Seems like this is the trend today, so I wanted to make a post.

For those who haven't met me yet, I'm Sunset Shimmer and my thing is sort of a mix of Music, Friendship-themed stories, Magic stories and Unicorns.

I know, pretty girlish, but there's reasons behind everything. And yes, just to answer, people in my world are very colorful, so if you run into people with literal colors of the rainbow as their skin and hair, then you've probably run into one of my friends from home.

I can't thank Trunks more than what I've said to him, but thanks again for helping me out in the previous World we were in. That was not my cup of tea let me tell you.

[Sunset pauses to think of something and then adds,] If we ever get to my World or a place called Equestria, or if a book is located with those names regarding ponies with cutie marks on their flanks, please let me know immediately. I've yet to find anything, but I figure its buried in the Children's section somewhere.

Um... that's it! Thanks for listening.

Nice to meet you, Sunset! I'm Nita.

Magic and friendship, huh? Sounds like you're my kind of person.

[Little does she know how right she is.]

Though... from the sound of it, that might be in the Fiction section, not just Children's, so finding your world might take a while.

[It was the 'ponies' part that did it for her.]

Hi Nita, nice to meet you!

Yeah I'm sure it'll be a big search, and nothing is ever easy anyhow. At least from experience.

Magic and friendship yeah, where I come from, those two are one thing.

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods.]

It never is. Well, the worthwhile things aren't, anyway.

[Even if it hurts a lot getting to them.]

That's... actually pretty neat. It's kind of like that where I'm from, but not nearly as literally.

[That is, Nita's always associated wizardry with friendship.]

Re: [Video]

[shimmer_on]

Yeah. Long road to Friendship and all of that.

[And it certainly did.]

Yeah, my magic comes from a land called Equestria, and it's literally the Magic of Friendship which I use. It manifests in different abilities.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita raises her eyebrows.]

Not impossible, but now I wanna see it. We might have to go outside the Library for the flashier stuff, though.

[Both because of the books, and because the Head Librarian prroobably wouldn't approve.]

Is your magic more offensive, defensive, or just flexible?

....it's really alright. I'm sorry you got dragged into that book with me. Your hand is healing alright? No nightmares? My...memories aren't the most pleasant, and it can't have been fun to be a channel.

I can try and answer questions, if you have any, about what you saw.

Re: [Text]

[shimmer_on]

I'm okay, and yes my hand is healing pretty well. It's not even sore anymore.

I wouldn't want to push, but I got a lot from you when we finished that incident.

Re: [Text]

[light_of_willpower]

I was afraid of that. I don't actually want to be pushed either, but I'd rather clear up anything you were wondering about myself, rather than have misinformation or assumptions that might be wrong.

Re: [Text]

[shimmer_on]

You've had a hard life, just as hard as I have. The only difference is that you didn't turn into a raging she-demon.

I mean that in the nicest way I mean.

Re: [Text]--->[Video]

[light_of_willpower]

[The feeds going to change, as Trunks is obviously fiddling with his bookmark. But it's not hard to figure out, really. He's sitting on a bed in one of the dorm rooms, legs crossed and without the jacket and sword. Placing the bookmark up on the desk by him, so he doesn't have to hold it.]

Yeah, you mentioned something about that before.

[There's a shrug, and his manner remains friendly still.]

No judgement there, and I think you're wrong. You felt my rage.

[bigbadrose]

Where were you stuck with Trunks?

Equestria, ponies, got it! [Nods.] Let me know if you need someone to help explore it, yeah? Sounds like fun.

Re: [Video]

[shimmer_on]

A haunted town, I think it was based on old Japanese legends of occult rituals.

It was not fun.

Yeah, if anything like that is found, I'd love to show people around.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

[Sunset only gets out the "Japanese legends of occult" before Rose's eyes light up and she squeaks.]

That sounds amazing?!

Ah... really? Not fun? You sure?? [NO IT SOUNDS SO COOL THOUGH!]

[She frowns.] Are you and Trunks okay?

Re: [Video]

[shimmer_on]

Well, there was a lot of haunted spirits who could kill you, cultists who wanted to carry you off to throw you into a hole, a lot of that "Do X and you live, do Y and you die" sort of thing.

I'm okay. [She held up her bandaged hand.] I'm a little sore but thanks to some healing stuff we found while there, the injuries I had gotten are healing fast.

Re: [Video]

[bigbadrose]

That sounds really fun, sorry.

[ADVENTUUUUUURE!]

Though I'm sorry you got hurt, and glad you're healing okay!

[Ammy is figuring out this whole moving-scroll-picture thing. Slowly; as the view starts with a white paw and close up of a black nose. Then Ammy backs up, coming more fully into view. Beside her is an easel holding a pad of paper. Sitting, as graceful as any Lady despite her form, her tail twitches behind her and writing appears on the paper. Vertically, from left to right. サンセット・シマーにお会いできてうれしいです。 あなたはとても素敵な名前を持っています。 私は天照です。 A translation appears on the video-screen on Sunset's end.]

It is nice to meet you Sunset Shimmer. You have a very nice name. I am Amaterasu.

[shimmer_on]

It's nice to meet you Amaterasu. You're quite the unique looking um, dog I think? Spirit? Am I getting warm?

[I mean, doggie! Sunset was fond of dogs, but Ammy was very intelligent apparently and she wanted to chat more.]

[dog_of_the_sun]

[There is some canine-whuffling laughter, Ammy's head tilting in amusement. 私は女神です。 この面で私はこの形式に限定されています。 私はそれを気にしませんが、私は人間のようにもっと簡単なことがいくつかあります。 ほとんどの人間は、私を大型の白い犬や小さなオオカミと見るだけで、時に便利です。]

I am a goddess. On this plane I am limited to this form. I do not mind it, although some things might be easier were I more like a human. Most beings simply see me as a large white dog or small wolf, which can be convenient at times.

[shimmer_on]

Ah, I know someone like you, though I'm not too sure if she's actually a goddess or not. My old teacher was never really clear about that.

[dog_of_the_sun]

[Ammy looks at her paper, and her tail twitches. A straight 'cut' across the top of the sheet, the written upon side fluttering away to reveal a new clean piece. Then more writing. 明確さの欠如の理由があるかもしれませんが、それ以上の知識がなければ私は推測しかできません。 皆さんにお会いできてうれしいです。 あなたの以前の「世界」は楽しい経験ではなかったことは残念です。 ]

There may be a reason for the lack of clarity, though without more knowledge I could only speculate. It is nice to meet you all the same. I am sorry your previous 'world' was not a pleasant experience.

It's always so nice to see that some universes are so colorful. That and so positive from what you've already said.

[ Says one of the few in the Library that fit the description, but wasn't from the same world. At least it's a familiar color for the girl. ]

It's also nice to meet you, Sunset. My name's Trance Gemini.

Re: Video

[shimmer_on]

[It is a definitely familiar color to Sunset as she grins.]

Yeah, my home universe is pretty colorful. I have a friend who is blue and rainbow haired, a white and purple friend, a purple and pink friend, there's a lot of colors in the rainbow.

Trance Gemini, wow, yeah, your name would fit right in with our world.

Video

[goodguess]

We get people of a lot of colors too, but that's part of having so many different planets and species. Though none in my world have the shape of ponies with unusual markings.

[ She certainly shares a similar grin to the one Sunset has. ]

I guess I can imagine, with your name and saying that. So, is there magic to go along with those magic stories?

Re: Video

[shimmer_on]

You could say we're a different planet altogether, but our world is pretty unique compared to other worlds.

[Okay, Sunset likes Trance. She's definitely going to be fun.]

Yeah, there's quite a bit. Not to sound cheesy but it's the magic of friendship.

Video

[goodguess]

[ She certainly won't let things get dull, that's for sure. ]

Ooh, I think I get that. It might be cheesy, but that doesn't mean it's unbelievable or any less possible. Bonds between people can be very powerful.

[ Metaphorically and literally. ]
