at Edgeworth and the little girl. On the other hoof, Nine's eyes grow wide and she takes a few steps closer to her mom.]

Greetings, Miles Edgeworth. Companions, hm?

[no prizes for guessing who he got paired up with]

[cantacquityou]

[Edgeworth blinked.]


...You certainly have a gift for deciphering baby-language.

[doublethefun]

I have heard the term afore. Yfandes is a most interesting mare.

[cantacquityou]

Then, I suppose it is no secret as to who her other parent is...


Com'anyin! Com'anyin!


[She's still trying to make her way over there despite being held onto.]

[doublethefun]

Vanyel, if I am not mistaken.

[and Nine scootches closer to Luna, finally taking shelter behind one of her mom's forelegs]

[needtoruleit]

[Billy's carrying his daughter through the lobby, heading for the front door... but this stops him dead in his tracks.

Both he and his toddler stare, wide-eyed, for a minute... until something suddenly dawns on the little girl. Remembering all those stories that her daddy has told her, a sudden grin breaks across her face, and she points!]

--Bad Horse!!

[doublethefun]

[Both ponies look up at the exclamation. Luna looks politely nonplussed while Nine frowns.]

Nuh uh. I'm a vampony! Mwahaha! [she dramatically draws her cape across her face and...tries to look intimidating.]

[needtoruleit]

Vampony?

[aside from both of them looking perplexed, Billy also looks maybe a little intimidated. good job, kid.]

Like... a vampire pony?

[doublethefun]

[the filly nods enthusiastically.] Yeah! I don't have the fangs though. Or batwings.

[Luna sighs a bit.] 'Tis much too early for Nightmare Night, in any case.

[Nine giggles, completely undeterred by the fact that it's nowhere near October.]

[needtoruleit]

I'm... pretty sure the idea of a vampire pony is the most frightening thing I have imagined in a while.

[he looks like he means it]

[doublethefun]

Rest assured, they are hardly real.

[smile] Mostly.
