The emperor's clothes trick!

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[Trixie casually strolls out of her room with her PawnChessmon hot on her heels looking flustered. This is because she's only wearing her hat and her cape. She informs him to turn on the communicator and he fumbles with it as she passes through the living room heading for the door.

The first image to appear on the network is of her bubbly blue butt complete with matching moon and stars markings on the sides like a tattoo. The camera pans up and she turns to face the camera with a flourish of her cape and flashing her modest sized bare chest in the process]

Greetings adoring fans! It is I, the Great and Powerful Trixie!

And Trixie is curious. With the city all smashed up are there ANY businesses open? Preferably where Tricie can procure more of those lovely peanut butter crackers they had in the vending machine near the main Terminal?

[not even mentioning the nudity... Because why would she?]

Babydoll, you do realize you're naked as a jaybird, right? [ Roze asked, flickering onto the screen and grinning broadly. ] Diggin' the tramp stamp and all but...are you fuckin' high right now?

There's little kids in this place. Even I keep the girls on lock when I'm in public and I'm about as showy as it goes.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Naked?

But this is Trixie's usual day to day attire, especially on stage.

Also, what is a tramp stamp?

[fullofthorns]

[ She scratches her chin, arching a pink brow slowly and cocking her head to one side. ]

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess you're not human back where you're from? And a tramp stamp is a tattoo usually on the small of you back but...bumpersticker is less fun to say.

You need like...a top and bottom before you go prancin' around in public, babe. You're flashin' your tackle. That's not exactly what a lady does. Trust me. I do everything ladies shouldn't do, and I still wear pants. Well...or skirts or something.

[adashofloyalty]

(Yeah, if Rainbow had actually been drinking anything, she'd be spitting it all over the D-Terminal. Thankfully, she spat to the side but that didn't mean she wasn't getting an eyeful.

Not that she hadn't seen it before 'cause they are ponies after all, but...while they were here?)

...Trixie, what are you doing? This isn't Ponyville!

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Of course it isn't. Just imagine how that little one horse town would react to monsters like these.

Why did you feel compelled to remind Trixie of the obvious?

[voice]

[headseraph]

[She's too embarrassed to show her face on video, and her voice is slightly strained.]

Do you . . . need to borrow some clothing, Miss Trixie? I know it's probably kind of difficult to get any with Lilymon's closed at the moment.

Re: [voice]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Apparently so...though Trixie has yet to fully grasp why you humans are so embarrassed by this.

[most_awkward_human]

[...it takes Twilight a moment to speak as she just stares for a few seconds.]

T-Trixie?! What are you...? Shouldn't you be wearing clothes?!

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie is wearing clothes.

[Gestures to her cape and hat]

Though for whatever reason Trixie is being informed apparently humans are much more insistent on clothing. That should make the Seamstress happy.

[She means Rarity she just doesn't know her well enough to use her name]

[Voice]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Hi, Trixie. It's an incredibly stammering roommate. He will not show his face and he is not looking at the camera anyway.]

Tr-Trixie, you need to put on clothes, please.

Re: [Voice]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

But no one has explained to me why it's so shameful.

Video

[alive_through_luck]

Hey!

[Oh dear...this isn't going to be pretty.]

No one wants to see any of that! Unless you're trying to act like a street--MMMPH!

[A pillow suddenly hits Duo in the face, managing to cut him off before he can finish that sentence.]

Re: Video

[elementofpeanutbutter]

You humans baffle Trixie on a number of levels.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

A-Ah...T-Trixie...Y-You...Y-You kind of need to...

You need to wear something!

Re: [video]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Yes...that seems to be what the general thought is.

But why is it an issue? We all have human parts don't we?

[video]

[fuhrinkaed]

OH MY GOD WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?!

I-I MEAN.

PUT ON SOME!

OH GOD.

Re: [video]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Could someone PLEASE explain to Trixie why humans are so frightened of their own forms?

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Wait.


How come you get to do that, but it's 'wrong and disgustin' when I do it?


[Complete with the finger quotes. Because that's the real problem here.]

Re: [Video]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie cannot begin to explain. This seems more natural.

Strip away your confining garb and embrace the brisk afternoon breeze!

[Video]

[treacherous_widow]

A girl after my own spark. Nice tattoo blue butt. Now go put on some clothes before the rest of the population blows their circuits.

Re: [Video]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Your spark? Well, Trixie will take that as a compliment.

And Trixie feels she should correct you. It is not a Tattoo, but in fact The Great and Powerful Trixie's cutie mark.

[hellspawnedhero]

*While most people are freaking out a bit (or a lot), Dante's just over here openly ogling.*

Much's I appreciate a babe flashin' tits and an ass like that, you oughta be careful 'bout what ya show in public. A lotta people got it in their heads that anythin' related to sexy bits is sinful or some shit.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

As Trixie is now learning.

What sort of horrible history do humans have that make them believe such terrible things about their own bodies?

[beingthecreature]

[Well, THAT was something he wasn't exactly expecting. But while Chris is clearly struggling with what to say, Nes decides to pipe in and be helpful.]

I like the design thing on your-!

[As helpful as mud while washing clothes. Chris elbows him before he can finish the sentence.]

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Design?

Oh! You mean Trixie's cutiemark!

[She moves the camera back around to show it off.]

Where Trixie comes from when a pony finds her special talent they receive a mark to indicate as such. Trixie's mark represents her great magical prowess...which is useless in this world.
