Letter 001: This was not on the list.

[Hello, viewers, please enjoy this image of an enormous green eye. Apparently some creature (reptilian in nature, judging by the snake-like pupil) is leaning super close to Cambot to peer at his lens. Blink, blink. After a second, he leans away and scratches his head, revealing himself to be a small purple dragon, riding on the back of a purple pony. Just another day on the Satellite of Love.] Uh, hey, Twilight?

[The aforementioned pony seems to have her nose buried in a long scroll of parchment.] So after we go pick up the new quills and parchment, we can stop by Sugarcube Corner and see if we can get some pastries for our next party, and then we'll need to go out to Sweet Apple Acres and help Applejack measure the foundation for that new storage cellar she wants to put in.

[The dragon tugs gently on Twilight's mane to get her attention.] Yeah, okay, but Twilight?

Oh, and Cheerilee wanted to talk to us about coming in and demonstrating some magic for her younger students and she has all those books to return so we might as well pick them up while we're over there, and once we get home we need to reorganize at least the Classics section and possibly Modern Spellcasting as well because someone got into them and messed everything up and nothing's where it should be anymore.

[Tugging gently has been upgraded to tugging not so gently.] Kinda need you to see this...

And the globe needs polishing, and the floor needs to be scrubbed again, and I think our clock might be thirty seconds too fast --

TWILIGHT!! [Finally he gives up and snatches the to-do list away from her.]

What is it, Spi-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIhhhhhhhhhhhhk! [Her eyes go almost as wide as her head as her breath is sucked completely out of her body at what she's seeing.]

Yyyyyyeah. [And Spike just deadpans it:] I think we're lost.


((Double intro post! Expect responses from both Spike and Twilight ([personal profile] sailormagic). \o/))

She's around somewhere. Probably preparing her customary welcome as we speak.

Whaddya m-...? Oh, right. You guys don't have humans where you come from.
sailormagic: (i r teh librarian)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... no. You're a human? What does that mean, exactly?

[She's already locking into research mode. Break her out of it, quick!]
eyeofwildtiger: (Serene)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Same as if I asked you what being a pony means.

[Hey, if it's keeping her from freaking out...]
sailormagic: (gotcha!)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[True enough. Let's keep it up then!] What exactly is a human? Is that why you seem to have such an abbreviated mane on your head?
eyeofwildtiger: (Mask)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well... [He takes a couple steps back so Cambot can get a full body shot. He'll even turn in a circle for her.] That's it, really. Two legs, two arms, no tail, no fur. [Tugs a little at his hair.] Guess if that's what you want to call it. We just call it hair.
sailormagic: (lookit mah medal!)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh, I see. Now where's my- drat, my quills are all in the library. But I'll have to take plenty of notes on this later! Will you be available later to take a few measurements?
eyeofwildtiger: (Not sure if want)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Um... I guess so? What for?
sailormagic: (dear princess celestia)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Just for my records! Knowledge isn't doing anyone any good if you just keep it to yourself, after all!
eyeofwildtiger: (Oh REAlly?)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh... Sure! If it'll help.
sailormagic: (i is smarts!)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Then I can add whatever knowledge I gain about humans to the great library in Canterlot! I'm sure the scholars there would be very happy to have it.
eyeofwildtiger: (Not sure if want)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, glad to help, then! Are you gonna keep saying humans like that? It's kinda creeping me out.
sailormagic: (ouch that musta hurt)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-23 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's cree- Oh, I'm sorry! [Raising a hoof to cover her mouth.] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act all weird! I get too wrapped up in my work sometimes.
eyeofwildtiger: (Funny story see...)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-23 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, don't worry about it. Trust me, I've seen weirder.
sailormagic: (dear princess celestia)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-26 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I suppose I have too, so I'll just try not to do it from now on. Does that sound all right?
sailormagic: (i'm soooooo happy you're here!)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! And thank you for being so accommodating in the name of research.
eyeofwildtiger: (Funny story see...)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-26 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Technically, it's not the first time, so... [He chuckles.] Just don't go screaming in my ear and we'll be cool.
sailormagic: (i am normal!)

[personal profile] sailormagic 2012-02-28 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[And she's fairly sure she knows exactly where THAT comes from.]

I think I can safely promise that.
eyeofwildtiger: (Funny story see...)

[personal profile] eyeofwildtiger 2012-02-28 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[XD Not quite what he was thinking, but Luna fits too.]

Much appreciated!
