One Diamond - Re-Count! [Video]

[destinedforrock]

[A Tentomon buzzes in the background up behind and down off the frame on a certain purple-haired, white-horned young woman - she's smiling, bats her eyes, speaks with a brightness and drawl, but it's a touch quick.]

Ah - Rarity, all, hello~o. I don't suppose anypony missed me...! [Strictly casual.] Tentomon and I are Chosen, and. ...Well! It appears I've been - away, for a while, or so Tentomon says! Dear do remind me, what month might it be?

December.

R~right... [Giggle - not upset, but not actually happy, either.] It wa~as June here, last I was aware! And it does figure, I am not - dressed for winter, but~! ...That's hardly a matter of importance... First of all! Twilight, Fluttershy, darlings - here I am! Do give me a call as soon as you can! I must know if you're all right and we have simply got to catch up, if you are! What say you to a~ girl's day? Not to rush things of course, but, I - expect one's in order.

And - also. My partner and I are apparently now staying in~n... F1, 009, I believe! I welcome you to give us a call, too; we cannot wait to get to know you.

Now... ta-ta, for now~! [Last flash of a smile and a bobbed nod at the camera before she ends the recording.]

[There is a gasp]

Rarity?!

[Video]

[destinedforrock]

Ah~ Twilight! ...Thank goodness! [Not missing a beat! She's not quite thought to check other recent messages quite yet - takes the reaction to mean her turning up's a surprise for not quite the right reason!]

Do forgive me for vanishing such a dreadfully long time. ...Apparently. I've. Missed much, probably, I know.

[Video]

[most_awkward_human]

Oh Rarity, it's fine. Actually, umm... if what Flutershy told me is true... I vanished right after you did. But at least you still have your memory of being here, mine was erased apparently...

[She still wasn't sure what to think about that, but at least she now had three of her friends here with her. That was a plesant surprise.]

(Ta-da! There was ONE pony you didn't mention in that line-up who's cyan-colored hair appears onscreen, not that she wanted a 'girls' day' if that meant what she thought it meant.

Didn't mean she wouldn't go hang out, but she'd probably fall asleep mid-way through the planned events.)

Rarity!! Hehe, guess I'm not the only pony who showed up before Hearth's Warming Eve.

(A beat, and she blinks.) ...Wait a second, you were here with both Twilight and Fluttershy?!

(Video)

[destinedforrock]

R - ?

[Didn't mention her, neigh, and wasn't expecting at all to see her but that is very unmistakably her!]

...Rainbow, darling! Why - [Bit of a pointed drawl.] - yes, I was, back in June in~ Terminal Tokyo time, from the looks of things, now - how long have you been here?

(Video)

[adashofloyalty]

(She laughs a little, knowing moments like that one are very rare and don't come along too often.)

Hehe, got here a few days ago. Twilight showed up the night before, and so far it's pretty awesome! (A beat.) Didn't think all this reconstruction would be happening.

[badluckbabe]

Looks like the world just got a little more charming and fashionable.

Welcome back.

[destinedforrock]

Ah...?

[Puffs out her chest a bit.]

Now, I remember you~ Thanks for the warm welcome, Jinx!

[badluckbabe]

Of course~ You deserve nothing less.

Pity you had to show up right after the city got wrecked.

[Video]

[happiestberry]

Are you another one of Fluttershy's friends?

[Video]

[destinedforrock]

[Seems as if Fluttershy is as ever a very popular mare here - it's got her grinning!]

...That I am, dear! [All high-ish and mellow chirping.] She and Twilight and I hail from Ponyville. [Whoops, there's a fourth of them here now - ] ...Oh, and Rainbow Dash! Of course.

And you must be one of her Chosen friends! I'm Rarity, darling; it's always lovely to meet a friend of Fluttershy's!

[Video]

[happiestberry]

Yeah, me and Fluttershy are roommates and we've become really close, or at least I'd like to think so!

[ She smiles brightly. ]

I really really hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're seriously really beautiful!

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh Rarity...!

[Forgive her for leaving it on audio. She may be just a bit emotional.]

I-I...y-you...

[And that may or may not be sniffling.]

[video]

[destinedforrock]

[And there she was pleased as punch to hear Fluttershy's voice coming in! Mouth drops open - and expression slackens.

Voice rolls along a curve in concern. Doesn't lose its color, so to speak, but it's uncertain.] -- Fluttershy...?

[audio]

[strengthinkindness]

[She has to keep the video off for a moment, because she doesn't want Rarity to see her like this.]

I-I...I-I'm sorry, I...I-I'm...really happy to s-see you...

[Especially because of how worried she'd been when she disappeared.]

[Video]

[for_granite]

[Do you remember this face? If not that's fine, but Terra somewhat remembers you.]

Holy cow. First time I've had a former roommate show back up. Hey, 'm Terra, d'you remember?

[Video]

[destinedforrock]

[Ahh, how could she not? She and Tentomon did spend a week or two rooming with you!]

Why - you make it sound as if you go through roommates every month, dear, but of course I remember you!

Hello - Terra was it? You look well!

[Video]

[for_granite]

[She laughs lightly.] You could say that. Kinda got sick of it and live on my own now.

S'good to see you back. 'specially since Fluttershy'll be happy to see you.

[thescaronhisface]

...Did fluttershy's whole world just get sucked in at once?

[destinedforrock]

Of course not - I've still heard no sign of our friends Pinkie Pie and Applejack! Let alone our~ families, Spike, our pets, the Princesses, most of my clientele... [She's being flippant, of course, but anyhoo.]

Another one of her friends - I see.

[beingthecreature]

You've been here before?

[destinedforrock]

Why - yes! That I have~ I. Only stayed for what if I do recall was only about a week, or two - and it was all the way back in summer, and so you can imagine it seems I'll need to... get myself reoriented!

But! [Tiny "heh~".] It will all do, I - don't think my partner holds it against me, and it so happens that three of my friends are here!

My name's Rarity, by the way, and - who might you be?

[guilmon]

Hey, Guilmon remembers you!

[He giggles, perking up at the mention of the room number.]

It sounds like you'll be staying in the same apartment as Guilmon, too! And Takato, Harry, and Harry's Biyomon. They're there too.

[destinedforrock]

Ooh, we remember you, too~! [Little of a giggle in her own voice likewise - quick beaming glimpse down off frame.] Don't we, Tentomon...?

[No response from Tentomon that's heard but Rarity moces right on.] And you do have a partner, do you? Well, I cannot wwwait to meet them, dearie~! ...And who is Harry, dear? [Very drawn-out with very much a flat "A"-sound.] We will have to keep an eye out for them!

[Video]

[hot_nunchaku_fury]

Hi, I don't know you, but I know Fluttershy, so I thought I would introduce myself, as one of her other friends.

[Showing up on the video feed is a teenage boy with bright orange hair, bright blue eyes and freckles on his cheeks. He is wearing greens and browns, with the exception of an orange scarf wrapped around his neck, that had little turtles designed into it. A smile is on his face and he looks very friendly.]

My name's Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey, most people do. It's nice to meet you.
