[ The video feed clicks on. Finally. Twilight had been working on that for a while, trying to get it working with her hands rather than magic.
Still hard things to work with, hands.
She sets down the communicator on a surface of some sort and steps back. She looks incredibly happy.
Also, Pinkie Pie is bouncing around in the background. That crazy pink pony! ]
Hello, City! My name is Twilight Sparkle. [ Er, she's introduced herself already. Would they remember? No, some people wouldn't have seen it. A lot of people were connected through this network, and a lot of people made entries onto it... yes, introducing herself is the right thing to do. ]
With everything that happened on Nightmare Night, nopony actually got to celebrate. So my friend, Pinkie Pie, and I decided that we should celebrate now to make up for it! [ Smiling so much right now. ]
And so we're going to marathon a selection of appropriately-themed movies! [ She pauses for a moment, and then explains. ] That's terminology for watching them back-to-back, as opposed to the kind of marathon you would run. [ It's a new term for her, okay? She just assumes it needs to be explained. ] And everypony is invited, of course.
[ She giggles, looking excited. ] But I've never seen a "movie" before! It's going to be so exciting! And it will help me better understand how humans celebrate Nightmare Night! [ She claps her hands together, looking so excited YOU HAVE NO IDEA. ] It'll be firsthand experience of human culture! Think of all the things to be learned! [ So. Excited. ]
Oh! Oh! And I make a checklist, to make sure everypony officially has fun! [ She reaches down, off screen, and pulls up a roll of parchment. The roll, now unfurled, is too long to fit entirely on the screen. As she does this, it also becomes obvious that Twilight's hands are bruised and blistered from something, and multiple bandaids are applied to her fingers. ] I even wrote it all out by hoof, just like humans do! Er, hand. Sorry.
[ The contents of the parchment aren't visible to the camera, but rather to Twilight. She pauses, and her face goes from excited... to perplexed. ] Wait...
I can't read any of this.
[ She tosses the checklist onto the same surface the communicator is set on, making its contents visible. And yes, it's all pretty much chicken-scratch. WHY IS WRITING WITH HANDS SO HARD? ]
No.. no matter. I'll simply have to remake the checklist!
Now... where did I put the spare parchment?
[ She doesn't even turn off the video feed. She just goes to start looking for more parchment.
The search will not end well. She used it all on the first checklist. ]
