Wednesday Group Lunch

[latinumsbetter]

[Sometime mid-morning on Wednesday, the Eatery and Kitchen will suddenly be bustling with activity. First, the sounds of cookery start to trickle out into the hall, quickly followed by some delicious smells. If one peeks in, they might see Lebkuchen kneading dough while Cerejiera gives her some instructions on modern oven use. There are others chopping vegetables, and some point Ranma’s cooking something on the stove. Soon enough, food starts to come out and fill the table. Fresh bread and soup, various other dishes, as well as apfelstreudel and lebkuchen for dessert. To drink, there’s coffee (Vanity) and tea (Sayo) and some kind of fruity, delicious punch that combines peaches, grenadine and something almond-y, reminiscent of something familiar to at least one of you. At the same time, the table starts to be set up, plates and cups levatating through the air with alicorn magic while Aoi has been trusted with…the napkins. Once the table is mostly set, runners are sent out to invite (or strongly encourage, if needed) those missing to a lunch in the Eatery. Which is now for sure 100% safe from Rube Goldberg-esque accidents, courtesy of Alex.

So come in! Grab a seat, a drink, and some food. Time to get to know each other a little better.]

Indeed!

[look we cannot be confident that the same does not hold true in pony world]

Ours are very large and distant as well. Much older than my moon!

[sweetsynergy]

[A patient breath.]

And you have an "understanding" that allows you to- influence their formations, as seen from your planet?

[raisethemoon]

They...also like the idea that ponies might appreciate them, I suppose.

["Might"]

[sweetsynergy]

I think your world might be more different from mine than I would have previously guessed.

[raisethemoon]

I had thought that was rather clear from the outset.

[She kinda doesn't like being one of the most visibly odd ones out species-wise! But, she'd be more upset if she were the only one here not human or close to it. Mikhail's presence is a comfort.]

[sweetsynergy]

There are non-human sapient species where I'm from, but none of them actually, ah. Have an understanding with stars or other celestial bodies.

[Poetic license aside, which she's guess Luna is not.]

[raisethemoon]

My sister and I are the only ones that I know of who do.

[She cranes her neck back to look up at the sky. Neither moon nor sun visible...]

It began when we became alicorns, and took control of the sun and moon.

[sweetsynergy]

Well if anyone like you exists in my world, they haven't gone public yet.

[And just. Not getting into the sheer number of moons and suns there are.]

Would asking about how you became- alicorns, was it?- some kind of faux pas or sensitive topic?

[Your world gives her a headache already and she wants to science it so badly.]

[raisethemoon]

Nay, 'tis the stuff of legend now.

[ Which is a lot broader than the real story, but still, she's accustomed to everybody knowing the general gist of it. ]

At the time we were born, Discord, the lord of Chaos, ruled the land. We sought out seven ancient magical relics, the Elements of Harmony, and used their power to defeat and imprison him.

[sweetsynergy]

That certainly sounds legendary.

[As in she would have dismissed it as fantasy a few days ago.]

...so, discord as a synonym for chaos. Named after this being you imprisoned or did he choose the name for dramatic effect?

[raisethemoon]

Discord is as old as the hills. I imagine it could have happened either way.
