You know, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the castle managed to make you all think you were related. I mean, one of the last things I did before I got here was fix a few mess ups involving Cupid's arrows. And believe me, there's nothing quite like seeing a group of Hestial virgins chasing after a warlord's army to convince you that magic is a pretty powerful thing. Not that I didn't know that before, but you get my point.

What I want to know is who thought they were related to the ponies? [And if you think you can hear her smirking? You are right. This is kind of hilarious, okay?]

[waterproofed]

Oddly enough, not me.

[forgedinbattle]

Huh. Not like this place to miss out on a joke like that.

[waterproofed]

Maybe 'cause my own family's so screwy it didn't want to make things too real.

[forgedinbattle]

[That gets a laugh] Yeah, I'm guessing your family tree is a bit complicated.

[waterproofed]

That's putting it mildly.

[biggestdreamer]

I don't think I understood any of that.

[forgedinbattle]

What parts are tripping you up, kiddo?

[biggestdreamer]

Most of it? Except for the part about suddenly being related to a lot of people I didn't know at all.

[forgedinbattle]

Not as complicated as it sounds, really. Cupid's the god of love and his arrows are what make people fall for each other. So when they get into the wrong hands things get messy.

[biggestdreamer]

People fell in love with the wrong people? [He speaks slowly as he tries to figure it out.]

It sounds like a very cruel thing to do.

[alwaysaquestion]

[She snorts at the pony remark.] Man, the castle must have really done a number on whoever thought they were related to the ponies.

[forgedinbattle]

Right? Wonder if they'll admit to it.

[alwaysaquestion]

Probably not. People generally have an aversion to being laughed at. [And she would laugh, because it is pretty funny.]

[forgedinbattle]

People take themselves too seriously.

[alwaysaquestion]

I won't argue that.

I take it you were one of the lucky few we got a cruise instead of relatives?

[pompous_today]

... ponies?

[forgedinbattle]

Oh, so you haven't met the colorful talking, flying, magical ponies yet? [Xena, stop trolling the newbies.]

[pompous_today]

Obviously I have not, because I am having trouble believing the existence of such a thing.

[forgedinbattle]

You haven't been here long, have you? [This should be entertaining.]

[pompous_today]

Only around two weeks or so.

[mom_to_us_all]

Not me, but I was related to a lovely red panda.

[forgedinbattle]

Not sure if that makes more or less sense than you being related to a human.

[mom_to_us_all]

You know what? I'm not sure either! I was human again while the crazy lasted.

Anyway... How are you? Where were you while we were playing house?

[forgedinbattle]

I'm not bad. Ended up on some sort of giant motor-powered boat. [Read: "cruise ship"]

[mom_to_us_all]

Like a ship? You weren't alone, right? [She worries so...]
