Illuminati? · 9:29pm
Celestia folded her wings carefully, as she trotted into the gondola. Even after the whole day of travelling in it and seeing it in the sky, she still felt a pang of childish glee whenever she thought about the Skycastle. First operational equestrian airship in almost eight hundred years. Luna still had her touch and then some. Humongous construct could easily rival Canterlot castle in size, yet floated in the sky like a feather. And she was especially glad it would never be used for it`s initial role.
Bridge was empty, save for Luna herself. Celestia trotted in, closing the door behind her securely - "Well, that`s it, sister." Luna perked up - "Oh. Hey, sis. No need for artillery, huh?" She sniffed air, her face slowly splitting in a wide grin - "Is that... did they invented...." Celestia chuckled, producing a wooden box out of her mane. She floated it to Luna, who pulled off a lid excitedly and peered in. "YAY!" "Need a light, sis?" - even though she knew the answer, Celestia liked to tease Luna from time to time. She needed not to bother, for Luna had already pulled a cigar out of the box, lit it and was puffing on it happily. "...Sis, you`re the greatest." - she opined finally, - "Mixed with coffee leaves, too? Our little ponies.. growing up so fast."
Celestia shook her head and chuckled - "You and your little vices." Blue alicorn growled playfully - "Come on, you`ll enjoy those as much as I will!" White one shook her head bemusedly - "You know what?... I think I will, too." She levitated one out of the box, sharp flash of heat illuminating it`s tip for a second, just before she took a drag - "Aaah, yes... I will. Though, Luna? I`d like to insist on keeping that private. If they`ll see either of us smoking, they`re all going to start doing that."
Luna bristled slightly, her wings fluffing - "I understand." She paused, breathing out a small cloud of smoke, - "I`m excited, Celestia. Reintroduction of industry... I can`t wait to get building." White alicorn chuckled - "All via loyal apprentices, of course?" "Apprentices? Why?" - Luna`s brow was quirked. Sighing, Celestia continued - "Yes, apprentices. They will need to be trained, but we should not effect things directly. We are to influence. Suggest. Insinuate. They shall discover things on their own."
Luna shook her head - "The world must know by now, sister. What we`ve done." "Know what? Only that the long dream is at end. As we wake up, all sins are forgiven... Even yours." - interjected sun goddess. "What about Skycastle? And the chaos engine?" - exclaimed Luna worriedly. "Do you really think they`re ready for that? After everything you`ve seen? Everything you`ve done?" - Celestia asked wearily. Goddess of the moon stared on the floor, her head lowered. "...No. Not yet." - she finally answered, bitterly.
"But soon. I have made my own mistakes, became insulated from the world I sought to control, and whatever they may think, the darkness is far from over. But that will change, and you will help me change even as I teach you. This time - this time we will do it right." - offered Celestia, her voice firm with hope. Luna offered her a small smile -"And... who are we, sis? Who are we, really?"
"We are the invisible touch. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after, we are forever. And eventually... Eventually we will lead them into the light."

You... uh, you might want to practice more.
Properly, your sentence would be this...
"Я не знал, что вы женщина. Вы пишете как мужчина."
женщина vs жена - first word means simply "woman". Second means "wife". It could be used sometimes to mean "woman", but that much usually pertains to poetic and/or archaic texts.
пишете vs писаете - what you used is not the correct form of the verb "писать". It becomes like this - "Я пишу, вы пишете, они пишут". As for what you used... it means "to pee".
мужчина vs муж - same deal as with woman. You used word that means husband, instead of man.
Я не знал вы жена. Вы пиcаете как муж.
I did not know you are a woman. You write like a man.
Forgive me, for I have only studied Russian for two semesters. Я практикую часто.

Glad I could help.
Hello Cytotoxin! I hope you are well! I just wanted to thank you again for your help on my story idea from several weeks ago, and I wanted to let you know I've credited you for your help in the development!
Have a Happy New Year!

I think I`ll pass.
I've changed a bit of my story again.
Now I know I didnt change a lot, mostly because I have a lot of pride in my work and can't really see any better way to put it (even with the one you gave me that you wrote)
but if you would read through it again i would really appreciate it

Null sweat, chummer.
Hey, thanks to the discussion we had about the idea I posted on the group forum's I was able to improve it and it apparently even got to the featured box (wtf)... So thanks for that :)
Pity. You're a concritter, and an entertainin' one at that, but you've nowhere near the number of followers you oughtta have.
Following, because, fuck it all, I have a damned hard time findin' concritters on this site, and you're amusing.
Not a pussy about things, either.
