souls have been lost and the panic grows

[That... that was hell, actually. Wendy didn't like that at all. After the trial she... has to head to the kitchen and hopefully not find clay shit everywhere. She needs to do something to keep things under control. To keep things going.

She's not a great cook but she knows the basics. Meat. Bread. Cheese. Something warm for the belly to drink. She's nervous when she works but she's relentless. There's no asking for help from her as she makes a spread for everyone. Then... she's moving all of it not to the eatery but the bonfire.

Making makeshift tables around it and placing trays of food and drink. Even setting up a chair for Alex a good distance away from the fire but close enough that he can be part of things if he wants to.

Wendy, with her careful writing, writes up some notes and hands them out to everyone if she can find them or if not under their door.

Food at the bonfire and the area around it. Attendance not mandatory but it's probably better for all of us if we stick together. Bring more food and drink if you want.

...She can't control other people but she can try to suggest.]

We are.

[ What? It's true! ]

We were the first alicorns, and the only for many ages. [ Luna doesn't really know where this new pink one came from any better than anyone else. ]

[hey if twilight can become an alicorn then maybe cadance was a regular unicorn before evolving like a pokemon?

Ranma gives a firm nod with a smirk quirked. He can respect when someone owns their strength.]

Why's that?

[far as he can tell, alicorns are just unicorns with wings. or pegasuses with horns?]

We were transformed, as a result of using the Elements of Harmony, and no one else did so for many years. The modern bearers have not changed, though. It may be because there are six of them, rather than only two.

[ Honestly, who the fuck knows what exactly triggered that whole thing. Not me lmao. Anyway. ]

There are six elements, so it is more balanced that way. We simply did not have anyone else back then. Another fault in our usage, perhaps...well, in any case, the Elements were ancient even before our time - they are still ill-understood.

[op hasn't seen mlp g4 since like the fourth season, i'll take anything you say about mlp lore as gospel

Ranma nods sagely, processing all this.]

A lot of ancient artifacts are like that from my experiences with 'em. Although, your Elemental Harmonies thingies make those seem like cheap knick-knacks you'd buy in a gift shop.

[Unless there's some crazy bullshit thing that does compare to CHANGING THE DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE AT YOUR WHIM he hasn't ran into yet which. isn't farfetched...]

[raisethemoon]

Mmm. Perhaps. They're quite difficult to work with - even the bearers cannot exactly control what happens. When we used them, we ended up turning Discord to stone.

[ It wouldn't have been her choice, if only because he could come back from that. Though, after everything that has happened since...Luna can't feel entirely the same about it now. ]

[catsgothistongue]

And Discord is...?

[*tfs voice* only seen g1 who dat]

[raisethemoon]

The spirit of Chaos. His powers over reality are near-absolute. He laughed when we came to fight him - that is what his statue looked like for more than a thousand years.
