So last thread Anon trapped his soul inside a picture and spell bound himself. What do we think about that?
>>
>>29383803
Anon the lich.
>>
>>29383803

I wonder how he's going to hide it from everybody. His place is littered with books and parchment with his attempts to recreate runes, he's permanently tattooed his chest with a rune instead of sticking it on the bottom of his foot or somewhere hidden, and he's not even trying to cover his tracks, being an absolute madman yelling at Princess Friendship in public. Despite giving himself magic, he can't legitimately use it in public without blowing his cover.

>blowing his cover

He won't care.
He'll just try to gain more magic, and when the ponies will try to stop him, he'll freak out and accuse them of wanting him to remain useless and defenceless.

It's a legitimate strategy.

How about a series of short stories, where

?
Plot could go something like this:
>He tries to dig out one from graveyard

>In a hilarious turn of events they're convinced that Anon just wants some meat
>Anon obviously can't tell them the truth
>Anon doesn't deny
>Twilight gives Anon a lecture about trusting your friends more

>Anon drugs and kidnaps Lyra to make a clone of her in Mirror Pool and take horn from her clone
>Lyra wakes up just before being cloned, being hold tightly by Anon
>She thinks that Anon is trying to court her human style, which is really romantic
>Anon doesn't deny
>Twilight gives Anon lecture about expressing your feelings

>Anon learned that there's a real unicorn skeleton in school, in their anatomical class
>he gets in there during night to steal it

>"Maybe you can't concentrate right! There must be some magic in that dumb horn of yours!" Twilight poked at your accidental boner you had while in the bathroom
"GODDAMN IT KNOCK NEXT TIME!"

>That must be it. Unicorns have to concentrate
>"And now, weaklings. I shall wipe you off the face of Eque-" Before he was able to cast his spell, you came out with the first thing that you think he'd be distracted with
"HORSE PUSSY!" His magic fizzled out and he jumped from your exclamation
>You ignored Rarity's complaints of her virgin ears as the black haired
>"What manner of creature are you, you-" You see his horn spark, but you threw some pocket sand in his eyes. "GAH! YOU FOOL!"
"Cmon, get up, girls! Use the elements!" You hurry them along and they finally charge up their magic
>"You wretched ape! I shall-"
"Daddy doesn't like that language." You say in a serious tone and step aside, letting their friendship beam take him down
>Typical roar into the sky as he dies scene

So I'm >>29387159 and decided to try out >>29388158's middle prompt. May as well jump into it.
Title is "Anon's horn problem" because holy shit I can't into titles.

>"If your home world is completely void of magic, the chances of you being able to perform magic are slim."
>Twilight's ears are folded back, her tone further conveying the harsh reality of your situation.
>In any other subject you would throw in the towel. You've lost far too many arguments with her to dispute her knowledge. Fact-checking was never your strong point.
>You can make exceptions every now and then.
"I'll take slim chances over no chance. Not being able to perform magic in such a magical world is practically criminal."
>You shift slightly in your seat, a vain attempt to get comfortable in a chair slightly too small for you. Twilight's library is quite large even for you, but clearly seating wasn't designed for the vertically-gifted.
>Twilight remains silent for a moment. Is she coming up with another excuse to shoot down your dreams? She of all peo- ponies should be willing to keep trying until you were absolutely sure.
>"Anon, I already tried teaching you the basic spells foals start out with while monitoring your magic output. Nothing showed up!"
>You remember that experiment. The book she gave you was clearly designed for kids, the beige unicorn colt on the cover displaying a smile far too cheery for your liking. What was the name of it, 'Babby's first magic show'? Probably.
>You don't want to begin with small spells, you want to shoot fire out of your hands! Blow shit up, turn water into wine, change gravity with a snap of your fingers! The book's Table of Contents mentioned telekinesis but you didn't read up on it. Lifting things with magic should be the same as lifting with your arms, right?
>You fade back from your brief daydreaming and realize that Twilight never stopped talking. Shit, what is she going on about now?
>>
>>29393397
>"...to mention that you're not a unicorn. How are you supposed to perform magic without a horn?"
>Twilight finishes her impromptu speech and stares at you with an eyebrow raised and a slight grimace on her face.
>Shit.
>You've never considered that before, which is surprising given how glaringly obvious the problem is.
>Sure earth ponies and pegasi have magic and use it to a minor extent, but they never use spells. All because they don't have a horn? Looks like it.
>This entire time you've been focusing on projecting spells through your hands. How cool would it be to fire magic with a sweet pair of finger pistols?
>Really fucking cool.
>But now you're being told that you can't use magic without a horn. A long pointy appendage that works as a great focal point. You don't have that.
>...
>Well, maybe you do...
>You slowly glance down to your crotch.
>Will it work? Can you perform unheard-of feats of magic with the power of your wang? Is pelvic thrusting a long-lost art of-
>"Well?"
>Oh right, Twilight.
>You hope she doesn't question your brief gazing. Straightening back up, you respond quickly and truthfully.
"I don't know."
>Even as the words leave your mouth you wish you could take them back. Not to reword, but because they hurt. You have no idea how you could possibly execute spells without using a horn.
>Your gaze drifts back south for reasons other than dick-watching. The dream is dead. You can't use magic. At all.
>You only wanted a taste of power. To live out the fantasy so many others back on Earth dreamed of and poured into stories and movies alike. Harry Potter getting the ultimate wand. Gandalf doing cool wizard shit too, also with a wand. Wait. Did he use a wand? You never watched the movies and now it's biting you in the ass.
>You wish Equestria had phone service, although your phone quickly became a glorified paperweight after you arrived. No internet tends to do that.
>Think Anon, think. Maybe it was a staff he used? You really can't remem-
>>
>>29393411
>Wait.
>A wand.
>They used wands. Well, you're not sure if Gandalf did but lets say he did because you realize something that makes your breathing hitch slightly.
>They.
>Used.
>Wands.
>Long, thin, pointy objects clearly designed for magical usage.
>Unlike your penis.
>You need a wand. From what Twilight has said, unicorn horns are perfect conductors of magic.
>You can put two and two together.
>At this point you're reasonably positive that Gandalf used a staff but your mood is rising too much to dwell on facts.
>You look back up to Twilight.
>Throughout your mental musings Twilight has said nothing, yet her flattened ears and sad look tells you all she is thinking. Her ears perk up slightly as your facial expression shifts into one of carefully contained excitement.
"I need a wand. A unicorn wand"
>"What?"
"A wand from a unicorn. I mean - gah! A unicorn horn! As a wand!"
>Your volume increases with each failed pronunciation until you're almost yelling. Your heart-rate has also increased substantially. So much for containing your hope.
>Twilight is quick to process your words.
>"You want to use a unicorn horn as a wand?"
>Congratulations lady, you know how to listen!
>Twilight thinks for a moment.
>"You think using a unicorn horn as a wand will allow you to channel magic."
>She delivers that sentence as a statement rather than a question. She knows.
"Yea."
>"While I'm proud of you for coming to a theoretically-reasonable conclusion, unfortunately that's not possible."
>The look on your face must be awful because Twilight hastily continues before you can ask the obvious.
>"I mean, where are you supposed to get a unicorn horn?"
>Oh.
>You were expecting a more soul-crushing response. This? You can handle. You surprise yourself with how quickly you come up with a solution.
"Well I know there's a hospital here in Ponyville..."
>You purposefully trail off, hoping Twilight will figure it out and avoid making you voice your scheme.
>>
>>29393420
>In all honesty, it's not a good plan. In fact, it's a bad plan. However, it's a plan and it's more than you had several minutes ago. You'll take this over nothing.
>Twilight has adopted the classic "I hope you're not serious" look that you've come to know and not love.
>She's really going to make you say it? Fine.
"Not everyone comes out of the hospital alive, so I was thinking th-"
>"You are NOT taking the horn of a deceased pony! Are you crazy?!?"
"What? Of course not. If you have a better solution then I would love to hear it."
>"I don't have any idea of how YOU would acquire a unicorn horn, but the LAST thing I would do is take one from the dead!"
>Twilight puts heavy emphasis on certain words to really hammer in how stupid you are, or at least should feel. It doesn't bother you though, you've disappointed your loved ones more than enough to dull the pain.
>In any case, as reluctant as you are to admit it, she's right. Again.
>Fuck.
"Good thinking, Sparkle. A horn from a dead unicorn probably wouldn't work. You know, because they're dead."
>Sound logic, Anon.
>You ignore the sputtering from a slightly malfunctioning Twilight and ponder upon a new potential issue.
>What if you go through the effort to acquire a unicorn horn and it doesn't work?
>Not that it won't. At least you hope it does. You're just considering all potential possibilities, yea? Yea. Let it be known that you were thorough in your ideas.
>Back to the issue. Horn may not work after doing work to get it. That is bad. You no like bad.
>You have a notion. A good notion by your standards.
"I need to borrow your horn."
>Twilight stops her impression of a failing locomotive to look at you in confusion.
>"What?"
"I need to borrow your horn. Don't worry, it won't take long."
>"Borrow my... Anon, how in Equestria do you plan on borrowing my horn?"
>How else?
"Well I have my saw I use-"
"YOU are NOT cutting off MY HORN!"
>>
>>29393426
>You're really starting to get tired of Twilight interrupting you. Doesn't she know that's not polite?
"Well I need a horn to test out before I go hunting for one of my own."
>You pause.
"Actually, scratch that. You can keep it."
>Twilight's incredulous expression softens slightly but holds up in anticipation of whatever else you might have to say.
"I'll just try it out while it's attached to your head. You keep your horn, I get my test run. Win/win situation, am I right?"
>You raise and spread your arms to further drive home just how good your solution is. Theatrics isn't your thing but you need to sell this hard.
>If the look of disapproval Twilight is giving you right now tells you anything, it's that your solution is bad and your acting is worse.
>She begins to speak, but stops herself with pursed lips and a small sigh
>After a moment, she starts again.
>"You are not using my horn to test your magical abilities."
>What.
"Why not?"
>"Because I said so."
>Oh hell no.
>Sparkle did NOT just say that.
"'Becau-'"
>You have to stop and allow a small scoff to pass. Truly this mare has no idea what she just did.
"Because you said so? Am I a child? Do I look like a child?"
>Alright, so maybe sometimes you act like one. You know full well Twilight is going to say that so you continue on, slightly increasing the volume of your voice to avoid any possible cut-ins.
"Lets ignore that because I'm a nice person."
>Twilight's face is stone.
"Twilight, I thought you wanted to help me learn to use magic. Is that not the case anymore?"
>Her expression falls slightly and she pokes the floor lightly with her left fore-hoof.
>"Of course I want to help you Anon."
"Then please let me use your horn."
>You went all out with that last request. 'Please'? Even Twilight must now know you're dead serious.
>"...I'm sorry Anon but I can't."
>She's not looking at you anymore, opting to take a page from your earlier book and look at the ground.
>>
>>29393436
>Weird, she doesn't look sad. A better description would be... nervous? It's hard to tell from this angle.
>Either way, you're not letting up. Maybe just jumping straight to the event will loosen her up to the idea.
>You get up from the chair, your back protesting due to your poor sitting posture. Your later years will be hell if you don't fix it now.
>Twilight's head raises to look at you, bending backwards until her entire body is also leaning back due to your close proximity. She mentioned before how much she disliked having to look up to meet your gaze. When you commented on the similar height between you and Celestia her only response was 'you appear taller.'
>Rude.
>That could also explain why Rainbow Dash almost always hovers at head height when talking to you. Or gloating to you, it all sounds the same.
>Twilight's face has returned to it's neutral look but switches to one of confusion when you reach down to her head.
>Then you grab her horn.
>The first thing you notice is it's surprisingly warm, likely due to Twilight's body temperature.
>The second thing you feel is a slight tingling in your hand. You focus on that. Is this magic? Feels weird, like your hand fell asleep.
>Alright, time to test out your magic capabilities! What first, maybe icicles shooting fro-
>Your brief magical adventure is cut short as a purple aura surrounds your hand.
>Holy shit, is that you? Are you subconsciously doing this?
>Your hopes are dashed when your fingers are slowly pried, one by one, off of Twilight's horn. When your little appendages are fully removed the aura carries your hand back to your side before disappearing.
>Drat.
>You finally take the time to look at Twilight. Her expression confuses you. It reminds you of whenever she puts a large amount of effort into a spell. Ever so slightly-labored breathing, mane slightly disheveled... wings raised slightly? Even her cheeks are a lighter shade of purple. Jeez, this experiment really took that much out of her?
>>
>>29393443
>Twilight continues to stare at you, yet you feel she doesn't actually see you.
>After maybe 10 seconds, Twilight blinks once, her pupils and irises contracting briefly before returning to normal size. You always thought that was weird.
>"I... I'm fine, Anon."
"You sure? You don't look to well."
>It finally dawns on you.
"Aw crap, did I hurt you?"
>Shit, nice going Anon.
>You were so focused on getting awesome magical powers that you went and hurt one of your friends. Is that what you are, someone who uses their friends solely for personal gain? You really need to step back and re-evaluate your priorities.
>Twilight's voice snaps you out of your personal pity party.
>"You didn't hurt me. I just wasn't expecting that."
>She lets out a deep breath.
>"In the future, please do not touch my horn."
"Okay"
>You keep your answer short and sweet. Twilight says she's fine but for all you know she could be downplaying the effects. Better to get out of her mane and avoid any further fuckups.
"Well, I think I'll head out now. I, uh... yea."
>Your voice dies down as you fail to come up with a sufficient excuse to leave. Thankfully Twilight doesn't push the issue. In fact, she seems eager to see you go. Or just back to her normal mood. Really, this entire session was one mixed bag of crushed hopes and whole pieces of renewed belief.
>"I'll see you around, Anon. Bye!"
"Later Twilight"
>You ease your way around her and head for the open door. A few steps before you make it out, Twilight's voice speaks up.
>"Anon?"
>You turn around reluctantly. You knew it, you fucked up. This is how it ends. Not with a bang, but with a slightly aggravated mare.
"Yes?"
>Twilight looks at you with worry.
>"Please don't go to the hospital"
>Oh.
>You chuckle lightly.
"I'm not going to the hospital, I promise."
>Your words seem to satisfy her.
>"Good."
>You nod briefly in acknowledgement before turning back around to leave.
>"Anon?"
>>
>>29393456
>Fucking hell.
>Is this your punishment? Forever on the brink of escape, doomed to merely eye freedom?
"Yes?"
>You can't avoid the exacerbation creeping into your tone. You also don't turn around completely, instead opting to only rotate your head slightly to the right to hear better.
>"Don't touch ANY unicorn's horn without permission."
>Emphasis on 'any', got it.
"Of course Twilight, it won't happen again. I'm sorry."
>"No harm done, Anon, don't worry. Have a good day!"
"You too."
>With your conversation done, you finally step out into the hallway and move towards the outside world.

Yea, so that's the first part. First time "writing", so it took me the better part of 5 hours and a light headache.
Criticism needed, if not wanted. My vocabulary is extremely limited and I'm fairly sure the pacing increased towards the end (largely due to it being 5 in the morning).
>>
>>29393481
Why doesn't Anon just become Olivanon and make his own wand? He's got everything he could need, magical tree wood (apple, everfree, are the most magical ones I could think of wood from the tree of harmony could probably make the equivalent of the elder wand) and he's got all the components available for the possible cores (unicorn hair, maybe alicorn or pegasi hair could work as well, phoenix feather, and dragon heartstring) this could work if he knew what the fuck he was doing
but aside from that I quite enjoyed this so far and I'd be up for seeing more

Here's a discussion topic, how would you personally survive in a world where magic is such a necessity? What kind of skill set would benefit in that situation? I'm thinking being a writer or an artist or something that isn't manual labor would be best, considering how magic is infinitely better at that.

Update on >>29393481
I can't (read: won't) give any dates of delivery until I'm already done with a part. I'm extremely prone to backing out of deadlines even given to myself, so I'd hate to raise the hopes of even one person and destroy them later.
Part 2 is approaching completion but it's past 5am and I'd rather not include 'exhaustion' in the list of things that ruin the story. I'll include a pastebin with the updated and revised story when I post it.

That's normal.
Humans have tendency to subconsciously mistake realistic plans with best case scenario plans (there were studies about this).
So don't be so hard on yourself writebro.

>No fucking way.
>You’ve done it.
>You’ve done it!
>Your face hurts as the biggest smile you’ve ever shown appears on your face.
>You leap into the air, pumping your fists.
“Haaaaaaa! Haaaaaa ha ha ha! Yes! I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it!”
>>
>>29403171

>You land, feeling light as a feather, and run around without any real direction.
>Your whole body is filled with energy.
“Yes! Anonymous! Big, bad Anonymous! Take that, Equestria! I’ve joined the ranks of legends!”
>Your name will be written in the history books.
>Anon, the greatest wizard who ever lived.
>The first man to ever spell bind a living thing.
>No more weakness. No more helplessness.
>You’re not some pathetic little wimp anymore.
>Nobody saves you! Now you do the saving!
>Greatness awaits!
>Another laugh comes on.
>Your joy echoes out into the frosty night air.
>You can’t even feel the cold anymore.
>Your blood courses through your veins with fervor, raising your body temperature as high as your spirits.
“Oh man, what should I do next?”
>What should you do? Well, that’s obvious.
>Anything you want!
>The world is your oyster!
>You, with your bare hands and only a few felonies, have pried open the shell of the universe and revealed its treasure.
>It’s all yours now.
>Everything you need to make it in this world is now quite literally at your fingertips.
>Strength.
>Magic.
>Yes, magic. That’s what you need.
>More magic.
>You have to study!
>You toss the stick into the air and grasp it in your telekinetic force.
>Mocking a pitch, you send the thing flying through sky, watching it disappear past the horizon.
>With that done, you run back inside and get to the important stuff.
>>
>>29403178

>The next day.
>Your slow trot has turned into a gallop.
>You were on your way to Anon’s house when you heard another scream similar to when you found him in the Everfree last week.
>Wait, if you found Anon in the Everfree, that must mean you’re Twilight Sparkle now.
>Anyway, you race across town, eager to save him from whatever monsters are at his doorstep.
>His small cabin comes into view past the jungle that his walkway has become.
>Branches jut out into the path and dead leaves litter the snowy covering.
>You have to maneuver through them, careful not to scratch yourself, before his cabin comes into view.
>Quickly closing the gap between the walkway and his door, you start banging on it.
“Anon, I’m here! Do you need help? Open up!”
>Oh no, he’s not answering.
>You might have to break the door down.
>Well, Applejack always said that sometimes a door needs a good kicking.
>Oh no, you were supposed to go to Applejack’s today to discuss advanced farm theory.
>Well, you can still make it if you kill whatever is maiming Anon quickly.
>You turn around and prepare to kick, but just as your muscles are cocked, the door clicks and slides open.
>That was easy.
>Well, best not to waste time!
>You burst in, horn charged and ready.
“I’m here, Anon! Where are they? I’ll save you!”
>You scan the room for threats.
>All there is is Anon on the other side of the room, covered up from head to toe.
>”Hello, Twilight,” he mumbles.
“Anon? Where are the monsters?”
>”Excuse me?”
“You were screaming. I figured you needed saving again.”
>”Never again,” he snaps, pulling his attention from the book he was previously engrossed in.
>The desk he’s at is piled high with spell books and history books.
>There’s even a few scrolls which you could have sworn you once saw in the Castle of the Two Sisters.
>>
>>29403185

>His frayed beard does little to hide his grimace.
>Thankfully, his sour expression returns to something more bored, and he goes back to reading.
>”No monsters. I was practicing some primal scream therapy.”
“What’s that?”
>”It’s a human thing.”
>Oh, human things? That’s great.
>You can learn about it and strengthen the friendship between you two.
>Although you’ll have to get whoever else is here to go.

“So, who is with you today?”
>”Nobody.”
>Nobody? Then how did the door open?
>He sighs and rises, grabbing the sides of the blanket draped over his shoulders and pulling them in to keep it from falling.
>”Twilight, why are you here?”
“What do you mean?”
>”The last time I saw you, I slapped you across the face, humiliated you in front of your subjects, and told you to leave me alone. Why are you here?”
“You opened the door.”
>He squints at your response.
>Is he going to say something?
>Maybe you should break the ice.
>No, let him feel like he has the power here. It’s what Celestia would do in one of her meetings.
>Whenever a frail, weak little excuse of a diplomat would come to Canterlot, she would make them feel more at home by offering them the first of everything.
>It makes sense then that a weak little human like Anon should have the first word here.
>For friendship.
>”Do you want to leave? I’m kind of busy.”
>Gosh darn it, there he goes again.
>Why can’t he just let you be a friend?
“I’d rather have a cup and a chat, if it’s all the same to you.”
>”It’s not. Leave.”
“I won’t go that easily, Anon. You can’t exactly run away from me in your own home, so I suggest you talk to me now or we can wrestle as you try to drag me outside.”
>”You’re a cunt.”
“What’s that mean?”
>”It’s human for turn around.”
>Awesome! You’re making progress.
>You smile and obey, giving him the privacy he desires.
>>
>>29403198

>In the background, you can hear fabric shuffling as he likely gets changed.
“You humans are so silly with your clothes. You know those are only for formal events, right?”
>”Maybe in Equestria. On Earth, any decent person covers themselves.”
“Did you like that I left your underwear on while you were in the hospital?”
>”Stop fishing for compliments. Alright, turn around now.”
>Once more, you follow his orders.
>He’s changed from the blanket to pajamas covered by a bathrobe covered by a coat.
>Jeez, you didn’t think it was that cold in here.
>Is it because he’s hairless?
>You should charm his cabin so that it’s warmer!

>”If I get you to drink some vodka, do you think you’d get drunk enough to stumble out my door faster?”
“Nope. Not since I learned that sobering spell.”
>”Explain.”
“Don’t you remember you gave me that sobering spell you found?”
>”At the Christmas party?”
“The what?”
>”The Christmas party. At Applejacks.”
“Oh, you mean Hearthswarming.”
>”No, but continue.”
”Well, now that I know it, I don’t have to worry about cider or this ‘vodka’ stuff anymore.”
>”So you’re telling me it worked?”
“Why wouldn’t it?”
>”Ha! I’m on a roll!”
>He practically skips into the kitchen and preps a small pot of tea.
>Anon happy. That’s something you haven’t seen in a while.
>This is real progress, Twilight.

That's all for tonight. Short, I know, but I'll be back with more tomorrow to make up for it. In the mean time, have this pastebin http://pastebin.com/5ECNnjxF

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been getting a ton more hours at work recently and have no time to myself. I'll work writing in when I can, but it's just not going to come out at the same pace it was before. I mean, it could if I was willing to sacrifice sleep, but anyone who read the beginning of King Anon knows that me writing while tired is a very bad idea so it just cancels out anyway. I hope everyone is liking the story so far and that the sparsity of these updates isn't turning anyone off.

>You were shitposting on imageboards.
>Well, until you seen that image.
>The one with the banana.
>You /hate/ that image. Infuriated, you began to screech autistically and was ready to shitpost some more.

>Right when you were about to click post, your chest began to hurt.
>You gasped for breath. You were having a heart attack. You fumbled for your phone to call for help but couldn't seem to turn it on.
>Damn thing was dead.

>You was going to die. You didn't want anyone to see your r34 folder of Nyx so you hastily began to nuke all of your porn.
>Half way through deleting, the pain in your chest went away. That was good.
>Realizing what you just done, you quickly click cancel.
>That’s when everything went dark.
>>
>>29406263
>You open your eyes, immediately recalling the events that just happened.
>You strained to catch an outline of anything, but the room was pitch black.
>You didn't exactly really believe in a God, but you sometimes asked him to float some luck your way here and there.
>You'd figure you should be in hell, but to your surprise you weren't burning or in any pain.
>You feel around your surroundings and find a blanket.
>Then you found a pillow.
>Wait a minute. That all had to have been a dream.
>You couldn’t shake the feeling though. It all felt too real. You get up out of bed, and stumble around in the darkness for the wall, looking for the lightswitch.
>You trip over something squishy.
>"Agh!"
>You went stiff. Someone was in your room.
>"Ouch… Who's there? Twilight, you okay?" The voice was sort of feminine, but too deep to be female.
>You quickly recover from your fall, and back up, running into the wall.
"Who's Twilight? What are you doing in my room?"
>You spoke without fear in your voice. You were less afraid now you were sure the voice was from a kid and you was more just in shock.
>"Wait, what? W-who are you?"
>You really needed to see what was going on.
"Look, don’t be scared. I'm Anon, could you tell me what is going on?"
>You cringed at the nervousness in your voice and the fact that you just rhymed.
"Could you please turn on the lights? I need to figure out what happened."
>With that, fire briefly illuminated the area in front of you, lighting a candle.
>The glow of the candle illuminated a cartoonish purple looking midget thing. You think you were beginning to have another heart attack.
>Darkness and silence succumbed you once again.

Just trying out this idea for a story I have in my head. Will make updates soon.

>>29406269
I decided I wanted to show how Anon ended up in Equestria, and not follow the prompt exactly. I promise the story will get there.

>Your eyes shot open, and were met with sunlight.
>You winced and were temporarily blinded.
>"Oh good, you're awake. I was beginning to worry you were in a coma."
>That voice, it sounded very familiar. Your vision began to fade in and you sat up.
>You are not in your room. Your gaze is met with two large purple eyes.
>Holy fuck. That’s Twilight Sparkle from the show! Where the fuck were you?
>You yelp in surprise. You heard another voice in the distance.
>”Hey Twilight, I found the book you were looking for. It looks like it may tell us more about him.”
>You’re gaze leaves those purple eyes and to something else that is purple.
>Oh, you realised. That must have been who you tripped over. You tripped over Spike!
>Your jaw went slack. You were in awe. This couldn’t be real. This had to be a dream.
>”That’s great, Spike! Look, guess who’s awake!.”
>This must be a /very/ vivid dream. It almost felt like book horse actually just laid her hoof on your shoulder.
>You remember just before that you thought you died. It felt very real too. You don’t remember ever going to bed before that. You decide to figure that out later.
>”Shh it’s okay, I’m not here to hurt you. The name’s Anon, is it not?”
>Oh yeah, you told Spike your name.
>The look on your face made her tone down her excitement. She didn’t want to startle you anymore than she thought you were.
>He rushed over to her side.
>”Hey Anon, you feeling okay? You sorta fell face first into the floor after you blacked out. Crystal is pretty hard, ya know.”
>Your expression didn’t change. They both frowned.
>You had an idea. If you were lucid dreaming, you should have some degree of control over what happens. You should be able to make yourself wake up.
>You imagine yourself exploding.
>A moment passes. Nothing.
>This still couldn’t be real, could it?
“Yeah…that’s Right. Where am I?”

I've decided to write large parts and stagger out updates over time. I'll fix some mistakes in an updated pastebin.
>>
>>29406239
>Not being first language
Oh, that explains it. I imagine it's normal if you're taking twice as much time as others if you have to do twice as much work (write green in your mother language and then translate it).

>>29406510
It starts interesting. I hope you'll post more soon.

>>29406510
>You eased up for their sake. They looked pretty worried.
>”You’re in Equestria. I believe you came from another dimension, one of which I happen to know quite a lot about.”
>That’s right. Equestria Girls. Spike and Twilight both would know what humans looked like.
>Wait. She said another dimension. You thought about the portal. If you came from the portal, wouldn’t you turn into a pony, sort of like how Twilight turned into a human?
>EQG never happened in your universe.
>No. You didn’t come through the portal, and you aren’t dreaming.

>”Let’s put off that topic for now. How are you feeling? You hit your head pretty hard, and I’m not certain how well healing magic works on humans.”
>The thought of traveling dimensions baffles you. You need to push those thoughts aside for later.
>Your head hurts a little, but you don’t want to worry her further.
“I’m feeling alright… So you’re ponies? We have creatures sort of like you where I’m from, but they’re illiterate, and likely by your standards retarded.”

>Nah, you aren’t going to say anything about your knowledge of the show yet. You figure now is not the time.
>Spike shrugged, and Twilight frowned.
>Yeah, you should probably choose my words more carefully.
“Am I really from another dimension? How do I know I’m not just dreaming?”
>”Well, do you feel like you’re in a dream?” Twilight asked.

“No… but I remember dying before I awoke here. My heart did a meme on me I guess.”
>”What’s a meme?” Spike asked.
“Oh, I mean my heart gave out. It’s not like I had much of a life there, anyway.”
>You begin to accept that you died in your world, and reincarnated into this one. Incarnated exactly the same age before you died, with all memories of your past. Did you even die?

It's great that you don't want to interrupt Ritefrend, but I NEED my dose! Can't you at least update your pastebin and post link?

Ah, I was expecting multiple posts across the span of 10-ish minutes. I'l just dump now.

>”Well, I guess Equestria is your home now. I think I know how to get you back in your dimension, I mean, that is if you want. One thing really bothers me though. I find it very strange that you would randomly wake up here in my castle. Something tells me somepony very powerful was involved, somehow.”
>You stand up, and stretch. Wow, you are tense.
>"Oh silly me, I never introduced myself. I'm Twilight, and this is spike"
“How long was I out?”
>”Not very long, about two days now.”
>You walk over to the window and look out across the landscape. You wonder if time worked the same here.
>You are in Twilight’s Castle, in Ponyville. The view from up here is phenomenal.
>Everything’s made up of mostly bright colors. You could see many houses with roofs made of hay and with you guessed to be white, clay walls, which are lined with mostly just pink trimming.
>You could see ponies in the distance going about their daily lives. It truly looks bigger than what it did in the show.
>”You, of course, are welcome in the castle for as long as you like. If you want, I can show you around Ponyville and let you meet my friends. I think you will like it here.”
>You turn to face her and grin.
>It looks like you are getting a fresh start at life, and living the dream of an entire board of autists.

>Well, you hoped this wasn’t a dream.
>You really wanted to meet a few ponies.
“That would be great! ...But uh, don’t you think pe- ponies might find the sight of me… Strange?”
>You are getting anxious. How would they react?
>You hoped in the presence of Twilight no one will freak out.
>”We should get something to eat. I figure there’s some food here that’s the same as in your world.”
>”Spike, could you go ahead and deliver an update to Celestia? I’m sure she’d like to know she can visit now.”
>Wow, you was going to meet another princess. You wonder how that conversation will go down.

That's all for now. I'll continue writing and make some updates in a few hours.
>>
>>29393481
>You navigate your way to the front door, idly glancing at the many rooms you pass by.
>Twilight's castle is far bigger on the inside than its exterior suggests. You chalk it up to more magical shenanigans.
>As you step outside you take note of the sun's gradual descent. Sunset is approaching, which means dinnertime is near.
>Strolling along the well-beaten road, your thoughts return to your current predicament. You wanted to use the time spent heading home to ease up and approach your task with a clear head but it's impossible. One question continues to present itself to you no matter how hard you try to ignore it.
>'What now?'
>Testing out a unicorn horn before actually removing it is out of the equation. Twilight's reaction certainly confirms that. That only leaves getting a horn, and you've already shot down retrieving one from the deceased.
>Then again, your response to Twilight was mainly constructed to save face. There's really only one way to find out if your idea was-
>You snap back to reality and find the upper-half of your body continuing forward while your legs remain pressed against a furry object. Shit, you're falling!
>You instinctively flail your arms and arch your back backwards in an effort to stay upright, but you're fighting a losing battle. You'll be damned if you don't try, though.
>This isn't working, time to improvise.
>You lean forward and accept your fate, moving your forearms in front of you. As they touch the ground you proceed to push off with your feet, executing a classic tuck-n-roll.
>Beautiful.
>You can't help but raise your arms perpendicular to your sides as you get up, just like a gymnast. Really, if anyone was watching that it would surely receive a perfect ten.
>Turning around to face your fuzzy obstacle, you eye the earth pony's reaction. Certainly he can appreciate the fine art of tumbling.
>"Are you okay? I tried to move out of the way but I wasn't fast enough."
>Guess not.
>>
>>29407175
>His tone is sincere although that doesn't surprise you. Who gets bumped into by a distracted citizen and apologizes instead? Ponies, that's who. These miniature chromatic horses can be far too nice for their own good.
>You're not complaining. That's how you got a free house to live in.
"I'm alright. Just keeping myself prepped for the Olympics."
>You perform a few exaggerated stretches to stay in character.
>The lime-green stallion doesn't call your bluff. Maybe your acting isn't bad. Either that or he has no idea what the hell an 'Olympics' is.
>"If you say so. Have a nice day."
>He waves politely before turning around to head in the direction you came from.
>As he leaves you sneak a peak at his cutie mark. Is that a yoga mat? It doesn't look like anything gymnastics-related.
>Clearly you aren't fit to think and walk at the same time, that's how road accidents happen. You'll never get home at this rate. Time to find a place to sit and let the creative juices flow.
>You swiftly find an unoccupied bench without any further incidents and sit down, your legs splayed out far ahead of you. Hopefully no one trips over them.
>That was easy. Now comes the hard part.
>What were you thinking about before that little fiasco? Unicorn horns and how to get one? Sounds about right. Something about deceased ponies being a no-go. Duh, they're dead, of course it wouldn't work.
>So now you're tasked with retrieving a horn from a living unicorn. Except who the hell would willingly let you surgically remove their horn, an object vital to performing complex feats of magic? Abso-fucking-lutely no one, that's who.
>"Hey Anon, what's up?"
>Turning your head to the right, you notice a mint-green unicorn standing next to you. Is that Lyra?
>Yes, that is Lyra.
>>
>>29407214
>Back when you first arrived in Ponyville, most of the populace weren't too thrilled to see you. A 'tall, bipedal hairless minotaur' (thank you Granny Smith) is unsurprisingly quite the rare sight in Equestria, let alone Ponyville.
>Sure everyone warmed up to you over time but those first few weeks were awkward as fuck; ponies are absolutely terrible at hiding their true feelings. Seeing so many local residents instinctively shy away from you despite doing their best to make you feel at home left you frustrated and plagued with guilt.
>Thankfully Pinkie was there to speed up the introductory process. Her 'Welcome-to-Ponyville-and-save-the-endangered-Anons' party was a hit, although the title wasn't one of her greatest works.
>Despite the party being in your honor, it was clear most ponies were still somewhat reluctant to interact with you. A brief greeting and comment on the festivities were the best you could coax out of them.
>So you were surprised to see a mint-green pony approach you.
>Wait, no.
>You were surprised at /how/ she approached you.
>No look of slight apprehension, rather, one of curiosity.
>Her gait was casual, a stark difference to the near tip-toe movements of other ponies as though they were afraid to startle you.
>You learned through your short chitchat that her name was Lyra and she played the lyre. She also had a lyre as her cutie mark.
>Go fucking figure.
>Through the passing weeks and months whenever the two of you happened to meet up you would converse. The topics almost always revolved around you, mainly Earth and humans in general.
>It didn't bother you. Unlike a certain purple alicorn, Lyra rarely asked you to elaborate on specific subjects.
>Your hands was one of said subjects.
>Lyra takes great interest in how your hands are primarily meant to hold and carefully manipulate, not tear and dismember like claws/talons. You've pointed out the far greater capabilities of magic, only to be met with a simple 'eh'.
>You digress.
>>
>>29407234
>The point is, Lyra is a great pony who helped show others how relatively harmless you are.
>And while you're not sure the two of you hang out enough to call each other 'friends', you can say with near-certainty she's a close acquaintance.
>"Equestria to Anon, do you copy? Helloooooo!!!"
>Lyra waves a fore-hoof in front of your face, ending a great flashback. When she sees your gaze refocus back onto her, she returns to standing on all four hooves, a touch of amusement visible on her face.
>"Are you finally back with the living?"
>It's impossible to miss the slight teasing in her voice.
"Hurhur, very funny."
>"Whatcha thinking about?"
>Lyra takes this opportunity to procure a new position. Stepping carefully over your outstretched legs, she hops up onto the bench before adopting a posture similar to yours. The only difference is she keeps both forelegs at her sides.
>You've already gotten over how disturbingly flexible ponies' joints are, but there's no way in hell that position is comfortable for her.
>If there's any discomfort, Lyra makes no indication. Instead she glances over to you, her new seat putting her head a tad bit above yours.
>"Well?"
>You hesitate to respond.
>Is your dilemma something you should share with Lyra? You're not sure what her reaction would be. Absolutely horrified, positively thrilled? The possibilities are endless.
>You eye Lyra's current mood. She hasn't said anything extra, content to watch you silently debate with yourself. With each passing second of silence however, you can see concern slowly creep onto her features.
>Fuck it, you'll blab. Heck, maybe she can offer you some ideas. She is a unicorn after all.
>Wait.
>She's a unicorn.
>God dammit, Anon, how do you miss these obvious things?
>You rotate your head fully to the left, head tilted slightly upwards to meet Lyra's eyes. Her expression still contains worry as you start speaking.
>>
>>29407053
>My heart did a meme on me

>>29407249
"I, uh, met up with Twilight earlier to discuss my magical potency or lack thereof. I won't go into the details. To make a long story short, I need a unicorn horn if I want to use magic. At least, I think so."
>You hope.
>Lyra still looks worried.
>"Are you absolutely sure you need a horn?"
>You repeat your last spoken sentence.
>"Were do you plan on getting a horn from?"
>And there it is.
>That timeless inquiry you've already heard far more than you want to. Hardly her fault, it's an obvious followup question. Unfortunately it's not an easy question to answer.
"I'm not sure."
>You gesture briefly upwards with your right hand before letting it fall back to your knee with a small slap.
"Do you have any suggestions? I'll take all the help I can get."
>"Hmm..."
>Lyra trails off, no longer looking at you. Instead her gaze drifts out towards the town, likely lost in thought.
>You return to your own. Really, you only want to know if you can perform magic. Just a short test is all you're asking for... right now, at least. Could you say the same if it turns out you are a walking, talking wizard?
>Don't think about it, Anon. Just focus on the here and now. Right now you still want that test drive with a unicorn horn, sans the unicorn attached to it of course.
>We don't want a Twilight repeat.
>Will Lyra be okay with letting you borrow her horn? She's fairly relaxed most of the time. The two of you never have any difficulty communicating and the closest you come to fighting is light-hearted debating.
>What the hell, it's worth a shot. You have nothing to lose at this moment.
>You're also becoming increasingly desperate, but that's beside the point.
>Before you can speak, Lyra pipes up.
>"I... I can't think of any possible way you could get a horn. Legally of course."
>She finishes her sentence with a tiny cough. Her ears are also folded down and her eyes are filled with sorrow. Standard sad pony look.
>>
>>29407259
>Goddamn, that shit breaks your heart every time. It should be illegal for ponies to look so downcast.
>Maybe your request will cheer her up.
"I have an idea."
>Lyra's face is unchanged, likely due to guilt over being unable to help. At least that's what she thinks so far.
"Let me borrow your horn."
>Yea, you really need to work on your wording and delivery. Maybe sound less like you're giving a command and more like you're offering a good suggestion.
>To her credit, Lyra doesn't seem to take offense to your poor diction. Rather, her expression contorts into one of bemusement while her ears remain flat.
>"Huh?"
>Ponies' sense of hearing far surpasses yours, so you know damn well Lyra heard you.
"I would like to borrow your horn."
>You do better on your second attempt. Your tone is much softer than before.
>Lyra blinks twice rapidly before opening her mouth.
>"Why-"
>She cuts herself short with a brief eye roll.
>"How do you plan on borrowing my horn?"
>Ever get that feeling of deja-vu?
"I would, ehhh... I'd have to cut it off."
>No point in beating around the bush, although you wish there was a better way to say that.
>Unsurprisingly, Lyra is shocked. Eyes wide open, they slowly rotate upwards to look at her horn. She raises her left fore-hoof and pokes her horn gently.
>You remain silent although you're already preparing yourself to be shutdown. Lyra's reaction is not quite what you were hoping for yet it's what you expected. Turns out a unicorn's horn is kinda important, who would've thought?
>"Wouldn't that hurt?"
>That's not what you were expecting.
>Of course it won't hurt.
>You begin to deny her concerns but balk.
>You don't actually know if it will cause any pain. Despite that, you almost lied to her and to yourself.
>What the hell is wrong with you? You're better than that, right?
>You believe so.

>You really wanted to meet a few ponies.
>inb4 Anon is a glimfag
>>
>>29407174
Ouch, sloppy spacing. I fucked up on tenses throughout the entire thing. Here's a pastebin with most of that fixed. I'll be more careful with that now.
http://pastebin.com/Fsm9pvU2
>>
>>29407282
>Okay, let's play it safe. You'll assume that having a horn cut off is quite the unpleasant experience for a unicorn. How would you make it pleasant, or tolerable at the very least?
>Anesthetic, that's how. You know ponies have it, or at least something similar. You're not a doctor.
>Now how will you go about retrieving it?
>Easy, just walk into the hospital and say 'one anesthetic, please.' Your real reason for it will be hidden under the guise of important human business. Again, some ponies are far too nice.
"We'll use anesthesia, of course. You won't feel a thing! I just need to head to the hospital and..."
>Saying 'hospital' out loud brings a long-forgotten memory back from the dead. You can faintly hear Twilight's voice echoing through your mind.
>'Please don't go to the hospital'
>Dammit brain, why do you have recall promises now of all times? So much for your idea.
>Maybe you can ask someone to get the anesthetic? How about the CMC? Those adorable little bastards are always looking to earn a cutie mark, hardly any time would be spent convincing them.
>Then again, the pint-sized trio are quite the troublemakers at times. No way in hell they wouldn't be questioned extensively. That would lead to their family getting involved, which would eventually lead to Twilight getting involved...
>You don't want that. Anything but a lecture.
>Who else can you go to? Not any of Twilight's friends, that's for sure. They might bring up your odd request in casual conversation with Twilight, and then comes the lecture.
>Fuck lectures.
>Your options are growing narrower with each name you mentally cross out. This isn't looking good.
>"I don't think I'm comfortable with having my horn being removed"
>What.
>There's that familiar sinking feeling in your gut. Hello darkness my old friend.
>You really shouldn't push such an unusual subject any farther, but you have to know.
"Why not?"
>Lyra fidgets in her seat. Maybe you were right about that position being awkward.
>>
>>29407306
>"I'm rather fond of it. I also do need it to use magic."
>She's staring directly into your eyes now and you see her features falling back into sadness.
>"I want nothing more than to help you, Anon, but I can't give up my horn."
>You're not proud of your next words. They reek of anguish.
"I didn't say I was keeping it. I'm just gonna test it out, you know? See if I can use spells, that's all. I'll reattach it the second I'm finished."
>The words come tumbling out quicker than you want them to. Are you trying to convince Lyra or yourself?
>Lyra gives a near-imperceptible shake of her head. Her eyes are also closed.
>...
>......
>You're numb.
>You thought your reaction at Twilight's castle was bad, but this...
>You want to speak.
>You want to apologize for wasting Lyra's time, for giving such a stupid request.
>You want to at least look at her, to know what she's thinking.
>You want to say something.
>/Anything/.
>But you can't.
>You can only think about the current state of your aspirations.
>Dead.
>...
>Maybe if you stare at the ground long enough, things will get better.
>Maybe.
>Did something touch you?
>A soft poke at your left arm confirms it. Yes, you were touched.
>Turn your head Anon, it's probably Lyra. You should pay attention to her.
>You comply with your thoughts, rotating your head to look at the mint-green mare staring at you with the same downcast look as earlier. The two of you must look like the saddest couple.
>"I'm sorry, Anon"
>She sounds like she means it. Why would she be sorry? It's not her fault you're an idiot.
"No, no. Don't be."
>Your words come out as a half-whisper. It's taking far more effort than it should just to enunciate.
>Lyra remains silent for a moment. Your eyes dart around, looking anywhere but at her.
>"I have an idea."
>She leans forward to divert your gaze from the local landscape.
>"How about I make it up to you? Let's say we head to the Midnight Moon tomorrow evening for a light dinner and some drinks?"
>>
>>29407315
>Lyra puts a fore-hoof on your shoulder as she finishes.
>Make it up to you?
>Make what up to you? Why is she being so nice? This is your fault in every possible way, yet she's offering you a night out to forget your woes.
>The least you can do is accept. If not for you, for her. She deserves it after being put through this conversation.
>You straighten up from a slumped position you never noticed you were in.
"Sure, Lyra. That's sounds nice."
>You follow that up with what is unquestionably the most-forced smile you've ever done. You don't want to smile but it helps stress your gratefulness.
>And you are grateful. Even through the current haze of depression clouding your every thought, you appreciate her gesture.
>Lyra returns your smile with a more genuine one.
>"What time is good for you? I'll be a little busier than usual tomorrow but I'm free seven-o'-clock and onwards."
>Any time is a good time for you. It's not like you were exceptionally busy during the day or night.
"Eight-o'clock sound okay?"
>Lyra nods.
>"Great!"
>She looks up at the reddening sky then back to you, a small sigh escaping her lips.
>"I need to get going. Cooking duties are my responsibility this week and I'm sure Bon-bon won't be happy if she has to start dinner instead."
>You nod in understanding. You may not have experience in pissing off roommates, but you make up for it by disappointing others.
>Lyra raises her left hind-leg until her hoof is touching the seat, then leans into you, wrapping her left foreleg around your chest.
>Oh, she's giving you a hug. That's a first.
>You return the hug. She's soft. Ponies are soft.
>As you start to question the length of this hug, Lyra lets up, returning to her sitting position before pushing off the back of the bench and standing up. She turns around to give you another warm smile. She appears quite happy considering the events that just transpired.
>"I'll catch you tomorrow then."
"Yea."
>>
>>29407326
>You follow that up with another smile, although it's probably more of a grimace.
>Lyra nods once with satisfaction.
>"Have a good evening, Anon!"
>She turns to her right and walks off.
>You watch her leave for a moment before returning to your thoughts.
>What now?
>This dirt is quite interesting, perhaps you should keep staring at it.
>No, you have important things to do. Eating, showering, basic functions like those.
>Time to head home.
>With a groan you stand up, stretching your arms behind your back. Once that's over, you begin the short trek to your house.
>You give a half-hearted wave to the occasional pony wishing you a good evening. Your mind is still cluttered with pessimism.
>Ah, there's your house.
>You were given a place of residence on the edge of Ponyville, close to Fluttershy's home. A nice balance of inclusion and seclusion.
>Compared to the other homes in this town, your domicile is actually small.
>It's only one story tall although it's slightly taller than most one-story buildings. Thankfully construction was performed with your height in mind.
>Floor space is plentiful but not overkill. You don't walk on four legs, you don't need extra horizontal room.
>A bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. That's what your home is and you love it.
>Best of all, you don't have to pay a cent- err, a bit.
>In fact, you receive a weekly stipend from the good ol' Princess of Celestia to use as you wish. Nearly all of it goes towards self-upkeep, including but not limited to: cupcakes, cakes, cookies, candy, and smoothies. After all, you are a mostly responsible adult.
>Being a sapient endangered species sure has its perks.
>You reach the front door and fish inside your pockets for your keys. There's not much reason to lock up in such a nice area; you still do so out of force of habit.
>Once inside, you start towards the kitchen before halting. Are you actually hungry or just going through routine?
>>
>>29407335
>You're not hungry, you're sad. Maybe later you'll be hungry and sad. With a bit of luck you'll just be hungry. Right now however, you are sad.
>You change course towards the living room. Once you're there you drop down unceremoniously onto the ivory-colored couch, sinking into the seat.
>No horn.
>Goddammit brain, can't you go one minute without bringing that shit up?
>Well it, or rather you, are right. You don't have a unicorn horn and you no longer have the means to acquire one.
>Your depression is slowly shifting into annoyance and frustration as you think about your current situation.
>Damn unicorns being stubborn about keeping their horns. Can't they just grow them back?
>Wait, do horns even grow back?
>You have no idea. You really need to read more non-fiction works of literature and brush up on Equestrian life.
>Then again, to quote Rainbow Dash: 'Non-fiction is for eggheads.'
>Hold on, isn't the Daring Do series non-fiction? You recall Dash bragging about her adventure with the author.
>You're going off on a tangent again. Back to self pity!
>Even if horns don't grow back, can't magic be used to create another one? Humans create artificial limbs and organs, surely unicorns can one-up that and make a perfectly cloned copy. Just like the real thing.
>Exactly like the real thing.
>...
>Hold. The. Fuck. Up.
>A clone.
>Could you clone one? A unicorn horn? More importantly, how would you go about cloning it?
>You're drawing a blank. Yet another brick wall blocking yo-
>Pinkie.
>Applejack told you of an event that took place long before your abrupt arrival to Equestria.
>You remember it clearly because just the thought of experiencing it firsthand terrifies you.
>The part you focus on involved Pinkie accidentally cloning herself.
>Pinkie Pie is already a souped-up sugar machine with minimal regard for the laws of physics. Dealing with tens of them at once?
>Those poor ponies in Ponyville.
>>
>>29407346
>Stop zoning out Anon. You're trying to make a breakthrough here!
>Right, now what did Pinkie use to clone herself? The Mirror Pool, previously thought to be nothing more than a legend.
>You can use the Mirror Pool to clone a horn!
>No, wait. The Pool only works with living things.
>That means you have to clone a pony... then take their horn.
>Still not a bad idea by any means. You'd be taking a horn from a clone. They're not really real, right? You'll just toss 'em back in the pond afterwards, removing it for good.
>Infallible logic, Anon. You're doing a perfect job of convincing yourself this is a good idea.
>By now you're sitting upright, fingers interweaved with each other as you go over your new plan. You dare risk heartbreak again?
>Third time's the charm, as they say.
>That leaves one final problem.
>Who can you go to with this solution?
>You know no one is allowed to use the Pool anymore. Heck, that's why they blocked...it. Off.
>Son of a /bitch/!
>You completely forgot about that crucial detail. First thing tomorrow morning you are going to check out the entrance and see exactly how they sealed it. Hopefully it's nothing more than a simple 'fuck off' spell. You've learned through extensive testing that certain magics have minimal to no effect on you.
>Back to your previous question.
>Who to talk to?
>It can't be any of Twilight's friends, you've already established that. It also can't be any random pony, they'll probably be reluctant to break the 'law'.
>Really, that only leaves one pony.
>Lyra.
>Uncertainty fills your mind. You don't want to bring this subject back up with her. Not to mention she's already refrained from helping.
>Thing is, she's quite literally your only option.
>You really, really don't want to mention this to Lyra again. But what other choice do you have?
>...
>A new thought has been creeping slowly to the front of your internal debating. One that you've brushed off each time it made itself known.
>>
>>29407352
Anon is going to saw off Lyra clone's horn. That's going to be brutal.
Can't wait to see how he manages to pull that one off.
>>
>>29407352
>As your heart-rate steadily rises, your will weakens.
>Lyra doesn't /have/ to know...
>You let your new idea sink in fully this time. Desperation is a cruel mistress.
>Will you really indulge in this?
>It's a rhetorical question. That should alarm you far more than it does.
>Your moping died down ages ago, hunger also a thing of the past.
>Now you're determined.
>You get up from the couch, speed-walking towards your room in search of paper and a pen.
>Time to scheme.

So that's the second part. Not as light-hearted as the first, but the topic kinda calls for it.
Criticism needed, if not wanted.

I'm glad that this update was a bit longer than previous one.
Fun green, it was worth the wait/10
>>
>>29407374
Negro check your pastebin, your >green is in private.
>>
>>29407704
Whoops, fixed. I was under the impression that "unlisted" only allowed a paste to be viewed via direct link, not completely deny access. Whatever, public view is fine.

>>29407448
I'm glad it's lengthy too. I'm not purposely stretching out the story either, so these updates will range in character count.
>>
>>29407174
>”Can do, Twilight.”
>Spike holds out the book he is carrying to her.
>She accepts it with her magical aura, moving it to the table in the corner of the room.
>”I’ll send those letters to Celestia. Don’t wait for me, I want to read some comics anyway. C’ya Anon.”
>You nod in his direction.
>”Well, if you’re moving fine let’s waste no time. We’ve a lot to do!”
>You are about as excited as she is. You are soon going to meet the mane six!
>Magic. You forgot all about it.
>You wonder whether or not you could use it. You’d have to ask someone about that.

>Twilight and you are walking through Ponyville. She decided to introduce you to Pinkie first.
>Some ponies stared, surprised. They relaxed though when their stares were greeted with Twilight’s wave and infectious smile.
>You opened up to her about your past life and what humans are like. You explained there is bad and good people in your old world. You talked of government's, corruption, religious wars, and technology.
>Twilight didn’t take all of the bad very well, but the technology sparked her interest. She had seen technology she didn’t understand in EQG, but you spoke grander. Airplanes, Computers, the internet, etc. amazed her.
>You tried to explain how each of them worked the best you could, but you admitted you didn’t understand how most if it worked exactly yourself.
>She didn’t seem bothered by the concept of electricity and accepted the fact your world is magicless.
>Now you are outside of Sugarcube Corner.

>Before you can even knock, Pinkie bursts through the door.
>“Are you excited because I’m nervouscited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I saw you two walking through town and,”
>Pinkie gasped.
>”And now you're here! Wait, I saw you two just a few minutes ago.”
>”Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie!” Holding out her hoof, she let out a squee.
>You took it and shook.
>Damn she is hyper. You shouldn’t have expected less of her.
>>
>>29408260
“Hi Pinkie, I’m Anon. I sorta recently just arrived here, and it-”
>”Is a long story - let me guess you’re from an alternate world which you think you died - but then you woke up here in Twilight’s castle?” Pinkie gasped for air again.
>Your jaw drops in awe. There’s no way she could have known all of that, unless Twilight told her; and the look on Twilight’s face said otherwise.
>You knew it is her Pinkie Sense, but you are still awestruck.
“How… Did you know all of that?”
>Inb4 she says just a hunch like in EQG.
>”Oh, just a hunch.”
>You hold back a cringe by smiling.
>She shows you around the bakery, talking about herself. You didn’t admit you already knew most of it.
>She handed both of you a few muffins during that time - which you filled up on. You’d have to eat real food sometime though.
>”Pinkie, I was thinking - You could throw anon a ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party, right?
>A party revolving around you sounded nice. You haven’t had one of those in a few years, or many parties at all really.
>“Wow! That sounds like a great idea! I’ll get planning right away- Don’t worry Anon, need not say a word. I’m the best party planner in all of Equestria!”
“Yeah, it does sound great. It would definitely help introduce me to the town.”
>”Right! Well, cya Twilight, I’ve got work to do!”

>You are back in the streets of Ponyville again.
>”I didn’t realise how long that would take.” Twilight yawns.
>”We should probably head back to the castle. I’ll have to introduce you to the rest of my friends tomorrow.”
>You agree with her, and you both head back to the castle.
>She shows you to your new room, which was the guest room before you arrived.
>You sigh. You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow.
>You lay in bed, and shut your eyes.
>>
>>29407983
Wait wait wait, unlisted now blocks access even with direct link? wut?

>Goes to test with one of my greens
Nope, logged out and went on other devices and i could see the unlisted paste with direct link just fine
Be sure to put 'unlisted' instead of 'private' fâm, cause it s working just fine

Here s a working unlisted one-shot example http://pastebin.com/2ZG4sn19

>>29406644
And since i m posting already may as well answer this
I dont write on my language then translate, that d be hell, the real problem are the concordance issues on the phrasing from the different languages, sometimes having to add extra lines to give more depth or removing the somewhat redundant ones, which can affect the next lines and then...well, you got it

By the way, nice double dubs, checked
>>
>>29408272
So I'm just retarded, no surprise there. Thanks for the advice, the paste is set back to unlisted.
>>
>>29408269
>As soon as you are asleep, you are awoken. It sounds like someone lit a firecracker in your room.
>”Heeelllooo Anon! You sir have been making quite the progress.”
“AHHH”
>You shoot up out of your bed falling face-first into the floor.
>”Tsk tsk tsk Anon. You shouldn’t be making a fool of yourself in front of company.”
>That voice…
>Discord.
”Wha- What are you doing here?”
>You stand up, rubbing your face. You’re nose was bleeding.
”Fuck, that hurts. C’mon man, it’s late”
>”Oh don’t get messy on me Anon. Here.”
>Discord snaps his talons. Immediately the pain and bleeding stops.
>You no longer were fatigued either.
“Um, thanks. What do you want Discord?”
>”Oh, nothing in particular. I just want to ask a few questions and maybe help you in return.”
>Oh fuck, you just realised you are actually face-to-face with Discord. He was practically a god.
>He also said he would help you if you answer some questions. Don’t fuck this one up.
“So, what do you want to know then?”
>Discord grins. “Wait, I think we should discuss this in a place more proper.”
>He snaps his talons again. In a flash of light, you are taken someplace else.
>You are sitting in a chair, and Discord is in a couch. The floor is green, with a strange design without a pattern to it.
>The seats we are sitting in are floating as well.
>”Now, that’s considerably better. Welcome to my place of dwelling!”
>You remember seeing his house in the show, and thought the unfortunate mailpony. You look out the window next to the door, seeing nothing but black void as you expected.
>Snapping his talons, he summons a floating teapot and glasses and pours tea into each, floating one over to you.
>”Alright, let us get to business. I’m not going to burden you with you explaining how you got here, I already know. No, I want to know something else.
>He took a sip of his tea, as did you.
>>
>>29408513
>Wait. He said he already knew. Was he spying on you?
>”I know you’re of a world of such great chaos. I’d like to see some of that in you.”
>”But wait, that's not it either. Do you know why you’re here exactly?”
“Well, no. Not really. I believe I died in my old universe, and came here. I don’t understand why, or how, it happened. I’m not even certain of my purpose here.”
>”Well you see, that's the formidable thing about chaos - It has no purpose!” Discord exclaimed with a grin. “And that is exactly your purpose here. Oh, and I suppose you deserve to know part of the truth.”
>What truth? You have no idea what he’s getting at.
“What do you mean? Are you saying I am here just because of no reason?”
>”Well I suppose that’s not entirely true. You see, being the being of chaos that I am, I decided to have a little fun.” He snaps his talons.
>A large projection appeared in front of you. It showed what once was your apartment. You gasp.
“You taken me here, didn’t you? Are you insane?”
>”Well to answer the latter, yes. Oh. The first question, yes, too. But come now. Please don’t tell me you enjoyed your life before.”
>The projection zooms in on you, showing you sitting in a chair at your computer. Past you then had a heart attack. Then you died. Your body disappeared.
“Wait. Why did I disappear after I die?”
>”Well, when I plucked you out of your world, the magic of mine affected reality in a strange way in that dimension. A dimension where magic couldn’t exist. So, it affected time. In that timeline, you were never born, and I never plucked you from that universe. So don’t worry, your family won’t miss you.”
>Your family actually didn’t really care about you, and you don’t really care much about them. You honestly didn’t think much about them since you arrived.
"I'm not even mad... Actually, thank you, Discord. I don't think I could ever repay you for the favor you have done me."
>"Well, actually you see, you can. I want to ask one more thing of you,"
>>
>>29408482
I have a question though, why keep all your greens unlisted?
I often look thru an writer paste to see what older greens can interest me but since its all unlisted...
>>
>>29408762
Sometimes writers aren't proud of what they write
>>
>>29408869
Which shouldn't be a problem because it is all anonymous right?
>>
>>29408912
Well when its on a paste it s linked to you one way or the other, but >>29408869 did raise a good point, as weird as it may seem, still if ya dont like it just change some of it later

>Writefags
>Editing old greens
>Ever
>>
>>29409012
So maybe the point of keeping the paste unlisted is as Rite said
Unlisting could be the way of keeping each green unique for each thread as Anon, and linked to that story only
>>
>>29408762
Well this is currently my only story, so there's nothing else to sift through. You're right though, I love seeing what else a person has written. Public: On and staying on.
>>
>>29408757
“Wait Discord… Before you ask. I’d like to ask something. Why me?”
>”Hmm. Lets just say you were the most desirable candidate. Your knowledge of a particular show also is a bonus.”
>Oh wow, he knows about the cartoon. You wonder what else he knew about…
>”Don’t worry, I won’t tell somepony about any of these ‘fetishes’ of yours.” He pulls out of his pocket an expanding array of photos, which continues to fall until it hits the floor.
>You embarrassingly blush. Holy fuck that’s awkward.

>He snaps his paw-fingers-thing of his other hand, and the photos disappear.
>”I don’t even care, I actually find it quite amusing! Such strange taste.”
>”Alright now, down to business.”
>A golden amulet, with a stylish ‘D’ hanging from it, appears around your neck.
>“This amulet will allow you to summon me any time when worn, just say my name.”
>”Don’t abuse it though. I’ll only use it when you need help. I do understand your predicament with the lack any sort of magic. And I cannot just simply give magic to you.”
“Aren’t you basically a god though?”
>”Oh believe me, I tried. You’d cause far more chaos with it. I believe it is tied to your origin. But for now, I expect you to do that on your own. Do not let me down.”
>”Be seeing you, Anon. Ta ta!”
>Another flash of light brought you back to your bedroom.

>You fall into your bed. Sunlight just began to creep through the windows.
>You take off the amulet, and put it into the pocket of your jeans.
>You realised you haven’t showered in awhile, you probably didn’t smell the grandest.
>Heading out of your room, you smell food. Your stomach growls.
>You found your way to the kitchen, which you found spike standing up on a stool cooking breakfast.
>”Mornin’, Anon. Just cooking breakfast. Made you some pancakes.”
>That’s pretty nice of him.
“Thanks Spike. Say, does this castle have a shower?”
>”Um well duh. You think we just roll around in our filth? C’mon, I’ll show ya!”
>Spike flips the last pancake and moves it to the
>>
>>29409125
Oh fuck. Might as well do another update.

...rest of the bunch. He hops off the stool.
>”Oh, good morning Anon. Hope you rested well, because we have a big day ahead of us.”
>Twilight yawns, and walks into the middle of the kitchen.
>”Just about to show Anon to the bathroom.”
>”Wait, hold on. I’ve got some clothes for you, Anon.”
>She leaves for a moment to just come back with some clothes, levitating it with a magical magenta aurora matching her horn.
>”Rarity, a friend of mine, made these for you. I sorta took some measurements when you were knocked out.”
>She levitates them over to you, so you grab and examine them.
>Wow, these look expensive. And nice. A black suit and pants which matches your shoes.
“These are amazing, Twilight. Tell Rarity she has my thanks, and that I’d like to meet her sometime.”
>”Oh, you’ll actually be meeting all my friends at once, when Celestia arrives. They’d love to meet you”
>”Alright Anon. Follow me.”
>You follow Spike through a few crystal hallways which held entrance to a dozen different rooms. You wonder why this Castle had so much space, when they barely use a quarter of it.
>”Here we are! You know how to work a shower, right?”
“Yeah, that’s no problem. Thanks Spike.”
>”No problemo, just what friends do”
>Just a day and Spike already considers you a friend. It’s not like you talked to him much at all during that time.
>>
>>29409154
>Spike nods, then heads off.
>The bathroom looks just what you would expect in a normal bathroom, just everything's shorter to compensate for the size of the ponies. The ceiling was insanely high though, like in the rest of the castle.
>You close the door behind you.
>You sit the clothes on the counter, strip, and step in the shower.
“Okay Anon. Let’s see which knob is which.”
>You wonder how ponies turn these things.
>You start out slow on twisting knob, which in return sends water raining down upon you.
“OH FUCK THAT BURNS!”
>You jump out of the shower, and carefully reach over to twist the other knob. You think a colder shower was in order after that.
>You feel the water this time.
>Good enough.
>You step into the shower, the cool water counteracting the burn.
>Turns out the only soap they have smells like lavender, which bothers you. Just shampoo too, likely because ponies are completely covered in hair. Or fur. Same difference.
>After you are done showering, you dry yourself off with a towel. To your luck there are a few folded ones in the cabinets.
>You look yourself over in the mirror. Yeah, sexy as usual. At least you thought so. You will be soon getting all the mares. You’d do your dead daddy proud.
>You slip on the suit, and adjust the red clip-on tie. You found some scissors, and trimmed up your hair and beard a bit. Not too shabby.
>You decided to just leave the hair all over the sink, she shouldn’t be too mad.
>Okay, nevermind. You’d better clean it up.
>After doing that you found yourself back in the kitchen. Twilight and Spike sat, finishing up their pancakes.
>You join them at the table.
>”Here, I’ve been keeping them warm for ya.” Spike pushes the plate over to you.
>“Just used a little bit of fire.”
>He turns his head, demonstrating by blowing out a wave of fire.
>“Pretty cool, huh?”
>>
>>29409403
>You nod. You grab your fork. You guess ponies can just touch stuff and somehow with their willpower pick things up. Nothing unheard of in magical candy-ass pony land.
>Oh man, these pancakes are good. Like, really good.
“Damn Spike, these are excellent. Good job bro.”
>”Thanks… Not sure what you mean by ‘damn’ though.”
“Oh, it just means they’re excellent in my world”
>”Cool! I think I might start saying that.”
>You look over at Twilight, who doesn’t seem to care. Huh, damn must not be a word here or something.
>She finishes eating, levitating off her plate.
>Spike’s plate is stacked tall with Pancakes. That kid has quite the appetite.
>You finish your pancakes, and lean back in your chair.
“That was bitchin’, Spike! Thanks again.”
>He looks at you funny.
“Oh, it means excellent too.”
>Actually true this time. You should be careful, you don’t know which words are in this world. >Wouldn’t want to leave a bad impression on others and you should set a good example for Spike. Twilight wouldn’t be happy finding him swearing.
>“Hey Anon, there’s somepony here to see you!” Twilight calls.
>You stand up.
“Do me a solid and get this for me?”
>”Oh, yeah. Sure.”
>You thank him and leave.

Urchin changed the whole climax and ending of Games Lords Play. The original had Anon beating the shit out of Celestia after she turned him down. His ring broke and he changelings took him back to their hive to execute him after killing Chryssi. He convinced them to make him their leader so that they could survive just how she wanted then he returned to Equestria as a wrinkled old man in control of an empire.

Intro sounds a lot like the one from
Tonic the dragon
>>
>>29411296
I was waiting for someone to catch that.
Thought the banana thing was mine tho
>>
>>29409446
>Wow. She is beautiful.
>Being about six feet tall, you stand nearly as tall as Celestia, excluding her horn. Her mane waves and sparkles mystically just like it did in the show.
>You sorta stare at her a little more than what’s socially acceptable. She didn't really seem to mind though.
>Twilight offers both of you a seat. As you sit down you notice more eyes are on you rather than Celestia. That sorta makes you nervous.
>You take one right next to Celestia, you two sitting adjacent from each other in the map room. The all of the mane six sit in their own chair, smiling at you.
>Soon your gaze was met with another pony, who you recognized as Starlight Glimmer.
>Too bad Godbro was going to ascend her to an alicorn in season seven.

>You wanted to ask each of them many questions, but it seems they were going to let Sunbutt speak first.
>"Good morning, Anon. And hello to all of you. If you didn’t already know, I'm Princess Celestia. Twilight has told me much about you and your past, but I’d like to hear more about it from you. So tell me, how do you think you arrived here?”
>You admit, those eyes intimidated you. So large and beautiful. You could stare into those for days.
>”Well… I believe I had a heart attack. I was soon after taken to this world. Not much I can add to that.”
>You think about how Discord admitted to pulling you here. You weren’t going to bust him for that, you didn’t know what they would do.
>”Well, that’s a shame. Do you like it in this world, because I believe I could get you back to yours if you wanted?“
>Fuck that, your world sucked. No way in hell you were going back.
“No, I like it here. I didn’t amount to much back in my old world, and I’d like to try to start over here. Everyo-pony is happy, plus my race isn’t trying to kill each other over over opinions.”
>Celestia’s expression didn’t change, but some of the others did.
>>
>>29411523
>”Why, that’s just simply TERRIBLE! Are you saying your own kind would do so much as kill each other over a few disagreements?” spoke a flabbergasted Rarity.
>Now you were making your race look murderous and bad. Good job, Anon on giving a good impression.

“No no no, just the evil brown ones… Mankind otherwise is a mostly happy and stable place, in fact it functions mostly like this world. Well, except for magic.”
>You humans didn’t need magic when you had WMDs and guns. A few nukes and those Japs chilled the fuck out.
>Celestia spoke again. “Well I hope you’re able to find your place in this world, Anon. You’re the only human this world has, and I hope you’re comfortable living with that fact. I know humans are talented, in fact, they can excel in anything they put their mind to, so I have no doubts you will find your place in this world.”
>That brought up some thoughts in your head again. What would your purpose be? Discord said your purpose was basically for his amusement and chaos. You didn’t exactly want to cause any more trouble than you had to.
>”I think somepony had a little hand in all of this though… I’ll have to look into that some other time. I’m terribly sorry for the short visit, but I’ve matters to attend to. Good luck Anon, and fare thee well, my little ponies. I’ll be sure to visit again soon.”
>With that, she teleported off. You knew she was talking about Discord. You wonder if that’s where she went.

>”That was shorter than expected. That’s fine though, Celestia is a busy mare. So Anon, I’d like to introduce you to my friends.”
>Pinkie Pie started to bounce in her seat. “To my left is Rarity, to my right is Fluttershy, to the left of Fluttershy is Rainbow Dash, and to the left of Rarity is Applejack, and of course I’m Pinkie! But you already know that.”
>”Wow, um, thanks, Pinkie. I’m sure they might want to introduce themselves, though.”
>”Oh, yeah… My bad.” She stops bouncing.
>>
>>29411832

>”I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in all of Equestria!” She smirks and kicks out her wings.
>Wow, top cunt in all of her glory. You need to knock her down a few pegs some day.
>”I’m Fluttershy. Twilight told me you were nice, and so I wouldn’t mind to be your friend.”
>She smiled weakly. You return that smile and reassure her.
“I’d love to be your friend, Fluttershy. I’ll need all I can get in this new life.”
>”That would be nice… Anon. Maybe we all could get together and do something sometime.”

>Then the background pony introduced herself, nothing real interesting.
>Now Rarity introduced herself. You didn’t forget to thank Rarity for the clothes she made you.
>”Actually Anon, I’ve prepared some more for you. I figure there isn’t going to be much of anything you can wear here in Equestria, so I knew you would need a few different outfits.”
>She used her magic to levitate over to you three suitcases, sitting them down right in front of you.
>That’s actually really cool of her, right in her element.
“That’s really nice of you Rarity, and thanks for taking your time to introduce yourselves, all of you.”
>”Oh it’s nothing darling, just happy to help a friend in need.”

>”I’m Starlight Glimmer, Princess Twilight’s student.” She smiled at you.
>You realised Twilight didn’t exactly tell you very much about herself. You shouldn’t know she’s the Princess of Friendship yet.
“Oh Twilight… I didn’t know you were a princess.” You lied.
>”Well, yes, the Princess of Friendship. But please, just call me Twilight.”
“That’s pretty cool, Twi… So, how did you all come to be friends, and what’s the story behind all of you becoming friends?”
>You were going to have to listen to the mane six and the other ponies tell their tale.
>You didn’t mind, though. It was pretty exciting to hear it from them instead of the show.
>They go through the Sonic Rainboom that brought them all together, being Elements of Harmony, villains, reformations. etc.
>>
>>29411859
>They each add their own pieces together to make up the grand tale.
>You sit intently listening to all they had to say. Seems that Glim Glam was doing just the same, until the story caught up to her part.
>She sits with an awkward smile, embarrassed.
>”But she’s a good pony now, and learned from her mistakes, like we all have.” Twilight was reassuring her more than you.
>”Yes, and Twilight’s teaching me the value of friendship. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for her.”

>The ponies say their farewells and leave the castle, except for Applejack.
>”You’re welcome anytime at Sweet Apple Acres Anon, remember that. Ah’ve got to get back to the farm, I don’t need Granny Smith worryin’ bout me.”
>With that, just you and Twilight are left in the room.

>>"It's ok if you can't do magic, Anon."
>>"You are just a human after all."
>>"Nobody expects anything out of you."
>>"Just leave the hero work to us. We'll bring you back a souvenir."

If that happened to me I wouldn't get depressed. I would get angry. And I would try to make source of my anger - magic - disappear.

Like paying changlings to put their anti-magical-thrones in every big city, or letting Tirek out of Tartarus and cloning him in mirror pool. Or putting bombs in places where unicorns can learn magic (like universities, libraries). Or poisoning their wells with horn flu bacteria.
>>

Anon gets a red lantern ring green when?
>>
>>29411896
>She rises from her seat, and walks up to you.
>”Anon, if you’d like I could show you around town some more.”
>You want to meet some background ponies, particularly Lyra and Bonbon. It’s not like you would know much about their lives anyway, so that would be pretty fun.
>You wonder if ponies could ever be attracted to humans, otherwise you would be one lonely fuck for the rest of your life.
>Nothing changes if the answer is no. Well, at least you would have friends.
>Her cutie mark begins to flash.
>Fuck. You know what that means. You look over at the map, and two cutie marks had just appeared levitating over a part of the map, the other belonging to Ponk.
>She explained the map to you earlier.

>”I’m sorry, Anon. I’ll try to be back as soon as possible.”
>Awesome, now you are just going to sit on your ass.
>Well, this would be a good time to read up on Equestrian History or something.
>Books. The first day you arrived.
“Hold on Twilight, didn’t Spike say he found a book about my kind? Human’s were in Equestria?”
>She didn’t expect a question like that.
>”Yes, actually. Not much is known about humans in this universe. but your kind died long before Luna’s banishment, believed to be right before Discord was overthrown. Not many humans seemed to exist in Equestria to begin with. We assume they came through a portal sometime ago."
“Mind if I take a look at that book?”
>”Of course not. It should be in the Library on the table in the center of the room.”
“Thanks Twilight.”

>You make your way to the Library, until you realize you have no idea where it is.
>You turn around and navigate to Spike’s room. He sits in his bed with an open comic book.
“Yo Spike, could you take me to the library? I’d like to do some reading up on Equestrian History.”
>He looks up from his comic.
>“Sure thing Anon. Right this way!”
>Tossing the comic to the side, he shoots up out of his bed, leading you to the library.
>>
>>29413574

>The library is impressive.
>There is an infinite pool of knowledge in front of you, all at your disposal.
>You thank Spike and he nods, heading off.
>You quickly find the table she was talking about. On top of it sits an open book.
>You turn it over. The front reads ‘Brief History of Equestria’. You return to the page in the book that was open. The chapter is labeled ‘Creatures of 100 BC’.
>As far as you know there is no Jesus in this world. You bet BC meant Before Celestia.
>From here you flip through a few pages. To your luck everything seems to be no different from your written English.

>There you are. Humans.
>’Humans are thought to be descendants from the great apes, thought to be possibly thousands of years evolved down the line… Not much was ever recorded about their existence. Not many humans are known to have existed.'
>You turn to the next page.
>'The few humans that did appeared near the end of the reign of chaos. They were driven mad soon after they were discovered.'
>That is strange. You scan the entire page. Nothing more about humans.
>Humans disappeared sometime before then and the end of Discord’s rule.
>He must have played a role somehow.
>What would cause an entire race to disappear?

>”Reading about humans, I presume?”
>You jump out of your seat at the sound of Discord’s voice.
>Holy fuck. Your heart is racing.
“Damn Discord, you need to quit your shit.”
>”Don’t be such a sourpuss, Anon. I’m actually here to help you. Wouldn’t you think the oldest being in all of Equestria should know a thing or two?”
>He appears in a chair sitting across from you, wearing reading glasses.

>”Ooh, almost forgot,” Discord snaps his talons.
>The necklace he gave you before appears on the table.
>”You shouldn’t be leaving this just anywhere, silly.”
>Oh, you did leave it in your clothes, didn’t you?
>Wait.
>Eww, the sick fuck was watching you.
“Don’t you find it a little intrusive to watch someone shower?”
>>
>>29413750
>”No, come now. I would never do such a thing. But I did notice you didn’t have it on you.”
>He leans towards you.
>”Alright, back to business.”
>Discord snaps his talons. In a flash a book, black and worn with age, appears in his hands, about an inch thick.
>He opens it up and flicks through a few pages.
>“Yes… yes. I want you to read this. Don’t worry, not all of it. I've bookmarked a few of the more interesting pages. To you at least.”
>He flips to the first bookmarked section, and teleports the book in front of you.
“Um, thanks, Discord.”
>You knew he’d ask something of you sooner or later.
>You put the amulet into your pocket.

>”Well I’ll be off then. Good reading, Anon!”
>In a bright flash of light, Discord vanishes.
>Asshole. That hurts your damn eyes.
>You sigh as your vision recovers.
>You look at the page and begin to read.
>’This book contains a /very/ brief history me, during my rule of Equestria. It should provide you some insight on humans from my perspective, Anon.’
>You flip to the next page he has bookmarked.
>’ ...This other dimension. Oh, quite the chaos. Very destructive and odd creatures too. They seem to be mostly intelligent, but just not enough to not kill each other over this thing they call ‘God’... Yes they are quite peculiar. I think I might grab a few hundred thousand of them and give them their own continent.’
>You turn the page.
>’ ...They didn’t react well to being ripped from their dimension. I decided to recreate what they had known from their world. About medieval times I believe.’
>’I shown myself to them, causing a bit of chaos here and there. To my surprise they began to worship me like a deity.’
>’Oh, and how annoying it was! Every day they would pray, asking for rain for their crops, yada yada…’
>’I left them for a few hundred years. Just to watch them. Many began to worship the sun and the moon…’
>>
>>29413827
>’Long story short, more people decided to find this ‘new world' '
>’One day, a fleet of a few hundred ships arrived with one intention: to conquer the land.’
>’ ...They were going to slaughter the natives with their fancy weapons.’
>’I’m not completely heartless, you know. Once I realized what they were doing I put a stop to it.’

>You turn to the last bookmarked section of the book.
>’My magic sustained them, but it also destroyed them. Upon my imprisonment in stone, my magic no longer could keep their lands risen. The entire continent sank, and it’s sad to say, killing all of them.’
>’All that was left of the humans were the few hundred from that incident before. I made them docile enough to not go about slaughtering the ponies, but the chaos my reign brought to the land driven them mad.’
>’Celestia and Luna felt remorse for the broken creatures, and polymorphed them all into ponies, or at least they tried.’
>’They became centaurs, the magic corrupting them even further. Unable to fix the bunch, Celestia and Luna were left no choice but to seal all of them up in Tartarus.’
>You turn the page. The rest of the book is full of blank pages.
>You flip through the book. Wait, in fact, all of the pages are now blank.
>You heard a voice in your ear. “Don’t tell anyone, Anon. Wouldn’t want somepony to get the idea I brought you here, due to my history with your kind.”
>You flinch hella hard, your knees hitting under the table.
“Ouch… Fuck. Goddamnit Discord. Get out of my ear.”
>”One more thing Anon,”
>A scroll appears in front of you, replacing the book.
>”Use this information wisely. Goodbye!”
>You rub your knees. Why did Discord have to pull that shit?
>You stand up, and grab the scroll.
>You unroll it.
>It's a map of Everfree.

>Why would Discord give you this? You look over the map.
“Ah.”
>An area on the map is circled in red ink.
>The map gave no clue to what you would find there. The forest is dangerous, and it would be very unwise of you to try to go there on your own. Why would Discord want you to go there?
>You’d have to convince someone to come with you.
>You realize how defenseless you are.
>No magic. No weapons. Nothing.
>You couldn’t even begin to create any useful weapons from your world. You could probably make simple shit like bows and crossbows but nothing else.
>Reality hit you.
>You could be the strongest human to ever exist, and still not beat Earth pony magic.
>You can’t fly. You are even more useless than an Earth pony.
>How are you going to make a living? What purpose do you have in this world?
>Maybe you could find a cute mare who accepts you’re of another species.
>You two could have your own store, and sell various trinkets.
>No. You didn’t want that. No mare is ever going to find you attractive either. A horsefucker, in the land of horses, but not one you will be able to fuck.
>You will have no legacy, or children to carry that legacy on if you did.
>You need a purpose. You would do anything to find it.
>You sit back down, and lean back in the chair, still grasping the map.
>You thought of all those greens you read.
>Do you even realize where you’ve made it? Why did your story have to be the one where you’re completely useless.
>Why couldn’t you be transformed into a unicorn?
>Discord had to have been bullshitting you on that.
>You thought back to EQG, and how Twilight became human.
>Yeah, she became human! Then back to being a pony.
>You going through the portal should make you a pony. But wait, what if you became a pony there, and when you traveled back, you’re just human again?
>Fucking hell. There is no hope.

>You need to suck it up. You aren’t going to get anywhere with this attitude.
>You’re going to ask Twilight if she could make you a unicorn. Wait.
>No. You're Not forsaking this human body yet. You would be losing what made you, well you.
>You will find a way to fit in.
>You look back down at the map, and ponder it’s purpose.
>Nah. No fucking idea. Dammit Discord, be straight for once.
>Might as well make something of this day. You couldn’t show up at any ponies house, that would be fucking weird.
>It wasn't just because you're a creature nopony's seen before.
>You need that party to happen.
>Oh yeah, you shouldn’t forget about those clothes Rarity made you too.
>You roll up the map, and stand up. You need to grab those suitcases and put these things up in your room.
>After that it looks like you’re hanging out with Spike.

>”Hey, the Power Ponies are pretty cool. Twilight, her friends, and I were sucked into the comic once, and actually became them!”
“Yeah, that’s interesting and all, but I don’t really like comic books.”
>”Come on, you’re not even going to ask what happened?”
>Think of a save Anon. You don't want to hear that episode with Spike’s glorification hammered in.
“Um, I’m pretty sure Twilight told me about that. Didn’t all seven of you get sucked into that comic book at Celestia and Luna’s old castle?”
>”Oh… I guess she did.” Spike shrugs.
>“There’s still a lot of cool stuff we could do!”
“Like?”
>”We can go hang out with Rarity!” Spike grins enthusiastically.
>Eww, fuck that. You didn't want to be her bitch with Spike all day.
>Oh, you just remembered.
“That sounds like a great idea, but I’m pretty sure the map table thing called for Twilight and Rarity to leave.”
>Didn’t she say anything to Spike before she left?
>”Really? That stinks.” Spike frowns.
>“That's it! I planned on picking up a few comic books from the Ponyville Marketplace. I could probably get you something too.”

“That would be pretty cool of you Spike, but don’t you think ponies might freak out because of me?”
>His grin turns back to a frown.
”Whatever, they needed to see me sooner or later. What’ya say, Spike?”
>”Let’s do it.”
>Damn it Spike no homo.

>Spike is leading you through the marketplace. Nopony seems to run away at the sight of you. It is actually very surreal.
>Ponyville Marketplace is bustling with activity. You’re surprised you don’t stick out like a sore thumb, standing two feet taller than most ponies.
>You and Spike approach the comic book stand. Well, there’s one almost nervous looking face.
>An orange unicorn stallion in his twenties greets you.
>”Oh, hello sir. How can I help ya?” His eyes meet yours, giving you an uncertain smile.
>You give him the most reassuring one you can.
“Oh, I’m just here with my pal, Spike.”
>”How ya doing, Almond? Just here for the latest issue of the Power Ponies.”
>Almond visually relaxes some at the sight of Spike.
>”Oh, hello Spike! Nothing grand, just business as usual.”
>He reaches under his desk stand and grabs a comic book wrapped in plastic.
>Ponies must have petroleum or something.
>”You’re in luck, the shipment just arrived today! It’s yours for five bits.”
>”I’ll take it!” Spike begins to fish out the dough from his pockets.
>How the does that even work? It's not like he is wearing any clothes.
>Whatever, cartoon logic.
>Almond smiles at you.
>“Don’t think I’ve ever seen you or your kind around here. Or ever, really. What’s your name? I’m Almond, if you haven’t already gathered.”

>This is going pretty well. Too well, people should be fleeing in terror.
>Try not to fuck this one up too much.
“Name’s Anon, I’m from someplace pretty far from here. It’s a long story, but I found myself in Equestria and made my way to Ponyville.”
>>
>>29416456
>That seems to have done something for him.
>”Ah yes, quite the name. Nothing I’ve really heard of before.”
>Spike sits the bits up on the counter and Almond slides the comic book over to him.
>”Thanks for doing business with you. Well Anon, I hope you find Ponyville to be most hospitable.”
>You two give him your farewells and head to the center of the marketplace.
>”That wasn’t so bad, huh Anon. I think you’ll do just fine here.”

>”So tell me,” he chirps while setting the stove on. “How fast did it work? Was it instant or was there a delay? Was it flashy or did you just suddenly become sober? How sober, even? Like sober enough you think you’re ok to drive but not really sober, or like haven’t had a drink all day sober?”
“Instant, sort of flashy, and no alcohol all day.”
>”Do you still have the spell?”
“Yes. I have it locked in a chest back at my castle where nobody can find it.”
>His beard shifts as a grin stretches underneath it.
>The man hops over the piles of books and fetches two crude mugs from the countertop beside his stove.
>Quickly, he reenters the room and takes point next to a small coffee table beside the large red chair.
>”Shit, you need a seat too. Um, hold on. Turn around.”
“Why?”
>”Because I said so. It’s my house.”
>That makes sense.
>You should go watch the tea anyway.
>This human stove of his works fast. You’ve always wanted to deconstruct it, but he’s made a point of never letting you near his stuff with a wrench.
>Something about destroying the remnants of his civilization.
>You’d put it back together for sure, so there’s nothing to worry about.
>As you near it, you can see that the water has already begun to boil.

“Wait, how did that get there?”

“Your people never cease to amaze me. Even without magic, you can accomplish so much.”
>”Funny you should mention that,” he says and begins making odd movements with his hands.
>Oh, is this more of his “sign language”?
>Let’s see if you can decipher it.
>So the pouring gesture likely translates to the amount of happiness that pours from him when you’re around.

This felt like a lot more than 3 posts while I was writing it. Fug. Anyway, I guess I'll have more by Tuesday. On second thought, since I always seem to be a day late, let's say I'll have more on Monday. Then things should even out. Yeah, this will work. I'll see you guys on "Monday".

Also kudos to the new writefag keeping the thread alive.

Really hope that didnt went past Twiggles head, along with Anon's curiosity with this one spell, which was more generalized for the rest previously
>>
>>29419400
"My spell" could mean "spell that I gave you" in this context; Twilight have no reason to look for a deeper meaning.
>>
>>29419625
He could just have used 'the' instead of 'my' there and the phrase would still be exactly the same
Still calling it on that one
>>
>>29420099
I think that you're biased to think that Twilight will get what Anon meant by saying "my spell", because you already know what he meant.

Going to repost part of this edited a tad.

>This is going pretty well. Too well, actually. People should be fleeing in terror.
>Try not to fuck this one up too much.
“Name’s Anon, I’m from someplace pretty far from here. It’s a long story, but I found myself in Equestria and made my way to Ponyville.”
>He thinks for a moment then smiles.
>”Ah yes, quite the name. Nothing I’ve really heard of before.”
>Spike sits the bits up on the counter and Almond slides the comic book over to him.
>”Thanks for doing business with you. Well Anon, I hope you find Ponyville to be most hospitable.”
>You two give him your farewells and head to the center of the marketplace.
>”That wasn’t so bad, huh Anon? I think you’ll do just fine here.”
“Yeah, it’s actually pretty weird.”

>”How’s that? I think that went pretty well.”
“No, not that. Just yesterday everypony was freaking out, and now they are all chill about it.”
>”Ponyville’s seen some pretty crazy creatures. You don’t look very crazy. It’s not like you seem very strong or dangerous either.”
>Coming from the purple midget dragon.
“Wow, thanks Spike.”

>”No problem! Hey look, jewelry half off. I could probably pick up something for Rarity!”
>Spike rushes over to where he seen the sign, leaving you where you stand.
>Poor Spike. Kid at least tries.
>You decide to walk to avoid looking retarded.
>The sign leads to a small purple tent, sort of like something you’d see at a carnival.
>Inside you find Spike browsing.
>Several tables and a variety of different types of jewelry are about the room.
>A wrinkly old mare stands behind her display.
>”You will find my jewelry to be of the finest quality I assure you, and remember, it is half off!”
>You walk up to Spike, the mare noticing you enter.
>”Oh. Hello… You’re the new human in town aren’t you? I’m Ellipse. Can’t say I’ve seen your kind before.”
>She knows you’re human?
“Wait, how’d you know that?”

>>29420836
>”Well, I was pulling my cart through Ponyville and some pink mare looked to be setting up a party in town square. I asked what for and she said something along the lines of ‘to introduce some ape looking human from far away’ then she gave a flier to me and about every other pony in town. And you look like a monkey.”
>That actually explains everything, apart from being called a monkey. Wait, apes aren’t monkeys. You don’t ever remember seeing either in the show.
>Not like you ever seen yourself in the show either, for all you know you’re now apart of it.
“You have that flier still?”
>She pulls a pink flier from under the display. “Just keep it, I won’t be in Ponyville for it anyhow. If there’s anything I can help you with let me know.”
“Thanks.”
>You examine the flier.
>’Super Dooper Mega Awesome Ponyville Get-Together! Located in the town square tomorrow night… Plenty of food, all is welcome!’
>Damn, she was fast. You’re kinda glad it looks like you will just be introduced during the event, not the CENTER of it.
>”Hey Anon, check out this necklace. Isn’t it pretty?”
>Spike holds out a silver necklace with an opal gem and gold encrusted around it.
“Yeah… Looks pretty expensive.”
>”It is, but it's half off. Only fifty bits! Rarity will love it.”
>Whew he was in deep. You feel pretty bad for him.
“I’m sure she will.”
>Spike painstakingly pulls out and counts exactly fifty bits. Goddammit Spike.
>”Fourty-Nine… and Fifty! Here you go, ma’am!”

Story is going too slow. Going to kick into maximum overdrive
>>
>>29407374
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna come out and say it: this story's anon is an absent-minded psychopathic turbo-autist with no redeeming qualities.

> Constantly zones out during conversations
> Literally stumbles into things
> Single-minded focus on acquiring a sweet katana literally mutilating other characters
> Says the exact same retarded things in the exact same order to two different characters

I can't enjoy this. It was passable for anon to go off the wall with Twilight but then the same-as-the-original sequel says this isn't going anywhere.
>>
>>29421279
That's fine, the story can't be enjoyable for everyone. Anon is whoever/whatever you make him, and in this scenario I've decided to write him as a character with some pretty fucked-up flaws, along with other minor issues. The prompt does basically call for it, really. There's no other way to spin it as a good thing.

Food for thought: I'm keeping tabs on Sea Urchin's story, and it's clear Anon is a massive twat. Despite that, I still love the story because of the events and how it's told.

If you have any other issues with my story, such as grammar/flow/punctuation, please let me know.

Changing that to evening. All of this is fixed in the pastebin.

>You and Spike thank the woman and leave.
>You’re pretty hungry, and this suit is pretty hot. The perfect combination for nausea.
>You need to get this thing off soon.
”Know any good places to eat?”
>Spike thought for a moment. “Oh yeah, we can try the Hay Burger. I bet there’s some food you will like!”
“Stellar.”

>The diner looks like, well. A diner.
>You and spike sit at a booth while a waiter comes up to take your order.
>No terrified looks yet, just some curious staring.
>It not that it pisses you off any, but you want to yell at them to mind their own fucking business.
>Oh look, your foods here.
>Spike digs in while you eyeball your hay burger.
>Fries taste normal. Now for the burger…
>Nope, taste like fucking hay. You spit it out in disgust.
>You rake your tongue for stray pieces of it. It’s all up in your teeth, too.
>Even more ponies are staring now.
>You give them the finger, they stare even more confused. Whatever.
>”You not like hay?”
“Human’s don’t eat grass.”
>Spike shrugs.
>You take all the hay off the burger and just eat the bread, lettuce, and tomato, then finish up your fries.
>Thanking him, Spike pays for your meals and you two leave.
>You tell Spike you want to just go back to the castle and study up on Equestrian History some more.
>You two make it back to the castle, and judging by the position of the sun, it’s around four PM, assuming if time would be the same.

>You head up to your room and check those clothes Rarity made you.
>You dump all of the suitcases’ content onto your bed. Shorts and a tee, socks… A pair of stylish white shoes… Sick, she made you a hoodie. Time to go thuggin’ around the streets of Ponyville.
>On a second thought, it was too hot for that. You’ll do that tomorrow night.

>You still need more to wear, and some underwear. Actually, you could probably run around naked and no one would bat an eye, except for maybe Twilight and Spike, who’ve seen humans.
>You notice your old clothes clean and folded on your dresser. Oh, Spike must have washed them for you. Spike’s moving up on the totem pole.
>You strip and switch into that tee and shorts.
>Much better.
>You leave the suit on the floor and everything strung about your bed, and head out of your room for the library. Might as well try to learn about something you can’t use.
>Of course the library is huge. You might spend all day trying to find anything about magic, even if they were organized the same as your world.
>Nah fuck it, you’ll just ask Twilight about it later.

Because this Anon isn't in Equestria. He's insane.

That's how you make a pun, noobs.
>>
>>29423868
If I had to guess (I wasn't here for the start, jumped in recently) I'd say it was because the stories started with a prompt that was posted outside of AiE and nobody has really complained or pushed for the move to happen, so why bother?

For the same reason why Flutterrape isn't, or Pony Prison general, or Reversed Gender Roles, or My Little Progress: Technology Isn't Magic, or Age Ain't Nothing But A Number.

Welcome to 4chan.

This. I wouldn't mind joining AiE if we become too slow, though. I need to catch up on those threads too, I haven't checked them for months.
>>
>>29423929
staph

>>29424050
>why bother
As a writefag for another general (that I've been trying to move to AiE), I'd think a livelier thread would be more fun, plus views are gold to writefags. The more they get the more they want to write, which means more content.
I just think it would be enjoyable.

>>29424087
>We have enough writefags
>all the generals
Hardly, plus most of those should be condensed too. Why have 10 slow ass threads that last for like weeks, instead of a lively common thread? Like the old AiE threads, shit was cash.
>>
>>29424360
But there's the issue. Wrietfags like views and there's no guarantee a move to AiE would help. Why move yourself from a general where you know people like your stuff and its mere existence proves this and take it to a thread where you have to question yourself every post because nobody replies to you still, only now you don't have the existence of a general to validate you? Then you have to face that fact that, if it's an active thread and people DO get replies, you might not be the favorite. Everybody knows they're not the best, but being slapped in the face with it always sucks.
>>
>>29424378
I agree 100%, unless it was a mass migration. Moving one entire thread would just add that plus AiE, which is definitely more views.
Add another thread, and it compounds.

The outcome would be awesome, just the entire thing is unlikely.
>>
>>29424050
This is it, really. The past few or so threads were created only for two stories, one of which may be on hiatus. This subject really doesn't deviate from standard AiE enough to warrant its own thread, and I say this as someone who has absolutely no problem visiting each anon thread individually.
It makes more sense to just stick with the main AiE general.
>>
>>29424562
I vote we at least keep this running until sea urchin and maybe the guy making the monkey king story if he writes more soon finish their stories. I only ever follow a thread or general for one or two specific stories at a time, and don't like having to go through so much other stuff to get to what I'm looking for personally.

I don't like how this story is turning out. I laid out the framework for the story too early on to make any changes I'd love to make now. Considering scrapping the story and moving on to another thread.
>>
>>29426008
I know what you mean. Sometimes the framework of a story can be very oppressive. You just have to keep with it though. If it's becoming too daunting to move the story forward, take a break. That is, pick a segment and really draw it out. If done well, it will give you the break you need as well as add to the story. Maybe you could pick a theme for the story like light or water or friendship or anger or something and base it all around that to make writing fun. Sometimes thinking of places to add hints or symbolism are what can keep you going. You can do it, man.
>>
>>29426060
And on that note, I'm glad I inspired you to write in the first place. That means a lot, ritefriend.
>>
>>29426060
I really appreciate the advice... That actually helps quite a bit.
>take a break. That is, pick a segment and really draw it out.
That's exactly what I needed to hear. I've been thinking about this all wrong, way too linear.
Can't thank you enough.

“I have a better idea. I’ll tell you all you want to know about that spell if you reply with hints as to where you found it.”
>He scratches his chin in thought.
>As he contemplates that, you take a sip of your tea.
>Oh, that’s good. This is top shelf stuff.
>”Alright. Game start. Now answer my question.”
“Well, it kind of felt like when you leak in your sleep. It was very relaxing and warm.”
>”Warm ho--”
>You cut him off, setting your cup down.
“That’s not how this works.”
>”Right. Well, I had to venture out of my house for it.”
“Are you kidding? That’s nothing.”
>”You didn’t say they had to be good hints.”
“Alright, well casting the spell took magic.”
>”It was on paper.”
“I had to think to cast it.”
>”It was written with ink.”
>This is getting you nowhere but closer to being kicked out.
>He’s too focused on keeping whatever this is close to his chest.
>He’s probably afraid that you’re going to report him for a crime or something.
“Anon, I’m not here to accuse you of anything.”
>”Of course not. You’re here to annoy me.”
“I’m here to learn, and I want to learn about where you found the spell. I don’t care where it was.”
>Anon scoffs and sinks into his chair.
>His hand sneaks underneath his coat and he begins to rub his chest.
>”You say that now.”
>Ah ha! So he did break the law!
>>
>>29427207

>Just keep him thinking in the short term. He’ll spill.
“I’m right here, Anon. Right now we’re alone.”
>No response save for a shuffle.
“Sometimes good people do stupid things.”
>Suddenly he erupts into laughter.
>He leans over, holding his gut as if it were ready to pop out.
>”Stupid things, she says!”
>You furrow your brow.
>This isn’t the result you wanted.
>”Oh, Twilight, if only you knew how not stupid this was. Don’t worry though, everyone will know in a few days.”
“Anon, come on. There’s no need to be so secretive.”
>He gets out of his chair and comes over to you.
>Gently, he nudges you out of yours.
>”Time for you to go now. I have work to do,” he says, coming off the fit.
“But I didn’t finish my tea! And you still don’t know about the spell!”
>”You’re right, but I’m done entertaining you and taking time out of work. I can just test it myself.”
>With a little more force, you’re pushed out of the chair and ushered out.
“Well can I come back later so we can talk?”
>”I’ll call you when I have an opening.”
“Hey, don’t be like this.”
>”Bye, Twilight.”
>And then the door closes.
>You huff and kick some snow at it.
>Fine, if he wants to be a Sour Drop, that’s alright.
>He can’t ignore friendship forever.
>As you walk away, some clouds collect in the sky and give you some shade as if you weren’t already sick of the dark from Anon’s house.

>You spend the rest of the day with Applejack.
>Her theories on hyperadvanced farming methods are quite interesting.
>You believe that with a little application and magical know-how, she could take farming into the next century.
>That is, if she ever wanted to move on from bucking.
>To each their own, you suppose.
>When you get back to your castle, Spike greets you with open arms.
>”Hey, Twilight! How’d it go with AJ?”
“Well enough,” you reply, returning his embrace.
>”Then why do you sound so down?”
>You sigh as your mind tracks back to earlier in the day.
>Your repeated failures with Anon must really be taking a toll on your friendship with him.
>Something has to change.
>”Is it Anon again?”
“Yeah. I just don’t know what to do, Spike. I’ve tried everything I can think of but I can’t figure out how to get him to open up to friendship.”
>He grabs your hoof and ushers you into the kitchen.
>At the table, there’s a nice hayburger waiting for you.
>Your stomach growls as you approach it.
>Mouth watering, you take a seat and chow down as he starts.
>”Maybe you should talk to Celestia again. She helped you last time, didn’t she?”
“That’s true. I hadn’t thought of that.”
>”And maybe while you’re in Canterlot, you could pick up the next issue of Power Ponies.”
“Maybe.”
>”Aw come on, Twilight! This is the Civil Dispute issue! The ponies are divided and only Captain Equestria can save the world from Metal Mare’s evil army of time traveling superdroids!”
>Eugh, time travel.
>You’re going to steer away from that topic.
“I’ll see about it, alright? Now, did you brush your fangs?”
>”Not yet.”
“Go on then. It’s time for bed.”
>”Yeah, yeah, alright.”
>>
>>29427220

>So the next day comes and you decide to take Spike’s advice.
>You hail a carriage for the journey, making sure that it’s prepped with the essentials.
>Your “guards” pull it up to the front door and help you inside.
>”Where to, Princess?”
“Canterlot Castle, please.”
>”Right away.”
>They move, slowly getting your large purple vehicle into motion.
>The wheels move along the dirt until the pegasi up front unfurl their wings and take it all into the air.
>Soon, you’re soaring through the sky with a nice book to read.
>Time passes outside of yourself until you can feel the carriage jostle.
>Tearing yourself from the read, you look out the window and see you’ve landed just outside the castle gates.
>A guard appears outside your door and opens it up for you.
>You step out and thank him.
>The stallion bows, tipping his helmet.
>”Anything for you, m’lady.”
>Twenty yards away stands the castle, tall, piercing the sky like a giant marble sword.
>The huge doors peel open as you approach.
>There’s a guard standing there, blocking the path.
>The sun dances off his golden armor and spear as if he were blessed by Celestia herself.
>”Hello, Princess Twilight. What can we do for you?”
“I’m here to see the Princess.”
>”Do you have an appointment?”
“Of course not.”
>”Very well. Right this way, Princess.”
>The guard retreats within the safety of the castle and you follow him closely.
>The walk to the throne room is very long as usual.
>Your guide makes no effort to fill the time with conversation.
>It’s uncomfortable, sure, but not a problem.
>He takes you right to door, knocks for you, and then leaves to go about his business.
>>
>>29427226

“Thank you,” you shout as he disappears down another hallway.
>You stand there in front of the throne room doors, waiting for someone to open it.
>Nobody does though.
>You’re left standing there in the huge hallway as voices within the room begin to rise.
>Curious, you press your ear against the door for a better listen.
>”Praytell, sister, wherefore art thou so disdainful of my love?”
>”I do accept him. I don’t accept the two of you.”
>”Dost thou holdith a grudge ‘gainst the poor? We took the not for such a highnose.”
>”I hold no grudge against any pony. My issue isn’t with his birth, it’s that you’re going to dump him in a month and break his heart.”
>”Tis a lie! We love him dearly!”
>”That’s what you said last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that.”
>”A jaundiced account of our past.”
>”No, it’s fairly accurate. You’re always doing this, Luna. You can’t keep leading stallions on like that. It isn’t right. If you don’t cut it out now, I’ll do it for you.”
>”Thou art being a large excrement.”
>”We’re done here.”
>”We are done when we say we are done! We are done!”
>The sound of hooves stomping on marble grows louder.
>You squeal and jump away from the door as it’s wrapped in a navy light.
>Think fast, Twilight!
>In an instant, you’re shrouded in your own magical field.
>This invisibility spell better work. You’ve been studying it for long enough.
>Luna forces her way through the doors, nostrils flaring.
>She doesn’t seem to notice you, so you assume your field is correctly bending light around you.
>”We shall show thee, Celestia. We shall show thee the depths of our love,” she mutters and leaves, thankfully never turning back to you.
>The doors begin to close, but not before you sneak your way in.
>They slam shut, barely missing your tail.
>”That mare ages me,” sighs Celestia.
>>
>>29427244

>She runs a hoof through her mane, capturing the loose ends and taming them.
>Then, adjusting herself to properly sit in the warm sunlight spilling in through the windows, she hovers over a scroll.
>Atop her throne at the end of the room, she reads off it.
>”Let’s see what’s lined up for the day. Raise the sun? Check. Breakfast? Check. Morning talks with sister? Check. Open day court? Almost check.”
“Wait, don’t open court yet,” you call out and drop your spell.
>The lavender lens that colored your world fades, leaving everything the stark white is should be.
>”Who goes there,” snaps Celestia.
>When her eyes land on you, they soften as much as her smile.
>”Oh, hello, Twilight. What a pleasant surprise this is.”
>You gallop up to the throne.
>She sets her scroll down and taps the seat next to her which you eagerly take.
>”To what do I owe the pleasure, my little pony? It certainly has been a while since you’ve come around.”
“Well, I thought I’d come by to see my old mentor and favorite aunt.”
>”I’m glad to hea--”
“And get your advice on a friendship issue.”
>”Oh. Yes, of course. I suppose that makes the most sense.”
“Thank you, Celestia.”
>”Anything for you, Twilight,” she says following a deep breath.
>You empty your heart to her about Anon and all the trouble he’s been giving you.
>Of course you made extra sure to leave out the part where he hit you. There’s no telling what dungeon he would be thrown in for that.
>Well, and the part about the runes.
>That one might even land you in a dungeon too.
>>
>>29427249

>To her credit, she patiently waits through your whole speech, reserving her judgement on everything until the end.
>The sunlight bounces off her pristine coat, her sparkling mane, as she shifts in her seat halfway through your spiel.
>How many breaths did you take during this? Probably not enough, but you still finished.
>She’s not saying anything.
>Why isn’t she saying anything?
>Oh no, has she mastered open-eyed sleeping?
>You’ve bored her to death, haven’t you?
>”I think you’re very dedicated to your friends.”
>Oh thank goodness.
>”Of course, that’s simply your attitude toward everything. You’re a stubborn girl, Twilight, and while I do applaud that, there are some instances where I believe it hurts you more than it helps.”
“Such as?”
>”Come, Twilight. You’re a smart girl. Do you really need me to explain to you where I’m going with this?”
>She smiles and extends a wing.
>It reaches across the gap between your seats and wraps around you.
>”You have so much love to give. I understand that you want to share it with everyone, but you must consider that you’re being too giving with Anon. We’ve had this talk before, haven’t we? Sometimes friends need space to truly appreciate each other.”
“But I tried that before and it didn’t help.”
>”Didn’t it though? I hadn’t gotten any word from you thereafter, so I would assume everything worked out.”
>Well kind of, you guess.
>He did start talking to you more at one point.
>Still though, it led you here.
>For that matter, so did your friendship up until then too, and that seemed to be going very well for the seventeen months it lasted.
“I guess you’re right.”
>”Well at least you acknowledge that.”
>You got what you needed, you suppose.
>There’s no reason to stay and distract her.
>>
>>29427256

“Thank you for your time, Princess. I’ll get out of your mane now.”
>”Wait,” she says quickly. “Don’t go. I mean, would you like to stay for day court? You’re a princess after all. You should learn about this stuff.”
>She’s not exactly wrong.
>You haven’t done much of anything in the way of princessly duties.
>And hey, you do love to learn.
>You’re also not supposed to go near Anon now, so there you go.
“I think I will. Thank you.”
>”Wonderful. Guards, open the doors.”
>>
>>29427269

>You pull yourself up off the floor and wipe some sweat from your brow.
“Jesus Christ,” you mutter. “This doesn’t get any easier.”
>Slowly, you get your feet under you and rise to full height.
>There’s a mirror in the bathroom that you, Anonymous, because that is who you are now, examine yourself in.
>Your marred skin is covered with more than just scars now.
>Plastered across your chest, covering the emerald veins, is pitch black writing.
>There’s three spells on your chest, another two on your abdomen, and one on your left shoulder.
>All told, there’s quite a bit of magic running through you right now and boy, does it feel great.
>You can’t remember a time you’ve ever felt better than this.
>Your muscles are electrified. The whole world is visible to you in ways that it never was before.
>Before, you could see things. You saw the grass, the trees, the dirt, and all that which made the world.
>Now, as if it were real as your own hand, you can see the magical strings connecting it all.
>Most of all, you can see them finally running into you, your beautiful body, as it sucks in the power to fuel your runes.
>You haven’t seen any other pony than Twilight, so you’re unsure how you stack up to anyone else.
>Even so, you feel like you could do anything right now.
>Feelings can be deceiving though.
>There was a time before when you considered yourself an equal to the ponies, but of course you were wrong. You were nothing then.
>You need to test your new abilities.
>Yes, that’s right.
>You need to make sure that when you reveal yourself to the world, you have not only the power to oppose opposition, but the skill as well.
>After all, what use is a gun if it doesn’t work?

That's it for now. I might come back with more tomorrow, but if not then, either Friday or Saturday. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to watch the Samurai Jack trailer about 600 more times.

I'm glad you're that excited about it, dear reader.

>>29427291
This is going to go horribly wrong in some way isn't it. Eagerly awaiting more.

This fucking guy
He is halfway between Merlin and a lich
He is surprisingly disciplined and introspective for someone who is batshit insane

Part 3 finally finished, and it's easily longer than part 1 and 2 combined, hence the delay. Gonna bullshit for an hour or two to clear my head before revising. I'll dump when I'm done.
Have a page 6 bump.

------
>A nearby window reflects the sunset perfectly into your eyes, making you instinctively raise your arm as a shield.
>You're currently heading towards the Midnight Moon, a small bar/restaurant open during the late evening. You've been there a few times when you couldn't be arsed making dinner.
>You stare straight ahead, refusing to make eye contact with any of the ponies passing by. Occasionally you look towards the sky, the sun steadily converging with the orange horizon.
>Purposeful or not, Princess Celestia makes quite the sunset.
>...
>You're trying to distract yourself and it's not working. The small wooden container shifting around in your pocket isn't helping either.
>Against your better judgement, you begin to recall the events that transpired throughout the day.
>True to your word, you paid a visit to the Mirror Pool. You were distraught to find not a spell, but a goddamn boulder blocking the entrance.
>How the fuck were you supposed to move that? Damn ponies and their freakish strength.
>You couldn't move it. That much was obvious. But maybe you could go around it.
>You went back to your house and returned with a shovel. Digging was the only option you had and tonight is the only chance you have.
>It was going to take forever to dig that hole but you had to try. Fortunately something helped speed up the process.
>You lucked out.
>The boulder was being supported by a funnel of sorts and when your digging widened the funnel far enough, the boulder dropped into a tunnel below.
>The resulting thud scared the shit out of you.
>With arguably your biggest obstacle out of the way, you proceeded to explore the area for the final piece of the puzzle.
>A plant snow-white in color, it stands out in stark contrast to the muted coloration of the Everfree Forest.
>Its leaves disintegrate quickly when exposed to liquids, but grows back within a few days.
>>
>>29428933
>What interested you were the effects of said leaves. Consuming even a tiny bit would put someone into a deep slumber, the length depending on the size of the portion.
>At least that's what you can remember from your trip with Applebloom to introduce yourself to Zecora. That was maybe a month ago?
>No matter. You tested the leaves yourself to assure you picked the right plant. Dangerous, but you didn't exactly have much of a choice.
>The 2-hour coma you were in confirmed that yes, you chose correctly.
>You woke up feeling completely refreshed, like you never even passed out lying halfway on your couch and floor. Zecora never mentioned that side-effect.
>See? This isn't a bad idea if Lyra gets to feel like that! In fact, let's focus on the positive side of things.
>You nod your head a little in physical confirmation before breaking out of your trance to notice where you are.
>Oh, you've arrived at the bar.
>Turning the corner to reach the entrance, you start mentally going over what to discuss tonight, when a familiar mint-green pony invades your view.
>Shit.
>"Oh hey Anon!"
>Lyra is positively beaming at you, as though just seeing you made her whole day.
>Hold the fuck up, what time is it? You made sure to leave so that you'd get here at least ten minutes before eight. Enough time to mentally prepare yourself.
>You look down at the smiling mare and give a grin of your own.
"Hey Lyra."
>You desperately hope your voice doesn't sound off. Your heart-rate has also increased by a sizable amount.
>This is not a dress rehearsal, brain! We are live!
>Your grin contorts into a look of bemusement.
"How long have you been waiting here? I thought I was the one arriving earlier than needed."
>Lyra waves a fore-hoof as though shooing away an invisible pony.
>"Not long. It's always good to be punctual!"
>Her gaze begins to travel downwards as she takes in your current attire.
>"You look great! It's been a while since I've seen you wear that suit."
>>
>>29428935
>You love this suit and the many others currently tucked away in your closet. A gift from Rarity, you wore them every day, strutting around Ponyville like the dapper motherfucker you are.
>Unfortunately your supreme taste in fashion had to be put on hold for the greater good. Namely, frequently running away from Twilight.
>Turns out a tuxedo and dress shoes are suboptimal for track-and-field. Who would've guessed?
>You grab the hem of your jacket, looking down to admire yourself.
"Yea, I figured tonight would be appropriate."
>You gesture towards Lyra.
"You look amazing too. As always."
>Sheesh Anon, could you lay it on any thicker? At least try to suck-up a little more inconspicuously.
>Not that you were lying. You can't see a single strand of her light-cyan mane out of place. Her coat is also well groomed compared to its naturally disheveled appearance after a long day.
>Lyra's pupils and iris' expand as she stares at you. Then, she abruptly blinks, turning her head away.
>You can clearly see her blushing, a tinge of pink visible on her right cheek. Looks like you didn't come on too strong.
>Lyra paws the ground.
>"Thank you Anon."
>She looks back up at you with another smile, ears fully at attention.
>"Let's head inside."
>She motions towards the entrance.
"Sure."
>The two of you walk the short distance to the door. As you approach, you can see the doorknob become surrounded by a brilliantly gold aura, and the door opens inward.
>Lyra stops next to the open doorway and looks at you expectantly. She obviously wants you to go in ahead of her.
>You can't resist.
"Are you trying to make a 'ladies-' err, "mares first' joke?"
>You exaggerate a scoff and put your right hand over your heart. Your whole demeanor screams 'why I never!'.
>Lyra balks. Her face scrunches into confusion as she tries to form a coherent reply.
>"Wha- No! Why would I... I mean, you're right! I didn't..."
>>
>>29428939
>Her voice dies down as she catches the shit-faced grin steadily growing on your face.
>"Oh buck off, Anon."
>Despite the exasperation in her voice, she's also grinning.
>Chuckling quietly, you oblige her silent request and step into the building. You hear her hoof-falls trailing behind you.
>The Midnight Moon.
>Really, it's more of a bar than a restaurant. Quite the impressive array of alcoholic beverages line the shelves behind the counter. Ponies don't come here to sample the cuisine.
>Well, except you. They make a mean plate of nachos.
>You give a small wave to the bartender, who nods in both greeting and confirmation. She'll make note of where you sit and send a waiter to your table.
>You also note the classical music playing softly in the background. Always good for setting a calm atmosphere.
>You look down at Lyra, who has taken to standing beside you.
"Lead the way."
>Lyra herds you to a two-pony table right besides a window. Glancing outside as you sit down, you see it's now dusk.
>Lyra takes the chair across from you and sits down in a manner more befitting of ponies, unlike yesterday.
>You, on the other hand, are forced to either bunch your legs together or stretch them out across the floor.
>You opt for the latter. Hopefully no one trips over you.
>A maroon unicorn mare with a turquoise mane walks up to the table once you finally settle in. Her face lights up in excitement as she ogles you and Lyra.
>"Anon! Lyra! It's nice to see you two again, together no less!"
>Shit, this pony knows your name? You can't remember if she ever told you hers. Come to think of it, how the hell does she know your name? You've never told her.
>Oh, right.
>Being the only human in Ponyville might have something to do with it.
>Lyra doesn't hesitate to respond.
>"Hello Maroon. Long time no see!"
>Holy shit, is that actually her name? Her parents are quite the uncreative pair. Then again, most ponies' names are about as direct as it gets.
>Lyra continues on.
>>
>>29428944
>"Yea, we're here for a casual night out."
>Maroon nods in understanding. Her horn is enveloped in a light-brown aura as she floats two menus to you and Lyra.
>"Well don't let me keep you waiting."
>Lyra holds up a fore-hoof to prevent her menu from being placed on the table.
>"I don't need a menu, thank you though."
>The menu floats back to Maroon, who turns her head slightly to look at you.
"I'll pass as well."
>You pick up your menu from the tabletop and hold it out until the aura takes it from your hand.
>"Then I take it you are both ready to order?"
>You glance at Lyra, who in turn looks at you. You both nod.
"You first."
>Lyra faces Maroon.
>"I'll have a hayburger with extra pickles please"
>Maroon nods before eying you.
>You aren't hungry.
>Well, that's not true. Rather, you don't want to eat.
>...
>That's also not true.
>Fuck it, just get some of those bomb-ass nachos.
"I'll have the nachos. Extra cheese."
>You can never have too much cheese.
>"Hayburger with extra pickles and nachos with extra cheese. Got it."
>Maroon gives one final curt nod and smile before departing, the unused menus balanced perfectly on her back.
>With her gone, you and Lyra are alone again. Time for small talk.
>You study Lyra's expression. She's also watching you, eyes fully open, a ghost of a smile still etched on her lips.
>What throws you off is her ears. Halfway bent, indicating what? Is she feeling down? Nervous? Afraid?
>Let's fix that. You can't botch this date- uh, get-together. There's too much at stake.
"Nice weather we're having, eh?"
>It has the optimal effect. Lyra blinks once before smirking.
>"I know you're better than this, Anon. Here, I'll start the conversation."
>She puts a fore-hoof to her throat, clearing it dramatically.
>"How was your day?"
>You scoff.
"Are you kidding? That's barely better than mine. Although it is a good question-"
>You raise a finger.
"For /you/."
>You point at her.
>Unsurprisingly, Lyra is confused.
>"Huh?"
>>
>>29428951
"I would like to know more about you. We've focused on myself more than enough, now it's your turn. So..."
>You lean forward, left arm supporting your weight.
"How was your day?"
>Time passes by in a blur.
>You learn that Lyra's day was 'good', as are most of them. Today was spent practicing for an upcoming concert in Fillydelphia.
>These horse puns will be the death of you.
>You also learn more about Lyra's career path. While you already knew she played around town for the local food stops, you didn't know she traveled frequently.
>You were always skeptical on 'playing the lyre' being a useful talent, but clearly Lyra makes it work well.
>Your chat is eventually interrupted by Maroon bringing your dinner.
>Lyra makes a few attempts to continue the conversation, but you encourage her to eat more than talk.
>As you savor such finely-crafted chips, your thoughts begin to wander.
>This little get-together is going quite well. You're enjoying yourself far more than you assumed you would.
>Lyra is a much more interesting mare than you previously thought. Someone who travels often must have plenty of stories to share.
>You're looking forward to asking her to divulge a few.
>Eventually, Lyra finishes her hayburger before you finish your nachos. Preposterous!
"Are you full?"
>You glance at the cleaned plate in front of her.
>Lyra sighs deeply before shaking her head.
>"Not quite. We still have a night ahead of us."
>That's right, you certainly do.
>You finish off the chip in your hand with a particularly large scoop of cheese. Grabbing your plate with your left hand, you gesture towards the bar with your right.
"Then let's not waste any time! I'm almost done with these anyway."
>Lyra smiles.
>"Alright, if you say so."
>That familiar golden aura envelops her chair and moves it away from the table. Lyra slides off of the chair to stand up and stretches briefly, her posture resembling one of a cat.
>Ponies are weird, man.
>>
>>29428956
>You swiftly get up and perform a similar routine. You really need to sit up straight.
>The two of you navigate your way to the counter and find a pair of unoccupied seats on the far right. So far so good.
>Lyra sits down and places a fore-hoof on her chin. Her face is scrunched up, so you assume she's debating what to get.
>What will you have? It honestly doesn't matter. You've learned the hard way that pony drinks can't hang with your liver.
>You're a god amongst lightweights, but it's a curse instead of a blessing. Forever doomed to stay sober.
>You wonder if drinking rubbing alcohol will alleviate your burden.
>Lyra's voice pokes through your internal pondering.
>"What do you plan on getting, Anon?"
>You have no idea. Time to take the cowards way out.
"I'll match whatever you get. I'm not picky with drinks."
>Lyra sizes up your demeanor.
>"Are you sure?"
"Yea, of course I am. I can roll with whatever you throw at me."
>You thump your chest twice to assert your toughness.
>Lyra rolls her eyes and gives a small shake of her head, but it's impossible to miss the smile on her face. She turns to the bartender who's currently standing in front of the two of you.
>"We'll take two Screwdrivers, please."
>Pony's have Screwdrivers in this world? These things really shouldn't surprise you anymore.
>The cobalt pegasus mare heads off to mix your order.
>Lyra turns to the side to properly face you, resting her left foreleg on the counter.
>"So, where were we?"
>Your earlier conversation resumes.
>When your drinks arrive, you thank the bartender before immediately going in for a sip. Yup, alcoholic concentration is practically non-existent. Still tastes good though, you're a sucker for orange juice.
>A reminder brings itself to the front of your mind.
>Don't spike her drink until she's done with the first one. You want to make this look believable.
>Right, believable. Because you are going to drug her.
>...
>Focus, Anon. Don't worry about it until the main event.
>>
>>29428959
>You tune back in to Lyra's words.
>More time passes. You finally get to ask about her adventures in other cities. She asks about similarities between Equestrian and Earth cities, details you are happy to provide.
>When your glasses are both empty, Lyra is quick to order more. She opts for a 'Poni Island Iced Tea' this time. Sounds familiar, but you can't quite put your finger on it.
>Conversation continues to flow naturally. You really are having a good time. You'll definitely thank Lyra for this later.
>"...to say, Princess Celestia was not happy."
>A laugh escapes your lips. Only Twilight would enchant a doll and nearly destroy a town to make a friendship lesson.
>Lyra gives a short chuckle of her own before taking a small sip of her 'tea'. Upon finishing, she lets out a muffled cough.
>"If you'll excuse me, I have to use the little fillies room."
>She put on a sheepish smile before sliding off the stool and quickly trotting off to the restroom.
>You return to taking a sip of your drink when it hits you.
>Now.
>Do it now.
>There's literally never going to be a better opportunity. Your original plan involved a spilled drink and getting another for her, but this is perfect.
>With trembling fingers, you remove the wooden container from your pocket. You open it up and examine the crushed leaves.
>Still there, waiting to fulfill their purpose in life.
>You eye Lyra's drink, roughly one-thirds of it now remains. You and Lyra were sitting close to each other so it's not hard to reach.
>Taking a glance to the other ponies at the bar, it's clear that no one is paying attention to you. Looks like you've finally learned how to blend in.
>You reach out and grab Lyra's glass, bringing it in front of you. Now your left hand is holding her drink while the right is clutching the container.
>All you have to do is empty the container's contents into the amber liquid and that's it. The hardest part of your plan will be over.
>>
>>29428963
>You raise the container halfway to the glass, then stop.
>...
>You're hesitating.
>You're fucking hesitating.
>Every second that you spend thinking about this is another possible chance that Lyra will return, that someone will pick their head up and see what you're trying to do.
>You can't fucking afford to waste time right now.
>So come on, Anon.
>JUST.
>FUCKING.
>DO IT.
>You quickly lift the little wooden cylinder over the glass and turn it upside down. With a few hard shakes, the leaves finally fall into the 'tea'.
>Closing the container, you proceed to grab Lyra's straw and use it to mix the leaves in. Better play it safe.
>Finally you return the glass to its initial position.
>You glance around to check if anyone has spotted you. Nope, still nothing.
>Your breathing is quite erratic, undoubtedly due to what you just did. Better fix that before Lyra gets back.
>There's no going back now, Anon. All or Nothing.
>A few minutes later, you spot Lyra returning. Just seeing her makes your breathing hitch again.
>Goddamn, heart-rate. Slow the fuck down.
>Lyra gives you a smile as she climbs back up on the stool. You do your best to return it.
>She immediately goes for her drink. Grasping the straw in her lips, you can only stare as she takes a sip.
>Don't sweat it anon. Those leaves are odorless. What minimal color they produce is well-hidden.
>As for the taste...
>You continue to carefully watch Lyra's face for any reaction.
>Nothing.
>It's at this time you realize you've been staring at her rather intensely, and she's not blind.
>"What? Is there something on my face?"
>She looks self-conscious right now.
>You blink abruptly. Think of something, Anon!
"No, no! I was just thinking, that's all."
>Your acting has improved dramatically since yesterday's session with Twilight. There's barely any waver in your voice and the volume is kept at an appropriate level.
>>
>>29428984
>Lyra looks relieved. After a moment, her facial expression changes and she raises an eyebrow, a sultry look in her eyes.
>"Are you sure you weren't just checking me out?"
>Now THAT you were not expecting.
>In fact, the unexpectedness, combined with your current pent-up emotions, results in a guffaw escaping your mouth before you quickly restrain yourself.
>Whoops.
>Ignoring the stares coming from a few ponies, you smile at Lyra, whose expression has shifted to one of anticipation.
>You raise your hands in mock-surrender.
"You caught me."
>Lyra eyes widen for a moment before she laughs lightly, a tinge of pink visible on her cheeks. Her ears are also back to their relaxed position.
>She reaches over with a fore-hoof and pokes your leg.
>"I'm just messing with you, Anon."
>Chitchat resumes between the two of you. You wish you can remember what's being said, but all you can focus on is the Poni Island Iced Tea that Lyra just finished.
>If you had to guess, you'd say about 6 minutes passed before the leaves took full effect on you. You don't know how long the process will take with Lyra, but you hope it's stretched out instead of instantaneous.
>Having a pony suddenly collapse with zero prior warning will be a huge red flag.
>You keep watch on Lyra's mood. Minutes pass, yet nothing. Are those leaves having an effect?
"...possibly the least-appropriate time to blurt that out, but she didn't notice. Either that or she-"
>Your words are cut off mid-sentence by a yawn from Lyra. Are the leaves starting to work their magic?
>Feigned concern fills your face.
"Are you tired? We can leave if you want, don't let me keep you up."
>Lyra dismisses your comment with an idle wave of a fore-hoof.
>"Nah, I'm good. Let's have one more drink before we call it a night."
>She gestures to the distant bartender in an effort to call her over. Once the pegasus arrives, Lyra doesn't hesitate to order.
>"We'll have two...-"
>>
>>29428991
>Lyra interrupts her own words with another yawn, this one louder than before.
>The drug is finally sinking in. You need to direct her out of this establishment, and fast.
>You tilt your head sideways and give a look of apprehension to Lyra.
"Mmmm... Yea, I think we're done for the evening."
>You turn to the barkeep.
"I'll pay for our tab now."
>The colbalt mare nods, pointing the tip of her wing towards a cash register on the opposite side of the bar.
>"Meet me by the register whenever you're ready."
>She walks away, leaving you and a clearly disappointed Lyra alone.
>Lyra looks at you, sadness visible in her features.
>"Come on, Anon. I'm good for another round. This is a night-out for you."
>She follows that up with a heavy blink of her eyelids.
>No, Lyra, you are not 'good'.
"You look exhausted. I'm not letting you sit here half-asleep just for me."
>You shuffle around on your stool briefly before the weight of her last sentence hits you fully.
>For you.
>You sit up straight and make proper eye contact with the gloomy unicorn.
"Thank you for the evening Lyra. I've had a wonderful time and I'm extremely grateful you care about me that much."
>You're genuinely smiling now.
>Underneath that smile is a growing pang of regret.
>Focus, Anon. You're in too deep now anyway.
>Lyra stares at you with a slightly incredulous look. She's squinting a bit, likely due to her growing tiredness.
>Her expression eventually changes to one of content. She gives you a big grin and reaches out to touch your knee.
>"Of course I care about you this much, Anon. We're friends!"
>...
>......
>Your gut feels as though a rock dropped straight into it. Your lips are sealed but your eyes betray your true feelings; they're wide as saucers.
>Friends?
>You're friends with Lyra?
>Apparently.
>That's not a bad thing, right?
"Yea."
>Your voice is hoarse, throat suddenly lacking moisture.
>You need an excuse, any excuse, to keep this plan in motion.
>>
>>29428997
>Well you did mention that it's too late to back out...
>Not good enough, you need something better.
>You go back earlier to when you were walking to the Midnight Moon.
>Right, Lyra won't feel anything. In fact, you aren't actually harming her at all tonight. She'll wake up feeling as fresh as a daisy.
>Friends don't hurt each other, at least not purposefully.
>That will work. Don't focus on anything but that key part: 'You aren't actually harming her.'
>Lyra makes no comment on your unusual behavior. She leans back into her seat and turns to face the bar, then places both forelegs on the counter, crossing them.
>"I was supposed to get the bill, meanie."
>Her words come out much slower than before. Her eyes are also staying closed for a few seconds every time she blinks. Not much time left.
"Like I would let you do that."
>Your voice is still in a semi-whisper, as if you're afraid to speak any louder.
>Lyra responds with a small huff, but you can see the faintest of smirks etched on her muzzle.
>She lowers her head to rest atop her forelegs, staring vacantly at the shelf in front of her.
>You reach out with your left hand and touch Lyra's withers.
"I'll go pay now."
>A faint nod is her response, and you rise from your stool, stretching briefly before walking over to the register. You pay no mind to the few ponies you pass by.
>At the register, you take out the appropriate number of bits to pay for your tab, and hand them over to the bartender. As she makes change, you glance over to Lyra.
>It seems she's finally fallen asleep. Good. Now to head out.
>Change in hand, you navigate back to your seat. Lyra makes no movement as you approach her.
>You bend down somewhat and gently tap her shoulder. No response.
"Lyra? Are you okay?"
>You know damn well what's up; you're not doing this for yourself. Leaving with passed-out pony in tow isn't exactly normal, so you need to make it look as believable as possible.
>>
>>29429000
>A quick peek to your left and you spot the barkeep near you, also looking at Lyra. She trots over, clearly worried.
>Your heart-rate is increasing. While you did plan for this, you're still nervous over the possibility of getting caught.
>"Is she alright?"
>You place your forearm on the counter. Turning your head to face the pegasus, you put on your best casual look.
"I think she's had a long day. She told me that practice was pretty lengthy."
>No point in completely blaming alcohol tolerance, you're reasonably positive Lyra didn't drink enough to get drunk.
"I'll take her home, don't worry. She has a roommate I can pass her off to."
>You give the bartender a determined grin.
>The mare eyes you for a moment before nodding.
>"Make sure she gets home safe, you hear?"
"Of course."
>You firmly nod your head.
>"Then have a good evening."
>Her tone is polite, not gruff. She turns and walks back to the register.
>Too nice for their own good.
>Taking a deep breath, you study Lyra. Still deep in slumber, her face is relaxed and void of any tension.
>Obviously you're going to have to carry her. Hardly a problem, you know its possible from the piggyback rides you give Pinkie. She loves those.
>Stuffing your change into your left pocket, you walk around to the right of Lyra.
>Crouching down, you face away from the counter and wrap your right arm under her barrel until your hand is touching her back.
>You lean to the left, carefully sliding Lyra's upper body off the counter until her weight is fully on your arm and her head is resting behind yours. Her right foreleg hangs down next to your chest, while the left swings limply behind you.
>You begin to stand up, waiting until Lyra's lower body starts rising with you before using your left arm to support her buttocks, hand pressed against her flank.
>After a brief adjustment so her hind-legs are somewhat wrapped around your sides, you're now holding Lyra in a more comfortable manner.
>>
>>29429006
>You silently note that Lyra is warm.
>Some ponies are watching you but you ignore their stares. Time to head out.
>Leaning slightly to the left for counterbalance, you make your way to the entrance. Once there, you remove your right hand from Lyra's back to open the door.
>You step out into the warm night, the music from inside fading as the door closes slowly behind you.
>First thing's first, stop at your house. You're not walking into the Everfree forest without a proper light source.
>You start towards home. Your footfalls are the only thing breaking the dead silence.
>You aren't worried too much about being seen. Ponies may as well be allergic to moonlight since they seem to disappear once it gets dark outside. Night-owls are few and far in-between.
>Your breathing is even and calm. This isn't bad.
>...
>Your idle thoughts return to the task at hand. Exactly what you don't want.
>Remember, Anon: No one has been hurt. No one is getting hurt.
>Except a clone.
>But it's a clone, it won't feel anything!
>Right?
>Stop thinking about it, Anon.
>But you can't. You always go back to mulling over your plans.
>Well, if you can't /not/ focus on this, then maybe you can focus extra hard on something else...
>Counting.
>Time to see how high you can count!
>One, two, three, four...
>You think only of integers as you make your way to your humble abode, street lamps providing meager light compared to the moon.
>Thanks, Luna.
>You eventually arrive at your front door and pause your count at two hundred and ninety-seven. Taking a moment to get out your keys from your right pocket, you unlock the door and step inside.
>Where's the goddamn lamp?
>You locate the lamp and give the crystal perched inside a little twist. Light floods your vision and you swear silently.
>Heading into the living room, you turn on the light before approaching the couch. With a small adjustment so your right arm is traveling along Lyra's back, you gently set her down on the seat.
>>
>>29429012
>Still no movement from her, outside of breathing.
>Your left arm was doing most of the work. You plan on switching up Lyra's position so her weight is distributed a little better amongst both of your arms.
>Before that however, you have a lantern to find.
>You retrieve it from your bedroom where it's right next to your dresser. Easy enough.
>Shuffling back to the living room, you place the lantern on the couch's arm and eye Lyra.
>Alright, how are you going to do this?
>You decide on a cradle hold. Less than two minutes later, Lyra is curled up in your arms, her face pressed into the right side of your neck. Her forelegs are tucked against her chest
>You glance over to her face. From this angle, it looks like she's smiling...
>Wait, she /is/ smiling.
>You recall yesterday's hug she gave you. Fuzzy and warm, two perfect adjectives to describe the unicorn currently nestled into your arms.
>A brief smile creeps onto your lips, only to fall.
>Is this really the only-
>A small sigh escapes Lyra's mouth.
>You freeze.
>Lyra shifts around a bit in your arms before pressing her muzzle a little more firmly into your neck. You can feel her body relax after that.
>Shit, is that normal? Do peo- ponies still move around when they consume the leaves?
>You don't know. Hell, you don't know if you moved at all during your test, although your ending position suggests so.
>Don't panic, Anon. You gave her more than enough to be out like a light for hours.
>You focus on lowering your heart-rate with deep, controlled breaths. After a minute or two, you feel somewhat better.
>Alright, time to head back out.
>Grabbing the lantern with your left pinkie and ring fingers, you advance towards the front door. Before you leave the living room, you check the clock hung up on the wall.
>Nine forty-two.
>A few moments later and you're back outside. You decided to leave the lights on since any other day you'd be inside.
>>
>>29429013
>The lantern stays off. The moonlight will be more than enough until you reach the Everfree, where the thick canopy blocks most natural light from entering.
>We are now departing from: Anon's home. Next stop: The Mirror Pool.
>You resume counting to keep your mind off of things.
>Five hundred thirty-one, five hundred thirty-two, five hundred oh you can see the Everfree now.
>You reach the beginnings of the forest at six hundred thirteen.
>A pause in walking is taken to awkwardly turn on the lantern. It involves getting on one knee and laying the lantern on its side to twist the bottom.
>Light source now on full blast, you amble onwards into the forest.
>You've never actually been here at night. Not being able to see much of the surrounding area is putting you on edge.
>Alright, just stay calm and remember where the cave is. You know the words.
>'Where the brambles are thickest; there you will find a pond beyond the most twisted of vines'
>Yes, that is where the Mirror Pool resides. That is where you are heading.
>With Lyra. An unconscious Lyra.
>To clone her.
>To take her clone's horn.
>You glance sideways to Lyra, only moving your eyes. She hasn't moved much since earlier's scare. Still pressed tightly against you.
>It's cute.
>You've been trying to come up with an appropriate description of how Lyra looks since you were at your house. You think this answer works best.
>Cute.
>...
>Why did you think that.
>You don't drug cute things. You don't drug cute ponies. Who drugs ponies?
>Clearly you do, retard.
>That familiar sinking feeling in your gut has returned with a vengeance, this time accompanied by a tightness in your chest.
>Why are you doing this, Anon? Remind yourself why you're doing this, lest you crack under the pressure.
>You are doing this because it's the only way. Because you need to use magic.
>Do you actually need magic?
>Of course. Being magically inept in such a world is practically suicide.
>>
>>29429018
>But you've been doing fine without it so far. You have a /want/, not a /need/.
>You shake your head roughly, careful to avoid Lyra's horn. You /need/ to stop having these internal debates.
>Look forward, walk forward, think forward.
>Your breathing has become staggered, and it's not from all the walking.
>Just a little farther now. Can't be much longer. In fact...
>There it is.
>The tunnel entrance.
>You stop before the hole. You didn't mean to. Actually, you didn't even /want/ to.
>It just sort of happened.
>Keep it moving, Anon.
>You start a gradual decent down the slope, keeping a tight hold on Lyra. Like hell you're going to fall or drop her.
>The faint movements and sounds of local wildlife die down as you pass the boulder and move deeper into the tunnel. You can see the end not too far ahead.
>You can't help but slow down again as you finally reach the cave.
>It's lit up by a plethora of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms and plants. They shine so bright that it's as illuminated in here as outside on a cloudy day.
>You pay no mind to them. Your focus is on a clear pool of water in the center of the cave.
>The Mirror Pool.
>You take the path down, walking slowly. The silence is deafening.
>You're approaching the pool now. Not many more steps left.
>Almost there.
>Now you're right on the edge of the pool.
>Well.
>Here we are.
>End of the line.
>You look down to your left, where a saw currently rests on the ground. It pays to plan ahead.
>All that's left is to put Lyra in the pool.
>Then you'll finally be able to get that horn you always wanted.
>Yup.
>You stare at the calm liquid.
>Just gotta put Lyra in the pool.
>Yup.
>...
>You keep staring.
>Lyra. In the pool.
>...
>You clutch Lyra a little more tightly.
>Just... put her...
>>
>>29429020
>...
>......
>You're shaking.
"No."
>The faintest of whispers.
>You shake your head.
"No."
>You take an unsteady step away from the pool.
"No, no."
>Another few steps.
"No."
>Your breathing is extremely erratic. Are you hyperventilating? Your heart feels like it's beating through your chest.
"No."
>All you can do is continue to shake your head.
>What... what the hell were you thinking?!?
>WHY?!?
>You mouth that last question.
>You know why, but... no!
>You glance down to Lyra, still snuggled up in your arms.
>Why would you do this to her? She doesn't deserve this!
>What the HELL is wrong with you???
>You've never felt more horrified in your life. And to yourself, no less.
>All that doubt you pushed aside has come crashing down on you.
>But it wasn't doubt. It was the reasonable side of you.
>You realize that you're on the verge of panicking, if not already going through the motions.
>Lyra is still in your arms. You don't want to hurt her. You don't want to hurt a friend.
>You carefully lower yourself and take a seat on the hard ground.
>You're not going anywhere until you calm yourself down enough to head back to Ponyville without any harm befalling Lyra.
>Why?
>No.
>Why?
>No.
>Why?
>You can only repeat these two words in your head.
>This might take a while.
>You don't know how much time passes, but eventually you manage to focus enough to stop repeating the same two words over and over, along with a few other questions.
>Okay, time to return home.
>You feel Lyra shifting some more in your arms. You sneak a peak at her.
>Still sleeping, thankfully. Her eyes are open slightly.
>...
>What.
>You give your full attention to the mare currently nestled in your arms.
>Her eyes are opening a bit more now.
>SHIT, is she waking up???
>This is bad. This is very bad. You have no idea why the hell she's waking up, but she's not supposed to be!
>All you can do is stare in dismay as Lyra awakens fully.
>>
>>29429024
>She blinks a few times as she comes to. Her facial expression is unsurprisingly one of bewilderment.
>Then she notices her position.
>She slowly looks up to you. When she catches you staring back, her cheeks turn pink.
>"Anon! Wha- wher-"
>Lyra can't seem to form a coherent sentence. At least there's no dreariness in her voice.
>"What happened?"
>There it is, the big question.
>What do you say?
>'I drugged you in an effort to clone you so I could saw off your clone's horn and claim it as my own.'
>Do you tell her the truth?
"You fell asleep at the bar. I think the alcohol, plus tiredness might have had something to do with it. Mainly the former."
>A lie.
>You can't tell her the truth. You don't want to tell her the truth.
>You're a coward.
>You can only stall for the moment and try to come up with an excuse for being here.
>Lyra's face scrunches in concentration as she recalls the events prior to her sudden nap.
>"I was a little drowsy, and definitely had a nice buzz."
>She looks at you sheepishly.
>"Guess I must've dozed off by accident."
>Wow, that works.
>Lyra finally notices your odd location. Craning her neck to the right, she looks around the cavern.
>"Where are we?"
"It's a secret cave located not far into the Everfree forest."
>Lyra looks concerned upon hearing that last bit, but you continue on.
"Zecora told me about this place. Apparently the water... or whatever it is, is good for getting the mind and body out of a stupor. Didn't want you waking up with a potential hangover."
>You glance down to the mint-green mare, and grin as best you can.
"Feeling better?"
>This lie has more holes in it than swiss cheese. It's the best you can come up with on such short notice.
>There's no way in hell she's gonna take that at face value.
>"Yea. Actually, I feel great! I don't feel tired at all!"
>At least those leaves were good for something.
>"...You carried me all this way just so I would feel better?"
>>
>>29429027
>Lyra's tone is soft. You can feel her body tense up slightly.
>You give a sharp laugh.
"Of course I carried you, how else would I get you here?"
>Finish this, Anon.
"But yes, I did. 'Why not', you know? We're friends.
>You end that with a gentle smile, staring deep into Lyra's eyes.
>You're dying on the inside with each lie you speak.
>Except the last part.
>You are friends.
>Although friends usually don't drug the other friend.
>That familiar blush has returned to Lyra's face. After a moment, she leans her head back into the your neck, nuzzling you.
>"Thanks, Anon."
>You reply by leaning into her movements. God that feels great.
>Also holy shit, she bought it.
>Lyra eventually lets up, a mild sigh emanating from her. She examines her huddled form momentarily before chuckling.
>"Do you hold all your 'friends' like this?"
>She looks back up to you, a playful glint in her eye. Ever the joker, this one.
"Nah, just you."
>You smirk. You're not wrong, the only other pony you've 'held' was Rainbow Dash and that was more of an impromptu wrasslin' match.
>Lyra's cheeks will stay permanently pink if she keeps blushing this much.
>Wait, you're still holding Lyra. Duh.
"Oh. You wanna get up?"
>Her body stiffens in your arms and her pupils contract a little.
>"No! I mean... no. You're comfortable."
>She presses in to you more as if to prove her point.
>You're not complaining. Lyra is the perfect cuddle partner. Soft and warm to the touch.
>A thought crosses your mind and you chortle.
"You know, people only cuddle this much when they're in a relationship."
>Well, either that or post-sex.
>You're not saying that.
>You try and gauge Lyra's reaction but she's expressionless. You realize that she's likely lost in thought.
>You turn your head towards the pool and stare at the calm surface.
>What now?
>>
>>29429028
>Just casually talking to Lyra has improved your mood. Not that you don't still feel awful about the events that transpired, but conversing as though nothing is wrong helps distract you.
>You need to get moving and escort Lyra home. You don't know what time it is but you don't want Bon-Bon needlessly worrying.
>At the same time, however, you're content to just sit here and hold Lyra. Fuzz therapy does wonders on-
>"Does that mean... you want /us/ to be in a relationship?"
>What.
>You turn back to Lyra.
>Ears up and alert, eyes focused firmly on yours. What stands out the most is her facial expression.
>It's hopeful.
>That is NOT what you were expecting.
>Her reaction, not the question.
>The question itself is something you two would definitely throw into conversation as a joke.
>But it's not a joke.
>Lyra is serious. That much you know. Her body language says all.
>Talk about jumping to conclusions. A little cuddling, one small observation, and suddenly she's thinking of you two as a pair?
>Unless...
>You go back to earlier. Your get-together was wonderful, sans drugging.
>You two have apparently been friends for some time now, since your definition of 'friend' needs tweaking.
>And now you're holding onto her, as close as the two of you can get without... y'know.
>Was this latest inquiry from Lyra caused by all three events?
>Obviously.
>You didn't know Lyra felt that way about you.
>Now here's the million-dollar question.
>Do you feel the same about her?
>Can you honestly say that you don't just like Lyra, you like-like her?
>Well...
>You've learned almost as much information about Lyra in one night than you have in months.
>You absolutely want to hang out more in the future.
>But as a pair?
>Boyfriend and girlfriend? Marefriend? Is that a thing?
>Stop going off on tangents, Anon.
>...
>Why not.
>Maybe the unicorn currently pressed against you is influencing your decisions, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.
>>
>>29429030
>You two hit it off well, the only thing that changes will be in title, right?
>So what if she's a pony? The intricate conversations you have with Lyra are reason enough to dismiss such a minor issue.
>As for her body...
>She's warm. You'll stick with that.
>There's one more reason you're giving this serious thought, one that can be interpreted as either good or bad. Mostly bad.
>You feel as though you owe it to her.
>After today's fiasco, you want nothing more than to make it up to Lyra. You /need/ to make it up to her, even if she has no idea why.
>Although this can hardly be considered punishment for your sins. The opposite, really.
>So...
>Only a few tense seconds have passed since Lyra spoke to you. You swear you can feel her heart beating. Her tail is also swishing to and fro.
>You give a big grin to her.
"I guess so. Why, do /you/?"
>You're teasing, of course. You already know the answer.
>Lyra's pupils and irises dilate more more than you ever thought was possible. Holy shit that's weird.
>It's also cute as fuck, goddamn.
>She quickly shuts her eyes and shakes her head back and forth. You have to learn away to avoid her horn.
>When she finally recovers, her eyes are back to normal, although they're still wide as dinner plates.
>"YES! I mean... Yes!"
>Lyra gives a shaky laugh, as though months of pent-up anxiety was released at that exact moment.
>Lyra extracts her forelegs from their tucked position and wiggles in your arms. Does she want to get up now?
>Oh, a hug. Yea, that works too.
>Your hands are still occupied, so you settle for leaning your head against Lyra's own.
>Fuzz therapy, man.
>When she eventually lets up, she's beaming. Lyra has some shiny pearly whites.
>You return her enthusiasm with a smile of your own. She looks extremely happy, there's no way you made a bad call.
>Lyra's face is falling now. First the teeth go, then the smile, until she's back at a neutral expression.
>You raise an eyebrow. What happened?
>>
>>29429037
>Lyra now looks concerned.
>"What time is it?"
>Oh.
>You shrug, which is not made easy by the pony in your arms.
"I have no idea. I don't wear a watch."
>Lyra still looks concerned.
>"I told Bon-Bon I'd be back before eleven at the latest. I'm a grown mare but she can be over-protecting at times."
>She mumbles something that you don't fully catch. You can make out 'search party' and 'royal decree'.
"No problem, I'm sure she'll understand the detour we took."
>You really don't want to repeat your half-assed excuse to anyone else, but you don't have a choice.
"So, ready to head back?"
>"Sure!"
>You uncross your legs and place your right foot to the side so you can stand up without using your arms, but Lyra's fidgeting stops you from rising.
>She's been held by you for so long, you're positive she wants to walk.
"Oh right, sorry."
>You lean forward and extend your arms away from your body so Lyra can stand up properly.
>She doesn't move though. She only looks at you with another sheepish expression.
>"Uhh..."
>Her blush has reclaimed its rightful place on her cheeks.
>"Are your arms tired?"
>Getting to hold this mare for a while longer? No complaints here.
>You chuckle. Bringing Lyra back in, you get up carefully.
>She takes a moment to nestle in more.
>Fuzz.
>Therapy.
"I'm good for the trip back."

Yea, that's part 3. Considering it's the 'main event', I'm positive there are errors strewn about, both in storytelling and grammar. Gonna wrap everything up with part 4 so [spoilers]it doesn't look like Anon wields a get-out-of-jail-free card.[/spoilers]

>The blow of the wood across my face came swift, hard. You weren't supposed to hit kneeling men, I remember thinking, but thought was lost in the sullen staccato of rain pattering against my head, and the fresh dots of red that joined the mud beneath my knees.
>Immediately, the purple one leapt forward, holding both her legs - arms? appendages? - around the creature that stood before me.
>>"It's ok, Applejack! He's harmless. He can't do magic. He is just a human after all."
>The club-wielder resisted, momentarily struggled against her oppressor, and then just as quickly gave way. It let the handle of the cudgel fall from her mouth, where it dangled loosely from a leather thong strung around its neck.
>>"Ah never said ah expected anything from'm."
>It sucked in a breath and spat at me. I don't remember it hitting me - just the dark circles that hemmed my vision of a glaring, angry pony wearing a stetson, silhouetted against a dark sky.
>The purple one bore a horn, wings, and worried eyes, and sought to shove its way between me and my aggressor.
>>"That's enough! Can't you see he's defenceless?"
>The orange one wheeled around in fury, teeth borne. I couldn't understand what they were saying; but some body language was universal.
>>"Defenceless? Is that so, Twah? A creature of the same lick o' those scumbags that perch on Equestria like timberwolves on a calf? A twolegs?"
>Purple flinched, but remained uncowed, a defiant scowl curling its way onto her lips.
>>"I will -not- have him abused. He is a prisoner. And you will treat him with dignity."
>The orange one only smirked.
>>"Hmph. Well, 'yer highness', as you wish. Y'can just leave the hero work to us Apples. We'll bring ya back a souvenir ta' study'n all that. But ah couldn't give rightly give a damn."
>And with that, orange swept away, its long duster flapping in the night wind, a motley crew of others tailing behind.
>The world spun sideways, and the cool earthen rain pressed into my cheek before all went dark.

>The next time you remember anything, you are bound and slung over the back of a horse. But not a horse as you knew them on the farm. These ones are shorter; and your face hangs only a few feet from the ground.
>Everything is agony, and you are only dimly aware of the rocking of the beast beneath you.
>You pick your eyes up, matted hair obscuring what must have been heaven. The stars are out, but somehow it is only barely evening. Fog-dimmed mountains; one of them Canterlot, rear in the distance, and in the valley below lies the twinkling lights of the life that sprawls within it.
>Life slips back in and out from there. Time and space are muted; you float endlessly in the warm haze between wakedness and tender sleep, marred only by broken starts of what occurred some nights before.

>A bucolic glade, tranquil and laden with berry bushes, with ice-cold water from early Autumn snows trickling gently into the stream below
>You'd almost wanted to yelp in delight; New England was ever bountiful and merciful. The other settlers and guards scarpered forward, eager to quench their thirst.
>The sight was so beautiful, it couldn't have been real, you think, your smile coming effortlessly as you see people - your people - feast hungrily.
>
>But even sweet nature could bear poison fruit. No sooner had the most able-bodied and agile settlers began to convulse and fit than the warhorns blew, and the winged horsemen fell from the sky.
>You know this foe - it is one of many the governor possibly warned you of. Horsefolk, he calls them.
>You raise your gaise and scream an alarm, your hand instinctively flitting for the pistol at your chest -
>A few shots of the revolver is all you manage before an armoured valkyrie smashes into you, shearing the wind and consciousness from your body.

>A sudden hitch in the horsefolk beneath you catches your breath, and you sob in agony as pain wrenches you back to reality.

I don't what to say. Obviously, a large majority of green is written by high-school grade guys who have a sort-of-'meh' grasp on most grammatical concepts and ideas. That's not a dig at them, just an observation. Urchin is either an especially advanced underage or an adult who has experience writing things like these.

>Suddenly; the world grinds to a halt, and you with it.
>There's a brief nickering amongst the horsefolk, and you hear a crescendo of tapping horseshoes, unmailed and gentle against the earth.
>The animal beneath you promptly sits, causing you to roll wildly to the ground with a clatter and another fresh retch of pain.
>Barely conscious, your eyes creak open. You do not know how long you slept in the dreams about the meadow and the ambush, and other troubled thoughts, or whether you even slept at all. The earth is still dark, though from the grey hue that surrounds the trees above and the stern faces of two facemask-clad horsefolk, it may be dawn.
>Looking up and taking in your surroundings are distant thoughts, lost in the whitewashed world of breaks and congealed blood that is your body and heart.
>All the same, you feel - though you do not see - a presence lift you up and roll you forward into a kneeling position, yet again.
>Two horsefolk trot away from you down a dry trail pockmarked with trees, red and tall. They are approached from beyond the trees by several more horsefolk, their armour silver and glinting, and in the distance, you spy a cluster of houses, a village. Life.
>They talk for a while. Multiple times your eyes roll into your head that droops between exhausted shoulders, but instantly your head is yanked back; as if someone has a strong grip on the scruff of your neck.
>They re-approach in silence. At their forefront is one that you only barely recognise to be its leader by virtue of the fact it practically dwarfs the other horsefolk that assailed you that day in the glades, and by the fact that its armour is little more than a golden pendant.
>Its fur shimmers a pristine white in the sun, and behind it trails an ethereal mane of many colours.
>Suddenly, you are aware that the horsefolk that hold you up from the side have bowed their heads.
>You stare doggedly, locking eyes with the tall, white beast as it approaches.
>>
>>29434906
>The vanguard to the horsefolk leader fan out in a square. Most of them bear sharpened pikes tipped with glaring blades, and in unison, they all lower to be carefully within a few seconds' stabbing distance.
>There is one of the horsefolk that does not oblige, and as your eyes refocus on it, it removes its helmet, revealing fur of the same and a wild mane of many colours, and two cold cerise eyes that fill you with hate.
>It walks forward, upper lip twitching. And then, when it is within arm's length, it opens its mouth and screams at you.
>You recognise it, though. It, among the others with wings, were the ones who took you by surprise.
>You'd recognise the gold armour anywhere.
>You don't move. You can't move. You hang only by the grace of the horsefolk that prop you up like a dummy as the soldier before you paces like a caged panther, spitting venom. You watch, every fibre of your being going into keeping your eyes open, your wounds howling for the relief of unconsciousness once more.
>You want to remember this one. She's the one that killed so many of your comrades, after all.
>Suddenly, the creature's wings snap open, revealing wingtips edged with a swordlike-blade. Throwing its body low with a roar, one long wing slashes through the air, blade singing
>And pauses, barely an inch from your neck.
>Still, you don't move. You don't flinch. The blade sneaks closer. The merest feather-light touch, and you feel the flesh on the side of your neck prick gently. One or two warm droplets search their way down towards your shoulders.
>>
>>29434968
>If it presses any harder, you will die. You barely recognise this, and still, you stare intently, defiantly.
>Blue glares back at you. And then, a few heartbeats later, the bladed wing snaps back to its owner's side, and the horse snorts, turning tail to leave.
>You burn its back with your gaze, dully aware that you will never forget that creature's face.
>Tall and white steps forward. Your gaze shifts upwards, and you are recieved with a benign indifference, and the cool grace of a leader. It too bears a long, fluted horn and swan-like wings, and upon its brow sits a light tiara of gold.
>"You cannot escape," she says suddenly, in quite plain, crisp English. "Nor should you try. We are deep in the mountains; and winter is coming."
>You blink once or twice, trying to register the fact that the horsefolk spoke English. But you have no time to react as the tall, white horse turns away, trotting back towards the village from which it emerged. Blue Fierce falls in step beside it, and the vanguard move away, leaving you and your immediate captors on their own.
>The grip on the back of your hair and shoulders lets go suddenly, and without the energy or will to prop yourself up, you sprawl back into the dust.

>It is at this time that you begin your quest at the heart of the world of Equestria.

Do stories you read usually not have plots or things happening in them?
>>
>Your eyes open.
>The roof above you is simple, raw; crossbeams on straw thatch.
>One of the horsefolk leans over you, studying you intently, but not looking into your own, a palomino with blue eyes and a curtain of silky pink for a mane.
>She is delicate, fragile, and unarmoured, but you are nowhere near conscious enough to understand or notice; or even feel the fire that radiates from your wounds, the burning of infection become manifest.
>All you can feel is a wash of serenity; a mask of heaviness that overcomes your limbs, and the urge to fall back into the abyss of blackness.
>You black out again.
>Into the morning, and well into the afternoon, the hours tick fast in your practice. You forgo breaks and meals.
>It is some time before somepony comes to check up on you both. A Royal Guard sticks his head in the door; his stern eyes glare at the Apeman in your charge. He meets your eye, and then retreats without a word, the door clicking shut gently.
>They are rarely far away. One or two at the door at all times, another one on break in your kitchen; with yet another outside.
>You clench the surgical thread between your teeth, and pull it tight. The stitch holds.
>Your thoughts are your own, and you'd never think to share them with the others, of course, but from the instant you laid eyes on their prisoner; bloodied and bruised, you spited their presence
>What they - she - had done to him. The amount of pain they had put him through; and for what?
>Five sets of stitches; several deep blade wounds, some that still bled lightly; and that was just to start. A fracture in the creature's skull. It - he - had lost a lot of blood. He burned and writhed. The wounds were probably infected.
>You bite your lip, trying to stay focused, and you set the burning hot needletip to a fresh cut.
>The worst part by far was that you didn't even need to exchange a word with Rainbow Dash to know what she wanted when you opened your door.
>Here, Fluttershy. Another one. Fix it up.

REEEE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY PERSPECTIVE CHANGE
>>
>>29429044
Last part finished. It's short compared to the others, but it's supposed to be. Gonna post in a few hours after revising.
Have a page 4 bump.
>>
>>29440074
>You wake again. The oak beams glimmer under candlelight. Reflexively, you try to lift your head, but a lance of pain flashes through your neck and every other part of you that flinches in response to it.
>You let your eyes do the walking. As best you can see, you are in a square, simple room. The bedroll beneath your fingertips is furry; damp where your back meets it. Cold and heat race through you, but you are too far broken to shiver. Dimly, you become aware that there is some creature slumbering nearby; measured, steady breaths.
>A wash of pink and blonde descends on you again. It's her. Whether or not she sensed you; heard you, or was still tending to you, her gaze is drawn down over your body.
>You are fascinated by her grace. You stare at her for several minutes before she even seems to take note of your wakefulness - her eyes rise a little to greet yours.
>She says something softly; gently, in a language you don't understand.
>It's only after you hear a rustling to your left that you realise that she wasn't talking to you.
>Another horsefolk face peers in over you. You don't recognise this one. It is a lot younger, male, with slender features and a splash of brown across an otherwise pale face.
>Immediately, she shoos him away, and with a sudden flurry of motion, she sets about gathering things from your left and right. The other horsfolk rises to its hooves, heading for the far side of the room where, if you strain your aching neck, you see the top of a door.
>They're leaving.
>No. You can't be left alone. Not like this.
>You might die. You don't feel anything, but you can't move, either.
>You search for the cream-coloured horsefolk's eyes, but they avoid yours. Her expression is opaque.
>>
>>29440374
I really enjoy your writing, it already seems a cut above most writefags

>>29440478
Ta.

>>29440374
>The hours that pass may be either night or day, and is deep and filled with agonies long past. You sleep where you can, your mind racing with fever. Occasionally, when you awake, something is there to press a sturdy hoof into your shoulder, and press a dark gourd against your lips, pouring a gulps of sweet relief that puts you back to the quiet world.
>A day burns, a night turns, and you drift on a mad wind through living and dying.

>"Well?" Asks the Royal Guard, somewhat impatiently. "Is he awake?"
>You blink wearily back at the centrepoint of your round table, your tail curling around your legs reflexively. You sniff once, and then reply softly.
"I suppose it depends what you mean by awake."
>The stallion snorts derisively and excuses himself, shaking his head as he does so. His helmet still hangs on the doorhook, two gold intertwined feathers on its brow the only suggestion that he was in charge.
>You watch him leave pensively. You would not be coerced to release him before you thought he was ready - an objection you had made quite firmly and calmly to the Captain, much to his dismay.
>His junior, identifiable only by a solitary gold bar on his shoulder, turns his gaze from him to you back to him. He finally decides, at length, to stay.
>"Mrs. Fluttershy," he begins, his voice youthful and cautious.
>Your glance at him without even moving your head.
>"Please forgive the Captain. I'm sure he's under a lot of pressure, and..."
>He swallows before finishing as your glare intensifies.
>"We'd appreciate knowing as soon as you're ready to move him."
>You nod once.
"Yes, of course. Captain Allbright let me know that several times now. And I will say to you what I said to him; and that is he is in no state to move."
>"Is he suffering?"
>You blink once, slightly taken aback.
>The young soldier has leant forward, slightly earnest, a clear determination to his face.
>"Well?" he asks. "Does he?"
>>
>>29440669
"I've given him enough Nightshade to keep him from ripping his stitches, like he did the first night," you reply. "I suppose he isn't, so long as I keep that up."
>The Lieutenant takes a moment to digest your words, before leaning back in his seat, staring at a silver-shod hoof, and allowing silence to return, only broken by the gentle snap of the fire.
>"Do you think he'll die?" he asks, calmly, almost distantly. He does not meet your gaze.
"I don't know," you reply honestly. "I don't know a lot about his kind. I think he's a fighter."
>"What makes you say that?"
"He has a family," you reply. "I found a pendant around his neck. It has the picture of another human in it."
>The stallion pauses, staring into the fire.
>"A wife?"
"Maybe."
>Together, you let the dust settle, and the minutes of silence rake by as you stare into your teacup.
>"Either way, we won't know until the morning if he lives," he adds, suddenly resuming the conversation. "I believe I have this night's watch." Gently, the stallion dons his helmet, and, sliding his seat away from the table, gently retrieves the long spear leaning against the doorway into your living room.
>He turns to face you before leaving.
>"If you need anything, Madam..." he adds, his face resolute in duty as he departs. Again, your only reply is a nod.
>>
>>29440714
>The night seems to drag on forever. You periodically check your patient, occasionally giving him more of the combination of Nightshade and Lambsear to keep him asleep. At some stage, you find yourself drifting into weariness; and, under the assurance from Lieutenant Flicker that you be woken if he shows sign of pain, you yourself fall into a fitful, restless sleep.

>In the morning you enter your patient's room, bandages and equipment on a tray held between your teeth.
>Narrowly, you avoid a shriek as you see that the Apeman has pulled himself up against the wall his mattress is placed against, where he lies limp, watching you like a hawk.
>The Lieutenant hears your start and immediately sweeps by you, quickly pushing you to one side. His wings settle back to his sides and his spearpoint rises as he takes stock of the situation.
>"He's up," he murmurs. "Guess that answers our question."
>You take two steps forward, the tray still held in your mouth, still looking at the creature.
>You have to change his bandages. He was running a fever and his wounds looked hot and red; they were dangerously close to an infection if not already.
>The creature does not seem to react, other than blinking. His arms lie limply to either side of him, his strange claw-like appendages palm-up towards the ceiling
>Rather than stare at him, you decide to get to work dressing his wounds. You place the tray at his side and begin to dress the leg nearest you.
>After a while of watching, the Lieutenant slowly joins you, peering curiously onwards. He utters a profanity as he sees the Ape's wounds, spectacular shades of purple and yellow with red scars sewn with black x's.
>"...The Frontiersponies really did a number on him," he says, absentmindedly.
>"...Whiskey," mumbles the Apeman.
>You both jump, and after a pause, you exchange a bewildered glance with the stallion that proved neither of you were crazy.
>"Did he just...?" the Lieutenant hesitates.
>"Whiskey," he repeats. "Whiskey."
>>
>>29440778
>A few seconds of bemusement pass before the Lieutenant breaks into a wide smile
>"Whiskey?" he says, one hoof slinking to a flask about his waist. "You like?"
>He passes a questioning glance to you. You nod once, and he retrieves a small glass from the the tray, unscrewing it and pouring a shot of the potent-smelling liquid into it before passing it to you. Gently, you lean forward and lower it to his lips.
>He drinks it down, both claws rising gently to cup the broad lid and the Lieutenant's hoof. He holds it out for another.
>Smiling, the Lieutenant hands you the flask, but as you go to refill the glass, the Ape's thin claw wraps around the flask, yanking it free with surprising strength.
"Hey, wait!--" you begin, but it is already far too late.
>The Ape tips his head back, the flask in his hand shaking as he swallows down gulp after gulp. You turn to the Lieutenant, desperate for help, but all you get in reply is a round of laughter.
>"So, the Apeman likes his drink, huh? Lucky that wasn't the good stuff..."
>You turn back, catching the empty canteen as it tumbles from the ape's grasp.
>It had to have been three-quarters full before that.
>Your eyes fall to the Ape, who now rests against the wall, eyes shut, a fraction of the fiery liquid dribbling down the corner of his mouth.

>It all comes so fast. The tranquil morning fleshes itself into existence; the horsefolk village you see before you buzzes with activity.
>Already you are arguing with your superior, knowing - fearing - what comes next.
"Sir, these horsefolk had nothing to do with the raids on James Bay!"
>"We have our orders," the Colonel replies indifferently, not even matching your gaze. He signals gently over his shoulder.
>Two dozen men walk calmly by, their rifles loaded.
>One of the horsefolk in the fields below notices you along the ridge. Stops. Points. Shouts an alarm.
>Torn, yet still unflinching, you point your own revolver at him, and pull the hammer back with your thumb.
>>
>>29440853
>A piercing scream shatters the still night, jerking you into wakefulness.
>The critters that call your bedroom their den burst into alarm, adding to the cacophony as you scramble out of bed, nearly slamming into the two privates from outside as they race from the kitchen and outside porch to where the Ape rests.
>You arrive to the door already open; and the Captain and Lieutenant already inside, but their lack of urgency and concerned stares help ground your fears.
>The ape, a shivering, sweating heap, seems to jerk into wakefulness as the two guards behind you clatter into the room.
>He is disoriented, his eyes wild and alight with something you and only you are capable of seeing in every living creature: fear.
>Eventually, after a time, his shaking lessens, and his eyes fall on you.
>"W-Whiskey," he stammers.
>You stare back at him, unafraid, and shake your head.
>"WHISKEY!" The ape yells, sinking a little bit against the wall. He adds something in his own language, nothing you can understand; a mournful howl of a pathetic creature pained within.
>Suddenly, something within you clicks. His sustained fever despite no apparent infection. The shaking. The terrified gaze in his eyes.
"No," you say firmly. "No alcohol."
>Something like panic flashes in his eyes, though you are sure he too cannot understand you. He folds in on himself, rocking like a feral animal.
>"My Goddess," one of the privates breathes. "Did the Nightshade wear off?"
>You shake your head, taking your time to gaze on the trembling, shivering beast before you.
"No. And it's not an infection that's making him delirious."
>"Then what...?" the Lieutenant asks, his voice trailing off.
>You turn away, unable to bear the sight any longer. You reach for the Nightshade mix, pouring a far stronger dose into a small spoon.
"It's withdrawal. Now hold him down, please."

That's enough character building for today. Next section we can finally see Anon out and about. Feedback TY

>Sheesh, how long does it take to solve one friendship problem? Twilight needs to stop coddling these ponies so much.
>You fidget quietly in the chair you've become all too familiar with over the past few months. If Twilight is gonna hold you hostage once a week, the least she can do is get a bigger chair for you.
>You're back in the castle library for your weekly interrogation session with Twilight. Being the only source of information on humans, you half-agreed to tell her all you know.
>You now fully regret it.
>You have better things to do than say 'I have no idea' every time Purple Smart wants you to elaborate on various subjects outside of your knowledge.
>You don't know /exactly/ how the internet works, your main focus was shitposting on various image forums.
>Good times.
>Now you're stuck here waiting for Twilight to return from her emergency official princess duties. Being the Princess of Friendship means ponies go to her everyday for problems ranging from mean comments being spoken to not sharing food.
>At least that's what you assume.
>Regardless, Twilight will return here slightly peeved over her schedule being thrown off track. You'll be annoyed too, for different reasons.
>You're meeting up with Lyra for lunch, and this delay might cause you to arrive late. You hate being tardy in general, but you're not losing your ongoing punctuality battle with her.
>Ah, Lyra.
>True to your initial thoughts, your relationship has only changed in name and frequency of being together.
>Well, not exactly.
>You've definitely become more physical with her.
>...
>With nothing holding her back, Lyra is enamored with your hands. She loves being pet right at the base of her ears, among other locations.
>'They can do it all!', she said after one particularly satisfying ear scratch.
>You wonder if she would object to belly rubs. Too intense?
>>
>>29441005
>Speaking of intense, you need to find a way to invite Lyra over for a cuddle session. Maybe offer to cook dinner and see where that goes?
>There's no way she'll misinterpret your intentions.
>The last time you held Lyra was over a week ago, during 'The Incident'.
>You don't like to think about it. But your brain won't let you forget.
>The nightmares certainly don't help either.
>Every night since then, without fail, you've had some sort of terrible dream in one way or another.
>Princess Luna can't access your dreams, so you're stuck with them for an undetermined amount of time.
>You're okay with that. You don't want her to know what you did.
>In a way, you welcome the nightmares. You can't forgive yourself for what you did, and you have no plans to.
>You were desperate and at wits end trying to achieve your goal. But you betrayed the trust of a friend, even if they didn't- and don't- know.
>There's no excuse for what you did.
>Someone like you isn't fit to wield magic. You know that now. Your aspiration is permanently in the ground, but you don't care.
>You deserve it.
>Hearing the door-handle wiggle is enough to knock you out of your musing. You look over in time to see the door open, Twilight quickly entering before shutting it with her telekinesis.
>She walks over to your chair, using a wing to wipe non-existent sweat off her brow.
>"Phew! Glad that's over with. I'm sure those two mares will learn to compliment each other equally."
>You cough into your elbow.
>Twilight takes a seat on the chair opposite you. Once settled in, she floats her quill/pen and paper over to her side before staring at you.
>Spike is somewhere long gone since today is an off-day. How he managed to convince Twilight is beyond you.
>Twilight is still staring, which is starting to get worrying. Has she finally run out of questions to ask?
>You wish.
>You can see from her expression she wants to say something. You raise an eyebrow.
"Yes?"
>>
>>29441009
>"I've heard... from sources, that you and Lyra are uhhh, 'dating'?"
>So even Twilight isn't immune to a little gossip. This is quite the shocker.
"Yea, sure. Call it what you want."
>You wave your hand dismissively.
>Twilight's reaction is not what you expected. She looks... disapproving?
>Her eyelids narrow.
>"I've also heard that your courtship involved /cuddling/."
>What.
>You thought just the sight of you and Lyra being closer than usual was the cause of this rumor. Has that mare been talking to others about what happened?
>That's not good.
>You rub the back of your head.
"Errrr, yea?"
>Apprehension is evident in your tone.
>Twilight frowns.
>"Anon, I know you know better."
>Alright, now you're just confused.
"What?"
>Twilight huffs in frustration. After all this time, she still believes what she just said.
>"You've mentioned nothing to me or anypony else about human courting rituals. What if your actions were misinterpreted by Lyra as hostile instead of friendly?"
>You blink.
>Oh man, where do you even start with this? This may become the first argument you've won against Twilight in a while.
>You take a deep breath.
"Are you serious? It's cuddling, what is there to misinterpret? It's perfectly normal."
>You pause.
"Also, it's not a human-"
>"Being held tightly by a large biped with no prior warning is hardly what I would call 'normal' in Equestria, Anon."
>Holy shit that is annoying. Sparkle, you need to be taught some manners.
>"Ponies don't completely know how you operate. You don't want to do anything that will put you in a bad light."
>Twilight's voice is stern. She's got her 'teacher' look on full blast and she's making unwavering eye contact with you.
>Oh no.
>Oh god no.
>She's going to lecture you.
>Forget the damn argument, do whatever it takes to make her shut up!
>Before the next sentence can escape her mouth, you raise your hand to stop Twilight from continuing.
"You're right, I didn't think this through. I'm sorry."
>>
>>29441012
>So much admittance of fault in one go has to be ringing 'bullshit' alarms in her head.
>If that's the case, Twilight makes no mention of it. She purses her lips before nodding briefly.
>Guess she's letting you off the hook.
>"Just keep those points in mind."
>You desperately want to shoot down her 'technically-correct-is-best-kind-of-correct' argument, but you're not risking another speech.
>You'll settle for an 'I'm kinda right' rebuttal.
"Mhmm. Well, Lyra had no complaints. In fact, I'd say she enjoyed it quite much."
>Twilight rolls her eyes.
>"So I've heard."
"What, are you jealous?"
>You can never help but make jabs at Twilight. Sadly she's finally been starting to understand you do so only to see her serious reaction.
>Gotta make these next few count.
>"What, of course not! What sort of baseless accusation is that?!?"
>Twilight is clearly flustered. She rears back slightly and glares at you.
>You ignore her question, nodding faintly to yourself as though her actions only confirm your initial thoughts.
"Yea, I think you're jealous."
>"What-... Why-"
>Twilight sputters out a few more incomprehensible words. You're proud of yourself for riling her up this much.
>"I'm NOT jealous!"
>She's still glaring at you, although the intensity has died down. Her eyes occasionally glance to the left and right, as though she's afraid to make extended eye contact.
>What stands out the most is her body language. Constant minor adjustments in her seat, like she's uncomfortable.
>And then her ears.
>Twilight told you some time ago that when a pony's ears are flicking back and forth, they're usually either nervous, on edge, or some combination of the two.
>Now this information has come back to bite her in the ass.
"No."
>You speak softly to yourself. You're having a hard time believing it.
>Twilight's scathing look is being replaced by one of concern as your eyes widen.
"No way."
>The disbelief is blatant in your tone. Your voice is getting louder.
>>
>>29441014
>Realization sinks in for Twilight. Her pupils contract and she sinks a little lower in her chair.
"No. way."
>You're wielding a full-blown grin now.
>Time for the main event.
"You ARE jealous!"
>It's a fact, and you announce it as such.
>Twilight makes no effort to contradict you. Instead she opts to look away from you and up at the ceiling, although you can still make out the blush on her face.
>You're still going, your words coming out in a sharp whisper.
"I was /joking/!"
>Twilight's head snaps back down to you, a mixture of surprise and embarrassment visible on her features.
>"How was I supposed know that?"
>You ignore her, content to cackle gleefully.
>This is fucking great. You never knew Twilight cared about anything outside of friendship and books.
>That also explains her shoddy logic against cuddling.
>Oh yea, she's not getting off the hook easily. You're on a roll.
>You manage to quell your laughter after a few seconds.
"Well, I understand. It /is/ pretty great that I can cradle Lyra like a newborn filly. Ponies are soft, did you know that? Also warm, they're very warm."
>Twilight is staring daggers at you, her cheeks also puffed out. Does she know that you're purposefully pushing her buttons?
"It's like hugging a plush animal. She's cozy, I'm cozy, it's great. Oh, did I mention that it's great?"
>Your demeanor is casual, as though there currently isn't a furious alicorn in front of you ready to burst.
>Twilight's face is a deeper shade of purple than you've ever seen it. Is she shaking?
>Time to move in for the kill.
"Truly an experience no pony would want to miss out on. Unfortunately for /you/-"
>You place your right hand over your heart.
"I'm taken."
>Perfectly executed, Anon.
>Twilight's pent-up chagrin comes flying out in full force.
>"Are you SERIOUS, Anon?!? Did you miss the part where I enunciated /crystal-clearly/..."
>You tune out her incoming lecture. As far as you're concerned, you've already won.
>>
>>29441017
>Well, Twilight's tirade will almost certainly cause you to be late for lunch. There goes your perfect attendance.
>Worth it?
>...
>You smirk.

And that's it. Short part since it's a closing act. Criticism needed, yada-yada.
Thanks for reading, hopefully at least one person enjoyed it. I have some serious work to do to improve my writing, but I enjoyed it regardless.

>>29441028
I liked that. I really did. I don't have any complaints, since this story is turning way better than expected. Oh, maybe occasional typos.
>>
>>29440900
Okay but did I miss something? What's going on, Pony war?
>>
>>29441743
There's a settler conflict between humans and ponies, I think.

>anon's captured with settlers and guards

>go to bed
>wake up
>no feeback
Guess everyone's enjoying it then.

Guess I'll post some more tonight if nobody has objections

Such is the life of writefags. We post, we sleep, we wait for replies, and we pray that our name is dropped in another thread.

>>29444541
I don't get it desu

When I started there was an audience, now this thread is ghosting

Maybe when all the Americans come home from work.
>>
>>29445222
Like /plone/, there's still interest, except no one is bothering to post anything. There's 78 IPs here. RGRE got to 250 posts with 40 IPs in less than a day. I guess there's nothing to discuss.

Also, checked.
>>
To be honest, I'm bumping this thread only for the sake of glorious Sea Urchin, may his green be long and updates frequent.
>>
>>29443031
I'll admit, you have my attention.
I have no idea what the time period is, I'm uncertain as to the motivations of the parties involved, and I don't know who the belligerents are, but you have my attention.
>>
I am interested in all three greens currently going on and I appreciate all the writefags equally, the comie scum I am.
>>
>>29446086
I'd hoped to expand on that in my story, but I guess I can see how some people want to know this now.

I guess the period is the start of the 18th century. Basic premise: humans have colonised the coast of Equestria and are moving inwards. There's a lot more political shit i was thinking of, too.
>>
>>29446509
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm fine with waiting for the story to tell the info, it was just one small perceived anachronism that had thrown me off.
I had thought Colonialism had mostly waned around the mid 1700's (Wikipedia shows this to be false), and the first revolver hadn't been invented until a bit into the 1800's (the first flintlock revolver was like 1830) and didn't become super popular until around the 1850's.
tl;dr: I talked before doing my research instead of after and now I'm paying the price for it.

This. General rule of thumb: A story is fine unless explicitly stated otherwise. People are lazy and can't be fucked to say "I liked it" or "it doesn't interest me but that doesn't mean it's bad". They'll usually come out of the woodwork to say "I really enjoyed it" or "It needs some/more work".

I agree. I'd just like to know the auditorium didn't empty out while I was talking. Being the thread-killer really takes the wind outta your sails.

>You lie, hunched in a dark corner. Your body convulses with shivering. Every night, every time you close your eyes, your imagined sins close in, threatening to devour you.
>Mercifully, the worst of the Shakes have passed. You haven't been without a drink since you joined the Army.
>On a particularly chill morning, a sudden flash of memory embraces you.
>The most beautiful woman you have ever seen. She has blue eyes and gold hair. A dog barks somewhere nearby. She laughs merrily, beckoning to you languorously as she falls back amongst a field of wildflowers.
>You shake and sob until you are hoarse.

>In the days that pass, and as the withdrawal and your wounds subside, you make steady attempts at rising to your feet.
>On the third day - the same day you manage to stand, you give walking a go.
>Your legs feel frail from disuse, and various wounds and stitches in your body feel taut, but you're able to lean against the wall, and gently hobble along, albiet with plenty of swearing.
"Fuckdamn horsefolk."
>It doesn't take long before you're noticed by your captors.
>The mare taking care of you walks in on you one day as you stand, leaning precariously with one hand against the wall.
>You look up at her, feeling alarmed; like perhaps you'd done something wrong -
>But all the little horse does is smile distantly.
>It is a shame the two armoured horsefolk that stand at the door do not do the same. They exchange a look, and one departs. You hear his metallic shoes tap down the hallway.
>It is only then that you observe the little mare bears a stringboun brown paper package on her back. She deposits it by the foot of your mattress, says something in her strange, gentle tongue to you, and then leaves.
>You wait for her, and then hobble over, picking it up and tearing the paper away...
>>
>>29450225
>As you enter out into the sunlight for the first time, you wince, holding up a hand reflexively to block a glaring, albiet brisk winter sun.
>The long robe you now wear slides down one arm loosely.
>You take some time to observe your surroundings, blinking and allowing your eyes to adjust after god knows how long.
>To the left and right are grassy fields with various stands and hutches for animals. You vaguely identify as a chicken coop by its clucking inhabitants. >A long, cobbled path snakes away from the cottage, and it hops gently over a bubbling stream before joining a larger gravel road. A fine frost has settled over most of the waterside.
"...A farm?" You breathe quietly. "Turned over to the local vet. Makes sense."
>There's a stern-sounding nicker from behind you, and something bunts you in the small of your back, making you wince.
>You turn gingerly to note your little bodyguard - presumably one of the horsefolk who've been outside your door the whole time glaring at you, his head lowered and brow drawn down in a scowl. Behind him is the mare who had taken care of you this whole time, wrapped in a scarf against the weather.
>He bunts you again, this time in the side.
"Hey, cut it out."
>The horsefolk makes no reply, but you see him take a step back, pawing at the ground with a hoof; indicating that the next one might be a bit firmer.
"I'm going, I'm going." You turn back down the steps, taking a few light steps onto the pathway.
>The horse, mollified by your apparent efforts, raises his head and follows you.
"Alright, then. Where're we off to?" You ask nobody in particular as you follow the path aimlessly towards the road. "Should I know where I'm going here, or...?"
>You shoot a dry smirk at the horse, who remains emotionless, watching you sternly.
"Not one for the jokes, I take it. I think I'll call you Billy."
>You reach the gravel, and the horse gestures for you to turn left with a flick of his head.
"So... you a sports man, Billy?"
>>
>>29450892
>You reach the local village in barely any time at all, even with you at a slow limp.
"...And that was the first home run I ever hit. Absolutely almighty. Right into the stands."
>You fan a hand out towards the fields that surround the village and its thatch-roof houses, before looking back at your captor amusedly.
>Same horse. Same scowl. Same splotch of brown over one eye. Same silver armour with two gold bars at his shoulder.
"...Farther than that, anyway," you add drily.
>You turn back, surveying the town at large.
"Thanks for not binding my hands, by the way, Billy," you say over your shoulder. "Makes the baseball imagery a bit easier."
>Billy is silent, the tapping of his hooves the only indication that both he and the mare are still following you
"...Not that I think you need it, Bill. Big strong fella like you? You could probably bust me up pretty badly again. You know; a good old sneak attack, like you guys are good at."
>Still, the horsefolk says nothing.
"...I knew a Bill once. God, he was uglier than a fuckin' mule."
>It occurs to you, in a rare moment of thought, that abusing someone in a language other than their own was more fun.
>As you enter the village, somewhat muted in the still morning, you gather your surroundings.
>There are only a few of the savages out and about, but you realise quickly this must be a larger outpost than you had thought - there are armed guards intermittently standing in packs of two and three.
>They stand out amidst a hustle and bustle of many-coloured horsefolk, trotting to and fro, some bearing baskets, some with their young trailing behind them like a procession of ducklings, others with neat saddlebags filled with food.
>You don't hesitate to look at them
>A hush falls over them, and slowly, all eyes in the village turn to face you as you walk solemnly through their streets.
"Howdy," you mutter under your breath, waving lightly. "Great to be out here tonight. Just ran here; boy is my horse tired."
>>
>>29450982
>You carve a path through the streets. Billy gets a little more aggressive with his posturing, jabbing you once or twice in the back with a hoof to keep you hobbling a little faster, but you generally disregard him, gazing around at the little slice of society you've wandered into.
>Fish are hung on lines to dry. Little ones chase eachother, and wagons approach you from the other direction, their carts filled with fruit and vegetables. You pass by a busy blacksmith, who hammers and folds blades, indifferent to your presence, focused only on the art.
>Eventually, you come to what could only be best described as a keep; perhaps a fortress embedded into an ancient tree.
>As you draw closer, you see that it's carved entirely from a giant crystal - or, perhaps, the tree itself was crystal.
>Thousands of solid faces glitter at you in the early morning sun, and as you approach its double doors twice your height and flanked by guards, you feel a tingling sensation - something that isn't your own nerves.
>Hesitating, you turn to face your escort, frowning.
"You feel that, Billy?"
>Billy ignores you, shunting you lightly to one side as he walks up to the door. The kindly mare, whose goodness you have decided to avoid making light of, stands some way behind you, giving you what you are sure is a re-assuring look.
>Perhaps she thought you were afraid?
>>
>>29451129
>A sudden white light from your periphery causes you to flinch. You turn back to see Billy's armour and bladed wings begin to glow, as if in response to a force unseen.
>The door creaks and groans, and then begins to shimmer with an opaque blue light, pulling itself outwards and open.
>In the doorway stands the tall, white mare, who regards you once again with her stately presence.
"What on God's green earth?..." you utter, unable to control yourself.
>"The Magic of Harmony," the mare says once, slowly, calmly.
"The magic of what?"
>"In your tongue, I believe 'magic' is the right word. Unless my English is not correct?"
>She cocks her head at you quizzically while you try to find your tongue.

>You are desperate.
>You’re sitting on your apartment floor sulking. You cannot afford to pay rent. You’re being kicked out tomorrow.
>You were just fired from your desk job. You’re really fucking depressed.
>No family to help you, no friend to lend a hand.
>Booze is your fuel, your motivation. It’s what keeps you going.
>What you’re doing is autistic, and very rash.
>You draw out a hexagram with a sharpie, and complete it with a circle.
>You place a single Nyx plush in the center, and six candles on each point of the star.
“Please, please… hear me. I no longer wish to live in this word. I have nothing here! I WILL DO ANYTHING, JUST PLEASE TAKE ME!”
>After some screeching with the kitchen knife in your hand, you sloppily sever Nyx’s head.
>The plush’s beads spill out into the circle. There was one thing left to do.
>You lay your head into the center of it all, and begin to sob.
”I’m such a fucking degenerate, I don’t deserve to live…”
>Ten minutes, and it should work… Wait, you think you forgot a step.
>You look up from the mess you made. Nothing. Fuckin’ bullshit dude.
>In a fit of pure rage, you kick all of the candles and attempt to punt the plush, causing you to stumble and hit your head against the wall.
>Hello darkness my old friend...

>You awake with a splitting headache and bright ass light shining in your face.
>Doing stupid shit last night, weren't you. You should probably get up and beg the apartment manager some extra time to pay rent.
>You raise a hand to try to evade the light.
>"Oh good, he's awake."
>Your heart lurches.
"The fuck--Who's there!?"
>You shoot up and cover your face.
>"Um, Tenderheart. You can stop that now."
>"Oh, my bad... You're in the hospital sir. How are you feeling, um... What's your name?"
>You're taken aback by how soft this woman's voice was. You try to look to where the voice came from.
>Probably should try opening your eyes, dumb ass.

>You’ve already got telekinesis down pat.
>It’s pretty weak considering you’ve only got six spells sapping energy from the air.
>Generally speaking, that would be more than enough to create an item of absurd magical power, but of course those are objects native to Equestria and are already infused with magic.
>You’re starting clean, so you’ve got a lot farther to go.
>But hey, you’re on the way.
>You can already move a whole couch a few inches and, considering Greymane struggles with a fucking pencil, that puts you above a unicorn.
>A pitiful unicorn, sure, but your pride doesn’t know that.
>The plainly visible magic streams around the room are enough proof for you to say that your detection spell is functioning fine.
>Next is the sobering spell.
>Now, with the modifications you made, it should act passively.
>All you need to test it is to get shitfaced.
“Aw fuck,” you shout and open the fridge. “All dandelion beer!”
>You can’t get drunk off this!
>Or can you?
>The taste is so vile you’ve never tried any more than a bottle.
>Maybe if you balled up and threw back a few, you could get drunk.
>Kind of drunk?
>A light buzz.
>Whatever, it’s worth a shot, you guess.
>You reach into the fridge and pull out two bottles.
“Two bottles of pony brew?”
>Yeah, better make it five.
>Six to be sure.
>You know, seven is a lucky number.
>With seven bottles of beer wrapped in your magical grip, you pop the tops and hover one over to your waiting lips.
>The golden liquid spills forth into your mouth.
>Something inside you dies as it the beer washes over your taste buds.
>You cringe into yourself, trying to escape from the liquor.
>It’s like if you were a ball sack and the beer was the cold, except that’s also actually happening and now you’re just cold and trying to get drunk.
>God damn it this is going to be a while.
>You pull the bottle away in disgust.
>>
>>29458617

>Despair, but also despair as you realize you’ve only made it halfway through.

>Man up, Anon. Nobody ever got anywhere by stopping halfway.
>Steeling yourself, you wave your finger and bring the bottle to your lips again.
>You quickly plug your nose to try and stop the taste from registering.
>It mostly helps, but even with the plug, you can still taste it if only from the memory.
>Then there’s the texture issue.
>It doesn’t feel like real beer. You don’t know how to explain it really, but it’s just wrong.
>If you had lunch in the last few days, you’d have risked losing it.
>Thankfully all your food went bad a while ago so you haven’t actually eaten anything.
>Hey, empty stomachs mean better alcohol absorption too.
>Things are looking up for you.
>Before you can even think about it, the current bottle is done and you’ve already started on another.
>Like that, you just down beer after beer until you’re on the last bottle.
>Your stomach hurts and your throat burns.
>Should you do it?
>Your body is saying no.
>Your mind is also saying no.
>Everything about you is saying no.
>Ok, that’s cool. Experiment over, you gues--
>Tricked you!
>Suddenly you’re guzzling down the dandelion mixture like there’s no tomorrow.
>Your foolish body never saw it coming.
>It had been building up for a while, but now with the addition of the last bottle, a sickness rises from your stomach.
>You throw the emptied beer away and lean over the sink.
>From your gaping mouth, strands of flower flavored saliva spill out and collect in the drain.
>Oh man, it’s coming up.
>No, wait. You can hold it down.
>Count to ten.
>The tightness in the the back of your throat settles down as time ticks on.
>>
>>29458625

>When the danger is gone, you groan and pull away, somewhat amazed that you’re still not drunk.
>Did the beer just not hit you?
>Disgruntled, you crane your neck to peek at your shoulder where the runes for the soberness spell lie.
>They’re glowing in the same way that all your markings do when the spell is in use.
>So, like, is it working?
>You don’t feel too drunk.
>You’ve also never been drunk either so that doesn’t help.
>No, wait, there was that one time at the Christmas party with Aunt Lucinda.
>What was that like?
>You remember feeling very out of control of yourself. Also warm, happy, and unsure. Most of all, confident.
>Currently you are in control of yourself, cold, and unhappy.
>That said, you are very sure of yourself and are confident in your abilities.
>That’s enough evidence for you to say you’re not drunk and that the spell is working.
>Nice. Three down, three to go.
>What’s the heaviest thing in your room right now?
>You scan your surroundings for anything suitable.
>Eventually they land on a small box of pretty rocks you had been collecting to one day sell in town.
>In the limited light of your cabin, the colorful stones are still plainly visible if only by their intense hues.
>It’s a fairly big box, maybe big enough to fit a cradle into.
>Filled with rocks, you would put its weight at about sixty pounds.
>Yes, that will do.
>You hold your hand out to it as if to manipulate it with your telekinesis.
>In your mind, you picture all the light things you can.
>Feathers, pencils, papers, even the air.
>Replace the rocks with those thoughts.
>Let the contents of that box become feathers.
>>
>>29458633

>It’s wrapped in a lavender aura.
>The rocks inside shake, clattering against each other.
>Lightness. Weightlessness.
>The rocks are nothing. The rocks are nothing.
>The sound coming from the box becomes higher pitched.
>Yes, it’s working.
>That will do for now, you decide.
>Lowering your hand, you end the spell and cut the magic from your branding.
>You walk over to the box of rocks and kneel down.
>Gently, you brush your finger against the edge.
>Your nail scrapes along the cardboard.
>Without even enough force to squash a bug, you’ve pushed the once hefty item nearly a foot away.
“Yes!”
>You leap up and grab the edge of the box in your hand, hoist it over your head, and throw it across the room.
>Before its contents can escape, you take the near weightless object into your magical grip and stop it dead.
>One hand is tied to the box, which you move away from the rocks.
>The other hand, bound to the stones, begins to work a different kind of magic.
>This is the fifth spell you bound yourself with.
>If all goes well, you should be able to turn all these tiny silicates into one huge mass.
>Your power over stone, the earth itself, radiates from your hand.
>Your detection spell allows you to see magic reach out from your fingertips and wrap around each individual rock.
>The wrap around each other, tying the particles of every rock into the next.
>Two out of the collection fuse together.
>The blue and red stones become one purple chunk of earth and are quickly followed by many others.
>Soon, those bigger chunks are also combining to form newer, even larger and increasingly fewer rocks until you’re left with what amounts to a boulder.
>It’s still the same size as the initial collection. The volume is there, as well as the mass.
>But hey, this is magic. Let’s break a few laws of physics.
>>
>>29458647

>You set the box down and grab the rock with your telekinesis so as to focus the earth spell totally on what you’re about to try.
>You pick one portion of the boulder, a small dip on the side facing you, and connect your fingertip to it metaphorically speaking.
>Alright, rock. Grow.
>Slowly, you pull your finger away.
>There’s some resistance.
“Come on, don’t be difficult,” you grunt and return to the starting position.
>With some effort, you force a little more magic through your finger to power the spell.
>With improved grip and a little more fuel, the stone should obey you.
>You try once more to pull your finger away.
>Yes!
>It’s small, but you can see it.
>The small dip in the face is gradually flattening out.
>Come on, let’s make it a bulge.
>You can do it, Anon.
>The next few minutes are spent with you trying to create matter and, despite what some physicists would have you believe, succeeding.
>You’ve managed to turn this low point into a tiny bulge, giving the rock a very odd shape indeed, but a satisfying one as it’s a testament to your power.
>By the time you’re happy enough with the spell to call it quits, you’re barely able to even hold the rock up.
>Suddenly all its weight returns at once.
>In order to keep it from crashing through your floor, you’re forced to use both hands to grab it.
>The sheer force of it brings you to your knees.
>Sweat pours down your forehead as your telekinetic might is put to the test.
>Gently, you set the boulder down, bending your floorboards as it comes to rest.
>Once safe, you drop the spell and fall forward, propping yourself up on your elbows.
>Your body feels like lead.
>Holding your head up right now is a trial.
>>
>>29458655

>Jeez, you really drained yourself doing that.
>Your increased efforts with the boulder sapped all the juice you had stored within you.
>Every active spell you were managing suddenly shut down, and even the passive ones are only working at half strength.
>Your cheeks turn rosy and an all too familiar sense of peacefulness comes with it.
>Yes, this is the drunkenness you were staving off.
>Undeniably, the sobering spell had been working. Now drained of your magic, it can only manage so much.
>That’s fine though. In time, your body will absorb enough magic again and you’ll feel fine.
>This was a test is all, and now that you know where your limits are with most of the spells, you feel content in taking a nap.
>Why, you bet that when you wake up, you’ll be at 110%.
>You might even indulge yourself and go get a bite to eat with the money you still have saved from working for Cherilee all those moons ago.
>Hey, speaking of, you almost feel obligated to fuck with her.
>Yeah, play ghost while she’s running class.
>You could knock over a few books and--
>Wait, you can’t. Your magic has a distinct color aura. Anyone would know it was you.
>Or rather, they would know it was someone in general.
>Damn, pony thieves have it rough apparently.
>You’ll have to figure out a way around that before you try to mess with anybody.
>For now though, it’s time for sleep.
>With a heave, you try to lift yourself off the ground.
>The strength just isn’t there though.
>You fall flat on the cold, hard, splintered floor.
“Yeah, I guess this is good enough,” you mumble.
>A foot away lays a rug.
>Somehow you manage to pull it on top of yourself as an impromptu blanket.
>All that’s left to do is pray you don’t get a splinter in your nipple while you sleep.

And that's all for tonight. Yeah, yeah, it was short. For those who are considering suing me for more, wait! I can come back with more tomorrow, so leave the lawyers at home. Also if I get sued, there's a good chance I'll be too tangled up with court proceedings to write anything so you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot there anyway.

Once more, I would like to thank all the dear readers who have been keeping up with the story so far. To any new readers, I extend to you this gift of a fully updated pastebin so that you can catch up without sifting through all these threads http://pastebin.com/5ECNnjxF

>Oh cool, you ARE in a hospital, and laying in a white bed.
“Where are my clothes?”
>Shouldn't you be in a hospital gown and not butt-fucking naked?
“You didn’t have any on when we found you.”
>Hey, what’s that blue and green thing in the corner of your eye?
>Your gaze is met with a warm smile and large eyes.
>That’s bullshit, humans shouldn’t have eyes that big.
>Your head is still pretty foggy. You must have nearly drank yourself to death this time.
>Disregarding what you see, you blink a few times.
>The light blue mare with green hair isn’t going away. Fuck, why is it reminding you of something?
>Seeing shit. Might as well go with the flow.
>That mare must be Tenderheart.
>Didn’t she say something?
“Uuhh--Yeah the name’s Anonymous, and I think I’m seeing things. Why am I here?”
>Another mare this time white with pink hair joins the other nurses side at your bed.
>”Wait, I’ll tell you what we know in a second. Hallucinations? How vivid are they?”
>You blink some more at the two mares, and scratch your head.
>Ouch, that hurt. Bandages cover your head. Must have hit your head real good last night.
“Like… Very real, but cartoonish…”
>Something clicks into place.
“..and it’s like you’re something from MLP.”
>That brings up even more uncertainty. What exactly were you doing last night?
>But first, holy shit they’re going to think you're straight retarded.
>”Uh, MLP? Isn’t that like a ping-pong thing or something? Redheart, we’re going to have to get Dr. Bluepill!”
“Wait… No you’re horses not pingpong!”
>You cringe at your sudden outburst.
>Redheart trots up to the side of your bed gazing into your eyes, while narrowing her own. “Hmm, you certain you’re hallucinating?”
>Holy fuck this is surreal. You reach out to the mare.
“Let me feel you… I need to see if this is real.”
>Redheart looks past you to Tenderheart, who just shrugs.
>”Sure… Go ahead, Anonymoose.”
>You reach over and slowly bring your hand into contact with her face. Her fur is soft and very real.
>>
>>29458690
Thanks buddy
>>
>>29458881
>You flinch. You didn’t expect to feel anything at all.
>Realization hits you. You remember all of last night.
>It actually worked, didn’t it? That or you put yourself into a coma.
“Nope, no hallucinations… Just a headache. So um… Mrs. Readheart. What happened?”
>Redheart returns to Tenderheart's side.
>You push your legs over to the side of the bed, ready to try walking. You remember how very naked you are.
>Naked cartoon horses shouldn't care. Do they even have genitals?
>You're reassured to find yours still there.
"You were laying on the hospital's door steps, literally. We couldn't get you awake which is when we noticed the large bruise on your head, and your cracked skull."
>"Were you assaulted? Do you remember anything, like how you were hurt?" Tenderheart adds.
>Actually, I was performing some autistic ritual and hit my head all while drinking.
"I don't know."
>"I have reported this and perhaps somepony will have some clue as to what happened. Somepony had to have dropped you off here. I figure you were attacked and maybe your attacker is the one left you here, because of course nopony seen anypony drop you off, which wouldn’t be something a friend would do. Another thing I've never seen your kind here in Ponyville, which adds to the bizarreness of the matter. Honestly I’ve only seen some species that sort of look like you."
>Being in a coma must suck if this is one.
>You rise onto two feet. You're lightheaded.
>That and realizing you have nowhere in the room to try to walk to, you sit back down.
>"We want you to stay here for the night, and have a doctor to come and check up on you. Our magic has healed you for the most part, but it can only do so much. Your injury should be healed, just sore."
>Where would you even go, now that you were here?

I'm going to play around with this story more tomorrow. Hope it brings any interest.

>You think back to last night. How did that even work? Some supernatural forces must have heard upon your plea and granted your wish.
>Fuck, you was drunk. In a sober mind, you don’t think you would have ever thought that would work. Thank god for booze.
>Maybe you died in this was your personal heaven.
>Couldn’t be, you’re one atheist fuck. He would have sent your ass straight to hell. God earns some serious homie points if he exists though. Think about it later Anon.
>Euphoria briefly washes over you at the opportunity of new life this world presents.
>You look into Tenderheart’s eyes. Boy, those eyes make you feel nervous. She’s one cute mare.
>But you are human; not horse. There is Spike and Rarity, surely incompatible species can form those sort of feelings. Just your luck: let it be every species but pony can.
“Well um, Anonymouse sir, if you need anything, just request for our assistance.”
>Looks like you’re laying your first day in bed.
>You sigh, and snuggle back into your pillow.
“Thanks, I appreciate all the help… am I going to be billed for this?”
>”I don’t see why we would. We do this for the goodwill of ponykind.”
>Ah, they must be paid by the government or something from tax dollars. Fucking liberals, I want to pay for my healthcare.
>The two nurses nod your direction and head off out of your room, shutting the door.
>You look around your environment. Boring. White and dull. A box on the wall with a red cross. A mirror on the wall to its side.
>Lets see how much damage you’ve done.
>You’re back to your feet, and you don’t feel dizzy this time. You notice a blanket on the floor next to your bed, and swipe it into your grasp. You tie it around your neck to form a cloak-like thing to cover your body. Something about going naked doesn’t feel right.
>Your tense muscles do not react well to the change in motion, and it hurts somewhat to get going.
>Your form stares back at you in the mirror.
>>
>>29462419
>Your bandages are likely unnecessary because they said you’re healed. It might just be there to keep down swelling.
>You pull at the bandages which are wrapped tight around your head. You tear at the ones that wrap under your chin and the whole thing comes off with ease.
>Turning your head discloses no abnormal marks or missing hair. Good to know horse magic works on you.
>Absolutely nothing about you changed. Apart from a nagging headache, you feel ready to explore.
>On a second thought, they wouldn’t think very well of you to just get up and leave after you were asked to stay the night. Fuck it, it was no different than how you came here anyway.
>You open up the red cross medicine box. You sift through the cabinet and find what you are looking for. Sick, a bottle labeled painkillers. You don’t know how strong they are, so you just take half a pill.
>Let's think of a plan, Anon. How can you go about leaving here without getting caught?
>You walk up to the window and look about the landscape. To your luck you are on the bottom floor.
>It looks to be about evening. Waiting until night would almost defeat the purpose. You also have nowhere to go in particular either way.
>You find a hatch on the bottom of the window, and pull it open. Your body is met with a slightly cool, refreshing air.
>Out we go. Let’s introduce the world to Anonymous.
>You easily escape sight of the hospital. Hopefully your disappearance doesn’t incite anyone’s concern. You know it will.

>A good two hundred yards ahead of you lie houses, and just ahead of that rests the town hall.
>The right of you lies a creek, which separates you from a forest full of apple trees.
>Your stomach growls and your throat burns.
>You drop down to the bed of the creek, and get your fill, the cool water soothing your throat.
>Hopefully there aren't parasites or bacteria in ponyland.
>You untie your cloak and toss it over the creek. Almost over the creek.
“Goddamnit”
>The current swiftly carries it along and pulls it under.
>Good job, you lost your only possession. Whatever, it’s stolen.
>You wade through the water, making it to the other side. You shiver as a breeze blows through.
>Winter must be coming soon.
>You find a short enough tree that you can reach from.
>You jump up and swipe one out of the tree. Tastes nice and sweet. You could handle a couple more.
>You finish your last apple, and you notice the pain ebbing away. Part of it must have been because of how hungry you were.
>Feeling rejuvenated, you decide to go pay applehorse a visit.
>You look about the forest. Nothing but several hundred acres of apple trees.
>A dirt road cuts through it all, likely leading to the farm. You also find a bridge not a hundred feet from where you stand. How did you not see that before?
>You shudder. Your actions feel they aren't that of your own.
>The absurdity of the entire situation you're in dawns upon you. You’re buttnaked in Ponyland, with no real sense of direction or purpose, and now you’re going to see your least favorite pony.
>The dirt road isn’t very pleasant to walk on. It is littered with rocks. Not only that, the dirt clings to your still damp feet.
>Probably should have just stayed in the hospital. Holy fuck you’re a retard.
>You trek along the road for a good ten minutes before you finally come to a stop. Your feet fucking hurt man.
>This isn’t helping your already deteriorating state of mind.
>>
>>29458673

>Eugh, what time is it?
>Your eyes peel open, stinging from the morning.
>It’s morning, right?
>You shift and, with hands placed firmly on the floor, dedicate yourself to standing.
>Apparently your sleep reenergized you more than you thought it did.
>Getting up is a lot easier than you thought it’d be.
>The rug that was draped across your back falls onto the floor.
>Half assedly, you kick it back into place so the fluffy red top is near--but not too near--the fireplace.
>Now, what should you wear out?
>The fact that your magic itself isn’t very strong right now coupled with the fact that you’re fairly easily drained by excessive spell usage makes you still wary of revealing your runes to the public.
>You need something heavy duty to hide yourself from anyone.
>You find a tank top and tuck that into your underwear.
>Next on is a tee shirt that goes into your leggings.
>On top of that is a button up which you secure tightly into your pants with the tightest notch on your belt.
>Finally, a nice, big jacket goes over it all.
>There. It should take Heaven and Hell combined to show your skin off.
>You head over to your drawer and remove all the bits saved up from Cheerilee.
>This should be enough to buy something.
>You’re not too sure on the prices in Ponyville, but you do know that two days of work back on Earth would be enough for a dinner.
>You’re inclined to believe that carries over into Equestria.
>After pocketing those, you head out and forge through the snow.
>>
>>29466980

>When you arrive in Ponyville, the ponies all greet you like you’re their best friend or something.
>”Top of the morning, Anon!”
>”Hey, it’s been a while! We should totally catch up!”
>For the most part, you ignore their words and focus on your sight.
>With your detection spell, you’re able to see the magic strings that connect the world flowing into every one of them.
>It’s interesting, you think, where the magic seems to flow.
>The pegasi have a focus on their wings. Unicorns, obviously, have it tied to their horns.
>Earth ponies are a tad different.
>The magic seems to be attached to their largest muscle groups.
>The word “fraud” comes to mind.
>As you’re totally not stalking anybody, a small mint colored pony approaches you.
>She raises her hoof up, expecting a fistbump you’re sure.
>”What’s up, Manticore Man?”
“Excuse you,” you say. “I’m far above a manticore.”
>Oh shit, shut the fuck up.
>”What do you mean? Of course you are. Anon, I saw you take its throat out. You saved us! You’re the Manticore Man!”
>No, you were nothing then.
>Your victory over the manticore was a stroke of luck at best.
>Now you’re strong.
>Now you’re worth the praise, but you can’t reveal it all yet.
>You just have to keep it a secret for another few days and then you can revel in the riches your newfound strength will surely bring.
>>
>>29466989

>”What do you mean?”
“I’m sorry?”
>”Why do you have to wait a few days?”
“Did I say all that out loud?”
>”Yes,” confirms Lyra.
>Anon!
>Come on!
>Fuck!
>Quick, shift the topic.
“Know any good restaurants around here?”
>She rubs her chin with her hoof, lost deep in thought.
>”Yeah, I guess. Hay Heffer’s Hay and Barley Grill is pretty alright. A little pricey, but it’ll fill you up for sure.”
>She gasps and smiles, then jumps towards you.
>”Are you asking me out?”
“What? No, don’t be crazy. I’m hungry.”
>”Oh. I mean, I know that. I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out. I like being with my friends, you know?”
“Yeah, have fun with that.”
>You maneuver past her and start on your way again, looking for Hay Heffer’s.
>Jeez, how many times have you walked through this town and you’ve never actually paid attention to the buildings?
>Well, a myriad of things got in your way before.
>Now though, nothing can get in your way.
>You’ve got the world in the palm of your hand.
>You’ve also got twenty bits in the palm of your hand.
>Now you have a doorknob in the palm of your hand, but not the hand the bits are in.
>Hay Heffer’s restaurant stands just before you, and when you open the door, you’re slammed with the scent of a farm.
>>
>missed trips
Sorry guys, I'm killing myself. Story over. Everyone go home.

>>29466998

>”Welcome to Hay Heffer’s Hay and Barley Grill! I’m Hay Heffy, how can I help you?”
>You reel back as the tiny yellow earth pony jumps out of nowhere and gets right up in your face.
>Maybe this was a mistake.
>You could be home putting some more runes on yourself.
>Of course, that would take quite the toll on your body and given how much you’ve already starved yourself, that’s not something you’d like to risk.
>You’re still unsure just how this whole soulless husk thing works, so you’d prefer to play it safe if you can.
>Sadly, that means giving into typical living people shit, like eating.
>Hell, you should probably put these bits toward a grocery store for that matter.
>You track down a menu over the counter across the room and read the prices.
“Hey, not bad,” you say.
>The Heffy grabs your hand and pulls you in.
>She takes you through a maze of seats and sits you down flat in a booth.
>”Would you like to try our special Hefty Hay Fries? They come with your choice of hay batter dipping sauce or applesauce.”
“That sounds absolutely disgusting, and no. Just bring me a salad.”
>”And what would you like on it?”
>Chicken.
“What kind of dressing do you have?”
>”We have hay dressing.”
“And?”
>”And what?”
“Alright, just plain then.”
>She retreats to the kitchen to prepare your one bit bowl of greens and veggies.
>Obviously you have no idea how bits work because this seems like one hell of a bargain for a restaurant that Lyra described as “pricey”.

And that's all for tonight. Now, I know what you're thinking, and the answer to your question is if this post is dubs, more tomorrow. If not, then I'll be too busy setting up a date with a rope and sturdy rafters to write anything. Here's hoping I see you guys tomorrow.

>In the distance you locate the red house and barn, with it plowed fields and crops.
>The sun sets across the horizon, the landscape succumbing to a dull gray.
>You’re now at the front door of the house, and knock a few times.
>You wait a full minute. Nothing.

“Anonymous… but you can call me Anon. I really appreciate this, by the way.”

>The entire house is made up of wood, the walls being actually pretty southern and ornate. You follow Applejack to your room.
>”Yer welcome, Ahnon. Here’s your are. I can bring ya somethin’ to eat, if you’d like.”
>You plop down into your bed and sigh. You’re pretty tired from a good hour of walking.
>”Yeah, that would be great.” You smile at her, and she leaves you alone in the room.

>Better than being in a hospital bed. This place is pretty cozy.
>Applejack is back carrying a bowl of stew with her mouth, and sets it on the bed for you. You graciously accept and give her your thanks.
>“Hmm, I was thinkin’ Ahnon. You could work on the farm here, and I could pay, feed, and of course let ya sleep here when you get feelin’ better. I’d also like ya to meet a friend of mine. She should be able to help us figure out who did this to you. Curious, do ya remember why you was traveling here in the first place?”
“Umm…”
>You don’t really want to fake amnesia, it would just create problems for you in the future. You’re likely the only human here, and certain she would know of any bullshit place you could say you came from.
>God damnit, you’re going to have to fake amnesia.
“I don’t actually remember all the details...”
>You feel the urge to reveal your knowledge about the show. You could pretend to be omniscient. Hell, your situation would likely get you a meeting with all of the princesses. But now isn’t the time.
>A place to stay and food, and you’ll earn a few bits. That doesn’t sound too bad.
“I’ll take up your offer...”

>She also wants you to meet one of her friends, probably Twilight.
>Twilight… She knows what humans look like, doesn’t she? You don’t really look like humans do in EQG, but you do resemble one quite a bit. If story got around about a strange creature found at the hospital, the descriptions would surely match what Twilight is familiar with. She would probably think you came through the portal.
“...And who’s this friend you want me to meet?”
>You forgot about the bowl in your hands. You wonder how they use spoons exactly.
>Eww fuck, it has cabbage in it. Well, it isn’t that bad, so stop being a bitch Anon.
>”Well, to be honest, you sorta remind me of somethin’ she once told me about. I bet she’d know how to help ya. Don’t worry, she’s real nice and all, I bet you’d like her.”
>>
>>29472898
>You have absolutely no good reason to object. But fuck, you’re going to have to spill some of the beans later.
“Thanks, for all of this. I can’t wait to meet her.”
>”I’m going to hit the hay, Ahnon. Just sit that bowl on the nightstand when you're done, ok?”
>You nod, and wish her good night. You finish every drop of the stew, and set it to the side.
>Time to get even more sleep.
>The bed invites you in, and you wrap yourself in the blankets.

>You find yourself back amid a place all too familiar. You rise from the floor, and find yourself lying still where you stand. A single nail protrudes from the wall, the accessory in which help inflict this fate upon you. Your attention falls upon your lifeless body.
>Your head is gushing blood, contributing to the pool that grows around it. You reach down, trying to cover the wound with your hand, as if to conclude it’s never ceasing flow. The blood runs red through your fingers, proving no avail. You cry out in terror, as you watch your life end before you from your foreign eyes.
>”There is no going back…”
>Your body’s features dissolve, and the room melts. You’re left afloat in endless nothingness, engulfed in its darkness.
>Your screams do not traverse the the air. It leaves you breathless, it becoming thicker than tar. Your limbs refuse to take action against your plight.
>”Everything comes at a price.”
>As if a hand grasps your body, you feel you're being crushed.
>A single light penetrates the darkness; the nail from before accelerates and collides with your skull, the very spot from before.
>You awake screaming, with that voice resonating in your mind. Phantom pain shoots through your head.
>Sunlight pierces through the windows. Shouts of alarm sound throughout the house.
>You grab hold the side of your head.
>Bigmac, Applebloom, and Applejack rush into the room.
>The scene you cause leaves you embarrassed.
"Um, Anon, you OK?"
>>
>>29465600
Thanks for telling us about and explaining Anon's personality. I don't know how we would have figured it out otherwise. I'm also glad you revealed the ending. Wow, it sure would have stunk to have had to find out he learns his lesson for ourselves.
>>
>>29473020
>Applebloom stands next to your bed, her eyes wide with concern. Applejack and Bigmac look somewhat relieved when they find nothing to be wrong.
>You stop grasping your head and sigh.
“Just a bad dream… I’m alright.”
>”You sure were screaming awfully loud, I’d thought you was dyin’ or somethin’.”
>You blush.
“I’m sorry if I woke any of you up... I’m feeling okay now.”
>You get up out of bed and stretch.
>Applejack trots up to you.
>“How’s your head feelin’?”
>You rub where the nail hit your head, almost expecting it to find it lodged there.
“Fine actually… not foggy anymore.”
>”That’s good. I was actually ‘bout to come wake ya up. Ah’ve made breakfast, come on.”
>You follow Applejack and the others out and sit down at the kitchen table.
>Applejack gestured to the seat next to hers where you sit.
>”Now ah didn’t know exactly what all you’d eat, hope you like it.”
>You look around the table. Applebloom was already eating and Big Mac was staring at you with an expressionless look. He nods and continues eating.
>She made Hashbrowns, eggs, and apple slices, and a glass of orange juice. They probably eat apples with about everything.
“Oh yeah, this is what I’d eat back at home.”
>”You dig into your hashbrowns and eggs. Damn that’s good.
>Applebloom looks at you curiously as you sip your juice.
>”What exactly brings ya around here, Ahnon?”
>You look over to Applejack, who obviously didn’t explain much of your situation to her.
“Sort of a long story… I was traveling to find someplace else to live... and something knocked me out and I woke up near your farm.”
>Applejack stops eating and wipes her mouth with a napkin.
>”Don’t worry, we’ll figure out what happened to ya. Ah actually want us to go see Twilight today.”
“Twilight's the friend you was talking about?”
>”Oh. Yeah, I thought we could leave out a-”
>”Now why didn’t y’all tell me breakfast was made? Yer ol’ granny is gonna starve to death!”

I take that back, and I don't see how that's the ending either. I wasn't going to right anything like that anyhow.

>>29473604
>Granny Smith storms into the kitchen with a displeased look, and her eyes meet yours.
>”Um Granny, you just got done eating breakfast earlier.”
>“What’s this thing doin’ here? Ah didn’t know we had company.”
>Fuck this bitch you aren’t a thing.
“I have you know I’m fully sentient and not a bloody animal.”
>She narrows her eyes at you.
>”What’s a bloody animal have to do with anything--You said ah ate already? Huh, ah guess ah don’t feel hungry anyway. Y’all need to get ta’ work, farm can’t run itself, and winter's comin’!”
>She does an one-eighty and leaves the kitchen.
“That was… unexpected.”
>Applejack looks at you and shrugs. ”Sorry, Grannies like that sometimes.”
>You focus on finishing your breakfast and then help clean up.
>”Ah’d like to leave now. Big Mac, could ya watch the farm? Applebloom should be getting to school too.”
“First, you think I could get something to wear? I don’t exactly have any fur.”
>Or a sheath either.
>”Ah don’t know of anything that would fit you, but ah guess ah could look.”
>You follow her up to a closet in which she pulls out a vest and some pants. No idea why they would keep those.
>She hands them to you, and you slip on the vest first. Surprisingly it fits you, the sleeves are just extra big to accommodate hooves. The pants are the same way, and just a little short on you.
“Wouldn’t happen to have shoes that would fit me?”
>”Hmm, ah don’t think we have any... Nope, sorry.”
>Better than nothing.
>You and Applejack make your way into Ponyville. The air is somewhat cool. You feel much better than you did yesterday, your thoughts no longer feel clouded. You realize just how stupid you were being.
>You wouldn’t be where you are now, though. Well, maybe, but who knows what could have happened.
>Ponies catch sight of you, some in awe. They smile and wave at you two as you make your way through town.

Not really where I'd like to stop, but I can only fit so much in a single post. I'll try making updates tomorrow.

You're a dumbass for giving away what could have been a good plot point. Not like any of its good

A good thing to do to help out people when you want to see them improve is to EXPLAIN!

Unless you're a troll...

I think my post was straightforward. The author doesn't need to tell the readers about their characters or the story since it's already in the story. The reader should be able to figure it out for themselves. If you've made it clear and they don't get it, they're stupid. If it's unclear and they don't get it, you need to work on your writing. Either way major plot points and character motivations are not things that should be casually doled out by the author.

I agree - author should have spoilered that post to avoid upsetting autistic readers.

Thanks for the motivation

I don't plan characterizing anon that way anymore just because of that lil fuckup, and I never really wanted to anyhow. I was really just brainstorming more or less when I said that.

I'm also the other writefag Ritefrend. I'm probably going to drop the other story for now. I had wrote out much more of the story over the past week but its just doesn't fit into the thread anymore.

>You’re left there in your booth to stew while the kitchen ponies do their thing behind closed doors.
>While you wait, you track the trails of magic around the room, noting where they connect to everything.
>There’s a few strands that travel into the horns of a few unicorns three booths down from you.
>Wait, you know those ponies.
>That’s Colgate and Moondancer, Twilight’s friends from Canterlot.
>She had tried to introduce you to them once, but Colgate’s outward personality without the charm of Pinkie Pie turned you off from her.
>Moondancer refused to interact with someone who had no magic.
>Pompous cunt.
>Now, if you’re not mangling Twilight’s words in your memories, Moondancer should be the more talented unicorn out of the pair.
>You notice that her horn is connected to a few more strings of magic than Colgate’s.
>Alright, so the stronger one’s magic is, the more strands enter them.
>Right?
>Curious, you examine yourself.
>How many do you have?
>The number that you come to is quite the disappointing one.
>You twist, trying to see if any are going into your back.
>No? Well, shit.
>By your calculations, you’re currently weaker than even Colgate.
>Fucking Colgate.
>Are you kidding?
>”Salad’s here!”
>Christ in a candy shop!
>You nearly jump out of your skin when the yellow mare makes herself known to you.
>She slams a wooden bowl overflowing with lettuce down in front of you.
>The table shakes from the force, and a few tomato slices fall onto it.
>”Is there anything else I can get you?”
“Uh, yeah, sure,” you stammer and search for a fork. “Get me some water.”
>”Sure thing! That will be ten bits.”
“Cool, thanks.”
>You snatch the fork off the table and stab it into the hard vegetables.
>At first, you weren’t too eager to eat.
>Now, actually faced with food, your attitude has begun to change.
>Something primal, deep inside you, wells up from your stomach and--
>Wait, did she say ten?

“Hold on a second, I’ve reconsidered.”
>”Oh? What will you have then?”
>There’s a small plastic sheet on your table with another menu on it.
>Using that, you deduce that a salad is all you’ll be having.
>Suddenly, Lyra’s comment on “pricey” makes sense.
>Salad is the only thing here with a cost in the single digits.
“Alright,” you let out slowly, trying to come to a decision.
>Your gaze drifts from the menu and over to Heffy.
>Her yellow coat glistens in the sunshine pouring in the through the window.
>Most importantly, the magic flowing around her follows the same pattern as the other earth ponies you saw in town.
>Unlike unicorns, it would seem that they all receive the same amount of magic.
>Now, they sure as hell aren’t equally strong. You know damn well Applejack could topple most mares in this town.
>Perhaps it comes down to how their bodies utilize what’s going into them.
>But then, why would that even be a thing? What makes earth ponies and unicorns so different?
>”Well, sir? What will it be?”
“Huh? Never mind, I’m fine.”
>”Are you sure.”
“I’m sure. Thank you.”
>”Well, if you need anything else, just shout for me!”
>She trots off to help someone else as you dig into your bowl.
>Where were you?
>Right, why are unicorns and earth ponies different.

And once more, my offerings are minimal. I guess this short update tonight is good because it acts like a segway for my question to you guys. Do you prefer waiting a few days for larger updates or getting daily mini ones? Let me know in the comments below and don't forget to like and subscribe to be notified when I upload something.

Daily is better.

>>29474987
I personally don't care wether it's mini updates daily or large updates weekly or whatever, but I will make sure to smash that muhfuh' like button.
>>
>>29474987
Don't care. I'm just happy as long as I get that green.

Thanks for the update by the way.
