Well, as pleasant as this star system is, and as much as I don't want to say the 'B' word and incite horrible things upon us, I feel the need to fill my time a little bit. So I've decided to stretch your minds a little bit with some riddles. Because why the hell not. Answer as many or as few as you like.

RIDDLE THE FIRST:

There was once a wealthy old man with three sons. He was coming to the end of his life and instead of dividing his money up equally amongst them like a normal person would, he decided to set his sons a task. He gave them each a paltry sum of coins, and told them to buy something to fill a room with. (Before you ask, the room is the same one each time)

The first son bought some bales of hay, but he didn't have enough to fill the room with. The second bought a bunch of rock, but these, too, failed to fill the room. The third son bought two things with his coins, and together, they filled the room and he inherited his father's fortune.

What did he buy?

RIDDLE THE SECOND:

There is a dead man in the centre of a field. He carried with him an unopened package. Before he got into the field, he knew he was going to die. How?

RIDDLE THE THIRD (spoilers: this one is the easy one):

I'm at the end of time and space, at the beginning of the end, and at the end of life. What am I?

Ooh, OOH! I know the first and the third ones!

The youngest son bought a candle and a match, and he filled the room with LIGHT.

And "e" is at the end and beginning of all of those!

[E's an incredibly important letter to her, after the girls' meeting together.]

The second one's kinda trickier, though, how many guesses do I get?

[onlyanapple]

Wow look at that, the horse got two of them off the bat. Colour me surprised.

And you can have as many guesses as you like. Knock yourself out.

[spontaneouscombustion]

YAY, I got them right!

Hmmm... let's see... the box COULD'VE had something the man was really allergic too, and stuff from it could've been outside the box too, and the field was the only shortcut he had to getting medicine?

[onlyanapple]

Nope, afraid not. The package was completely sealed. And stayed that way.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Soooo no residue got rubbed on the outside while the package was getting made?

[She hears that stress, though~]

[onlyanapple]

Nope, none at all.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hmmmm the package could've DROPPED on him, but you said you knew he was gonna die before he got to the field, and in that case, he could've just caught it or waited for the package to reach the ground.

[onlyanapple]

And he definitely entered the field with the package.

[spontaneouscombustion]

He did?

GASP! I know what it was then! It was a bad parachute pack, and he entered the field from the sky!

[onlyanapple]

That's right.

Huh. I didn't even know if you guys had parachutes or not.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hee, of course we do! Gotta make sure nonpegasi can get down to the ground safely!

[onlyanapple]

How about that.

How do you even open it with your hooves? Do you use your mouth?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yup! And unicorns have magic they can move stuff with! Pegasi can just fly, though!

Poor guy, though. I'm glad it's just a riddle.

[It IS just a riddle, right? RIGHT?]

[onlyanapple]

Magic. Huh. How about that. Makes sense, I guess.

Well. It's probably happened in the past, but this guy in question is just a riddle, yeah.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Okay, phew!

By the way, what's your name? I'm Pinkie Pie, buuut I'm guessing you know that already since you knew I'm a pony!

[onlyanapple]

Yeah. There were a few of you in the castle. There was a unicorn called Twinkly Sparkles or something. I didn't really know the rest of you. Only knew her in passing.

I think she had a pet lizard. Or dragon. Whatever he was.

1/2

[spontaneouscombustion]

Twilight Sparkle and Spike?! =D You knew them?! When did you

2/2

[spontaneouscombustion]

Wait, which castle?

[Please don't say Paradisa...]

[onlyanapple]

Not WELL. I knew the unicorn in passing. She liked books, I have a friend who likes books and had a bookshop. Friend of a friend kind of deal.

Paradisa. The happiest place in the multiverse.

No. Wait. Opposite of that.

[SORRY PINKIE. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

WHAT?! That place is HORRIBLE! It's bad enough the Cheesy and you got taken there, but TWILIGHT AND SPIKE?! When was this?! Did she have wings?!

[onlyanapple]

Oh yeah there were a few of them over time. Rarely all together, mind.

Uh. No. She was a unicorn. No wings. Was she supposed to have wings? That could have been her loss.

[spontaneouscombustion]

MORE ponies?! Who?!

Okay so that was BEFORE she became a princess. ... Which means she didn't remember anything when she came pack home.

[And honestly? She's not sure if that's a good thing or not.]

[onlyanapple]

Probably not, that's how it usually works.

There was a moon one for a while? And a pink one that did something with love?? I don't know, they all kind of blended into one after a while.

[Crowley, that's racist. ]

[spontaneouscombustion]

OH MY GOSH THEY TOOK PRINCESS LUNA AND PRINCESS CADANCE TOO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[onlyanapple]

If that's what they're called then yeah.

The castle could take whoever it damn well wanted, and mostly did.
