Like I said, I go with, realistically, that during the crisis it was decided that both the princesses would not be inside the shield except for changing the watch. in case some massive surprise hit took it out, or trapped them for a long time, one would be free to rally the rest of Equestria. And so Luna was outside the city sleeping, to far away to hear the commotion

Rule of Funny answer, she was in bed, during the height of the battle she just grunted something about everypony needs to keep it down, rolled over and stuffed a pillow over her ears.

Or, total WTF! It happened on Diablo 3's launch day and she was to busy RCV'ing at the servers not being up.

@Ace: So she wasn't being ignorant at the end of the episode, she was more like: "So, a bunch of changelings tried to pull some shit but I beat 'em back. Pretty dull really. Anything cool happen over here?"

Evening everypony. What's going on?

@Ed: Yeah

@Orion: Heya Orion, I forgot to ask if you managed to make it to the proper wedding after the changelings were driven off.

If changelings feed on love, can you weaken them with hate?

Mmm, dark side power...

I'd actually bet that Luna's sleep schedule is really strict. Celestia's had a thousand years of experience pulling double duty, while Luna is both younger, less experienced, and short a thousand years of development. She probably couldn't be very active during the day even if she wanted to.

@Ace: Why yes, I have. When you get the chance, watch Twi's "Love in Bloom." Also, give me a minute to change avatars. There you will see a clue.

She wakes up at six thirty in the evenings and immediately downs 5 pots of coffee.

@Orion: Well, it would really have sucked to be laid up in bandages and unable to attend the real wedding.

@ed - If only she drank 95 more pots...

She doesn't hit the snooze button on her alarm clock, she Royal Canterlot Voice-s it to death.

@Ace: Only my left wing got beat up during the skirmish.

Nah, 1 pot is enough. The pony who brews her coffee is a skilled coffee brewer with a cutie mark that suspiciously resembles some commercial coffee joint's He always warns her that the special coffee is too strong for ordinary ponies to drink without diluting first.

@Orion: Well, I bet you secretly welcomed having Aqua take care of your wing ;)

@Ace: Indeed I did.

@Lurker: Luna totally has a tiny watch set into her collar.

Twi's Librarian Assessment has been leaked

@Ace: Her coffee is so potent you have to wear a hazmat suit just to handle it.

I'll stick with coffee beans and sugar cubes mixed in thank you.

Of course, this assumes that being a librarian is Twilight's job and that she's not, you know, a student who happens to live in a library.

I prefer chocolate to coffee :V

I'm sure Pinkie would agree.

...On second thought, don't let Pinkie near the coffee

@JT: True dat. On the other hand, we never really see any master librarians in Ponyville reveal themselves yet.

Re: Pony chess.

I had a fanfic idea in which Luna is the pony psychopomp (in addition to her other duties). A pony who thinks he died too soon invokes Chess with Death in hopes of getting sent back. This turns out to be the first time Luna's ever heard of the game, because chess was invented during her exile to the moon. She agrees to play because she wants to learn more about it, and she gets completely schooled.

But Luna enjoyed it so much that she starts challenging every soul bound for the afterlife to a game. So for the month or so it takes her to get good at chess, no one dies at all.

Cadance and SA were the ones to whip up the shield that saved the day, but none of that could have happened if Twilight hadn't busted Cadance out of imprisonment.

And really, weddings are allegedly all about the bride and groom. I think it's only appropriate that Cadance and SA get to be the ones to save Equestria on the most special day of their life.

What about the pony with the cherry? It made economic sense for him to raise the price as he saw that his customer really needed it, and she was a pushover—but then when he sold it to someone else for just two bits. THAT was just being a jerk for the hell of it.

To paraphrase Tom Siddell: "Congratulations to those of you who guessed this. In my mind I am picturing a dartboard, with every available space riddled with darts."

Who even ran that library before Twi stepped in? Do ponies just walk in and take books on an honour system?

@ed: I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I knew you'd bring up that dartboard quote.

That reminds me, I still have a book I need to retu- *ahem*

@JTeeth: We're Homestuck fans. We're used to that sort of theorycrafting. XD

@Ed: Perhaps, yeah.
