Character Roleplay Meme: Dusk and Cacophony

I wasn't tagged by anyone to do this, but I read Eakin's and thought it might jog some creative juices if I tried it myself.

WHO ARE YOU? AGE/RACE

Dusk: My Name’s Dusk Shine. I’m 8 years old, and the son of Shining Armor and the late Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. I’m a unicorn. Dad told me that my name is kind of a Sparkle family tradition. I mean, Great Grandma was named Twilight, and so was Grandma, and then there’s Auntie Twilight, and my mom thought it would be cute to keep the tradition going.

Cacophony: But you’re not named Twilight…

Dusk: No, they were expecting me to be a… a… *sighs*

Cacophony: Just say it.

Dusk: A filly, okay? For some reason they thought I was going to be a filly. I guess Dusk is supposed to be a more stallion-y form of Twilight.

Cacophony: “Stallion-y?” You mean more masculine?

Dusk: …

NOW WHO’S YOUR LOVER? WHAT’S HER AGE/RACE?

Cacophony: Lover? Ew… gross. That’s like… ew…

Dusk: Seriously? We’re only eight years old, here. Eight. Years. Old.

Cacophony: I can’t possibly imagine doing… that… with Dusk. I mean, he’s totally the coolest colt I know, but still… ew…

Dusk: Plus you eat bugs. I wouldn’t want to taste that. Ever.

Cacophony: I do no—oh, wait. Yeah, I do. I mean, come on, they’re a sustainable, efficient, and tasty source of protein. I’m surprised they haven’t caught on yet.

Dusk: Normal ponies don’t eat bugs, Coco.

Cacophony: I’m just as normal as you, Shiny. You’re the son of a Celestial guard, and I’m the daughter of a Lunar guard.

Dusk: *snorts* Batpony.

Cacophony: Tribalist.

OKAY, OKAY, MOVING ON… WHAT MAKES YOUR LOVER SPECIAL?

Dusk: Could you stop calling her that, please?

Cacophony: It is rather creepy.

Dusk: I guess what makes her special, besides the bug-eating, is some of the cool stuff she’s into, like Floydian Slip’s “Dark Side of Luna,” and Zebrican magic. This one time, she tried to teleport her favorite doll—

Cacophony: I thought we were never going to speak of that again.

Dusk: You still haven’t found her head yet, I take it?

Cacophony: *wipes away a tear and raises a hoof to the sky* Poor Princess Plushie… I will avenge you!

Dusk: Coco’s also the only filly I know who plays Oubliettes and Ogres.

Cacophony: *huffs* Other fillies don’t appreciate the wonders of being an eleventh level half pixie, half urd bard.

HAVE YOU EVER DOUBTED YOUR LO—I MEAN FRIEND?

Dusk: You mean apart from the time she wanted to use her creepy voodoo magic to teleport me to Manehattan?

Cacophony: *crosses her forehooves* Desperate times called for desperate measures.

Dusk: *rolls eyes* Forgive me for not wanting to end up like Princess Plu—

Cacophony: Do NOT take her name in vain, Dusk Shine. She sacrificed herself for the sake of true knowledge and understanding.

Dusk: Riiiiight…

Cacophony: And it’s not creepy voodoo, either. It’s no worse than your Aunt teleporting herself everywhere.

Dusk: She doesn’t do it all the time.

Cacophony: *with a hint of righteous indignation* Neither does my mentor. Neither will I once I’ve mastered the art, for that matter.

DID YOU EVER USE PICKUP LINES ON YOUR… FRIEND? IF SO, WHICH ONES?

Dusk: Pickup lines?

Cacophony: I think that’s supposed to be something like “Hey, sweet flank, come here often?”

Dusk: Why would you ever ask me something like that?

Cacophony: I dunno. It’s something adults do a lot.

Dusk: Well, when we first met, you kind of said something similar...

Cacophony: I asked if you were new to Seaddle.

Dusk: Isn’t that kind of a pickup line?

Cacophony: Only if I was trying to pick you up, which I totally wasn’t. You just seemed… lonely.

Dusk: That’s because I didn’t know anyone here yet.

Cacophony: Of course you didn’t, duh. You just moved here, but I didn’t know that until I asked you.

Dusk: Why else would I… oh, never mind.

WHAT’S THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT YOU’VE HAD?

Dusk: It wasn’t really us together…

Cacophony: After I helped him get to Manehattan via more conventional means…

Dusk: Our parents found out.

Cacophony: Well, your dad found out. Then he called my Zeyde…

Dusk: That’s what she calls her grandfather.

Cacophony: …and they all made me tell them where Dusk went, and I was grounded for a long time.

Dusk: So was I.

Cacophony: Not nearly as long as I was. Your dad went easy on you because our plan worked out for everypony in the end.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN WAITING UNTIL AFTER MARRIAGE TO HAVE SEX?

Dusk: *looks at Cacophony with wide eyes*

Cacophony: *expression of abject terror*

Dusk: Yep.

Cacophony: Absotively, posilutely.

Both: Next question, please!

DO YOU HAVE ANY DESIRES YOU’D LIKE TO TRY WITH YOUR FRIEND? IF SO, WHAT?

Cacophony: That’s an easy one. I keep telling him that I need to test the teleportation spell on a living subject this time, and—

Dusk: I don’t think that’s what the question was referring to.

Cacophony: Kurt on a cracker, this questionnaire has a one-track mind…

Dusk: Look, you want me to say it? Then fine. I might… just a little bit, mind you, wonder what would happen if I tried just once to… kiss her. There, are you happy now?

Cacophony: I can tell you right now what would happen. I’d buck you right in your family jewels for getting your cooties on me.

Dusk: I don’t have cooties!

Cacophony: All colts have cooties. You won’t grow out of them until you’re… hmm. What age did Zeyde say it was again? I think it’s thirty or so.

Dusk: That doesn’t make sense. My dad’s in his thirties and he married mom when he was way younger.

Cacophony: Your mom was the Princess of Love. Love trumps cooties.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR FRIEND’S WEAK SPOT? DO THEY KNOW YOURS?

Dusk: Cacophony cries at sappy movies.

Cacophony: So I’m a romantic. Just because I like O & O doesn’t mean I can’t also enjoy “When Hairy met Sandy” or “A Fair to Forget.”

Dusk: All I can say is that you’ll never see me crying at something lame like that.

Cacophony: *glares*

Dusk: Now, I don’t have a weak spot, so there’s no point in—

Cacophony: *laughs like a hyena*

Dusk: *cringes* Don’t DO that. You sound like my dad’s ex-fillyfriend.

Cacophony: *smugly* Yep. No weak spot whatsoever.

Dusk: You’re lucky that you never met her.

Cacophony: I did, actually. Remember the grand interrogation session during the Manehattan fiasco?

Dusk: Oh, yeah, I forgot she was there for that.

Cacophony: She was actually kind of nice, I thought.

Dusk: *grumbles* Then maybe you should have married her.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FIND YOUR FRIEND WITH ANOTHER MARE/STALLION? HOW WOULD YOU INTERPRET THAT? FAMILIAR? FRIEND? CHEATING?

Dusk: I don’t care if she hangs out with other fillies. She can go do girly stuff whenever she wants.

Cacophony: I think they mean if I were to start hanging around with a different colt… like, say… a handsome sea pony prince.

Dusk: Ah, so you’re talking about an imaginary friend, then?

Cacophony: *sticks tongue out at Dusk*

ANY FANTASIES WITH YOUR FRIEND? PERVY ANSWERS ALLOWED.

Dusk: Well, like I said earlier, we do play a lot of O & O. The whole game’s noting but fantasy.

Cacophony: My favorite time was playing the Archepelago of Angst.

Dusk: Which time? I mean, we’ve done that board to death.

Cacophony: All of them. Although if I had to pick just one, I’d say the time we mapped it out square by square. I must have gained two levels in just that one session.

EVER HAD FIGHTS?

Dusk: We fight all the time.

Cacophony: We do not.

Dusk: Do so.

Cacophony: Do not. It’s not possible to fight all the time.

Dusk: Do you always have to take everything I say so literally?

Cacophony: Why do you always have to use absolutes like “always?”

Dusk: See? This is what I mean.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FRIEND’S FAMILY? DO YOU KNOW THEM?

Dusk: I don’t think I’ve met any of Cacophony’s relatives yet.

Cacophony: Captain Armor is nice. I never met Dusk’s birth mom, but I really like his stepmom, so the whole Manehattan project was worth it in the long run.

Dusk: Setting my dad and Sunset Shimmer up was a “project?”

Cacophony: Of course. We had to get your dad from Seaddle together with Sunset Shimmer, who was living in Baltimare at the time. What would you call it?

Dusk: If I hadn’t been in the middle of it, I’d call it one of your sappy romance flicks.

Cacophony: Hey, it worked, didn’t it? Or would you rather your dad marry you-know-who?

Dusk: Point taken, moving on…

SPEAKING OF FAMILIES, DO YOU WANT TO START ONE TOGETHER?

Dusk: Hello? Eight years old, remember?

Cacophony: I’m starting to think that this questionnaire wasn’t meant for ponies our age, Shiny.

WE’RE FINISHED. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?

Dusk: I dunno. What do you want to do, Coco?

Cacophony: I’m kinda hungry, actually.

Dusk: Ah. Thinking of heating up some Prench Flies?

Cacophony: Don’t knock ‘em until you’ve tried ‘em doubled, covered, and smothered.

Dusk: I’ll take your word for it.

Cacophony: Actually, a pizza sounds nice right about now.

Dusk: I… yeah, you’re right. That does sound like a good idea. Sat, d’ya think my dad will bring us to Two Stallions from Bitaly?

Cacophony: Ick. Two Stallions is awful. I was thinking Mama Loo’s.

Dusk: Fine, but at least we can agree on the toppings, though, right?

Cacophony: Anything but broccoli?

Dusk: You read my mind.

Is Cacophony based off of this Cacophony? Because he/she really doesn't act like him. How did you make the picture, anyway?
