>Twilight is giving you a choice: To become a copy of a pony from her world in every sense except for memories and be paired with another anon, or to be said other anon. She has to see how humans react to being ponies and the mating potential of humans and ponies... you know, for science.

Armstrong was still working with the government secretly, and the pet pony sales were being used to fund Project Blacklight that was started by George W. Bush so he could create the immortality selector, but the lizardmen got to him first so the money is going to MKUltra now, and the Zephyr was being manipulated by some government fellow through Armstrong to eventually, in secret, broadcast her story out to some unknowing MKUltra sleeper cell by furiously tapping out code on a homebuilt radio.
The events of Zephyr's Tale are very real and it goes so much deeper than you'd think. The real manipulator is hidden in the shadows.

The events of Zephyr's Tale are a precursor to the future events of Capitulation. It is a warning from 8bitberry, who is a corrupted sleeper cell left over by the now-defunct KGB group in the US.

>Anon is hired by a marketing firm to help them promote the My Little Pony movie by dressing as one of the characters
>It's basically a fursuit, but nobody will be able to tell it's him in there anyway
>It fits well when he first puts it on, but it quickly begins to become uncomfortable as it seems to shrink
>He begins panicking as it continues to constrict around him, growing smaller and smaller until it forcibly reshapes his body
>Bones pop, tendons and ligaments stretch, and his skin fuses with the suit
>By the time the hellish experience is over, Anon and the suit are one
>Looking in the mirror, he just looks like one of the ponies from the show
>His boss comes in to check on him, and he's satisfied with the result
>When Anon's led out to play with the kids, he realizes that the transformation was mental as much as physical; he is now physically incapable of acting out-of-character
>On the outside he's a happy, fun-loving pony who just loves to make friends
>On the inside he's screaming in terror
>In order to escape his harrowing situation, he has to navigate convoluted mental gymnastics to find a way to act outside of his intended "programming"

For greater visibility I'm gonna post the whole thing.

>This wasn't supposed to happen
>When you had been having trouble making friends around Ponyville, being a weird alien and all, Twilight said she had an idea to make you less intimidating to the locals
>You figured it'd just be some conversation coaching
>Not turning you into a fucking horse like them
>You didn't want this
>You liked having fingers and being tall
>As soon as the dizziness from Twilight's spell had faded, you'd started to panic
>She was trying to calm you down but fuck that, you didn't okay this
>It's then that you feel yourself held still in her magic, fighting against it as your head is turned to look at her
>Wait, what's going on with her eyes...?
>They're all... swirly and stuff
>"That's it Anon, just look into my eyes... just relax and stare..."
>Yeah, maybe you should. That sounds nice...
>>
>>30727942
>You mentally shake your head and screw your eyes shut
>Whatever she's trying to do to you, it can't be good
>Can't look into those beautiful, swirling eyes, can't listen to that lovely, soothing voice...
>Then you feel your eyelids being forced open by magic
>Her face is right up against yours now, and you can feel her hot breath on your new muzzle as her eyes dominate your vision
>"There you go, Anon, don't worry. Just stare and relax, watch and listen..."
>You can't even think to do otherwise
>It's like a fog has settled over your thoughts and smothered them
>You could probably turn away or something if you wanted, but...
>Her eyes are so nice...
>You don't know how long you stare for
>Time doesn't really exist anymore as far as you know
>Nothing really does, except those eyes and her whispering words
>They're just kinda worming their way into your ears
>Like they're speaking down to your core
>It just feels so good to listen to her and stare...
>>
>>30727948
>You can dimly feel a trickle of drool escaping your mouth as a dull moan makes its way out of your throat
>You just sit there and mindlessly accept her instructions as they reshape your helplessly hypnotized brain
>You're only aware of one final question
>"Who's a good colt?" she asks
"I am..."
>That's all you can weakly reply before your mind goes utterly, blissfully blank
...
>"...Aaaand, done. Rise and shine, Nonny!"
>You blearily blink your eyes, shaking your head slightly
>Where are you...?
>Oh, duh. You're in Princess Twilight's bedroom
>She's lying on the bed in front of you as you sit up straight
>"How are you feeling, Nonny?"
"A little dizzy, why?"
>You answer without hesitation
>"Oh, just wondering. You were feeling sick, so I invited you to lie down and rest a bit."
>You were? You could've sworn you were worried about something...
>As this thought occurs to you, a wave of tingling pleasure washes over you, seeming to seep into the folds of your brain and down each and every nerve
>You shudder and moan lightly in pleasure
>You quickly cover your mouth with a hoof, blushing
"Uh, s-sorry Princess. I don't know why I did that."
>She rests a hoof on yours
>"It's quite alright Nonny, don't worry about it."
>At her response, you think you agree. It's really not worth worrying about, when she puts it that way
>Wait, what were you thinking about before?
>Eh, it probably wasn't important
>>
>>30727955
>"Quick question Nonny, how long have you been a colt?"
>Huh, that's an odd question, but you don't see why you can't answer
>You go to tell her that you've been a colt since you were born twenty years ago, but...
>That's... not right...
>Before you can pursue this avenue of though further, you're struck by another wave of pleasure that drives the thought out of your head
"I've been a colt since I was born, Princess. Twenty years ago."
>You respond as soon as the wave dissipates, and Twilight sighs in seeming relief
>"Okay good, it stuck. You'll be fine now."
>Before you can ask her what she means, you're captivated by her eyes
>Wow, they're really pretty...
>You can dimly hear her speaking as your senses dull while you fall into her eyes
>"And now that I'm certain the conditioning has sunken in, we're free to have some fun~~"
>Instinctively, the words you speak spring to your lips as if automatic
"Yes, Princess..."
>Twilight smirks at you bemusedly
>"Mmmm, yes, I think having a mindless sex puppet whenever I want will be great fun for the both of us."
>She strokes a hoof through your mane as your universe is consumed by her eyes
>"Who's a good colt?" she asks you
"I am, P-p.."
>You go to say "princess," but that's not right
"I am, M-mistress..."
>>
>>30727962
>You are jolted awake by the sound of two hooves striking each other
>"And awake. Rise and shine, pet."
>Your ears perk up at that as you blink the sleep away
>"How do you feel?"
"I feel fine, Princess. A little groggy, but fine."
>As you say that though, you feel a quiet roiling in the bottom of your mind, like something isn't quite right, but you can't quite place it
>You make eye contact with Twilight again, and a tiny twinge of panic flits its way through your brain
>Your brow furrows. What's wrong? Why are you upset? Why...
>What happened to your body?
>You scramble to your hooves and begin hyperventilating
>"Nonny? What's wrong?"
>Twilight calls out to you from her position next to you on the bed
>You twist away from her, pressing yourself up against the pillows in an effort to distance yourself
"G-get away from me!"
>Her brow creases as she rises to her hooves, not moving any closer to you
>"Oh my, why would you say that?"
"I don't know! Something about you is wrong and it's making me afraid, j-just get away!"
>You want this panic to stop but you don't know where it's coming from
>Why are you so afraid of Twilight? You've known her for ages... right?
>No, that's... that's not right...
>You groan and press a hoof to your temple
>Dimly, you hear Twilight make a tutting sound with her tongue and the rustling of the sheets as she rushes towards you
>Before you can react her face is against yours, capturing your lips in a kiss
>You're shocked, paralyzed by her action. Her lips are so soft...
>>
>>30727971
>The panic starts to subside. It's still there, but it's fading
>You struggle meekly against the lavender alicorn, hooves trying to push her off
>You feel her magic form itself into fuschia ropes of energy that wrap around your hooves, securing you in a spread-eagle position under her
>She pulls back, keeping her face mere inches from yours
>"Does that feel better, sweetheart? Do you remember what you were thinking about?"
>She croons at you, and you find the words come sluggishly
"No... I don't remember..."
>"You were telling me how good my lips tasted."
"No..."
>You shake your head. That can't be right
"What... what did you do to me? Why am I so angry, and why can't I remember anything!?"
>Twilight lowers herself, warm chest fur mingling with your own
>Her front hooves place themselves on either of your shoulders
>"I'm rehabilitating you, Nonny. I want you to be accepted by ponies, and useful to me..."
>She delicately runs a hoof through your mane
>"Doesn't that sound lovely? All that fear and panic gone, and perfectly happy with your new life?"
>You can't remember what you were before, but you feel hatred rising in your voice
"Just get away! Put me back! I don't know what you did to me, but p-please, just fix me!"
>"Oh come on, you don't mean that. Why would you want to go back? You don't even remember what you were before. Isn't it easier to just accept your new form?"
>Before you can refute her, she captures your lips again
>Every instinct tells you to jerk away
>But warmth spreads through your lips and cheeks and forehead so quickly
>The urge to fight falls away faster
>Twilight tastes so good...
>>
>>30727986
>Twilight pulls away
>What... what were you thinking about? It was only a second ago...
>"Why don't you tell me about when you first met me? You can trust me, it's only a story."
"I..."
>Your mouth feels dry as the words spill unbidden from it
"Fluttershy found me in the woods by her cottage. She took me to meet you, said you would know what to do..."
>Twilight's lips felt warm, tingly, soft, distracting against yours
>You push into them, trying to make the feeling last-
>She pulls away
>"Sorry, what were you saying?"
>Your mouth is stuck in the same pose
>What /were/ you saying?
>You desperately try to remember, but Twilight chimes in
>"You were telling me about the first time you met me. How you got a job as a mailpony, and one of your regular stops was delivering books to my old home in Canterlot."
"No, that's not right."
>The words feel bitter as they leave your mouth
>Twilight wouldn't lie to you, but it makes no sense
>You didn't know her when she lived in Canterlot
>"You started to have a crush on me, the cute little librarian, and you told me how you always looked forward to seeing me."
"No... no, you're lying."
>"Would I lie to you?"
"Of course..."
>"I wouldn't. Of course I wouldn't."
>Twilight presses her nose to yours
>"It would be easier if you stopped resisting, you know."
>Wait, resisting what?
"Buck off."
>>
>>30727997
>That expletive seems appropriate for some reason
>You gasp
>Twilight begins grinding her body against yours, pressing you down into the plush bed
>Namely, her slit against your sheath
>Heat shoots through your body and you moan
>Twilight runs her hoof through your mane again
>"Tell me about our relationship," she whispers into your ear
>You bite your lip
>She's doing something, using some kind of magic
>You try to ignore her hot breath on your ear, the warmth of her soft fur pressed up against yours
>The grinding stops and her rear lifts away, her hoof withdrawing from your mane
>You groan, missing the feeling. It felt so warm and intoxicating and blurry to have them there
>"Unless you don't want to tell me..." she whispers
"Wait."
>The word spills out of your lips before you can stop them
>Twilight's hoof and flank pause
"You... you took me in, let me stay in your castle. I didn't have anywhere else to go. You tried to figure out how to get me home, but you said it couldn't be done. You said I was stuck here, that I should learn to live here."
>That sounded right. The memory was kinda fuzzy, but sounded right
>You remember the dread in your heart when she told you... something.
>"Oh no, that can't be right. You slowly built up the nerve to ask me out, and we had a lovely date at a cafe in Canterlot. We were smitten with each other."
"No..."
>"It sounds like there's something really wrong with your memories."
>>
>>30728009
"What are you... hnn..."
>Twilight's slightly-slick folds feel so warm and inviting against your developing erection
>You try to remember what you had been saying, what you had been objecting to, but the memories wouldn't come
>"Don't think too hard about it." Twilight's voice sounds so soothing, so gentle. "It'll only make the anxiety worse if you focus on the discrepancies. Just let me remind you of what's true."
>Twilight kisses you again, but it doesn't feel like the others
>It makes your mouth dry and your head light
>It makes you feel tired and cold and sleepy, instead of warm and happy and... what was the word?
>"There, now. Very good. Doesn't it feel so nice to be so empty?"
>You blink slowly and unevenly
>Twilight makes it sound nice; she must be right
>"You have been my loyal, loving coltfriend for years now."
>You blink again
"I... have?"
>"Of course, do you not remember?"
"N-no..."
>Twilight's groin grinds into yours again, and you moan
>Hadn't you been cold a moment ago?
>>
>>30728034
>That can't be, your member and chest and face felt so warm
>"Doesn't my touch feel so familiar to you?"
>She leans in and kisses you again. It tastes incredible, the best you've ever tasted
>The only one you've tasted, that you can remember
>You melt into the kiss, roll your eyes back and move your tongue to focus on it better. She feels so intoxicating...
>"Tell me, do you remember our first time making love?" The whispered words tickle your ear, warming you and teasing you
>You move your mouth but no sounds come out
>Your lips feel so cold without hers against them
>"Here, let me refresh your memory."
>She touches her horn to your forehead and her eyes glow a gentle violet
>>
>>30728046
>You and Twilight are snuggled up in a different bed, in her old library in Canterlot
>Your sides are pressed against each other, reading a book together by candlelight
>While her eyes are fixed on the page, you sneak a kiss upon her cheek, which quickly turns pink from a blush
>She giggles and returns the kiss, but on your lips
>You both smile against each other as your lips move in tandem, teeth parting to tangle your tongues together
>Her hoof traces down your withers and along your spine as the passion of the kiss ramps up
>The hoof hovers at your flank and you shift slightly against the growing erection pinned beneath your body
>Reluctantly you pull apart for air, gasping and panting as you stare into each others' eyes
>"Nonny, I... I'm ready. I want you."
>Your heart swells
>The mare you're in love with, after all these months, is finally ready to share herself with you in that most intimate of ways
>And you're overjoyed
>You want to make her first time special, you want to please her
>You gently roll her over and are overcome with love at the sight of this adorable, beautiful mare spread out on the bed
>You bury your face in her neck, kissing and licking in a frenzy of passion
>>
>>30728058
>Twilight moans cutely above you, and you take that as encouragement to continue your ministrations
>You work your way down her body, peppering her fur with tiny kisses and licks and the occasional tiny nip of the teeth, eliciting a delightful squeak from her
>Finally you reach her treasure, her folds slick with arousal nestled between her thighs
>You plant a kiss on the pearl at her apex and draw a long, experimental lick from bottom to top along the outside
>Twilight's hips buck at your touch, and her hind hooves cross themselves over your neck, trapping your head in
>Not that you mind
>You lick again, alternating between long draws and quick laps at her outer folds until you finally delve inward, tongue desperately seeking more of that nectar, that ambrosia
>Twiligh audibly pants as your tongue explores her insides, washing over every bump and crevice
>"Nonny, please... don't stop..."
>You're all to eager to oblige as her legs pull you in further, pressing your muzzle into her flower
>You redouble your efforts, taking all the little squeaks and breathy moans into account
>Hearing and seeing her in so much pleasure fills you with joy and purpose
>You're so hopelessly in love with this mare
>Pleasing her and making her feel good and happy is all you can think about
>Twilight's pants and moans increase in frequency and pitch, and you can tell she is approaching her peak
>"Nonny, I'm close, I'm so close, please keep going..."
>You obey her instructions with glee, diving as deep as you can into her folds
>One hoof snakes its way up and begins rubbing at her clit, drawing circles with it
>Eventually her little body can't take it anymore and she cums
>Twilight screams your name into the dark library home, her throes of passion echoing all around the two of you
>Her orgasmic ecstasy is palpable and as you despearately drink down the sticky-sweet marecum flowing from her, you feel pleasure dance through your stiff cock like lightning
>>
>>30728070
>When her shaking dies down she uncrosses her legs and you pull yourself up to eye level with her
>Her chest heaves with each breath as she stares into your eyes, and you feel adoration and love swell within you again
>The memories replay themselves in your head
>Of the desperate intimacy when you two made love
>Of your eventual confession that you wanted her to dominate you, and her resounding agreement
>Of her inclusion of magic and hypnosis into your play, subtly altering your mind and implanting triggers in you
>Of being triggered to sleep, to obey, to go blank, to rut, to forget
>Of being so blissfully and utterly in love
>Of being so euphorically and wonderfully submissive
>Of being so completely and mindlessly obedient to your lover, your Twilight, your Princess
>...
>You rise from your trip down memory lane, still pinned under Twilight, chest heaving under her body
>She's smirking at you with that face she gets when she's feeling dominant
>"Did that help you, Nonny?"
>You smile and peck her lightly on the lips
"Yes, my love. Thank you oh so much."
>She sighs contentedly
>"I'm so glad you're feeling better. I love you to pieces, you know that right?"
>You laugh and nuzzle her
"Of course, my Princess. I love you too."
>You both just lay there for a bit as you bask in her presence, overcome with love and adoration for the violet alicorn
>"You know Nonny, I can still feel you down there~"
>She whispers huskily into your ear, moving her belly against yours and reminding you of the rock-hard erection pinned against the downy fur of her hips
>You whimper as pleasure sparks through you at the sensation
>"Would you like me to take care of that for you, my little pony?"
>>
>>30728088
>As she says that last part, you feel your mind fog and cloud
>All your thoughts slow down and your body grows heavy and warm
>Words spill forward from your mouth in a breathy murmur
"Yes."
>"Yes, what?" She whispers
>You know instinctively what She means
"Yes, Princess..."
>You correct yourself, knowing that you must refer to your divine and wondrous Princess with the respect She deserves
>You feel your Princess slide Her folds against you, rising up and placing your tip just within Her folds
>Even just barely in, you can feel the intense, unbearable pleasure that your Princess always brings
>She rights herself, straddling you with Her forehooves on your chest as She begins to sink onto your member
>You want to throw your head back and moan but you keep your gaze firmly fixed on your Princess, the way you know She wants you to
>It feels so good to obey Her, and the mind-melting pleasure of your cock being enveloped by Her only serves to reinforce this fact in your lust-addled brain
>As She finally reaches the base and you hilt inside Her, She leans down and kisses you again
>Your eyes roll back in your head as Her tongue forces its way into your mouth, dominating yours in a fervent kiss
>And then, She starts to rise again
>Rising off your member until just the tip remains in, and then dropping back down again
>She breaks off the kiss and chuckles at you as a throaty moan escapes you
>Princess repeats the process of rising and falling on your cock, her breath hitching audibly each time she hilts you as her thrusts gain in speed and frequency
>Your hips buck as the pleasure courses through you like fire, erasing every other thought from you as Princess rides you
>>
>>30728102
>"Yeeeessss, good, that's a good pet. Keep going, just like that. You're doing so well."
>The praise feels just as good as the thrusting, except this time you can feel her words sliding into your mind, embedding themselves, making themselves true
>But in the back of your mind you know, even as you approach your climax, that you can't release unless She tells you to
>"Do you want to cum, pet?" She croons into your ear before lowering her head to nip and peck at your jawline, words intermittently interrupted and punctuated by her body crashing against yours and the slapping sound of flesh on flesh
"Yes Princess, pet wants to cum, please..."
>You moan out your response to her inquiry, desperate to obey and please
>"Then earn it," she says. "Recite your mantras."
>Automatically, the coded words that assert your position beneath her bubble forth and spill from your lips at her command
"I am pet. Pet belongs to Princess. Pet must obey Princess. Pet must please Princess. Pet wants nothing more than to please Princess. Pet must be mindless and empty for Princess. Pet must stay hard and horny for Princess. Pet is helpless before Princess's power. I am pet..."
>You recite the mantras over and over and over again, in time with the thrusting
>Each repetition sears them into your mind further and further, engraving them as fundamental and undeniable facts of this universe
>And each repetition makes the pleasure that consumes your body and mind double impossibly
>Your entire being is awash in the sea of Princess's glory as you train yourself into even deeper obedience and submission to Her
>Princess is moaning atop you as well, and the knowledge that you are pleasing Her fills you with joy and fulfillment
>And then, She says it
>"Cum for me, pet."
>>
>>30728113
>You climax together, Her heavenly walls clamping down on your cock as it twitches and spasms violently, spurting your load deep inside Her
>You feel your mind and thoughts and will vanish with each throbbing rope of cum that shoots into Her, still mindlessly repeating your mantras of submission
>And it keeps going, your entire mind drowning in pleasure as the time between the seconds drags on in bliss
>Somewhere in the back of your mind you know that you should have stopped cumming by now
>But you are lost in hypnotic pleasure, the ecstasy pressing forward, going on and on
>Your mind falls into bliss, and the last thing you can feel running through you before your mind vanishes completely is-
"I obey."
>...

>Sunlight dances delicately across your eyelids, fluttering them open
>Your body is heavy and unresponsive, partly because you've just woken up and partly because of the alicorn cuddling you
>Twilight Sparkle is wrapped around you, holding you tight as she snores ever so quietly
>You can't help but smile at her
>You remember being triggered into Pet mode last night and the unknowable pleasure that it brought
>You close your forelegs around her withers and nuzzle into her mane
>Still asleep, she smiles and snuggles closer to you
>You smile too
>Even before the hypnosis, you knew that you'd do anything for this mare
>And her ascendt to Princesshood didn't change that
>You would forever be with her, be it by her side as a friend, in her bed as a lover or at her hooves as a toy
>You are completely and hopelessly in love with this mare, and you know she feels the same
>You close your eyes and let sleep reclaim you, breathing in the scent of her
>>

Sure thing, thanks anon
>>
>>30728489
No, thank you for writing!
>>
>>30728122
I like it, its kind of creepy to be honest though
Pet mode or not Twilight has pretty much mind wiped Anon into his new life as a pony, against his wishes.
Still at least the pet conditioning is only temporary and he can lead a somewhat independent life as a pony
>>
>>30728874
yeah, the pet conditioning has an of/on switch and I imagine it's pretty exclusively used for sex stuff between them. outside of that he's a totally independent pony, he's just also in a relationship with Twilight
>>
>>30729062
Yes but can you really be considered independent if, at a single command, you turn into a mindless slave? How much free will can you really have if someone else can change your thoughts, motivations, priorities, even memories at their behest? At this point anon is nothing more than a toy that thinks only when Twilight lets him.
>>
Congratulations. By popular demand you're going to be a pony in Equestria.

>For the third time today, I wrapped my fingers around the pistol’s slide, yanked it back with a melody of smooth, well-lubricated metal, and sent the magazine’s top cartridge airborne
>As the notes of bouncing brass rang out three times against the hard concrete floor of the abandoned engineering laboratory, I couldn’t help but wonder whether I was damaging the round
>By contrast, I was so careful when I released the magazine, cradling it in my hand before setting it down, as though the rounds within were temperamental to fire with the slightest provocation
>And then whenever I let the last round fly free a half second later, it always flew erratically out of the port and gravity had a field day
>After inspecting the magazine and its function, I spun the outcast cartridge in my hand and, finding no blemishes, dents, or disfigurement, returned it to the stack of its associates
>Gently shaking my head and chuckling at my own paranoia, I slid the magazine back into its steel-walled home, rechambered a round, and set the pistol on the floor at my side
>Yes, it was true that a single jam could be my downfall – the difference between a mare stopping in her tracks, and wrapping her hooves around my face until I cried ‘friend’ through a muzzle
>But was the remote chance of the brass taking on a few small dents really that big of a deal?
>>
>>30730017
>I mean, in the past four years, there were three remarkable things that I’d gradually come to appreciate about American culture
>First of all, the fact that they were the cradle of rock and hip-hop, and did it well, meant they were their music was always welcome in my earbuds
>Second, they loved their sports, and while there were some good golf courses near Seoul and Incheon, they couldn’t hold a candle to the rowdy fun of banging on the glass at a hockey game
>And finally, Americans took their guns seriously… very seriously
>They knew a lot about them, demonstrated a real passion for building and using them properly, and as a result, their roscoes were built like tanks
>I’d never bought one myself, but a congenial neighbor I’d known for just under three years had a pistol and rifle that he was positively giddy to show off whenever it was appropriate
>The way he could rattle off stats about weight, caliber, and manufacture was veritably moot when I could tell, simply by holding them, that the guns had been wonderfully, robustly made
>He always had a twinkle in his eyes upon remembering how I’d been fascinated by his steel beauties, even going so far as to invite me to the range one day and covering the cost of ammo
>It was a bit morose to think that he didn’t get to use them when they mattered, as he was certainly among the Pegasi I saw leaving his house early yesterday morning, bound for faraway cities
>Still, his former self would’ve been quite glad to hear that the torch had been picked up by his impromptu firearms mentee
>>
>>30730025
>As I relaxed myself into a seated position against one of the laboratory’s benches, instinct prompted me to unsling the rifle from my back lest I use Colt’s innovation as an exposed backrest
>Instead, as my hand caught on a prodigious backpack strap, I was reminded that I’d tucked the rifle away in favor of the unobtrusive maneuverability the solitary pistol provided
>It was worth giving up five rounds of capacity if it meant I didn’t have a foot’s worth of barrel betraying my skulking approach around every corner…
>Flexing my shoulders allowed the backpack to slide free from my shoulder, and a moment later its black polyester weave rolled into view, ultimately settling comfortably into my lap
>With the exception of the sturdy rifle and its barrel protruding through a zipper opening, the backpack’s contents primarily slouched in an apathetic, semi-fluid mass
>Amid the half-crushed fruit, grains, and supplies scavenged from several buildings on campus, the only sizable cargo showing its geometry through the backpack was a stray water bottle
>Zipping open one of the smaller compartments, I shifted until the basement windows’ cloudy daylight cut through the dim room to illuminate my prize
>It had taken a good portion of the morning, but after rifling through three labs’ worth of drawers, I could pore over nearly all the specific resistors, capacitors, diodes on my ‘shopping list’
>I withdrew a small, battered journal from amid the pile of electrical components, shaking free a resistor that had wandered between its pages in the process
>As I opened to a bookmarked page near its middle, my vision was filled with a hastily drawn circuit diagram of squiggles, dashes, and wavering lines in my own handwriting
>Though cryptic to many, I immediately recognized every piece of the radio transmitter schematic and its individual purpose
>>
>>30730033
>With just a spool of wire and a bit of solder, the project would come together quite nicely, and I’d be one step closer to breaking free of a hellish equine destiny
>I was about to close the journal when a quote recorded in one page’s margin caught my eye
>I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO BE FRIENDS
>The quote cut particularly deep, not only because they were Chloe’s final words, but because she had been absolutely correct
>I suppose that was a fourth thing I’d come to appreciate about American culture: generally, people were much friendlier toward strangers than they were back home
>When I wandered into a lecture hall yesterday morning to search for supplies, I did so without scrutinizing every seat closely enough for ponies, or equally threatening, armed humans
>As I passed, Chloe could have just as easily lined up a shot and lodged eight grams of lead in my chest, but instead of landing in agony’s grip, I was only mildly startled by the sight of her
“Motherf- Don’t scare me like that!”
>She apologetically blushed and conjured a faint smile as the aim of her pistol sunk toward the floorboards
>“Sorry, I didn’t know at first whether you were one of them… Name’s Chloe. Say, I’d really, really rather not go it alone here if you’re looking for a friend… What do you think?”
>I lowered my own gun, intrigued but nonetheless leery about her offer
“Is this some new form of mugging tactic with which I’m not familiar? What’s in it for you?”
>“Having someone to watch my back? Holy cow, looks like someone’s excited to be a lone wanderer in the apocalypse”
>I scratched the back of my head, attempting to suppress the same wretched standoffishness that had alienated a couple potential acquaintances in years past
>>
>>30730038
“No, I was just, like, making a bad joke. Really, I would appreciate someone to be a friend in whatever fucked-up fate has befallen this place. Call me Peter”
>“Awesome! What kind of supplies are you carrying, Peter? Do you want anything to eat? I got plenty stashed away down by the lectern”
>As I absentmindedly ran a hand along the length of a backpack strap, I pondered whether an response expressing prosperity would be immediately met by a gun in my face
>However, as I took in Chloe’s body language, I could find nothing signaling mistrust or malicious intent, and amid only slight wariness, I answered with unfettered honesty
“My backpack’s got plenty of food I found at the campus store before things got too too bad; if you’re short on fruits and vegetables, I can definitely provide you with some”
>“I’ll keep that in mind – would suck to get scurvy after surviving a gauntlet of snuggly horses”
>With a smile and a friendly nod, I led the way down the lecture hall’s steps toward the lectern, where Chloe swiftly gathered a few small boxes of goods she’d stashed beneath
>We didn’t immediately have anywhere to be or anything to do, so Chloe suggested we pull up a couple chairs to the room’s corner where we could chat while keeping an eye on the doors
>Somewhere between the unnerving silence of lurking through abandoned halls, and the deafening shouts of friends sacrificing their humanity, this gentle conversation was very welcome
>Chloe talked about her studies on Carmine’s campus, her former roommates and life, and the pistol now firmly resting in her grip, which had, similarly, not belonged to her before today
>I talked about my armament in kind, my own hobbies and formerly human friends, and the ill-fated doctorate degree that would’ve been within my grasp if not for the apocalypse
>>
>>30730047
>By the time I glanced up at the wall clock overhead, thirty minutes had passed in the timeless luxury of cordial conversation
“Say, Chloe, do you want to trade, share, let me hang on to anything? I don’t know how you were carrying all of your things without a backpack”
>My eyes wandered over her stacks of rations piled modestly near the chair’s base, many of the items appearing too cumbersome to easily carry
>“I’ve just been… kind of bringing everything here, as a central location of sorts. I figure one of these days I’ll come across a backpack or something to help me carry them”
“It’s helped me a lot. Shame, none of the students on campus that got turned were actually here at the time – there’d be backpacks all over the place…”
>“Actually, I just thought of something. Would you mind keeping an eye on my things? I just need to make a run down the hall to grab one more thing, and then it can all go in your backpack”
>After she gesticulated at the stockpile with her shoe, I found myself distracted just a moment too long to follow her, as she rose to her feet and one of the room’s doors hastily clicked open
“Don’t you think-”
>By the time my words floated over to the door, it had clicked shut, snuffing out the meager daylight that had briefly streamed in from the hallway
>With a slightly irked sigh, I at least confirmed that she’d taken her pistol with her, which provided enough piece of mind to prevent my pursuit
>After anxiously drumming my fingers for a few moments, I unzipped the backpack and began to fill it with Chloe’s supplies, ideally allowing us to advance our mission promptly upon her return
>>
>>30730055
>Even under the strain of two surviving humans’ worldly possessions, the backpack was still incredibly light, the fabric sneering at the very thought of being overloaded
>As if to challenge it, I lackadaisically tossed my pistol in as well and zipped it shut, slinging the backpack into its natural position on my shoulders
>As I watched the clock’s second hand slowly wander in its absurdist circle, I bit my lip and began to wonder how long it would continue to do so before Chloe returned
>She said she’d just be going down the hall, right?
>How long would that take… a couple minutes? It had been a couple already…
>Apprehensively tapping my knuckles against the rifle did nothing to hurry the stagnant march of time, and after a few more seconds, I restlessly pushed myself to my feet
>Briefly after doing so, a faint metallic sound resonated through the lecture hall as I checked the chamber and ensured a round was loaded
>A soft plitter-patter of rain gradually crescendoed on the roof overhead, and by the time I’d steeled myself to investigate, a muted rhythm of footsteps could be heard beyond the door
>A few seconds later, the footsteps manifested in Chloe throwing the lecture hall’s door open, stepping inside, and slamming it shut to provide the cacophony with a note of finality
“Chloe, what happened? Where the hell is your gun? And what the hell were you going to get?”
>As she leaned against the door with one hand braced on its knob, she continued breathing heavily, her eyes aimlessly surveying the floor as though the boards were swaying and wobbling
“Chloe, what’s out there? Do you need me to check it out with you?”
>She slowed her breathing enough to squeak out a few intermittent words between her gasps
>“No… No... No, it’s… good that… that it was… just me…”
>>
>>30730060
>Her eyes darted about erratically, betraying some unseen mental struggle raging in her mind
“What do you mean? Should we not go back out there?”
>While she was still heavily relying upon the door to support her, Chloe’s legs were visibly struggling to keep her righted, the limbs weakly trembling as though supporting a heavy barbell
>With a pitiful moan of discomfort, Chloe shifted one of her legs to widen her stance, sending forth a loud crash as she slumped against a different spot at the door’s center
>She tersely lifted her head from its limply hung posture, and as she did so, muddled daylight danced off the beads of sweat forming on her forehead
>Despite the lack of visible wounds, every action that her muscles attempted to carry out was incessantly met with a faint, desirous groan
>“We… we… we need to do something… let’s go… together…”
>She leaned away from the wall and began to close the twenty feet of distance between us, shambling uncomfortably through each step as her head hung passively
“Chloe, wait, stop… stop walking towards me… Stop!”
>Upon immediately refusing to so much as acknowledge my words, I levelled the rifle’s barrel at her, the shift of glinting metal suddenly seizing her attention
>Her eyes went wide as a shout, profusely dripping with horror, filled the air
>“No, Peter! Don’t! D… Don’t… aaaaAHHH!”
>With the adrenaline of alarm coursing through her blood, a pair of fully formed wings strained against the back of her shirt, tearing the garment at its seams with a din of shredded fabric
>Chloe collapsed to her hands and knees, shivering as the bright teal feathers stood on end and twitched animatedly among the dim grey of the lecture hall
>Muscles rippled in her arms and torso as her hands repeatedly clenched and relaxed, the act made even more appalling by the teal fur and slightly shifted structures adorning her flat chest
>>
>>30730068
“Chloe, what the fuck?!”
>“They had an ambush prepared… It didn’t matter that I had a gun… And I don’t any more after it got too difficult to hold…”
“Never mind your gun! You have a pair of fucking wings sticking out of your back!”
>“Sure, that may be the case, but I’m still myself inside, where it matters… And… at least it was only me…”
>She was having less trouble pronouncing words and sentences now that she didn’t need to focus on the difficulty of standing upright, or keeping her wings carefully tucked in
>Still, the fact that such efforts had been so strenuous were unmistakable indicators that the infection had progressed quite far already
>As if to confirm my fears, Chloe’s jeans slowly slid down towards her knees, almost imperceptibly as each labored breath brought about a half inch of denim movement
>In the process of doing so, thick patches of teal fur were revealed on her swelling, muscular haunches, as a few strands of blonde tail hair snaked from the protrusion at the base of her spine
>Most of the tail remained tucked tightly into her pants, but as Chloe let out a pleading, bestial moan, she clearly begged for the equine appendage to feel release
“Holy hell, you didn’t even lock that door behind you!”
>I took a single brisk step, with the forethought to make a wide arc around Chloe, before her choked words cut me off
>“That’s not a problem – they weren’t coming after me…”
“What do you mean they weren’t? They already got the wings on you – the rest can’t be far behind!”
>“They just didn’t… Now, I suggest we get out of here before they finish the job… Here, help me up…”
>I threw the rifle’s sling into a comfortable position across my neck and let the firearm drape by my side before advancing toward Chloe
>There was still a distance of about a dozen feet between us when I halted myself
>>
>>30730076
“Chloe… We… We both know what happens when a pony touches someone… what about a half-transformed person? I don’t have any gloves…”
>“Probably nothing too bad, right?”
>Nothing ‘too bad?’ What the hell was that supposed to mean?
“Can you stand up on your own? That would be… best…”
>Chloe glanced at her hands and feet, and after a deep inhale and a primeval grunt, she elevated her knees and palms a couple inches, such that she was resting on her fingers and toes
>“Does this…”
“Come on Chloe, you’re a human! Two feet!”
>“Damn it, Peter, I can’t! I’m still myself mentally but obviously that’s not the case physically! I need somepony to help me!”
>A shiver ran up my spine as Chloe’s words resonated through my head
“What… What was that last sentence you said?”
>“I need… some… body… to help me… I need somebody to help- Look, you try getting the grammar correct when your parents taught it to you like that since foa… childhood!”
>I took a couple horrified steps backward and wrapped my fingers around the grip of the idle firearm at my side
>Chloe, still suspended on her toes and fingers, tried to match my pace, but only succeeded in moving a quarter step as her foot slid out of its ill-fitting shoe
“Please… Please forgive me… I can’t help you…”
>“Peter… Don’t do this… I’ll give you anything you want… You already took all of my belongings so you owe me one… P-Please… I d-don’t want to be a pony… I-I-I… I don’t think…”
>As I fought to get my own quickening breathing under control, she was met with silence, save for a long, tremulous exhale that seemed to fill the cool room
>“Look, at least don’t let me get stuck in this half-turned state… I don’t… I don’t even know what memories are mine any more… I can’t remember the pasture I grew up in, or my family…”
>>
>>30730088
>I ran my finger over the edge of the rifle’s trigger guard, quietly contemplating whether such a declaration was enough to justify what I felt was right in this situation
>Not DESIRABLE by any means, but RIGHT nonetheless…
>It was only going to get worse for Chloe from here on out, and whatever smiling pony became of this, even if it supposedly retained her memories, would be a shell of her former self
>The kind of pony that… well, if I knew Chloe enough, she wouldn’t mind putting out of its misery, and doing sooner rather than later
>I met her misty eyes with the best emotionless expression I could muster, and with a tortured sigh, I checked that the rifle’s safety was on and whirled it only my back, next to the backpack
>Maybe… maybe it was the ‘right’ thing to do, but I wasn’t ready for my own blaze of glory yet, and nothing would bring the ponies running quite like the crack of a gunshot…
>There was still work to be done if I were to prevent this from happening again…
“I’m sorry Chloe… I’m so sorry…”
>She attempted to push herself forward, only to collapse to her side as her pants snagged on what would soon be hocks, and her strength failed in what would soon be her forelegs
>After double-checking the backpack’s zippers, I turned toward the exit door behind me and approached it, pausing only briefly as a string of gently-spoken words caught up to me
>“I thought you wanted to be friends…”
>While releasing a tender sigh, I wrapped my fingers around the door’s handle
>I did, Chloe… I did…
>After registering a swift exit from the room, I soon found myself in a small meeting area that featured a few chairs near its center and a door on each end
>Once each of the locks had been clicked shut, the corridor became profoundly silent – silent enough to hear Chloe’s sobs clearly through cracks in the vents as I settled into one of the seats
>>
>>30730097
>Her weeping persisted for five full minutes, during which I was repeatedly tempted to return and bring an end to the half-transformed victim’s troubles, but I never acted on the impulse
>My anxiously bouncing leg finally found peace when the door from which Chloe had entered opened again, inviting the buzz of a new pair of curious voices
>“-saw that she went in here?”
>“Yeah, and I hoped that using her as bait would help me snag another… ah, horseapples, I guess he saw through it”
>“Don’t listen to her, dear, she’s admittedly a bit crazy, but hopefully you can trust me when I say we’re here to help our new friends”
>While I could tell the stallion was directly addressing Chloe, she remained quiet except for a few intermittent bouts of shifting Pegasus feathers
>“Crazy? I thought it was a great idea… Admittedly, I probably took it too far, but next time if I could just get, like, a single small patch of fur on ‘em, that would be great”
>“It certainly beats going up against some of the humans that’re adamant about not snuggling with us – they pretty much cancel themselves out, also nullifying any ‘guns’ they have”
>“Oh wait, no, never mind, that plan wouldn’t work…”
>“Uhh… Why not?”
>“Well, there’s no way Storm Cloud would let me count them both if all I’m doing is befriending one human halfway, and then they do the rest. Geez, she might not even let me count one”
>A lengthy pause followed before the stallion’s heavy hoofbeats trekked across the room, approaching an audibly distressed Chloe whose ailing hands and feet fought for purchase on the floor
>“My name’s Morning Star, and this is my very good friend, Clementine Breeze. We’re here to help you…”
>Chloe issued no response through the gentle sobbing that had taken root within her troubled mind
>>
>>30730108
>“It’s okay… he may have left you, and I know it hurts, but true friends never will… Never will… I promise…”
>After a couple more sets of hoofbeats rang out through the air just beyond the wall, Chloe’s tears became slightly muted, as though buried in the stallion’s embrace
>A dynamic wingflap and the clicking of hooves heralded the arrival of the Pegasus – presumably Clementine Breeze – at Chloe’s side a moment later
>Gently rustling wings announced when she’d blanketed her victim in a cozy drapery of Pegasus feathers, much like those Chloe would probably soon be putting to use on others…
>I glanced at the rifle sitting leisurely in my lap, quietly contemplating whether I should turn the tables on these ponies – whether I should effectively use Chloe as bait to bring THEIR downfall
>With the ponies all clustered together in the room and focused on turning her into one of them, it’d be incredibly easy to throw open the door and take them out with a few quick shots
>Incredibly easy? Maybe just a little too easy?
>If only I knew how many other ponies were within the rifle’s earshot to begin swarming the ‘bad man’… It could be just these two, or it could be a hundred... I was limited to twenty rounds…
>“You’re practically a member of your new herd already… and what an adorable, handsome Pegasus you’ll be…”
>The pitch of Chloe’s crying descended as the grim hug continued, ultimately falling silent after three or four masculine gasps to help steady… his breathing
>“There, there… doesn’t that feel wonderful?”
>Bones popped and clicked as various parts of his body contorted into those more closely befitting a Pegasus, as fingernails turned into hooves, arms turned into forelegs, and ears drifted up
>>
>>30730118
>“We’re almost done, then we can go out and play…”
>His rhythm of tears had been fully supplanted by happy gasps as waves of bliss rocked his body, replacing the person he once was with a new headspace completely comfortable as a pony
>With an ecstatic cry, the new Pegasus stallion sacrificed the last of his fading humanity, slumping to the ground with a few faint clicks of hooves and bathing in the transformation’s afterglow
>“Thank… thank you both…”
>“You’re very welcome”
>“Peter wasn’t willing to do that… I thought he was a real friend… But all he did was steal my belongings and… abandon me…”
>The new stallion let out a dour sigh before Morning Star’s reassurances broke through his anguish
>“It’s okay… we would never, NEVER do anything like that… If you want, you’re more than welcome to have lunch with us! You wouldn’t believe how wonderful carrots taste!”
>“Well, I did already eat, but maybe… Clementine, you could show me how to fly? I’d like to find my friends from… before... Have you seen a pair of greenish unicorns hanging out together?”
>A brief pause followed as the ponies enquired amongst themselves
>“I don’t suppose we have, but don’t worry, we’ll help you find your herd!”
>A melody of hoofbeats played as the newly bolstered group of ponies trotted back toward the lecture hall’s far door, finagled the knob with either their teeth or hooves, and exited the room
>The neighboring meeting area in which I sat reestablished its placid atmosphere, disrupted solely by the uneasy drumming of my fingers and the familiar zip of a backpack opening
>>
>>30730128
>After fishing around for the journal and pencil stashed within one of the outer compartments, I flipped to the page with notes I’d taken about transformed former humans I once knew
>Well, to be more precise, the last page bearing such information, out of four pages
>My eyes wandered to the last entry on the page, featuring bullet points about a former Carmine University custodial worker who’d fallen to a small cuddly horde a couple buildings over
>She was now blissfully cantering through the meadows with her friends, having been swiftly turned into a red, curly-maned mare before I even registered what had happened
>My gaze meandered lower through the journal, finally settling upon the blank, slightly yellowed lines at the base of the page
>On this canvas, I recorded Chloe’s former name, date and location of transformation, and everything I could recall from what she’d told me about her life before everything went to hell
>After several attempts to forcibly steady the shaky pencil in my grip, I also wrote down her final words, and the fate that had eventually befallen her
>TEAL PEGASUS STALLION W/ BLONDE HAIR
>I figured that, someday, this information could be used to create a proper memorial to those who’d been lost, as I couldn’t imagine what last rites were appropriate in the moment
>First things first though, I needed to find some way to either reestablish order, or get in contact with someone who could…
>>
>>30730138
>As I shook my head out of reverie, I glanced up at the clock hanging over the disheveled cabinets of the engineering laboratory, and found that my mind had been wandering for ten minutes
>It had been about twenty-four hours since I last saw Chloe, or the stallion that had superseded her, and since then, I hadn’t come across a single other human
>Things were definitely looking bleak for my solitary self, making my mission to get the university’s radio working again all the more crucial
>After flipping back to the promising schematic hastily scribbled in the journal, I etched a few check marks next to some of the parts before returning the journal to the backpack
>My hand lingered in the backpack’s void for a few seconds as I retrieved a half-filled water bottle within
>After making quick work of the cap, I took a few generous gulps of the refreshingly cool water, only to be met with nature’s call a few seconds later
>As I rose to my feet, zipped up the backpack’s contents, and slung the garment over my shoulder, I double-checked my pistol and gently hefted the steely salvation in my hand
>I always abhorred stepping out into hallways, as you could never easily tell whether there were ponies anywhere along its length until they would’ve already had a chance to see you
>However, as I craned my neck through the laboratory’s doorframe, all appeared to be quiet
>Somewhere beyond the fiberboard and girders hanging over my head, a steady rhythm of hoofbeats echoed sharply down a similar hallway, but that wasn’t of immediate concern to me
>With careful footfalls, I closed the distance down the corridor, past an ample scattering of water fountains, trash cans, and office doors, before making my way to the bathroom doors
>Ostensibly, it didn’t matter which one I went into, but habit drove me semi-arbitrarily to the men’s room
>>
>>30730146
>Its door had been propped open with a pale yellow custodial sign, most likely a forgotten remnant from whomever was cleaning the building following the conclusion of Friday’s classes
>As I retrieved a flashlight from my backpack, I stepped into the spacious men’s room, kicking aside the sign and plunging the room into momentary darkness amid the continuing blackout
>Naturally, the light switch would’ve been ineffectual, but as the flashlight blinked to life a moment later, it provided more than enough light to lock the room’s main door in my wake
>“Oh, hayseed…”
“Oh, fuck!”
>As a shot of adrenaline coursed through my blood, I urgently raised my pistol and flashlight toward the unseen voice in the room’s far corner
>The circle of light was soon occupied by a red pony sporting a short grey mane, his squinted eyes poking attentively from beneath the far end of the sink counter
>“Would you mind not shining that light in my face? Pony eyes are kind of sensitive… not that you’d know”
>As I shifted the flashlight’s beam from his face to his hooves, the puzzle pieces fell into place regarding where I’d heard this familiar voice before
“Morning Star, I’ll blow your fucking head off if you try anything. Is there anyone else in this room with us?”
>While I kept him locked in my peripheral vision, the highly illuminated focus traipsed about the room and found nothing
>“I made sure there wasn’t. Only unicorns can actually lock these feather-fluttering stall doors, so it’s just me in here. Sorry if you wanted somepony else as a cuddle partner”
>He rolled his eyes and sighed as though he were already bored with the conversation and would rather steer the topic towards tax code
>>
>>30730154
“Don’t play games with me! I’m the guy with the pistol pointe-”
>“Yeah, I saw. But if you were going to shoot me, I presume you’d have done so by now. It doesn’t seem to be a concern that you’re going to hurt your ears, so my guess is you’re chicken”
“Chicken? Enlighten me, how am I chicken?”
>“Come on, dude, if you fire off a gun in here, everypony in the tri-state area is going to hear it and come running. And I don’t suppose you want to have your final stand in a dark bathroom”
>If I were to be completely honest with Morning Star, I’d tell him that I didn’t want to have a ‘final stand’ at all if it could be avoided or it didn’t accomplish anything…
>“I know it may seem scary, but trust me on this: You can keep running for a long time without actually getting anywhere… I don’t know where I’d be if not for my friends”
“Oh yeah? How many of your victims has that soundbite actually worked on?”
>“That was spoken from the heart, dude. As a human, they told me that all I did was hurt myself when I tried to run from the herd… You don’t look to be much better off, yourself”
>I readjusted my grip around the pistol, giving my fingers a brief reprieve from the slippery sweat that had gradually begun accumulating
“Sure, I believe you. Just like how you spoke from the heart when you used Chloe as half-transformed bait to try and spread your infection to me, before I could know what was happening”
>He smiled and weakly chuckled, but it was a morbid laugh laden with far more regret than acknowledgement of anything funny being said
>“Okay, to be fair, that wasn’t my idea. Clementine Breeze comes up with these schemes and I’m roped into following along with them”
“Schemes? Schemes for turning people into ponies?”
>Morning Star released a long exhale, allowing his eyes to wander about the room before his thoughts fell into place and he drew in a deep breath
>>
>>30730162
>“Alright, so her idea behind that one was that, since we heard both of you were brandishing guns, we couldn’t go after you directly without a significant risk of harm”
>“Ideally, infecting Gusty Gale, or, well, I guess his… her… name was Chloe when you knew her, not only made her more docile, but if she could touch you, the effect would be passed along”
>“She walked right into our ambush. Granted, Clementine Breeze got a bit overzealous when she found her new friend was going to be a Pegasus and wanted to fill out the wings first”
>“Still, as a proof of concept it was a fantastic way to spread friendship without arousing too much opposition, and I’m so doggone mad that she canned the idea”
>“She’s got this big idea about counting the number of friends she makes – I guess it’s a contest or something – and it just… it consumes her!”
>“It’s like, ‘Oh, we can’t do this, we can’t do that, because somepony else will get the credit’ she pretty much says”
>“When we first became friends, it was because she relentlessly pursued me through a forest for hours INSTEAD of going after easy targets”
>“She still deeply cares about me – don’t get me wrong – yet I can’t help but feel as though her individual success and power has overtaken the compassion and friendship mentality”
>“Last night when Daisy determined that I should be the one to lead the charge against the city’s utilities, I was trying to figure out, you know, what cell towers or buildings were important”
>“Clementine Breeze was more than happy to accompany me for the sake of my protection, but as the early morning hours wore on, she was just like a filly in a candy store”
>“While I was busy shutting down systems so that the humans couldn’t create a panic or effectively fight back, she was running through the utility buildings tackling anyone she could”
>>
>>30730169
>“It turned out that numerous places had technicians working the overnight shift, and nopony else – nopony at all – had picked up the idea of going after them, so she got a lot by herself”
>“When we got to the pair of communication towers in the town’s north end, she hastily flew to the top and threw the equipment groundwards so we could advance to the next buildings”
>“And long after we got done with that, well, she continued relentlessly looking for people, and not necessarily just because she wanted to show them how wonderful it is to be friends”
>“Now it feels like… instead of her following me to help keep me safe while I complete my work… I’m following her like a gun-toting lackey on a safari hunt…”
>“You should consider yourself lucky that she refused to call attention to the fact that you’ve been freely walking around campus all this time – she still insists on being the one to get you”
>“She doesn’t like sharing the glory of each friend with others, so there was a bit of kicking and screaming – temper tantrums – when everypony else showed up around here last night”
>Morning Star let out a prolonged noise that fell somewhere between a groan and a sigh, and was all-around overflowing with lamentation
>“I’m just worried she’s going to get herself hurt one of these days…”
>I momentarily moved the pistol to cover a cough, but it was unyieldingly clear that Morning Star showed no intent to attack as he, too, mulled over the words still lingering on the air
“How many people? How many people could one pony get in those buildings?”
>“In the utility buildings she got fifteen total. Overall, her count’s up to twenty-two… me included”
>>
>>30730178
>My blood went cold as I thought about the twenty-two lives that had been cut short by a single pony’s unfettered resolve… Twenty-two sets of hooves, twenty-two pairs of pony ears…
>I could only hope they were different or less successful than her, otherwise the effect of this single pony would be… what’s twenty-two squared? And then… what’s it cubed?
“How many have you gotten, Morning Star?”
>“Not so sure about that… Three? Five or six? It’s been a lot less than her; I’ve just solely focused on making sure other ponies have an easier time making friends”
>Even if Morning Star technically only had a quarter as many friends as his associate, I shuddered to think how many people had fallen to an equine destiny because of his actions
>Hundreds… thousands…
>The moment I knew that things were going to get bad quickly was when, not only had the power gone out in my house, but cell service had also gone down on an otherwise clear night
>It reeked of intentionality, and without any way to warn the outside world, the first way others would find out would be from a pony embracing them in an innocent, unsuspecting hug
“Is that why you’re making no effort to befriend me here and now? You’ve already done enough to bring ruin upon humanity – what’s one more person?”
>“Call it what you want; I’m just doing the job I need to do”
“Well, doesn’t that sound familiar? Heartless bastard, you have no idea how much I want to shoot you right now…”
>Morning Star simply shrugged, his eyes practically glazing over with boredom, probably on account of the fact that he’d often heard similar lines over the past couple days
>The following seconds were far tenser for me than him as he took a seat beneath the sink counter and poked at the tiles with his hoof
>>
>>30730187
>I awkwardly went to relieve myself at a urinal with one hand still firmly directing the pistol’s aim toward him, while the flashlight rested in a clamp between my teeth
>It was less than sanitary, but the arrival of the apocalypse hadn’t exactly elevated my hygiene expectations, and it’s not like there were better options available
>At least the water-based infrastructure hadn’t been in his sights…
>When I turned my body back to Morning Star, his eyes were wandering over the ceiling tiles’ design as though he’d practically forgotten about my presence
>Yeah, except, the moment I leave, you’re going to be running off to tell your friends about me… You won’t even give me the good graces of a head start…
>As I yanked open the restroom door, I could at least take solace in the fact that its handle would be more cumbersome with hooves than it was with hands, yielding a few precious seconds
>I did my best to remain quiet as I jogged down the hallway toward the stairwell, my pistol leading the way as its cold steel muzzle probed for the warm furry muzzle of any pony lying in wait
>Far behind me, a fortepiano clamor of Morning Star slamming the restroom door and then fleeing down a separate hallway commenced the countdown’s ticking
>If I stayed in this hallway I’d be truly screwed, and while the engineering building was certainly large, the thought of engaging in an indefinite siege here made my hair stand on end
>I needed to get out, and first, I needed to get out of this building’s basement
>To my horror, a distant thunder of hoofsteps was already rumbling through the girders far above, worrying me before I even got to the utility door separating myself from the stairwell
>>
>>30730197
>My heart raced as the thought crossed my mind that a pony may have preemptively noticed Morning Star’s absence and alerted the rest of their herd, whipping a flurry of hooves into action
>The best I could do, in any situation, was press onwards as I threw the door open to reveal the marble steps of one of the building’s grandiose stairwells
>With my pistol fixated on the stairs’ apex, rays of daylight cut through the musty air filling the cramped quarters, the brilliant radiance spilling in through a plethora of ground-level windows
>All I needed to do was open one of them… freedom… escape…
>As I cautiously pushed upwards into a hallway featuring a long line of office doors, the pistol spun about while the air filled with the semi-remote thunder of hooves and muted shouting
>I couldn’t tell exactly where the ponies were, but as I briefly paused to ensure I didn’t misstep, the hallway just beyond an ajar utility door to my side exploded with a tremendous crash
>Somewhere just beyond, a mare was domineeringly sending forth a curt tirade of menacing words
>Instinctively, I thumbed at the pistol’s safety to ensure that it was ready to fire, aimed through the crack provided by the slightly open door, and lined up the sights with…
>Holy shit, it’s a human! How did HE survive all this time?!
>I shoved the door open and lunged into the hallway, wedging the entrance tightly shut behind me so that any pursuing ponies couldn’t easily catch us from behind
>The man standing between me and the orange Pegasus a few yards beyond was unwaveringly fixated on her, and as he raised his hands in terror, I could see he woefully lacked a weapon
>His posture communicated one of near-paralysis as his eyes darted over the Pegasus’ flared wings, locking up after realizing that his escape options where severely limited
>>
>>30730209
>Before he could do anything too rash, I charged forward and knocked him to the ground, planting the sole of my shoe on his shoulder so he wouldn’t be able to move around too much
>It certainly wasn’t gentle, and I verily regretted slamming his face into the floor and knocking the wind out of him, but worse things have happened in less dire circumstances
>The Pegasus grinned wickedly in the direction of the gun now levelled in her direction, paying it far less heed than the tempting prospect of increasing her score by two with a single attack
>My gaze rapidly vacillated between the pony and the human beneath my foot, as I hadn’t gotten a good enough look at him to ensure that he was, indeed, fully human
>That is to say, I didn’t know whether he was really worth saving, or just a helplessly infected victim coerced by this Pegasus who had done the very same with Chloe…
>My cursory glances, however, proved very promising – from head to toe, his coloration seemed positively bland
“Holy cow, look at you! You’re quite a sight for sore eyes!”
>I lowered the pistol and snagged its front sight on the base of his shirt, dragging the grey and blue cotton fabrics along as a sizable patch of skin came into view… devoid of fur or feathers
>Looks like I got here just in time, man… Today’s your lucky day…
>As I eyed the orange Pegasus anew, she flicked an ear and continued carefully studying the pair of humans before her, which she undoubtedly hoped would soon represent easy prey
“Clementine, I don’t believe we’ve met – I’m sure you’d like to befriend this one?”
>“You bet your apples I would – got twenty-two friends just like him – but something tells we you’re going to be less than cooperative in handing him over”
>>
>>30730218
>I tried to sneak a wry smile, but instead found myself troubled by the sudden grappling of the man beneath my foot, his sudden movements proving tricky to compensate for
>As I struggled to solidify my balance, I leaned more weight into his back while the pistol’s slipped along his spine and into the air
>While I tightened my grip on the firearm and looked at the agitated pony, the man let out a weak cry, apparently apathetic of how close his wrestling had brought him to getting shot
“Sorry, Clementine, but this one’s mine”
>I couldn’t fathom why a seemingly full-blooded human would rather take his chances with a Pegasus like Clementine Breeze than with me, but for some reason, he renewed his fight
>Maybe panic combined with too much late-night television, and he thought I was going to take him back to camp to cannibalize him?
“Hey, whoa, stop fighting, I’m one of the good guys”
>“Fuck you! Get off me! Get away!”
>As one of his legs took a decently powerful, yet poorly aimed, swing at my crotch, I did everything I could to help quell his fears
>His quickening breathing provided a clear indicator that I wasn’t doing a very good job
“Calm down, you’re going to be alright… Just relax, alright? Nothing bad’s going to happen to you”
>With one foot still planted on the unmoving tile, I adjusted my posture so that, not only did I have a shoe on his shoulder, but I could pin his shifting shoulder blades using my free hand
>In light of the fact that my gloves had been stashed in my backpack, I couldn’t shake the slight unease that I may have missed sight a small patch of fur somewhere
>>
>>30730231
>Nonetheless, as I planted the base of my palm on one shoulder blade and three of my fingers on the other, I noticed nothing out of the ordinary that could signify fur or hoof growth
>After doing so, I glanced back at Clementine Breeze, the restless Pegasus now methodically shifting back and forth with slightly folded wings that ruffled with the hallway’s slight breeze
>Her ears twitched and spun about, and as I listened closely, I could tell exactly why
>Only a few inches through the mortar composing the walls, or a few inches beyond the steel composing the ceilings’ and floors’ girders, were numerous herds of ponies
>And boy, they all wanted to make some new friends today…
>“No, please! At least let me take off my clothes, or something! You won! Stop, stop! You won!”
“Sshhh… not so loud…”
>I pressed into the man’s back with renewed force as he continued to struggle, his breathing quickening further as primal grunts bellowed forth from his lower gut
>Within a few seconds, the quick gasps of air died away, and he began to relax… and relax… until his whole body had fallen limp beneath my foot and hand
>As I moved my free hand to the front of his face to check for airflow, as well as to his neck to check for a pulse, I let out a sigh of relief that I hadn’t killed the only other human in town
>Still, there was a limp body beneath my foot, and no fewer than a half dozen ponies who would eagerly descend on him soon if I didn’t get both of us moving
>>
>>30730239
>“What the hay did you do to him? I can’t befriend him if he’s dead, you know”
“He’s not dead, he just passed out because he was scared of… oh… shoot, I told him my name, right? He does know I’m a human?”
>“Yeah, oops”
>After shrugging almost imperceptibly, Clementine Breeze absentmindedly licked her lips and primed herself in a position signaling an eager readiness to pounce
>I unflaggingly kept her in my vision, but with thoughts of escape consuming my mind, I was crushed to scan my surroundings and find no ideal route of escape
>On one side, a multicolored aura of several unicorns’ magic had enveloped the doorway leading from the stairwell in the corridor’s midsection, the hefty locks shuddering under the force
>Behind us, an unwavering rhythm of crashes rang out from the steel utility door as a pair of determined ponies drove their hooves into it with steady resolve
>There were no escape routes except… maybe…
>As I shut one eye and stared down the pistol’s sights, the solution finally clicked
>Except for going past Clementine Breeze…
>I mean, I’d been scared of taking the shot before this because the herd was going to converge on me… but that didn’t seem to be a concern when every pony in town was here already
>I straightened out my arm in the hopes of staving off tinnitus, gently fanning my fingers outwards and rewrapping them in a firm grip around the pistol as I aligned the sights
>>
>>30730245
>“You won’t do it. I know you won’t do it”
>The front sight drifted to Clementine Breeze’s burly chest of fluffy, orange fur, bracketed by her anxiously twitching wings, and halted there as I released a long exhale
>I barely even registered the sensation of gently squeezing the trigger, or the initial crack of gunpowder, or the puff of disturbed fur as the bullet met its target
>A moment later, however, I did notice the deafening roar echoing through the hallway, despite my ears registering a high-pitched ringing over it all
>I noticed Clementine Breeze’s eyes go wide and her stance weakly shudder backward, while her ears suddenly found themselves at attention
>And most of all, I noticed the growing spot of red that attempted to compliment her lurid orange fur to the side of her torso

This is the part where I remind everyone – whether you’re at home, work, or school – it’s important to always have an exit plan!
Cuddly Doom will continue its standard Monday/Thursday schedule with its next update on the evening of Thursday August 17th.
I hope you all have an excellent week!

The REAL question is if Clementine has it in her to lunge at Peter, and then you gotta wonder what the ponies really had in mind when Andrew showed up to talk with James. Did he really escape or was it all a ploy?

Let's guess that you can transform into a pone with a medical operation so easily like a sex change, would you do that with the consequence of have to explain all of your family and friends why you decided to give up your humanity and even be hated for some conservative idiots?

Nope, make it a nice easy magic tf. I think I could give my friends and family a decent explanation. "I'm damn cute" should suffice.

What makes a pony perfect for you?
>>
>>30738574
What would make a pony perfect for me?
I would prefer, if possible, for the changes to be magical rather than effected by science (i.e. pon-E usage). So going along with that logic, it would also be preferable to be transported to Equestria and perhaps have my mind altered in someway. Perhaps not in a way that would remove my memories, but more along the lines of personality alterations so I could live a 'normal' life there. A perfect pony is therefore one that is just kinda... normal?
>>
>>30738627
Drop the mental changes and then this is perfect.

It was mentioned above. Our thread has slowed to a snail pace with little to no interaction so a lot of us writers felt like we were writing and hoping someone read where on other threads the interaction was far more present. We're all still around the discord but the thread is no more.

Ugh.
It had the potential to be cute, but a lot of these self insert stories get obnoxious when the author is clearly self inserting with personal traits shoehorned into the narration.
In this case it's the "I am leet hax0r" shtick, although this "trope" is much more frequently seen with TG authors having a weird fixation for droning about music and the bands they like.

>As a narrow trickle of blood began to snake its way down Clementine Breeze’s chest and pivoted toward the upper portion of her leg, the Pegasus’ weakened muscles started to tremble
>I didn’t know whether the bullet was a direct hit to any vital organs given its downwards trajectory to the diminutive mare
>However, her strength was visibly sapped, so it clearly did a lot of damage in one form or another
>She gently lowered herself into a seated position before gravity brought her further downwards, collapsing through the final inches with reckless abandon
>From her uncharacteristically meek posture, she slowly let her head roll in whatever direction it chose, bringing her gaze to focus on nothing in particular
>Her half-lidded eyes were glazed over, and short, labored breaths issued forth from her flared nostrils & ajar mouth as she abruptly found herself amidst a battle for her life
>After a few seconds of aimlessness, she directed her attention inaccurately in the direction of the listless man beneath my foot, sporting a desperate, pleading, and guilty expression
>“Can you wake him up…”
>I peered at her sluggishly preoccupied face through the pistol’s sights, lining up my aim with a spot squarely between her eyes
“Why would I owe you any favors?”
>“Come on… I don’t… I don’t want to die… Please… He’s an EMT… He’ll know what to do…”
>I’d never put much thought into how much energy it took to cry, but even as Clementine Breeze’s gasps became choked and increasingly strained, tears gathered in the corners of her eyes
>>
>>30749636
>Her ears, once perked and attendant, began to falter into a flattened state against her head as their utility waned, like the first petals of a dying flower beginning to wither away
“Well, he’s pretty well knocked out at this point”
>“O-O-Oh… Okay…”
>She tried to raise her eyes to meet mine, but as her skirmish with gravity ended in a poignant loss, her vision stalled at the level of the horizon
>It wasn’t angled high enough to focus on me, and it wasn’t low enough to notice the pool of deep crimson gradually spreading beneath her wound
>While paused halfway, she performed the slowest blink I could imagine, gradually rolling her eyelids shut and narrowly open again over the span of several seconds
>“Blank… B-B…”
>The mare fell silent as a weak, trembling exhale escaped her throat
“What is it, Clementine?”
>“Blanket…”
>She softly lowered her head to the floor as her body began to shiver, even though wrapped in the plush down of her feathers and a cozy layer of fur
“I’ll see what I can do for you, Clementine, you want to take a nice nap?”
>A weak sigh of affirmation heralded the final drips of lifeblood slipping from Clementine Breeze as she let her eyes slump closed, her muscles relaxing from chest to tail
>Given that I’d come to tune out the frantic cries of the nearby ponies and each panic-stricken assault they levied against the doors, the corridor became remarkably tranquil
>There were two inert bodies at my feet, but as I glanced down at the grey hoodie draped over one of them, the gentle rise and fall of respiration could be discerned through it
>The same couldn’t be said for the unmoving orange fur coating the other body
>>
>>30749646
>We were sitting ducks if we stayed in this hallway, considering there weren’t any other humans for miles with which the hundreds of ponies around here could occupy their time
>I clicked the pistol’s safety on and tucked it into my belt, seeing as I’d been too hasty to find a proper holster for it, but would still need two hands for what I was about to do
>As I stooped down to pick up the man, I tried to do so as gently and noiselessly as possible, but it was trivial after the loud crack of the gunshot that left my ears still faintly ringing
>I didn’t do a great job either, as the act of hoisting him into a fireman’s carry over my shoulders prodded him with the rifle in my backpack, and a distressing grunt could be clearly heard
>Nevertheless, as I carefully trudged in a generous arc around Clementine Breeze’s body, the hallway ahead looked clear…
>We were making progress…
>Proceeding to the hallway’s corner, I lowered one hand toward my waist in expectation of ponies lying in wait around the wall, hoping to ambush the markedly armed humans
>None materialized as the remaining half of the dark hallway came into view, the interior walls bearing no windows as a singular battery-operated string of lights weakly illuminated the chaos
>The corridor’s length was filled with numerous curious artifacts of human civilization throw intermittently in small heaps against the walls
>Papers… office supplies… a couple of large, heavy filing cabinets… a desk here and there…
>This certainly seemed to be an odd place for these furnishings… wouldn’t they be more appropriate within the offices a few yards away?
>>
>>30749656
>I mused over the mysterious tumult for a few moments before a sharp thump on a door near one of the piles attracted my attention, an unseen pony attempting to breach the barricade
>The closer I looked, the more it became obvious that the filing cabinets had been intentionally piled against some of the doors, while the doors that could actually be locked had been sealed
>Holy shit, Clementine Breeze was so intent on being the one to make the kill, that she was willing to shut herself in the pincer with her prey? That’s gutsy…
>Her hubris, while tragic for the recently deceased hunter, ended up playing into our hand, as the ponies found it considerably difficult to quickly chip away at the hallway’s defenses
>All the same, I couldn’t count on humble locks, a wedged door, a lack of windows, or even the seemingly adamantine might of steel and concrete to hold back the herd’s resolve forever
>The volume of the ponies’ cacophonous kicks grew louder with each additional pair of hooves, and as crashes continued echoing from every direction, I knew they only needed one success
>Moreover, attempting to defend the corridor if there were multiple simultaneous entries would be a near-impossibility
>Clementine Breeze had been only one pony, and moreover, an unmoving target fully convinced I wouldn’t take the shot after granting me plentiful time to line it up
>While at the firing range, I’d never practiced with moving targets… Or, for that matter, multiple assailants…
>As I readjusted the man hanging over my shoulders, I freed up a hand to begin probing the twenty to thirty doors filling the hallway’s hundred-plus foot length that stretched out before me
>>
>>30749513
That would last as long as it would take for Anon's horse to shit in the royal garden and eat her flower beds.
>>
>>30749659
>I first tried the doors on the hallway’s eastern side, considering that, just maybe, one of the rooms could’ve connected through to the parallel hallway at the building’s edge
>That hallway had a promising bank of office doors offering possible egress, and moreover, the machine shop’s door was there, and that’s where I needed to go to find the radio’s final parts
>As I wiggled the doorknobs, many appeared to be sternly locked, and by the fifth failure, my uneasy hope was beginning to evaporate
>A breakthrough came immediately after, but not only with the very next doorknob I tried, but also with the distant crash of the utility door exploding open somewhere around the corner
>With my impromptu barrier no longer forestalling the deluge of furiously shouting equines from rushing into the hallway, I hustled into the dark room, threw the door closed, and locked it
>“Clementine Breeze, are you okay? It sounded like there were fireworks in here”
>“Melody, didn’t you hear what Cobalt said? She… it wasn’t…”
>“Clementine, wake up! Why are you sleeping?! Wake up! Wake up!”
>Even as the rattled exchange between the two unseen stallions became louder and more frantic, it was drowned out by a second door breach and a group of mares surging into the hallway
>“The two of them are around here; there were two voices I heard!”
>“Yeah, I heard that too – where’d they go? Which door did they go in?”
>“I didn’t see, did you? None of these doors have windows… uh…”
>A brief pause ensued, most likely from the ponies either diligently unlocking hallway doors for their comrades, or attempting to gain access to one of the rooms
>The fleeting tranquility was interrupted when a cry of frustration was accompanied by a hollow, metallic crash of hooves against one of the distant doors
>>
>>30749664
>“All these feather-fluttering doors are locked, and my hooves already hurt like all get out!”
>“Mine too! The utility door back there was hard, hard steel!”
>“Me three! Would somepony please find Blueberry?”
>“He doesn’t have his lockpicking tools with him, you know. He left them at home…”
>“Don’t worry, we’ve got time – we’ve got nothing but time at this point”
>“Okay, yeah, I mean, so long as the Pegasi are keeping watch over the outside of the building… I’ll go find him. Hang tight, everypony”
>Serenity briefly returned as a couple sets of hooves departed down the hallway, audibly weaving around the ponies scattered along its length
>As the man over my shoulders began to stir, I suddenly dreaded the notion that he could awaken kicking and screaming, if he were under the impression that ponies had descended on him
>With his intermittent groans of slight disorientation becoming less hushed with each passing moment, I retrieved my flashlight, clicked it on, and maneuvered through the pitch black room
>The room’s back wall, which caught much of the light, featured a plethora of safety and academic posters, and of far more interest was a door or unknown destination
>I filed its presence away in the back of my mind, taking note of its simple lock that, if I wanted to open the door, could be quickly undone… hopefully not by any dexterous unicorns, though…
>Upon arriving in a small side room far away from the hallway door, I rolled the man into a seated position against some cabinetry, propping his body up as his head lolled to the side
>I eased myself next to him, wrapping a hand over his shoulder and covering his mouth shortly before he unconsciously muttered a few muffled words
>Within a minute or two, his eyelids slowly fluttered open, becoming wide and frantic as he tried to figure out where he was, and more importantly, what species he’d become
>>
>>30749669
>I raised my free hand a few inches in front of his face and waggled my fingers, which initially confused him, but importantly, succeeded in stymieing his outcry
>As he raised his own fingers into view and carefully studied them, I retracted my hand that had been cupped over his befuddled mouth
>He glanced at me with bewilderment in his eyes, even as his expression attempted to present an ephemeral effigy of a smile, before speaking up in a gentle whisper
>“What the hell happened…”
“Your fuckin’ guardian angel showed up, kid”
>As a calm sigh of relief echoed through the cramped alcove, I leaned forward to gently shut the side room’s door, putting two doors’ safety between us and the herd of equines in the hall
>Upon moving to secure the door, my heart sank when I realized that we wouldn’t have the luxury of a locked second barrier, as any unicorn could swing the handle with an ounce of effort
>However, as the two of us rose to our feet and my newfound companion redoubled his trust in his hands, it was consoling to talk without suspicion of being easily heard by prying ears
>“Why did you save me? Where’s the orange Pegasus? And who the hell are you?”
“My name’s Peter… sorry for not saying so earlier when things got a bit rough”
>“No kidding, I… I thought I was done for. Call me James. Seriously, I owe you one if we make it out of this”
>The low, dull crash of hooves rang out in the dim void as an impatient pony hastily and fruitlessly labored at one of the many doors speckling the hallway’s edge
“Yeah, about that contingency… To get you up to speed, I brought you into… well, one of the labs in here. The ponies just don’t know which one but they’re doing their best to figure it out”
>“That Pegasus was watching yours and my every move – I’m surprised you got out of her sight”
>>
>>30749676
“Clementine Breeze isn’t, um, she isn’t on my list of concerns anymore, and while I wish she hadn’t brought this on herself…”
>Even though James and I were both standing, it was still a bit tricky to simultaneously lift up the edge of my shirt, slightly contort my upper body, and point the flashlight at my waist
>Nonetheless, as the brilliant white light glistened off the shimmering steel of the handgun tucked into my belt, James saw and understood my implication loud and clear
>As if to drive the point home, I tenderly plucked the pistol from my belt and stared at its imposing silhouette in my hand, its weight one cartridge lighter than it had been a few minutes ago
>“Peter, you… you killed her?”
>James tried to maintain the stern expression written across his face, but as a series of slight tics wriggled through, he appeared preemptively disturbed by the answer he knew he’d receive
“This was a pony that didn’t want to ‘befriend’ you, James. She kept score of the humans she caught as though it were a game, and we were nothing more than a two point addition”
>“Well, sure, I mean, I think I actually talked to another pony who was in on that… Storm Cloud, this chipper little purple Pegasus… it’s just… it’s not as though she was the root of all evil…”
“Well, I hope for her sake, as well as ours, that she doesn’t take this… ‘hunting’ thing very seriously. I’m not in this to kill ponies for the fun of it”
>“I didn’t say she’s a senseless ‘hunter’ with a death wish… Just because she keeps track doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about her friends afterwards…”
>Conflicting forces cancelled out as they tried raising my eyebrows in stunned surprise, while concurrently furrowing my brow in tremendous confusion
“And how could either of us know whether she cares about the people she turns? I mean, no offense, but someone would have to be insane to do that kind if recon in the lion’s den”
>>
>>30749682
>“I was led to believe that, even now, she still looks out for her friend, Sky Meadows. I think that was the first pony she befriended, and she cares about her more than befriending new ones”
>James spoke unfalteringly, firmly gesturing with the aid of an outstretched finger at his talking points afloat in the air
>I shifted the weight between my feet as a feeling of unease bubbled up within my otherwise pervasive bewilderment
“How the hell would you even know something like that? What would possibly lead to you say that so confidently?”
>“She had the chance to turn me into one of them, but she let me go so that she could be with Sky Meadows after they’d spent ten, eleven, twelve hours apart”
>As a shiver ran up my spine, I abruptly started to feel the weight of the pistol in my hand again, the dense steel asserting its heft anew
>First it had been Chloe, now you, James?
>One of these days, I was going to find a human who had genuinely succeeded at surviving the herd, but my optimism of that day being today was rapidly fading
>I thought I’d been thorough enough looking him over, checking his back, hands, hand – the whole nine yards short of rolling him over or pulling down his pants…
>But… yesterday, Clementine Breeze was talking about how it would help to be crafty with how little infection could be spread, ‘a single small patch of fur’ was all she said would be necessary
>What if James had tucked a few strands of tail or a few tufts of fur beneath his pants, and he was as much of a time bomb as Chloe had been?
>For all I knew, I’d not only put my own escape in jeopardy, but also willingly hoisted a doomed man over my shoulders, to fall into what may have been just another clever ploy by the ponies
“This Storm Cloud pony was just, like, basically on top of you, and then said, ‘fuck it, never mind?’”
>>
>>30749691
>James, now levelling his gaze in my direction, paid particular attention to the pistol as he silently recognized my own uneasiness
>“I mean… basically... It happened a couple of times, but each time, Sky Meadows stopped her from going forward with it…”
>A soft click accompanied the pistol’s safety going off, and while I didn’t have a ton of space in the cramped room to put more than five yards’ distance between us, I backed up to the wall
>James, illuminated in the flashlight’s circular radiance, featured the mortified expression of a deer caught in the headlights as the gun’s business end rose into view, wavering in my shaky grip
“I’m s-sorry… James, turn arou-”
>“Peter, stop, I never said I was infected…”
“Turn around, put your hands on your head, face the door. I… I’m not going to shout or else the ponies might hear”
>“Look, I’m telling you, dude, I’m not infected… please… you have to believe me on this…”
>I avoided exerting verbal austerity in hopes of keeping him calm, but when I made a pair of jittery coaxing motions with the pistol, he was clearly unnerved
>As James bit his lip and slowly obeyed my commands, his pleading expression turned away at the last possible moment, lest he pass up a few more moments to garner my sympathies
“I’m not going to execute you here and now, if that’s where you think this is going. I already said: I’m worried about the ponies hearing. So that’s not going to happen”
>James released a long, tremulous exhale as he gently stroked his gloved fingers in slow, introspective motions through his hair
>“You think I may as well already be one of them, though…”
“It isn’t your fault. The ponies use it like a hunting tactic. Get one person sufficiently horsed up, then turn nearby humans friendly enough to play ball with the herd”
>>
>>30749697
>“They didn’t do that to me… I looked myself over and didn’t find anything… hell, as far as stomachs go, I don’t think ponies can even digest meat, yet Sky Meadows fed me some when…”
>James trailed off and I felt a shiver rack my body as the thought of the ponies somehow spiking the food supply arose in each of our minds
“It’s my wish that we didn’t have anything to worry about. Again, I’m sorry about what I’m asking you to do. Truly, I am. Take off your clothes, all of them”
>James was slow to comply, eventually removing his gloves amid a pair of sharp snaps before rubbing his eyes with the base of his exposed palms
>“Peter, you’re not going to make me walk the plank, are you? I don’t want to be one of them… I… You know I’d just give your location away? It’d be as bad for you as it would be for me…”
“James, we’re going to look you over, head to toe, and it’s my sincere hope that we don’t find anything, and that’s the end of it”
>He stared distantly at his feet while tenderly pulling the hoodie away from his body, revealing a faded Carmine Ambulance logo on a curtain of dark blue cotton
>“And… And if we do?”
>I rewrapped my fingers around the pistol’s grip as I let out a soft, apprehensive sigh
>If the situation came down to it, the truth was going to hurt, but considering James seemed to have mentally held up thus far, he deserved to hear it unabridged
“You’ll have been… doomed from the start... I’m sorry... I won’t kill you – the least we can do is make sure the herd only grows by one today… I just hope it doesn’t come to that…”
>James slowly nodded as he pulled the shirt over his head, revealing the well-formed muscles of his back, and more importantly, a distinct and utter lack of misplaced feathers
>>
>>30749707
>His shoes and socks followed, and after a bit of fidgeting and the metallic scraping of a belt latch, his jeans fell to the floor and were kicked away
>For the sake of letting James keep a shred of his dignity, the pistol’s aim descended so he wasn’t being held at gunpoint during the final steps
>My face turned profusely red on account of the necessary embarrassment, and I could only pray that James didn’t sense it in my voice
“Underwear too… I just… want to be sure you don’t have a tail or stallion parts tucked away. Again, I’m sorry…”
>James suppressed the audible groan I expected from him, but an annoyed roll of his head said everything he refused to vocalize
>After dropping his drawers, he gradually turned himself in a circle, slowly enough to leave no reasonable doubt that he was fully human, but with certain eagerness for the ordeal to end
>“Peter, how come you don’t need to go through this shit? How do I know you’re not half pony under there?”
“If I were half pony, I wouldn’t have saved your ass and shot ‘another herd member’ in the process. Now do you want to keep talking, or get dressed?”
>Finding my response sufficient, James nodded in affirmation and let his expression soften upon gradually acknowledging he was no longer being held at gunpoint
>While keenly searching for the socks that went with each shoe, he shot me a lukewarm smile
>“You know, if the ponies rushed in here right now, they’d probably set the record for a conversion. A dozen of them, no clothes on me, man to mare in four seconds flat”
>Much as I didn’t want to laugh at his slightly morbid joke, I was unsuccessful at stifling a slight chuckle as James donned his pants
“I’m glad you’ve at least got a sense of humor though it all”
>>
>>30749716
>“Well, It’s not the first time in the past couple days I’ve been strip-searched on suspicion of ponydom…”
“And I’ll say it again. I’m sorry. It’s just that I almost got turned by a half-transformed person myself, so I’m a bit jumpy”
>James was still thoroughly embroiled in redressing himself, and in particular retying his shoes tightly, but his pace slowed noticeably amid his interest in the new conversation topic
>“Half-transformed? What, like… they escaped… when they still had their wits about them?”
>I drew in a long, thoughtful inhale as I mulled over the events of Saturday – how I’d come to know Chloe, build her trust, lose it, and abandon both her and her humanity, all within an hour
“Not exactly… as I sort of mentioned, Clementine Breeze floated the idea of using half-transformed humans as bait, as a trap of sorts”
“They took a person I trusted – well, nowadays, that would be any human, but yesterday, it was a former Carmine student named Chloe that I stumbled upon in one of the lecture halls…”
“Anyways, she got caught in an ambush, and even though she truly thought she’d escaped, it was only because the ponies had willingly let her do so after transforming her a little bit”
“Their idealized goal was for her to approach me, since she already had my trust and was convinced she’d be okay, and spread the infection before I even realized that she was a goner”
“For all I know, it might’ve worked if not for her Pegasus wings tearing through her shirt… I have to count my blessings that was the case”
“I wish there was something I could’ve done for her, but half-transformed humans, really no matter how far gone they are, are like hand grenades after the ponies already pulled the pin…”
>>
>>30749721
>I sighed in grieving memory of the teal Pegasus stallion that had supplanted my short-lived friendship, and after doing so, noticed James staring contemplatively at the floor
>He was putting his hoodie back on with automatic absentmindedness, buried so deep in thought that it would seemingly take a week in an excavator to fully dig him out
“James, is something wrong?”
>He blinked rapidly before returning to reality, allowing his gaze to slowly drift upwards and reestablish eye contact with me
>“Yeah… Yeah, no, I’m fine. Sorry”
“What were you thinking about? Did you catch everything I was saying?”
>“I did – Chloe, half-transformed humans as bait, hand grenades – I’m just wondering… you know… these ponies are really crafty… and… it’s just the two of us now… how fucked are we?”
>James’ voice seemed to waver slightly, as though he may have had other thoughts on his mind, but I didn’t attempt to pry further toward hostile, or possibly nonexistent, worries
>That was exceptionally true when I considered the importance of the question he’d verbalized
“I mean, as you’ve probably noticed, the town’s essentially been cut off. There was a stallion by the name of Morning Star who made quite sure that was the case”
>“That, plus the blackout… I haven’t communicated with anything or anyone outside of a couple miles’ radius since Friday… The last I saw, there were smoke plumes clear out to the river…”
>I scratched the back of my head morosely, considering it was undeniable that the ponies had swept through a massive swath of land in only a few hours, with no sign of letting up
>Still, it hadn’t seemed fast enough to fully engulf an entire continent in just the past two days, so, certainly, somewhere out there, a government and an army must’ve been kicking
>>
>>30749723
“My guess is, beyond the ponies’ reach – and I figure there has to be a front somewhere beyond the horizon – we can contact people. The university has a radio that can do just that”
>James drew back his lips and narrowed his eyes, directing a distant stare at the floor tiles as though they held the grand answers to our escape
>“Peter, I’m guessing you haven’t seen the radio, but my default assumption is that Morning Star smashed it”
“He did, but he didn’t do a good job of it. I didn’t know what I’d make of my master’s degree in electrical engineering when I first got it, but boy, it’s really coming in handy now”
>I eagerly shifted my shoulders and took a knee in order to let my backpack smoothly slide to the ground, settling with a soft thud before the familiar jingle of the zipper heralded its opening
>In my haste, I found myself grappling with the wrong zipper a moment too late, and my face turned bright red as the backpack’s main compartment spilled some of its contents to the floor
>Not only did an apple, some bags of food, and a water bottle spill out, but so too did a bright pink My Little Pony figurine I’d snatched from an abandoned stroller in an act of macabre humor
>I swiftly returned the figurine to the backpack, silently cursing the fact that my luck couldn’t have been much worse if the rifle had also fallen out and accidentally discharged into my foot
“That was… that was definitely not the right compartment”
>“Wow, didn’t realize a gun-toting badass like yourself was a brony, too”
“I… I don’t know, I was trying to be ironic, y’know? Thought it was a funny thing to have when I found it. THIS is what I meant to open”
>After triple-checking my hand placement, I briskly zipped open one of the backpack’s outer compartments, flashed its small heap of assorted electric components at James, and shut it again
>>
>>30749726
>I wiped my brow, which was the next best thing to wiping away my embarrassment, as a faint grumbling emanating from James’ stomach worked nicely to change the subject
>“Uh… I’m sorry, I still haven’t had much to eat in the past twenty-four hours… I keep thinking I’ve found a food source, and then something happens, you know…”
“Yeah, help yourself, man”
>After picking up the apple and a small bag of chips from where they’d come to rest on the floor, I offered them with outstretched arms to James, though he initially seemed apprehensive
>“Peter, I wouldn’t want to ask too much from you if it meant you’d go hungry, but I’ll at least take the apple for now”
>James followed through on his word by snatching the apple from my hand, zipping open the pouch of supplies fastened at the side of his hip, and dropping it in
>He gave the newfound prize a couple of gentle taps, with the supply pouch bulging slightly while he labored to zip it shut
>I shot him an incredulous look as he stared at me obliviously for several seconds, seemingly unaware of the gentle gurgling through which his stomach was voicing its protest
“James, seriously, I have enough food for, like, three people and no one else to share it with. I don’t want your rumbling stomach to give away our position once we’re outta here”
>I shook the bag of chips at his general direction, sending forth a barrage of insistent rustling and attracting James’ attention as he licked his lips hungrily
>Following a couple seconds of contemplation, he slowly reached forward, accepted the gift, and lowered himself into a comfortable seated position
>I wasn’t surprised by the manner in which he greedily devoured the chips, especially when it was clear that his own stoicism was veiling the extent of his hunger a few moments earlier
>>
>>30749732
>Watching him ravage the bag of chips nearly prompted me to make a joke about him eating like a horse, but given the gravity of our situation, I felt it would be in bad taste
>He still elicited a genuine, beaming smile as I offered him a sandwich from within the backpack, its bread glutted with a wide assortment of meats, cheese, and vegetables
>After ardently retrieving it from me, he set the empty bag of chips on the ground and unwrapped the sandwich’s saran wrap with bated breath, as though its plastic were gold leaf
>As he continued gorging himself ravenously on every morsel of food that had previously been rendered unattainable by the apocalypse, I did my best to explain the path forward
“I have just about everything I need for the radio in here… Then it’s just a matter of putting the transmitter together in my office and getting this damn thing online”
“It shouldn’t be too much of a hassle, you know, if not for the ponies. That’s always how it is, right? ‘Not too much of a hassle, if not for the ponies.’”
“Anyways, the ponies don’t know where my super-secret lair… cave… whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-it is, and I’m not planning on telling you either until the last min-”
>As James furrowed his brow and sunk his teeth into the sandwich, I briefly averted my eye contact and let out a slow, guilty groan upon realizing my absence of tact
“Okay, sorry, that sounds kind of mean. At least, if worse comes to worse and you inadvertently join them, there’s still have a chance. It’s not that I don’t trust your HUMAN self”
>James stared blankly and continued to chew on a bite of sandwich as I awkwardly scratched the back of my neck
>>
>>30749737
“Uhh, so, yeah, I’ll… I’ll at least tell you the office is somewhere over in the sciences building, next door… Not sure how we’ll get there when it sounds like they have Pegasi on watch…”
“We’ll take it one step at a time… but now that I have all of these components, we’re totally ready for… no wait, there’s still ONE more thing…”
>I released a long, tortured sigh and rubbed my temples upon remembering that the schematic, despite featuring a plethora of check marks, wasn’t completely covered
“Damn it, I need a long, long spool of wire that I can run up the antenna. So as soon as you’re done with lunch, we’ll bust our way out of here and grab one that I saw last week”
“If you know where the machine shop is, that’s where it is”
>James nearly choked as he hastily swallowed his current mouthful of sandwich, stifling a cough while he did his best to respond
>“The machine shop? Like, the machine shop with the door in the building’s eastern hallway?”
“Yeah, that’s the one. Have you been there before? I saw you were an EMT with Carmine Ambulance, so I take it you were a student here?”
>“Uhhh, yeah… yeah, I had some classes in that machine shop so I know exactly which room you’re talking about”
>I furrowed my brow, as I couldn’t recall the school ever holding full classes in what I’d thought was one of the faculty-only shops, but I must’ve simply not been paying close attention
“When was that class, last semester? Well, at any rate, there’s the door by which I entered the lab room, and there’s another door in the back that… I don’t know where it goes”
>James and I both turned our heads as a soft, dull thud thundered through the walls, most likely from a pony taking an inquisitive, yet less than forceful, kick at a distant locked door
“The ponies engulfed the one hallway, so I’m hoping that the other door leads us to the eastern hallway, in some way, shape, or form”
>>
>>30749743
“Once we’re in that hallway, we fight back any ponies we need to – hopefully fewer of them – get to the machine shop, and go from there”
>James uneasily traced a long line with his fingers, rubbing his arm with visible nerves that refused to voice some bubbling conflict
>“Peter, you saved me from the ponies, and bought me lunch to boot. I owe you one, so let me stick my neck out and go to the machine shop to get you this wire. It’s the very least I can do”
“Come on, James, shouldn’t we go together? Two guns are always better than one if we… get into… trouble…”
>The memory of Chloe flashed through my mind, the thoughts of her addled speech coming back as clearly as if she were awkwardly leaning on half-hooved feet in this very room
>It didn’t matter that I had a gun… It’s good that there was only one of me…
>“Peter, I can do this, and do it by myself. Where’s the wire you need? What does it look like?”
>I chewed on my lip and sized up James, silently praying that this wouldn’t be the last time I’d see him as a human
“You’re sure you can get it?”
>“I can. If worst comes to worst and you hear my voice begging you to open the door while it goes up two octaves and starts giggling about rainbows, that’s on me. At least you’ll escape”
>By no means was I ready to condemn the only human I’d seen in the past day, especially so soon after having come across him
>Then again, it wasn’t a choice between him versus me getting ponified, rather, it was a choice between him versus BOTH of us
“Alright, but don’t come crying back with your tail between your legs if they… literally give you a tail. If it’s really you at the door, tap twice, then snap twice. I don’t think ponies can snap”
>“That works as well as anything else. Two taps, two snaps”
>>
>>30749749
“Right. The thing I need is a big wooden spool of white wire, should be next to the band saw with the red blade guard on it. You can’t miss it if you’re looking for it. Oh, and James…”
>I picked up the pistol and ran through a quick check of its moving parts, the procedure for doing so now coming automatically with negligible concern about damaged rounds
>After all the parts shifted back into their native positions with a metallic click, I handed the pistol over, a faint look of concern glimmering in James’ eyes as he hesitantly reached to receive it
>“What… What are…”
“I still have my rifle with me, and I can live without a sidearm if that’s what it comes down to. You know how to work this?”
>“I-I do, though it’s been a few years. I mean, I… I REMEMBER everything but maybe my marksmanship is a bit r-rusty… M-My uncle let me shoot hay bales at the family farm…”
“Okay, good. There’s fourteen rounds in there, after I used one to… you know… put Clementine Breeze to sleep. That pistol is yours now, for when you need it”
>James tremulously applied a slight force to slide, checked the gun’s breach, and hefted the steel in his hand with a distinct lack of enthusiasm
>“If I need it…”
“No, trust me. WHEN you need it”

With that, Chapter 7 comes to a close.
Tune in next week for the arrival of Cuddly Doom’s action-packed final chapter! (Note that Monday won’t be the final UPDATE; a lot has yet to happen over the coming weeks!)
As is standard, the story will update on the evening of Monday August 21, in line with its Monday/Thursday update schedule.
Until then, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Sleep tight, don’t let the Pegasi bite!

Behind the Wire is back
Quick recap: Pearl got her cutie mark, Straightedge and Morning glory (Nick and Kyle) have been taken away, Sunrise is having a nap, and biscuits are delicious
https://pastebin.com/t22Pcuvi

>We quickly gathered around her, with Pearl eagerly showing her the new addition to her flank
>Sunrise smiled and nodded gesturing over to the paint
>Pearl quickly dashed back over to her portrait
>She picked up the brush and swiped it back and forth to emulate painting, then touched her hoof to her flank and made the best approximation of the sound as she drew her hoof away
>Sunrise seemed puzzled by this and gestured to the paint, then back at Pearls mark
>We all shake our heads
>Moonglow jumps in and gestured to the mark, then rears up on his hindlegs and draws his fore hooves out as he emulates the sound
>At the same time a small flash of light emanates from his horn
>He makes a startled squawk and falls backward onto his hunches
>I quickly rush to his side and find him starring up at his horn, aw struck but uninjured
>The others gathered round him, staring expectantly at his horn
>He tentatively prods it with his hoof, as though expecting it to explode, or shoot lasers, or both
>After a few moments it becomes clear that it will not do anything on its own
>Moonglow frowns and closes his eyes
>The entire room goes quiet as the other ponies gather round to watch his performance
>Several minutes pass before Moonglows horn starts to give of a faint shimmer
>It slowly grows in intensity for several seconds before He opens his eyes to look at it
>He smiles upon seeing the light blue light, clearly pleased with whatever form of sorcery he has managed
>The crowd shifts its attention from his horn to his flank
>Much to everyone’s surprise nothing happened
>Moon and I frowned slightly as the crowd began to disperse
>Sunrise gave him an encouraging nuzzle before turning back to Pearl and giving her a hug
>>
>>30751439
>I don’t think anyone knows what the mark means, but we all grasp that it’s important for something
>I furrow my brow as I try to recall seeing anything like it in the kennels
>Failing to recall anything I turn to Sunrise, she would probably know
>I bray to get her attention and then point at Pearls mark
>She nods and waits for the second part of the question
>Unable to think of any way to act out the lab, I quickly draw a cage on my canvas
>Sunrise bobs her head in comprehension as she puts on a thinking face
>After a second she shakes her head and lets out a snort, she never saw this happen in the kennel
>Hazel brays at her, and quickly draws a crude yellow pony
>Sunrise nods and moves for us to follow
>She leads us out of the barn and over to the other building
>This place still sets me on edge
>I know they wouldn’t hurt me here, but if I never see lab equipment again it would be too soon
>Lacking hands to pull the door open, Sunrise simply points at it
>Apparently Straightedge and Morning Glory have been taken in there for some reason
>”Are you looking for your friends?”
>The sudden voice was enough to make us all jump
>I wheel around to see the nice doctor from yesterday
>”Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you” he says with a smile
>Nice or not, I still have enough leftover anxiety about doctors to keep my distance
>He kneels down and slowly reaches out to me
>”It’s okay Lightning, I’m not going to hurt you”
>I slowly step forward, taking a quick sniff at his hand
>>
>>30751441
>It smells disturbingly like disinfectant, but I did my best to retain my composure
>I don’t want to spook Pearl or Hazel more than they already are
>”There we go, you remember me”
>He gently pats my nose
>The gesture is oddly calming, certainly not the kind of treatment I got in the lab
>”I’ve been working on your request, we’re going to set up some laptops in the common area for you to use. You think that would work?”
>I stand there for a moment before realizing he actually expects a response
>I nod and let out a happy whicker
>”Great, now you want to see your friend right?”
>We all nod collectively as he holds the door for us
>Pearl and Hazel are the last through, clearly uncomfortable with the idea of going into another lab
>Sunrise gives them a confident smile and moves that they follow
>The doctor leads us down the hall turning into a room

You know I realized something today, in Cuddly Doom if you somehow did manage to keep your mind after being infected you'd be even worse off than if you didn't. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm kind of a sore loser, I wouldn't be able to accept the loss of my humanity and I sure as hell wouldn't want anything to do with the ponies who took that from me. At the same time I wouldn't be able to go back to the humans because I'd be contagious and they'd just as likely shoot me. It would be so lonely I'd probably just lay down and wait to die.

>Not doing your best to convince the herd to stop forcing themselves on humans before shit gets too far out of hand.
I fully expect the conclusion of cuddly doom to end in nuclear hellfire if the infection is stay's limited to the US.
Extinction level events tends to make the kid-gloves come off, and the loss of any remaining humans would be far outweighed by the rest of the world being kept safe.
And i'm saying that as a guy that would willingly go get cuddled after leaving a short note for his pony-self.

I honestly don't think this can be contained, Daisy explained in an earlier chapter that once they're done infecting a place the unicorns all teleport to the next location. You can't lock them in or out and I'm sure they could use the same trick in the event of a missile strike. And with the speed of the infection the took out a whole city in less than three days with only two known humans left. Plus in every instance where someone tries to reason with the ponies it hasn't worked out yet, hell they've turned human genocide into a game. And even though I hate them for that I still feel like shit over what happened to Clementine.

So, I had an idea for a green last night I wanted to toy with, so I started this proof of concept one off. Here we go:

>Henry knows he’s made a mistake in coming here.
>When he first arrived, everything seemed so promising.
>The Tabernacle, an underground casino is nothing special, but there was something extra here.
>A new member is given ten thousand dollars at the front with only one stipulation.
>They must make five bets of at least a thousand dollars before leaving.
>Which meant that even if he lost all five bets he could walk out with half that money for free.
>On paper, that’s a steal.
>In practice? Well…
>Henry has lost twenty thousand dollars already.
>Sure, the minimum bet he had to make was a thousand, but that didn’t help much once he sat down at the poker table.
>His initial bet of a thousand quickly rose until he lost five grand on the first hand of poker.
>And from there Henry’s luck did not increase.
>He did manage to win one hand, but that win did not lead into a streak.
>Which has brought Henry to where he is now.
>Five games in and owing ten thousand dollars.
>Now, in a normal casino, he’d have turned his money into chips and once he was out of chips, that was that.
>This casino works like a bar tab.
>One don’t have to pay right away, you don’t even need the money.
>Which means despite you only having ten thousand in your account, Henry could lose far more.
>A detail which Henry happened to overlook at the time.
>But now, the moment he steps out of this place, he’s in debt.
>And debt means interest, monthly payments, and all that fun stuff.
>Henry can’t have that.
>>
>>30761602
>Now, Henry could try his hand at gambling some more to fix his debt.
>The credit based system means he technically could gamble indefinitely.
>But at the same time he could just simply dig his hole even deeper.
>His worries growing, Henry walked around the casino floor.
>Men in suits smoked on cigars lazily as people in more casual wear are playing the games.
>It’s strange, one normally would think a place like this would be a place where the more wealthy business type would play.
>What with the high prices and all.
>Henry walks up to a man sitting over at the slot machines.
>His eyes are bloodshot with bags under them.
>His hair is a mess and he’s all around unkempt.
“Hey, are you okay?”
>The man starts the slots up again, not even looking at you.
>”A-am I okay?” he asks weakly.
>The three wheels stop on seven, cherries, seven.
>”No, I’m not.”
>His voice feels hollow and weak.
>”I’ve… I’ve been here for… days… I can’t leave…”
“Why not?”
>He turns around to face Henry, his body shaking with either rage or fear.
>”I can’t go home with this debt, I can’t! I need to get lucky… I… I…”
>A man in a suit sits up, looking over at the two of them.
>The haggard man instantly turns back around, mumbling.
>”I… I just really want to keep playing…”
>A deep, overwhelming despair begins to bubble up in Henry.
>He’s not going to wind up like this, is he?
>There has to be another way.
>>
>>30761616
>After some looking around, Henry’s desperation has reached a fever pitch.
>Coming here was wrong, he should have just stuck to playing dime poker with his friends.
>He’d give back all that money if he could.
>But that’s not an option anymore, is it?
>With his tail proverbially between his legs, he sulked up towards the receptionist who he talked who when he first arrived.
>”How may I help you?” she asks with a sickeningly sweet smile.
“I… I don’t think I can pay back what I owe…”
>She nods, looking down at her little podium.
>”You’re in luck sir, I believe our high stakes table has an opening!”
“No, no, I don’t want to gamble anymore…”
>She shakes her head, giggling.
>”This isn’t normal gambling sir, this is one of our most popular attractions!”
“S-so?”
>”The spectators pay good money to watch this. So, to encourage players to join we wipe out their debts.”
“Only to play more and owe more money, right?”
>”No, no, the high stakes table doesn’t gamble with just money. In fact, many play without ever wagering a cent!”
>Henry thinks back to the man slaving over those slots.
“How come a lot of people aren’t taking this option?”
>”Embarrassment. After all, who wants to admit to a casino they’re deep in the red? It takes guts, so only those who ask can be considered for the high risk table.”
“And… I don’t have to bet any money?”
>”Not a cent sir.”
“Sure, let’s try it…”
>”Excellent, now just follow me!”
>>
>>30761623
>He follows her into a back room.
>Most on the casino floor hardly even notice him disappearing.
>Save for the few suited men who trail behind.
>After walking down a long hallway, Henry finds himself looking down on a large blackjack table.
>There are studio lights set up, illuminating the whole thing as if it were on television.
>But that’s not the strangest part.
>The dealer sitting at the table is no human.
>They’re a small… horse?
>Saffron colored fur with a dark black coat, a horn protruding from their head.
“Wh-what is that?”
>The woman giggles slightly, stopping to let you gawk for a moment.
>”That’s Lady Luck, she used to be a regular here, but turns out she’s quite the card shark. We just had to have her work this table.”
“But… that’s a horse.”
>”A pony actually, she prefers pony.” the woman corrects.
“Right…”
>Henry feels as if he’s stepped into a dream.
>A horse dealing blackjack in the back of a casino?
>This is insane.
>Noticing his apprehension, the woman puts a hand on his shoulder.
>”I know this is strange, but the high risk table is the best way to absolve your debt.”
>Gulping, he nods.
>>
>>30761642
>In the time it took him to be lead to the table, a few others have been brought in.
>In total there are four other players at the table.
>Once seated, Henry can’t help but stare at the pony.
>She’s levitating a deck of cards, bridge shuffling them in mid air with a grin on her face.
>This has to be some kind of special effect.
>Like a puppet or animatronic.
>And the cards are… mirrors?
>Magnets?
>His conspiracy theories are quickly cut off though.
>”Oh! Everyone is here? Great!” exclaims the pony as she sets down the deck.
>There’s a mixed reaction from everybody at the table.
>Some seem eager, others far more apprehensive.
>”Well, I’m Lady Luck, and I’ll be your dealer this evening! Of all the special games we offer, I’m elated that you all chose to play at my table!”
>Her ear twitches a bit as she stops talking.
>There’s an earpiece clipped on to it.
>”Oh, I mean, I’m glad you all decided to participate in our debt recovery program!”
>She giggles softly as Henry is left to ponder what she meant by “special games.”
>”Anywho, we’ve got to play a game and then everybody can go home happy with all their money~!”
>A screen behind the pony lights up, revealing a list of sorts.
>”Tonight we shall be playing a fan favorite game: Middle Man! I would appreciate it if you all took this moment to read over the rules!” says the horse, pointing her hoof at the screen.
>Henry, still weirded out by everything going on, reads the screen’s list.
>>
>>30761657
>Middle Man: A Game of Being Insignificant!
>The goal of Middle Man is simple, to have the least points by the end of the game.
>One gains a point by having played either the lowest or highest face value card.
>Each round consists of a player playing a card from their hand face down, then revealing their cards once all have decided.
>The three players in the middle of the range of card values receive not points.
>Each player has been given the cards two through ten, and only one copy of each.
>If a player earns a point in a round, they may draw a card from the dealer’s deck.
>Cards in the dealer’s deck can be any card, including a face card or Joker.
>A Joker gives every other player a point the round it is played.
>If there is a tie for highest or lowest, both players receive that point.
>Best of luck!
>>
>>30761675
>Henry isn’t sure what to make of the game.
>It feels overly simple to be played at a casino, there has to be some sort of catch.
>There is some strategy, if one can keep track of high value cards already played or not played, they can play around it.
>But then again, the dealer’s deck throws a wrench in that, doesn’t it?
>Those cards can be anything and are impossible to count.
>Not that Henry wholly minds that, he knows that he won’t be counting cards and having opponents be able to is worrisome.
>The real question is, why would this be an attraction people pay good money to watch?
>Looking around, Henry sees no seating, let alone spectators.
>He thinks back, remembering how the hallway above had a window…
>Sure enough, there’s several suited men watching from above.
>Shuddering, he faces forward once again.
>”Everybody ready to begin?” asks Lady Luck.
>All the players slowly agree.
>Clapping her hooves together, the horse’s horn begins to glow as cards fly around, landing in front of all the players.
>That’s probably the weirdest dealing Henry’s seen.
>But everything about tonight is his weirdest gambling experience, so he’s not even fazed anymore.
>”Everybody got their hand? Great! Let’s start round one! You have thirty seconds to choose your card!”
>Henry thinks for a moment.
>Nobody wants to get a point, and with so many cards in hand, there’s not a lot of wiggle room.
>So, instead of getting rid of his middle cards this round, he can drop a higher or lower one.
>Feeling confident, Henry slams down his ten, just to get rid of it.
>>
>>30761687
>The cards played this round are: two fives, a two, and your ten.
>”Henry and George you both get a point! Sorry!” exclaims Lady Luck.
>A scoreboard appears on the screen, a big “1” next to Henry’s name.
>As that happens, his ears suddenly feel odd, as if they’re being pushed on by some unknown force.
>Wincing, Henry instinctively grabs them.
>They’re softer than before, covered in hairs.
>Within moments he feels them slowly shift upward finding themselves atop his head.
>Looking over at another man at the table, he sees equine ears twitching on his head.
>Henry tries to convince himself that his ears are different, but he certainly doesn’t feel like it.
“Wh-what the hell is this?!”
>Lady Luck giggles, leaning in.
>”Did I forget to mention? Every point will turn you more and more into a pony like me! So, if you aren’t into that, I’d play carefully from now on!”
>”Wh-what the fuck? Fix my damn ears!” shouts the man you assume Is George.
>”The person with the lowest point total will have his changes reversed if he so chooses, everybody else however is stuck with what they’ve been given!” Luck retorts.
>Henry looks around, still touching his fuzzy ears.
>Is this why people are watching?
>And… if this is only one of their “special games…”
>He shudders, not even wanting to know what else may be here.
>Right now, he just needs to focus on winning.

And that's it so far! I intended this to all be a single one off, but decided to split it in half to put some content up and gauge interest. Be sure to tell me what you think so far, and if you'd like to see more of Henry's story, and a longer, multi-part green in the future.

Alright, so I didn't expect to finish the rest of this tonight, but I did. So much for needing to split it into parts.

>Lady Luck tosses Henry and George another card, a part of the rules to this no longer simple game.
>Still shaken, Henry slowly picks up the card and adds it to his hand.
>Joker.
>Thinking back to the rules, he feels a slight bit of relief.
>This card basically negates a turn and gives everyone else a point.
>A part of him wants to save it, but the more he thinks about it, the more he wants to use it now.
>Right now everybody is going to be using their good cards to avoid points, especially knowing the stakes.
>So, instead of burning one his fives or fours now, he can use this.
>It’ll bring him into a four way tie for second and push George to two points.
>He might feel bad if he actually knew anybody here, but right now all he knows is that he needs to fix his ears.
>”And now for round two!” exclaims Lady Luck.
>The timer once again starts back up, quickly ticking down.
>Henry wastes no time placing his Joker down.
>The cards revealed are Five, six, three, four, and Joker.
>The others at the table wince as their ears become large and technicolor.
>George swears loudly as a long tail rips from behind him, swishing back and forth slowly.
>”You son of a bitch!” yells George, slamming on the table with his fist.
>In this moment Henry is easily the least liked person amongst those playing.
>But, lucky for him, directly attacking other players is not an option.
>Lady Luck deals cards out to the other four players, a smile still plastered on her face.
>”Round three, here we go!”
>>
>>30764239
>Henry plays a four, not sure what else to go with at the moment.
>Everybody is looking at each other warily, not trusting anybody for even a moment.
>Two rounds in and everybody already is at each others throats.
>After all, only one person gets to fix their body at the end of this.
>After the timer is up, Lady Luck frowns for the first time.
>”George, you forgot to play your card!”
>He stares at the pony indignantly, his cards sitting on the edge of the table.
>”Fuck you, I’m not playing your stupid game!” he bellows.
>Lady Luck winces at being yelled at, but manages to hold her composure.
>”Well, that’s just not an option George! You came to my table to absolve your debt, and this is how you do it!” she replies.
>”Fuck off you horse!”
>”Very well, I suppose I shall play for you by proxy.” she says, flatly, floating his cards over to her.
>With a smirk, she plays a card in front of him, flipping it over.
>A ten.
>”Oh my George! An interesting play~!”
>The cards on the table are George’s ten, Henry’s four, a three, a six, and another four.
>George winces as a sharp ripping noise is heard.
>Upon looking under the table, Henry notices George’s feet have become lavender color hooves.
>The man on the far end of the table has grown a tail as well, according to the point totals, his name is Paul.
>The look in George’s eyes is a mix of rage and terror.
>”You bitch! You played my highest card!” he yells.
>”Highest? I dunno, this ace you just drew seems pretty high!” she teases.
>With that, he jumps forward, lunging at Lady Luck.
>”Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
>>
>>30764246
>His attack however does not go nearly as well as he had hoped.
>Lady Luck’s horn glows instantly, sending him flying.
>He crashes into the wall with a loud crack, leaving him crumpled on the ground.
>”I am so sorry about that!” Lady Luck insists, talking more to the other players and viewers than the man she just threw.
>Henry is awe struck, staring at George with wide eyes.
>”As much as we wish George would play with us, his actions are grounds to eject him from the game, but don’t worry, you’ll still have scored rather high George!”
>With a sickening amount of glee, Lady Luck gestures to the board, where the number next to George’s name has become a ten.
>In that brief moment, George has been carted off, for when Henry turned back to look at him, he was gone.
>”I hope you four aren’t too startled, I know that was a lot of commotion for your sensitive new ears!”
>She quickly shuffles his cards into her deck, and stretches.
>”Before we get back into the game, does anybody have any questions?” she asks.
“Um… yeah…”
>Looking over at Henry, she rests her head on a hoof.
>”And that is~?”
“H-how many rounds are there?”
>She giggles a little.
>”Oh, that’s the beauty of Middle Man! It only goes until only one person is below ten points!”
>Henry gulps upon hearing that.
>What she’s saying is that everybody who loses is going to lose totally.
>If ten is the cap, that means ten points and you’re a pony.
>He thinks back to George for a moment, feeling a little bad for the guy.
>”No more questions? Great, on to the next round!”
>>
>>30764252
>The game carries on uneventfully for a bit.
>Henry’s short lucky streak was quickly ended as he found himself growing a flowing tail.
>Looking back, it was a soft, bubblegum pink.
>Great, just great.
>Thankfully the game seemed awfully balanced for the most part, Henry never pulled ahead in points for too long.
>He was the last player to feel his feet mush and reform into solid hooves, but he was the first one to notice fur growing all over his body.
>Pink fur.
>Needless to say Henry’s motivation to win grew tenfold.
>The tingling sensation of hairs growing at such an intense rate rattled him, but he knew that he’d have to keep going.
>If he could just win, all of this would go away.
>Not only his debt, but all of these strange horse parts.
>Lady Luck sure isn’t helping his nerves.
>”You know, based on your colors, you’d swear we included some gender changing aspect to the game!” she sneers as she slid you a card.
“Whatever…”
>”Don’t worry though, you’ll still be a male! We can’t have just mares running around.”
>That statement made Henry wonder.
>Just how often is this game played?
>It’s scary to think about.
>A part of him wants to talk with the others about it, but he knows that would be futile.
>This is no game, it’s a battle.
>And there’s no room for friendliness in battle.
>>
>>30764262
>Paul is the first among the players to really start slipping.
>While the game favors a more balanced spread of point increase, Paul seemingly began to lose every round.
>It doesn’t take long for his points to rise up, more and more of his body changing.
>His button up shirt looks loose on his body, his left hand is a useless hoof, and his hair is a long, chestnut mane.
>Not to mention the fur covering his body.
>While everybody has only just begun to noticeably grow fur and mane, Paul’s other hand too falls to the game.
>Lady Luck however has an easy solution for this.
>Paul’s cards are put in a little stand, and he can push them out with a hoof.
>Lady Luck can use her magic to help do it neatly.
>This however does nothing to improve his loosing streak.
>Which is good for everybody else, Paul almost always has the high card.
>It seems that in the early game he played through most of his small cards, which even then didn’t always help.
>Because for the past couple turns he has not played a card lower than a six.
>Henry is not too far behind him, his left hand being the second to become cloven.
>But by then, Paul is already at nine points.
>When everybody else usually gets one point every two to three turns, and Paul gets one every turn, it’s a recipe for disaster.
>Yet Paul never once complains, he sits there silently, his face the last remarkably human thing left to him.
>But, as he reveals his first low card in rounds, a four, that too is lost.
>The cards are a four, six, eight, and king.
>Meaning he has finally hit ten points.
>With a sharp gasp, his face pushes out into an equine muzzle.
>He teeters around in his seat, confused and dizzy.
>In that moment, a few people come up, carrying him out of the room.
>>
>>30764270
>Henry looks up at the scoreboard nervously, rubbing his hoof.
>The totals are seven, six, and seven now.
>Three more points and he’s just like that.
>Thinking back to Paul’s changes, next he’ll lose his right hand.
>Then he’ll shrink down to the size of a pony in full, along with his coat finishing growing in.
>Then the head.
>The past several rounds have consisted of slow but subtle changes, more fur, legs bending differently, stuff like that.
>But now the next ones are all drastic.
>Lady Luck starts the round and Henry shakily chooses a six he drew recently.
>Only one person escapes a round without a point now.
>And this round, that honor goes to Henry.
>His remaining opponents grimace as their changes run their course, the stand once being used for Paul now being slid over to Martin.
>Seven, seven, and eight.
>The next round sees Henry play the lowest card.
>His eyes shoot open wide as he watches his fingers lose any form, melding together into a hard hoof.
>A little stand is brought over to him as well, his cards put into it by some unknown assistant.
>Eight, eight, and eight.
>Henry loses the next round as well.
>His spine cracks as his now small body realigns itself.
>A thought occurs to Henry as this happens.
>He may never walk on two legs again.
>Nine, eight, nine.
>One more loss and it’s over.
>The game will only last two more rounds at most.
>>
>>30764276
>Martin and Henry are both on the brink.
>Both know that one of them will lose next turn.
>Martin leans in, looking at Henry.
>”Hey, this is all kinds of fucked, isn’t it?”
>Henry nods, gulping.
”The odds are pretty shitty for us.”
>”Ain’t that the truth… say, how good are your cards right now?”
>Henry looks his over, shaking a little.
>He has a two, a three, and a seven.
“Alright, I guess, how about yours?”
>”Awful. I managed mine like shit. I’ve only got high end stuff right now.”
>Henry’s ears twitch slightly upon hearing this.
>Did he really spill that information?
>Or is he trying to throw Henry off?
>This is the first small talk all night and Henry wishes it never happened.
>It’s only confusing him more now.
>The player between the two of them doesn’t say a word however.
>He just stares forward at the board.
>He is the only player who can survive this round, he’s got the best position out of anybody.
>Next round, even if he’s at nine points, he goes against…
>Someone else with nine points.
“This is rigged!”
>Lady Luck looks over, concerned.
>”What now?”
“Th-The game! There’s no way anybody can win! If highest and lowest both get a point, then…”
>Martin catches on too, his eyes going wide.
>”Oh, don’t be silly. This game is quite fair! It’s just that our friend George skewed the game by leaving so early. It is a shame!” Lady Luck says, still cheery.
>Henry feels like he’s going to be sick to his stomach, there’s nothing he can do.
>There is no way out.
>That damn George fucked up this game!
>Everybody is going to lose!
>>
>>30764285
>”Alright everybody, this looks like it may very well be the final round, so play your hearts out!” Lady Luck cheers.
>Martin is sobbing softly, his head hung in defeat.
>Henry is shaking, trying to figure out some way out of this.
>David, the player in the middle, however is calm, confidently sliding a card out of the stand.
>Seeing no other option, Henry plays his seven.
>Martin refuses to play anything, leading to Lady Luck taking his turn by proxy.
>She flips his over first, an eight.
>Henry’s heart skips a beat for a moment, he may have a turn left!
>Then he can petition for the game’s rules to change in the final round so there’s a winner.
>That is, until she flips over David’s card.
>Joker.
>That’s when it hits him.
>The game isn’t unbeatable.
>The Joker card.
>If he had just saved that damn Joker!
>Tears begin welling up in Henry’s eyes as both his and Martin’s scores hit ten.
>”Wow! David! What a clutch victory!” Lady Luck compliments, clapping her hooves together.
>”Fix me.” he demands, speaking for the first time.
>As promised, he is quickly returned to his human form, breathing a sharp sigh of relief.
>Meanwhile Henry and David’s faces stretch outward, becoming muzzles.
>Muzzles that will be there forever.
>Shaken, Henry hardly even registers being picked up by a burly man and carted off.
>Just as he hardly registers his slow fade into unconsciousness.
>>
>>30764294
>When Henry comes to, he’s lying naked on the ground.
>Despite the fur covering his body, he can’t help but feel strange.
>Sitting up, he wobbles on his quadrupedal body.
>He’s in a cage, in some dark room.
>After a while, he’s approached by someone.
>It’s the receptionist lady.
>”Are you awake? Oh, excellent!”
“What… do you want…?”
>Henry’s voice is slurred slightly, the sensation of talking with a horse snout all new to him.
>”Well, as you can tell, you lost, and that means you’re a pony now.”
“Yeah, I got that part…”
>”Well, your debt is cleared, but now you are technically an asset of the Tabernacle.”
“Are you saying I’m… property?”
>”In a way yes, but don’t let that discourage you, there are many options for you in-”
“Fuck you! Fuck you and your goddamn casino! I wish I never walked in here!”
>Henry explodes, too angry to think straight.
>”Henry, I must advise you to calm down. Those that misbehave do not get a preferential role…” she says, trying to hush him.
>But he’s having none of that, he keeping screaming at her at the top of his lungs.
>He doesn’t want to be a pink horse, he doesn’t want to be at this casino, he wants to go home!
>Sighing, the woman makes a call on her phone.
>”Yes, I’m afraid he is being belligerent. Oh, you got Martin to calm down? That’s good…”
>She pauses every so often as the other person on the line talks.
>”I know we can’t waste time but… I know… Lewis, have a heart, you know what these poor-”
>She winces, moving the phone away from her ear slightly.
>”I understand, I’ll prep him for the auction immediately. Just… please let me handle the others. Having two be auctioned off tonight is more than enough.”
>>
>>30764306
>She hangs up with a sigh, wiping tears from her eyes.
>”This is your fault you know, I tried to help you.”
“Help me?! You call this helping me?!”
>”Well, it’s certainly a better option than what you have in store for you now.”
“And that is?”
>”We sometimes auction off the rowdy ponies to the audience. Or ponies who volunteer for the auction. You will be sold to the highest bidder.”
>Her voice is soft and distant, the care she was treating him with earlier now gone.
>Regret starts to build up in Henry.
>Perhaps he should have listened.
>He most definitely doesn’t want to get auctioned off.
“H-hey, you should have lead with that! I’ll be good now, I promise!”
>”I wish I could accept that, but Lewis… he doesn’t like taking chances.”
>The woman walks a short bit away, returning with what looks like a pistol.
“Are you g-going to fucking shoot me?!”
>”It’s just a tranquilizer Henry, you’ll be unconscious for three hours, disoriented for another three. Please hold still.”
>His tail goes behind his legs as he whimpers, edging backwards in the cage.
>”Th-thank you for choosing the Tabernacle this fine evening.” she says, her voice catching slightly.
>Closing her eyes, she pulls the trigger.
>Despite Henry moving abruptly at the last moment, the dart still catches his neck.
>Within in moments, he’s fast feeling drowsy.
>He lies down, his eyes feeling oh so heavy.
>Just a little sleep won’t hurt.
>When he wakes up, this nightmare will all be over.
>He’ll be back at home… back in bed…
>”Yes, you can come pick him up. Starting bid will be-”
>Everything will be back to normal…
>And Henry slept.

Henry lost the game, but won a new life as the pet pone
Honestly I'd play to lose if I where in his situation

Hope he ends up in a nice home.

At least have the decency to try to look like you're playing for real and not throwing the game.

This was more to introduce the setting and concept. Henry may show up again, or perhaps never again. All a roll of the dice at this point.

Well the writing isnt autistic, its actually pretty good, and I'm one of those lame anons who always appreciates someone being forcefully transformed, whether it be circumstantial or intentional. Auctioning him off is like icing on the cake. You're checking off almost every box on my checklist, only thing missing was Henry losing his gender, but everything else makes up for it.

All in all this stereotypical ptfg anon has been satisfied.

http://www.strawpoll.me/13749185 Just wondering what people think.

You said there was more Lexi coming soon right? Other stories are good but that would be the best option.

Pls don't leave Lexi out in the cold again.

More Lexi is coming, yes. I'm merely asking what people like. I'm in the middle of a Lexi update right now.

Cardholder? Spacewolfe? Where have you guys got to?

Cardholder posted what he had yesterday, as for Spacewolfe, we'll have to wait and see

I live
Just had to read through the thread first before I posted, got stuck behind two CD updates
>>
>>30771182
>It had all started so simply. I tried to levitate the soap, but stopped when it made my horn feel like it was going to host a bloody coup from my body.
>And it was when I was crouched down, rubbing at the base of my horn in an attempt to soothe that ache, a rogue soap bar bounced off the back of my head.
>When I looked up to see just who had done that, I looked upon madness itself.
>A couple of unicorn hot-shots were trying to levitate their soap, which was resulting in catastrophe.
>Bars were flying everywhere, some were spazzing in place, and no small amount had darted into the offending unicorn’s mouth to give it a good washing.
>And not only that, the pegasi had been learning about how to manipulate things with their wings, which apparently was like trying to use the controls of one of those simulator games to hold a slippery bar of soap.
>Which is to say, anarchy reigned, chaos was law, and bars of soap were set to become the new rulers of the hellscape the showers had become.
>I looked around for somewhere to hide from the sudsy wrath on display, and noticed that the earth ponies were all hunkered together in the corner.
>I started to head over, but noticed that a stream of brown trailing away from them, which must mean they hadn’t had the opportunity to shower off before the great soapening.
>I headed for the opposite corner, just avoiding getting trampled by a pair of pegasi playing an impromptu game of soccer with a stray bar of soap.
>I managed to camp out in the corner, away from the madness on display, and snag a position under a shower head a comfortable distance away from where all the action was taking place.
>I stood under the lukewarm spray, and just watched the madness play out.
>>
>>30771194
>By the time some semblance of order was starting to restore itself, I realized I hadn’t lathered up yet, and looked over at a bar of soap resting in a dish mounted on the wall.
>I stared at it for a moment, and decided that could wait until my magic was back.
>It had been a long fought battle, but by the end, given by the several smashed bars of soap on the ground, it had clearly been a decisive victory in Humanity’s favor.
>Although we were not without casualties, a few ponies had been run over by overzealous pegasi, some were still bruised from stray bars of soap, and a couple of unicorns were still scraping their tongues to try and get the taste of soap out.
>It took a bit of coercing to get the Earth Ponies to unhuddle, but showing them the corpses of the fallen detergent managed to get them to finally move out of their corner.
>It seemed like everything would be alright, the earth ponies were finally managing to get hosed off, the unicorns swore to only use magic in specified areas, and the pegasi swore to stop running around like drunk, blind assholes.
>That is until Snugglebun cut off the water, and started yelling.
>”RECRUITS, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET SISTER PRAISE TO COME DOWN UPON YOU LIKE CELESTIA’S OWN WRATH?”
>A few ponies looked down and started scuffing their hooves against the tile, but most stood impassive.
>She wasn’t there, man, she wasn’t there.
>>
>>30771202
>”You know what, I’ll look the other way this time, new set of hooves and slippery soap often times go together like oil n’ water. Let’s just get you ladies off to the cafeteria, so we can get some food in you before anything else happens.”
>A murmured chorus of “Yes, ma’am” rose up amongst the ponies as they assembled behind Snugglebun.
>Another line, another march, and another round of ogling by the sisters.
>I tried to take note of their identities, but aside from differing coat, mane, and eye colors, they all seemed just about the same to me.
>Which, when it might be possible that they might all be mentally cut from the same cloth, only made things more terrifying.
>I tried to distract myself from that revelation by trying to note any other defences I might have to subvert to make my escape.
>I had remembered spotting guards in the cafeteria, their gold armor making them stand out like sore thumbs.
>It only took a short search but I eventually spotted a few.
>There were a few standing in a few random locations, either positioned to block exits, or get a good view of a hallway.
>The most troubling part about this was that their gold armor might as well have been camouflage, given that it blended in with all the golden Celestia iconography.
>I also had no idea what their capabilities were, but if Sister Praise was any indication, if I ran afoul of one of these guys during my escape, I was in for a bad time.
>Honestly, my only hope would be to either never get spotted, or hope that I had strength of numbers on my side.
>Which would necessitate trying to get my fellow former humans on my side, but given Napoleon’s response of “fuck it” that might just be one hell of an uphill battle.
>>
>>30771215
>As we approached the cafeteria, I guessed I could use the question of Snugglebun’s humanity as a double edged sword.
>If she wasn’t human, then the deception that we were just being trained to function in this bizarre and alien society would be shattered, and I could easily start rallying my fellow humans to escape before they were too brainwashed.
>And if she was…
>Well, I don’t know, it would give a slight bit of credibility to the idea that we weren’t just fresh meat, getting propaganda jammed into our heads while they rend our humanity asunder.
>It would be a hit against trying to rally everyone to escape, but, well, if this wasn’t some kinda death camp for rounding up humans and turning them into card carrying members of Celestia’s faith, then there wasn’t exactly a reason to escape.
>I mean, unless I uncovered another, less obvious plot, I’d probably have to somehow find the nutters willing to escape, while avoiding anyone who’d want to turn in the “dangerous subversive” for a handful of good boy points.
>I managed to shake myself out of my musing just as I reached the counter, and scooped a tray from a stack at the start of the lunch line.
>I looked over at who was serving, and spotted the same grey stallion from before, which was kind of odd, given he was the only stallion I had seen in this place, aside from the guards.
>Which either meant that someone had fucked up their transformation spell, or he was always a pony, or that “he” was just an incredibly butch mare.
>>
>>30771222
>But then again, Snugglebun did mention that Frost had “The hots” for a grey stallion, but I would also believe that she’s the kind of person who would make that mistake.
>”He” didn’t seem much like the talking type as he shoveled some vegetarian glop onto my tray, but that could be because he was holding a ladle in his mouth, which I could easily assume would make talking difficult.
>And what would it even mean if the chef was a pony?
>I mean, it would probably be easier to drug the food if he believed he was doing it to sub-equines, as opposed to a human, who might have complaints.
>As I headed back to the table, the “sub-race” idea fed back into concerns about the guards.
>If there was one thing that repeatedly played out back on Earth, it was when you gave one people an advantage over another, that was when you got things like the Stanford Prison Experiment, or the Holocaust.
>Hell, the former didn’t even last a week, and things had already started to go to shit.
>And if Sister Praise was any indication of the level of cognitive dissonance and sweeping generalization based on species, I’d likely wind up looking like I took the express route down a flight of stairs if I went toe to toe with one of those guards
>I tried to quell the shiver I felt racing down my spine as I sat down at the usual table.
>I hunched down, started to eat the oddly tasty glop, and took stock of the two other groups in the room.
>I remembered seeing them before, but I didn’t do much else but give them a cursory glance.
>Now that I wasn’t just how to figure out how to do something so simple as eat, I had some spare time to actually examine my surroundings.
>The first group was probably sisters, given that they were silently ogling the other ponies, and were mostly hugging each other instead of eating.
>The second was a bit harder to tell.
>>
>>30771225
>I could have easily assumed them to be full blooded ponies, given that they were using their wings, magic, and hooves in a natural, fluid way that I doubt a human could.
>But that would assume that this place would need that many ponies staffing it.
>I had a hunch, and looked over at Snugglebun and tried to take note of how well she could handle herself.
>She had her head down, face first into her food, and was wildly chomping away.
>Ok, well, that wasn’t outside of what I had expected of her.
>Not like they issued utensils here anyways, whether out of them not being useful, or giving possibly dangerous weapons to potential criminals.
>I looked back at the other group, they didn’t have utensils either, but the unicorns were at least using their magic to make things slightly more civilized.
>I mean, they were still shoveling unappealing mush into their mouths, but at least it was better than sticking your face into it.
>So, if a place of this size didn’t need that many staff, and I doubted the meager amount of pilgrims that visited this place could form a group of that size, assuming that they would ever willingly eat here...
>Would that mean that we weren’t the only group of converts here?
>I mean, I knew I wasn’t the first person to get forcefully ponified, and then herded into some kind re-education, but this was kind of the final nail in that particular coffin.
>Especially given that there was a “Anon” that happened to be the forerunner for all this, and that they had enough time to polish their ponification methods.
>The gears started turning in my head as one solved question only led to many more.
>>
>>30771235
>I knew that drinking bleach seemed to be the trigger, but what other kinds of suicide could lead you to this place?
>Did you have to die to wind up here?
>How long has this been going on for?
>Was drinking bleach a one way ticket to this place, or was there some other requirement to wind up in equestria?
>I almost admitted defeat, when I realized I had quite a few people I could ask about this.
>Or, rather, ponies.
>I gave Snugglebun another glance, and noted that she was already done with her food, and was telling some randy joke about how a wizard's staff had a knob at the end, or something.
>I remembered the first question I had drafted up to ask to Snugglebun, and gave Operation: Small Talk a go.
“Hey, uh, Snugglebun, you ever watch any good TV shows, you know, back on earth?”
>It was a bit of a gamble, given that I didn’t watch all that much television, but I was hoping at least one person had watched some TV before offing themselves and could suss out if Snugglebun was lying or not.
>”Yeah, uh, it’s been awhile… I mean, I think some of the last stuff I managed to catch was the finale of season two of horse show”
“Season two of what?”
>”Y’know, My Little Pony?”
>Well, I think that was kind of expected, but isn’t it going onto it’s sixth or seventh season?
“Last stuff you managed to catch? What, before your cable got disconnected or something?”
>”Last stuff I managed to catch before I died.”
>Oh, right.
>The whole suicide thing.
>>
>>30771245
>The table went silent as everyone either remembered the price they had to pay to get here, or realized that Snugglebun wasn’t exactly new to this whole “being a horse” thing.
“But wait, wasn’t season two like, years ago?”
>”Yeah, probably.”
“Just how long have you been here?”
>”Four, maybe five years?”
>Saying that it was a bit of a shock that Snugglebun had been stuck here for years would have been an understatement.
>I mean, I was expecting to be out of this place in maybe a couple of months, but a year, not to mention a couple of years?
>”If it’s been that long, why are you still here?”
>I looked over at the pony that had spoken up, it seemed like I wasn’t the only one who was curious.
>”Well, I mean, it’s either teach you newfags how to fly, and maybe do some nifty inquisition work on the side, or get stuck with some boring shit, like delivering letters or kicking clouds.”
>As Snugglebun made a disgusted face at the thought of doing menial labor, I tried to factor how likely it was that Snugglebun was human.
>I mean, the dumb name sounded like something someone would pull out of their ass to try to fit into pony society, and the crude language was either was either due to trying to fit in with the “crude” humans, or, well, being made from a crude human.
>Either Snugglebun was a tactical genius, or just a regular ol’ idiot.
>>
>>30771261
>Christ, trying to figure out what was popular was hard enough, but trying to figure out what was popular back in 2012?
>Hell, I don’t even think I was drinking age back then.
>And if Snugglebun was a former human, then that meant that the inquisition had been around for just as long, if not longer.
>I looked over as I caught Snugglebun standing up out of the corner of my eye.
>”Welp, that’s about enough show and tell for today, I think. How ‘bout we all get off to Sister Praise’s before she kicks my reaming up to 11.”
>Everyone gathered at the table gave a sigh of despair as we realize we were about to be sent back into the breach.
>Well, class was probably going to suck if yesterday was any indication, but still, there was a faint glimmer of hope to be had.
>I just had to hope that Sister Praise wasn’t the kind of “teacher” who saw inquisitive minds as the kind that looked for flaws in an ideology.
>I was sweating bullets as the line formed behind Snugglebun and started heading into the hallway.
>I could already feel my mental corkboard being filled with pictures and twine, desperately trying to map the conspiracy I was sure I had only scratched the surface of.
>Time seemed to be flying by as we traveled the short distance from the cafeteria to the classroom.
>Seeing that doorway only filled me with a strange mixture of anticipation and dread.
>Would I be too greedy if I asked Sister Praise about the inquisition?
>Hell, would she even accept questions instead of just giving me a smack around the ears with her ruler?
>I could already see the disturbingly pink Sister mindlessly wandering in my mind, a grim reminder of the price of failure.
>>
>>30771277
>As I walked into the classroom, I couldn’t stop, any hesitation might be seen as sedition.
>I headed over to my seat and sat down, noting that Sister Praise was already in position at the front of the class.
>I couldn’t look her in the eyes, and my nerves were almost making me vibrate in my seat.
>In the back of my mind, I vainly wished that I could just vibrate out of this reality, back to my shitty apartment, back to my shitty computer where I could shitpost to my heart’s content and just imagine that this shit never happened.
>”Good evening class.”
>A couple dozen tongues gave a robotic, monotonous reply that had only took the barest fraction of yesterday’s lesson to drill into us.
>”Today we will be learning about a very important topic.”
>Sister praise walked up to the chalkboard, and tugged down on what was either a projector screen, or a blind, and revealed what was written behind it.
>I looked up at the chalk letters, expecting another round of rote memorization of propaganda, but what I saw there made my breath hitch in my throat.
>Twenty-one letters, two words, and something I knew that nobody expected.

But who in their right mind would believe that? I mean, it's just an old mare's tale.

Okay, amend the question so that if you have a cutie mark it's one to which you are suited.
Is the journey of earning the cutie mark starting from blankflank status worthwhile? Does it validate your transformation into the pony? Or do you take the shortcut.
>>
What about bugpones though? Not them transforming, transforming into them

>Is the journey of earning the cutie mark starting from blankflank status worthwhile?
I would think so, after all finding and earning you cutie mark is an important part in the development of a pony. It's a shared cultural experience that they all go through. Earning and working for something makes it infinitely more valuable than something that's just given to you.

>With a crisp snap of nitrile rubber, I retrieved two pairs of gloves from my EMT pouch, handing one pair to Peter before ensuring that my own fingers were armored against nearby ponies
>A pair of nods from myself and Peter signified that we had reached the juncture from which it was crucial to maintain silence, lest the ponies hear us upon opening the door
>Peter’s flashlight swung toward the door leading out of the side room, and before I knew it, his hand was rolling the door’s handle and beginning to gently nudge it open
>Intermittent shots of adrenaline surged through my bloodstream and my grip tightened around the pistol as a slender vertical crack of darkness came into view
>Shit, he DID say that this door went to a lab room, right? Not that hallway with all the ponies?
>Despite my frayed nerves tensing up, the prospect of such a ruinous misunderstanding soon subsided as the dim engineering laboratory came into view
>Its tables were well-stocked with bins and strange machines of obscure purpose, but as white light spilled over the menagerie, thankfully no shapes featured eagerly twitching tails
>Near the room’s far corner, a low metallic din rang out as several addled voices pierced through a door, the dense barricade afforded by soundly locked steel
>My breath caught in my throat as a pair of sharp, hooved knocked echoed from the door, followed by the disembodied voices of a mare and stallion somewhere beyond
>>
>>30779516
>“Come out, James… We know you’re in there… We’ve got some carrots out here just for y-”
>“Emerald, are you an idiot? He’s not a pony yet, he’s not gonna want-”
>“Well, hayseed, what should I say, then? Bacon, ham?”
>“Yeah, we’ll try ‘bacon’ on the next one”
>A slow rhythm of hoofbeats broadcast their voyage to another door a bit further down the corridor, the journey finally demarcated by a distantly muted pair of knocks
>“James, come on out… We know you’re in there… If you’re hungry, we’ve got some bacon out here just for you…”
>I let out a soft, anxious exhale as Peter’s hand tenderly rubbed my shoulders, trying to subdue my concerns about fact that certain doom was only twenty feet away
>The ponies didn’t know exactly which room we were in… but they were on the right track to narrowing it down…
>As all but one of Peter’s fingers folded into a firmly pointing gesture, my gaze followed his direction and landed on an unassuming door a few feet away along the room’s rear wall
>Upon approaching it and lowering my hand toward the knob, I drew in a long, deep breath, considering Peter himself didn’t know where this infernal postern led
>It could be a hallway full of ponies, it could be a portal to a dimension where humanity turns ponies into people by hugging them – there was only one way to know my ultimate fate for sure
>The pistol was the first thing through the aperture as the door slid open with a faint, traitorous squeak, the flashlight’s radiance cascading into what appeared to be an unfurnished office
>As my feet landed softly on the bed of tightly knit carpet underfoot, the circle of artificial light illuminating the room’s barren walls wavered wildly with Peter’s insistent gestures
>>
>>30779522
>After taking the flashlight from his outstretched hand, the last I saw of him was a thumbs-up bracketed by his remarkably sanguine expression, the door’s latch soon clicking behind me
>A second soft click announced the moment at which I was effectively locked out with the ponies, and without any backup to save me from the vengeful likes of Clementine Breeze
>Still, it was a necessary risk if it meant Peter wouldn’t hurt, or for that matter, know about, my half-transformed friend…
>Light danced in the empty room, illuminating a second door ahead of me as it mingled with feeble yellow daylight, the weak glare slithering along the floor through cracks in the doorframe
>When I pressed my ear against the fine veneer adorning the exit, my optimism faltered as a pair of stallion’s voices bounced down the length of what I presumed to be another hallway
>“-ust need to try something else!”
>“Melody, get back here, we’re supposed to be watching this hallway! Daisy said-”
>“Daisy said this, Daisy said that! Daisy said we were doing this to make sure nopony else got hurt!”
>“She’s doing her best with what she thought she knew! James himself said to Cobalt that he didn’t have any weapons – you never know when humans are lying!”
>“Whatever, just don’t ever trust those buzzards! Now, given how good she was at befriending them, let’s wake up Clementine and get on with this”
>“Melody, she’s… she’s not…”
>“Don’t say it! She’s just… she’s… stop saying that! I don’t want to hear it!”
>I held my breath as I unlocked the hallway door and cracked it open just enough to stick my head out, flinching as the ponies’ harried voices resonated with renewed volume
>Thankfully, as the pistol nervously wavered in the lower corner of my vision, it found no targets cognizant of my presence, as each of the voices’ owners was thoroughly preoccupied
>>
>>30779531
>An imposing arrangement of marble steps came into focus at the corridor’s end, immediately adjacent to an open utility door from which the a few strands of a short, blue tail protruded
>“Don’t be silly, why shouldn’t we be doing what Daisy told us to?! She’s been a pony far longer than any of us have!”
>“Well maybe so, but her plan hasn’t been working!”
>As I stealthily crept onto the tile lining the hall, I gently shut the office door behind me and took note of its number among the banks of office doors that had come rushing back to memory
>This was the formerly vacant hallway that had shielded me from rain and assured ponydom last night, and as I thought back, my attention swung to the machine shop door a few yards away
>I’m coming back, Snowfall… I said I would…
>Closing the distance to the machine shop’s door seemed to take an eternity, but as the stallion’s mournful, yet angry, arguing bounced around the corner, I found my footfalls well-covered
>With a pair of clicks, a firm yank, and a few hasty, metallic footsteps, my contribution to the symphony was complete
>I smiled and slowed my breathing, much as an accomplished solo trumpeter would do upon setting down his horn and reflecting on how he, and he alone, had completed an arduous piece
>Moreover, as I slumped against the machine shop’s door and peered out over the rows of abandoned machines, I acknowledged that I was in once piece… I’d made it…
>Snowfall, despite having been asleep in a dim corner, flicked her ears at the new visitor as her eyelids fluttered open, revealing a pair of groggy, pale blue irises
>After giving her head a couple of vigorous shakes, she sat up on her thoroughly ponified haunches and peered up at me, a few fleeting rays of daylight glimmering off her cheery grin
>>
>>30779542
>Her hands – or rather, the appendages that were visibly well on their way to becoming forehooves – eagerly tapped the concrete floor as she sat in place, her tail wagging enthusiastically
>“James!”
“Hi Snowfall. Glad to see you’re still in good spirits”
>“I missed you! Oh, I’m so happy you came back…”
>I presented the most genuine smile I could summon, but as Snowfall’s ears drooped slightly, almost imperceptibly, I couldn’t tell whether she saw through to my inner turmoil
>She craned her neck to get a better look at the shimmering metal of the pistol and flashlight, but I tucked them into the back of my waistband and pocket before her perusal bore fruit
>Once I paced toward the top of the ladder-stairs hybrid that had precipitated our time apart, I sank into a seated position on the top step and shot Snowfall an amicable smile
>As she awkwardly rose to her feet and stood upright in a corner of the machine shop, an abrupt shift in balance prompted her to steady herself against a modest stack of nearby boxes
>Instinctive twitches of her tail sought to steady her, but considering the recently formed appendage was still as much bone and muscle as it was hair, its full effect remained unrealized
>Her creaking vestiges of what could barely be described as feet shuddered under her weight, and despite attempts to keep them tucked neatly into her shoes, the rubber soles floundered
>Within a few seconds, one shoe had slid off of its own volition, before the other was emphatically kicked away and disappeared into the shadowy void beneath a forsaken table saw
>Snowfall’s blissful, primal sighs echoed through the tranquil room as she lifted and flexed her newly forming hooves, the thick bands of keratin gilded with dainty fetlocks of turquoise fur
>>
>>30779549
>While she continued to steady herself against the various machines lining the aisle, her hooves heralded her shaky but steady approach to the base of the stairs
>I wasn’t surprised by the fact that she was happily taking a seat before me, but as she flicked her well-formed tail out of the way and rested on her haunches, I felt unsettled by the sight
>She was… she was even sitting like a pony now…
>“James, I… I know it looks like I’m further along than I was when you left… I haven’t cuddled with anypony else… It just kept progressing on its own… I… I-I’m sorry…”
>She was still faintly smiling, but as she averted her shimmering eyes to the floor, I could perceive quite clearly that her smile was quivering with dismay
“I was about to ask about that… but it’s just you here?”
>“Yes… Oh, James, please believe me… I’ve been trying to stay perfectly still – maybe it’s fast blood flow that speeds up the infection but I… I don’t know how to stop it…”
“Snowfall, you didn’t do anything wrong, nothing at all… please don’t think I’m mad at you…”
>Mad? Definitely not…
>She was doing everything in her power to hold off the infection, and was dealing with her missing feet and newfound tail and hooves like a champ
>Worried? Absolutely, and then some…
>When I realized that the infection was pretty much spread by direct contact with the ponies, I’d arrived at the conclusion that if you could escape the ponies, you were home free…
>I’d desperately wanted to believe, unless you were in contact with a pony or half-transformed pony, things wouldn’t get any worse…
>But I guess, if you ARE a half-transformed pony, you’re ‘always in contact with yourself,’ even if it may not be as fast and pronounced as it is when two ponies cuddle…
>>
>>30779553
>The more I peered over Snowfall’s rapidly devolving body, the more I became intimately aware of the grim reality of her situation
>Her pants sagged around her waist, allowing her short – yet steadily, almost noticeably, growing – tail to spill over what would’ve previously been a thick denim barrier
>Long strands of coarse white mane lay siege to the final pieces of darkly-colored hair atop her head, rendering years of haircuts inconsequential as it cascaded around her long, sharp horn
>Even Snowfall’s lukewarm expression had begun falling prey to the changes as a muted turquoise tone bathed her markedly feminine features, a muzzle just beginning to form
>“I’m still me in my head. I know my name was Alexander, and I was a student with you at Carmine, and that we’ve been best friends. I just hope ponydom never takes away that last part”
“I hope so too, Snowfall… You’ve always been my best friend, always and forever”
>She smiled, but with a distant gaze angled toward the floor, her middle finger idly poking at a small crack in the concrete using a chunk of turquoise keratin that had once been a fingernail
>“James, do you think, when it comes down to it, maybe you and I could still get along even if I can’t stop this infection?”
“Of course, Snowfall. I… I’d like to think you’re no different than the person I befriended years ago… That you’ll never change even in this new body…”
>Snowfall, with her mouth buried in her chest and all the fluffy fur that had begun to adorn it, softly mumbled something under her breath
“What was that? I couldn’t quite hear you”
>I raised a couple fingers to my ear, turning my head slightly in hopes of catching her words more clearly
>“S… hmm… wa… hmm hmm… frai… me…”
“Snowfall, I…”
>>
>>30779561
>After my voice faded into the calm air of the machine shop, I stood up on the steps, gently rolled my head with a slight sigh, and descended to the floor, a couple feet to the side of Snowfall
>As she wiped one of her eyes with the base of a slightly furry palm, I reached forward with one of my gloves and tenderly turned her head toward me
“Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it. It’s okay, and I’m here for you. What did you want to ask me?”
>After a quick sniffle, she endeavored to speak up for her poor listener who had not been endowed with the metaphorical radar dishes of equine ears
>“I’m just wondering… James… why are you afraid of me?”
>I recoiled with a furrowed brow as Snowfall’s accusation sent my thoughts in a thousand directions, but I worked hard to extinguish any that sought to paint me as a haplessly innocent victim
“Afraid of you? Snowfall, did I do something to make you think I was afraid of you?”
>“You were sitting on that top step for an awful long time… I don’t know… I thought you were going to, like, throw food down at me like I were some common animal at the zoo…”
“Snowfall… come on, I would never do anything like that… You’re a kind, gentle pony and you deserve so much better than even what meager helpings I have to offer!”
>As if on cue, her stomach meekly grumbled, a startlingly calm sound considering this pony had mostly been without food for the better part of a day, and then some
>Taking a seat next to her, I unzipped my EMT pouch and retrieved the source of the sizable bulge that had been poking into my thigh, the red apple glistening as it caught the dim daylight
>In the two or three seconds it had taken me to retrieve it, Snowfall’s mouth had begun absentmindedly hanging open, with a slender line of drool spilling down her cheek and wetting her fur
>>
>>30779568
>When the apple drifted nearer, her ears perked to attention and she licked her lips hungrily, a brief moment of lucidness returning long enough for her vigilantly sniff the air
>As I loosely gripped the apple in an outstretched hand, Snowfall leaned forward with a voracious desire to grip it in her teeth, and came within inches before pulling back
>The apple had brought the mental battle against her equine tendencies to a head, and, at least in this moment, human manners and a desire to appear ‘proper’ had won
>Not by much, but humanity had won… for now
>With methodical sluggishness, Snowfall steadied herself on her haunches and reached forward with one hand, quickly abandoning the plan as her other hand intently joined
>Once the notably undexterous fingers clamped the apple in their grip, her stomach issued forth another rumble of hunger, voicing its disapproval of her painstaking methods
>A moment later, the apple floated toward her mouth and became clasped between her teeth, the juicy fruit crunching tremendously as Snowfall took a bite and rolled onto her back
>With a gleeful and unabatedly equine whinny, Snowfall voiced her bliss, the delicious treat causing her to fidget with expressed pleasure as she rolled animatedly
>Her hind hooves kicked joyously in the air, their full movement impeded only slightly by the ill-fitting pants that sagged over her legs and rump, nearly demanding their own removal
>Another bite into the apple’s hearty red skin elicited a new gleeful nicker, with the mostly-transformed mare slowing her chewing as she savored the food and turned toward me
>“James, I hope you got one of these for yourself! Oh my stars, these taste amazing as a pony, but even as a human I bet they taste pretty good too! Where’d you find it?”
>>
>>30779580
“That good, huh? Well, I’ll have to keep that in mind. I wish I’d asked him where he got them”
>“Hmph hmph”
>Snowfall’s eyes became wide and inquisitive and she plucked the apple from her mouth before attempting to speak again
>“Who’s this ‘him?’ There’s no way you would’ve gotten a stallion to barter with you… I don’t believe that for half a second…”
>I couldn’t stifle my chuckle, as the very notion of doing business with any pony except Snowfall – and maybe Sky Meadows – would’ve been mired by far too much perceived criminality
“No, there’s another human out there, if you would believe it”
>Even though Snowfall was licking her lips almost constantly to stave off saliva and thought of the apple beside her, she sat up in a state of shock
>“No way… That’s almost less believable… he’s fully human? No hooves, ears, tail? Not an equine hair on his head?”
“Not a single one. I was as amazed by him as you are now”
>Snowfall stared forward, blinking rapidly as she processed the ramifications of having someone else who would understand her best friend’s plight and desire to not be ponified
>“James, that’s… astonishing… I thought I heard a few ponies mulling about upstairs, but if you mentioned I’m down here and could bring him here, by all means, I’d like to meet this guy”
“You’re just saying that because you want him to give you more apples”
>“Hey, don’t be silly, that’s a plus, but it’s not the only reason!”
“Ah, well, all the same, it’d probably be a rather bad idea. He’s got particular qualms about half-transformed humans”
>Snowfall kept a straight face, but it was doublecrossed by a subtle, anxious twitch of her tail
>>
>>30779587
>“Ah, maybe it’s for the best, then. If he went his own, separate way, then I guess we’re back to it being you and me, which isn’t a bad team at all!”
>She grinned, but as she accelerated into the end of her sentence, it was clear that her thoughts weren’t settling well
“Snowfall, I wouldn’t let him hurt you. I made sure he wouldn’t follow me here”
>“Okay… but… what did he… what did he say?”
“He said a lot of things, Snowfall”
>“James, come on! What did he say about half-transformed humans? What did he say about me?”
>With an exasperated sigh, I scratched the back of my neck and tried to clear the errant thoughts from my mind
“Okay, he didn’t say this about YOU specifically, but he said half-transformed humans are… a risk… if you’re still fully human… they can… have a propensity to turn you without them realizing”
>Snowfall forcefully released a long, irritated exhale, feebly flicking the apple away with a turquoise protohoof, as it was apparent that her appetite abruptly eluded her
>The long pauses interrupting my phrasing hadn’t satisfied her, and my idle fidgeting with a fold in my jeans did considerably little to quell her concerns that I was disguising the truth
>“What did he really say, James?”
>I briefly drew in a breath and shut my eyes before responding
“He likened half-transformed humans to… hand grenades that ponies already pulled the pin on. He said a lot, but that was, like, his thesis statement. His bottom line”
>“Surely you don’t believe that though. He sounds like a crazy man by your standards”
“Okay, well, maybe a little bit, but he saved me from a swarm of ponies that would’ve certainly put me through a fate worse than death”
>>
>>30779595
>Snowfall groaned with annoyance and crossed her arms, burying the turquoise of her protohooves in the muscular recesses provided by her armpits
>“Ah… so… becoming a pony is a ‘fate worse than death?’ That’s definitely what your half-transformed, and continuing to transform with each passing minute, ‘best friend’ wants to hear”
“Snowfall, it’s not just about becoming a pony. The herd thinks I killed one of their own – this little Pegasus named Clementine Breeze – and I don’t think they’re just going to let that slide”
>Snowfall’s spine stiffened and she sat up straight as her tail continued its dance of anxious flicks
>“Did you?”
>I ran my fingers through my hair and buried my head in my hands, trying my best not to act too rashly in response to the audacity Snowfall must’ve conjured to simply ask such a question
“Snowfall, you know we’re bounded by a code of doing no harm, and I do my best to always live up to it”
>“Okay, I know, but that wasn’t what I asked. Did you, or did you not, ki-”
“I didn’t kill her! For fuck’s sake, I didn’t kill her! Maybe she had it coming, but I was never, NEVER going to be the one to pull the trigger!”
>Snowfall’s ears twitched with agitation and concern at the sudden outburst, while I became worried that my shouts would pierce through a door that was designed to hold in a din of band saws
>“I’m sorry… I just wanted to know for sure…”
“Snowfall, I didn’t kill her… and I know I’m going to lose sleep over the cries of the ponies that are relearning, in the worst way, what death is…”
>I released a tortured sigh and wiped my brow, chasing away a couple drops of cool sweat
>>
>>30779599
>Snowfall’s pony instincts drove her to hug me the moment a tear commenced its winding path down my cheek, but she halted herself before getting too close
>Still, while such a gesture may have usually been marked by an expression silently denoting compassion, this time it was tainted by a slight tinge of another emotion… fear… worry…
>“I’m sure you did everything you could to save her”
“I haven’t seen her body… I just hope she didn’t have to die in pain…”
>“James, it’s all behind us. You’re not a killer – you’ve never even hurt one… Say it with me. ‘I’ve never hurt a pony’”
>I let out a tremulous exhale before my throat opened enough to comply
“I’ve never… I’ve never hurt a pony”
>“Say it again”
“I’ve never hurt a pony”
>“That’s right. So we’re going to put the memory of this guy behind us, just like a bad dream, and the two of us are going to move forward”
>I wiped my mouth and lower face apprehensively, brushing off a few specks of dried blood that had lingered from when Peter knocked me to the ground rather violently
>As I pushed myself to my feet, I noticed just how sweaty my palms had become, prompting me to attempt cooling myself by rolling up the hoodie’s sleeve, unzipping it, and fanning myself
>Snowfall looked on curiously as my aimless pacing carried me over the concrete floor, my footfalls echoing with irregular, unsteady rhythm as each report echoed among the machinery
>After a few moments, I spied a band saw with a red blade guard and my pacing subsequently became more regular, more directed, more… purposefully determined
>“James, is there something wrong?”

>Peter had been true to his word – nestled in a dimly lit shadow to the machine’s side was a spool of white wire a bit more than a foot in diameter
>Hoisting it from its resting place and brushing away only a few cobwebs, I could tell it was in good condition, and its heft of a few pounds suggested a gauge of respectable quality
>“James, what’s over there? What did you find?”
>Snowfall warily rose to an upright standing positon, struggling to stay there as her hooves repeatedly buckled under her unsupported weight
>The only saving grace she found proved to be the railing to the side of the stairs, followed by a nearby lathe, then the next closest machine, then the next, then the next as she approached
>“What’s that wire for?”
>I tenderly ran my fingers over the wooden spool, momentarily lost in a sea of thought as Snowfall’s hooves continued drawing nearer
“I needed to get this wire. I just… Hopefully you understand”
>“I’m confused… We’re practically starving down here, but you’re enamored by this… wire?”
“Yeah, that’s… that’s right”
>“But why?”
“It’s… It’s not for me… I need to bring it back… to someone else”
>Snowfall hung her head, her long curtain of colorless mane spilling over an expression that must’ve been an epitome of broken dejection
>“Just because he saved you from those ponies doesn’t mean you owe him a damn thing”
“It’s not a feeling of obligation… I just want to make the right choices going forward, and I think he can be helpful. For… for all of us”
>Snowfall leveled her gaze at me, brushing her mane away from the slightly formed pony muzzle protruding from her face, just a bit further than I’d last noticed
>“Can we talk about what you’re doing? And what exactly it is that you have in mind?”
>>
>>30779610
“Yeah, Snowfall, of course we can”
>She shot me a toothy smile, and while social custom prompted me to respond in kind, I couldn’t help but feel unsettled by it
>“Oh, thank you so very much”
>I set the spool on top of the band saw’s table and gave Snowfall my full attention, the diminutive partially-transformed mare standing considerably shorter than me as her clothing sagged
>Despite her small stature, she made herself more imposing not only with the fuzzy ears and fully formed horn protruding from the top of her head, but also with her general demeanor
>As she crossed her arms and leaned unmovingly against a band saw a few yards away, she swiftly converted the lowly abandoned machine shop into an atmosphere of heavy discussion
>“Oh, actually, first, if it isn’t too much of a hassle, could I see your pocketknife real quick? I think it’d be easier to cut that apple you gave me into slices”
>I furrowed my brow for a moment, but it was a harmless request, and after a few moments of fumbling, I drew the folded knife from my waistband and presented it in an outstretched palm
>Snowfall didn’t have much dexterity remaining to pick it up with one hand, but as the patchy turquoise fur of her fingers curled around the cold metal, she at least kept it from dropping
>I could probably have just cut up the apple for her, right? Why wouldn’t she just ask… Wait, hold on, wait... at least I still have…
>Trying to feign a few quick scratches on the small of my back didn’t elude Snowfall, and suddenly, she seemed to know as well as I did that there was a distinct lack of steel at my waistband
>>
>>30779617
>Her muzzle curled into a sickening grin before she tossed the pocketknife through the air, the sides of its handle glinting as it spun and caught a few rays of wandering daylight
>It sailed to the far end of the machine shop, clattering loudly among a heap of unseen metal as it came to rest somewhere in the mechanical void
>Before the clamor had even come to settle, a shimmering noise caught my attention and Snowfall’s horn brilliantly glowed, casting icy blue light over the floor, machines, and my terrified face
>A moment later, my pistol hovered into view from behind her, the former promise of steel salvation rendered as useless as if I’d never had it in the first place
>Snowfall’s eyes had practically glazed over with apathy by the time she telekinetically launched the pistol in a graceful arc toward the room’s stairs
>A cold shiver ran up my spine as it skipped once… twice… three times… and came to rest next to the half-eaten apple at the base of the room’s only exit
>Standing between me and any reasonable hope of escape was Snowfall’s casual smirk
>“Don’t worry, James. I’m just trying to keep you honest”

Cuddly Doom’s final chapter may be underway, but James’ troubles are far, far from over!
As always, the story will continue its Monday/Thursday update schedule on the evening of Thursday August 24th.
It’s my hope that each and every one of you has a positively splendid week! And as always, remember to watch out for ponies!

Heyo, it's Gumo, here with a Lexi update.

>Twilight comes by shortly thereafter.
>She’s got a small picnic basket with her.
>”How are you feeling?”
“Um… better, but I should probably get some sleep, I pulled an all nighter last night.”
>You can’t come up with much better of an excuse off the top of your head.
>”Again? You need to take better care of yourself Lexi…”
>The concern on her face tells you this is a reoccurring issue.
>But as far as you know, this is the first time this has ever come up.
>Whatever has gotten into her mind, it’s potent.
“I’ll keep that in mind, right now I just want to go rest.”
>Nodding, she slides the basket over to you.
>”Just return the basket when you’re done, okay? Feel better soon!”
>And you’re alone again.
>Sighing, you walk off to the small little bedroom in the house.
>It’s nothing special, a bed, a desk, a few odds and ends.
>You flop down onto the bed with a groan.
>Lying down as a horse is awkward to say the least.
>Even though your certain your legs are bending the right way, it doesn’t feel right.
>What the hell are you going to do?
>In this moment, with nobody around and your ideas pretty much exhausted, that question ways heavily on your mind.
>It’s all you can focus on, it’s the only thing you can think about.
>And it hurts.
>Hot tears sting your eyes, threatening to pour out in ugly sobs.
>Going to wipe them off is difficult with your hooves, and the difficultly only makes you want to cry more.
>So you do.
>You cry and cry, burying your face into the pillow.
>>
>>30783871
>During the crying you fell asleep.
>It’s a couple hours later that you wake up, groggily lifting your head up.
>Still a horse head.
>And, as you are now privy to, horse heads still get headaches.
>Your body feels heavy and lethargic as you pull yourself up.
>It occurs to you that you aren’t quite sure how to stretch like this.
>You position yourself in a way similar to “Downward Facing Dog.”
>Your body leans in forward, your back end pushes up slightly.
>After holding for a moment, you hastily straighten yourself back up.
>Thankfully nobody around is here to make “I want to cum inside Lexi” jokes.
>Thoroughly embarrassed, you walk back out into the the main area of the house.
>Shit, the picnic basket.
>Your stomach grumbles as you remember the food you left out.
>Hopefully it’s not anything that would spoil.
>You try opening the basket with your hoof.
>That however proves more ineffective than you would have thought.
>You underestimated the power to grip things before, now you’re swiping the edge of a wicker basket hoping for the best.
>Frustrated, you hit the basket a bit too hard, knocking it over and spilling the contents.
>Oh great, jam.
>Jam and broken glass.
”This is bucking bullshit!”
>Your eyes go wide with a mix of shock and embarrassment.
>There’s no doubt you were thinking of fucking, but it didn’t come out that way.
>Maybe it’s best to focus on cleaning your mess now and how fucked up everything is later.
>>
>>30783877
>Opening a basket is one thing, cleaning up broken glass and jam is another.
>You fucked up hard enough as is on opening something, how the hell are you going to fix this?
>That’s when you remember something.
>There’s a horn on your head.
>Unicorns have magic, telekinesis being an example of that.
>You just need to figure out how.
>Grimacing, you try to focus on a piece of glass, trying to get it to work.
>It can’t be too hard, right?
>But, much to your dismay, you just can’t seem to get it to do anything.
>All you’re succeeding at is making your headache worse.
>You keep pushing however, trying your hardest to cause some movement.
>A shard of glass does seem to twitch slightly, but that’s about it.
“Ugh!”
>You sit down indignantly, a scowl on your face.
>The one upside to this damn body and you can’t figure it out.
>How are you even going to function like this?
>No hands, no telekinesis, no memories related to Lexi…
>Everything has gone to shit.
>Taking a deep breath, you try to calm down.
>This isn’t going to help anything, and it doesn’t feel good either.
>So you might as well just try your best and calm down.
>Deep breathes, in and out, in and out.
>You just sit there with your eyes shut until your headache dissipates.
>That’s something at least.
>Your head feels a lot more clear now, although you still aren’t very happy about this whole thing.
>But this is as solid a start as any.
>>
>>30783882
>Turning back to the mess on your floor, you try to focus on a shard of glass once more.
“Move, move…”
>Nothing.
>You whimper slightly, your whole body tensing up.
>Can’t you just get one thing, one little silver lining in this shit show?
>Just something you can latch on to!
>Miraculously, the shard moves, floating upward at your beckoning.
“O-oh my-”
>The moment your concentration breaks, the shard falls again.
“Buck.”
>Take three goes far better, you manage to keep your focus and move the shard around.
>The more you do it, the more natural it feels.
>However, you don’t exactly want to play around.
>You spend the next few moments cleaning up the place, floating the mess out the window.
>Only because you aren’t sure where the garbage goes here, and the window was right there.
>Moving the basket back over to yourself, you survey the remaining contents.
>Something wrapped in thin paper, paper now covered in jam and an apple.
>Great.
>The soggy paper pretty much points to the contents being inedible, so you aren’t even going to try.
>So instead you settle for the apple.
>It’s not great, but it’s something.
>And at this point, you’ll take anything you can get.
>>
>>30783888
>After your “meal”, you look over at the large shelves of books.
>At first you wonder how Lexi would have ever been able to reach them, before the obvious dawns on you.
>Magic is some potent shit.
>A combination of curiosity and boredom compels you to pull a book down from a shelf.
>”Magic and Me.”
>Paging through, it looks like some kind of guide on spells, simple stuff.
>Probably helpful, but you’re not exactly interested in learning basic spells at the moment.
>You put the book back in its place, a shelf just below eye level.
>Grabbing a few books from nearby places, you find unassuming guides on a multitude of subjects.
>Stuff like “The Principles of Proper Horn Care.”
>Some of these volumes look like they’ve hardly been touched too.
>That’s when you wonder, what’s on the high shelves?
>The top shelf is high enough that you can hardly see it from where you’re sitting.
>You’d need to move back slightly to see it properly.
>The book you grab from up there is much heavier, but surprisingly less dusty than some of the other ones.
>”On the Matters of Channeling Chaos Magics.”
>You blink, looking it over.
>That’s… odd.
>It’s like finding a book on the occult in a public library’s reference section.
>You grab another.
>”An Incomplete History on Discord.”
>Also far less dusty than her lower shelf books.
>Maybe the lower books are simply there for show?
>Because despite these books obviously seeing more use, they’re definitely tucked out of sight.
>For the first time being Lexi, you’re more curious than frustrated.
>>
>>30783895
>Discord.
>The name on the cover is more perplexing than anything.
>Even after Discord’s little reformation, he’s not the most popular guy around.
>A lot of ponies refuse to even mention his name.
>Yet, here’s a book about him.
>You’re fairly certain it’s not required reading for anypony studying magic.
>That coupled with that chaos magic book makes you wonder.
>What has Lexi been up to?
>Twilight mentioned something too come to think of it, but you can’t think of a natural way to press her for info.
>But Discord maybe…
>That’s it!
>Discord is basically a god, he should remember you!
>The only question is… where to find him?
>You could go see Fluttershy, but it’s no guarantee he’d be there.
>And you really want to avoid contact with ponies right now.
>They expect to be speaking with Lexi, and you have no way to emulate that yet.
“Where to find a chaos god…”
>”You ring~?”
>You jump at hearing his voice, looking around frantically.
>He’s nowhere in the room.
>”Down here!”
>You look back at the book, and sure enough, there’s an illustration of Discord on the front.
“Discord! You remember me, don’t you?”
>The illustration moves, scratching its chin.
>”Hm, I dunno, you ponies all look alike to me…”
>Rolling your eyes, you clarify.
“First off, bullshit, secondly, I mean the real me, Anon!”
>>
>>30783904
>”Anon?” he asks.
>You nod.
>”Hm, Anon… Isn't an anon a... giant monkey? Right?”
>Your heart skips a beat.
“Y-yes! A human! Finally, someone who remembers!”
>Discord stares for a moment.
>”I… was joking Lexi. I’d accuse you of trying to play along but we both know that’s not your style.”
>The sudden turn is soul crushing.
>Your jaw hangs open as you try to figure out what to say now.
>”Wow, you seem really out of it Lex! Did you mess up another ritual?”
“I... I…”
>”Insanity is not a good look on you, but if you’re going to play with the unfathomable, you have to pay the consequences sometimes! I’ll probably return you to sanity after a while.”
“I’m not insane!”
>Your heart is racing right now.
>For a split second, you almost bought his insanity story.
>Even though you know for a fact that you were a human this morning you almost believed it.
>The sheer lack of will you just expressed makes you shudder.
>No, not lack of will…
>It’s Discord’s overpowering magic, even without trying he can have a subtle effect on those around him.
>You blink.
>Does he?
>You don’t remember anybody mentioning that before, but it sounds right.
>Just put the book up, he’ll get bored and leave you alone.
>Now, you can’t be sure of that, but something inside feels so convincing.
>So you do, and he does.
>How did you know that?
>A lucky guess?
>Intuition?
>Regardless, you’re all shaken up now.

And that's all I have for today, as always any feedback is more than welcome. I'll be giving Lexi a little break again, but she's definitely sticking around this time, but I'm going to write some other green for the time being.
>>
>>30783915
I like thing.

I much prefer the pacing of the reboot to the original. Before, stuff just happened, and then when the stuff got done happening, something else happened. If that makes any sense. Lexi 2.0 flows more naturally, is what I'm trying to say.
>>
>>30783955
Well, I'm glad the flow is better. I haven't looked back at old Lexi intentionally, as to not get caught trying to recreate it instead of beginning anew. I think that helps in the flow being better this go around, if only because I'm not trying to follow it beat for beat.
>>
>>30783915
>Seven posts of green
I wouldn't call that a short update. Unless you judge by Cuddly Doom standards.

It's the sickness, all viruses exist with the sole purpose of propagating and spreading its self. The Cuddlocalypse flu is no different.
>>
>>30785426
As the human population dwindles, the ponies will quickly discover that they are unable to breed in the traditional sense; in order to make more ponies, humans must be transformed.

In order to prevent inevitable extinction from this, the ponies round up the last of the humans, but don't transform them. Instead, they are made to breed with each other. Their babies are then taken away to be made into a foal by two lucky parents determined by a breeding lottery. The last humans are kept alive and healthy, and are forced to watch from within their gilded cages as the monuments to man's greatness are levelled, and statues honoring their heretical goddesses are built upon the rubble. After a few years, they eventually give up hope of escaping. There's nothing for them to escape to out there, anyway. They simply tell themselves that by allowing themselves to be bred like livestock, at least humanity will survive in some measure. Even if it isn't particularly noble.

Yea, I'm sure you're just fine with being livestock to the monsters that wiped out our species, forced us to breed so they can steal our children and make more of them. Of course they'll never feel safe, even with scary humans in cages so the first thing those little monsters will do is just lobotomies the whole lot of us, better safe than sorry right? Let us keep just enough of our brain matter to feed ourselves and fuck, of course they'll take the fun out of that too, milk the males for sperm, fertilize the females. Let them take everything humanity has built and accomplish over our entire history and clame it as their own, it's not like there's anyone around to say any different. But you're cool with that.

It's important to have a friendly face to help you out when becoming the little pony..

>>30786584
They wouldn't need to lobotomize them. When unicorns and magic exist, getting a couple of monkeys to stay in their cages is pretty easy. Besides, they would only have to deal with escape attempts and the like for as long as the first generation of breeders lived. The second generation would be raised from birth as livestock. They wouldn't know anything better than their prison, so they wouldn't strive to rise above it. They get total control over which breeders get to stay human anyway, so if any of the newer generations tried to escape, they could essentially be removed from the gene pool. Scientists in Russia were able to domesticate foxes simply by breeding the most docile ones, perhaps ponies could do the same. Within a century, humanity could be made wholly docile and subservient to their pony masters.

What I don't get is how you guys can be so nonchalant about the whole thing. Just thinking about a future like that both scares the living hell out of me and makes me absolutely livid. And most of you don't even seem to care. I mean this scenario is literally the only thing that make the cuddlocalypse even worse than it already is.
Also it's one thing to domesticate an animal but I refuse to believe that a human could be broken in with simple conditioning. The ones that would be left at the end, the survivors of the human race would literally be the best our species has to offer. And if you think they made it through all that, kept their humanity only to be made into livestock for those god damn monsters. They will never accept the cage. And if mutually assured destruction is the only way to win I guarantee we would take it. Better to die on your feet than live on hooves.

>How can you guys be so nonchalant

I'm just trying to layer the horror on. Also, statistically speaking, you would have ended up a pony rather than becoming breeding stock, so you'd most likely be the one keeping the last dregs of mankind behind bars rather than on the other side of them.

I live in an isolated northern Manitoba community where most houses have guns, I'd love to see those monsters try.

That puts you in a rather unique position. It's pretty obvious that there would be a few human enclaves left, and being in an isolated, well-guarded community in northern Canada would increase the odds that your community would be one of them. But you would need to trade to survive. You can't grow much food that far north, the climate just isn't what it needs to be. And seeing how most of humanity has been ponified, you won't have much choice but to trade with them to feed yourselves. But the horses have the world. You have nothing that they couldn't just get somewhere else.

Except people.

I'm sure they would be more than happy to guarantee a steady supply of food, as long as you send some fresh babies their way.

If you're among the last free settlements on Earth after the cuddlepocolypse, you have two, and only two, choices:

Trade away your own offspring to keep yourselves alive, or kill yourselves.

Or, I suppose you could always just go pony instead. It's up to you.

Although the climate isn't ideal we do have a growing season and all our arena's and school gyms could be converted into hydroponic gardens. We're surrounded by water which makes it easy to set up fish farms. All of our electricity is from hydroelectric dams that are also up here, if we felt like it we could cut off electricity during the winter and kill all the little bastards down south. There's only one bridge into this part of the North, blow that with blasting caps from the mine and only pegasus ponies could get in. And finally the mine would provide everything we need to make our own bullets.
I've been thinking about the apocalypse since I've first seen Dawn of the Dead like 25 years ago.

>>30788349
Cutting the power off wouldn't kill anyone. Their covered in fur, they'll just grow out their winter coats. Ponies are friendly and will help each other, so they won't go without food.

You're aware that pegasi can pull carts, right? So no, you wouldn't just be accessible to pegasi, you'd be accessible to anyone they could load up on their cart.

Including unicorns.

Most unicorns can only do rudimentary spells and telepathy, but in a world of 7 billion ponies, there are going to be millions of them with pretty good magical capability, capable of using barrier spells and invisibility spells that would completely sidestep your defenses all together.

On top of that, you've got the problem of how the infection is spread. If it's literally just contact with their fur, they could potentially just trim the fur of a few hundred ponies, fly over your settlement, and dump it out over your heads while you slept. Even if it didn't change all of you at once, it would change some of you, who would then go on to change when more.

Oh I forgot to mention on the issue of trade I'd have a firm, not one more human policy when it comes to our survival. If they don't want to trade like I said earlier off goes the lights and the heat. Since a lot of our electricity also powers the Northern US I could potentially kill millions of them if the winter is bad enough. The last thing they'll want to do is piss us off. Especially if I was in charge since all of this was my plan. I'd be the Governor of the North.

Your problem is that you aren't creating a novel strategy, you're just adapting your zombie strategy and treating them like humans when the zombie analogy breaks down. It's much more useful to think of them like an advanced race of alien parasites that need human bodies to survive. Maybe throw in a hivemind too, to help visualize the level of cooperation we're taking about here. And no, you wouldn't be the Governor of the North. You have a zombie strategy, so does everyone else. The people currently in power would stay in power, at least until they fuck up and lose power. And by the time that has happened, you would have lost your community to the ponies and been forced to a compound outside of it, with far fewer resources and people.

Sorry about that, I'm kinda at work, unloading trucks so I missed it.

>Cutting the power off wouldn't kill anyone.
I don't know, it gets pretty cold in January and February. And if they're not expecting it I'm sure it'll take out more than a few.
>You're aware that pegasi can pull carts, right?
They can pull carts in the show sure, but until there's proof of that in the story the best they could do is ferry across one pony at a time.
>They could potentially just trim the fur of a few hundred ponies, fly over your settlement, and dump it out over your heads while you slept.
That one is actually a pretty good plan of attack, and I would say it's more devious than anything they could come up with but Clementine Breeze would prove me wrong on that. Still for it to work you'd need the right conditions and the people would still have to be outside or it would harmlessly blow away. But by this point in the cuddlocalypse I'm sure people would know to keep covered at all times.
> You're just adapting your zombie strategy.
Just the parts that prove useful, but you are right I will have to find other ways to counteract against the ponies.
>The people currently in power would stay in power.
You're implying that they would survive the first wave and that wouldn't make sure accidents of an infectious nature wouldn't happen to them during that wave. Once they're turned any infected that aren't dead will have their wings clipped, their horns cut off and be forced to work in the mines, never to see the light of day for the rest of their miserable, short lives.

Has the story contradicted the show on the ponies' capabilities at all? Even if they couldn't, they could just use more pegasi.

>you'd need the right conditions and the people would still have to be outside or it would harmlessly blow away. But by this point in the cuddlocalypse I'm sure people would know to keep covered at all times.

If they use enough fur, it would end up sticking to pretty much every outside surface. You'd probably be finding pony fur in your dust bunnies for months, maybe even years. You'd pretty much need a Hazmat team to clean it all up safely, but you wouldn't have access to services like that in the apocalypse.

Also, you haven't addressed the unicorn in the room. What's your plan for magic? Even a not-particularly talented unicorn could probably disarm you pretty easily.

You guys are forgetting something pretty important in this scenario.

Teleportation is a thing.
Let's say the average unicorn can learn how to teleport themselves, but they get tired easily if they go more than a mile, with highly skilled unicorns able to teleport groups.
To be defendable, your community would have to keep things small and open, no nooks and crannies for small ponies to hide in, with a walled fence and barbed wire covering the top like a dome to prevent pegasi dive bombs.
How many people would your community have, 30, 100?
The human population is currently above 7.5 billion, let's assume most of those people were cuddled before a properly militaristic response was gathered.
By this point, the herd outnumbers you on a scale that's simply incomprehensible, but this video should hopefully give an idea of how absolutely staggering "Billion" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbhROBwrrUw
Quite simply, even if only 10% of ponies were unicorns, and of those only 10% were capable of teleporting more then themselves over long distances, they could simply smother your enclave in bodies within the blink of an eye.
And that's without getting into the mechanics of telekinisis.
A group of unicorns can move a star so group casting is definitely canon.
Lifting away the walls of a small community and holding down it's occupants is practically foalsplay.

Without a counter to magic, any sort of resistance is doomed to fail.

Your right I haven't addressed magic because I don't have an answer for that yet. And I'm not saying that I do have all the answers but I would fight on even if it is a futile effort because in the end even that is better than dying. Either through transformation cause you may as well be dead, you aren't you anymore or as livestock for these monsters. I just can't accept a no win situation for the human race. We've come to far to be just sniffed out and forgotten. I will never give in.
Oh and by the way we've got a population of about 13 thousand plus the reserves outside of the town and further north.

>>30789449
I think the only true form of protection in the cuddlocalypse would be to stay hidden, and try to keep your existence a secret from the ponies. Here in America it's possible to buy decommissioned missile silos and bunkers, which are very large underground structures that could probably be hidden rather easily. It wouldn't be able to hold 13 thousand people, and food production underground would be challenging, but if you're willing to forsake the sun and surrender the surface to the horses, you may be able to survive after all.

Great so my options are mentally die and become one of them, become livestock which is a fate worse than death or live underground like some whipped Diamond Dog hoping I'm never found while waiting to die. We could always reintroduce them to human cruelty because as much as I'll defend my species we are capable of doing some pretty horrible things, the kind of things they'd forget after being transformed, the kind of things that are done during a war. Maybe start up our own Unit 731 using ponies like the animals they are to develop biological weapons targeted towards them. Put dead ponies on display on the highway to the north, mutilate them then put them to work in the mines until their bodies break then throw them down the shaft like garbage. They might have the numbers but I doubt they could match us for cruelty, and I'm willing to bet they sure as hell don't have the stomach for it. Not for killing anyways.
