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.

[biggestdreamer]

I don't think I understood any of that.

[forgedinbattle]

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

[forgedinbattle]

What parts are tripping you up, kiddo?

[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.]

[waterproofed]

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

[pompous_today]

... ponies?

[biggestdreamer]

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

[forgedinbattle]

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

[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.

[forgedinbattle]

People take themselves too seriously.

[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.

[waterproofed]

That's putting it mildly.

[alwaysaquestion]

I won't argue that.

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

[mom_to_us_all]

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

[forgedinbattle]

At least you'll never be the most embarrassing member of the family?

[forgedinbattle]

Yep. Maybe you all lucked out. I'm not exactly the best person to be related to. [No, seriously.]

[forgedinbattle]

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

[forgedinbattle]

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

[alwaysaquestion]

You can't be that bad.

[forgedinbattle]

You might be surprised.

People I like tend to become targets, for one thing.

[waterproofed]

[snerk] Yeah, that honor will have to go to someone else.
