This is scientifically impossible, but after what I've seen, this is improbable at best.

Our world's been connected to your Duck officially and now we're getting visitors from all sorts of people. Can you make sure to tell us when we're going to get spill-overs?

Also, hi, Twilight Sparkle here from Canterlot City. The Human one. I guess we're connected now! Everyone on my end should be connected. I'd speak for some, but Sunset and the others are all off playing some kind of game with keys and Disney and stuff.

In any case, hi! AMA. What do you want to know about our world?

Comments

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Yes! I would like to know just how AMAZING is it to go to school with THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE?

[elementofnerdity]

Admittedly? A lot of fun. There's a lot of shenanigans happening all the time, and she puts on a lot of fun magic shows for the school every couple of days.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

HA! I bet she does! Imagine Trixie's delight to find that not only IS she really Great and Powerful, but a proper hero in other worlds. As expected of course!

[Well...hero might be a strong word for it. But the Unicorn is soaking up the praise like a sponge.]

[elementofnerdity]

She's really gotten to be good friends with us, Sunset and me in particular, but also Wallflower as well.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie only vaguely knows those names. But perhaps if she locates them in her world she'll befriend them as well.

What's more important is, who among you is her biggest fan?

[elementofnerdity]

Hmm.... between the three of us? I think Sunset has the strongest connection. But Wallflower is closest next and then me.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Clearly at some point you'll have to compete to prove who is the greatest fan.

For now, the original and best Trixie will allow you to bask in her presence even if it is only over this communication system. Bask away! Enjoy!

[elementofnerdity]

I'm basking!

[Twilight giggled at that.]

So what kind of amazing magic tricks do you do for the public?

[elementofpeanutbutter]

All manner of prestidigitation and fantastical illusion! Why recently Trixie found herself facing off against none other then an alternate universe version of Princess Twilight Sparkle in an evil casino! The might of Trixie's magic proved so distracting that gambling and even the security of the casino ground to a halt so they could witness a magicians duel the likes of which had never been seen before!

[As she tells this story she uses sparks from her horn to make colorful images of a stage and a crowd while using puppets of herself and a Twilight Sparkle Puppet to simulate the duel.]

[elementofnerdity]

[Well she certainly has Trixie's flair for the dramatic!]

That's amazing, I wish I could have seen it.

Were there any recordings of it?

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Well...

...in a manner of speaking.

It seems the only recorded proof of it is in comic book form. Perhaps some day it will be recorded properly so one can appreciate Trixie's true power.

[elementofnerdity]

Well I don't mind a comic book. If it's a good exciting read then I can get behind it.

[soft_focus]

[Reira has apparently decided she just. Lives elsewhere now. Specifically, her location will be noted as Destiny Islands (Pre-KH1). Amazing.

Got new clothes though, if her video feed is any sign.]

...What do you mean 'the human one'? [STRAIGHT TO THE CHASE, NO INTRODUCTIONS, B'OKAY,]

[elementofnerdity]

[She did note that, and updated her location.]

There's another me in another world, a pony Princess actually.

[soft_focus]

[...............A pause-]

...ponies are...like horses, right?

[SHE KNOWS WHAT THE HORSES ARE AT LEAST] ...So she's the princess of ponies?

[not quite]

[elementofnerdity]

a pony is a horse of a small breed, especially one whose height at the withers is below 14 hands 2 inches!

[Way to go Twilight, be scientific.]

She's one of the four pony princesses who are governing Equestria, it's one of the worlds out there on the Duck. She's the Princess of Friendship.

[soft_focus]

[Reira is visibly looking at her hands. Visibly stacking one hand...over the other...]

...How can you be a princess of 'friendship'? [She asks, pausing in her hands measuring. This does not seem very tall Twilight.]

[elementofnerdity]

She learned how to become friends from her friends, and passes on these lessons to others. Her bonds with her friends made her who she is today.

I guess you could say, she's the ultimate expression of friendship back in her world, so to speak. That's something I'm not, but I suppose we're two different people.

[Twilight grins a little.]

They're small ponies.

[soft_focus]

[She doesn't get it. But she is...still nodding.

AND HEY WAIT-] ...Smaller than even my 14 hands..!? [HOW SMALL ARE THESE PONIES TWILIGHT]

[elementofnerdity]

No, no, a hand is a unit of measurement. Sort of like, 4 inches wide.

[soft_focus]

...How big is an inch.

[Japan uses metric, sadly,]

[elementofnerdity]

It's um... like 3 1/2 centimeters.

[soft_focus]

[Reira takes this moment to measure a distance between her two hands. She seems to be doing some internal math and.]

...That's really small... [She half whispers, sounding almost awed.]

[elementofnerdity]

Well, it's not that small. Some horses are much bigger but we are talking about small ponies after all.

[soft_focus]

It's less than fourteen duel monster cards.

[Dats Small.]

[elementofnerdity]

Not quite. A hand is four inches and a normal horse is about I want to say 19 hands? Or so? A pony is about 14 hands.

That's how they measure out horses in Equestria I believe.

[soft_focus]

But you said a hand was 3 and a half centimeters..!

[No she said one inch was that many.]

[elementofnerdity]

No, no, a inch is about 3 1/2 centimeters and a hand is about four inches wide. Get it?

[Ah metric to whatever Reira used.]

[soft_focus]

[Alright, more mental math...and a bit more space between her hands to stare at for that matter, but-]

Oh...

...That makes sense I guess.

[elementofnerdity]

Yeah, it's a old measurement, so it's not something that usually is used.

[soft_focus]

If it's so old, why do they still use it thought?

[elementofnerdity]

Because it's still a standard for measuring horses.

[soft_focus]

Yeah, but why!

Why didn't they measure horses like they measure other things after a while?

[elementofnerdity]

Honestly, I'll have to look that up. It's probably got something to do with Equestrian breeding and standardized measurements across the old measurement system.

[soft_focus]

Umnhh...okay.

[She'll just take that at face value then.] Umn, thank you for explaining things!

[She's learning the thank yous are Important.]
