>Buttons realizes that this is no time to get angry and lunges foreword wrapping her hooves around Squeezy pulling her into a tight hug.
"I'm- I'm sorry!"Buttons says in between sobs,"This place is driving me crazy and I'm scarred. I don't want to fight with you, I just want to go back to my boring dumb life."
>Freshly Squeezed cringes in pain as Cleaver Buttons puts pressure on her shoulder. knowing that she means well Fresh grits her teeth and accepts the unicorn's affection.
"It's okay,I'm scarred too. and I don't know what to do either." Fresh admits. "All I can think of is sitting here with you with some blunt objects and waiting for those stupid machines to get us. I wish, I had a better plan."
>Buttons' face is now a bit soggy with her own tears.
"I You're right though, I don't know what kind of traps we could set up so I know why you thought that was stupid but, I don't want to wait for them to kill us, I want to do something. I just wish those weapons would appear like they did before again, but I don't know how to do that either.

>>27668382
The welder has been shown to be effective, while conventional weapons are ineffective.

Perhaps plasma weaponry would be useful? if dubs

I dunno. It's been a while and I forgot what we've done and what our plan was if there was one.
Have we re-explored the building for additional supplies?

Plasma gun would be nice too

>Buttons releases Squeezy and wipes the tears from her face with a little sniffle.
"C-can we check the building one last time? Waiting to die is just, I don't feel good about it." Buttons asks.
>Fresh squeezes out a weak smile.
"Yeah, I guess we're fucked anyway, I do't think a little look around will hurt."
>Both mare pick themselves up and begin walking out of the radio room.
As they begin walking Freshly Squeezed speaks up "Hey, if there's no other way out and it comes down to being forced....I forgive you."
>Buttons stops in her tacks.
"No! No we're going to get out of this. We're..."
Buttons stops short as she sports some odd equipment laying in the hallway that wasn't there before. Both pieces seem to have some sort of hoof activated trigger system and are shaped very much like carbine rifles but are foreign to both mares.

What do both mares do?

>>27668770
Nice. Can we get some advanced powered armor too?

Let's not abuse this too much. We just got two high powered weapons. Armor would be cool, but I don't think we should use this too much.
Since this is an experiment, if this system makes it into any future quests, I'd make it where you could only use it once or twice per in game day. It would keep it balanced, while still having new supplies coming in instead of a closed system.
>>
>>27668983
True. All we were asking for is armor and weapons. That's it.

"Yeah... We were just talking about this though, so we should be careful."
>Both ponies grab one of the two mysterious pieces of equipment.

>"Get Back Here! If you do not come back our next actions will be a surprise rather than warning you about what your actions will bring."
>As both ponies pet the robot with suppressing fire they can see a strange aura appearing as they shoot close to the eye. At first it appears blue but as more shots hit the some area around the eye, the aura begins to turn more red.
>Both ponies run down the stairs and find that there is about 8inches of water flooding the downstairs.
Breathing heavily Freshly squeezed says, "We-we left all of our stuff upstairs with the radio."
Buttons just as winded says, "Did you see the size of that thing!? We still need to go!"

The robot is in front of the building, both doors to the ponies left lead to rooms in the front. The door to the left leads to a bathroom with no other exit. in front of the ponies is a window and behind them is the stairs.

"Right, I'll be right with you."

>While the robot is talking both ponies focus their fire on the eye. one of the areas in the shield that appears turns red before the robot raises it's hand in front of Buttons' and Fresh's fire. The shots from the weapons the ponies are using make the metal hand begin glowing red as the robot reels it's other fist back.
>"Shall I take this as your answer!?"

What do both mares do?
>>
>>27677652
Retreat to an angle where the fist can't punch you. Shoot at the joints, making them red hot could fuse them together and make the limb immobile.

Also roll for self repairing advanced powered armor. Though it only appears when we actually have time to put it on.

>>27677719

I don't think we're getting rolls anymore, but just incase, force field armor, like what the robot has.

>>27678031
Keep firing at the eye while trying to dodge it's attacks. It protected that for some reason. How high is the water?
>>
>>27678031
All we can really do is take shots at the eye when we have an opportunity.

This room seems like it's pretty spacious. I think the poners should spread out, it's possible one might get an angle on it when the other doesn't.

Staying together has no real benefit here.

That thing needs to breath. Maybe its a cooling system. We could have Squeeze fly behind it to distract it. As it turns Buttons could use magic and debris to clog up the back vents. Aside from that I'm out of ideas.

My guess is it's the coolant system for the machine and the death ray. If we damage it enough, it'll fall into thermal shutdown or melt itself internally once the death ray is fired again.

Squeezy should keep the back facing toward Buttons. Though she might have to be on foot now from exhaustion.

Buttons should go all out. Just unleash our plasma rifle on those vents and make em red hot while using her magic to shove things in it.

Hopefully the robot will activate it's death ray just in time to melt its own processors.

Recognizing that Cleaver Buttons has a better chance of getting away from the robot or perhaps hitting those vents, Freshly squeezed tries to keep the robots attention turned away from Buttons.

>The vents were smashed into the ground
This is great. It means the robot is probably incapacitated at this point.

Not only were water and mud sucked into the air intake, but they also protruded the farthest from its back, which means the whole weight of the robot were probably put on those vents, probably smashing them up into the robot.

Basically, the vents should be clogged and the robot is going to be overheating like a bitch now.

>Freshly Squeezed stops under the truck to catch a break from the rain. As she sits in the faux-dryness under the truck Cleaver Buttons looks at her, feeling kind of sorry.
"Hey, um Squeezy?
"Yes?"
"I noticed that you were having some trouble walking with that gun. Do you want me to carry it for you?"
"I don... I'm not sure it it's the best idea. What if they catch us by surprise?"
"So, you don't feel comfortable without it?"
"No. I'm just Are you sure you want to carry it for me?"
"How about this, I'll check this truck and then we'll make a final decision."
"Yeah, we'll both just think about it, and I'll keep an eye out.
>Perching the truck Buttons finds a couple of safety vests, a pair of safety googles, three respirators, a plastic hard hat, a metal hard hat
a list of directions, a clipboard with a vehicle checklist, a CB radio hooked up to the truck and a pass for a mining-site.

What do both mares do?
>>
>>27708819
Freshy, you think you could hold the gun underneath your wing, or is it too heavy?
>>
>>27708819
Safety vests are brightly colored and have reflective strips so they'd only make us more visible. The safety googles might help keep the rain out of Fresh's eyes if she tries to fly again. What type of respirators are they? Fresh should get the plastic hard hat since it's lighter and Buttons should get the metal hard hat. Check the radio, the directions, and the checklist. Also take the pass.
>>
>>27708819
If they catch us by suprise these guns wont be fired, they'll be dropped shortly before us. We arent in a position to survive an ambush. However they are useful for covering fire, distractions, and a few other utilities. If it makes you feel safer, by all means carry it.

If the battery in the truck is still charged, try the radio.

"Hey, I found some stuff that you might want to... What are you doing?"
"I'm just, trying to hold this gun in my wing."
"Can pegasi operate things like that?"
"sort of, not really. no."
"Oh, well anyway I found some stuff you should wear and I think I found another working radio. You should hop up here!"

"So I think that if we do that, we're going to have to find a way to distract those guards long enough for you to start the truck. Maybe we could throw a rock or something!?"

"Fresh, I want to look at that crane, we might be able to snap the bucket off."
"For what?"
"We might be able to use it as a distraction."
>Both ponies make their way over to the crane. The cables holding the bucket look like they are about the same gauge as the cable that was attached to the robot's spike from earlier. The cables are being violently tossed around by the wind, to hit them with one of the mare's weapons will be difficult at range, but there may be easy access to the cables from inside. The crane has two main cables, one that raises and lowers the boom and another that controls the height of the bucket.
>While on the cliff above the crane Buttons tries to see how far she can cast her light spell away from herself. She manages to get it past the crane. Freshly Squeezed estimates that Buttons is able to cast the light spell about 2000 feet away from her, although Buttons seems to think that it's 100 feet.
>Looking at the cliff that hangs over the mouth of the cave, reveals that the rock is very smooth. in this rain it will be treacherously slippery, but the angle looks like it could be walk-able. Still it's not a 100% guarantee that walking along it won't result in slipping off the cliff to almost certain death.

What do both mares do?
>>
>>27764059
Can't Squeezy pick up Buttons and do a low flight out of the wind?
>>
>>27764059
Not worth it. Maybe if Squeezy was in better condition, so she could help Buttons avoid a fatal slip--but as it stands, the risks are too great to warrant doing something that might not help, and may even backfire on us.

I think Buttons should just try to start the truck and crush the robots as planned, with Squeezy getting into a position where she can fire her plasma rifle at the robots if things go pear-shaped.
>>
>>27764142

Buttons is probably right. 2000 feet is nearly half a mile.

"I can almost reach the controls with my magic but I'm going to need to get closer, and starting it up might take a bit of time," Buttons whispers.
"We don't have to stick together, I might be able to get their attention if I head to the other side of the crater. Maybe I could fly down and start the bulldozer or have them chase me or something." Freshly Squeezed whispers back.
"Wait, can you fly in this weather?"
Not for very long and I can't carry anything heavy but in a pinch I'd probably be able to make it up the cliff. Although I might not land very softly."
"Well the bulldozer and the crane are here, and the CB flipped on in the last truck so who knows what else is in working order. We just need some sort of plan, I don't want one of us getting gunned down while we're trying to start the truck."
"I don't think either of us are ready to die after we came this far either."

"Freshly Squeezed, I don't know, I don't think I like that..."
>Buttons sentence is cut off by Squeezy kissing her on the cheek. The suddenness of this stops buttons long enough for Fresh to pick up her weapon and begin taking to the air.
>Squeezy takes to the air, and immediately attracts the attention of the robot guards.
>Before Fresh can decide where she is going to fly to a death ray zips toward her. She barely dodges it as the wind throws her away from the beam and flips her hard-hat off.
>As she rolls to the side dodging the first shot, the other robot fires it's weapon cutting a hole in Freshly Squeezed wing. Squeezy grits her teeth as a burning pain shoots up from her wing before she hits the hard ground rolling to her side. Somehow Fresh kept a hold on her gun on the way down, but it's only a small consolation as she realizes that with an injury like this, she will likely never be able to fly again.
>Buttons gasps in horror as she sees her friend hit the ground with the robots closing in on her with big heavy steps.
>Freshly Squeezed grips her weapon and considers her next action, as a cold sweat runs down her neck. Right now more than anything, Freshly Squeezed is afraid. She's about to die, unless some miracle happens, She will die.

Sorry about the time it took me to post this, I wanted to put some extra time into this panel due to what's going on.
For the record I do like Freshly Squeezed, She is a good pony in my opinion.

Unfortunately I have to go to sleep now, which is fine, I'm sure anybody left playing will probably want some time to think about what to do.
>>
>>27773564
TURN ON THE TRUCK AND RUN THEM BOTH OVER RIGHT THIS INSTANT!
>>
>>27773564
Well that was stupid.

Two robots, two mares.
Buttons, make the most of a bad situation. You have the jump on them. Fire immediately at one of the robots. Hopefully incoming fire will be able to distract them from their immediate murderous intentions, however briefly. It's likely she can only see one of them right now, so Buttons will probably fire at the KK-9 visible from the side of the truck.

Fresh, channel that adrenaline and capitalize on the confusion that Buttons is going to cause. Unload into whatever robot she didn't target like your life depends on it. Because it does. If one of the robots falls but not the other, take whatever cover you can behind the truck.

We should hopefully be able to off the two of them before they deliver a coup de grace to Fresh.
I imagine they may have shields, but I can't imagine they'd stand up as long as the massive armor's shields did, and even then, those were dying off relatively quickly.

>>27773666
No, that's dumb. Buttons said she probably couldn't turn the truck on quickly.
>>
>>27773677
Satan demands that the robots shall die and die they shall.
>>
>>27773700
And doing it via the truck is stupidity.
1: We don't know how long it'll take to get it started.
2:Fresh is in the fucking middle of the robots.
3:One of the robots is to the side of the truck, not in front of it.

This will go one of two ways:
1: Most likely, Fresh gets shot because it takes too long to start.
2: Fresh gets run over.

We have a matter of seconds to save Fresh.

>>27773842
Alright fine, if you think your idea is so superior answer a few question. How do you know we'd even be able to penetrate their heavy armor and possible shielding with our gun? How will we be able to overpower two armored robots that have deathrays? What's to prevent one of them from offing the downed, defenseless pegasus, who's out in the open, with a quick shot from their deathray to make sure she won't be able to retaliate while they focus on us?

Your plan has a list of ifs, the only ifs mine has is the speed of the truck and whether or not they'd shoot her before we can do anything.
>>
The truck starts.
>>
>>27773842
I'd also like to point out that we wouldn't even have these guns your relying on if dubs weren't respected on this quest.
>>
>>27773926
I know our guns will work because we've fucking done it before. We have plasma guns which have already fucking downed a robot.

You want to fucking talk about ifs, uour plan is the biggest fucking if ever.
If the even truck starts in time
If they don't just get out of the way
If it's fast enough
If it doesn't run Fresh over
If they don't just shoot her immediately, which is even more of an issue.

Look at that truck. Do you honestly fucking think that thing moves fast enough?
Two, look at the placement of the robots. That one isn't even in front of the truck!

Think logically. Truck revs up, engine comes to life, put it in gear, it starts rolling forward. How long does that take?

Now how long does it take to point and shoot a gun?
>>
>>27774011
So your saying our gun will be able to quickly destroy these >>27773564 brutes since they destroyed this >>27731809 skeleton? The skeleton who was alone, fought with a melee weapon, and was crippled with our first attack?
>>
>>27774097
I'm saying that it has a much better chance of working than your plan, that you have admitted relies on a miracle to even have a chance of working.
>>
>>27774097
Are you saying that the truck with a maximum speed of 10 mph will be faster than a gun?
>>
>>27774145
I'm saying that meta of satanic trips is much more likely to work than your plan which possibly calls for a prolonged fight that we might not even be able to win in the first place (see >>27774097 ). Dubs and trips have made the impossible happen in this quest before, like your precious guns materializing out of thin air.
>>

>>
>>27773809
>>27774221
Just going to point out that >>27764899 was a dubs command and still failed.

Also, couldn't we try using Dubs or trips to summon something that fresh could use for cover?

Were the only other posts to choose form.

Also, since we were trying to figure out a way of distracting them (or have them chase me or something.), So it wasn't actually a complete failure.

By all means try to do something more useful for dubs/trips. You still have to actually get them though.
>>
>>27774333
How is the idea guaranteed to get both of us killed? Is there an actual argument there or are you just trying to discredit it?
>>
>>27774388
Not us, the people in front of the truck. Remember them?
And being ran over by a truck is usually lethal, yes.
>>
>>27774221
That's metagaming. You choose a path of action on its merit, not because you got a good roll.
>>
>>27773564
We shouldnt have challenged these robots. They're both the eye type combined with combat mechs. The eye alone has sheilds that block our weapons. We barely took down one and used a welder to do it.

Buttons, yell to squeezy. Tell her to roll to cover, then shoot the gas tank on the truck and dive yourself. In the confusion grab squeezy and book it again. Use smoke as cover.

Actually, just magic squeezy back to our cover. Then shoot the tank...i guess...unless you guys think guns will do it this time.
>>
>>27774405
>Tell her to roll to cover, then shoot the gas tank on the truck
We have plasma rifles. I'm very worried that'll ignite the truck with squeezy under it nor do I think it'd be safe to magic her that far in the open.

Get her in cover yes, don't shoot the gas tank with the truck being squeezy's nearest piece of cover.
>>
>>27774395
WHAT PEOPLE?!? There are no people, just us and the two robots that are trying to kill us, the ones I'm trying to run over!.
>>
>>27774404
Fine you want logic? If you look at the picture you'll see that fresh fell to the right of the truck (it's at in angle in the picture) , not in front of it. The robots fired from the left side of the truck, the side we're on. To reach fresh they'd have to walk infront of the truck. We'd be able to activate it from behind the truck so it'd be impossible for them to see us. If the truck turns on, they'd most likely turn their attention to the truck rather than Fresh since one would think it'd need a driver to turn on. Even if the truck is to slow to crush them, they'd move out of the way, most likely towards what they're guarding, allowing the truck to roll in between them and Fresh, thus protecting her. We'd also be able to run around the truck. Hopefully the truck would just kill both of them though.
>>
>>27774425
Yeah, but how do we get squeezy to cover? She's pretty fucked as is. Maybe we could bluff it. Have Buttons say she's ready to cooperate and wants to finish Squeezy herself. Levitate her over to our rock, put rifle to head, then at the last second shoot the gas tank and run off.

Fuck thats a terrible idea but I can't think of another way Squeezy lives. Just shooting at them won't work if they're floating eyes.

Then again, they are under a big rock overhang. Shoot up?
>>
>>27774405
Gas doesn't explode, it burns. That'd also alert the robots to our presence.

>>27774425
She's on the other side of the truck.
>>
>>27774405
I think our guns will be effective. They wore down the shields on the robot that was three stories tall fairly quickly.
These things can't have the same defensive capabilities as that massive thing. I don't think it'll immediately punch through, which is a problem.

I think Buttons firing on the robots will buy critical seconds for Squeezy, and that's what's important right here and now.
>>

So its guns or bust. I don't think direct confrontation is a good idea but it seems there are no good ideas.

Guns it is. Godspeed incompetent yet rugged mini horses.
>>
>>27774613
There is also truck. Also you guys put way to much faith in the effectiveness of guns on heavy armor.
>>
>>27774499
All it takes is one shot from either of them and we're dead. Also the can divert their attention between us. They also seem quite accurate considering they were surprised by Fresh.

As crazy as it sounds, and as much as I would have wanted the best ending, failure needs to be an option in quests. I actually have respect for a QM that won't pull punches. In my opinion Bath is one of the few that won't, but maybe I just don't read enough quests to know the norm. My last one was RGS.

Probably kicking a dead horse (hue) right now but from a storytelling standpoint, Bath couldnt let us get away with direct confrontation. The point of the quest was partially struggling to survive. If we got bigger guns then the bad guys, the quest would be a pointless shoot'em up. Or maybe we just got bad rolls, but we probably shouldnt have relied on those either. Hindsight etc etc.

I disagree in this case.
CYOAs are not video games, they are narratives.
They are co-written stories involving a group of people investing time and emotion into the setting and characters.
They are slow progressing, taking a long time to get anywhere.
To invalidate the efforts of the players in your endgame because of a number is ridiculous.
If your players have managed to jump through all your hoops and reach the end then yes, you absolutely should cut them some slack.
The only punches you're pulling are the ones you decided to throw anyway.
There's no quick restart, no do overs, just months of trying to achieve something down the drain.
If your players have put a good effort in you should put narrative before numbers.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the post's time codes.
Our time is ahead of hers since it takes an hour or more for a slide that consists of a minute or two in her world. She posted her message >>27783782 in our board and in our time, and the timecode that would go with the post would be ahead of the time any clocks and shit in her world would say it is.
I think you're waiting for something that already happened yesterday.

That's what happens if Buttons or Bath try that, because they are inside the story. Thise restrictions do not apply to TheBathwaterHero, who is still outside the story and still has complete discretionary control over the quest.

Bathwater Hero. Retcon it for her.

Pull the ultimate deus ex machina.

And apparently shooting the boulder above them and causing a rock slide of sorts was the better option,(since we are getting meta as fuck anyways).

>>27790788
>>
>>27790791
But it was based on the role of a die, and there was no way to have known the better option. Also, squezzy might have died, but she at least trully lived for once. She kissed buttons and made the choice to save her friend, it was the right thing to do.

Retcon if dubs, so no one gets mad

>I will try to do what I can to stop the invasion.

But if you fail what will happen to you?

>>27790604
Take me to the alien. If it's controlling the robots then stopping him will stop the invasion.

>>27790837
I think the only way it wouldn't of worked in that case is if they missed the rock. At least they could of ran away they really needed to, even if they did miss.

It happened already and it fucking sucks, a lot. I just thought I'd mention what Bath said. I really wanted Buttons and Squeezy to get their happy ending.
>>
>>27790882
I was also going to suggest that she could of flown up to where the rock/boulder was and got a shot off to make sure it started to tumble down, but It sounded like she was in not much shape to be flying much. So trying that could of been dangerous in itself.

Yes, let's do that. I didn't know her long but... it's the right thing to do...
>>
>>27791008
So it's obvious.

We go back and give Squeezy a happy ending in a different timeline.
We give her a proper burial in this timeline.
>>
>>27791031
I don't think we need to go into all that.
>>27791008
I don't think burying Squeezy will help, maybe we can at least give this mare a good life. Send her to a better world than the one she came from, make sure she has all her material needs taken care of and new friends to meet and support her.

We should. Otherwise many more will likely die if we don't stop them.

>>27791593

write a happy end, then gear up, take the shovel and return to the island to bury a friend. Then afterwards it's time for a little revenge.

What if we have the opposite thing happen in Fresh's timeline and she ends up with her version of Bath and tries to save Buttons?

Also QM it looks like there might be one more thread left for this cyoa to bring it all to conclusion.
>>
I vote we stop the invasion and then bury the body back home if we don't find a way to revive her after the bots are defeated.

>Having destroyed the alien menace Cleaver Buttons and Freshly Squeezed pilot a spacecraft back to Equestria. After becoming the biggest heroes on the planet both of them end up living together in a posh high rise apartment in the best suburb of Canterlot. Both Buttons and Squeezy finally find steady, secure jobs, doing what they wanted to do with their lives, thankful that they both made it out alive and with an unbreakable Friendship that will last even longer than their lives.
The end.

>Buttons types out a good ending to her story and Bath draws a little picture for it.
>The picture isn't the best but Buttons can't keep herself from crying at the sight of it. She's happy that in at least some way Freshly Squeezed gets her happy ending.
>Buttons asks if Bath can help her patch herself up, and he does, wrapping the cuts made by the fishing line and treating some of the cuts from the glass.
>Buttons takes a look at the revolver. It's a snub nosed .38 special that has a guard over the trigger, preventing it from being used by a hoof.
>"I also have a coat or two that you could use if you want. And you can still barrow the car when you go bury your friend."
"I'll think about it. Actually, do you think I would be able to bring Squeezy back home, to Equestria?"
>"Yes, I can give you some directions since, you kinda seem like you want to do this alone. But if you're still going to try to fight the aliens you should know that getting back to Equestria will cost you the ability to go back to the island.
"I don't know if I'm sure about taking them on alone. I don't know if Squeezy would have wanted that."
>"Well whatever you choose, just know that between this house and the island is an open portal, but your portal back home is a one way trip. So right now is the time to make up your mind."

[If the Thread goes to page ten and the Story isn't concluded do we have another Thread tonight?]

Boooooooooooo!!! Seriously, the end of a dieing thread is not a place for this kind of discussion.
>>
>>27791999
It's time for Buttons to go home.
>>
>>27791991
It did outlive one of their lives
>>
>>27791999
Home.
>>
>>27791999
Bring me and Squeezy home.
C-can you make her, uh, more presentable?
>>
>>27792103
>presentable
>>27791999
I think Bath should just push her through the portal to equestria so we don't have to address that.

"I-I think I'm just going to go home."
>"That's fine, Nobody should think any less of you."
"C-can you make Squeezy's body, uh, more presentable?.. Actually, forget I said anything, it's just been a long night. I can still barrow that car right?"
>"Yes, Don't worry about bringing it back, I'll come for it."
"Thanks I guess."
>Bath writes some directions down for Buttons to follow in the car and hands her the keys.
>Buttons finds several archways outside the house that lead to wormholes that take her to the island.
>When Buttons drives up on Squeezy's body the guard robots watch her pull the corpse into the passenger seat. They don't seem to display any hostile intent while Buttons does her work.
>On the way out of the island Buttons makes sure to pick up the Plasma rifles and supplies she had.
>The drive back to Equestria is surprisingly long, but Shortly after taking the path that leads to the Equestrain portal the Celestia's sun begins to rise.
>Buttons doesn't want to be held accountable for Squeezy's death, so she chooses to find a nice spot in the country to bury her. Digging the grave is hard work but Buttons feels that she owes it to her friend.
>After burring the poor mare Buttons takes some time to think about what happened and vows never to forget Freshly Squeezed.
>Buttons hops in the car, rolls down the window and begins her drive home, before she can start warning the world about the invasion.
>"Perhaps Bath will come through", she thinks, but she also knows that she shouldn't just rely on faith.
>Cleaver Buttons has a new life ahead of her, and she knows that it's time for her to start living it.

The Quest is now complete.

Now that the CYOA ia finally over I will take questions and Quest related drawing requests for the remainder of this thread. (however short it may be)

As much as I fucking hate this ending, with a burning passion, I hope you got what you want out of all this. I'm a sucker for things to turn happy, I feel like there is enough misery in the world to make up for all the happy stories I could ever read. But thanks for running it all the same, even if i'm not happy with how it turned out...

I just want an image of Buttons and Squeezed cuddling and being happy.

Was there even a remote chance of fixing things after she died? No matter how convoluted it was? Or I guess a better question is, if you had to think of a way to fix things, what would you do?
>>
>>27792379
Busting through the shed next to the shield generator or just going in the shed and breaking the machines in there would disable the shield on the mouth of the mine. From there, there was a possibility of running into some smaller robots. After that, the alien controller is relitively weak, with a big open part in his armor, protected only by a light shield.

So yes, there was a good chance of success if both Squeezy and Buttons got past that last encounter. Of course, if they succeeded I they would still have to escape the island but there was a ship very close to the island.

Draw nadine hitting you in the head for letting another poner die needlessly.

I want it slap stick and not at all edgy
>>
>>27792414
Where was this place they were at exactly? Was it somewhere on earth?

The invasion, they were aiming at Equestria right? Not earth?

How surreal did it feel to write yourself into it? What exactly did they do to "take your powers" what does that even more specifically?

>>27792435
It's not his fault, I mean sure he COULD of technically just said fuck it and just flipped the whole thing on it's head by giving them dumb luck streaks so they would of easily won. And as much as would of loved to see them have their happy ending, not much point of playing a game if you're just gonna twist it to your own desires when things aren't going as well as you'd hoped. It wasn't in the dice.
>>
>>27792455
This CYOA all took place in the same reality. Buttons and Squeezy never left their own dimension.
The invasion is likely going to involve both dimensions. The aliens recognized the link between players and MCs which is why they were testing the choices made by the players.
As far as how surreal that got... Wierd shit started happening partway through that and I was a little on edge. it was just coincidence and my mind associating non-related shit though, so objectively it was like writing anything else.

>Weird shit started happening partway through that and I was a little on edge.
Care to elaborate on what you mean by that? Was there small pastel horses running around your place or something?
>>
>>27792501
Naw, I just had a thunder storm roll in, the capcha had some strange graphical malfunctions and what I think was a raccoon was stalking around in the bushes near my window.

One more question because I can't really think of much else to ask about, or anything to request. I don't really like making requests cause it feels a bit greedy.

Anyways, are any of the characters gonna show up in any of your other quests? As a cameo or anything more significant.

No idea yet, If I feel like they will fit in a future quest/ project then yes but otherwise no.

Also, still working on >>27792379 [Pic related], it will probably be done after the thread burns out.
>>
>>27792568
I will vicariously imagine what could of been through the image when it's done, thanks.

Me too

It's almost the same time I wake up for work on normal days, I'm going to go pass out.

>>27792476
What would've happen if she had gone back to the island to stop the aliens?
>>
What? Page 11? When did that exist?
>>
>>27793171
it always has

it's just the more elusive of the pages

we are truly dead now

>>27792337
Dang, I wanted to take the fight to the aliens.
>>
>>27792414
Could you draw Buttons moving into a new place and hiding the guns and car for whenever the aliens/robots invade?
>>
>>27792352
Why did the aliens choose bath over any other QM?
>>
>>27792476
>The invasion is likely going to involve both dimensions. The aliens recognized the link between players and MCs which is why they were testing the choices made by the players.

Does this mean there will be a sequel to this where they do invade Equestria?
