- >You are the GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie!
- >And anything the plebeians in this town can do, you can do better!
- >And... there we go. The local braggart leaps in.
- "Hmph? Rope tricks? Watch, and be amazed!"
- >You light your Large and Impressive horn, channelling magic through it and casting a simple spell.
- >Adalbert's Amazing Animation has always been one of your favourites, both for its ease and its versatility.
- >Within seconds, you've wrapped up the loud-mouther Earther, and beam at your audience, who let out little cheers of excitement.
- >You light your Intimidating and Beautiful horn again, preparing to draw out more gadgets and tricks from behind the curtain, when you're rudely interrupted.
- >"Alright, lemme at her, lemme at her!"
- "Oh ho ho ho, and who's this then?"
- >The blue pegasus glowers at you, narrowing her eyes.
- >You almost flinch from the unbridled fury shining through.
- >"Let's see you match this!"
- >She dashes off in a flash of rainbow, gathering raindrops from the clouds spread through the sky, and starts funnelling them into a rainado!
- >Or... something.
- >Your skills lie in magic, not in words!
- >Lighting your Awe-Inspiring and Gorgeous horn again, you fire up Weird Wendolin's Weather Wyrding.
- >The colourful spinny thing struggles in your grasp, but you firmly re-direct it onto the boastful pegasus.
- >You leave her spinning for a few seconds, giving her the chance to free herself.
- >Unfortunately, she seems incompetent.
- >With a sigh, you release her, depositing the now dizzy mare on the floor.
- >The crowd cheers again. Obviously, she's not that popular.
- >Once more, you light your Towering and Envy horn, grabbing onto your props and preparing to pull them out.
- >The harsh stomping of somep0ny stumbling onto your stage distract, and you turn back.
- "And what, may Trixie ask, are you?"
- >The creature is tall, clad in rather snazzy black clothes.
- >He looks bald, except for a rather magnificent moustache across his top lip, and a dark mat on the top of his oddly shaped head.
- >"This is the Magnificent and Astounding Anon! A travelling WIZARD from across WORLDS!"
- >Your beautiful and delicate jaw drops.
- >Unicorns were one thing, but ALIEN wizards?
- >"Damnit Twilight, I just wanted to watch the bloody show!"
- >Whatever he is, he turns and stares at the purple unicorn who pushed him out onto the stage.
- >"She's being rude, Anon!"
- >He turns to you, and gives an exaggerated wink.
- >"I'm sorry about them. They don't appreciate TRUE stage wizardry!"
- >You smile.
- >Finally!
- >Something in this town that appreciates your act.
- "The truly great do not need to apologise for being loved by the low."
- >He laughs, before straightening, and reaching deep into his jacket.
- >Rummaging for a few seconds, he then pulls a pencil from his pocket.
- >"Behold! A pencil!"
- >He takes it between two fingers, so similar to those of the minotaurs, of each hand, and shows it to the crowd.
- >The audience lets out an appreciative 'oooooo'.
- >Simple country folk.
- >"And now, watch as I demonstrate my mastery over the powers of magic!"
- >He lets go with one of his hands, and shifts the other fingers more towards the middle.
- >Then, he starts to shake the pencil.
- >You go to laugh, but it catches in your throat.
- >THE PENCIL IS BENDING!
- >HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND JUST IS HE BENDING A PENCIL?
- >PENCILS ARE MADE OF WOOD!
- "Impressive"
- >You choke out.
- "But is that all you can do? Surely an otherworldly wizard such as yourself has otherworldly magic tricks?"
- >He twiddles his rather glorious moustache for a minute, before popping his finger up.
- >Likely, he's had an idea.
- >"Tell me, miss, is my thumb real?"
- >He presents his hand to a mare in the front row, and she pokes and prods at the shorter digit.
- >"Seems fine to me, Mister Anon!"
- >Giving her a cheeky wink, he turns back to you, and presents his 'thumb' to you.
- >"Behold! A thumb!"
- "Indeed. Are you going to bend that too?"
- >He wiggles his eyebrows at you, before wiggling his thumb.
- >The crowd bursts into laughter.
- >"No, what I shall do with this thumb is a trick the likes of which you ponies will never have seen before!"
- >He grasps his thumb in his other hand, and begins heaving at it.
- "Wha... What on Equus are you doing?"
- >With a flourish, he PULLS HIS THUMB OFF HIS HAND!
- >HOW IS HE DOING THIS MAGIC?
- >NOTHING EXCEPT DISCORD HAS SHOWN SUCH POWERFUL MAGIC!
- >The crowd goes silent for a moment.
- >Then starts screaming, bolting off in every direction.
- >'AHHH IT'S DISCORD!' seems to be a common yell.
- >Anon slumps.
- >"Fuck. I thought they were brighter than that."
- >He turns, and you're inches from his face.
- "tell-me-how-you-did-it-ill-give-anything-to-learn-alien-magic-please-oh-please-oh-please"
- >Words tumble from your mouth in a violent torrent.
- >"Trixie, it's magic. I can't just let you know how. A magician never reveals his secrets."
- >Another wink, and he saunters off.
- >DAMN HIM!
- >Well...
- >If he won't tell you...
- >Maybe you'll just have to seduce it out of him!
- "Trixie, you're a genius!"
