prissy_hooves[Phone; unfiltered]
Well, it certainly seems that Mayfield is even more uncultured than I'd originally thought. Listen to all of you, airing out all of your secrets and dark thoughts over the phone. You should all be ashamed of yourselves! What kind of manners are those? Thankfully, as a proper lady, I don't have to worry about that sort of thing. I would never pick up the phone and air all of my secret grievances with my friends, like how Applejack really needs to take better care of that tangled mess she calls a mane if she is to have any hope of attracting her own Prince Charming. Or how Rainbow Dash has no tact at all and the worst manners I've ever seen. I mean, really, what does '20% cooler' even mean? How does one quantify that sort of thing? It makes no sense whatsoever. Twilight Sparkle needs to learn that not every answer for every situation can be found inside a book, and would it really kill Pinkie Pie to throw a quiet party where everyone sits around sipping tea and making light conversation? Just once in a while? Also, Spike, dear... I'm afraid you don't look quite as good in a moustache as you seem to think. Some dragons can pull off a moustache, but you are sadly not among them. As for Fluttershy... well, it's a good thing she isn't here, as much as I do miss her. After all, when she's actually putting forth the effort, she easily outshines me in almost every way without even trying!
[...Paaaaaaaause, as she takes in everything she just said, but especially that last part.]
...Not that I have a complex about that sort of thing, of course.
[The phone is hastily hung up at this point.
...
And then picked back up a moment later.]
...Except that I actually do.

Date: 2011-07-16 03:10 am (UTC)I heard you talking from the other room. Why do you feel like your friend outshines you?

Date: 2011-07-16 03:14 am (UTC)Fluttershy doesn't have to put forth any effort at all to look graceful and beautiful. I spend hours in front of the mirror every day making sure every curl in my mane is perfect before I even take a single step outside. But Fluttershy? She's a natural. If she had any sort of ambition for it at all, she'd be an instant star. I count my blessings every day that she's so shy, but even that becomes an asset when somepony is actually paying attention.

Second of all, do you really want to know what the first thing I noticed about you was?

What was it?

Date: 2011-07-18 11:17 pm (UTC)Your personality. [Well, that and the fact that you're a talking horse.] You've got a unique one. It's not something I can easily imagine anyone else having.
Besides, having to put effort into something isn't a weakness. It's a strength. It's how we get better. Fluttershy probably has to put effort into the things that matter to her, too. Everyone does.

I'd never thought of it that way before... perhaps you're right. There certainly aren't many ponies in Ponyville that work as hard as I do. Why, I shudder to think of all the all-nighters I've had to pull finishing last minute commissions.

Date: 2011-07-20 09:33 am (UTC)All-nighters, huh? You sound busy! But there, you see? It's more of an asset than you think. Just don't work yourself too hard. [Not that Nina's one to talk much.]
I was thinking, too. I'd understand if you weren't in the mood right now, especially with everything that's going on, but how would you like to go shopping? I've been thinking about what you said about my clothes.

Oh, shopping sounds marvelous!

Date: 2011-07-30 02:18 pm (UTC)[Nina giggles.]
Then, would you like to go now?
