Who: Ahsoka + You
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Not really (though if you want to find her, she'll be in her room on the Starstruck)
When: idk today

Hey! Soooooo since we're all stuck here, and going outside on this planet kinda sucks bigtime right now, I've been making it a project of mine to try and learn as much as I can about the different cultures of the other worlds people here are from! Particularly Earth, because there's so many of you! Someone told me the collective noun is "Earthlings"? Anyway.

I've been trawling through the media library, but to be honest, I'm not very good at sitting and reading for long periods of time. So I figured, why not just ask you guys instead?

Tell me one (or more!) thing about your home world that you think is culturally significant. It can be traditional, religious, social, or pop culture is fair game too! After all, it's no fun when people are making pop culture references that fly over my head.

The only rule is that you can't say the same thing as someone else. You ready? Go!

[Allen has to think about this. What's something that covers lots of Earth, but isn't really found as well on other worlds?]

Pizza!

[resnipstance]

Bzzzt! I heard about that one already.

But pizza DOES sound pretty good. Especially the meat-lovers one. Sign me up!

[save_the_souls]

Really? Aww. I'll have to think of something else.

It's really good! It's too bad not more worlds have it.

[resnipstance]

I'll survive. And hey, I bet you guys don't have roast nuna!

[save_the_souls]

No, I don't think so! What's that?

And what about Rock n' Roll?

My world has two moons? I'm told that's unusual.

[resnipstance]

It's a kind of meat! Two legs, green, hard shell on the outside? Hold on!

[Peggy's been making Ahsoka keep paper files, so for once in her life she actually has paper on her person. She glances away from the camera for a few minutes, concentrating, her tongue sticking out one side as she draws.]

There! It looks like this. [She was aiming for this but what she ends up with holding up to the screen to show Allen is actually ... this.] Look familiar?

I don't know. What's rock 'n' roll?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Do pastel friendship ponies count as a pop culture reference?]

Hi, there! Let's see... Oh! It's not earth, but back on my world everypony works together to make the weather and change the seasons, and the Princesses move the sun and the moon!

What's YOUR world like?

[resnipstance]

Wait, really? That's... not that unusual.

Tatooine has two suns!

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka has seen so many different types of alien, a talking pastel pony doesn't even register on her weird scale. People affecting the weather and planets is MUCH weirder.]

Wait... what? ... How is that possible?

[experiencepoints]

... Okay, yeah, that is unusual. How does that even work?

[resnipstance]

... To be fair, the whole planet is mostly desert.

[experiencepoints]

I guess that makes sense, but... Well, I guess anything's possible.

[resnipstance]

The universe is pretty big, yeah.

And just when you think you know everything about it-- poof! It proves you wrong.

[experiencepoints]

I am definitely not arrogant enough to believe I know everything, but it still seems like it enjoys proving what little I do know wrong.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Easy! The pegasi have wings and they can walk on clouds and move them around and they have this HUGE weather factory in Cloudsdale! Unicorns can move stuff too with their magic, that's how the Princesses move the sun and moon, and Earth ponies like me are really good with farming and animals and stuff!

[resnipstance]

I'll say. If the universe has a sense of humour, it's definitely a sadistic one.

[resnipstance]

I. ... Okay. Isn't it-- dangerous at all, to be playing around with the weather and the planets like that?

[experiencepoints]

Pretty sure where we are proves that.

[resnipstance]

Yeah, but is that really the universe, or is that the Atroma?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Nnno, why?

[It's okay, Ahsoka, they've been doing this pretty much literally forever, they know what they're doing.]

[experiencepoints]

I meant more specifically this planet. Inhabited, but ridiculously poisonous.

The Atroma are just idiots.

[resnipstance]

... Oh. Yeah.

Sometimes that can happen. I've heard about it before, but... it's never good. It'll take them centuries to make this place habitable again.

[resnipstance]

Well... things like the weather and the sun and the moon usually move on their own. Do they... not, in your world?

[experiencepoints]

You'd think relocation would be possible, with the technology around here.
