You know, I read up on the Duck when I first accessed it, and I still get annoyed that it's hijacking my browser.

So hi, I'm Sunset Shimmer. I'm a 17 year old Gunpla Builder and Fighter in Equestrian City, USA. On the midwest actually. Closer to Seattle than LA though.

Ask me questions? I can answer a lot.

Is that your actual name? Are your parents hippies?

[shimmer_on]

No, my parents aren't hippies. It's just a common naming scheme here in my home.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I have a normal name, but it's cute. I'm Sawatari Makoto.

[shimmer_on]

Hey, I like my name just fine.

You can call me Sunset.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu! [Jumps back. See, this is why new people are scary.]

...You build gunpla? Is it fun?

[shimmer_on]

Yeah, I like it. I also play Gunpla Battle.

[Or at least, she usually does. Still holds back a lot though.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

You can make them fight in your guys's world?

[shimmer_on]

With the Gunpla Battle system yeah, made by Yajima Trading.

[yes_im_kawaii]

That sounds fun, why doesn't every world have that.

[shimmer_on]

Doesn't your world have Gundam though? You could always build a model and bring it over.

[yes_im_kawaii]

But would it move on its own and stuff?

[shimmer_on]

I don't see why not. It animates plastic after all.

[yes_im_kawaii]

How's that even work, though?

[shimmer_on]

Plavasky Particles. It's a technology I can't begin to understand, but it's in use all over the world.

[yes_im_kawaii]

So it's a thing only your world has? Like how no one else has ever heard of enetron?

[shimmer_on]

Enetron? No, sorry, I haven't heard about that. And yeah, Plavasky Particles are unique to my world.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. No one else's world is normal.

[shimmer_on]

Mine IS pretty normal. If you discount the whole "possibly alien prince" part of our world.

[yes_im_kawaii]

How does that work? Usually, you know whether there is one or not.

[shimmer_on]

It's only a rumor, but some people have said Reiji, one of the competitors five years ago in the world tournament was from a place called Arlean. We haven't seen him or Aila for years.

[yes_im_kawaii]

So he might be a prince from space but he might just be a normal guy who ran away for cheating on his taxes?

[shimmer_on]

I honestly don't really have an answer for that... to be honest.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Okay. That sounds confusing, but there's lots of confusing stuff in our world, too.

[shimmer_on]

Yeah, well, Plavasky Particles are confusing.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Science is hard. But I'm trying! I made a cannon that shoots out chicken!

[shimmer_on]

A... chicken cannon? Like, live chickens?

[yes_im_kawaii]

No, dead ones from the store. It's useful!

[shimmer_on]

You mean frozen ones then?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Or thawed ones. Frozen ones break windows and I get lectured.

[shimmer_on]

Yeah that would do it. It's like a giant potato launcher then.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Only world-saving. ...Probably. Someday.

[shimmer_on]

World saving huh? Nice.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Yeah! My family is the greatest. We do everything that looks fun! But also a bunch of work.

[shimmer_on]

The paperwork alone for saving the world... how does that even work?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I dunno, but Nekotari tracked mud all over it today.

[shimmer_on]

Huh, your cat? They do that.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Do you have pets too?

[shimmer_on]

No, but my friend Fluttershy volunteers at the local pet store and grooming center.
