Choosiesaurus arrives in due time at the base of the mountain
She lowers the somewhat pooped Hijipone onto the grassy floor
Brushies are a sacred and tiring art, and Hijipone might want to nap for a bit
But as it stands, he cannot!
The memes must flow first, and only then can the blue dink actually rest.
He looks up at Choosiesaurus...

>>27583303
...and hugs her enormous snootle.

>>27583321

He whinnies a thank you to the Choosiesaurus
And the titan of a mare nods back
Her hoovsie thrusters fire off once Hijipone is a safe distance, and she gains altitude slowly

The Choosiesaurus must return to her home planet for dindins herself, and bids the pony farewell.
As she soars into the sky, the various poners of the forest salute and shed but a single prideful tear
Choosiesaurus will return, but for now her planet needs her.

Nature is a mysterious thing, but it is ever so beautiful, isn’t it?
Now that Hijipone is here, it is time to return to the task at hand.
How will the creature overcome this obstacle?
As scientists, we can surmise…

>>27583452
Good. Now that the poner god is pleased, she may have mercy during our next glassing.

Investigate the noises we heard at the base of the mountain.

Naturally, the Hijipone will use diplomacy to try and acquire memes
It may be a thief, but it is not a ruffian

Hijipone barks up the steep mountainsaid, asking if there are any memes to be had
The call of the glacial poner sounds back, demanding money for jumping
The ski masked horse is slightly confused, asking why it would want money to jump down

The horse above merely replies with “FIFTY”

It appears yet another test for Hijipone’s mental mettle is at hand…

The cliffside appears too steep for Hijipone to climb alone and without proper safety gear like a helmet and kneepads.

Instead of resorting to unsafe climbing conditions, the clever poner might…

>>27583546
Offer an alternative incitement to the glacial pony of some valuable professional contacts.

>>27583546
catch her

>>27583546
Headbutt mountainside to knock Glacial pone down!
Earth-pone is strong!

>>27583546
abandon the cyoa woods for the tumblr comic caves, make many professional contacts and offer them to the glacial pony.

>>27583546
Go around the mountain and look for another way.

And so, he will bonk his head upon the wall!

*thunk*

The hijipone immediately regrets his decisions and insteads to roll on the floor a bit, reeling and seething

A bandage and a boo boo later, the hijipone has decided upon an element of subterfusge
The residents of tumblr steppes have a penchant for ‘professional’ contacts, and hijipone is a crafty creature

It finds a lunch bag from the area and creates a shoddy effigy of a popular poner long since passed
With his newgound puppet, he coerces the Glacialponer with the call of the nipspone

“How-DEE!”
“How-dee!”
“Howdurgkshdgkjnsg”

And with that, the glacial poner takes some tentative steps down the side of the mountain.

Surely, this will mean hijipone will survive!
He licks his lips in anticipation…

But sadly, it seems fate has other plans for the greedy sausage and his sugar momma of memes
The poner trips and begins a perilous tumble down the mountainside!

Hijipone, unable to perform outside of his genetic railroading, lets her crumble and fall down the side of the tall mountain, landing at a heap at his own feet

The poner is kill.
Nature can be unforgiving.

>>27583718
Poor hijipone has yet to realize, She is no busy bee overflowing with honey, she is but a wasp. Her memes are sour and long past due.

>>27583733
desecrate the corpse

>>27583733
Call into the forest that the glacier pony has come down from the mountain, perhaps her corpse can serve as bait for easier prey.

>>27583763
this

>>27583733
Poke with stick.

>>27583733
Extract at least a single meme from the corpse. Perhaps it will give him the strength to climb the mountain.

>>27583733

She is made of meme. Eat the corpse.

>>27583733
Check the body. Perhape glacierpone has salvagable memes in her inventory.

>>27583763
Yes

He leans over and wrests the valuable memestuffs from her corpse
And though they are sour and ill kept
They will grant life to the hijipone for now

In a fit of frustration, hijipone desecrates the corpse

He will need richer, more recent memes to truly sustain himself…

And so, Hijipone calls to the forest, and announces the return of the glacial poner
And to seal the deal, he desecrates the corpse

It is not disrespect for the glacial poner
Merely a method of masking the scent of death upon the target
As well as a means to prevent the poner from coming back as a lich of some kind, such as Nips pone.

Sure enough, upon fully desecrating the body, the bushes rustle, and a pair of ears poke over the leaves
The hijipone knows not if the seeking gaze of the poner wearing fake tufts and quietly kekekeing to itself is hostile or not, and must make a decision.

>>27584103
Be careful. The respone is naturally hostile and consumes all memes. You don't want to be taken to his basement.

Therein lies the craftpone, who is doomed to cuddle tube sand for all eternity.

>>27584103
Make squirrel noises to attract the faux bat.

>>27584103
Perhaps we should pretend to leave. If a respone is present, it could be worth tailing it back to its basement

>>27584103
Quickly apply any available goo and leaves to the ear tips. They may be crude, but surely they will endear you to this beast, and he will begin to enthusiastically gush memes.

The Hijipone holds the respone in high regard, much like how the snake holds the mongoose at an arm’s distance.

The blue thief finds a nearby rock and conceals itself
Its breathing stills and it assumes a low stance…

The respone shows itself, donning its tuft extensions and bat wings
An effective camouflage for moving among the bats of the forest
As well as attracting mates
Or so it believes.

The hijipone suppresses a gleeful squeal
The respone is not only memerich
But easy to track and identifty!

If the hijipone were to follow the respone, a stash of memes would be available for the taking

And what’s this?
The respone nerviously asks if glacierpone wants to see his stash
Glacier pone is dead

He kekekes gleefully, and grabs her tail, and starts to drag
Presumably to his hideout!

Hijipone takes this moment to consider his options…

While he has a block of sour memes to his name, there lays the possibility of getting fresh and healthful ones…
But the glass awaits him if he is discovered…

>>27584262
Use memes to ambush respone

>>27584262
JUST

>>27584262

See if there's any fruit to distract the respone with.

>>27584262
Follow the respone.

Sometimes he even converses with his meme friends.
So many memes for the taking.

>>27584262
Follow to the stash. Take back what was horded away.

>>27584262
Pack up the sour memes (it's why the sack exists) and follow the respone back to it's stash. We don't have to take anything immediately, but it'd be good to know the location.

File: nq17.png (941KB, 3062x2674px) Image search: [Google]

941KB, 3062x2674px

The Hijipone knows to not waste memes, no matter how sour or stale a meme is, it must not go unconsumed.
It places the brick of memes into its sack and watches the respone carefully
Using its natural skills of subterfusge, it trips only four (4) times while following the overly pleased respone through the forest.

The respone reaches a large tree, and at the base, the Hijipone can smell the dankest, freshest memes
His mouth waters
His lips quiver
But it must wait

The hijipone knows that a wrong move will result in an untimely glassing
And no one will want that

Instead, it watches respony jam the glacierpone’s corpse into the hole and follow it soon after

In the dark recess, the hijipone sees the respone presenting himself upon his stash
This is a natural mating ritual for the respone
But glacierpone is dead

He sits atop his magnificent pile and raises his tufts and wings
Craftpone sighs, and readjusts its grip on tubesand, a decoy for its affections.
The tubesand is the respone’s personal natural item, much like the hijipone’s bag

And much like tubesand, hijipone’s bag will soon be filled with memes

With respone distracted, a frontal assault may work, but is the Hijipone confident enough to assault the largest memestash in all of the forest?

>>27584491
Probably not.

What he needs is something to draw the respone out.
Perhaps another poner?

>>27584491
i believe in hijipone
full frontal assault
grab those memes!

>>27584491

Following the rails of a frontal assault would only lead to our doom. We are a thief, not a fighter.

We need something to lure him out and away. Perhaps the scent of GC's old sour memes?

>>27584491
Lure him out. Suggest that a hypothetical pony named Easy dindunuffin.

>>27584491
Seek Squirrel. Squirrel spells doom for the respone.

>>27584544
But the respone hates Easy.

He'd be better lured out by the prospect of Tinker being wronged by Easy.

>>27584574
exactly, he would never let the claim that she dindunuffin go unchallenged.

>>27584580
Ah, I get you.

>>27584491
We need a mango!

If the hijipone is good at anything, its certainly waffling
After much internal debate, it decides to try and be sneaky and use more intelligent means to separate memeking from memes.

He leans into the hole and shouts a throwaway distraction
The whinny stating a certain flame headed mare “dindu nuffin” is enough to send respone into a chaotic rage

He scrambles from his den, and start slinging obscenities that would make a moff make sad noises.

With the king removed from his throne, the memes lay in the hole unguarded!

The hijipone does what comes naturally. As scientists, we can assume he…

>>27584667
Sneaks around and steals all memes

>>27584667
Offers the craftpone a piece of art in exchange for his silence.

>>27584697
The craftpone is dead inside, it is no threat.

>>27584693
>>27584697
He's blocking the entrance.

>>27584667
Do not confront the craftpon
It doesn't anger easily, but once angered it is capable for arguing over nothing for over 3 hours

>>27584718
Can we steal them too?

The hijipone places a small, but cute, doodle of craft pone upon the sleeping pandahorse

He merely sighs contentedly in response
For he is dead inside

In any case, the hijipone approaches the memepile and begins to fill his bag
After several minutes, the bag is full, and hijipone has consumed enough memes to be content.

A gleeful smile spreads across his face.
And he cradles his bag with much pleasure.

He steals into the forest, and finds a nice hole to crawl into for a nap.

And while the hijipone’s day ends here, there will always be another time, and another meme to steal.

This has been Nature Quest, a documentary about silly ponies in a forest of wonder.

Hey guys, sorry for a delay with no talk about what's going on

Incoming blog post, tl;dr: I'm not dropping my quests. It could be a while before I get back to them. I'm going to try and make it so that I can get back to them soon.

For the longer version, I recently got shifted over to full time at my job which means that between work, transit time, sleep, and other adult things I have to do, I rarely have more than 4 hours of my day where I can just sit down at my computer, and I'm usually exhausted for those 4 hours. I don't generally have more than one day off in a row, and I don't really have a good way of continuing questing right now.

I'm looking to get a more consistent schedule at my job, and I'm also looking into therapy, both of which would help me quest far more regularly. I really enjoy doing Night Delivery and BoatQuest, but I can't continue them right now without a significant drop in quality if I can find the time at all.

Sorry.

http://science.jrank.org/pages/447/Ants-Mating-reproduction-life-span.html
>Although the queen may copulate with several males during her brief mating period, she never mates again. She stores sperm in an internal pouch, the spermatheca, near the tip of her abdomen, where sperm remain immobile until she opens a valve that allows them to enter her reproductive tract to fertilize the eggs.

>>27588910
What about the thing where ants lay unfertilized eggs? Is that a thing changelings can do?

>>27589001
Oh, that. Yeah, probably, seeing how many drones there were at Canterlot. I doubt they were all fertilized, a queen can only hold so many sperms. Can't afford to use them for every single egg.
Assuming changelings work like ants, of course.

Eggs aren't embryonic if they're not fertilized.
Also, I'd imagine that Changling eggs would look a lot like these [PIC RELATED] scorpion eggs.
Of course as a fictional creature (with mammalian horse parts) we don't know for sure that they don't give live birth, only queens lay eggs and drones give live birth because they haven't undergone a transformation or some other autistic bat-shit.

As such I'm having a very strange personal problem concerning Semantic Error. I have a lot of stuff planned and noted about Semantic Error's setting but I haven't been able to reveal most of it in the quest yet for a lot of different reasons. I originally planed on using the news broadcasts and mission descriptions to give more details about the world as Semantic Error ran but right now but since the quest slowed down I have been feeling a little blue balled with this build up of unused "lore". So I wanted to know what people thought about a couple of methods I could use to alleviate this build up of Ideas I haven't been able to convey.
Now, I could try to write a lore book, but I'm not sure how to decide what aspects to put in it since their context is not necessarily set up in a organized fashion, so I want to engage people and get some kind of direction on what aspects they consider important.
Now some I ideas I d for accomplishing this were:
>Doing a Q and A and recording the questions and answers.
Unfortunately this could kill immersion and I feel like participants may not have a good idea about what they should ask.
>Have a character not important to the CYOA answer questions about them-self.
This could maintain immersion and give a little direction but I might get banned for RPing on 4chan.
>Go ahead and write a dry ass lore book.
The problems with this were already expressed.
>Run an ask blog with a non-important character as supplemental material on an outside site.
I'd probably have to do this on Tumblr and I don't want to be a Tumblr shill.

Any other ideas are appreciated

"I couldn't save them... Not a single one. I'm looked up to you know... respected, world renowned even. there are ponies that look up to me as their hero. But does a hero let ponies die? A real hero saves lives but me? I'm powerless.
>Spitfire stops and slams the remainder of her drink, before staring you in the eye. Her face showing the tell-tail signs of someone who is truly dead inside, and only able to feel alive when the pain of her regrets bubbles to the surface.
"That, That is why I can't be bothered to care anymore."

This seems like by far the best option (to me, anyway). If you are worried about it being misconstrued as RPing, write it in the third person.

Big mare is for suffer

>>27590548

What if you planned and ran a sort of "side-mission" from the point of view of another character in the universe? It would be a faster paced story focused around important setting information. Like the first mission in a videogame where they lead the player around doing menial tasks while people around them exposit on the game's setting. But with actual playing. Then the character can die or something dramatic at the end of the sidemission and we can go back to the main character.

>>27590588
I was talking about doing a dry Q and A not as a character, where I would just kind of answer questions in a strait foreword kind of way.
>>27590815
I like that option best as well but I don't think it would work as well if I wrote it in third person.
>>27590943
As fun as a side mission sounds if I'm running the quest I want to run the actual quest. Also, Semantic Error is actually planned out so there will be events that will happen after so many days have passed in File's life. Because of this I don't want to do anything that might spoil parts of the timeline before they happen.

>>27591055
>I don't think it would work as well if I wrote it in third person
Why not? Write it like an interview. The anon suggestions are the interviewer pony's dialog and the answers are the other pony's dialog. I think it would work just fine.

>>27591119
As an interview between two characters might work although that might shift things a little bit away from the sort of casual conversational tone I would like to use. Also, the character I planned on using couldn't be used but that's fine really.

This actually sounds like the safest option thus far all things considered.

Anybody else have an opinion on this?
Like Should I try doing that here or make a separate one night thread for it or something?

>>27591199
I think that sounds fine. Do it here, you'll get more takers and it might even inspire a couple of people to pick up the quest.

You said that you felt you were only using the abilities you were born with, as if that was some sort of excuse. Do you really believe that? Surely you wouldn't say that about ANY ability. A pony with a talent for fire, for example, isn't permitted to cause it wherever he pleases just because he is good at it. Why not use your abilities productively?

Hey if players forget an important detail that would make sense for the MC to remember. Is it ok to remind them or I just let them suffer when it bites them in the ass later.

I also see that you have joined several groups know to be in favor of Unicorn supremacy who are often considered racist. do you have another explanation for your actions?"
>"I just... I was her father, I was supposed to keep my wife and daughter safe and then Iafter the breaking... I don't want to be powerless and that's what you're doing to every pony. I just feel like I'm being choked like I don't have any control... "
"So you think that using combative magic on a Bat-pony politician will help you get back that control that unicorns have lost?"
>"I... No, I just. We don't have a word in anymore Nobody is listening to us! and I can't just be silenced because someone with more money refuses to listen..."

>>27600313
So can you say your actions are not racially charged? You feel that unicorns are oppressed? If you are only concerned with the freedom of magic then why are you associated with these groups? Maybe you think Twilight would make Equestria great again? Do you think the government is no longer in place to serve the ponies?

>>27600313
I really think you need to take a step back and check your privilege

>>27600313
What about technology? Can't you defend yourself with that? Technology is something any pony can use. We're all on an even keel from that perspective.

Did you boop a party member?
Did you boop someone else?

>>27600525
You boop yourself at nights.

>>27600525
>not asserting your dominance by booping party members.

If your MC is the one who gets booped, you are not the party leader.

Hm.
You are curious, with your shining squares. How many of you are there? The exact amount seems to shift.
Strange. Normally I have a very good eye.

>>27600554
Give lewds.

>>27600554
Be good.

>>27600564
Maybe you just need glasses.

>>27600570
Glasses?
I can warp reality at my whim. I can edict laws that affect thousands. I can start and end wars with only a word. I could create and destroy stars.
I most thoroughly believe that I do not need glasses. You are simply too much of an uncertainty. You are chaos theory at play.
Anyhow, I must repeat: How many of you are there? Is there any separation within the individuals that form your group, or am I interacting with a gestalt?

>>27600645
Definitely a sentient gestalt. You can reason with us and yet you can't reason with us.

Huh, it's always hard to understand you gesta--
>>27600698
I am pretty sure we aren't biologically compatible. You gestalts are always all about efficiency.
>>27600726
Disparaging opinions.
Did you lie to me about your nature? do you think I am a fool?

>>27600742
>roleplaying
fuck off

>>27600742
Right, let's just skip to the end then, shall we?

We are a collective of individuals rather than a gestalt, but are indistinguishable from each other by virtue of the anonymity inherent in the medium in which we communicate with each other, and by extension you. We use this medium to discuss a particular variety of games that we play, and also complain and joke about these games. We also sometimes just post random horseshit just for the hell of it. This is entertainment for us, outline horse.

Now that that's out of the way, who are you and what do you want?

"If you are not a proponent of Unicorn supremacy and general racism then why would you join groups like this?"
>"They are a means to an end! I don't want any pony being held back and that includes unicorns!"
"So you've convinced yourself that it isn't just a moment for unicorns then."
>"What do your papers say about my daughter? or my ex-wife?"
"Not that much I'm afraid."
>"Neither of them where unicorns."
>>27600491
"Even if the magic you wish unicorns could practice is for protecting other ponies from other races then couldn't you do it just as well with a gun or perhaps a home security android?"
>"So we shouldn't be allowed to use anything not made by a company for our own protection!? I don't want every decision made in the government run by some cooperate ass-hole trying to suck money out of us! Besides, I'm tired of everyone talking shit about Princess Twilight. She doesn't even want to take back control from out current politicians but I feel like she needs to. Everything is just so messed up and backwards and nobody is doing anything!.."

>>27600824
Okay, what SPECIFICALLY about the new government do you think is the root problem, and why would that problem be alleviated by allowing Twilight to resume control?

>>27600824
Stop trying to cast spells angrily. That ring is on there for a reason.

>>27600824
angry terrorist trying to replace the lawful government with one that disproportionately favors himself. Cannot have a simple conversation without attempting to cast on people that disagree with him.

send him to the chair.

Entertainment?
It'd explain your behaviour, yes. I will accept the explanation for now.
How many worlds do you interlope in?
No, let me rephrase the question: How many worlds are available so that any of you could, if you wished to, interlope? How high is your interactivity with them?

"You do know that you might hurt yourself tying to cast spells with that ring on right?"
>"I already have a headache form trying but I won't have the opportunity to even try much longer. part of my sentence was to have my horn removed just like they're trying to push hospitals into doing to newborn foals."
"Are you saying that parents who are unable to help a foal learn to use unicorn magic should be forced into doing so?"
>"Maybe... It's just wrong, it's like saying pegasi should loose their wings so they don't get hit by sky traffic.
>>27600840
"Well what do you believe our current government is doing wrong, how do you think we would benefit under Princess Twilight's rule?"
>"She hasn't been bought by big companies. She thinks that ponies shouldn't be held back from using their full potential to further some stupid corporation's goals"

>>27600840
Because Twilight is always right in CYOAs

>>27600955
Clearly the solution here is to remove twilights horn.

>>27601007
And all magic altogether. While we're at it we should also get rid of any and all physical differences, including gender, and force everybody to be equal in every way.

Starlight Glimmer? What the fuck are you doing her.

I believe his heart's in the right place, even if his deeds are major.

This guy deserves whatever sentence he gets for what he did, certainly. Terrorism is no way to accomplish his goals, nor is it going to get Twilight in power.
Look at every politician who has ever been assassinated. They're revered, loved, adored. Trying to silence a voice only makes it louder.

>>27601064
What exactly did he do?

>>27601070
attempted to assassinate a politician resulting in 5 injuries.

>>27600941
All worlds that can be described in words and images are available to us. Interactivity is usually in the form of controlling or influencing the behavior of entities in the universe in question.

Imagine reading a book page by page as it is being written, and before one specific character in the story does anything the author asks you for your opinion on what he should do. The character has no access to you or the author and no idea they are any different from the rest of the people in their world.

That's us, except there are a lot of us, all arguing over what the author should make the guy do.
