tvk | Apple Core 5: My little pony...

[Video]

[The video feed shows a face that is obviously Applejack, though for some reason younger. And many more freckles. She looks a little confused, but mostly angry, and in ill-fitting clothes. If there was any doubts this was Applejack, when she speaks with the familiar accent, that should at least confirm who it is.]

Um...do you hue-mins shrink sometimes? Ah woke up this morning way shorter than Ah've been here since showing up. And the clothes don't fit right either. This normal?

[Action, outside the hotel, seconds before the Dark Hour]

[With finally getting use to staying up during it, AJ has been doing her best to help clear shadows out during every Dark Hour she can. Just because she's smaller at the moment as a human doesn't mean when she changes back to her usual pony self she'll be any different. Right?

Well, she's about to find out, standing out on the sidewalk in those big clothes again. She didn't want to risk any of the small clothes that fit getting ripped when she changed into a full-grown pony.

She really shouldn't have worried though. At the start of the Dark Hour, instead of turning into a full grown pony in clothes she's wearing, she turns into a little filly pony that is swimming in the humongous clothes she's draped in.]

What the hay?! OH COME ON!!

Duuude. You're little too, pony-sis.

*Jupiter looks the same as always.*

[Applejack's hat is over her eyes, so she can't see who exactly is talking to her...]

Jupiter? That you? Can ya help me out of these things, having trouble telling which way is up...

Totally. *She lifts up the hat.* Like, everyone's kids this month. I'm not 'cause I was always like this.

[Oh look, there she is! Applejack is still a bit tangled up in the shirt she was wearing though...]

When Ah was a hue-min earlier, Ah was smaller, but Ah didn't think it carry over to the Dark Hour... Ah just thought my hue-min form shrunk or something.

[She shakes herself out of the clothes and looks over herself.]

So Ah guess Ah was made a kid then? Sure look like Ah did when Ah was a filly...

Yeah, it's happening to everyone. The cosmos is out of whack again.

Ah'm starting think the cosmos around here being out of whack is a normal thing...

[Applejack folds up the pile of clothes and stashes them near the hotel entrance to grab for when the Dark Hour ends. But sighs when she takes a look at herself again.]

Don't think there's much Ah can do tonight like this.

*Jupiter shakes her head and looks out.* It's happening to a load of people. All we gotta do's wait for the full moon.

Probably should get mahself inside then. Looks like Ah don't have mah cutie mark, so Ah'm not even sure Ah'd be able to call up my persona thing even...

Your Persona's like the same thing as your apples on your rear?

Well, it's like Ah've gone back to being a filly before Ah found mah special talent. So it's like Ah've gone back to before Ah got mah Persona too, right?

Deep. You might be right.

[Living on the first floor of the hotel meant you could hear stuff at any time of the day. Little 8-year old Saori rubs her eyes as she wanders into the lobby and just happens to open the door to see...a pile of clothes moving?]

Wh-what's going on?

[Not only moving, but talking as well!]

Who's there? Can ya help me here? Ah can't see a thing under all these clothes!

[Saori takes a step back at first but hesitantly goes over to pull off some of the clothes. Judging by her surprised reaction, she doesn't remember who Applejack is.]

A-A pony! A talking pony!

Of course Ah can talk! Why shouldn't Ah? Ah'm not that young now...

...Wait, Saori? That you? It's me, Applejack! You okay? Looks like you got shrunk again as well.

Applejack? You know me....but I don't...Ugh, this whole thing is too crazy.

[She shakes her head in frustration.]

You don't remember me?

...Um what's the last thing you remember?

[Applejack is getting out of the piles of clothes now.]

I was back home...Daddy hasn't come home yet and...

[She sniffles as she tries to stop herself from crying.]

[Ein usually leaves the hotel after the Dark Hour begins, so he catches Fillyjack on his way out.]

You too? This is really going around...

[Despite unable to see things, Applejack is still a friendly sort...]

Ah just thought it was mah hue-min form that shrunk... Didn't think when Ah was a pony again Ah'd be small too...

[There's some shuffling in the piles of clothes again and finally Applejack gets free.]

Oh, hiya Ein! At least you seem alright...

Yeah... There might be another outbreak soon, and everyone's suddenly getting younger? It doesn't look good...

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good thing at all...

How are we fight off shadows like this? Do you know if the ones who got younger can still use their Personas?

No, I don't know. I think the easiest way to find out might be to have you try it, but that doesn't sound like a very good idea...
