I've heard there's a bunch of people I ought to know floating around out there this weekend. Shame none of you have run into me yet, though for the moment I'll chalk that up to my being busy being incredibly brilliant and not staying still and having a new daughter to teach the wonders of the world to and all sorts of other reasons. The point is... You know. Hello!

I'm the Doctor. I suppose we both have names that are a bit on the appositive side of things.

[dashingrainbow]

What side of things? [dash is terrible with big words]

[video]

[am_i_being_rude]

Describe things about someone. Like a title, or a manner in which they are.

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

Oh! Yeah. I guess lots of ponies do. [no one had ever thought about that]

[video]

[am_i_being_rude]

So how are you today, Rainbow Dash?

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

Fine. Seems I'm not going to be here long, which is fine for me. It's crazy that the weather here moves on its own!

How about you, Doc?

[video]

[am_i_being_rude]

[...The weather does what?]

I'm good, good. Running into a lot of old friends today, which is just brilliant. I love that. Normally don't get the chance, really.

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

[you should ask, silly]

That's great! Friends are really important!

[video]

[am_i_being_rude]

As I'm learning, what... Wh-What was that you said about the weather changing?

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

oh! Where I'm from it's the pegasus ponies that take care of the weather. We make the snow, rainbows, and clouds. Then she make sure the clouds are where they should, make it rain and thunder so there aren't any droughts, and make the snow come and go during the winter. Stuff like that.

[am_i_being_rude]

Oh! Brilliant! Sounds like a bit of a commitment though. I don't suppose there's too many sick days in that line of work.

[video]

[dashingrainbow]

Well, it's my job! But there is more then one pony that helps me. It's a team effort.

[am_i_being_rude]

It sounds like it would need to be. I mean, look at it worked out for the Greeks? What sort of weather happens if you don't get along?

[dashingrainbow]

.. Who are the Greeks?

2/2

[dashingrainbow]

well, nothing happens. Crops dry up and every pony gets too hot.

[am_i_being_rude]

[Well you are from somewhere else, aren't you.]

You might like them. Made good use of big ponies themselves.

Ahh. Well, I suppose that makes sense. Not a great balance system but I suppose you introduce a small bit of disruption to this one and it wouldn't fare too well either.

[dashingrainbow]

Use of ponies?

Well, even if something goes a little wrong, I always make sure it's right in the end! Ponyville is my home! I have to watch out for it.

[am_i_being_rude]

Good friends with a great big one of them, anyway.

That sounds like the right attitude to have about it. I like to go around keeping things protected as well. It's amazing how many people want to ruin them.

[dashingrainbow]

Cool!

I know! I'll defend Ponyville till the end though!

[am_i_being_rude]

Well, hopefully not. It's not that much fun to do.

[dashingrainbow]

... huh?

[am_i_being_rude]

Defending something until the end. Defending it, sure. It's 'the end' part that's better left for later. But that's pretty normally the case. Except with some television shows. Really, CSI: Law and Order was pushing it a bit too far.

[dashingrainbow]

Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about anymore.

[am_i_being_rude]

Yeahhhh, I tend to run into that quite a lot. Don't worry about it too much.

[dashingrainbow]

[Dash just laughs] you're a riot, Doc! It would be awesome if you lived in Ponyville!
