Drabble Kaboom!

"Old Crusaders and New Princesses" 1 dollar drabble commission

In Friendship Crystal Castle three elderly ponies sat at the round table with the Alicorn Princesses of Honesty, Loyalty, and Generosity. The others were off helping Dragon Lord Ember put down a coup by self-proclaimed 'Dragon Empress' Alexandria.

Tea and cider were set up for the ladies and the 'fun lovers'.

"So Apple Bloom, how are ya doin' on ascendin'? Ya'd make a great Princess of Invention Ah think!" Applejack grinned, here she didn't have to be Princess Veritas.

"How about you Sweetie? We could use a princess of singing!" Rarity said excitedly.

"And what about you Scoots?" Rainbow Dash grinned.

"Ah'm gonna be uploadin' mah mind into an android body," Apple Bloom said simply.

"Oh," Applejack said awkwardly. "But how will ya taste pies?"

"Oh I'm building an android with taste buds too!"

"Oh."

"I'm preparing the ritual to become a lich!" Sweetie said with an excited smile.

"But aren't all lichs evil?" Rarity asked.

Sweetie gasped. "Rarity, what a prejudice thing to say!"

"Oh, quiet right Sweetie, I apologize."

"I'm with Gilda," Scootaloo said. "Immortality is a sucker's game. I'm looking forward to retirement in the afterlife, thank you very much. I'll tell her you said hi Dash."

"Thanks Scoots," Rainbow Dash said hugging her adopted daughter.

"So you're not mad?" Sweetie asked.

"It's different, but I know you'll make me proud, after all, you always have," Rarity nuzzled her.

Sweetie gasped. "Rarity, what a prejudice thing to say!"

Later...

"Well..." Books and e-readers orbited Twilight like a star's asteroid belt. "Past trials do seem to indicate that transferring your soul to an unliving, unfeeling phylactery has some adverse effects on your psyche, especially in the long term as mortal ambitions and bonds feel increasingly irrelevant. Of course, the so-called 'demilich' hypothesis is based on the assumption that all souls will eventually long for death, and we're eternally living proof that that isn't the case.

"There could be a correlation without causation here. Most liches throughout history were already antisocial loners who forsook interpersonal bonds for power, and who sought undeath just to hold on to that power for eternity. Sweetie's reasons are pretty much unprecedented."

Rarity had learned much over the decades—one couldn't help it when knowing Twilight for that long—but she felt no more enlightened than the first time Twilight discussed the finer points of arcane radicals during a dress fitting. "Could you summarize, darling?"

Twilight smiled, the research material flying back to its proper spots. "Put simply, keep being her friend and she won't have any reason to turn evil."

Rarity returned the grin and nodded. "That much I think we can all manage."

Feel free to throw it in! And yeah, right now we're only at "comment fic" levels of recursion. It'd take a few more responses to hit full-on roleplay.
