[Ah, Vatheon. How lovely it must be for all of you who are topside right now. Surely you are enjoying the sun, the shade, the lovely ocean water and beautiful sea life~

... But then. Are those the sound of hooves?]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[And now a shriek! A panicked shriek of a damsel in distress! Could someone be hurt, is someone drowning? Oh, whatever is going on now?]

Oh, oh, no, no, no, this is awful! Simply dreadful! Oho, how could this have happened!?

[For anyone watching or even on the island right now, she will make herself known: a beautiful white mare shivering and tromping about in the sand. Oh, it's sticking to her hooves! Her beautifully polished hooves! Rarity barely realizes she's tapped the communicator beside her, nor does she pay attention to the lovely vest. (Really, Princess Zelda, the shade is lovely, but Rarity is currently preoccupied with more important things!)

Pawing at the sand and with tears in her big blue eyes, she sniffles.]

O-oh. My poor mane. A-and my coat. Ooh, it's all ruined!

(( ooc: Feel free to reply with an action response if you wish. Hopefully someone can calm her down. :c ))

I said I'm not going to smile for you. Are you not listening or are you simply incapable of processing the words as the meaningful statement they are? Besides, look at me.

[He points a finger at his face.]

I have bags under my eyes, my hair goes every fucking direction it wants, and I have a presumably short lifespan to begin with. I do not give one single fuck about wrinkles, premature or otherwise.

For the record, yes I have anger inside me, but it is not pent up. Do you really think I'm the kind of troll who doesn't let that out? Have you even paid attention to this conversation?

Your idea is probably shit, but I'm sure you'll tell me it anyway.

Of course I am listening!

[She's just not letting your crabby self get to her, that's all. Rarity giggles.]

But, come no. Don't be so hard on yourself. There are plenty of ways to go about fixing that~

But of course I'm not going to tell you just yet. That would ruin the surprise!

I'm not being hard on myself! Rarity, you have not seen the kind of hate I can unleash on myself, and you never will because the best means of demonstration aren't present where we are now. What I have said now is nothing even like that.

[He had arguments with his own past and future selves via time-crossing computer memos. Repeatedly.]

If you refuse to tell me, then I refuse to go through with any of it or even let you surprise me.

I hope I should never have to see you unleash such hatred upon yourself! You are much too precious for that. Oh, just look at those adorable horns of yours~ Why, I could even just pinch your cheeks off!

[Lalala~ Nope. Can't change her mind. Rarity's ~~wrath~~ love has been set into motion.]

Not another word! My mind has been made up! You'll love it; just trust me on that!

How do your teeth not simultaneously rot out of your speech gash with all that sugary drivel you're spewing? Do not call me adorable, do not call me precious, and keep your hooves away from my face. You don't even have opposable grasping prongs, so how could you pinch anything?

Also, fuck that. I'm not doing it, whatever it is. You can't force me to go along with something I neither agree to nor even know what it is.

Whatever do you mean? I can hold things just fine. And if I happen to be tied up, I always have my horn to assist me.

[Speaking of which, it glows a pale blue!]

And it will assist me when I prepare your surprise~

Then I don't know how, because the week I was stuck as a pegasus pony I kept having to stomp at shit awkwardly until it did what I wanted.

[Yeah. That happened. He does perk up when he spots the glow.]

Okay, explain that to me. What's the horn for and why is it shining like one of those bizarre nocturnal lumination devices you diurnals use?

[Nightlight. He means nightlight.]
