Who: Everyone!
What: Pinkie Pie's Kinda-Annual Super Special Friendship Jamboree #1!
When: Friday evening until Saturday night
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: Come celebrate a night with the Ancient Roans, an old pony culture who wore togas, worshiped goddesses with funny names, and had entertainment in a giant coliseum. The Battle Dome will become a Roman-themed bath house on Friday, and a coliseum on Saturday for fights and further entertainment. Togas are required. If you do not have one, one will be provided for you.
Rating: PG? PG-13? P stands for Party, right?

Well everybody it's that moment you've been hearing about all month. All the excitement and enthusiasm all culminates in this evening. From early in the morning, Pinkie Pie and her band of friends have been hard at work setting up this magnificent display. The events for the party are as follows:

Friday
Morning: Pinkie and friends will be booting everyone out of the Battle Dome to begin setting up. This includes hanging decorations, setting up music, finishing up the food, and figuring out how this crazy hologram thingy works. Hilarity abounds.

Afternoon-Evening: The festivities begin! The music is pumping, the food is hot, and the baths are even hotter. The dance floor is wide open if you feel like cutting a rug, or maybe you'd be more interested in grabbing a hot turkey leg, or a slice of the multitude of cakes and pies provided? Party games are strewn about the dome as well, so have at it! Adele and Marceline will both be performing music in the evening, and if you (or the alcohol inside you) feel you have some musical talent to share, you are more than welcome to come on stage.

Night: Things start to wind down late into the night. The bath house is still open for anyone who wants to take a dip and relax. Pinkie will be making her rounds to check up on anyone who hasn't stumbled back home yet. You don't want to end up falling asleep in a tub of hot water, do you?

Saturday
Afternoon-Evening: The bath house is now gone, replaced instead with a Roan Coliseum. Food and drink is still provided, and is just as plentiful and varied as it was the day before. Now, guests are welcome to step into the coliseum for fights and entertainment. Now's your chance to fight for glory and respect. Will you dedicate your victory to the goddess Fluttershy? Or maybe attempt to win a favor from the Pink Caesar? Whatever you choose, be sure to make it entertaining. Challengers may choose to fight each other, or against classic Roman stand-ins, such as gladiators and lions. Rainbow Dash will be serving as referee for all fights.

Night: The Jamboree comes to a close with a fireworks display to celebrate everyone who attended, and the friendship made or reinforced during the time spent here. By all means, take as much food or drink as you want back home with you, and keep the togas as a reminder of all the fun you had this night. Once again, Pinkie will be around to make sure everyone gets home safely.

[she watches this with raised eyebrows, wondering if he is trying to drown himself]

Do you enjoy it?

I... ih, it...

[He looks into the water.] N... n-not until... s... soon before I... I came... here.

It's a pity that you had to leave then. Good times are hard to come by. [She smiles lightly] Perhaps you'll return home soon, ne?

[He nods in agreement... good times were especially hard to come by for a Beast.

Though it has been better since he came here, even if it isn't home. It is difficult to choose one over the other sometimes.]

Maybe... maybe I will.

[She waits for a moment before adding]

I'm a pirate. [Since she did promise] And we are rather notorious. [Though for all the wrong reasons. Or, perhaps, all the right ones]

[His head perks up.] A... pirate? [It sounds annoyingly familiar, as if he had heard about them years ago and just can't quite remember what they are.]

Yes. Why? Does that make you nervous? [She sounds mildly curious]

I... n-no! [He shakes his head vigourously and straightens up. Should he be nervous?] What... wh-what... is a pirate?

[She'll give him a glance at that. Odd that he wouldn't know as she was fairly sure there are pirates on Earth. But sometimes people are strange in what they pick up and what they don't.]

Well, the answer to that really depends on who you ask. Though I suppose the official explanation is something equivalent to bandits on the sea.

Bandits?! [A small splash is made from his shock. He is beginning to remember something he heard that fit that explanation, and he is having trouble believing that Robin really is that.] Y-you mean... like thieves?

Officially. And its true there are many pirates who are thieves. But not all of them are.

Hm... [His eyes narrow a little.] Are.. you a thief?

What do you think?

[He leans ever so slightly to examine her face more closely. He'd like to think she's not... but then the last time he saw her, they trespassed into some empty building. Maybe that's... different.

Finally, he says, cautiously:] ... I'm not sure.

That is a problem. You can never tell who people really are just by looking at them. A thief can be a good man and a saint can crush people to bones under their heels.

[she shrugs lightly]

[He still looks at her suspiciously... what she says makes it even more difficult to figure out. But then... he also knows very well what she means.]

What... did you do, then? Wh-when you were a... pirate?

Oh I still am. [she slides further into the water resting one leg over the other so you might see the tip of her foot] I look for ancient cities, lost runes, history. We go on adventures. Occasionally fight zombies or marines, declare war on oppressive governments. The usual thing.

[... He does notice the toe but he's pretending to ignore it. What she's saying is interesting, after all. At least it sounds like she is indeed the... "good" kind of pirate, which relieves him.] What... wh-what are... zom-bies?

[She slowly raises her head to look at you and says in a low voice]

People who rise from the dead due to dark magic. [She smiles]

Sounds fun, ne?

R-rise from the... dead...? [Ugh. He didn't think that could be possible. His disgust is clearly showing on his face.]

I-ih... i-is it?

Mmm. It's thrilling. An adventure. To risk your life confronting these creatures who would tear you apart. [She puts a hand to her cheek]

Though in reality they are actually quite stupid.

Oh. [He guesses he could look at fighting something that way. He never quite saw the thrill in it... but then again he always fought for survival. It still makes her... very interesting.]

So... th-they're easy to... fight?

Easy to fight, but not to kill as they are already dead. It is a bit of an endless battle and if you slip up only once it could be devastating. [And she sounds faintly amused by this]

Oh... [He is not quite sure what to think of her tone, since that sounds more frustrating than amusing.] ... I see.
