[Video]

Early this morning, a video might interrupt whatever you're doing. On one side of the screen, there's a beautiful lady with light brown hair. On the other, the pinkest pony ever to have walked the multi-verse.

Hey hey HEY, everybody! It's the start of a new month, and we've had a GREAT time on this planet so far, especially with all this yummy real food! Sooo Kitty and I have been planning a pizza party!

Um, right. So, you should come. I guess. [She doesn't know how to do group invites with ponies. What is life?]

We'll be in this HUGE clearing at THESE coordinates, so bring some smiles, your stomach, and maybe a side dish or snacks if you want too! We'll see you there! And Wrath: we've got chimmy cherry chongas~!

We had to use a few substitutes, but it's still pizza, so you know today's priority. Also a good time to check it out if you've never heard of it.

[And with that, the feed ends and coordinates to the clearing show up on the communicators.]


[Action]

[Local vendors have been generous enough to loan the use of their ovens and some long wooden tables for the clearing. Sure enough, there's dozens of pies, plain or topped with meat or vegetables or both. There's also jugs and jugs of fruit juices and lemonade and punch, and an equally bountiful dessert table including apple tarts, cakes, donuts, and yes, chimmy cherry chongas. And the best part is there's not a single gel-based ingredient in sight. Feel free to add something to the bounty or just come in, grab a slice, and enjoy!]

[pneumo]

You hated me.

[beardstrokes]

Jedi don't hate. And I certainly didn't, not even at that age.

[ But he takes that statement under consideration. ]

I was young. Lonely. Heartsore. I'm afraid hearing about other people's happiness didn't make for good medicine to a grieving child.

[pneumo]

....Sorry. [ Guess he done goofed on that one. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I know that you didn't know what to do. I'm not going to blame you or anyone else for that.

[pneumo]

So you're not...still mad, or anything? [ He asks the dude he's been hanging off of for the last 3 minutes. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Bemused. ]

I can assure you, Sascha. If I was mad, you'd know.

[pneumo]

Hehe♥ I'm glad--I was kinda worried.

[beardstrokes]

And I appreciate it. Truly.

[pneumo]

...? Of course I'd worry! We're friends right?

[beardstrokes]

[ He blinks. ]

Yes, but I take care of myself quite well.

[ In horseshoes. ]

[pneumo]

But don't friends worry anyway? Like, I'm really good at not dying but Kurt said I should be more careful because it'll make Kitty worry and stuff.

[beardstrokes]

That . . . is correct.

[ Surprising, but correct. ] Dying is rather extreme, though. And I certainly have no plans for getting hurt.

[pneumo]

Well yeah, but it's the only thing I'm good at [ hence why he used it as an example. ] I don't think you're gonna die~ You're way too young!

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan shrugs. ]

Not yet anyway.

[pneumo]

Shush, everyone here is gonna grow super-old so I get to spend lots of time with you before...y'know. Stuff!

[ he outlives you, etc ]

[beardstrokes]

It must be difficult to accept at times. But it also means that you can make as many friends as you want.

[pneumo]

....I never thought of it like that. [ He does have all of eternity to make them, doesn't he?? That's a staggering thought. ]

[beardstrokes]

So really, there doesn't need to be a time where you feel lonely. You can always have some company.

[pneumo]

Well I'm still gonna miss people after you get old...

[beardstrokes]

Which happens to everyone. But missing people shouldn't take away the joy of living either.

[pneumo]

What do you mean...?

[beardstrokes]

I mean that grief is natural. To miss people is normal as well. But it should never get to a point that you stop appreciating being alive.

And I think the people who once cared about you would appreciate that as well.

[pneumo]

Aww, geez.... I missed talking to you♥ [ ANOTHER HUG. He'll let go after this one. ] That sounds really good.

[beardstrokes]

It's what I believe in.

[ And it is difficult at times but no less true. ]

[pneumo]

And that's what makes you so great, shush.
