From: Inti
Date: June 28

Greetings to everypony. My name is Princess Celestia, and here I have assumed the role of the god Inti.

This is not too far away from my role in Equestria, and yet this world's sun seems to require no intervention -- magical, divine, or otherwise -- to keep it moving neatly through the sky. I am also told that the moon keeps its own schedule irrespective of the night. All things considered, I have to conclude that things work very differently here.

Nonetheless, I am particularly interested in meeting other gods whose domain includes the sun. I would like to invite you all to my temple, so we can greet each other and learn more about our gods and our purposes of here. (Of course, anypony else is welcome to come as well. I have so much to learn here!)

Lastly, please allow me to conclude with a compliment to these amazing communication devices -- but perhaps we could find a way to make them more accessible? I am fortunate to have my magic, but if an earth pony or pegasus were to come here, they might have a terrible time with working these things.

~Princess Celestia

[ ... Anypony? He'd brush this off, but it seems like there's some kind of misunderstanding. ]

sorry uh not one of those sun gods. not really a god at all.

you do know that ponies and horses from this world dont talk or do anything like that
right?

never heard of a pegasus i dont thing

[letteropener]

'Anypony' is an inclusive term -- it can be extended to donkeys, griffons, zebras, even dragons if they wish it to be. And in this case I extend it to humans as well.

Pegasi are winged ponies.

[ Sorry, Celestia. He's a simple guy in that his mind doesn't travel very far on how things could be. In other words, he lacks a wonderful imagination. It's about as great as his texting. ]

oh uh... k. griffons?

i guess you- they- can always use voice chat

[letteropener]

That is true, but doesn't it seem a little unfair? Imagine if you were in Equestria and could not pick up something on a high shelf because only unicorns had the magic to reach it.

I wouldn't mind getting to know you better, especially since your domain is also the sun.

[Is he bothered by a talking pegasus? Not at all.]

Do you plan on having a specific date to invite everyone or are people allowed to come to your temple, anyway, to greet you?

Re: From: Tonatiuh

[letteropener]

I'm prepared right away, of course! Although I am a bit iffy on what humans normally eat, so refreshments may prove a bit complicated.

[rainbowmaster]

Maybe I should bring some food then? What is it that you usually eat when you were in Equestria?

[ Ugh, why do the other sun gods always want to meet? To size up the competition, perhaps. That at least makes sense to Hibiki, and she can't say she's opposed in theory. The practice tends to be annoying, however.

Which is why that signature, more than anything, leads her to reply. ]

It's an honor to share a domain with someone so esteemed, Princess. I am Apollo, Preek god of the sun.

You may call me "Hibiki".

[ Does she really just want to be called "Hibiki" by a princess?

Maybe a little. ]

[letteropener]

[She's getting her wish!]

It's a pleasure to hear from you, Hibiki. Have you been here long?

[priforprince]

[ WHAT A GOOD DAY ]

Long enough I hope to be of service.

[ She's been here a month and is a chronic liar. ]

I don't know what you're talking about ponies for but just use the Voice or Video option if it's too hard to write things out. There's a lot of people here who can't read or write, apparently.

[Not going to admit that he had trouble with the keyboard too.]

[letteropener]

That is a shame, and I will be happy to help anypony learn who wishes to. But it strikes me as quite unfair that fully literate people would be denied the chance to use these devices to their fullest, simply because their anatomy is different.

[handsome_genius]

Anatomy...? I don't get what you're saying at all.

[Unless she's talking about someone who lost a limb in an accident or to disease...?]

[pathofheaven]

Everypony?

I'd say there's no need for more than one sun in the sky, but it seems we're stuck with this, and we can certainly do with more worthy representatives of the sun.

[ As opposed to the other one. Who isn't worthy. ]

[letteropener]

Of course, everypony! I'd love to meet all of you.

I certainly don't think we need more than one sun, but it does puzzle me that no one is actually raising and lowering it.

[pathofheaven]

I doubt you'll find many ponies, but there'll be no shortage of guests.

The sun god Helios is supposed to drag the sun across the sky in his chariot, but thankfully that's not asked of us. I quite like having my days free, not pulling the sun along. And in any case, the sun is far too big for any of us to control.

[neraiuchi]

[ Miyuki absolutely reads the other replies to this post, as well as the post itself, so he's sort of figured that the person that posted this isn't actually a human. Which... okay! Sure, why not, he's dead and can turn into a sword to kill tainted spirits. Some kind of equine person isn't totally farfetched.

So of course he's going to sign Mei up for this apparent sun god get together without telling him. ]

i'm sure that some means of making communication more inclusive can be looked into.
there's enough people here to work on something like that.
but for the main intent of your post, your highness, [ she's a horse of some kind, this is amazing ] i'm not a god, but the one i work with is associated with the sun, as well.
i'm sure he'd be happy to meet someone as well-spoken and friendly as you seem to be.

[letteropener]

[Celestia assumes good intentions, as is her wont.]

You are his shinki? I'd be delighted to meet both of you, if you are willing.

[neraiuchi]

[ It's a 50/50 of good intentions. Miyuki wants to make fun of Mei, but also wants to satiate curiosity. Celestia seems pretty well-spoken and thoughtful, anyways, it'll be interesting. ]

i am. there's two of us working with this one god, actually, if you don't mind a possible trio of visitors.

[koshien]

[ whoa, a princess? nice. ♥ mei ignores the language for the most part, mostly because he was Pinged, basically. thanks, miyuki! ]

if you're looking for a sun god, i'm one.
huitzilpochtli, aztec sun god, the one and only. ♥
i think there are a couple of sun gods around, though.
guess we'll have to share the responsibility! :)


[ please do not flirt with a horse. ]

[letteropener]

[Pony!]

It's very nice to meet you! You are also a sun god in the region of the Americas, I think, then?

I'm actually doing far less work with the sun here than I ever did in Equestria, so I'm not certain what we can share.

[koshien]

[ the point still stands ]

ding ding! ★ central america, actually.
we went and visited a few days ago, it was awesome.
we don't actually have responsibilities here, as far as i know!
i mean besides meetings and stuff like that
but, my god fights his sister across the sky in a battle to death every night lol and i definitely have not been doing that

Princess Celestia! Hi there! I'm so glad this worked out for you! What do you mean that a different kind of pony would have a hard time, though?

; Text

[letteropener]

These very small letters are quite difficult to press with hooves, I am afraid. Even taking off my shoes, I struggled. A pony without magic would be in trouble.

Re: ; Text

[pure_radiantics]

[She's trying to imagine that and is successful. Like a small pony even. That would just break a phone probably.]

Hmm, I see what you mean... I wonder if there's a way to make carpet-sized keyboards if that happens.
