Cosmic Eclipse as Cosmic Eclipse.
Snow Heart
Snow Heart was sitting calmly in a quiet forest, not the Everfree forest, just a regular forest. She had decided it would be a good spot for a quiet pincic for her and her little sister Frost. Frost Heart had already went off to look for firewood for the campfire later, so Snow Heart was currently alone. Though she felt herself shiver, like she felt some pony familiar.
Cosmic Eclipse
A dark blue bat pony trotted along through the forest, humming a happy tune to himself as he went along. As he continued down the worn path he paused, smiling as he spotted an old friend "I didn't expect to see anypony else out here, let alone an old friend no less. Out on a little afternoon getaway?"
Snow Heart
"Hey there!" Snow smiled eagerly noticing him, she jumped up and embraced her old friend. "Yeah decided Frost and I needed to have a good pincic, just us. No Princess stuff, no popularity stuff. No ponies trying to touch my bat wings. You know how it is. Not that many bat alicorn's out there. So what brings you here?"
Cosmic Eclipse
"Just taking a walk through the forest, I like to come by here sometimes. Not many ponies find their way out here, it's peaceful and calm- the perfect place to reflect."
Snow Heart
"Exactly!" Snow smiled, letting go of him. "So tell me Zero, what got you into mlp?" she asked breaking the fourth wall, her sister was probably going to be gone for some time, so she had time to learn more about her friend.
Cosmic Eclipse
The bat pony stared back in confusion for a moment before something about his reality seemed to click and make sense "Well that's a good question. To put it best, I got into it shortly before Generation 4, after some friends had started talking about it. I did some digging, watched a few episodes, and the rest was history. Though I didn't really start to interact with the larger community until a couple of years ago."
Snow Heart.
"Oh I see. Very interesting. So who's your favorite pony? And don't say me, I don't count here!" she giggled jabbing him in the side playfully. She enjoyed hanging around other threstrals, she didn't get to see them much, and she and him had good history.
Cosmic Eclipse
The stallion laughed "Well that's another great question. My favorite pony would have to be Luna. Why? I honestly can't give a specific reason, I just love the night and everything about it and she captures that perfectly."
Snow Heart
"Luna is great, though I'm clearly best Princess but I said I didn't count. So yeah Princess Luna is great. I am a fan of Rainbow Dash, she's not a princess, I can just imagine she'd be quite something if she ever got a horn. Best that not happen. Her ego is big enough already. It is really good to see you though. Would you like to join me and Frost for a night of smores and spooky stories?"
Cosmic Eclipse
The bat pony laughed and nodded "Of course, you're always be the best. Rainbow Dash would be a close second for me, she's definitely one of my favorites," He paused for a moment, "Now, smores and spooky stories you say? Count me in!"
Snow Heart
"Awesome. Glad to have you. I wonder what's taking Frost so long. I hope she didn't get lost out here. So I guess we should get started huh? What inspires you to write?" she asked curiously.
Cosmic Eclipse
"It's easy to get sidetracked out here. I do it all the time and I'm sure she'll be back soon. So what inspires me to write? Well that's a lot of things and a hard question to answer. I guess the main thing above all else is that I love telling my characters' stories and exploring the world they live in. Recently I've been trying to write more stories that are shorter and pull from a variety of different genres and a lot of that inspiration comes from the movies and stories I've seen and read in the past."
Snow Heart
"Inspiration can indeed come from a number of different places. I'm glad to hear you are doing well though. It seems like I'm always having to look over my shoulder for fans that come out of the woods. It's nice to actually spend some time with my sister and not worry about any of that." Snow Heart smiled as she sat down, and patted the spot beside her. "So...Zero anything you'd like to tell them about the real you? It's totally up to you though."
Cosmic Eclipse
The stallion smiled, “You know, not a whole I really can say. I’m a complete dork for theme parks but aside from that I like to think that I’m a pretty boring guy in real life. My two main hobbies are graphic design and writing. Writing is probably my favorite hobby just because it doesn’t feel like something I already do for a living, and really lets me drop out of the real world for a bit and just immerse myself with my stories and characters.”
Snow Heart
"Hey nothing wrong with that! Do you know how long I admired a guy because I originally admired his writing style? You'd be surprised. But that's not important right now. Right now it's important that we're both here, together." she smiled as she looped an arm around him, and petted his mane.*
"Is there any story that has inspired you to write, and it doesn't have to be mlp."
Cosmic Eclipse
“You know, that’s another very hard question. I don’t know if I can say I have a specific story in mind, but when I was a kid I loved to read Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Those kinds of stories really contributed towards me wanting to write, and when I was in high school I actually tried writing my own original stuff, though that didn’t really go anywhere. I couldn’t say that there’s specific influence in my writing from it, but it definitely gave me a love for reading, and eventually writing. There’s not a whole lot that inspired my MLP writing, but one of the authors you interviewed in the past, Halira, had a story set in the pandemic universe that definitely inspired me to write my own. “
Snow Heart
"Oh? That's really neat. Yes she was quite the darling to interview. Wait we're supposed to be in character. Ssssshhhh!" she teased him, letting go and looking to the horizon. "I guess there's only one more thing to ask you, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Cosmic Eclipse
“Not a whole lot I can really think to say aside from the obligatory check out my stories,” he laughed, “Thanks for sitting down and chatting though, it was a blast.
Snow Heart and Frost Heart
"Hey Snow I finally got the firewood. I got distracted. Oh who's this cutie? Don't tell me you actually have a bf..." Frost Heart teased.
"This is a good friend of mine, his name is Zero, and we're just friends Frost. I don't you, I don't need somepony special."
"Pfft. One of these days Snow, a stallion will come and sweep you right off your hooves. So Zero huh? Quite the cutie if I do say so myself. You going to join our campfire? I have the best ghost stories around."
