ICE CREAM PARLOR... OPEN POST
[ If somebody approaches the ice cream parlor, they'll notice something odd. Most notably, that there are horses milling around outside. They're not even tied up or anything! Sheesh. Secondly, that there's a few bales of hay scattered around outside for the horses.
Heading inside, it's even more noticeable that something is amiss. There are no humans inside. Instead, behind the counter is a small purple unicorn. With an ice cream scoop in her mouth. A rather large chart of the shop's various treats and specialties was pinned to the wall where she could easily glance at it, and she seems to be preparing the various treats as described. As made obvious by the fact that there are dozens of them lined up on the counters, perfectly formed and weighed out to the exact specifications.
There's also a larger dark blue pony, with both horns and wings, although she seems more content to be acting as a taste tester and occasionally grabbing things from higher shelves.
....As soon as anybody walks in, they both stop what they're doing to stare. ]

...And now I'm going crazy.

Though, naturally, as she shouts that, she ends up dropping the ice cream scoop. She glances down at it.... picks it up, and puts it in the running water to clean it. And then she leaps over the counter and goes in for a nuzzle. ]

[ Twilight backs up a step, wide-eyed. ]
No, Spike, I....
It's me. Twilight. I'm not....

Thou art so... [ugh. Humans. She reaches over the counter and picks up a pad of paper and a pen.]
no subject
...MAYBE HOUSE DRUGGED HIM]
That dastardly villain!
no subject
What?
[ She still looks hurt, but now it's also laced with some pretty genuine confusion. She looks back to Princess Luna... ]
no subject
I cannot even pretend to understand the context behind that statement.
no subject
Still, he gives the ponies a look]
...I guess I should get you guys back to the stables, in case you're NOT figments of my imagination. Where's your bridles go?
[This was obviously a rhetorical question as he starts to search for something he can lead the ponies out with]
no subject
...See icon. ]

[Looking around for something to substitute]

And then walking over to the pen and paper.
Writing in big letters:

....You know maybe she should have saved some room on that paper.
...Not like she can write very well with her mouth anyway. ]

And then he screams and bolts for the door]
THE PONIES KNOW ENGLISH!!!
no subject
Well....
That went well.
no subject
Was that too heavy-hoofed?
no subject
He pokes his head in then and instantly see in the two ponies, one of which he recognizes, which some mixture of confusion and relief]
Oh. Princess...
no subject
Do you know this man, Luna?
[ ...Will he be able to understand them? I have no idea if it's only affected people who can't understand them... or if they genuinely can't speak English.....
Well either way, Twilight will be under the assumption that he can't, since nopony else seems to. ]

This is Sir Durge. We met when he was transformed into a donkey and when we were fillies.

It seems most of the others are being housed at a camp nearby, though they don't seem to recall living in the castle.

Except... ] Woah. [ There's ponies? ]

[ Prim's call is half at the pony, but also half to see if there's anyone around in the store. Who's pony is it, who let it in and... why is it eating ice cream? Is that good for them? Prim wasn't sure if it was
But after hearing no one else in the shop Prim, slowly, steps towards the pony. Animal lover here she comes ]
Hi there.
no subject
Dost thou wish to have some? [Prim might or might not be able to understand her, depending on whatever the castle had decided to do, but she'll try anyway.]
no subject
Do you like it? [ The ice cream ]
no subject
Luna just nods and doesn't appear to be overly concerned about the approaching human. Instead, she just takes another lick of the fast disappearing sundae.]
no subject
Can you understand me?
no subject
...She also briefly wonders if she's going to run away screaming like Spike did.]
no subject
It's nice to meet you.
[ Prim gives her a smile, and tentatively reaches a hand out to her, maybe to pet? Or to shake a hoof? ]
My name's Prim.
no subject
And then, with a pen between her teeth, she slowly, painstakingly writes out "LUNA" on a spare menu.]
no subject
And then she watches, moving the ice cream a little out of the way to give her more room ]
L-u-n-a. Hi, Luna. [ Now it was definitely nice to meet you ] I've never met a pony like you.
