"Hmm. You have to admit tyough, if anyponies have the power to deal with this and potentially complete its original purpose. It would be the combined magic of the Princessess.
Still dangerous though."
Scarlet thought for a moment.
"Snowy, didn't you say the the puzzle cubes you found like these, were, or could be, a map to Manorspace?"
"I don't feel anyone but the princesses have 'rightful claim' to the box and its pieces. If I bought you a jigsaw puzzle, and one piece happened to fall out, some pony finding it doesn't mean its is theirs. They can't claim the Juvenal belief of 'finders keepers' it was never there's in the first place."
"Snowy, didn't you say that the puzzle cubes you found like these, were, or could be, a map to Manorspace?
Snowy grimaces. "It's...complicated. Inside each puzzle cube was a third of a three-tiered map of the manor. But it was a blueprint for an actual manor, not the anti-gravity funhouse Desert Rose was pulled into. She said the manor matched the blueprints, if you stretched things out like they were taffy. I'm hoping that they're just blueprints, and don't have any magical significance."
Static just rolled his eyes. He could see both sides. There were reasons why both Luna and Night Cap should have a claim. But of course Rhapsody would only ever see one side of any argument, and he was tired of wasting his breath.
"Guess we'll just have to see how the conversation between Night, Ms. Iron and the princesses goes. Like I said, glad it's a decision I've got nothing to do with."
Snowy's hair rustles for a moment as he thinks. He absently hums the song. "...Not exactly. He said he wanted it to be a garden, at first. I think when he decided to make a whole world he started with a house. It's not hard. Just a couple of rooms, maybe a bedroom with good lighting and a sitting room with a comfy sofa, then you put it in white stucco walls and put that on a cliff overlooking an ocean, and the cliff faces west so you can watch the sundown every evening..." He shakes his head, trying to leave his own thoughts behind. "What I mean is you start with a house, and you expand from there. I think he designed the house as an anchor, a doorway between worlds, and then something went wrong."
Wingston Blues replied with, "Chamomile is a flower used in some teas. It has a calming effect so some drink it before they go to sleep."

"Oh. I've never tried that. Maybe I should?" Misty walks a little ways away from Wingston. She shakes her whole body, head to tail, like a dog that's just come inside from the rain. Bits of slush fly in every direction.
After a moment she stops and looks back to Wingston. "If I had, maybe I wouldn't have had a nightmare like that."
Still dangerous though."
