- >you find a place to sit that happens to be an overturned bookcase
- >"Uh, where's Spike?"
- >normally he'd be busy cleaning this shit up
- "Oh, I sent him away on errands to pick up more ink and quills. And books about wolves. I'm afraid this library just isn't going to cut it!"
- >she's prancing around the mess, drawing an un-snapped quill, jar of ink and piece of parchment towards her with her magical purple aura
- >at least her telekinesis seems to work just fine
- >or so you think right up until the entire assortment goes whizzing past your face and smashes into the far wall
- "Ahahaha. Opps."
- >Twilight gives you a sheepish grin full of sharp teeth
- "I don't quite seem to have full control over my magic yet. But I'm getting there! I'm better than I was, anyway."
- >she coughs
- >a little gray feather comes spiraling out of her mouth
- >you stare at it as it floats down near your shoes
- >she doesn't seem to notice
- >"Uh, how much worse?"
- >if she heard you she doesn't let on
- >her ears don't even perk up
- "So! Anon, tell me about Dash and Fluttershy. What were they like?"
- >padding around in front of you, she settles down onto her haunches, looking up with her tail curled around her side
- >at this range the smell really hits you
- >it was covered by the scent of spilled ink before, but now it's all you can smell
- >it's nothing too terribly bad, but she does smell like, well, wet dog
- >you can feel your nose wrinkling like it's trying to recede back into your face
- >"Twilight, when was the last time you bathed?"
- >her expression freezes
- "Oooh...I don't know. Maybe...before I changed?"
- >she gives that little awkward laugh of hers, eyes darting from one side of the room to the other
- >"Twilight."
- >she looks at you
- >"I think you need a bath."
- >her tail gets going as she rises up, pacing, almost going in a circle
- "Aheh, no I don't, Anon. Don't be silly. I need this time to learn more about this phenomenon!"
- >"But you smell, Twilight. Can't you clean yourself?"
- >she's starting to back away
- "W-well no. I mean, you saw me with the paper and ink. They just go flying! And these paws, well, they're not exactly made for grabbing soap!"
- >she's walking backwards along the floor
- >you're starting to advance now with clean thoughts on your mind
- >"Someone could do it for you."
- "Oh, well, that's okay, really. There's no one to do it, and, uh, I need the time for research anyway!"
- >"But Twilight. It's not like you to be such a dirty girl."
- >her butt bumps into the far wall
- >she whips her head around, looking for a moment
- >seeing your chance, you lunge
- >"BATH TIME."
- >that's all it takes and she's bolting away
- >she actually darts around you as you smack against the wall and she jumps clear across a desk
- >as you pick yourself up she's put her fronts paws up on the lips of the desk, watching you, snout quivering
- >turning, you scowl at her
- >she whimpers a little, ducking down behind the desk
- >striding over, you vault the desk, coming down with both feet on the floor
- >she's already gone, scrambling up the stairs in that typically awkward way of a canine that doesn't quite have all four of its feet figured out
- >panting, you dash upstairs after her
- >"I'm going to get you wet and sticky whether you like it or not!"
- >you corner her in her bedroom
- >she's pressed into the corner across from the bed, tail still, trying to hunch down and make herself smaller than she actually is
- >you advance with a smile
- >"C'mon, Twilight. You need a washing."
- >she pouts at you
- "But the water makes me feel funny!"
- >"That's not an excuse for poor hygiene, young lady. Now you can follow me to the bathroom, or I can drag you there."
- >curling her lip, she snarls at you
- >lunging forward, you grab her by the scruff of the neck
- >she yelps and struggles, claws tearing at your pant legs
- >you end up dragging her into the bathroom on her back, legs and tail dragging behind her
- >she whines softly as you slam the door shut and start to fill the tub
