3 Cupcakes; [video]

[sailorlaughter]

Hey, everyone! Thanks for coming to my Nightmare Night party - it was a TOTAL blast!

And hey, I figured as long as you guys are getting used to being ponies and running around Equestria and stuff: if anyone sees any gold necklaces with gems in them anywhere, could you bring them to me or the Princesses or Rarity? Actually, just the Princesses is probably fine! Thanks~!

...Is there any particular reason why we'd need to keep an eye out for random jewelery?

[sailorlaughter]

Oh, they're not RANDOM jewelery! They're magic! We need them in case anything bad happens, so we can stop it!

[lessabrasive]

You have missing magical jewelery. Needed for preventing... 'bad things'.

[ Someone sounds faintly incredulous. ]

Where were you keeping them previously?

[sailorlaughter]

They USED to be locked up in the castle, but Twilight's been keeping them in her library now!

[lessabrasive]

In a-- [Aang's beard, is she serious.] --And what security did you have in this library?

You DID have security, I hope.

[sailorlaughter]

I dunno, Twilight took care of all of THAT. Usually she kept them in a big box in there! I guess it might've been a magic box...

[lessabrasive]

[ Magical security. Of course. ]

Is that box still in the Library now?

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! All it had in it was a note, though... [She rummages around somewhere off-camera, producing a piece of paper.]

"To find the missing parts, look inside your hearts." Which I guess KINDA makes sense, 'cause they're the Elements of Harmony, but I don't think the necklaces go inside you usually! They MIGHT'VE turned into rocks again...

[whoseesbynight]

"Inside... your hearts"? It really said that?

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! I've got it right here, see?

[whoseesbynight]

Um, it's purrobably not going to mean anything to you, but... have you seen this symbol befur?

[There's a moment of silence broken only by the sound of something being drawn on the wall, and then Nepeta turns the communicator so Pinkie can see the symbol she's drawn on the wall.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! That's a heart!

[whoseesbynight]

It's a little meowre than a heart, actually. It was my symbol, fur a while.

[sailorlaughter]

Really? I was gonna say it kinda looked like the Fires of Friendship. Not a whole lot though!

[whoseesbynight]

The fires of furiendship?

[sailorlaughter]

Yeah! It's this thing that happened a long time ago, and it made Equestria warm and made the windigoes go away and stuff!

[whoseesbynight]

Well... I supawse that makes sense. I've meowstly seen it in Sgrub though.

[lessabrasive]

[ Her head tilts to one side, puzzled, at the piece of paper's message, before her attention flicks to that last thing Pinkie said. ]

Rocks? What caused that to happen?

[ She's also on the move - to Ponyville! ]

[sailorlaughter]

I don't know! They were just rocks when we first found them. Princess Celestia probably knows why, she had them before that!

[lessabrasive]

Perhaps I'll ask her later. [Or wait for her to comment to someone else, at least.] For now, I'd like to take a look around that library - it's the building in the big tree in town, isn't it?

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! Normally Twilight keeps it up, but I totally know where everything is!

[lessabrasive]

Good. I should be there shortly. Don't touch anything else.

[ ...It might be a little late to say that, but the charcoal coloured unicorn at least stays polite. For now. She isn't long at arriving in Ponyville either, a steady trot forcing her pricklemane to run extra fast to keep up, and she lifted a hoof to knock on the door. ]

[sailorlaughter]

Hiiiiiiiii~!

[Pinkie opens up the door, beaming, and promptly drags Lin inside.]

See, HERE'S the box where they usually are! And THIS is the book where Discord hid them last time he stole them, but they weren't in there either. It's just an Elements of Harmony Reference Guide again.

[lessabrasive]

[ OH SPIRITS WHY ]

[ Pinkie is definitely stronger (and more flexible) than she looks, and the grey unicorn staggers to find her balance once the pink mare has finished dragging her into the center of the room. She shakes her head to dispel any dizziness, before focusing her attention on the room. And the box. ]

[ Her horn began to glow a moment, before she stomped one hoof on the floor: an attempt to untilize her unicorn magic in a manner not unlike bending. Look with the earth, let the pulse flow through. ...It isn't successful, but whether because her magic doesn't work that way or due to lack of experience, Lin couldn't say. ]

[ Circling the stand where the box lies, green eyes swept the lid, the base, the table on which it sat. Sure there had to be something-- ]

[--Wait. Her head turned to Pinkie Pie. ]

A reference guide?

[sailorlaughter]

Uh-huh! That's a book alllllllll about them!
