Grrrrrrrrrrabblerabblerabble. Video for my stream froze for the last couple of minutes.

Well... at least I got to HEAR the end.

@Enlong Yeah, if anything, it was more about Rainbow Dash being on guard the entire time rather than Twilight possibly losing it.

I did like hearing Coach Shining Armor. His normal voice sounds a little too casual but his coach voice really did affirm why he is the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Well we got two pretty good bits of continuity with the Crystal Heart going off again and Just For Sidekicks working into it.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

Well, given his captain of the guard position, he's probably the best suited for physical training.

Plus he just gives off a "coach" vibe

also, only sane pony. He knew something was up

@Crow: My guess is that given all the assistants he and Cadance have, his current job is less intensive than his previous one. That and if he's the pony equivalent of a marine or Green Beret or whatever, he's obviously a good athlete.

Time, is it?

Okay then.

Cadence was sent away from the Crystal Kingdom shortly after Sombra assassinated the previous queen and seized power. She grew up in the kingdom led by the princesses who took out Sombra. When she was fully grown, Celestia saw an opportunity to bring the empire back, and re-instate its rightful queen.

RE: Shiny doing training: He's probably not the best in the world at the job, but one imagines he was probably a drill seargent at one point in his career, to judge from his bellows.

...how old IS he, anyways? He can't be older than his late-20's, and he's already captain of the guard? I wonder if there's any noble benefits going on there?

#337486 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:06:51 AM from Singapore

@Enlong: That's pretty much what I

'd last time, only I have it that Cadance is the descendant of the deposed Royal Family from the Crystal Kingdom.

@Kegi: I imagine he initially got a JO key position with his barrier magic, and got promoted up due to his competency.

She needs a name

Actually, I didn't think of it before, but I wonder what happened to Shining's captain of the guard post. I assumed he kept it when he married Cadance, but now that they're living in the Crystal Empire, he must have had to resign, right? So he's probably got too much time on his hands lately.

#337488 Enlong Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:09:04 AM from The Underground Facility

I think Shiny's in his 30's, at least. Twilight's position as a grad student-esque thing would put her around my age or higher...

Don't think she's actually derecitly related to the Crystal Empires rulers. All the actual Crystal ponies keep their crystalness. But non CP's only get it for a short while after getting blasted by the heart. So she's not a Crystal Pony.

#337490 edvedd Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:09:11 AM from Over there. Maybe?

Something tells me that Twi's calm and collected thing is going to be incredibly relevant in a week or so.

#337491 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:09:59 AM from Singapore

Shiny was probably discharged honorably following his "promotion" to Royalty by marriage. Of course this also means he'll take keen interest in the operation of his own guards now.

@Seraphem: My

about that is that her bloodline is diluted from interbreeding with Equestrians over the years.

Eh, he probably spends most of his time managing the empire, now.

As for the visitor's name... Her cutie mark makes me want to call her Poppycock. Since, you know, she was a fake and all.

#337493 Enlong Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:10:47 AM from The Underground Facility

I think it's a species thing. She's not a Crystal Pony, same as she isn't technically a Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth Pony. She's an Alicorn, which means she's born for royalty, in this sort of world.

#337494 Crowfall Sat, 9th Feb '13 8:11:53 AM

Poppycock is an excellent name for her. I approve.
