>2, that one anon said mean things to me.
well that's fine, I didn't get a chance to over react to Erf's latest medical condition report!

Erf, PLEASE take those antibiotics on schedule. The things will do nothing if not administered properly, I can only hope that idiot doctor of yours is doing right by you.

And I'm still curious-- is the guy 100% sure you have an infection of one type or another as the root of your systemic inflammation?

I mean, if so, I could offer you some nutritional guidelines to accelerate your healing. All simple stuff, but I know how people cringe at medical advice unasked for.

>>28517731
Nope! We made it past the bump limit this time!

>>28517808
WHAT AN AMAZING UPDATE

GUESS WHAT BUDDIBOI?

Dadonequus First Interlude Part Two ~ Roughly Around Noon of The First Day

>Be you
>Be fabulous
>Be smiling
>Be just finished conversing with a rather absent-minded noble mare to your left.
>Be Rarity.
>Be gently laying on a soft mat laid under the great sprawling boughs of an oak tree. Simply gazing at the oak tree leaves you in a subtle sort of reverence, the massive trunk towering over you and your companions, strapped and girdled in a tough, thick bark that would put most guard armor to shame. The trunk gently split into shafts, which transitioned into branches, from which sprouted deep and healthy green.
>It was the sort of tree that, when you were a filly, you used to hide under after a rainstorm and imagine there was some sort of strange, occult, otherworldly might hidden just underneath the sheet of bark.
>It was an ancient tree, one that was most likely a sapling while Canterlot was new.
>You absentmindedly smile while watching the rays of light peek through the deep and dark boughs above, and occasionally crown a lucky leaf in golden filigree.
>Oh you simply had to schedule another get together with Fluttershy. Ever since the little dear took you on a walk through Whitetail Woods and you saw, for the first time since your fillyhood, the quiet beauty and tranquility that can be found in nature, you have been quite taken with nature-gazing.

>>28518109
>How fortunate that you were where you are.
>Idly perusing the scenery, you can see wave after wave of soft, lush green grass surrounding you, many varieties of flora sprouting from the small rolling hills. Around the mighty oaks, were dotted the lively and kind mountain-ashes, bundled with red fruit and dancing leaves. The occasional Alder could be seen standing guard among a group of healthy and robust box trees. The mighty oaks stood lordly over all that they purveyed, only excelled in gentleness and beauty by the poplar tree framing a few paths, and the willows tending and seemingly nursing the babbling streams that they gaze over. The elm and the holly, the birch and the lime, the diversity of the more solid flora hinting nothing to the sheer variety and kinds of herbs and flowers and shrubs; each adding in their own cordoned off ecosystems soft and vibrant colors to delight the eyes, and every patch of plant blending their own subtle fragrance into the air, so as to soothe the lungs and the mind.
>And that’s just the background scenery, to say nothing of the ornamental stands and attractive tarps, under and in which showcased the finest works of every pony who attended. The twinkling and thrumming and pulsing of far off musicians teasing your ear and the barest scents of different delights that chefs summoned wafting into your nose.

>Be in Eastern Canterlot’s very own Art in the Park.
>Well, one of them at any rate.
>Art in the Park is such a lovely tradition, started two centuries ago.
>Artists in this city used to gather in sessions in the park, inspiring and feeding off of each other’s energy. Eventually it turned into a festival each year, where artists would showcase their best work, musicians would improvise with their peers, and chefs would prepare delicious meals for others to enjoy.
>The best of all the arts, right in one place, in nature.

>>28518120
>The genius part was that the festival took place over a couple of weeks, allowing anypony who wanted to make it to do so, and for the scenery to not be too crowded.
>This particular Art in the Park was unique, as it was hosted and funded by Fancy Pants, whom you were currently in the company of, along with a few other ponies. He had a rather generous idea to open up the Eastern Park and Botanical Gardens for the general public. Naturally not everypony would be able to enter, to ensure that the beauty and tranquility of the park be preserved. You of course thought this was reasonable, thinking back on the inconsideracy of quite a few ponies you knew, a couple of them among your friends. Naturally the other nobles insisted on bouncers and the like, and Fancy Pants agreed.

>Fancy Pants truly is a unique stallion isn’t he?
>You set your gaze on him while he speaks to a younger noble filly, who was eagerly listening to a rather animated story he was conveying.
>Ignoring of course his physical attributes and appearance, and when it came to appearance, there were few finer...
>He isn’t much at all like the other affluents, even though he was born and raised among them, something was different in him.
>Whether that something was located in his nature, or the nurturing his parents gave him, that is a debate to have with Twilight. Although…
>You don’t notice the filly’s mother come by and take her away, however you do notice Fancy’s attention turning to you.
>”Yes Ms. Rarity? Do I have something on my face?”
>You start, realizing you were staring.
“I, er, I apologize, I was just thinking…”
>”Hm? About what?”
>He didn’t seem to be teasing, nor was that an absent minded reply for the sake of propriety, but rather a genuine curiosity as to your state of mind.
>Another rarity in the upper class.

>>28518133
“Well, when you were speaking to that young filly, and, well considering this whole affair around us, the Art in the Park that is… You don’t act very much at all like the other nobles I’ve met. I was wondering why that is.”
>He smiles a strange sort of smile, and stands up.
>”Yes, well I must say I am feeling quite a bit peckish as it were. You see, a family friend is running a booth over there, by the gazebo. How about we talk whilst we walk, hm?”
>Well your hind hoof is starting to fall asleep…
“That sounds lovely.”
>”And for all of you, would you care to come with us?”
>As the rest of the nobles reclining on the mat voiced their dissent, you and Fancy trot the lengthy path towards the refreshment area, occasionally stepping out of the way of a family.
>”Well you see Ms. Rarity, my father, the great stallion that he was… Did you know he began the Western Canterlot reclamation program that I’ve gathered some fame for? The very same. Well, his mother was an immigrant from Prance, and as they are a rather sentimental lot, certain morals and traditions were ingrained in my father and his siblings. He had a unique view on wealth, and it’s uses. He claimed wealth was only worth what you did with it. You can’t take gold with you when you depart you see, only the effects you have on the world around you truly matter. You can hoard your wealth and good fortune and inevitably lose all of it, or you could invest and build up the community around you. Albeit in an intelligent manner, of course.”

>You and Fancy walk past an arrangement of boulders surrounding a rather slim tree.
>”Not to deride the prosperous who prefer to keep their money within the family, it is their decision and their property to do with as they like after all. I believe that demanding the same altruism of them would make me a strange sort of thief… Although that may just be me.”
>After you and Fancy step aside for an elderly stallion, he turns to you and smiles.

>>28518148
>”So, most of my redeeming qualities I can’t take any credit for, that belongs to my father, and by extension his mother, and by further extrapolation the poor conditions she grew up in.”
>As you both continue on your way, you come across the art exhibits, full of inspired and beautiful, uplifting things. Although, you can’t help but notice his smile twitch and drop the most miniscule amount.
>He says, breathy, almost like a sigh,
>”I do miss them.”
>Oh, no. You can’t have that.
>You stop and put a hoof on his withers, and offer an encouraging smile.
“Now, now, I’m certain they are very proud of what you have accomplished. Think of all the lives you have touched, I’m certain a few of them at the very least have been inspired to pass it on.”
>That seems to have done the trick, as his smile seems to grow far warmer.
>”Thank you Ms. Rarity, you certainly are a gem.”
>Fancy Pants, complimenting you? Even though he extends this sort of courtesy to most ponies, you can’t help but titter.
>Doesn’t matter whether or not he was saying it to be polite, it made you feel special.
“Oh, well I wouldn’t go that far, but thank you.”
>”Oh but I am serious Ms. Rarity. If I must confess something, the first time we met I had no idea you were one of the Elements of Harmony. You’ve done great things for Equestria, far more than my family or my associates have.”
>Your face heats up and you feel a little more bubbly.
“W-well I don’t know about all that… Simply there at the right time at the right place you know? I’m certain any other pony would have done the same…”
>He just smiles an odd sort of smile.
>”Perhaps, but doubtful. I understand that you only designed dresses before the Nightmare Moon incident? And to stand there among near total strangers… That takes bravery.”

>How did he know that?

>>28518159
“I’m sorry, but how did you know those-er-details?”
>He just laughs.
>”I ran into your little friend Ms. Pinkie Pie around a month ago, I believe she was visiting some sort of a convention?”
“Oh.”
>”Yes, I remembered her of course, from the little soiree in the gardens.”
>You giggle.
“She does make quite an impression doesn’t she?”
>”Yes, hm, I inquired as to your state of affairs, and after a few tangents she was more than eager to relate to me all the details of quite a few of your adventures. Extensively relate.”
“Yes, that does sound like her…”
>”Well, the point of all of this, is I want to extend an invitation to you.”
>Another? Oh you haven’t done anything in Canterlot for quite a while!
“Oh? To what exactly?”
>”Well, a few family members are holding a little get together in the Castle Gardens, a couple of uncles, and- well I believe you have already met my sister.”
>Sister? when did you-
“Sister?”
>”Yes, Fleur-de-Lis.”
>WAIT WHAT
>SHE’S HIS SISTER?
“She’s ah, your sister? I thought…”
>”Oh? Oh! No no no, We are rather close, but that’s simply how we were raised. Grandmother was always insistent on the importance of family. However, you aren’t the first pony to think we are -otherwise- related.”
“I’ll say, she’s practically glued to your side.”
>He chuckles.
>”She is a very cuddly pony, you should see her around the little nieces and nephews, which, and what a convenient segue, you would see if you were to accompany me to our little get-together.”
“What sort of ponies would be there?”
>”Just family, and their some-ponies, it is a very cozy affair, not nearly all the pomp and circumstance related to-ah?”
>Fancy Pants looks back to see you frozen to your spot.
>Family, and their some-ponies.
>some-ponies
That implies...
theu-
e
bleugha-
…

>>28518174
…
Is he?
Is this?
He’s interested in you? In that way?
He couldn’t
But is he?
What did he mean by this?
>”Ms. Rarity, is something the matter?”
“N-no.”

>Ah, I hope I wasn’t too forward then? I would love to see you more often you understand, a mare like you is a true rarity, pun not intended.”
HE WAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>You can feel a huge grin overtake your face, as your soul bursts into fireworks.
“YES. I MEAN NO. THAT’S FINE, YOU’RE FINE. WELl-you’re more than fine, I just meant…”
>You dropped your volume as you realize you startled Fancy Pants and several ponies around you.
>You clench your voice so as to not attract attention.
“I would absolutely love, love, love! Love! To go with you, to the thing, the soiree. Yes!”
>He bursts into full-belly laughter.

>Oh no! He wasn’t pulling a prank on you was he?
>No, that isn’t like him.
>Right?
>”I’m very glad, well, It’s happening this Saturday in the Castle Gardens, as everypony is in town for the Art Festivals, is that alright?”
“Anything is fine. Schedule is free. Alway-I mean, I suppose I could reschedule a few things, that would be fine. Yes.”
>Well, you would have to head back to Ponyville today to finish a couple of orders, and spend money on a train ticket back into Canterlot, but other than that…
>How wonderful!
>One of the most exceptional stallions in all of Equestria? Interested in you?
>And not only exceptional in his history of philanthropy and taste, but…
>He was -very- handsome, wasn’t he?
>You can’t help but dance on your hooves and quietly squee as Fancy Pants turns around. As you both continue, you come around the bend to find a crowd surrounding…

>>28518182
>”And in conclusion, you little jackanapes are a bunch of fucking plebs with shit taste, and you all can take turns sucking my poet dic-Oh! Is that who I think it is over there?”
>Surrounded by murmuring ponies was Discord, the very spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, wearing thick glasses frames, a plaid scarf, and a plum beret.
>He jumped up in the air, pulling out opera glasses and peering to where you and Fancy were standing.
>You could hear bits and pieces of conversation surrounding him floating over to you.
>”Discord, tasteless as ever, what kind of an idiot wears glasses without lenses?”
>”I love his sense of fashion!”
>”Who does this freak-show think he is?”
>”I mean, he was rude, sure… But he was rude with such -authority-. What if he’s right?”
>”Hey! Hey big sis! What does ‘fucking’ mean?”
>”I don’t know, but I kind of like the sound of it…”
>The opera glasses explode, and he spins in the air, and holding his arms out to you he continues.
>”Oh it is! It is who I think it is! Rarity! My friend, whom I associate with, and I with her! She’s on the same level socially as me! Hi friend!”

>Your eye twitches.

>Discord, why now? He was gone, you thought you were safe.
>Why is it that every time you try to improve your meagre station in life, he shows up? And for Celestia’s sake, you were with Fancy Pants!
>And he asked you out on a d-d-d-d-d-daaaaate!
>You are cursed.
>This confirms it.

>He winds through the air like the awful spastic sidewinder he is, and lands in front of you, picking you up in his coarse paws, he hugs you while throatily chortling.
>”Oh hoh ho, no, I’m just kidding, she absolutely loathes me! But how are you Rare-bear?”
>A shiver runs up your spine at that infernal nickname.
“Fine, just. Fine, darling…”
>You breathe in and-
>Nearly lose your lunch.
>Did he put on fish-scented cologne?

>>28518198
>You blink.
>Rarity, hold this together.
>You can recover this.
>You have to.
“Ah, but you’re back from your little, vacation, or I suppose it was quite lengthy. How was it?”
>”Oh it was a complete disappointment, well, except for one or two things…”
>He glares around, and leans down to conspiratorially whisper in your ear.
>”Don’t tell anypony else, but I got you all souvenirs. I want it to be a surprise, so don’t tell a soul…”
>Souvenirs?
>From Discord?
“Mhm, well I will try, but you know how I am with gossip…”
>Darling that just raises seventeen different shades of red flags.
>”But aren’t you going to introduce me to your mustachioed colt-friend here?”
>Oh please Celestia no.
>Why did he have to phrase it like that?
>Why?
“Yes, Fancy Pants, this is my… Good friend Discord. Discord, this Is Fancy Pants.”
>You sigh under your breath as you smile at the two of them.
>Oh could some unknown spirit just smite you now. That was horrible. What happened to your verbosity?
>As dear Pinkie would say, ‘this is cringetasteriffic!’.
>Euuuughhhh.
>”Ah Discord, I heard from Princess Celestia herself a great deal about the work you do protecting Equestria. I must say, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
>What?
>Even Discord’s eyes widened at that.
>He’s not even phased.
>Fancy Pants isn’t phased.
>You begin to feel a few droplets of sweat dot your maneline.
>No darling!
>Discord will just take that as a challenge!
>You must-
>Discord sets you down.
>No!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO\arojg34p39ihhoad;n
>You turn up and look at Discord with pleading eyes.
>Please, please, please don’t ruin this one, not this one, PLEASE.
>You feel tears begin to peek out, as Discord ignores you completely.
Whhhyyyyyyyyy?
>”Well, that’s surprising I must say, not many ponies hear about that.”
>Please don’t- er- what?
>”I must say it’s nice to be appreciated every once in awhile…”

…

>>28518208
>”Oh, well I can imagine, ponies are a rather suspicious lot, aren’t we?”
>Discord smiles, genuinely?
>That was one of the smiles he reserves for Fluttershy!
>What is happening here?
>”Well I must say, this entire day is turning out far better than I expected! Rarity, I just wanted to pop in and let you know I’m back, and also…”
>He suddenly lashes forward and whispers into your ear.
>”Your gift is waiting for you in the basement of Carousel Boutique, I would give it to you here, but there are too many ponies around you see, it would put a huge target on your head for any unscrupulous ponies that may be around, and there are three of them in that crowd behind me.”

…
>Assuming that was true, how would he know that?
>Chaos powers?
>Could he read minds?

>He leans back up and stretches, pulling off his accessories, balling them up, and tossing them into a sort of portal that appeared behind him.
>”Oh and don’t worry Rarity, it’s an actual gift from me. Not a joke. By your earlier reaction I suppose I’ve pulled one or two too many on you, which depending on the joke I may or may not be sorry for, as some of them were classics, but...”
>Bowing, he continues.
>”I must say, it’s been a pleasure, both meeting you Mr. Pants and seeing you once more. Arrivederci!”
>He falls backward, and phases into the ground, out of sight.
>”Hmm, not at all like what I’ve heard about him…”
“That's, not at all like what I’ve seen from him.”
>Discord, being bearable? Being considerate even?
>A warmth glows from inside you.
>Seems this is just a day full of surprises.

>>28518224
https://youtu.be/Yzs9WSyZKTg
>Be you
>Be yawning.
>Be smug.
>Be Discord.
>Be laying on top of one of the shops surrounding the market.
>Rarity really knows how to pick ‘em, you will admit.
>You could practically see the sickly sweet affection blossoming like a deluded flower between them when you landed in front of them
>As you look at a pegasus frantically alter his course upon seeing you, you idly wonder if it will work out between them.
>Then you stop.
>Because you remember you know absolutely nothing about relationships.
>Time for the last pony on your list before Fluttershy.
>You slap yourself on the face a few times to psyche yourself up.

>Applejack hates you.
>Hates you.
>And makes no secret of it.
>It’s no surprise that the little creators of that tiny knock-off show censored that part.
>She could get downright nasty if you confronted her alone.
>Well, all you have to do is seem like you’re making a genuine effort to improve, and not let her get to you.
>She had a way of doing that.
>Perhaps it was the Element of Honesty working through her.
>Honesty was your least favorite Element.
>Being realistic, Applejack was probably going to be either the easiest to work on in this little charade of yours, given her own orphanhood; or she will be the biggest thorn in your side.
>Most likely the latter.
>All the more likely if you seem like you’re avoiding her.
>She fashions herself a lie detector, and will take any hesitance on your part as an admission of guilt.
>Of course your own chaotic power counters this ability innate ability considerably, to her own chagrin.
>You smile up at a passing cloud.
>Actually, if you could convince everyone else except her, perhaps you could drive them apart-
>No.
>Stop.
>She’s still a friend of Fluttershy. And you will begrudgingly admit she’s free to make her own friends.
>Otherwise she would just be a toy.

>>28518238
>You could summon a thousand toys, create a thousand ponies, and none of them would compare to the genuine friendship she generously extended to you.
>Just-
>You would probably kill for her at this point. And you hated killing things.
>Warping and changing things sure, you were even partial to putting pins and cords through their limbs and making them tap dance like puppets for your amusement, but never killing them.
>She opened up an entire new world for you, unlocked the finer and more positive emotions.
>Emotions which you couldn’t reliably call upon or even coexist with half the time, but every time you were with her they acted like the finest balm on your soul.
>You had no idea such things were even possible, considering all the mortals who held love and affection in such high regard as simple and deluded.
>How to compare these new feelings to your familiar repertoire…
>They were finer, like a soft mist made of light, compared to your old, colder and roiling hate and cruelty.
>Well, those emotions still hold a good deal of sway over you, so you couldn’t rightly call them ‘old’.
>But you did make a great deal of progress.
>It’s just so hard to be ‘good’, especially when half the time you have no idea what that means.
>But you promised to try for Fluttershy
>Why couldn’t any of these little horses see that?
>Or maybe they did, and they hated you for not being like them, not being able to ‘get it’ as they intuitively do.
>They were quite fond of calling you a monster after all.

>A fire bursts inside your gullet and you clench your fist hard enough to fracture and dislocate the bones inside your lion paw.
>Grimacing, you stop yourself.
>Don’t want to have another relapse.
>Fluttershy would disown you if she ever learned what you almost did to that Ursa Major.
>Good thing Luna understood.
>And more importantly, could keep a secret.

>>28518249
>You idly look at your paw, and with the barest thought, mend it back to perfect health
>Sometimes you felt like one of those chimpanzees trying to learn to be human.
>If only it were as easy as on that little show.
>One little friendship lesson, and you’re nothing more than ‘that guy’ at your worst.
>Nope.
>It seems as though you have to wade through a swamp of your past deeds and thoughts in order to…
>You don’t know, ‘purify’ yourself? Would that be the right word?
>You did feel like you were shedding all sorts of cruel tendencies over time.
>Whatever.
>Wade through a swamp of your past deeds, the size of Equus, in order to…

>Get to where Fluttershy is.
>That was it.
>You felt like such a coarse and calloused beast when you were before her, but she takes you in and cares for you genuinely all the same.
>What did you do to deserve her...

>You sigh.
>No point putting this off then.
>While you also should talk to Pinkie Pie, you don't want to.
>Not after dealing with Applejack.
>Pinkie Pie had a way of drawing you in for literally hours at a time.
>You had to watch over Anon after all.
>You rotate your body up to a standing position rather stiffly and walk to the front of the shop, looking out over the market-place…
>Past the sea of ponies wandering past all the stalls and all the tarps and all the shops…
>There she was, just standing there.
>Selling apples.
>Because honestly, why do anything else with your life besides kicking trees, selling apples, and occasionally putting on a necklace-
>You slap yourself, and breathe in and out.
>Put what Fluttershy taught you to work Discord.
>Behave yourself.
>You stop with all the pomp and circumstance, forgoing any funny or interesting ways to sneak up on her or travel there, and just teleport to the space above her.
>Just get this over with.

>>28518261
“Good day to you Applejack!”
>Be polite, and maybe she will be polite, be polite and maybe she will be polite, be polite-

>”Ah, it’s you. What’re ya doin’ up there?”
>Your eye twitches as you feel the mental sucker-punch of disdain come up from beneath you.
>Well, it’s been a few seconds, and there hasn’t been any sort of ‘varmint’ or ‘freak’ or ‘animal’ from her so far, so this is going fairly alright, for a one on one conversation with her.
>You answer her as you float on down to the front of her stand.
“Well, approaching from the front is too boring, I still remember your reflexes from the last time I startled you from behind, and coming from underground might be coming on too strong.”
>”So yer back.”
>Keeping things simple aren’t we? Well that’s quite agreeable, it will get things over with all the more quickly.
“Yes I am, and I simply thought, now that we’ve spent some months apart after last time, perhaps I could stop by on a more friendly note, yes?”
>A wave of anger rises up as you mention your last argument.
>Oh, why did you put that bad memory in her mind Discord, now it’s going to color the rest of the conversation… You’re supposed to be more clever than this…
>Actually, you regret bringing it up, and technically you regret that argument happening- mostly because it makes your next move with Anon more difficult, but still- that’s an honest emotion. You can use that to ease the situation.
>Assuming she doesn’t just ignore it.
>You bow.
“My apologies for bringing that up again. I do want to say I regret that was the last note I left you on-”
>”What about making my apples bleed?”
“And- er”
>That’s right, you did make her apples produce blood and scream about her killing them as a joke, didn’t you?
>The look on her face was still hilarious to you, so hell no you weren’t, but...
>You grimace and look away.
>You needed this to work.

>>28518273
>You sigh.
“Yes, I suppose while I found it funny at the time, I can see how it was inappropriate. For the record…”
>You look her straight in the eye and focus on selling this next part.
“I am truly sorry for that. Now that I had some time to think on it, I can see how it could traumatize a pony. It was… Very inconsiderate of me.”
>You lean on her counter and look off to a few mares who were eavesdropping, who now pretend to act busy sweeping the front of their shop door. One of them using window cleaner on a flower.
>You will have to remember to stop by and poke fun at them for that.
“I’m still having a great deal of trouble over this, ‘being good’ business. And not too long ago I first figured out why I should even care about it…”
>You turn to her, focusing on conjuring every relevant, genuine emotion to put into this.
“I can quite honestly tell you now, I grow tired of us butting heads, and I only want us to get along from now on.”
>Now that was certainly true.
“While I don’t expect us to become as close as I am to Fluttershy, or even very good friends, I don’t want us to hate each other.”
>You straighten yourself up and level your gaze at her, saying, in all seriousness,
“On my travels, something happened that I don’t exactly feel comfortable saying right now, but it gave me a sort of, new perspective on Equestria...”
>Very true. The perspective of a neckbeard from another universe obsessing on one of your friends is a unique one indeed.
“I feel as if it’s time I put my all into turning over a new leaf, this time for every pony in all of Equestria to see. I don’t want to be seen as the ex-tyrant whom, for some unknown reason is tolerated in society, I want to show the world I’m capable of something more. And perhaps after, who knows? I may just be wanted. But for here, er, right here and now, I want to start by offering you a paw in friendship.”

stop shitposting and update already you tard

>>28518287
>You put your paw out in front of her, and you see the indecision start to rise up and color the anger and distrust of you, inside her.
>She chews on the inside of her lip as she looks at your paw.
>Oh please, please, please, PLEASE buy it.
“That’s it. No tricks this time. Simply a truce. I promise to not pull any pranks or mischief on you or your family and behave myself on Sweet Apple Acres, and will treat you with respect. All I ask in turn is your respect.
>She looks in your eyes, and seriously looks at you, no longer with the same barely bridled rage as before.
>It’s a serious and distrusting look, but it carries no malice.

>>28518302

Oh good, the meme is evolving.

>>28518304

>You grin and nod, picking up your paw and offering it once more.
“Of course, naturally.”
>She looks at your paw and you can feel her second guessing herself.
>”I reckon this might be a bad idea, but alright. And if you step one hoof or gator leg or whatever limb you happen to have at the time onto Apple land and ya don’t behave yourself, well I consider it a breach of trust. I’m trustin’ ya here Discord. This is me, puttin’ my neck and name out on the line for ya. Don’t make me regret it, ya hear?”
>She puts her hoof out and firmly shakes your paw.
>SUCCESS
>You feel a tidal wave of relief flood over you from the now huge crowd of ponies who stopped their business to stare at what was happening.
>Also… a bright spear of joy peeking out?
>Who was that?
>Oh well, you can worry about that after this.
“I wouldn’t dream of it Miss Applejack.”
>She quirks an eyebrow at this.
>”-Miss- Applejack? Well that’s a new one…”
>She trails off as she peers around you.

>And you feel a pony slam into your back, hugging you tightly.
>This hug, the particular wavelength acting as a sort of mental signature, you know this pony.
>YOU KNEW THIS PONY.
>You rotate your appendages around to look down at the smiling butter-yellow pegasus below.
>Your heart leaps up into your throat and starts doing backflips.
“Fluttershy!”

>>28518325

>”Discord! You’re back!”
>She wiggles and smiles up at you with those large, expressive eyes of hers.
>”I heard everything! Well, almost everything, but I’m so proud of you!”
>She is?
>She is!
>You mean, technically you weren’t doing it for the reasons she thought you were… But…
>A pit settles into your third stomach.
>You then delete your third stomach from existence, as it always annoys you and you never use it.
>You were doing good objectively, it didn’t matter the motive.

>”How was your vacation?”
“Oh, a whole lot of looking around, whole lot of boredom, except for one world I went to.”
>”Oh? What happened there?”
>She stopped hugging you, and moved back to hover in front of you.
“Well I ran into somepony who needed help, that’s what! Saved them too!”
>”Oh Discord! I’m just so proud of you!”
>And you did! You saved Anon too!
>You puff your chest out a tiny, nearly unnoticeable bit.
>Your past self would hurl at how much you place importance on Fluttershy, but this little saint has given you so much, completely redefined the way you thought of relationships with other ponies, given you an entire spectrum of emotions and experiences that you couldn’t even imagine before.
>It means a great deal that she’s proud of you to say the least.
>”What happened though?”
“Well-”
>Just before you excitedly spoil everything you stop yourself.
>You do have a job to do here, don’t you?
“Well… It isn’t my story to tell, he might be embarrassed about a few parts, however, it suffices to say he was about to make a very bad, very permanent decision…”
>Your expression starts to drop.

>How did that little human’s life get that bad?
>You had to intervene when he was on the bridge, you never got to finish his story. All you knew of was up until he left for college.
>And at that point, he was still that dynamo, uprooting boredom and giving excitement to everyone, whether by friendship or by mischief.
>Things were looking up!
>What happened to him?

>>28518290
DUDE. STOP. Just FUCKING update already!

>>28518337
>You notice a painful twinge near your heart, and you stop.
>What was that?
>You’ve never felt that before
>The hell?

>Applejack gasps behind you while Fluttershy looks on in confusion.
>”Y-ya don’t mean…”
“Oh I mean…”
>”What? What do you mean?”
>Dear innocent Fluttershy.
“He was planning to perform a high dive when he didn’t know how to swim…”
>”But…”
>Her eyes widen and she gasps.
>”Oh! Oh, that’s terrible!”

>”Now why would somepony go and do a fool thing like that?”
>You could strangely feel regret and shame coming from Applejack.
>Hey now, what’s that about?
“Oh, believe me, I wish I knew…”
>And you plan to find out.
“But he has yet to tell me. Of course even I can tell that sort of thing is personal…”
>”Has yet to- Discord did you bring him here?”
>... You didn’t even plan to let that part out.
>You will have to guard yourself around Fluttershy.
>You gasp.
“But of course! Leaving him where he was would have solved nothing! Probably would have just made things worse if I left afterwards, making him think he was crazy. My dear, you didn’t see how he was living, simply awful! I had to do something! Simply had to!”
>”W-well how do the Princesses feel about all this? You are still on probation…”
>Right, of course she wouldn’t want you to get in trouble, the little sweet. You reach out a paw and rub her behind the ears.
“Oh don’t worry about them, I’ll bring him by the castle later and explain everything. Don’t worry, I’m certain they will agree. Oh, do you want to meet him?”
>”Really? Well I would like to, if only to make sure he’s alright…”
“Well he’s still settling in. But I can bring him by in, well, let’s say two days, how about Thursday?”

>>28518348
I'm trying, but the urge to shitpost is too strong!

>>28518359
>”Now hold on a second, I would like to meet this fool colt. I mean, I figure he would like somepony to talk to about it…”
>Wow, WOW she is torn up Clashes of red and deep oily black and brown flash from inside her.
>Now you have to know.
>But not now.
>You just got on, well, more like you got off of her bad side.
>Can’t pry yet.
“Naturally.”
>”Alright then What’s his name?”
“He is Anonymous”
>”Well Discord, if ya don’t want to share his name all ya have to do is say so…”
>You can’t help but laugh.
“No,no, his name -is- Anonymous.”

>Now Fluttershy speaks up.
>”Oh. That’s a weird name… Oh! Don’t tell him I said that, oh he was probably bullied for that, and I jus-”
>You hated it when she got like this. You reach out and hug her.
“Now, now, don’t fret, nopony was hurt. Now, as much as I would love to stay here and catch up all day, I have a few… responsibilities to see to. Can’t exactly leave him alone like this right? But how about we meet up in the usual place at the usual time Fluttershy? I’ll bring him along to meet you. Again, this Thursday?”
>”Of course, do what you need to, I understand.”

“And Applejack, I don’t want to overwhelm him, I think it’s best that we take it one pony at a time, yes? I don’t think he could handle more than one quite honestly, and I want him to be at least sort of comfortable for this…”
>She re-appraises you.
>”That sounds mighty reasonable. I’ll be selling in town on Thursday, so just bring him by sometime alright?”

>>28518378

Fuck, forgot tripcode. It's the app I'm using, have to enter it in every time.

>You clap your hands.
"Oh! And that reminds me! Speaking of overwhelming, make sure Pinkie Pie holds off on any parties for right now. I would tell her myself, but I really don't have the time..."
>"Well, alright, but ya know how she gets..."

“Do try.”

>You were certainly going to pay for not greeting Pinkie Pie when you came into town, but...
>Today is just wonderful!
>Minus dragging Anon through the Subjective and nearly breaking his mind, but besides!
>This turned out better than you could have hoped!
>”And Discord, before ya leave…”
>She looks thoughtful at some of her apples and turns back to you.
>”Seems like ya’ll are taking good care of ‘em. Good on ya.”
>She nods.
>Well! Seems like you got her approval!

>You warp away back to the cloud fortress.
>You see the deceptively tiny green colt, greedily guzzling from a fountain you honestly forgot you summoned.

>You grin as you rapidly descend like a missile towards him, and you startle Anon into choking on some water once you do land.

>Let’s see if you can keep her approval once she actually meets him, eh?

>>28518394
And that's it for this part, already working on the next interlude, which features a little luncheon with the Mane Six while Anon is training on his second day. Please give some feedback, not only for my benefit, but also to put some life into this thread and avoid the fate the last two fell to.

>>28518814
Because he lacks any degree of control in his own life and takes out his own feelings of inadequacy on people on the internet under the guise of being contrarian and 'contributing'

Yeah? Well you satirically poke fun at me for not having a computer, while I was just harshly criticizing his entire existence that led to him being contrarian on an anonymous image board. Clearly you are the true bully.

Besides, I wasn't serious, that gives me full clearance to be nasty and cruel to whoever I want.

But seriously, that kind of shitposting always irked me.

Damn it Gummy, that was fucking delicious green right there.

I almost see where the Discord Tantrum went; reduced to a fine grain from what-- perhaps--was an ocean of broken glass and shattered ponies.

And I see your desire to deliver something refined. Your flowery writing is a damn fine delight to the brain. The Rarity bit I enjoyed especially, fucking cute.

Also, when are you updating? I mean, fuck, dude, it's been hours already. Get on with it!

>>28519294
You are a mean. A big mean. Even if you do update, I will be the upset. And when I am the upset, oh boy...

But in all seriousness, when are you getting that PC? I want to bully you hardcore.
And when am I going to update? There's no point in explaining something no one has interest in. But if you insist, I'm doing some tweaking to my story.

>>28517731
Sugar, I'm leaving you for Sunset Poster, because he/she/it actually appreciates me.

>>28519323
Thank you, it does mean a good deal to read your feedback. I do want more than anything to produce something refined and uplifting in whatever art I end up following, the only problem is my inexperience and lack of discipline corrupt it so to speak. It's one of the reasons why I decided to write in a semi anonymous manner and get 'objective' feedback, so as to practise.

When Discord mentions an encounter with an Ursa Major, he references the original tantrum, which took place after an altercation with Applejack. Originally the day was supposed to go phenomenally, only for Applejack to derail it and Discord be unable to reach Fluttershy to calm him down, causing him to blow up in the Everfree. Afterwards, a little bonding moment would happen with Luna who also regresses from time to time. Now this may be reworked into the story at one point, especially the bonding moment with Luna, but it simply didn't fit with the tone of the story and seriously, I MEAN SERIOUSLY puts off the reader from Discord. Simply not an option when he's the second main character in the story.

If you're curious about what was so creepy about the tantrum, I put a hint in where Discord shatters his own hand by clenching it and repairing it with nary a second thought. You may also reference the scene where Discord's power acts up while he is distracted with sneaking up on Twilight.

>>28519470
Probably not for a long time, important car repairs need to be done then emergency fund must be refilled.

Also I want to see you write your story. Yeah, besides a few Anons and writefags, people don't get much feedback in this thread, so what? Ya gotta write because you want to.
I seriously look forward to seeing what you come up with.

>>28519750
Oh babe, I was asking about the Anonfilly thread. As for your update, I'll read it later tonight

>>28519797
Well, more like finish to read it. I'm past the Rarity part and I gotta say, while I do acknowledge that it's interesting and somewhat cute (despite fancy pants being like double her age) I still get weirded out when I see actual words. Especially from Discord, but maybe it's the Star Trek fan in me who still sees Discord as the cartoon Q, and Q never cursed in TNG, Voyager or DS9

>>28519750
Half the fun is watching people enjoy what I write and being entertained. Without that, only fun I get is the writing. I have more important things to do than write, and if I'm not constantly being pressured, I have no point in constantly updating.
Hopefully after Saturday once I get some personal matters settled, stress will subside and I can... Maybe enjoy a couple of months without any tension and write on my free time.

>>28519830
>I still get weirded out when I see actual words

Well it sounds like it was a poor decision to become a writefag then, huh?

>>28519836
I understand completely.

>>28519863
>Well it sounds like it was a poor decision to become a writefag then, huh?
No, my fear shall be conquered. But anyways, fucking phone. Seriously mang, that's the only aspect of your story that I'm not getting used to. Characters using curses, actual, real human world curses

>>28519863
words means things

>>28519902
Well worry not. It is literally just Discord cheating his way around cussing by using other worlds' curse words (you will see other universes versions of cussing soon, I'm explaining it now because we haven't gotten far enough for Discord to explain it to Anon, and he will find it disagreeable. I've thought this out since the lost update.) and the only other character to use it will be in Anon's thoughts. It may be used occasionally as a gag to show how ponies never use the words and don't know what they mean because they are so innocent, but that's the extent of it.

Also my phone autocorrected 'in' to 'I N' and I really don't know if I can trust this thing anymore.

>You looked upon the horror that was laid out in front of you.
>An entire factory of some sort, more modern looking and chromed up than anything you've ever seen. Pipes, gears, and some early looking factory control boards.
>The alarm didn't seem to be blaring in here either.
>Diamond Dogs, garbed in silver armor and faceless helmets watched over the workers of the Factory. The workers themselves looked worn and tired. They were doing everything from managing and cleaning the machines, running the controls, and going into a cave crafted further ahead to go and mine. Some were even doing maintenance.
>And the workers themselves?
"Foals?...Holy crap...Are we in the mechanized Temple of Doom? How did this happen?!"
>Applejack had trouble looking ahead, lowering her head in shame and taking the time to compose herself before speaking. "This ain't ah temple. It's ah nightmare. All of these foals are orphans, taken to work in this here factory. The public don't have ah clue that this kind ah place exists.Now, all ya gotta do is just keep a low profile and these low down boneheads won't bark at ya"
>"I wouldn't say a nightmare...but" Chrysalis took notice that some of the foals seemed quite skilled in what they were doing. As Applejack led them across the floor. She also couldn't help notice a gigantic blue energy kept within a sphere of glass, tubed attached to the glass as if it's feeding it energy. It was high up on what seemed to be the third floor. A gigantic metal door stood directly below the blue energy. Closed. You three walk by it. "I noticed these foals seem rather skilled for being so young. Is there a reason for that? And what's with that?" She points to the blue energy orb.
>You noticed Chrysalis was rather calm and collected for what was going on right now. You found the whole thing deplorable.
".....We're here to stop this you know, it doesn't matter how they got skilled at....whatever they are doing"

>>28521432
>Chrysalis notes that you were actually affected by what you were seeing. and promptly ignores it. "I think it'd help if we knew. It's not everyday you see a successful enslavement working so smoothly."
>Applejack looks at Chrysalis, she was feeling too terrible to really think upon Chrysalis's words. If she was more calm. She'd find Chrysalis's words very cold, both in words and the way she said it. Instead, she just accepts her words as actually being some sort of strategy.
>"The orphans that were taken in we're put through classes on runnin' this dirthole. The smarter foals we're forced to handle these machines and do-dads. The ones who couldn't get through are forced to work in that there crystal mine. That's all ah know. Have no idea what that overgrown lightbulb is for."
>Then...
"What's the point of this factory then?"
>"Couldn't tell ya, that's why ahm taking you to somepony who can. The kings never actually told me what this place this place is for. And everytime ah ask that dodgy foalmother, she never gives me any answers. She always says "It's better you don't know.Knowing too much is dangerous". Puh, nopony seems to have any idea that if it wasn't for havin' ah family. I would have knocked the stuffin' out of those two so called kings already" Applejack takes you to a set of double doors. there was a sign beside it that had shift and job information for every foal. And that this schedule will be heavily enforced. There was a Diamond Dog by the door, guarding it. He was pretty big and buff, he was missing one of his ears, and had a scar over his right eye. He looked to Applejack and stepped in front of the door and then huffed at her.
>Applejack just narrowed her eyes at him. giving him a mean and ornery look. "Bones, get outta the way. Can't ya see I have prisoners who need briefin'?"
>Bones looked down at her, and then eyed Chrysalis closely. Then pointed to her. "She's too old, might try to cause rebellion"

Still, wouldn't it be amusing for anon to have that Xenogears moment where the Gentle Doctor is yet again an asshole to Fei and silently allows him to eat diseased human flesh without batting an eye?

No wait, that would be even more edgy than the edge of captain planet with the powers combined of Sephoroth teleporting behind you because nothing personal, kid.

>>28523425
>You will learn more about my version of Luna
How interesting that friendship magic didn't fix her up neat and tidy in your vision, I am intrigued.

>The light dims around you and the princesses revealing the land below.
>That is from the peak of the mountain top you saw during your... alone time.
>It seems Discord really did have something planned...
>Too bad it was ruined.
>As you view the land, you start to fall from the air, so you quickly tap your hooves together, causing you to stop and slowly float down and hit the soft surface below.
>Discord has made a nice little bubble platform, though for reasons unclear.
>And it seemed that this protective bubble prevented the two princesses from falling, when you'd assumed that they'd simply use their wings.
>You'll ponder it later, but for now you decide to take a good look at the land below you.
>Hmm... Ponyville looks so small from here, and looking slightly above it, you could see the Everfree Forest in its entirety.
>You wonder how ponies have managed to keep such a large chaotic forest in check.
>Maybe Twilight could tell you sometime.
>Taking in more of the view around you, the land begins to look a bit... condensed compared to your world, with the deserts and jungles lacking thousandths of the size you walked through.
>Perhaps this world is not as vast?
>It puzzles you to think that such a small world could prosper.
>Is their populace effected by it?
>You could probably expand your body and crush the entire land under your weight.
>Or perhaps create more pathogens and wipe the land clean.
>Nah, that would be a waste.
>Maybe if you covered the land in fire?
>Burnt meat never tastes good.
>Maybe if you...
>You're thinking doesn't make sense.
>You can't do any of the suggested, so why think of it?
>It isn't really necessary, is it?
>Perhaps this is another side-effect of the potion?
>You'll think on it later.

>>28523603
>Celestia notices your curious gaze and lightly pats you on the head, getting your attention away from your mind. "Beautiful, isn't it? Tell me Anonymous, how has your stay been in Equestria?"
>Your stay in Equestria?
>Hmm... you've met Discord, your mom, a Pinkie Pie, honesty Applejack, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Zecora, Elune, and the questionable Slime.
>Oh and Spike.
>And all of them have acted on good will.
>Well... except maybe the Tiara one.
>Maybe she's still trying to control her emotions like you?
>And even that, you've gained an unnatural use of emotions you didn't even know you had.
>You thought it died the day you were born.
>And ever since you've made it here, everything has gone for the better by the looks of it.
>And you've finally gotten a hold of this tiny body's physic and adapted to it's strength.
>With the overall young and healthy body instead of the malnourished scar-covered bone of your former self, you've come to great terms with this new body.
>A renewal of yourself.
>And it all feels...
>Wonderful.
>These words keep showing up on request yet you only have a vague idea of what they mean.
>Maybe it goes on a scale of sorts, or depends on your bodies condition?
>If only Twilight was OK.
>Discord said she had the answers, but now...
>Guess you'll just have to wait for her to recover.
>Given her previous condition, the estimated time would be at least three days, five if anything on her body worsens.
>You won't let that happen again.
"I've met ponies and became their friend. Though the concept of friendship is still loose to me, I think I am starting to understand how it works."
>"And what are the names of these fine ponies?" Celestia had a nice grin on her face, making the calming aura all the more comforting.
"Well, the most recent friends I have made are from the Everfree forest."

>>28523613
>"The Everfree forest?" This time, Luna's curiosity got the better of her. "Oh do tell, Anonymous! What kind of friends have you made there?" in fact, she was oddly ecstatic from the mention of the forest.
"Currently, both Elune and the Slime are staying in the castle back at home with Spike."
>Now both of them were sitting eagerly for your explanation.
>You swear if it wasn't for the radiating stature, you'd see them as no different than the curious ponies on the streets.
"Elune is an abnormally excited filly that likes to talk. The Slime can talk somewhat and kind of acts like a pony, but I still question if the creature is sentient."
>"Hmm... I lack the proper experience to determine if your Slime friend would be able to communicate properly, but it might be the case given time." Luna ponders on the thought of Slime communication before Celestia adds her two-cents.
>"If my memory serves, Discord had such a friend. The Smooze if I recall?" Celestia looks up and the both of you follow her gaze to Discord, who is currently cycling through various amounts of catastrophes.
>"What do you think Celestia? Cotton candy avalanche? Oh! Or maybe chocolate fudge volcanoes?" Discord dips his claw into the giant clump of chocolate candy and waves the mass around like a lightweight bowling ball.
>Celestia looks at the mass in amusement. "Discord, as much as I would love a chocolate volcano, I don't think we can allow 'that' much chaos."
>"Ah, but my dear Princess Celestia, how can we have chaos without a little risk? And I'd prefer it if the answer isn't along the lines of 'Oh Discord, too much chaos is bad~'" Huh, he does a good Celestia impression.
>But isn't he contradicting himself from earlier?
>Maybe it only applied to you?

>>28523618
>Celestia's face goes from a smirk to that of slight irritation. "First of all, I don't sound like that, and second, too much chaos 'is' bad. For every pony." Discord puts his hands on his... oh. That's where his hips are.
>And teleports in front of Celestia for a confrontation of sorts.
>But in doing so, he drops the colossal ball of chocolate.
>"Celestia, if you can't get that royal head of yours out of the past, 'someone's gonna have to give it a push" Hmm... this doesn't seem good, they're completely ignoring the ball heading straight towards the city.
>Both you and Luna watch as the events unfold before taking evasive action.
>"Well I think my head is fine where it is Discord. It just seems that yours still has a screw loose~." You tear a hole through the bubble and jump through it with Luna following close behind.
>"I have a screw loose!? Says the boring princess who does nothing but sits in her castle all day!" You extend your limbs and expand them to inhuman dimensions, creating a sort of hoop to catch it, but it only rolls off of it, gaining air as it descends upon the city.
>"At least I don't harass my subjects with mindless tasks." Luna swoops below the ball and shoots a sort of beam at it, causing it to lose momentum, but not enough as it continues towards the city.
>"At least 'I' don't bore my subjects to death with 'duties and protocol's~" The ball flies straight for a statue in the middle of the city as bystanders look at the ball in horror.
>The two of them pause there conversation for a few seconds.
>Maybe they see the ball?
>... Are they laughing?
>You instinctively clasp your hooves together to think of something relevant.
>And in doing so, the entire ball disappears.
>Huh... you could get used to this new power...
>Maybe Discord knew you'd be able to take care of it?

>>28523631
>Looking at Luna, she gives you a look of confusion before staring in utter shock at... something.
>Something above yo-...?
>Everything has gone black.
>You just teleported it on top of you.
>You really need to get used to this new power.
>After a few moments, you feel a slight change and what feels like a swaying movement.
>You can only assume you're now rolling down the mountain.
>Exerting some energy onto yourself, you sprout mouths from all sides of you and begin to make a space around you.
>You take a few chomps out of the area... and... nngh... too sweet... FUCK WHY IS THIS SO SWEET!?
>You quickly extend tentacles and latch onto the corners of the little room you've made before coughing up the chocolate.
>You don't want to eat anymore sweets.
>Or maybe it's the constantly swirling motion that's making you want to spit it all out.
>You really want this horrid feeling in your stomach to end.
>You try to think of the most safest way to stop, but can't focus due to the feeling.
>You... can't...
>You clasp your hooves onto your face to prevent any unnecessary convulsions, but in doing so, a flash covers your eyes as the jolt of chaotic energy reenters your body.
>The weird surge throughout your body causes you to uncontrollably pulsate and vibrate, ending in a flash of light and what sounds like an explosion around you.
>Is that a good thing?
>Opening your eyes, you look around at your surroundings, which are now covered in hot chocolate and fudge.
>Ponies, buildings, the statue from before, and in addition, the two princesses and Discord, who lapped up the chocolate in glee. "Hahaha! Great work Ano-..."
>...
"... What is it Discord?"
>"... Did... you... always have wings?"
>Wings?
>Looking at your back, you 'indeed' have wings on your back, which are currently flapping carelessly.
>Huh... you have wings...
>Why do you have wings?
>...
>Answe͠r me.̀

>So my body grew unstable and lost hold of my previous form?
~T̡h̢įn̢k ̴ơf͘ a̷ ̵f̶ut̡ur͘e, you will return in time~
>Hmm... temporary transformation, except uncontrollable.
>As long as you can return back to normal, there should be no problems.
>"Nnngh... Discord? A little help?" Looking down at the Princesses, Luna was struggling to get out of the now hardening cocoon of chocolate fudge, while Celestia was stuck in a fit of laughter.
>With a swift snap, Discord makes all the chocolate disappear, freeing the area of it's sweet prison.
>You lower yourself down to eye-level with the princesses, catching their attention.
>"Hmhmhm Oh Anon~, I'm glad you're... you're a Pegasus?" Celestia was sure she saw you as a normal earth pony, she was caught a bit off guard as well as Luna.
"Apparently it's a temporary mutation due to my misuse of chaos magic, but don't worry, I'll return to normal eventually."
>Discord teleports and hugs you from behind without warning. "Haha! Always full of surprises, just like your old man!"
>Looking up from your current predicament, you can't help but feel... happy for Discord.
>And you're starting to get used to these hugs.
>The Princesses seem to agree with Discord's behavior as well, giggling at Discord's antics before he lets go of you and allowing you to return to the air.
>"I never took you for the loving type, Discord." Luna's smug makes Discord blush.
>"Er-I well-oh be quiet you." Discord crosses his arms and slithers his tongue, eliciting more giggling from the princesses.
>This warm calm feeling... you can't help but smile at the whole thing.
>Even though some of the other ponies around look on in either disgust or pleasure at the warm moment, a few share the same dumb smile you have.
>That is until...

>>28523647
>"Princess Celestia!? Princess Luna!? D-D-DISCORD!?" A light purple unicorn with a purple and aquamarine-striped mane comes running up to the four of you.
>Both Princess Celestia and Luna perk up and look her way, with clear joy in their eyes. "Ah, Starlight Glimmer! What a wonderful surprise."
>"Tell us, what brings you here to Canterlot on such short notice?" Luna's question catches Starlight off guard.
>"Oh well I um... had... a... spell to work on! Yes! A spell, and the research notes were here in the library, so I just cast a bit of teleportation and well... here I am! Hehe..." Jeez, she's beat red and sweating profusely.
>If you didn't know any better, the spell she cast made her run a marathon and a half.
>Either that or she's very nervous around others.
>While Discord continues to pout and ignore the two, you decide to get a feel for your wings.
>Controlling the frequency, adjusting the wingspan, and the use of force, you fly up high and plummet to the ground before going back up again until eventually you're back to a hover.
>Huh, you've never felt so... free.....
>You've grown wings before on the other world, but never as agile and light as these.
>They just felt so much more... right?
>More natural-born than anything.
>Adjusting your body to add to your momentum, you hover over to Celestia and Luna and land on Celestia's head with a light pat.
>Celestia shudders from the new touch, but slowly adjusts to your weight and smiles gleefully.
>While on the other hand, Starlight is trying her hardest not to explode in a cringe-induced panic. "And who is... that? If you don't mind me ask of course... Your excellency!"
>Mmmmm.... her mane is surprisingly soft, and the long flowing strands of hair tickle your body.
>This feels so nice...

>>28523654
Kill yourself

>>28523654
>"Hmhmhm, well aren't you something? This is Anon Starlight, Twilight's son." Celestia couldn't help but find this whole situation adorable, struggling to contain herself.
>All the while Starlight was the complete opposite. "TWILIGHT'S SON!?"
>Nngh... too loud...
>"B-b-b-but how!? And why!? Who's the lucky stallion? Why didn't she tell me!? Wait... if I was sent on a vacation two weeks ago, and I'm getting introduced to her son now..." Starlight has a very skeptical look on her face as she contemplates how in the world Twilight found a stallion, got married, and had a colt in a span of two weeks.
>Maybe you should help with the explanation.
>You really don't want a misunderstanding.
"I am Twilight's adopted son. My father is Discord."
>Pointing at the moping draconequus, she only double-takes.
>"Discord!? Has... a son?" She's having the toughest time of her life processing this. "Wait... so Twilight adopted you while I was away... Discord brought you here to... meet the princesses... anything else?"
"Well, I can use chaotic powers."
>"I expected that coming from the son of Discord and all, but when exactly did this happen? And for what purpose? Discord could easily raise you on his own... couldn't he?" This catches Discord's attention very quickly, causing him to teleport instantaneously to her.
>"Ah, well my little pony, you haven't seen my son's... other special talent. Anon if you would?"
"But I'd be breaking Twilight's rules."
>Discord reflexively cringes. "Oh of course she did... well as your father, I out-rule her! Got it?" Hmm... he can do that?
>You're not sure if you should listen to him.
>Well... maybe for just this once.
>Focusing a little, a few tentacles protrude from out of your body, with a few waving at Starlight as commanded, but a few others still growing in length.

>>28523664
>One of them in particular begins to snake around Celestia's neck before suction cupping the position securely and then waving gingerly at the now wide-eyed Starlight Glimmer.
>A few others continue their growth down all the way to her belly and back, wrapping themselves around her entire body width.
>Celestia and help but recoil and wriggle at the movement around her body, making her give off a slight blush.
>"Er... Anon? Don't you think that's a bit much for a simple wave?" Discord's smirk doesn't really match his tone here, which confuses you.
"Mmm... perhaps I gave it too loose a command?"
Before they can continue their advances, you will them back into your body, leaving only the one around her neck, given its the closest one to Starlight.
>Of which is currently blushing just as much as Celestia and Luna can't help but looked concern. "Dear sister, are you a-alright?"
>"I'm fine Luna, no need to worry~." Celestia lifted her wing and put her head to the side, causing the wing to fluff and fwap your head.
>Nngh... too fluffy...
>You swipe around at the fluffy feathers, but lose your balance in the process, causing you to fall to the side of her face with the only thing keeping you in place being the tentacle's grip.
>She quickly nuzzles your face and you can't help but blush yourself. "Hmhmhm, thought you got the best of me, didn't you?"
"I have nngh... no idea what your talking about... Celestia."
>"Really now?" Celestia giggles at your adorableness, but you don't want any of this.
>So you fwap her in the face with your wings in retaliation.
>Your face reacts with a scrunched look as Celestia bursts out in full on laughter.
>Nnrrgh... what is this feeling?
>It's like you want to kill her... but not at the same time.
>It feels so... weird...
>Yet you don't mind this feeling.
>It doesn't hurt in any sort of way.
>Maybe this is how Celestia has fun?

>>28523671
>It's certainly a contrast to Discord's random nature, since this is more a child having fun with a slightly older sibling of sorts.
>At least that's as far as you can interpret these feelings.
>But you overall don't mind.
>Unlike the latter around you.
>Discord looks like he was the one inside the chocolate sphere, Luna is currently watching her sister in awe, and Starlight is doing the best she can to not ruin the mood.
>"Hehehe... the great ruler of Equestria... giggling and playing like a little filly..." She honestly didn't know what to say.
>"Well, Celestia was always in her best moods when a young foal was involved." The two of them look on as the both you and Celestia try to fwap each other with feathers.
>Of which you have the prime advantage of being just inches away from her face.
>Of course she gets a few fwaps in, but your frontal assault is unchallenged, with the both of your scrunched faces taking fwapping after fwapping.
>That is until finally, Discord intervenes by teleporting you into his grasp. "I think that's enough rivalry for today, and as much as I would love to keep watching, there's some amazing chaos to be ha-" you fwap his face with your wing, your face still scrunched and ready.
>Discord scrunched himself, but quickly shakes his head of any thoughts and smiles at your battle-ready stance.
>"Oh you have no idea know what you've just done Anon."
"I have asserted my dominance over you."
>"Good guess, but not quite." Discord chuckles to himself before you and the rest of your group are teleported back into the Castle.

Where did your story leave off before your hiatus? I recall it was after being captured by the filly or did I miss something?

>>28523749
I can't quite remember where I left off when I left on a hiatus, so when I returned to lurking the thread and stuff, I just assumed that the most updated chapter was the one I updated last.
Bad judgement on my part I guess, If you want to catch up, I suggest chapter 10 and over.

Like actual filly? Or attempt to make her more teen looking. Cuz it is hard to distinguish age in pony with this Lynda style without doing a size change or someone for ref. Mostly cuz I don't quite understand how.

>Applejack kept her front "Who's leg you tryin' to pull? ya know as well as well ah do that we should have at least one older pony who can reach up to the higher machines. Don't ya think we should have at least one older pony?"
>The Diamond Dog thinks about it for a second. Then brings his face threateningly close to hers "...No...Also, I heard alarm. Is anything going on outside?"
>Shit...this guy, while not seeming too smart, was intelligent enough to notice something was off.
>"Just a couple of intruders. Look Bones, she's already here.And if ah can handle her, you can handle her. What was it ya said to me? That anything I can do, ya can do one hundred times better?" Applejack gives him a cocky smirk
>Bones growls and points to himself "BONES CAN DO ONE THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!"
>Applejack just continues smiling at him "Prove it then, partner"
>"I WILL!" Bones steps aside "Get them briefed with Gertrude, Gertrude will handle their edumacations."
>Gertrude?! The other Chrysalis was here?!
>"'Course...." Applejack looks to you with an angry look "Get along little ponies. Move move move!"
>With that, You and Chrysalis step through the doors. Applejack following and closing the door tight behind her. "..That was a close one"

>>28527729
>You took a look around the room. It was some sort of playroom. On the side was a wall of slots for the foals to put their work things. But everything else was like some sort of daycare. The wallpaper was bright and cheerful. There was toys, a fridge, tables, dolls, plushies. The room was devoid of foals. Though there was another set of double doors leading to another room.
"...What's with this room? I didn't think Flim and Flam would pay to keep a room nice for slaves."
>Applejack shook her head "That's because those penny pinching ponies didn't. They didn't care what the conditions for the little ones were like just as long as they worked. All this stuff was actually donated by Miss Rarity herself."
"Rarity? Wuh? You mean the white pony with the stylish bluish purple mane and a high horse type of attitude? Ok, that needs some explanation. If she knows about this too then why hasn't she said anything? I mean, it doesn't even make sense because when we ran into her at the throne room. She just looked at us like we were trash. Plus she was making some deal with the kings and even seemed to like them"
>"Yep, that's Rarity." Applejack nodded "She doesn't take kindly to anypony she might see as competition, she may have thought you both were some kind of new company openin' up on her turf. As for all this, well. Rarity actually has got this softer side of her. Ya see. there was this time about a month or two ago where she wanted a bodyguard for this super secret show she was going to have and asked the kings for assistance. That's where I come in. Being the captain, Rarity wanted me to be her bodyguard. And let me tell ya, she whipped up a storm of tears and wails til the kings agreed to lend me to her."
>Yep, sounded like Rarity.
"And then you just told her this was happening? Or is there more to this?"

Got too drunk too early and now only woke up just to go to bed again.

>>28527798
>"Course" Applejack nodded "Well, everything was going as normal, Me keepin the darn paparazzi and spies out of her mane and all that, when I decided to knock on Rarity's door to see if she was alright. She hadn't really said anything all fancy smancy or made a big deal out of the tiniest thing in about twenty minutes. Got me worried. She didn't answer, so ah let myself in. And that's when ah saw it. There was Miss Rarity, a pony her competitor's paint as cold and ruthless. Putting together a quilt with cute little moons and suns on em. It didn't look like anything for any show and trust me, when she noticed ah was watching her, she went as silent as a mouse. Turns out Miss Rarity works on side projects to donate to poor families and orphanages. Ah never would have believed it if ah hadn't seen it. There hadn't been known charity in Equestria since the kings became..well..kings. Turns out she makes secret donations so she can keep her reputation while helping those ponies who could really need some help. Ah had to ask her why of course. She told me she didn't know, can ya believe that? all she could tell me was she ran into a foal who was cold and alone, she lost her family in the big bussel of the crowd. Rarity told me that she took her in, took care of her, and personally found her parents to return her. Rarity told me it made her feel as warm as fresh apple pie, well..she didn't say that last part but that's the way I'd imagine she felt. Ever since then,she been doing secret charities. She told me, she made me swear not to tell anypony else. And of course, me being the honest pony ah was raised to be. Made that promise. After everything settled down, we talked. She had never seen ah pony like me, she said. She told me most of the ponies she sees are all kinds of deceitful and dishonest. Well, just the same, ah was surprised she was so generous after everything that's happened with Equestria. You don't see that kinda thing nowadays...."

>>28527900
>Chrysalis cut her short "Excuse me" She said with a snappy tone "Does this story have a point? We're running short on time"
>"O-oh, sorry. Got caught up on good memories. Anyway. When her show was over. Ah was thinking of all the little ones here and how it'd be great if there was somethin' somepony could do to just, ya know, at least give them somethin' to play with instead of just sittin' there talking about their work. Gertrude does her best but she's either with the kings or reading the foals bedtime stories. Ah asked Rarity if there was any way to get some personal donations sent to mah house so I can do some charity work of mah own. At first, she was pretty insistent of me not going through the hassle, feeling she could get them sent to where they needed to go herself. But, without revealing nothin, after tellin her how important it was it just get sent straight to me because of how the kings might react. She reconsidered and agreed to just send them to me. Then ah brought it all here \, the Kings didn't seem to care, they thought it was something ah was doin' all mah own. So it made it easier. And there you are"
>...that was...so damn sweet. Even more, it meant that all the Mane 6 weren't jerks after all. Not even Rarity. They just never met each other. And so all their lives were changed. But not their characters....well mostly not their characters.
"That's amazing Applejack..."
>Chrysalis rolled her eyes, she was being very impatient "Yes, very inspirational. But that tells us nothing about what's going on. We need the full story on what's going on here at the castle. Not a story about how you...." Chrysalis stops. She could sense something that offset her entire thought process. Her alternate self was definitely near...And she was feeding. "...never mind, my apologies...but if we can please move on. It's important. You should realize this"

Holy shit, couldn't she show some compassion that a bunch of sweet and adorable horsies are being put into this mess and that Applejack is just trying to make their shitty lives better? Sheesh. You knew she was cruel but you thought she'd have grown some sort of a heart by now. It just sets in stone however. The difference between her care for you and her care for everything else. As you thought about it, it did kind of look like that Chrysalis actually deeply cared for you for once in this adventure. Helping you get across traps, making you breakfast, a fun conversation or two, and putting up with all the friendly banter of the others....or maybe she just was doing that to ensure her escape from this hell hole...who knows.
>Chrysalis ignored you, but she knew what you were feeling. But in her mind. She felt if things got too offtrack. Then they'd end up getting caught or not managing to do something in time.
>"Yer right, sorry...alright..follow me" Applejack stepped over to the next set of double doors. and led you both inside.
>In this next room was rows and rows of beds set up in a circular formation. Not all was filled, there was a door leading to a bathroom. And small lights lit the room from the ceiling. In the center of it all was "Gertrude". Sitting down on a chair. Reading a story to the tired foals whose shifts had ended for the night. "...Of course, Little Darling knew she couldn't let those poor rabbits just be stuck on the other side of that terrible raging river. Thankfully, she knew just what to do. She took a rope from her saddle bag and..."
>"Heya Gertrude. Ya got some time to spare? Ah got to talk to you" Applejack called to her

>>28528177
>"Gertrude" stops. God, it really was Chrysalis. Her horn was missing. Wings gone. An odd collar on her neck. And yet, she looked so calm, cool, and gentle. Like a mother. She looked to Applejack, then gasped in surprise. "Captain Applejack..." She then frowned "...new workers?...I thought we had all we needed."
>The foals in bed leaned upwards to look to you and Nymous. They began to whisper to eachother. some excited to make new friends. Others saddened that it just meant something new must be be going on. Some noticed Nymous, some colts found her very nice looking, others wondered why an older pony was taken in.
>Two got up however. A filly pegasi with a blue mane and bright purple coat. And a white colt with a silver mane with red stripes going across. The filly's cutie mark was a candlestick, the other..what looked like a sports ball of some sort.
>"Heya Captain Applejack! How are you! Did you bring us treats!" The filly said with excitement.
>The colt however, looked upon Nymous and blushed "....hi....I'm Pop Fly....you're um....cool looking"
>Chrysalis just gave him a pat as Applejack gave the filly a hug "Sorry little missy, not this time. But ah promise next time...next time will be somethin' that's gonna be better than all the candy and all the toys in Equestria"
>"Y-you promise?" The Filly was nearly breathless from that. You notice her eyes. They were tired, bags under them. Her coat was grungy instead of clean and shining. poor thing.
>"Have ah ever lied?" Applejack gives her a smug grim. "Now why don't the both of you head off back to bed, ah'll give ya back yer mommy Gertrude when ahm done. ok?"
>They both reply with a nod and a "ok" and hop off into bed.
>Gertrude looks to Applejack. Awaiting the answer.

>>28528336
>Applejack looks to her, and opens the doors behind her. "We all should talk in private..c'mon"
>The four of you head out, until Gertrude is stopped by the cry of the colt named Pop Fly "Wait! Momma Gertrude, are you going too?"
>Gertrude stops and looks to Pop Fly with a gentle smile "Only for a moment, I'll be back to finish the story when I'm done talking to Captain Applejack. Don't get overexcited Pop fly, you know you need your rest. If you get too excited you won't be able to sleep"
>"O-ok...b-but be back soon...ok?" Pop Fly asks, he yawned, he was adorable and clearly tired. But he wanted to hear the rest of that story. And he wanted his Momma Gertrude to be the one to do it.
>"I shall" Gertrude gives a soft nod. and follows the rest of you back to the playroom.
>"Captain Applejack, can you tell me what happened? Why are these two here? I really thought the kings had stopped needing workers." Gertrude said with worry in her voice.
>"Well Gertrude, that's the thing. These ain't workers. They are actually gonna put a stop to them no good kings once an' for all. These two set off the code zero alarm, the whole castle is lookin' for em" Applejack said with confidence and hope in her voice.
>"Code Zero? Oh my, oh my my my.Captain Applejack" Gertrude said with desperation and fright in her voice "You need to get back to the castle! If this is what I think it is, then the kings will get suspicious if they can't find you!"
>Holy shit. Gertrude was nothing like Chrysalis. It's amazing what a little mindbreak can do. Surprisingly enough however. Chrysalis kept silent. She kept her cool. She looked as concerned as everyone else in the room.
>"But Gertrude, Ah just brought em here now and we all gotta come up with a plan. Ah think you need me. We all gotta work together" This, Applejack was sure of.

>>28528390
>"Captain Applejack, I appreciate you wanting to help. But I already know what to do in this situation. Please, you must believe me. What you must do is go back and report to the Kings that you haven't found these two yet. Please..." Gertrude pleaded with Applejack "If you don't go back now, eventually they'll realize you aren't actually looking for them"
>Applejack stopped for a moment, she realized Gertrude may be right. "Didn't think of it like that, ok. Ah'll go report back and try to keep em out of the factory. Good luck Gertrude"
>"And a good luck to you Captain Applejack." Gertrude said with hope in her voice.
>Applejack bid the three of you farewell, and went back to the castle to report to Flim and Flam.
>Gertrude took a breath. And in an instant. a familiar expression came upon her face. The expression of being aloof. "Well well well. So it appears to be true. Dimensional travel is possible. So should I refer to you as my twin sister? or would you rather me go by your disguised name of Nymous?"
>..wut?
>Chrysalis looked up upon Gertrude's face, but with an expression that looked down upon her "Don't go acting as if we're equals. You are a failed changeling who lost the hive, lost Equestria, and lost her place as Queen. Just because we bear the same name does not mean we are the same."
>...Wut?!
>"How dare you! You can't possibly think you wouldn't be in the same situation had it been you instead of me. We are the same, exactly the same. The only difference was a circumstance that changed everything else!" Gertrude was immediately insulted by her alter self's immediate taunt.
>..WUT?!
>"In your dreams sister, I would never EVER lose to some pathetic army consisting of pest control plebians" Chrysalis scoofed/
>WHY WERE THEY ARGUING?! HOW THE FUCK DOES GERTRUDE KNOW ABOUT INTERDIMENSIONAL TRAVEL?! HOW ARE NEITHER SURPRISED THAT THE OTHER KNOWS THAT IT'S ANOTHER THEM?!

>>28528479
>"Oh really?" Gertrude points to you "Then what's with the colt? He's clearly a pony that you are associating with for some reason that must not be under your control. Hmph, What happened to the captain? Why are you even here? The only guess I can think of is that infernal contraption has overcharged at this point. Those fools...."
>you decide to interject at this point
"Excuse me. But the hell is going on? How do you know that we came from another Equestria? How are you not surprised that there's another you standing right in front of you! I mean, FUCK, do you both really think NOW is a good time to argue who has a bigger dick right now?"
>you look to Chrysalis "You were the one who said we are in a hurry! what gives?!"
>both of the bug queens look at you as if you were a crazy nuisance.
>Gertrude then points to you while looking at Chrysalis "What's his problem? And why does he use such stupid made up words?"
>Chrysalis let's out a small sigh "He's just a moron who fails to notice the obvious around him. As for why I associate with him...Well, look at him. He's like the court jester we never had."
>Did she just refer to you as her court jester?
"Oh c'mon, what happened to being friends? You know what? screw it..."
>You look to Gertrude and point to Chrysalis
"We're friends. Me and her? We're buddies! We talk, we laugh sometimes together, hell we watched a documentary together that we both thoroughly enjoyed. I don't understand this conversation at all but you're both pretty much in the same boat. You lost to Flim and Flam. And she lost to Discord! There, you're both equals now. Can we focus on the plan?"
>Gertrude and Chrysalis both laugh at you.
>Oh...come on..
"W-what's so funny?!"

>>28528568
>"He's cute, doesn't he realize we can just read each other to figure things out? Does he really think a small spat is going to hinder a couple of glorious rulers such as ourselves?" Gertrude asks Chrysalis
>"He doesn't." She chuckles for a bit before letting out a lamenting sigh "Of course, now that we know we both have had our temporary setbacks to manage. We can move on to more important matters. Namely, since we are the rescuers and we don't have a lot of time. I'd like you to tell us exactly how this happened and what the importance of that glowing chamber is for. I'm guessing it has something to do with that "Infernal contraption". Do you mean to tell me it has something to do with interdimensional travel? How did those two manage to build something to harness that kind of power?"
>But you weren't done yet.
"Don't you two team up on me like that. You were just arguing with eachother like..seconds ago."
>"Yes Anon, and unfortunately we both came to the realization that we both had the same things to hide. Although..." Chrysalis looks to Gertrude with some disgust "You care about all of them? Let me say this, Anon being my friend is still advantageous to me ruling Equestria. You have no reason to care about those little insects."
>Wait...
>You look to Gertrude...what a fucking surprise. What?!
"You actually care about the orphans?"
>Gertrude puts a hoof to her face and sighs in low embarrassment "Yes...need you say that out loud? I lost my hive, my own children. I suppose I see these young moldable little minds as something to fill that void. When you have this accursed collar, which prevents you from even doing such normal functions such as transformation and egg laying. Well...hrmph. Well, what about you? Why is this single colt important to you? You still have the hive..Do you expect me to believe he can help you rule Equestria?"

>>28528601
>Chrysalis nods "Let's not get emotional my dear alternate self. Let me give you the short version, we are a little low on time. But he is the adopted son of Discord. That horn he wears around his neck is capable of magic far beyond that of even an Alicorn. And he just so happens to be entertaining sometimes. He can be surprisingly underhoofed and cruel. But then there's the times where he becomes a moralistic idiot and I lose interest"
>....really?
"Chrysalis, why do you do that? You know I'll never let that happen. So why bring it up? Ugh..."
>you rub the side of your head with your hooves
"I've told you I'll never let that happen. Telling another version of you isn't going to fix that"
>Gertrude raises an eyebrow "He really is not too smart. Is he? He says he won't let it happen. Yet he decides to associate with you""
>"It's because he has this silly notion that he can reform me. It's really adorable that he thinks that when he's so easily manipulated." Chrysalis asnwers.
>You groan
"Name one time where you managed to completely manipulate me! Name one!"
>Chrysalis grins "I'm sure somewhere in your mind, you have some memory of procreating....with your pillow..all night. That was me Anon!" She cackles "THAT WAS ME!"

>>28528631
>BUT IT WAS ME, CHRYSALIS!

>>28528631
>no...so that did...wait..NO!
"SO I REALLY DID..?! NO!"
>Chrysalis snickers "You really did...it was disgusting at first. But it's funny to think about now"
>Gertrude smirked "Ahh, I see why you like him now. He's really is easy to tease, isn't he?"
>"Oh he is" Chrysalis leans down to drag you close and begins to rub her cheek against yours "He's my adorable little Anon who owes me his life and a few presents aside. At this point, I don't know what I'd do without him"
>Gertrude cackles "Is he?! He is! He's both flustered and yet enjoying the cuddling! I can taste it! And..." Gertrude stops when she realizes something "Why is he enjoying it in that way? Isn't he a colt?"
>You were struggling to push Chrysalis away, but she wouldn't stop. "Oh, if only I had the time to explain everything. I'd really like to hear your reaction. But we really must be getting on to business...isn't that right Anon" Chrysalis gives you a kiss on the cheek. Making you blush hard.
>You struggle further, and finally push away from her grasp, making you tumble backwards onto your back.
>You were frustrated, and making a scrunchy face. You squirmed backwards away from them and turned to your side.
"Whatever...just finish up. We have to move on to the next step you know. We're wasting time"
>"What a little sourpuss" Chrysalis says in a cute mocking way before turning to her other self "Well then, now that we've had our fun. Please go on and explain everything. We need to know as much as possible. Spare no horrific detail. Ponies tend to react more sympathetically if death or cruelty is involved"

and thats it for the night

>>28528655
This was fantastic

>>28528655
To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the pissing contest, but the first half was great, showing that rarity was still generous. I was wondering if you were going to pass over her.

Will we be hearing more about Fluttershy? I don't expect your anon to go around and gather the elements, but at least give them instructions to find the other two.

Can't wait to read this juicy update

>>28529050
we already heard about the flutslut
trying to shove her back in at this point would be hamfisted considering where they are.

>>28529197
I mean we already met rarity earlier in the story, and now we get clarification on her character. Before this update, you probably would have said the same thing about giving more exposition on her, but Erf worked it into the situation. I'm not saying put it into the climax obviously, just before erfanon goes back, I would like to see the elements situation at least on the path to being resolved. I think it would give the arc a sense of closure.

>>28529268
no, I wouldnt have said that at all, as we had no confirmation that she was still our Rarity.
Fluttershy is already confirmed still nice by Rainbow Dash, she's just being naive. Rainbow Dash is also already on the raod to redemption which will probably also include FLuttershy, considering their past together.

>>28529326
Yo I didn't mean you as in (You) I meant the general reader.
Also I don't remember it being confirmed, just suspected by rainbow Dash, as Fluttershy was missing for quite a while and her location is unknown except 'maybe Everfree'. There's alot of assumptions in that post of yours though, Fluttershy's condition as it is now is ambiguous enough for a spin off story to work.

>just suspected by rainbow Dash, as Fluttershy was missing for quite a while and her location is unknown except 'maybe Everfree'
Kek, that's where my whacky suggestion a few threads ago that Flutershy was the mastermind behind the hippy ponies's cell structure. Am organization so carefully constructed that no one even knows the hippies are organized, let alone that she is their leader who's encouraged them to strike various targets with arson and militancy.

What looks completely random to the outsider observing their actions at ground level, to Flutters, is all working toward the her solution to the animal problem.

Flutter's mischief has a great deal to due with why Flim and Flam's society is crumbling. It would decline anyway, she's just accelerating the collapse.


But rainbow is clued in. Which is why she became the chief-- to help cover for her friend as a matter of an expression of her loyalty.

And similarly why she was very absent of details when explaining Flutershy's doings over the past few years. Why she put Anon off on what she saw as him wanting to get closer to her. Not like Rainbow even lied, she just framed things to keep a rich prince from poking around where it was best he shouldn't. Slap that gold card in his hoof and send him to canterlot.

Besides, isn't flutter-ninja the cutest thing ever?

And what the hell, continuing the chicanery; here we see Flutershy meeting with the core of her eco-terror cell's prime members.

Not one identity is shared between them, and because they are all wearing masks they think Flutershy is wearing a mask too.

Not only is Flutershy the mastermind, she's also one of the top recon units of the organization. Here we see Flutershy displaying one of her many ninja techniques.

>>28529050
I dunno, the pissing contest was my favorite part of the update since it shows Chrysalis being Chrysalis with Chrysalis. And I love those moments.

Anyways, I'm running a thermaltolerance experiment and it's literaly filled with dead hours, so who wants a motherfucking update?

>>28529681

>Chaos would be the word that described perfectly the current status of the Guard HQ. Guards were running left and right, flying up and down. Some were carrying piles upon piles of large scrolls and blueprints. Others were bringing in what seemed ponies that broke the law, among which you counted dozens.
>”Sheeesh, kinda makes me wanna go back to Ponyville and chillax there… but meh, at least I got to fly with the ACTUAL Wonderbolts for two days! Speaking of which, that reminds me that we kinda were tasked to patrol the outskirts events, sooooo, see ya later squirt!” RD extends her wings and prepares to take off buuut, you can’t have that just yet
“Wait! Is ponyville as bad as it is here?”
>Dash stops for a moment to think “Hmmm, well… have you seen Discord’s chaotic shenanigans?”
“Well… kinda, but never in this level. Please, I need to know so I can at least get an idea of what’s there”
>”Ehhh…” RD rubs the back of her neck “It is kinda hard to explain buuuut you have nothing to worry about. Believe me, Discord put TONS of effort into this… but really I gotta go… so see ya later squirt!”
>RD waves her goodbye and dashes off with an incredible speed. It was difficult to see thanks to the high altitude that they were flying, but the rainbow colored trail that she left made it easier to see that she joined her squad with no problem.
>You take another look at the whole situation that was unfolding right in front of your eyes… sheesh, you have never seen something like this. It almost looked like a movie where the military is preparing to make a big move…
>But, you also didn’t want to stay here for too long, so you turn to Aegia and ask her what needed to be done next
“So, Hey Aegia, where do we go now? I know that we have to report, but to who?”
>You had to almost yell, even when the fort had such high walls, the noise coming from outside was simply overwhelming, and the situation that was going on inside the fort didn’t help either.

>>28529848
>”Zat would be easy Mon petit. We need to report to ze commander in chief of zis operation. I zink zat you are aquiantiance wiz her. She is ze general of ze Night Guard…”
“Wait, you mean Moonlight? Oh man, that’s a relief, I knew that she was going to be here, but now I’m glad that we are actually going to see her… anyways… lead the way please”
>Aegia nods and gives you a salute “Wiz pleasure. Ze comman room should be-“
>The white mare gets interrupted by a thundering noise and a powerful quake that shock even the air. Everyone in the HQ stops completely what they were doing with so much diligence and look up to the cloudy sky.
>Similar to a whale coming from the depths of the sea. A gigantic boat comes from the sky, tearing away the clouds that were on its way. It was being guided by a few bat ponies to the HQ… wait a minute.
>The boat was painted with a teal orange, the hull looked thick to say the least. While you could see that the foundations were made with wood especially when looking at the propellers that were installed on the back of the ship, the metal placed in what you assumed were strategically reinforced spots stood out like a sore thumb.
>The gray balloon that what you assumed was used to make the ship fly, was partially deflated and bore a stylized Pegasus with a banner draped around her shoulders as she held a coat of arms. You could only hope that these ponies used magic instead of helium to inflate the balloons, because otherwise a pretty hot death awaited everyone at the HQ.
“A boat that can fly? Are you kidding me? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s quite pretty, but seriously?”
> “In ozer circumstances, I would be surprised zat you don’t know about airships. But Princess Celestia has informed me of your land of origin. Now come wiz me please, I’m sure zat we will find General Moonlight zere”

>>28529854
“Egh, whatever, I have seen weirder things here… and I have the feeling that Discord has more inside that cloud. But I’m curious, what makes you believe that Moonlight will be there?”
>Aegia’s attention was completely on the ship, she narrows her eyes for a second “Because zat is not ordinary ship. Take a look at it and you will see”
“Eh, not to be rude but… remember that this is literally the first flying boat that I’ve seen in my life. And while we had boats, this one looks like it would be centuries old in my old world…not to boast or anything, but tech was pretty rad there.”
>”I see zat Princess Celestia’s words about her mon petit’s arrogance were true. But ignoring zat comment. Look at ze sides of ze ship. No civilian airship has zat kind of weaponry.”
“Ooooooh, so you are saying that normal flying boats usually doesn’t carry like 200 canons… hmmm, good point”
>Aegia nods "twenty-eight if my calculations are correct. And zey always are. Zere are eight cannons on each broadside. It’s easy to see ze four cannons in ze stern and ze ozer four in ze bow. I can’t say how many mortars, but a ship of zis size must carry around two to four.” and she doesn’t say any other word, again, her attention was focused on the airship, and the process that the Night Guards were performing to guide it in its landing efforts.
>As the airship touches the ground, you can see better the color of the balloon. Yes, it was mostly gray, but it also was colored with a neat white on the top. It’s funny actually; the whole thing kinda resembled a nightingale… a very deadly, outdated and convoluted nightingale.
>”Now, I’m sure zat it’s safe to approach right now. All of ze Night Guards are surrounding ze ship. Zat usually means zat ze crew has surrendered.”Aegia starts walking with a steady pace towards the airship with you following close behind.

>>28529865
>A gigantic ramp comes from the ship making a loud thud when it hits the ground. Shortly after that, a bunch of mares… incredibly good looking mares... who were dressed in cute sailor outfits… starts to come out of the ship and to walk down the huge ramp.
>You doubt that this was something that Discord came up with, but if he did… oh baby! He really knew your tastes.
>You look around and almost every stallion guard seemed to be thinking the same thing as they stare with lust and confusion to the female crew… mostly lust.
>And before you could turn your head to enjoy this amazing sight, you feel a slap on your head. You turn to Aegia who was looking down at you with that emotionless stare of hers
“Agh! What was that for?!”
>”You need to keep your focus on, mon petit. I can’t allow you to start drifting off like ze rest of zose guards.”
>”WHAT ARE YOU KNUCKLE HEADS DOING! COME HERE AND HELP TO GUIDE THESE MARES TO THE CELLS OR YOU WILL DEAL WITH ME INSTEAD!” A voice more powerful than any thunder bomb echoes across the HQ, making a lot of the guards rush down and take the crew of sexy mares into custody.
>You look to the top of the ship, to where that thundering voice came from. And lo and behold there she was standing with a pride but powerful pose on top of the airship bridge, clayed in her imposing armor, wearing tons of little belts across her front and rear legs that had all sort of devices attached to them, and armed with a sword that was hanging onto her back was the general of the Night Guard and commander in chief of this whole operation: Moonlight Shadow.
>”And that goes for you too cute-face! You better move or we will have problems!” Moonlight barks at someone and immediately an orange pegasi wearing a blue coat and an eye patch comes out running down the ramp.
“Pirates? Are there really air pirates?”

>>28529873
>”Oui. And it would seem zat General Moonlight has caught a band of zem. At first glance of course, zere is more in zese zings zat what meets ze eyes”
“That’s not my point… well, it kinda is…but who would be so stupid as to try to do something this big near the carnival? I mean, like half the Guard is here and I’m sure that Discord wouldn’t take so kindly that a band of pirates ruined his big event”
>”Aahhh, again wiz ze sharp mind.” Aegia briefly nods and smiles “Oui, I zought exactly ze same. Nopony is ZAT stupid as to try to attach such a heavily guarded place or to lure ze anger of ze spirit of chaos”
>Moonlight was inspecting that the whole deal with the “pirates” was going smoothly when she finally sees you. She flies and orders one of the bat guards to supervise everything for her while she talks with you.
>”Anon! What a relief!” With an incredibly fast dash, Moonlight lands in front of you and gives you a brief hug “One worry less…” She looks at Aegia and narrows her eyes “Who are you?” Moonlight asks with a tone that showed authority.
>Aegia steps forwards and offers her hoof to moonlight “My name is Aegia. First commander of ze equestrian secret service. I was tasked with ze protection of ze Prince during ze chaos carnival”
>Moonlight ignores the hoofshake and goes directly to the point “Show me your papers”
>Aegaia doesn’t seem offended at this, or at least her emotionless face didn’t show that. She just nods and pulls a bunch of documents from her saddlebag “Zere. You will see zat everzing it’s in proper order. Now, since we have reported to the HQ, we need to go. Ze spirit of chaos is waiting for us at…”
>”Not so fast, I want to talk with Anon first… in private. So if you excuse us” Moonlight brashly returns the papers to Aegia
>”Zat won’t be possible. My orders are to keep ze Prince safe. Besides I don’t take orders from anypony from anozer division”

>>28529878
>Moonlight shakes her head and chuckles “Well, that won’t be a problem since the papers clearly says that you are not working for the secret service for this “operation”. You are here as Anon’s provisional bodyguard, and guess what? That means that you take orders from the ACTUAL bodyguard, who by decree of Princess Luna, it’s me.”
>You see Aegia briefly narrowing her eyes with disdain at Moonlight. But as usual, her face go emotionless in less than a second, she nods and gives Moonlight a salute “As you say Madam.”
>”Good, now if you want to be of some use, the captain of the ship is over there…” Moonlight points to the yellow pegasi with the eye-patch “They come from Prance, and I assume that you speak their language. Please inform them that they are currently being held under arrest for breaking the no fly for airships zone that was set up since last week”
>Aegia salutes Moonlight “As you wish Madam…” She turns to you and makes a small bow “Please don’t take long, mon petit. We still need to get to Ponyville and meet wiz ze spirit of chaos”
>When Moonlight makes sure that Aegia was at a far enough distance, she pulls you to her side and starts walking with what felt was no direction other than to get as far as possible from Aegia.
“Moonlight? Why the grumpy attitude? I know that this whole situation must be serious. But I can’t understand why you acted so… aggressive towards Aegia”
>Moonlight looks over her shoulder before replying to you ”I don’t trust the ponies at the secret service, that’s why! They usually mean bad news. Heck not even that goofball of Shining Armor trusts them completely, and he almost married the changeling queen”
“WHAT?!”
>”SHHHH!” Moonlight puts her hoof on your mouth and checks that no one else was looking to your way. When she’s sure that the coast it’s clear, she resumes her explanation “Yes, that’s a story for another day…” Moonlight inspects your necklace and smirks

>>28529891
>“Heh, so Luna did follow my advice…eh, this is kinda over the top to be fair. A necklace that it’s worth more than a school teacher annual salary could bring more troubles buuut I have to agree that it’s a cute gift…”
“Yeah, I actually like it a lot. I don’t care how much money it’s worth though… I just like it because this is something that my mom really wanted to give me”
>Moonlight strokes your mane and rolls her eyes “Oh, believe me. She REALLY wanted to give you this necklace. It was originally going to be a gift for another occasion, but since this whole thing came up, she got… well, you saw her before you left right?”
>You nod
>”She actually was CALM compared to how she was last night…. Seriously, she was mad as tartarus… but anyways, Luna told you how the necklace works, right? Please tell me that she didn’t forget”
“Yup, I just have to tap it and it will tell you that I’m in danger and where I am, right?”
>Moonlight nods, and then she looks over her shoulder to see if the coast was clear. You notice that her ears were moving like crazy, trying to listen to anyone that could be spying on you “Now, if you feel that the secret service mare its acting weird, then you give that necklace a tap, understand?”
“Okaay, but why? Don’t get me wrong, I know that you are super good at your job of being the big kahuna of the Night Guard and I assume that you have a very good reason to not trust Aegia, it’s just that I cannot see why. She’s weird, and super serious, and her formality it’s starting to drive me crazy, but I don’t feel that she’s up to something”
> Moonlight sighs “Listen, for the past three days or so, Discord has been using his magic to promote it across all of Equestria and somehow, he managed to convince tons of famous ponies to perform here… I don’t know why, or how, but he did it… and believe it or not, that’s not the surprise, what WAS a surprise was that you became a part of his marketing campaign…”

>>28529912
“WHAT?!”
>Moonlight nods and pulls out a poster from her armor and handles it to you “Take a look…”
>You grab the poster with your magic and read it. It was a fairly minimalistic piece of advertising. This was honestly surprising coming from Discord, but a welcomed change, all things considered.
>The poster showed Ponyville’s silhouette over a yellow background with the title “CHAOS CARNIVAL: Where all of your dreams can come true!” on the top and written with big, pink letters.
>On the bottom it specified dates, locations, permits and so on. That was all fine and dandy until you see one of the taglines that the poster had bellow the specifications of a prank contest that had what you felt was a real big prize in cash…
“With the guest of honor: Prince Anon! Come and meet the son of the rulers of Equestria…”
>You toss the poster away, and rub your temples. That son of a fucking bitch wanted you there as some sort of attraction. That’s why he invited you and why he wanted so hard for you to go.
“Dissssscooooooooord!”
>You take a deep breath and look to Moonlight. Thinking very hard and very deep about what could this whole thing mean, and Discord’s motivations.
“Do you think that he’s up to something? Because if that’s the case… I don’t know…I understand that he looks suspicious, and I have my reservations too, especially with something like this… but if we think deeper about this, why would he -“
> Moonlight cuts you off, deducing where you were going with your train of thought ”Discord’s intentions are legit, he’s doing all of this because he wants to save face after the Tirek debacle… which I guess it’s something that Luna hasn’t explained you yet”
“Eeeeh, nope…. But more importantly, how do you know that? I don’t suppose that Discord just told you everything”

>>28529918
>Moonlight gives you a little smirk, looking proud of herself “Did you really think that I wouldn’t double check his intentions? I’m fully aware that he’s not the most honest guy around…but his best friend is, and so are the rest of the elements of harmony, all of them are vouching for him. He’s really doing all of this to show all of Equestria that he’s a good guy now”
>So that Tirek shit must have been a big fuck up from his part. What did he do? Summoned a gigantic space green hand or something?
“Oh! You mean that yellow pegasi…errr…flutter-something… yeah, I remember that Discord brought me to her just so he could show off how much of a good guy he is…. But seriously, all of them? Even Twilight?
>”Yup, even the Princess of Friendship… of course that doesn’t justify that you became one of his marketing major attractions, but that’s not point, these posters didn’t start to circulate until yesterday afternoon, and it seems that they were everywhere except for Canterlot and Ponyville. Nopony in the Guard knew about this before today except for…”
“The secret service?”
>Moonlight nods again “That’s correct, they must have held that information on purpose…”
“But for what reason? Listen, my mom… err… Celestia in this case, agreed to let me go to this mess of an event yesterday. So Discord must have started circulating these things after that, why would the secret service held that information on purpose? I’m not sure that my mothers didn’t know
>“I don’t know if Princess Celestia or Luna knew about this. But I can tell you that we only knew about this today’s morning, trust me…” Moonlight takes off her helmet, revealing that beautiful pink mane of hers “if I had known about this earlier, I would’ve declined the commandership of this whole operation so I could be your bodyguard…”

>>28529928
“So what you are saying is that the secret service wanted to assign one of their members to be my bodyguard? That sounds… “
>Moonlight places her hooves on your shoulders ”I know how it sounds, but they always do this kind of over convoluted stuff, that’s why I don’t trust them. So please little dude, if that mare starts to act weird…”
“I tap the gem on my necklace, got it…”
>”Or you tell Discord…” Moonlight puts her helmet on again, detecting that someone was approaching “We don’t have much time left, so I will just say this again. Discord’s intentions are legit, so he’s not a threat here, if something bad happens, you either tap that gem or tell that chaotic spaz that you are in some deep trouble, understand?”
>You nod and as a joke, give her a military salute “Yes ma’am!”
>Moonlight cringes a little bit at your cute display, but pats you on the head nonetheless ”Eeeeeh… just a yes was enough… take it from somepony that’s not your mother… that cutesy attitude gets old very fast, and when that happens, you will end up looking like a wimp and nopony…”
“Likes a wimp, yeah, Cherrywood told me the same… no need to be that stiff, you know? I was joking, and I have enough stiffness coming from…”
>”Ahhh, Mon Petit, here you are. It is time for us to go to Ponyville. So please, if you have finished your business with General Moonlight…” Aegia pulls you closer and gives Moonlight an emotionless stare
>Moonlight looks to Aegia and then to you. She gives you a little wink and you nod ”We are finished, here…”
> Aegia pulls you even closer ”Good. So zat means zat we can go now, oui? Because I don’t zink zat ze spirit of chaos is known to be very patient…”
>”Yes… “ Moonlight gives Aegia a distrusting look “I’ll make sure that the Princesses know that their son has arrived safely. I expect that you can keep him like that for the weekend…”

>>28529945
>Aegia nods “Zat won’t be a problem. I’m le crème of le crème. Nozing will harm the Prince while I take care of him. Oh, and before we go. Ze captain of ze ship zat you captured comes from Prance. Her name is Sunset Airlines. She came here to see ze carnival as a reward for her crew. So please consider zat when you write your report” Aegia gives Moonlight a military salute
>Moonlight nods ”I was aware of the first part, and I will talk to that prench pony later… oh and Anon?”
“Yes?”
>Monlight gives you a soft smile and a hig before parting ”Don’t worry, I’ll send a letter to Luna telling that her “little star” is safe and sound… Ah! And before I forget, Cherrywood says that you better keep that radio… whatever it is, on. She REALLY wants to know how the carnival is like”
>And with that, Moonlight gives you one last hug and flies away to face the madness that the Guard HQ was undergoing currently. At this point, you can’t do anything other than wish her the best of luck.
>”Now please follow me, Mon Petit. We need to get into zat chariot and reach Ponyville. I zink zat many ponies are waiting for you…” Aegia motions you to follow her, you take a glance at her… yeah… something wasn’t right with this mare.
>The two of you get on the chariot. While it takes off, you have a last glance at the outpost… everyone was running around. Moonlight was discussing something with that prench captain, and more and more ponies were being brought inside the HQ… what a nightmare.
>The chariot continues its journey towards Ponyville, getting closer and closer to the strange cloud that surrounded the entire town. The noise from the festivities going outside was assaulting your senses, but the sight of this gas formation…
> It was something that made your mind go haywire with endless hypothesis about what it could be and how it could be possible, all of them tracing back to a single answer: Discord.

>>28529950
>Your body tenses when the chariot finally starts to penetrate the cloud, and your nervousness was increasing by the second, as the further the chariot breached the cloud, the clearer it was to see the strangest and most fantastical things that you have ever seen, and probably will ever see in your entire life.
>No one dared to speak a word as the chariot flew through these clouds of madness. Even Aegia was awe struck at the otherworldly spectacle that was happening in front of her eyes. You have to give your respect to those pegasi who were pulling the chariot across the storm of chocalete milk and cotton candy that was raging.
>You can easily see the fear in their eyes, and despite not being able to hear their whispers, you know that they are talking about being pulled to certain doom, but they march on as the brave stallions that they were.
>Buildings conformed of Non-Euclidean forms comes flying close, too close to the chariot but never actually come close to being an actual danger, almost as if it was some kind of taunt or sick joke. Some came from the front, others from behind, others from below and above… and others comes flying in more impossible angles, the kind that would defy any natural law.
> Among the clouds and gas formations you could easily see weird and terrifying shadows and shapes, some made of disgusting palpitating globes, others looked like a combination of an octopus, with an elephant and even human, others were shapeless and yet pulsating with life.

>>28529959
> All of them were flying around, seemingly convulsing at the rhythm of what you think was music, or at least that’s the only thing that you could come up with about that sound’s nature. It had certainly an identifiable melody, that was sure, but it sounded so mad, so incomprehensible, and so alien that it sent a shiver down your spine, and making part your mind to come up with the most extravagant explanations about you were witnessing.
>For anyone who was a good observer, the little details among the chaos were clear. Almost as if this madness was some sort of grandiose orchestra, the buildings came in regular intervals; the shadows were dancing in their strange and nauseating choreography. The more that lent your attention to the music, the more coherent it started to sound. As crazy as it sounds, this was the work of a master in chaos.
>But everything has come to an end, and thankfully this little trip into the depths of madness finally meets its own as the sight of Ponyville becomes clear in the near distance. This is it, there’s no turning back… the chaos carnival it’s finally here… and you are the main attraction.

Also, I can understand why PhD Anon is angry about misuse of helium, but I'd bet most readers aren't quite as autistic as I am and thus would assume you meant hydrogen gas due to the Hindinburg meme group. A meme that triggers my ass burgers quite keenly, if I do say so.

>You look around to see that Twilight is using some sort of magical jedi bullshit on you, the source of which you infer is her glowing horn
>Now, you consider yourself a rational person
>Your fears consist of realistic and likely things, such as mirrors, lawyers, the Flu, GMOs and other forms of dark magic

Well shit dawg I don't know what's happening in your life.

But thank.

>>28534292
I was bored, and /mlp/ has been awfully slow for like three days. Hell, fucking 4chin is. NMS devs are getting investigated by the UK government and Battleborn is ging F2P and threads don't last long.

So, I had to poke my fun you know? Besides, no one is calling all the set ups I'm doing for this whole carnival event

>>28533944
about the same

>>28534330
First I don't see how NMS is any different than the shit EA and Ubisoft used to pull. I don't think developer rambling during interviews counts as advertisement otherwise Peter Monelyoux would have been launched into the sun a decade ago.
Second, Bsttleborne going F2P was an enivatibility. Third I know I spelt some of those words incorrectly.

>>28534391
Damn. Here's hoping you feel better.

>>28528655
>Gertrude began her tale, she stepped back. and looked into the deep dark void of her memories. "Where to begin. Well, let's start with the more important aspect of revealing exactly what these two kings are actually up to. About a little over a year ago, Flim and Flam started building this factory, or rather..a power station of some sort. The two kings were on to creating a new technological revolution with their inventions. One of which, was a power station that could bring electricity to all of Equestria in abundance. Of course, business wise, this would also mean they'd have a monopoly over it. Everything was legitimate at first, this place had actual workers during it's testing phases and nothing seemed to be going wrong."
>A power station? Was that what that orb was? But then, what did the power consist of
"Hold on, a power station? Like a power plant? If that's what this is then what exactly is the power source? It can't be elecricity. Or coal..or whatever. Is it what the foals are mining?"
>Gertrude shook her head "No, what they are mining are materials to keep this place going.Crystals are very useful for regulating waves of magic. Which is what the power source actually is."
>Chrysalis was skeptical of that. She didn't believe those two could build something to harnass that much magic. "And how did those two ever manage to build a machine that can harness that much magic? That's impossible. And even if it is. What kind of magic? Everypony seems to be able to use magic just fine."
>"It's amazing what you can accomplish if you give yourself the power of an alicorn" Gertrude answers
>Powers of an Alicorn? She doesn't mean...
"Are you telling me they used the Alicorn Amulet? If they did, wouldn't one of them be wearing it right now?"

>>28534938
>I don't think developer rambling during interviews counts as advertisement otherwise Peter Monelyoux would have been launched into the sun a decade ago.
All of those examples are true, but they do not exempt Sean from lying at every turn. At least something is being done with this crappy game.

And yes, Battleborne going F2P was a predictable thing, the point is that fucking Gearbox got forced into doing that. A loss for them is a win for everyone else, fuck them, fuck them in the fucking ass

>>28534998
>Gertrude shook her head "No, they both know of the corrupting properties of the amulet and so they both used it in turns to bolster their abilities and technique while avoiding it's corrupting effects. Most everything you've seen was born from the ideas they conceived using the amulet, including this power station. Although, I'm not convinced they managed to avoid the amulet's hold completely. In either case, the station was to go through a testing phase for one whole year before becoming Equestria's largest power source. But of course, when you have something so large being ran by fools, their's something bound to go wrong. And that, is the answer to your question. The energy they were gathering to power everything was the very magic of Equestria itself. The magic that kept the Everfree forest from being torn apart, the magic that made even the barest lands fertile, in fact. I'm surprised none of you had noticed that this world should have been destroyed some time ago"
>Should have been destroyed? That was confusing. Even Chrysalis was confused.
>"Already destroyed? By what?" Chrysalis asks
"Yeah, that's kind of weird. Do you mean like..by Tirek or something?"
>"Tirek? No, these were the beings capable of destroying the entire world in a few moons. These creatures feed on hatred and misery. I'm sure you both know the story of Hearth Warming" Gertrude reminds the both of you
>Chrysalis shows a look of disgust "How can I forget, the ponies celebrate it every year"
>....but...oh lord.
"But they don't celebrate it in this Equestria. What you're saying is the windigos should have destroyed everything by now"
>"Well Well, it seems Discord's "son" isn't a total idiot after all. That's exactly right. This station even drained the magic that allows the windigos to form and exist. Mix that with the pollution the kings' inventions have caused and you have a world that will soon be dead." Gertrude explains

>>28535026
True, not excusable but I learned my lessons about this shit about 16 years ago. Also I don't hate on Gearbox. BB was never my game and I don't give a single unfounded shit about the Aliens debacle. They're still on my not naughty list.

Wow Erf, this shit is heavy

>>28535052
That would be true, if they didn't rape Duke Nukem 3D too

>>28535049
>Chrysalis still didn't understand, nor did you, on the slave aspect. "Then why are the slaves needed? Why aren't they doing anything to fix their mistake? I may want to conquer Equestria but even I know not to cause it's destruction"
>"They have realized their mistake. They just haven't told anypony else but me and their diamond guard. You see, they believe there is no way to fix the world. They think even if they were to release the magic, it'd either be too late or the windigos would form from the released magic and destroy everything anyway. So they went into seclusion for about a month, researching everything they could about about stopping this crisis without letting the public know. Of course, since they have no understanding of fixing their mistakes, they soon turned to other means...and found about about interdimensional travel. Apparently Starswirl had done research on the subject and had left notes hidden away deep inside the castle archives. With that, the kings began to convert the power station into a dimensional gateway. And then took on slave labor to maintain the station while keeping the public out of the know. But of course, a factory like this requires vast resources to keep running. I'm sure you both noticed how odd it was that they were taking entire kingdoms at a net loss of their revenue"
>"...I thought something was off about that. You can't just buy kingdoms and expect to profit. When I was pointing out places to Flim, he had mentioned that they had mining facilities there." Chrysalis recalls what caused the alarm in the first place "It's what caused this..."Code Zero" alarm, as you call it"
>But then...
"Then that means they have just been giving up their profit to try to get as much material as they can before they leave everyone for dead...holy shit. That's one hell of a scam...."

>>28531255
Bruh I was at work or I'd have read our sooner. Chill man, good update. Also nice dubs.

>>28535094
>"It is. in fact, They already have the magic they need to attempt to open a portal. that's why I assumed you both were here. Some sort of dimensional screw up. But if that's not the case, then why are you both here?" Gertrude was intrigued
>"We're here on the will of Discord. The idiot thought it'd be "fun" to throw us both into a random universe to try to fix it, we can't even leave until we do." Chrysalis then spoke in a sarcastic tone as rage began to well up inside her "Good to know our lives don't hang in the balance or anything. No, this is exactly how I imagine my end would be. Obliterated by an excess of malice..."
>"Now look who's getting emotional. Then again, if left up to us, we wouldn't be able to do a thing. No, it's still possible to save the world. A very slim chance, but possible. Of course, that would require dethroning the kings and then somehow making everypony realize that the glimmer glammer of their rule was a farce. I heard there was to be a contract signing of some sort. So I assume, since there was a code zero. That they signed away their royalty, hmm?"
>You nod, that was exactly it. But holy shit, was that really going to be enough now?
>No, there was still one ace up your sleeve. And that ace was a princess. If anypony could get all the other ponies to see the light. It was her. Because you now knew now. That the mane 6 plus a baconpone...we're still good deep down inside. Of course, if you never got out of the castle. There'd be no proof of the contracts anyway.
"Yeah, we made them sign a contract to sign away their crowns. But. If they could leave now. Why wait?"

>>28535157
>"Because they are afraid of entering an Equestria that is ruled by a tyrant, a monster, or even another King Sombra. They have no way of knowing where they will end up. So they have been gathering extra materials to make an army of machines, strange machines used for combat. Outfitting them with the best anti-magic material they could find, along with some other nonsense I refuse to comprehend. So tell me, knowing all this. How do you plan to fix everything?" Gertrude asks "Because if you have nothing. I'll just turn you both in right-"
>Gertrude stops when she hears the door behind her open.
>The three of you turn to see the young colt, Pop fly, walk out into the playroom with a tired yawn. "Momma Gertrude, are you ok?"
>Gertrude stops, and tenses up. She almost doesn't answer. But when Pop Fly calls to her again. She turns to check on him. "Pop Fly.." she says in a motherly voice as she leans down to pet him "What are you doing out of bed sweetie?"
>Pop Fly looked like he had tears in his eyes, he sat down and started whining "I fell asleep waiting and..I had that nightmare again."
>Gertrude brought him in close to hug onto him "Shhh, Pop Fly, how many times do I have to tell you that you're not going to be fed into the factory to make rainbows. The Rainbow Factory was dismantled anyway, remember? And they never used foals to begin with"
>"I-I Know..." Pop Fly felt ashamed for having this nightmare again "But, it's so hard not to think about. We work all day, and we don't even know why. All the diamond dogs are really mean and the kings don't really seem to care about us. I feel so alone, that's why I like it when you're around Momma Gertrude...you never let me feel alone"

>>28535290
>"Oh Pop Fly. You have to have more hope in your heart than that. You have friends with the foals you work with you know" Gertrude lets him nuzzle into her. She could feel his tears building.
>"B-but I never have time to talk to them. Break times are so short. And we have nothing in common. That's why you're the best momma I've ever had Momma Gertrude. You're always there, you never say my thoughts are dumb. You actually believe I can be the best hoofball player ever in Equestria when I grow up"
>"And you will, the work you put here in the factory will make you big and strong. You'll show those lazy athletes a thing or two when you get into the major leagues. But Pop Fly, Momma Gertrude is doing something really important. You need to go back to bed"
>But he only hugged tighter, nuzzled deeper "But I don't wanna! I wanna be here with you. I don't care about the story, I just want to be with you always. I don't want to be alone!"
>Gertrude sighed, and let him cry. He didn't care that he was hugging onto her cold exoskeleton. It felt warm and inviting to him. "Pop Fly, I know you're scared.A lot of ponies are.. But if you breakdown and can't show the others that there's a reason to be brave. Then they all will get scared. And then things will fall apart. And then I'd have to go"
>"But why?!" He cried "what does it matter?! Why would you have to go! I don't want you to go!"
>"Pop Fly," Gertrude giggled, and moved him back and gently raised his head with her hoof. "How do you expect to make team captain with that kind of attitude?"
>"H-huh?" Pop Fly sniffed "What do you mean?"

>>28535290
>"Well, the greatest players in sports we're always brave, strong, some even lead their teams to victory. How can you say you'll be the greatest hoofball player ever if you fall apart like this? Those foals need to see somepony who is strong and brave so they don't lose hope. So they can smile. And when they look to you for that reminder. They will say "Gee, that Pop Fly sure is cool! I wanna be like him some day" You my little one..." Gertrude gives him a small boop on the nose, making him giggle "Are the bravest little pony I know"
>Pop Fly was awestruck by those words, his little mind couldn't comprehend why she'd think that "R-really?"
>"Mhmmm, that's why you need to go back in there and be brave for me. I promise I'll be back. But you need to be brave for the others while I'm gone...alright?"
>Pop Fly nodded, and gave her a brave look as he saluted "I got it Momma Gertrude! I won't let you down! I won't let anypony down!"
>Gertrude gave him a pat "That's what I like to hear. I know you can do it Pop Fly, I'll see you soon"
>"I know you will Momma Gertrude! And no worries! I'll make sure the others don't get worried too! Seeya soon too!" Pop Fly said with renewed vigor as he went back through the doors.
"That was adorable. Why can't you be more like that Chrysalis?"
>You look to Chrysalis with a smirk. In which she groans in response "Because I refuse to be whipped..." Chrysalis looks to Gertrude, wanting to know what that was about "So then, it's worse than I could imagine. You really feel like you're their mother."

>>28535385
>Gertrude, surprisingly, snaps at Chrysalis. She found that remark to be reprehensible. "Don't you dare mock me! You have yet to know how devastating losing your beloved drones really feels. Those foals have lost their families just as I have lost mine.Unlike the rest of the ponies who deserve our hatred, these little ones look at me as I am and see a mother.And They need one. I could mold their minds If I so chose but I need them to produce love to survive"
>"Mhmmm, sure. But am I to guess that you made a deal with the kings to bring along you're little faux hive? That's the real reason you'd prefer to stay here, isn't it? Wouldn't want the little ones to end up in a situation worse than this one, hmm? I wonder if there's a timeline where we conquered Equestria. Wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen if you ended up in that one" Chrysalis was losing respect for her other self quickly when she started to grasp how much she actually cared for the foals.
>"You can mock me all you want.." Gertrude looks to Chrysalis with angry eyes, but she kept her cool, as a queen should.She didn't pop off from that comment "But it'll be inevitable for you as well. Sooner or later there will be something other than the hive you'll want to protect and keep safe for reasons other than your own satisfaction. That is your fate"
>Chrysalis scoffed at that "Oh please, that will never happen."
"W-woah hold on!"
>You didn't want an actual fight to occur. This looked like it could actually happen. Gertrude looked legit pissed.

>>28535404
"Chrysalis..erm..Gertrude..umm..whatever you want to call yourself. Look, everything aside. I think you're doing an awesome job. And if you want to protect the foals. That's great too. Look, we already have a plan.Because, y'know, if we put Celestia back in power. She could make everypony see the light. I've seen her recently. Just by being around her, ponies figure out what makes them happy and what's important. She even managed to make her old pupil, who by the way became a demon once, to see the error of her ways. I promise you. I have a way to make it work. So you don't need to worry"
>Gertrude turned her attention to you. She actually seemed to be calming down. You didn't know why. But it was because you were a colt. Despite all the teasing she's done thus far. now that even her alternate self has started to lose respect for her. She actually felt relieved that you weren't a jerk. "Anon...is it?"
>You nod, a little worried
"Yeah..erm..you ok?"
>"I'm fine, just surprised you can tolerate her. Given I WAS her once. I honestly thought we'd see eye to eye. But that doesn't matter now. We're losing time. Tell me, are you sure Celestia is up to the task? Last I knew, she had gone senile" Gertrude looked to you, softening up as she shrugged away the insults of her other self.
"Yeah, she's really coming around after I brought half the elements of harmony to her for a visit. It really helped fixed things."
>"Hmm? The elements of harmony?" Gertrude was confused "I thought that they never came to be"

>>28535424
"Yeah well, they "came to be" back in our Equestria. So I knew who'd they be here. Rounded em up and everything and Celestia just. Well, you could say she snapped back into place. And hey, don't worry about what Chrysalis has to say. If you wanna know in detail. Discord kicked her butt and made her and the entire hive a permanent resident at the house. She can't even leave without being stuck in that disguise. It's pretty good. Even the Captain had it and abandoned ship to...well, erm. let's skip that part..but yeah. I really do think what you're doing is great Chrysalis."
>"Hmph..just call me Gertrude" Gertrude looked to Chrysalis and smirked "It might be a better name to take. Better to have those around you who will follow you to the ends of Equestria than be stuck with the greatest imbecile that's ever existed, to the point where even those who loyally serve you begin to question you. One has to wonder if it was more than just the captain...The captain, heh" Gertrude was already calming down "You must have done something very wrong to lose the loyalty of the one who's supposedly the most loyal"
>Chrysalis was rolling the end of the necklace Flim gave to her along her hoof, she scoffed at Gertrude's words "He betrayed me because he thought he could do a better job. And now he's gone. My ne captain is much more loyal than a bunch of snot nosed foals could ever be"
>"We'll see....anyway.." Gertrude looks to you, and actually gives you a genuine smile "If you're the son of Discord, even adopted. It must mean you have some amazing talent that can save this world. I've told you everything I know. All that's left is to lead you out of here. Their's a hidden exit that leads to the castle gardens. It was supposed to be used as an emergency exit for the old workers. But now only the kings, Captain Applejack, and myself have a key for it. I'll sneak you both out through there...and then..I'll leave the rest to you"

>>28535448
"And trust me Gertrude, I promise we'll fix everything. We won't let this world die by those kings or by some stupid windigo crap."
>You hug onto Gertrude, who tenses up, and then gently hugs onto you
"I promise"
>Chrysalis looked at the whole scene, at first, it almost looked like she had some sort of envy in her expression. But then she turned away "Come on already, this is getting sickening"
>But as Chrysalis turned to the exit doorways. They began to slowly open. At first she could see Applejack. Which caught you and Gertrude by surprise as well. But as the doors open further. You all could see Applejack being held by the scruff by Bones as some of the diamond guard stood behind him. When the doors fully opened, standing behind the other door of the double doors was......oh no.
>"Well Well Well, look at what we have here Flim. A whole gaggle of traitors"
>"Right you are Flam, and of course we managed to hit the bonus too. interdimensional travelers.Looks like Starswirl was right on the money. There is a way to escape this dying world after all"
>Bones threw Applejack into the room, she was beat up and bruised, she just slid across the floor, groaning as she slowed down in front of the three of you.
>Applejack just laid there as she looked up to you three, weak from her beating. "Sorry fellas...I don't know how they found out, but...ngh" Applejack passed out.
>Ahhhh shiiiiiiiiit

>>28535503
thats it for the night. i added a detail or two in the pastebin to flesh things out a tiny bit. but there you go. we have reached the final climax

>>28535520
Liked this I interaction between chrysalises better, as now it's varied from 'two bitches being mean to each other and also Anon' to different characters who went through different experiences, and anon being a useful mediator. Good job!
Also love the raised stakes.

>>28536027
And grrat update!

>>28535078
Hah, they practically fixed the game where 3DRealms couldn't. I thought it was a delightful little romp for the price.

>>28536397
>>28536397
What the fuck are you talking about? The edition that 3D Realms released it's just the vanilla game witj even more glitches, a shitty 3D shader and incompability with 20 years worth of mod because they decided to port the game to a new (and buggy) engine and not even have the decency to also include an eduke32.exe file

>>28536728
*That Gearbox released

>28536728
Whoops, sorry. I thought this was about Duke Nukem Forever. Forgive me please.

>thats it for the night.
Fucking groovy green disco right there, Erf.

I suspect why Flim and Flam knew and got the drop on AJ and the gang is due to a diet rich in bacon.

The way you took what I thought would be a total cringe inducing lift of the FF7 mythos was way better than expected, if you didn't mention it I wouldn't have even made the connection. Very smooth tying it in with the windigos et al.

The climax is sure climaxing up in this shit, what a keen cliff hanger!

>>28537045
Death is not good enough for Flim and Flan.

>>28537736
Fuck. Flam.
Fucking aggressive auto correct that keeps correcting if you add a period.

>>28537736
Why kill them when you can make them suffer for what they have done to Equestria?
Death is just liberty for them.

>>28537750
True.
I wonder if Gertrude will end up with them in her new hive of horrors, assuming she lives and whatnot.

I'm sure changelings can generate huge, spikey genitalia if directed to do so :)

Jesus Chrisf, elo went full lovecraft in that last part. Now I feel awful that he cancelled his story

>>28537045
What, did you expect meteors, emos, and ponesephiroth?

as for cringe....juuuuust wait
