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.

seems so

sorry i cant be any help. the person i'm shinki to isn't a part of the sun thing either. i think she said it was summer and stuff like that.

[letteropener]

Oh my goodness, the seasons have their own gods here as well? That's truly remarkable! What about the weather? Plants and animals? Dragons?

[bartenderizing]

i........

uh. i really dont know. there could be a god for anything i guess? its still rlly new to me

[letteropener]

Thus far it sounds like gods are responsible for things ponykind normally should be responsible for, but there are so many gods here I cannot imagine all of them are just seasons and weather and tending the land.

[bartenderizing]

no clue. i think there are gods of love or something else. something for kids?

[letteropener]

And my niece is the Princess of Love. I am starting to wonder a great deal about all of this...

[bartenderizing]

aybe they decided to just get someone who knew what they were doing to fill in for the person that disappeared

[letteropener]

Perhaps, but -- and I mean no offense by this, I am still learning of humans -- I do not know if you understand 'special talents' in quite the way we ponies do.

In fact, I am not even certain you have cutie marks. I think you must not, because otherwise why would you all, universally, keep them covered?

[bartenderizing]

probably not. i never heard of any of those things

but again im probably the worst person to talk and ask about it. sorry.

[letteropener]

Oh, I'm very sorry... Are you not a human?

[bartenderizing]

nah
i mean, im pretty sure im human

i just dont know about special talents or cutie marks

[letteropener]

I think if you had a cutie mark, you would know. They are very obvious, after all.

[bartenderizing]

maybe they're called something else

i rlly dont know what cutie marks are or how their obvious

[letteropener]

Do you have a large and obvious symbol or picture on your flanks?

[bartenderizing]

no

but i dont have any special talents either

[letteropener]

Everypony has a special talent. But you may not remember it, or you may not even have discovered it yet.

[bartenderizing]

yeah
that might not be the same for humans.

unless breaking things is considered a talent, which it shouldnt

[letteropener]

Why not? After all, it is often a very necessary and valuable talent.

[bartenderizing]

maybe not when its cups and trees

its uh been more of a problem then anything else

[letteropener]

You need to learn control, is that correct?

[bartenderizing]

ive got it. they break when im barely holding them

i just need stronger cups

[ Never mind the tree thing. He's too embarrassed to admit that in any kind of detail. ]

[letteropener]

[If Celestia is perfectly honest, that seems like a control problem to her still.]

And yet there are many things that need to be broken.

[bartenderizing]

[ That's because she's absolutely correct. Though he really has more strength than any normal person should have (in a world of where it really is abnormal.) She's still not wrong. ]

i dont know what those things could be but theres way more that shouldnt

[letteropener]

There are more things in this world that should not be baked than should, and yet baking is a very valuable talent.

[bartenderizing]

its also obvious what baking is good for and how it helps. ppl want bakers.
