(Kay. I’m up, I’ve completed everything I needed to do first, I’m ready to get going.)
Bodyguard Mare: Shakes hooves timidly. I’m Textile Stitch. Worked in sewing factory under the late Comrade Vladimir Leadin. Escape to exile with Comrade Trot-ski along with many others when Starlight seized power. Trot-ski understands exceptionalism needed for Communism to work: best at task should work at task, and Cutie Marks determine best at task. Better seamstress than fighter, but Comrade Trot-ski provide lots of weapons to protect him!
Textile reveals a sewing machine Cutie Mark, then removes her shawl, revealing a unicorn’s horn, a sniper scope, a gun saddle attached to six energy crystals on her back, and two mechanized punching devices on her front hooves.
Textile Stitch: Glimmerist assassins lurking around! I take out and unequalize fifteen already, da? Organizer supplanted by Glimmerist, and had to rescue real organizer and deal with phony before Comrade Trot-ski get killed. Accomplished mission. So, I lead to Comrade Trot-ski, da? Support Soviet Democracy?
Blinding Faith: yes, in fact. We’re more for Democracy than Communism, but we’d much rather a Democratic regime be our neighbor, even if Communist, than the dictatorship Glimmer has set up.
Textile: But, what of Eternal Revolution? Comrade Trot-ski want remove nations for global Soviet Democracy!
Nightfall: Well, if it’s a choice between that and Glimmerism, we’d choose yours in a heartbeat.
Textile: You friendly then! Come, I lead to Trot-ski! He speaking right now!
(OOC: Textile may be fooled that easily, but wording needs to be more careful to convince Trot-ski. he’s been living in exile for 10 years, and he’s extremely suspicious of all but those he knows for a fact he can trust, or those willing to risk imprisonment in Starlight’s gulags for him, as he hates gulags.)
