Let me tell you a story

[vivatsomnum]

A man was invited to a grand banquet, but was turned away for wearing rags. So home he went to don his most beautiful robe and then return. When the soup was served, he dunked his sleeves into the bowl, and said, "Eat, my robe, eat

If you want a really fine robe, you should talk to Rarity!

[She missed the point of the story entirely.]

[elementoflol]

Do you want to be friends, Dream?

[vivatsomnum]

[ Friends? He remembers having many names and few friends, before. It also seems presumptuous of her to ask, but still-- ]

I would like that.

[elementoflol]

YAY!

[Pinkie doesn't think it's presumptuous, to her friends are like breathing. So this three foot pink pony is rearing onto her hind legs and giving his legs a hug.]

You're so tall, hugs are difficult...

[vivatsomnum]

[ He crouches to meet her height. ]

I will be sure to take on a more acceptable form at your party.

[ An all-white pony with the darkest eyes. ]

[elementoflol]

Oh wow! How did you do that?

[vivatsomnum]

[ He considers her question. ]

A thought. My form is only your perception.

[elementoflol]

Ohhh...

[Totally trying to perceive him in scuba flippers and a big red clown nose now.]

[vivatsomnum]

[ He totally knows you're doing that, Pinkie Pie, but he refuses to change. ]

...I still hold a semblance of control.

[elementoflol]

[She is having so much fun!]

Are you like a unicorn?

[vivatsomnum]

[ A curious question. ]

And if I am?

[elementoflol]

That's why you can do magic, like a unicorn.

[vivatsomnum]

I see.

[ For a moment, he thinks about his hippogriff. ]

No, I am not a unicorn.

[elementoflol]

Okie dokie loki!

[vivatsomnum]

[ Loki. Doesn't that ring a loud bell? ]

Take good care, little friend.

[elementoflol]

See you sooner than soon!
