VIDEO / ACTION FOR GOLDENROD
[ Rarity is standing in front of a display of clothing. If you've spoken with her about commissions recently, you may see your item up there. ]
I'm happy to report that the Mobile Carousel Boutique is open for business! I've spent some time getting materials, constructing commissioned pieces, designing new pieces, and just generally being very busy, but I've done just about everything I can think of to prepare for the Grand Opening! If you have any specific fashion desires, do not hesitate to ask!
Oh, and there are a few people I already need to speak to, of course. Shaun? Pinkie?...
[ Rarity may be found in the streets of Goldenrod, getting new supplies, eating at an outdoor cafe, or just generally schmoozing with the social life. She belongs in the city, after all. ]

VIDEO / CIANWOOD ACTION
[ Rarity is standing in front of a large blank piece of posterboard she's procured in town. She does not look happy. In fact, she's fuming. ]
All right! I didn't think I'd have to do this, but apparently certain people here have not quite grasped the subtleties of human attire. And some of them didn't even used to be ponies! So I've put together a brief how-to guide for those of us lacking the proper education or discipline. I'll try to speak slowly so that you all can follow me.
[ She turns around the piece of cardboard. There are two large drawings on it. ]
Humans wear layers of clothing nearly all the time, to preserve certain elements of privacy and to better shape the body. Since these clothes are worn under the more colorful and expressive ones, they are called under-wear. Now, human males need only worry about a single piece of under-wear. [ She taps the left side of the board. ] This may be a pair of "briefs" or "boxers" (even though no boxes are involved, and the length of the former garment only varies slightly from the latter), and it must cover the region directly below the waist, and above the thighs.
Now, human females are an entirely different story. We also must cover the groin region with a garment known as panties, but we are also generally obligated [ here she shoots a glare at the open door in her room ] to wear THESE. [ She points at the right side of the board. ] These are called bras, and they support and conceal a part of the female anatomy which, if exposed, is very rude, frequently provocative, and most importantly, exceedingly unladylike. What's more, it provides excellent support, which is healthier for the back and more appropriate for the basic dress shape.
Now, while I understand you may do whatever you want in your own home, when you venture outside, I would highly recommend discretion, and sticking by these rules. Does everypony understand me?
Good. Now, to continue to a more interesting topic, I've prepared a series of boards that illustrate some possible combinations for human fashion. This should be rather illuminating, particularly if your basic choices are limited to --
[ FWUMP. The loud sound nearby derails Rarity's train of thought, and she falters as she begins to pick up a small stack of poster boards. She glances towards the screen. ]
Ah… do excuse me, I'll just go see what that was… I'm sure it's nothing …
[ She hurries offscreen and the feed is blank for several seconds before a loud shriek is heard: ]
RAINBOW DASH!
[ OOC: Rainbow Dash is out cold! She will be in a coma for about a week while she canon updates. Also, it may be some time before Rarity gets back to the video to respond. ]

RAINBOW DASH!
[ OOC: Rainbow Dash is out cold! She will be in a coma for about a week while she canon updates. Also, it may be some time before Rarity gets back to the video to respond. ]
[ The video feed reveals a white unicorn with curled purple hair, staring intently at the camera. A few clothes are levitating behind her, and covered in a light blue aura. Rarity's horn is emitting the same aura. She stands in her workroom, by a large window in order to better light the clothes she's displaying. ]
Whew! Well, I have been up all night, but anypony who asked me about a piece of clothing since I've been here, I've finished! It sure is useful having my magic once again.
[ That announcement done, the clothes fly away. Rarity tosses her mane and points her horn at something else just offscreen. ]
[ In the background, there's a strange, loud noise… like the rushing of wind, but Rarity seems to be too distracted to hear it. ]
Now, as for the rest of you, Johto and Kanto, you are in for quite a treat. I don't believe you've ever encountered the grace and passion that a real, live unicorn cannot help but display!
Behold… I give you…
[ With a dramatic flash, she dons a dress and matching hat she's made for herself that was hiding just offscreen. ]
[ There's a large thud, and the room shakes a little, throwing Rarity slightly off balance and knocking her new hat askew. ]
RAR… woah! [ She stumbles, saving the hat before it falls off her head entirely, and abandons her post by the video feed in favor of looking out the window. ] What in the name of all things fashion…
[ Loud, heavy thuds can be heard coming closer and closer, each one causing the room to shake. ]
[ In a deep, booming voice: ] Rarity!
[ A huge green eye outlined by purple scales appears at the window, blocking out all sunlight. ]
[ And this is how, along with Rarity's pony fashion, Johto and Kanto are introduced to Rarity's pony dulcet tones. ]
[ The eye is replaced by a large claw that attempts to tap the window, but instead, shatters it. ]
[ Rarity shrieks again at the broken glass. ] Stop! No! What are you doing? You'll ruin everything!
[ The claw is replaced with the giant eye again, looking apologetic. ]
I'm really sorry Rarity! Guess I don't know my own strength. Um… it's me, Spike?
[ Her jaw drops. ] S… Spikey-wikey? [ She shoots a look at the clothes, lying abandoned on the floor. ] Stay right where you are! Don't touch anything! [ And she gallops out of the room, inadvertently leaving the video still recording on the table. Eventually, Bell approaches and knocks it over, ending the message. ]
[ OOC: Action open for Cianwood residents who care to witness a huge embarrassed purple dragon and a furious white unicorn. ]

VIDEO / ACTION FOR CIANWOOD
[ Video clicks on to reveal a very frazzled Rarity, with unkempt hair, looking pleadingly at the camera. ]
All right, whoever is listening. I have done absolutely everything in my power to make the best of a difficult situation, but even I have my limits. So I'd like a good old fashioned group brainstorm, if you please. The situation could not be more dire.
[ She turns the camera around to reveal... a fish. Sitting in a tank. Not a particularly big fish, but... sweet Celestia, if this isn't one of the ugliest damn things you've ever seen.
The tank itself is your basic bowl shape, but it's got all manner of plants and tiny dwellings inside. Sitting next to the tank are some sopping wet miniature clothes that look like at least some decent effort have been put into them. ]
This little darling is in desperate need of a makeover, and... well, I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss. Has anypony got any ideas for how to make him look absolutely ravishing? Or... well, at least suitably impressive! ... For a fish.
[ OOC: Please do not reveal the nature of the Feebas's evolution to Rarity! ]

Is this... ah, there we are. [ The video turns on to reveal a very frazzled-looking young lady with purple hair. ] Can anypony hear me? Twilight, Rainbow Dash? Rainbow, if this is one of your and Pinkie's pranks, you've gone too far this time! It's bad enough I'm some sort of monkey, but this!
[ She displays her bare forehead. ]
This is the absolute limit!! How am I supposed to be a unicorn without a horn? Can I even call myself a unicorn, anymore? Shall I forever and henceforth be known as Rarity the nonicorn? Is that even a word?
Will somepony please tell me what is going on??
