[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.]

[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!]

....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.

[beardstrokes]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I'm really not that great.

[pneumo]

You are too! Like... I wouldn't think of stuff like that on my own, but you do it anyway. That's amazing.

[beardstrokes]

I've had a lot of experience. That's all.

[pneumo]

You must've had tons... I'm nowhere close to you yet.

[beardstrokes]

That's not a bad thing.

[ He pauses. ] I've done a lot, even for someone my age.

[pneumo]

....How old are you? [ Besides old enough to be beardly. ]

[beardstrokes]

Thirty-eight.

[pneumo]

--But you look so young!

[beardstrokes]

Jedi age a lot slower than most. Being touched by the Force helps us live longer. My master was eighty when I was his Padawan and he didn't look all that different from me right now.

[pneumo]

Wait, so...you're long live super-long?? Longer than a human? [ AND THEY CAN BE FRIENDS THAT WHOLE TIME? ]

[beardstrokes]

Not necessarily.

[ Obi-Wan is quite sure he doesn't make it further than sixty or seventy. ]

Jedi die just as easily as anyone else.

[pneumo]

[ No shush ): ]

Well like aside from that....

[beardstrokes]

[ Kind of set in stone, dude. ]

My first master is over eight hundred years old.

[pneumo]

Eight hundred?! [ OLD. So old. ]

[beardstrokes]

He has been around for a very long time. That's partially why he's the Grand Master of our Order.

[pneumo]

So that's like.....a super-Jedi?
