[and then when she's done, gets up with this face]

Celestia, you never told me you could do something that cool. [accuse accuse] As your captain I say you should talk like that all the time! [nod!]

[letteropener]

'TIS MERELY THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE, LUFFY! THE PREFERRED MEANS OF ADDRESS FOR ROYALTY!

[Hopefully he can grab onto something and not get blown away...]

[allendsmeat]

[does grab onto something and laughs as he flaps in the breeze a bit]

I wanna do it! Na! Teach me!

[letteropener]

IT IS THE SIMPLEST OF AFFAIRS TO SPEAK THUSLY!

[She motions him over to sit by her, then lifts a hoof to her chest.]

Thou must PROJECT thy voice. 'Tis not a mere issue of volume! Volume alone shall not bring thy words to a crowd of ponies several thousand strong. Thou must speak so that the very air itself reverberates with thy words! Begin by gathering the full might of your chest and throat into thy voice, and placing it behind all you speak.

[cry_brady]

[Oh. My. Gods.]

KNOCK THAT OFF! My ears are gunna bleed!

[letteropener]

Though we mean no offense in speaking thus, we might suggest that if thou had properly seated and manipulable ears rather than the immobile protuberances humans pretend offer adequate aural capability, thou wouldst have no trouble with the Royal Canterlot Voice!

[cry_brady]

[... was. was that english.]

I don't care if you're royal caterer, keep it down! There ain't any reason to shout like that!

[voice]

[rebellions]

[Wow complicated words. Ragna's never been good with those. "Pernicious"? What does that even mean? Oh, like that matters─]

I DON'T REALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT HAVE A NICE DAY, TOO!

[... yes he's yelling back at the journal. Not nearly as loud as the original, but he tries.]

Mares Code!

[elementofcupcakes]

[Pinkie is muzzled and locked in a cell, and Celestia is acting as if everything is honky dory!

Well, she has some angry words for her!! In the form of well organized hoof stomps and scuffs against the ground!!

THIS DAY ISN'T FINDING ME WELL, PRINCESS! GET US OUT!]

[letteropener]

We TOLD you, 'tis tradition! We consider many of you in a proprietary fashion similar to Our royal subjects, and thus do you the courtesy of this mode of address!

[letteropener]

PINKIE PIE! THY COMMUNICATION IS WELCOMED AND UNDERSTOOD! REST ASSURED THAT THY RECOVERY REMAINS A PRIORITY! CAN THOU COMMUNICATE THY LOCATION UNTO US?!

[voice]

[letteropener]

WE THANK THEE MOST WARMLY! OUR INQUIRY IS TO THY WELL-BEING AFTER THE RECENT OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE? BE THOU UNINJURED?

[elementofcupcakes]

[WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO LOUDLY?! YOU'RE NOT PRINCESS LUNA!]

[letteropener]

'TIS TRADITION TO ADDRESS OUR SUBJECTS WITH THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE! ART THOU COMPLAINING? THOU ART NOT PARTICULARLY QUIET NOR SUBDUED THYSELF, AND THIS IS FAIN CONSIDERED THY CHARM!

[elementofcupcakes]

.....

[WHAT]

[letteropener]

IS THY EXUBERANCE NOT THY STRONG POINT? ART THOU NOT ELEMENT OF LAUGHTER? DOST THOU NOT OCCASIONALLY BREAK INTO SONGS OF QUESTIONABLE APPROPRIATENESS GIVEN THEIR TIMING? AND FOR SUCH THINGS THOU'RE BELOVED!

[elementofcupcakes]

[BECAUSE I'M TRAPPED IN A CELL BY THE STUPID NAVY! THAT'S NOTHING TO SING ABOUT!

Starting to lose respect for Celestia right now.]

[letteropener]

WE DID NOT MEAN AT THIS VERY SECOND, BUT IN GENERAL!

DOST THOU NOT KNOW THY LOCATION? WE ARE SEARCHING FOR THEE!

[elementofcupcakes]

[WE'RE JUST IN SOME CELL WITH BARS! KYOUYA IS HERE, TOO!]

[letteropener]

WERE THOU INCAPACITATED WHILE IN TRANSPORT? CANST THOU HEAR AUGHT OF INTEREST?

[elementofcupcakes]

[WHAT'S AUGHT?]

[letteropener]

ANYTHING!

[elementofcupcakes]

[I CAN HEAR TALKING!]

[letteropener]

...Perhaps we would be well advised to somewhat mitigate the volume of the Royal Canterlot Voice. Canst thou make out words?
