Technology is Fun - 001 [Audio]

[juniorganymedian]

Good day, my name is Jeeves. I am given to understand this device has some extraordinary broadcasting ability akin to a radio or television, but with multi-way communicative properties. I have been here only a short time and require some assistance, for which I will gladly work in trade.

I have created one of the creatures known as a spirit. I have been led to believe that the animal serves some useful function as protection in this realm against nightmares of a similar build, but alternate coloration. The Komory Bat now in my possession defies all training and disciplinary methods with which I am familiar for service animals. I would deeply appreciate some instruction on their care and control. It has taken to fluttering around me in a highly distracting way. Thank you.

I have also been informed this device has some archival function. If it may be accessed readily, I should like to know how.

Neigh, from the previous Council. The three pony tribes had only recently united then; 'twould never have done to have a single ruler from one, and alicorns were but a myth in that day.

Discord is...I suppose 'tis accurate to call him a spirit of chaos. Ruling a kingdom was not truly what he desired; he simply wanted the land and ponies to serve as his playthings. Even now he is not gone, simply frozen in stone.

[Except now Celestia says she's let him out. Luna just really likes to pretend that maybe when she gets back she can stop that from happening.]

You routed the gentleman. [Or... gentlestallion? Jeeves isn't certain of the proper verbiage in this case.] It sounds a most admirable endeavor to free your realm from such a creature's grasp, madam. If he was truly a spirit of chaos, though, how did you manage such a feat? Are alicorns akin to spirits of harmony, in turn?

My sister and I wielded the Elements of Harmony between us. 'Tis they that exemplify harmony. Anyone with the correct virtues can wield them, not simply alicorns; two of their current bearers are here with us.

We have been seeking them of late, as it happens. Or their dream counterparts... [She waves a hoof. The fact that she, dream-princess, cannot explain any of this properly continues to irk her.]

[visual]

[juniorganymedian]

I see. What virtues exemplify harmony in your world, madam? And who might the current bearers be? I should like to assist in their return if they are such powerful artifacts.

[Jeeves has some thoughts about harmony. Diplomacy, wisdom, temperance, diligence, and patience come immediately to mind. All are most admirable traits likely to enhance unity and overall harmony when properly applied.]

Miss Rarity bears Generosity, and Pinkie Pie bears Laughter. If you have not met her yet, I imagine you shall before too long. Simply eat what she gives you and smile. The other elements are Magic, Loyalty, Honesty, and Kindness.

[juniorganymedian]

[All of those make some measure of sense given the magic on her world. All except one.]

Laughter, madam? I was not aware the was a quality someone might possess. Might it more readily understood as good humor?

That is its name, though you may understand its qualities that way if you wish. You will understand when you meet her.

I look forward to the opportunity, then, madam. [He doesn't particularly given what he knows of women given over to the frivolities of life in his own experience.]

Thank you for your ready assistance. [He goes to place his hand over his heart for a fuller bow to royalty, but his Komory Bat chooses that moment to latch onto his arm. Jeeves closes his eyes and breathes deeply for a moment before moving the arm to a holding position, akin to what a falconer might do when carrying his birds about. The animal squeaks happily and scuttles up to his shoulder to rest. Jeeves tolerates it while the visual is on, dropping his arm back to his side.]

I do not wish to take advantage of your generosity with your time, madam. I am eager for the opportunity to learn more and be of assistance. Perhaps I shall see you in Ponyville soon.

Indeed. I look forward to it. Fare thee well.

[He seems a decent sort of human, if rather different from most of the ones she knows. Perhaps it's simply because he's not military. In a place like this, that's even more of a reason for Luna to keep an eye out for him.]
