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.

more or less. they have to make an offering first.
it usually involves killing ayakashi, but sometimes stupid little human things, too.
cleaning things, entertaining a baby, whatever

[letteropener]

Why is that stupid? If we have the capacity to aid them, in a positive and beneficial way, should we deny it when they have asked, and even offered us something?

[koshien]

[ did he just get mom'd ]

oh, sorry
that's not really what i meant
trivial, i guess. (;´Д`)
i'm not about to say no to anybody's offering
i'm just saying, not every prayer is violent.

[A little. Celestia is like that. It comes from literally everypony being younger than her by orders of magnitude.]

What is trivial to you might mean the world to somepony else, though. But I understand what you mean. Sometimes it takes a great deal of wisdom to know when to answer such a request, and when to let it be.

How did you make these devices do that symbol? I have figured out most of them, but...

[koshien]

[ considering mei is 17! ]

yeah...something like that, i guess

oh. there's an emoji keyboard! （*´▽｀*）
it's under the options i think, lol
you can use them for all kinds of faces.
(●♡∀♡) this one's in love
<(｀^´)> this one's mad
٩ʕ•͡וʔ۶ and this one's a bear. lolol

[letteropener]

Oh, no wonder I am confused! These represent more like human faces, I did not recognize them at first.

[koshien]

[ .................. ]

well...of course they are?

[letteropener]

Forgive me, it is easier to forget that I am in a world dominated by humans when I am here alone in my temple.

[koshien]

...what are you if you aren't human?

[letteropener]

I am a pony.

SERIOUSLY?!
send me a selfie!
there's a camera button on the phone

[ he even sends along one of his own: dw he looks very cute. ]

[letteropener]

[When one can lift and manipulate objects with magic, one can use the proper camera instead of the much lamer selfie camera (which, in fact, Celestia does not realize is a thing). So she cheerfully obliges him with a picture of herself.]
