CALL ME OUT MEME

[hurf_durf]

The fancy table I had here before was woefully out of date and I'm too lazy to update the code! So instead, here is my muselist! Anyone currently listed as being played in a game or in the 'Homeless/Memes/Museboxes' section is fair game for threading.

Instructions:
1) Leave a top-level comment with the name of one of my muses and a thread starter.

2) PM me to let me know you did that, since I don't get notifs for new comments to this post.

3) Let the pretendy funtimes begin!

Comments

[prissy_hooves]

Ah... yes, I most certainly am, darling.

[Rarity glances around at the other ponies, looking more than a little embarrassed at being put on the spot like that.]

And you must be one of my many fans, is that right? Perhaps you'd like to take a look at my newest collection?

[suicidoll]

(Oh right, that would most definitely put her under the suspicious gaze of her fellow ponies. She really doesn't want to put that much on her, but maybe she can play this off. Kreutzer composes herself before speaking again.)

Correct. Word of your remarkable talent has spread beyond Equestria and I simply had to see it for myself. It was a long trip and I was worried you would be away when I arrived, but I'm most pleased to see you here.

(Yes good, play it off like you're some sort of foreign celebrity.)

I'm something of a seamstress myself; my name is Kreutzer

[prissy_hooves]

[Normally Rarity revels in attention, but the reaction to someone who is clearly an outsider, especially of a species they've never seen before, is just making her want to retreat back inside. But if this is someone who knows her name, she also wants to get to the bottom of that. So this was really a perfect ploy.]

Well, then, you must be tired! Please, come in, I'll make you a cup of tea and then we can get right down to a little girl talk. Perhaps we can trade fashion tips, hmm?

[With a bit of nervous laughter, Rarity begins trotting back toward her house, hoping Kreutzer will follow along after her.]

[suicidoll]

Thank you; that sounds like a wonderful idea.

(Okay so things haven't exactly been made less awkward, but at least there's progression. Doesn't look like Rarity remembers her, but she had to see if there was any kind of lingering memory of the human in her mind. Anything at all...otherwise, she'd keep herself hidden back at the farm. At least Applejack and Apple Bloom retained their memories.

Kreutzer is definitely following the unicorn back to her home, trying to speed things along to hopefully get away from the public eye. Things would be much more awkward out there than in the privacy of the boutique.)

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity closes the door behind them with a quick glow of her horn and sighs.]

Well, now... I don't mean to be rude, Miss Kreutzer, but it would seem you have a bit of explaining to do. Just what was that display out there, and how do you know me? And for that matter, what are you and how did you get here?

[suicidoll]

(She's once again brought into an event of understandable confusion. And once again, it still takes Kreutzer by surprise. She really need to stop being so jumpy. It really doesn't help that she's holding that Rarity doll, so she quickly hides it behind her back before saying anything.)

Now I know you must be confused and what I'm about to say will make little to no sense, but I ask that you hear me out.

I'm a human, a species of mammal clearly not a normal part of Equestria. How I arrived here is a rather long story, but we've met beofre and...I wanted to make sure you were alright.

[prissy_hooves]

A... human, you say? And you say we've met before?

[This is a little much to swallow all at once.]

I'm quite sorry to say, but I'm afraid I don't remember anything like that, and I think something of that nature would be rather difficult to forget.

[suicidoll]

Yes, I...suppose it's something one can't truly forget.

(Well that confirms it. No memories of Mayfield. Or of Kreutzer. She doesn't want to give up this easily, but if there really is no chance of her remembering things, then all she'll accomplish is confusing Rarity. There's the briefest flash of dejection before it's hidden behind stoicism.)

I...I'm glad to see you're doing well. The business seems to be prospering as well...that's wonderful.

[prissy_hooves]

I'm very sorry, darling. You seem like a perfectly nice... human, was it?

[For what it's worth, she does feel bad about all of this.]

Yes, I've been doing quite well lately. I'm hoping to have some of my designs premiere in Canterlot next season!

[suicidoll]

I'm sure they will. There are few who can rival your talents in fashion.

...I apologize for wasting your time.

(She's about to make for the door before stopping so suddenly, remembering one very important thing.)

Ah, before I do, I want to return something to you. Something that's rightfully yours.

(With a wave of her hand, she summons forth Empress, the Rarity doll with a striking resemblance to the unicorn she's modeled after. The doll flies over to Rarity's side.)

She's quite a lively one, but I hope she will serve you well...

[prissy_hooves]

She looks just like me...!

[Rarity is awestruck at the design, the beauty of this doll. Looking it over with a practiced eye, she suddenly calls out toward Kreutzer as she's headed toward the door.]

...Kreutzer, please wait!

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer stops mere steps away from the door, her hand already reaching for the knob by the time Rarity calls for her. She only doesn't turn to face her due to already swelling up with emotion, assuming this to be more of a good-bye than Mayfield allowed them to have.)

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity slowly trots toward the door, securing the door with her magic and walking up alongside Kreutzer. She stops there for a moment before affectionately nuzzling up against her free hand.]

[suicidoll]

(The human freezes up, her watery eyes focusing on the unicorn beside her.)

Rarity...?

[prissy_hooves]

Kreutzer... I remember. I remember it all.

[suicidoll]

...

(A warm smile forms on her face as she slowly lowers herself to her knees and on Rarity's eye level. Her eyes continue to water, but this time for a very different reason.)

It's been so long since I last saw you well, it...I missed you.

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity gladly leans forward to wrap her front legs around Kreutzer's shoulders in a fond hug.]

I missed you too... so much...

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer happily returns the hug.)

I thought the town took you away ...that you wouldn't be able to return home and I'd never see you again, but you're here and...and I couldn't be more thankful that you are.

[prissy_hooves]

But Kreutzer... you know you won't be able to go back yourself, don't you?

[suicidoll]

...I know. Coming here means I'll have to spend the rest of my life here, but I made my choice willingly.

I was preparing to live with Applejack and her family on their farm; I'm not very strong, but I think I can still help them with their work.

[prissy_hooves]

On the farm? Nonsense, darling - why don't you live here with me? I could use a good pair of hands around the shop.

[suicidoll]

Oh, are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose...but I would love to help you around the boutique if I can.

[prissy_hooves]

It's no imposition at all! I... I would enjoy having you here, actually.

[Shyly tapping a hoof against the ground.]

[suicidoll]

(Kreutzer wipes her eyes with a sleeve.)

If you'll have me...then I would love to live with you.

[prissy_hooves]

I insist.

[Another nuzzle.]
