(I like her motivation a lot. Definitely could have fooled me with the meme thing.)
"I mean.." Sekhmet took another look around at everything she'd been shown. "-no? Of course not. It's all very practical. Imagine all the ponies that could benefit from this stuff."
She chose not to mention the pony she had in mind, not wanting to give Smokeyheart the idea that she was self-centered. Okay, maybe she was. But she didn't need to broadcast that fact.
"This seems like more than a hobby. I'll bet you could make a living off of it!" -
( a long time ago, I watched a video talking about what happens to unicorns who break their horns, or pegasi whose wings don’t or stop working? Are they just treated like earth ponies? Where do they go. So I think I’m drawing from their.)
“ yeah...there’s a filly in a town called ponyville, poor thing has deformed wings, so she’s been living on the ground since she was a foal,” Smokey sighs
“ ah! Yes, I usually sell my obviously practical affects super easily.” She grins -

(Hey, I'm moving in with my dad right now and he doesn't have internet. I'm gonna drop out here until I've got wifi set up here. Sorry.)
-
(That’s fine, don’t worry about it. I hope everything goes smoothly.)

"What are you doing working at the agency? It seems like nothing more than a distraction when you have this much talent. You could open a shop. You could be rich."
Sekhmet had been driven to the agency with a very limited scope of prospective jobs. The places her best friend hadn't gotten her banned from all required qualifications she just didn't have. Smokey, on the other hand, had a gift in a very lucrative field. -
(I’m so sorry I didn’t notice this! )
Smokey blinks. “ selling my inventions? Nah it’s too easy. Too easy for it to fail, ponies aren’t...if it isn’t magic..a lot of them are wary? Even then, I have no guarantee it wouldn’t be for the worse of pony kind.” She says obviously not giving much thought into it.
“ the small town I’m from, steam town? There’s ponies from there who are way more gifted than I am.” She smiles.
( I shifted her backstory a little bit, she was raised by her earthbound parent in steam town, which is a very old fashioned steampunk themed village with very few Pegasi or unicorns, so they’ve come to rely on tech. If his doesn’t work I can retconn it?) -
(All good, I didn't want to pester you about it after abandoning it for so long.)
Sekhmet frowned.
"What are you going to do with this stuff if not distribute it? Just look at it?"
(I don't think there's any problem with the backstory.) -
“ well...even if I wanted to I can’t, the agency owns my inventions until I can ...prove that I’m not a safety hazard. I need to get public approval...but most ponies think I’m nuts!” She says brightly.
“...you mentioned before you don’t have many hobbies? What do you like to do? I...I feel that here’s more to a pony than what she or he likes or dislikes, it’s their passion that interests me. So what gets you stoked?”
Smokey heart is like a less morally grey entrapta -
Sekhmet paused, squinting.
"Why... how are they allowed to do that? Are they funding them?"
She sat down, shaking her head to push her mane out of her eyes.
"I don't really have any passions. I keep my head down, get what I need, and get out of the way." -
Smokey blinks. “...no they’re not.” She says confused. “ a-are agencies not allowed to do that?” She asks.
“ oh...that’s sad.” Smokeyheart says. “ I can’t imagine a world without my inventions, it’s what makes me ...well me.” She says, brightly but not overly cheerful. Her tone was somewhere in the middle.
“ what are your thoughts on the channeling invasion and how the element wielders are dealing with it?” Smokey asks suddenly. -
It was becoming clear that Sekhmet had already invested too much interest in this pony- she was becoming genuinely irritated. She took in a deep breath before speaking again, hoping to clear her mind.
"I would suggest that you ask Creeping Cloud about the terms of whatever contract it is you have with the agency. That doesn't sound right."
She glared at the floor for a second before speaking again, softer now.
"Can we continue this conversation somewhere else? If it's not too much trouble, I think I'd like some of those snacks you had earlier." -
( sorry that I’m so s---ty about responding to this!)
( also, I was wondering if it would be okay with you if I titled my official thread after my homestuck planet, I didn’t want to do it without getting your go ahead, since you weren’t the first to do it, if you’d rather I’d not hen that’s fine :) )
“ creeping cloud...oh yeah her.” Smokey heart said apparently having forgotten the name of the mare in charge.
The unicorn looked around the room.
Then she grinned.
“Yes! Snacks!” She says as she collected the tiny food she had talked about earlier.
“ we need to go upstairs, since I destroyed the downstairs dining hall” the unicorn informs her partner, as if this was a common household occurrence. -

Sekhmet followed behind Smokey with a soft chuckle, already becoming desensitized to the shock factor most of what she said seemed to present.
"How did that happen?" she took the bait, if only to keep the unicorn talking. She was a lot more interesting that a lot of other ponies. "And what snacks have you got?" -
