Third Dispatch. I have Advice. Written.

[trinkett]

Dear Luceti,

My efforts to gain notice by the Malnosso Organization for my considerable human resources skills have not been enough, I fear.

To this end, I shall be offering my services free of charge: Effie's Advisements. No problem is too large or too small! We shall overcome -- together.

Most Sincerely,

Effie.

If it helps, I think unicorns FRIGHTFULLY difficult to understand! [She says this in a very consoling tone of voice.] For example, how do you exist at all?!

[fourthgenerationprincess]

The same way humans exist. [ She waves a hoof dismissively. ] There's always been unicorns in Equestria, as long as there have been earth ponies and pegasi. That's not really the same thing, though. You all just hurt each other so much!

[trinkett]

I've heard you can be hunted for your magical horns?

[Maybe Katniss will hunt one for her. A magical horn would make an excellent addition to the living room. It would look striking beside Sharpe's Eagle.]

What?! You would- I've never heard of someone hunting a pony before! I -

[ There are no words. ]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Well, actually, there are just seven more. ]

Stay away from me and my friends!

[trinkett]

I WILL, I WILL, dear unicorn! I don't hunt unicorns for horns! It's only something I've HEARD of.

[Another thought occurs:]

They're meant to have powers to restore youth, are they not?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

I can't do an age spell, it's too powerful even for me. But I definitely couldn't do it without my horn. A magic doesn't just come from a unicorn's horn, it comes from deeper inside them than that.

The heart, perhaps?
