- > Twilight stops and turns to look at you.
- > "What for?"
- "For trying."
- > She just looks at you confused.
- > Oh well you said it and that's what counts.
- "We seem to have stopped again."
- > She turns around and once more continues walking.
- > You can't help but feel you have just forgotten to do something.
- > The walk from then on is uneventful and uninterrupted.
- > Much to your surprise you stop in front of a massive tree.
- > You could write a list of the strangest buildings you've seen in your time, and this one would probably be in the top five.
- > Then again so would Sugercube Corner.
- > You wonder how many more buildings you're going to need to put on that list.
- "The library is in a tree."
- > Again with the monotone questions.
- > You really should find out how to make those sound like... Oh you know... Questions.
- > Twilight seems to pick up on it anyway.
- > "Yep this is home sweet home. Let's head in and I'll give you a quick tour."
- > As she says that her horn begins to glow and the door swings open revealing a dimly lit library.
- > Huh, Telekineses.
- > So p0nies have some magic as well.
- > Well suddenly the prospect of being overwhelmed in an assault has just become a lot more plausible.
- > Take another note to self : For personal safety, attempt to be diplomatic.
- > Twilight goes forward leaving you standing outside, lost in thought.
- > "Coming in?"
- > One last look at the stars, and in you walk.
- > The door closes behind you leaving you and Twilight in darkness, the light of the moon shining through the windows doing little to illuminate the room.
- > You aren't left in the dark for long, as a few seconds later a large amount of candles placed throughout the room seemingly light on there own.
- > "Well here we go. There really isn't much to show you.
- > The kitchen is to the left over there."
- > She quickly gestures with her hoof.
- > "My bedroom and the bathroom are both upstairs, and the basement door is just behind me..."
- > She spins around, looking to see if shes missed anything.
- > "There... Really isn't much here except the books..."
- > She pauses for a moment.
- > "Oh and I should probably tell you, theres usually an owl around at night named Owlicious, he helps me keep things organized while Spike's asleep."
- > You have no idea who Spike is but don't bother asking, you figure hes just another p0ny who helps out around the library.
- > You approach one of the candles and kneel to inspect it, looking for an arcane sigil to see if what makes them self lighting.
- > Twilight sees you leaning rather close to the candle and speaks up, concern showing in her voice.
- > "You should probably be careful around that, it is fire you know."
- > You stand up and step back.
- "I am curious, what caused these too light when we entered?"
- > She raises a hoof to point at her horn.
- > "Magic"
- > Ah, okay that's another important thing to remember.
- > Twilight can probably light you on fire at will.
- > It's probably a good thing that Pinkie Pie is the only one who hasn't shown an objection to violence.
- "Is magic common amongst p0nies?"
- > There's that smile from earlier.
- > Clearly she is enthusiastic about magic.
- > "Oh yes! Well... Sort of... All unicorns can use magic, but pagasi and earth p0nies just have a sort of... Inherent magic.
- > She raises a hoof and you hear the snapping of fingers.
- > Okay seriously, how is she doing that?
- > In a comical puff of smoke, similar to how Pinkie Pie disappeared earlier, she dashes over to one of the many book shelves lining the walls.
- > After a moment several books seem to be wrapped in a barely visible aura and are yanked from the shelves.
- > She takes a moment to look at each book, and tosses aside all but one, before flipping open one and carrying it over to you.
- > "The Beginners Guide To P0ny Magic has a pretty good description in it."
- > She turns the book to you and when you grasp it the aura of light around it disappears.
- > As you look down at the pages it becomes instantly clear that you won't be able to read it.
- > Though the p0nies speak the same language as you, there written language is vastly different.
- "It seems that we may have a language barrier to overcome in time."
- > She looks confused.
- > You turn the book ninety degrees to the right in the vain attempt to better grasp what you're reading.
- > It does not help.
- > Twilight can see that this is an act of somewhat desperate confusion and intervenes.
- > "You... can't read?"
- > You lower the book again.
- "I am usually able, however it seems that our races have dissimilar written languages."
- > She takes the book back with her magic.
- > "Here, I'll just give you the basics then..."
