>What is this thread about?
This thread revolves around stories about ponies being enslaved.

>Can you elaborate more?
Sure! SPG (Slave Pony General) is mostly about characters dealing with the actual implications of the horrifying thing that is chattel slavery. It's more looking at how people with modern sensibilities deal with the ownership of another sentient being, and how most people aren't total cunts.
If you want an explanation on the differences between /SPG/ and /SiM/, go check out the FAQ.

>What kind of themes are welcome?
Most of them are welcome but a select few aren't. These are Fat, Diaper, Vore and Scat. If you're unsure about a certain element in your story, ask me about it and I can confirm it.

>I want to write my own story but I'm new to writing.
Check out these guides:

>Where do the writers hang out?
Head over to www.rizon.net/chat with the channel name #slavepone. If you're ever having a writer's block and need advice or you just want to hang out with us, that is the place to go! (You can also use a standalone IRC client if you already have one).

The black thing is not a whip, it's just part of the tape that sealed the box

>>29125034
I assume Jingles was a faggot who wanted to make a Christmas themed OP, but realized that the then current thread would die about six days after Christmas ended; so he had some guy from the IRC spam it to bump limit so he could make a new one.

She will never be more than happy to give you a lift despite being two sized too small.

UPDATE WHEN?
>>
with shiny anon being in so much emotional distress right now I expect corona to get beaten again and again and whipped till her haunches bleedor until she passes out from getting choked by anon when she tries to escape the room
>>
>>29128674
K edgy boi

Not at all. Corona has been punished, harshly, and now she is forgiven.
>>
>>29128674
Really hope Shiny Anon is ok, and not just because more green.
>>
>>29128732
Me too, this year was very difficult for him and days like these give us a great sadness and depression, I know.
>>
>>29128732
He popped in earlier just long enough to let us know he loves the OP pic, but he hasn't been back on since.

>Yawning, you get up to the sound of ruckus.
>Then, you remember that it's Saturday.
>Saturday was becoming a day of recreation for the slaves, they'd get into drum circles and talk about politics.
>And since you really forgot to tell spike to go back to the fields, he decided to begin making breakfast for you.
>Which is more than you could ask for out of him, being honest.
>Walking down the steps to the kitchen, today you smell oatmeal and hash browns with cider on the side.
>In a haze you sit down, pulling up yesterday's pants, laid crinkled on the floor.
>You put those on through a storm of yawning while spike, in a apron- comes out with a plate of food.
>He gets some whatever he wanted, you didn't care.
>Why should you? You were rich enough to build yourself a suit of golden armour and a fucking blade.
>"You think those tobacco plants'll grow?"
>You rip yourself out of your mind, sipping your harder than mac's cock cider.
"Eh? With magic they should."
>"But it's way out of season, that's my concern."
"It's magic, Spike- and you know what that means."
>With a sigh, he says "You don't have to explain shit."
>You tap him on his forehead, taking in some oats at the same time.
"Righto."

>"Alright girls, this next instrument is very easy to learn! You just…"
>After that, you trail off, and simply blow your nose.
>Then the instructor goes silent, looking at you and smiling.
"Like that!"
>All the ponies turn and look up at you, clapping their hooves a little.
>"Congrats! Princess! You've already got the hang of the Tam Tam!"
Quickly, you stamper out "I Did?"
>"Go ahead! Do it again." Your instructor says, egging you on.
>You take a deep breath before blowing your nose again.
"Blrrrrrt!"
>The ponies start to cheer, some of them whooping.
"But that just sounds like a gong."
>Mutually, the ponies shout "SHUN!"
>"A Tam Tam is not a gong! Princess! You should know better!"
>Your sister turns to you.

"It's not the mistake I'm worried about.

>To your left is the Blacksmithing workshop, headed by Big Mac.

>A few moans could be heard from that direction.
>And a couple of ponies have taken to the fields so they can earn a midweek day-off.
>Which some ponies would rather have.
"God damned introverts."
>There are a few more but you don't care about them.
>Mostly you just stand around and fuck with ponies.
>Twilight's your favorite.

"Hey Twilight!"
>From the Applefucking workshop comes the princess.

>It's Saturday, they're allowed to stutter on Saturday.
>Some ponies just spend the whole day stuttering.
"Oh, I was wondering- If I had Starswirl's wand…"

"Look, a dead bird."

"I'm just fucking kidding, carry on."
>A couple ponies sigh, and look forward.

"It gets bigger when I pick more."
>He Grunts in satisfaction.
>Perfect.
"Sometimes I pick so hard, I rip the bag."

Owning a slav is a big responsibility.

Now when you approach your slav make sure to not crouch on your toes. This shows him youre a filthy american. He may be liable to attack if he smells capitalism on you. Mask your stench with adidas sporting appearal. Never let your slav near the booze. Their natural drink is vodka, but they have been known to drink all kinds of alchohol, when a slav drinks he become recklass, and exhibits a couldnt care less atitude that'd rival Camus.
And most important, kolishkinov is not toy.

Rarity's Last Chance: Sequel http://pastebin.com/qV1Xg1Hf

It's not done, but fuckit. I'm busy lately with family. Merry Christmas SPG

(Continued from where it left off)

>You touched the brush down on Rarity’s flank and focused down.
>Rarity balls up a bunch of the bed covers and uses them like a pillow. She whimpers.
>“How… hard, Master?”

>You strengthen your hold on her and pull her toward you. Her butt, your target, is in good position.
>The sad question demonstrates her acceptance of your punishment of her, but she’s very scared.
>She should be. This is not going to be over that quickly.
>“Hard. You earned it, Rarity.”

>Rarity whimpers again, and holds the covers in a tight squeeze.
>No point in waiting. Let’s get this done.
>You relax your arm, raise the brush, and spank her left buttock with the flat side.
>WHACK!

>“Wuhaa, OWW!”
>Rarity immediately kicks her legs out and hollers.
>Her butt clenches when the brush gives her a good POP, and you see the round spot of pink showing on her white skin, through her thin and soft coat of fur.
>You waste no time and deliver spank number 2, out of more than you’ll care to count, on the other side.
>WHACK!
>“AH! OH, Masterrr!”
>>
>>29130972
>No, not going to work, Rarity.
>Begging wasn’t going to stop your brush from giving her a well-deserved ass roasting.
>Eyes on her butt bent over your thigh, and with a firm hold that assures she’s here to stay, you begin the spanking.
>WHACK, WHACK, WHACK…

>“OW! Oh, noo… OWW! Oh goodnessssOOWW! OWWW!”
>Rarity’s white rump does little hops back and forth on your lap, but your arm on her croup keeps it in place.
>She’s not getting away.
>“OOOHH OWWW!”
>WHACK, WHACK, WHAACKK! WHAAACKK!

>As you hoped and expected, Rarity’s little horsie legs can’t truly get in your way as they kick and buck and cross over and spread out…
>Her hooves hit the mattress, thumping it like a drum
>You spank up and down and all around her soon to be red backside with the brush, and her wailing fills up the room
>It’s a little hard to hear, you admit.
>But you aren’t stopping yet.
>This was a much better arrangement than last time you punished her, more stable for you and her.
>Rarity tries to wiggle and kick, but she’s helpless.
>“OHHH OW, OW, OWW! OH CELESTIAAA!”
>WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
>>
>>29130981
>You sometimes spank from side to side, left buttock and right
>and sometimes you paddle four or five times on the same cheek, top to bottom, before doing the same to the other
>It’s all getting burning red in short time.
>Rarity whimpers and cries and gives breathless little begs in between howls and “OWW”s, and even reaches back with one of her front hooves
>Now that’s held in your hand, too, and the unruly mare’s round buttocks continue to jiggle and clench and bounce on your lap when the scrubby brush wallops them good.
>WHACK, WHACK, WHACK, WHACK…
>“OHHOO! NOOO! OWW, OWW, Master! MASTER! OWW!”

>You don’t miss a beat. Still spanking, you raise your voice over the sound of her crying.
>“Rarity, I expect things to be different here after this!”
>WHACK “AHH!” WHACK “OHH, OHHHH!” WHACK “OW, Yes, Master, YES MASTERROWWW!”

>You spank her a good dozen more times, and now she’s getting desperate.
>Gasping and wailing, she stomps her back hooves down on the bed, and she tried to push herself up and forward over your knee.
>Unluckily for her it actually only lifts her ass up higher, and expose her upper legs right beneath her lava red hot butt.
>With haste you really paddle her fast and hard, thwacking and smacking her buttocks and thighs while they’re basically pushed up into your face.

>“AAAAHHHH OWWWW! OWWOWOWOW OW OW OW OW…!”
>You keep it up until her legs fall, and she collapses down. Then, you resume at a much slower speed.
>Rarity sobs and gasps and moans in unbridled, unrestrained agony.
>It’s probably mean, but you wanted Rarity in this state.
>Her rear end was whupped red as a raspberry, and she was sweaty and exhausted.
>Lucky for her you’re almost done.
>Almost.
>With a move of your arm you push down further up on her back, closer to the withers
>Then, you tap the sobbing little unicorn’s leg with with the brush.

>“Rarity, get your butt back up in the air for me.”

End for now!

I'm not /tg/n, although I would speculate that it still holds true in Employment is Mandatory. Sure, he treats her as a roommate - and that as lets us readers forget that there are things like pony mills and nobody is doing shit to make it any better.

I dunno about that guy, but twiligh/tg/amenight obviously thinks a lot about the spectrum of attitudes people could have.

In the otherwise emotionally devastating A Deal is a Deal (where the slavery isn't even technically chattel slavery) Scootaloo's contract's owner literally refers to her as a grand daughter.
The doctor and redheart have a husband and wife like relationship.
In the Employment is Mandatory setting we're seeing an owner much more like that, even though there are obviously people out there in that world as bad or worse than Steffords or Sterling.
On the other hand, they're treated closer to animals anyways. The pony mill is illegal, they're regularly bought as pets for children. It sounds like the ponies are protected by something more like animal abuse laws, and there's less of the attitude you see in a lot of stories about basically torturing them as punishment for committing atrocities during a war.

And there are lots of hints of attitudes like these in other stories too.
>>
>>29130972
Today I am reminded that I am a moralfag.
Or maybe just sane?
The contemplation of something like a close relationship with somepony while still exercising absolute legal power over them is physically nauseating, and also much closer to what I expected when morbid curiosity first made me look at /spg/.

Not too bad on the prose though, you shit.

As Maud and Anon have a relationship of friends and colleagues where Maud's work and research will be endorsed by her human gives credibility to the geological society, something that will eventually allow her to publish her own research as a respected professional, despite Her former slave status and be a Pony, or Octavia's relationship with her owner in Sterling, where she receives the status of Favorite and is not forced to serve clients like the rest of the other mares, and Which only serves its owner.

The one that I do not decide yet is what kind of relationship is the Ling and his Anon, he helps to reunite the rest of his swarm, but, that he gains by risking losing his freedom or his life by taking ownership of other humans.

What kind of relationship would you say the shiny anon has with Shiny and Corona? I mean he treats them like family sometimes, but that whipping he gave Corona was pretty damn harsh even if it was only a belt that shit had to hurt almost as bad as an actual flogging. Also breaking Shiny's spirit somewhat by forcing him to say to his face that he's a slave and call him master... but really I think if it came down to it he'd sacrifice a lot for his little ponies. I don't know. He's kind of a white knight but not really. He never lets them forget they're slaves, even if he's pretty kind to them 90% of the time.
>>
>>29135802
At the beginning of the story, Anon had inherited the property and decided to acquire ponies of Equestria as slave laborers to put his patrimony to work, surely he saw them as cheap and obedient labor slave that would not require much training or cause problems, Who knew that his newly acquired slave had a problem that required surgery and therefore, money from his pocket could simply get rid of him to save money or claim a refund and buy a healthier pony, but he decided to save the life of Shining Although this one was a colt with bad attitude and that it did not cease to challenge it.

Why did he do it?

Perhaps because of empathy, perhaps because of the goodness of his heart, perhaps because of idiocy, or simply because he saw in Shining more than a slave.

The story of Corona is mentioned separately
>>
>>29135802
Corona is mentally fucking broken and full on Stockholm syndrome after being brutally tortured and having her closest friend murdered in cold blood just for trying to survive on the run. She got her ass beat - damn near to the point of cruelty - but all she cares about is that master isn't getting rid of her. And she flat out admitted she loves him, and has even said it out loud now. There is no possible relationship between Anon and Corona that is not exploitative on his part at this point.

Shining Armor has been pretty resistant to the idea of slavery as a whole, but he has built up a healthy respect for Anon if nothing else - and perhaps even a bit of loyalty. We saw that much when he defended his master from Sparky. No matter how he tries to play that down or rationalize it, he attacked one of his own kind to defend one of the "oppressors." That says a lot. Regardless of how much he wants to, he can't bring himself to hate Anon. He's treated him very fairly under the circumstances, and he probably couldn't ever hope for a better master than someone that saved his life and took him in to nurse him back to health. Meeting Grace has also changed Shiny I think. He sees that little girl and sees an innocent, and her combined with Anon I think are making him start to think that maybe this world isn't the hell he once thought it was, and that there are just as many good humans out there as there are bad, if not more. Shiny seems against murder, and that's totally appropriate to his character, but I honestly believe he would kill another pony if they were trying to seriously hurt Grace the way Sparky did to Anon.

This is why I love this story - things are not black and white or clear cut, and situations arise that shake up all of the characters perceptions and beliefs enough that it keeps things interesting.
>>
>>29135866
What do we know about Corona at begin?

I only remember that she bit the hand of Anon
>>
>>29135871
I can not wait to read the moment when Shining learns of the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, and to know that both Corona and Anon hid it all the time
>>
>>29135893

>>
>>29135871
If I had to put it in one term, I'd say they're his pets. He loves them but he doesn't see them as equals, and will punish them with physical force when he deems appropriate.
>>
>>29135871
Shiny is a good boy who loves his master, even if he's a sassymouth mcgrumpypants most of the time.
>>
>>29135996
Shiny loves his little Gracie even more I think. And I think he was genuinely jealous that Corona gave her her first pony ride instead of him.
>>
>>29136010
Shiny's gonna like wearing that saddle, because he's going to associate it with spending quality time with a little girl that adores him unconditionally. I for one can't wait to see what kind of work Anon has in mind for Shining. I would like to see him doing some heavy labor once he's up for it, like helping anon pull stumps out of the ground and help him tear down that old barn, stuff like that.
>>
>>29136010
Shining feels moved by the love and kindness of Grace towards his person, after having passed a hell through the humans, the little girl is like a breeze that takes away some of his pain, it is natural that being a father, Shining transfers his affection In the only pure and innocent thing that wants it without malice nor conditions
>>
>>29136028
I really hope the story ends with Anon giving Shiny to Gracie. Or at least maybe they make an arrangement where he's free to travel to Gracie's home on his own after his chores are done to spend time with her. Shiny starts spending the night over there curled up with his surrogate daughter, a couple times a week - then more and more - until he's sleeping there every night. He never comes home or spends any of his free time with Anon and Corona any more. He spends it all with Gracie. Playing games and giving pony rides, whatever he can just to see her smile.

But really though, I honestly think Shiny would be much happier if he was Gracie's pony. I don't think Anon is going to be willing to give him up. He's totally willing to let Gracie play with Shiny, but he's still Anon's pony, and he still cares for him too. He wants his home to feel like home to his two ponies as well. He wants them to take pride in living there - for them all to take pride in it after they get the place all spruced up.

After the major work is done they'll have an easy life - all they'll have to do is help Anon with minor maintenance around the property. They'll probably be granted a lot of freedom and leeway to pursue their own interests. I bet Anon would even set aside a section of his land for them to use however they see fit.

I think anon sees his ponies as companions. Companions that must sometimes be disciplined (which, as we've seen, breaks his heart to do - he doesn't want to hurt them), but still companions. He doesn't want them to fear him - but also doesn't want them to disrespect him. And honestly, they should be grateful to have such a benevolent master. He hasn't asked them to do anything he's not willing to do himself, and he's right out there working alongside them when he gets home from his day job.

He gives Shining Armor the privilege of watching cartoons on TV and rewarded Corona's hard work with a hot tub. Those ponies are his friends, even if they're slaves.

>>29136010
Grace's mother is going to win custody of her and take her back to France with her. Shiny's heart is going to be broken, he'll never get to see his little best friend ever again.
>>
>>29135996
This. Just look how much he loves those ear scritchies when Corona's not around.
>>
>>29136116
Ear scritches are the most efficient and effective method of breaking in new pony slaves and earning their loyalty.
>>
Shiny gives his master a pony ride when?
>>
>>29135996
Well I mean he willingly slept in Anon's bed to watch over him and make sure he was okay. Sure sounds like a poner that cares about his master to me.

You guys honestly think Shining Armor would be happy for the many years he has left with a young girl who will eventually turn into a teenager and lose interest in Shining Armor? At least we know Anon is a semi well adjusted Human and has his mind set on treating them right. Whereas Gracie could drastically change over the course of the next decade thus making Shining happiness turn into pit of sadness due to being abandoned. Shining is going to live for a long ass time, he's not a pet that'll die when Gracie leaves for Collage that'll live out his remainder days with his family, he'll be alive for most of her life. So I don't think you guys thought that one out.

>this shit again

Grace wouldn't "lose interest" in Shiny as she gets older. She doesn't view him like a fucking plaything, or even a pet. He's her friend. He's a talking magical unicorn who cares about her.

And besides, who the fuck gets "bored" of their pets, anyway? Dickholes who shouldn't have pets. You calling Grace a dickhole? That's fucked up dude.
>>
>>29135802
Shiny is a bdsm style owner, He both cares for his ponies but demands their nonconsentual respect and subserviance, giving him the nomenclature of an absolute superior to them. He is not a white knight, he is a caring dark night, the kind that you'd be lucky to find in a world of bandits and war.
>>
>>29135871
damn great assessment of corona, though I'd say that any relationship is exploitative in slavery, its definately the case though that anon does not want to treat his slaves like equals, so it's very clear that this breaking is exactly the kind of thing he'd be okay with.
>>
>>29136462
to be honest? A lot of people convince themselves they don't neglect their pets and they do, all the fucking time, especially horses, but cats and dogs as well. I know people who would puke at the sight of cats being hurt but treats the cats they do have as a nuisance because all they want to do is play games and they don't have a moment of time out of their day to reach down and stroke kitty a bit, nor do they take the time to teach the cat not to do things they don't want to do, they just yell at it and confuse the animal. Basically I doubt gracy will lose interest in shiny, but she will get a job, she will get friends, and she will get hobbies, Unless she provides a means for shiny to entertain himself and find fulfillment in servitude to her that relationship is not going to last.
Shiny though, can talk and be there for her, so theres always the chance that the bond will be strong enough to overcome that, but it's still there.
>>
>>29136339
Try writing it out then editing it down until you can get it into one or two posts. Articulate criticism is a powerful skill.
>>
>>29136817
I'm pretty sure he already tried that in an earlier thread and we ripped his criticism apart. Can't be entirely sure though, considering my shitty memory and the whole anonymous thing. Regardless, I think he should post it again, any content is good.
>>
>>29135757
Anon decided he wanted to RV trip on a whim because he was bored with his life and has nothing else going on
his relationship with ling is that hes taking risks because he wants to be part of something, he feels like he isnt doing anything worth while, so fuck it lets help this pony thing. it seems to me at least some would see that as selfish, even if the ultimate end result is selfless
then ling went full terminator and rescused a princess and hes in over his head being the passive fuck he is he says sure why not
now hes not sure what to do and just following links advice. while making stops doing things he wants along the way
i totally didn't come up with all this while in a food induced coma and enjoying the taste of holiday alcohols
>>
>>29134315
A man doesn't have to save all of the ponies to be a white knight. Sometimes one is enough.
Title still doesn't apply to EiM's Anon, though. He isn't a white knight because he isn't out to save Berry Punch. He doesn't patronize her like that or act like she's a princess to be rescued and instead treats her as an equal.

>friends
Job and hobbies maybe. Hobbies will probably be very relaxed and something she could enjoy with Shiny. It was already mentioned in the story that she doesn't really get along with others because she's too shy. Unless she does a complete 180 attitude, she's going to probably stay a recluse with only shiny as a best friend at that point. With people like that you need to constantly be there for them, not the other way around or they'll silently wonder what they did wrong and doubt themselves even more, though that doesn't mean they'll ignore the 1-2 people they deem closest to them.

I'm speaking from experience ;_;

>You awake before the buzzer, the small clock you’ve managed to procure for your room indicating about an hour remaining before the big day begins.
>Your bathroom isn’t private any longer, but your neighbor is still asleep, and you’re able to shower and take care of your hygiene in peace.
>With about twenty minutes still remaining before you’re allowed to get up and at ‘em, you practice your magic on a collection of rocks and pebbles, levitating them in complex patterns and rearranging them with precision and speed.
>This is going to be a piece of cake. You’re Starlight fucking Glimmer, unicorn extraordinaire! Get your game face on!
>The buzzer finally sounds, and your door unlocks with a metallic click. You practically rush down the hallway into the open commons.
>You’re the first to arrive at the tree where you and the other senior harvesters agreed to meet. Lyra is close behind, as she’d always been an early bird. Shortly after, two other unicorn mares come up to greet you, both brimming with confidence.
>”I think that’s everypony,” Lyra says as they arrive. “Starlight Glimmer, meet Ruby Heart and Sunny Streak.”
>”Pleasure to meet you,” the red-maned Ruby Heart beams. “We’ve done this before, so we’ll be here if you need our help or advice.”
>Her white-and-cream companion adds, “But I don’t think you’ll need it, if half of what we’ve heard of your magic is true.”
>The four of you discuss tactics and magic for a few minutes before the breakfast bell rings. You didn’t get a chance to help out this morning, but the cooking crew thankfully managed to get everything ready on time. You get four seats together, and continue your conversation over warm pancakes.
>>
>>29139570
>As you’re eating, the corner of your eye spots Applejack weaving in and among the tables, offering encouragement to all sorts of ponies along the way. After a few minutes, she manages to break away from the clinging masses and come directly to your table.
>”Whoo-ie, there’s plenty’a eager ponies today. Ah think we’ll do just fine this year. How’re y’all doin’? Starlight, ya think yer up for the challenge?”
You put on your ‘confident face’ and boast, “You know it, AJ. Don’t forget, though, I still need Anonymous to dial down my magic before I get out there.”
>Your teammates’ faces light up with a hint of surprise at your informal reference to the boss.
>”Oh! Can’t believe we almost forgot! And naw, don’t worry, I can get it. Bend your head down, lemme see that horn.” You shrug your shoulders and crane your neck. “Now, it’s a bit harder with hooves but… there. You should be set and ready to go.”
>You suppose it makes sense that Applejack has the authority to control your magic, and you’d probably prefer her doing it to anypony or anyone else, but the act still unsettles you somewhat. How could it not? It’s the greatest reminder of this entire system you can think of.
>You can feel your magic returning. You could probably levitate this entire sitting area at once with this much power.
>Of course, you’re still gimped, to a degree. None of the crazier spells are going to work today.
>Applejack sweeps her gaze across the rest of your companions, “And y’all have your magic opened up’n ready to go too, right?” They all nod in the affirmative. “Well then, ah’ll leave y’all to yer talk, then. Good luck out there, and remember, if anyone gives ya trouble, just tell one of us.”
>>
>>29139578
As she trots off, you ask your companions, “Trouble? Would anypony give us trouble?”
>Ruby Heart shrugs and responds, “Harvest time is a chance to prove yourself, if that’s what you care about. Lots of rewards and awards handed out to the ponies who really pitch in. Some of ‘em get a bit pushy in their rush to outperform.”
“Pushy? How, should I be worried?”
>Sunny Streak shakes her head and smiles lightly, “Oh naw, don’t worry about that. Nopony’s ever started a fight over a few berries. Might just try to move in front of you, keep you from working in a high-yield area, something like that.”
>Lyra adds, “We get seniority, which means that if we think we can get more work done somewhere, other ponies have to clear out. If they try to cause any trouble, just get Sweetie Belle to help you out. She’ll sort things out.”
>Sweetie Belle would be in charge of your orchard, both helping out with the harvest and mediating disputes. She’d never been very good with magic, though, so she isn’t part of the senior harvest team. That doesn’t mean she isn’t the boss, of course.
>The breakfast buzzer sounds, but rather than slipping away haphazardly to their respective corners of the farm, the ponies now begin to arrange themselves into large groups of about 80-100 each. Big Mac, Applejack, and the Crusaders each lead one of the groups, separated geographically.
>You wouldn’t have to walk far, the primary orchard where you would be working was nearby the main house and pony housing. Others, like Big Mac’s group, had over a mile to walk.
>There was talk that a secondary housing unit would be built over the winter for ponies working near the property lines, to keep them closer to their work permanently and cut walking times.
>>
>>29139582
>You’d even heard a few rumors of a small rail system being set up instead, although you doubted any credibility they could have had. Regardless, you couldn’t imagine this property expanding hundreds of acres more in production without some transportation solution.
>Your group gets organized quickly, and before you know it, you’ve got a collection basket around your neck and are being led towards the sprawling orchard.
>Time to show them what you’re made of.
>…
>>
>>29139587
>The work isn’t tiring, especially compared to the heavy lifting you’d been doing all week. With your freed magic, the harvest was smooth sailing.
>It did require concentration, however. The berries were easily crushed by hasty magic, and you were afraid for a while that too many were being cast into your discard pouch.
>A quick comment from a fellow worker, however, helped you to realize that a few mishaps were to be expected. It wasn’t a huge deal if too many were crushed, as they could still be used in a number of products.
>You start slow, picking just a few at a time with your magic. Soon enough, you’ve mastered just how much pressure to apply and how firm to pull on the tiny red orbs, and you can do an entire branch and eventually an entire bush at a time.
>Although that’s supposed to be the limit of your magic, you find yourself easily able to harvest two or even three entire plants at a time. By the end of the day, you’ve managed to reach a production speed three times that of your fellow senior harvesters.
>Most other unicorns have only a limited grasp of their magical skill, and can only work with the few berries at a time that you started the day with.
>You’ve had to fetch a new bag to hold your crop over a dozen times, while most of the other ponies only had to go for a single replacement, or never even filled their first bag.
>The sky is starting to dim when you hear Sweetie Belle call, “Alright, everypony, pack it in! Come over to the main road, we’ll weigh your bags and see how we’ve done.”
>>
>>29139593
>You come back to the road to find a long table set up with multiple weighing stations. Each pony’s extra bags have been put off to the side and name-tagged. There are a lot of lone bags, a few in pairs or trios, piles of five and six for your fellow senior harvesters, and a total thirteen filled bags from your own production.
>You walk up to place your last bag with the rest, just in time to see Sweetie Belle coming around from behind the pile, eyeballing it with awe.
>She looks over to you, with an incredulous expression, “Starlight? Did you really do all this?”
“Yeah, although the first few bags have extra discards. I wasn’t as familiar with the process then, made some mistakes. Sorry.”
>She shakes her head, “I just don’t understand. HOW did you manage to collect thirteen-no-fourteen bags of berries? That’s more than one per hour!”
You feel yourself blush slightly, “I-I guess I’ve always just been good with magic. You remember, right, back in Equestria? I could give Twilight Sparkle a run for her money sometimes.”
>Sweetie Belle doesn’t respond, but instead opens up a few bags’ drawstrings and looks inside. You look around to see more than a few other ponies looking at you with expressions of mixed jealousy, awe, disbelief, and admiration.
>>
>>29139602
>”Well, that’s amazing,” she declares after opening and inspecting a third bag. “The yields are all in average, if not above-average condition. Speedy AND meticulous.”
>She turns to you, a wide grin now on her face, “Starlight Glimmer, I’ve never seen anything like this. The rest of the family will be, just, really fucking happy about this! I’ll get everything weighed, you head on back to the mess area.”
“Oh, uhh, thanks, it was nothing.” The other ponies still haven’t averted their gazes, and you can feel your blush and embarrassment only rising, not falling. “Just glad I could be of help early on.”
>As you start walking away, half ashamed of your utter outclassing of everypony else on the farm, Sweetie Belle calls out one last time, “And don’t you worry, Starlight! I’ll make sure you get your rewards! You’ve earned it.”
>Have you? It’ll only be harder for everypony else to make an impression now…
>…
>>
>>29139606
>The mess area is mostly empty when you arrive, as only one other group has made it in. A few from yours are also scattered about the place, but you don’t see anypony familiar.
>You grab your food and take the same seat you had in the morning, waiting for others to come in.
>A few more ponies from your group trickle in one at a time, compared to the dozens at a time that flood in when the other groups meet their daily quotas. It seems that their work is less focused on individual performance, and they simply get released as a team.
>You’re not unaware of the looks cast your way from the other unicorns, with the same mixed expressions of congratulations, irritation, and pure curiosity that you saw before. The overriding factor in all of them seems to be awe, however.
>Relatively soon to arrive are the other senior harvesters who, despite having a solid day’s take, were also dominated by you. You’re slightly worried, but as they sit down it quickly becomes apparent that there are no hard feelings.
>”Starlight!” Lyra, the first to arrive, rushes over and takes a seat beside you. “You were incredible! You just smashed Sunny Streak’s record of seventy-two pounds in one day.”
>Sunny Streak, following closely behind, gives you a big grin and a playful bop on the shoulder, “Your final total was one hundred and twenty-two pounds. More than a dozen other unicorns put together.”
“Thanks guys, and sorry for overperforming. I guess I just started to get into a rhythm, and it’s been so long since I’ve let my magic go free, I just got carried away.”
>Lyra looks at you as though you were born yesterday, “You’re apologizing? Starlight, it looks good for all of us when somepony does that much. The total take today was 10% over expectations, and that’s pretty much entirely due to you.”

>Dinner is mostly filled with congratulatory laughter, praise, and back-patting, not only from your fellow senior harvesters but also the rest of the crew. It makes sense, an unexpected 10% rise in production means that everypony gets to be finished a day or two early.
>But as your plate gets smaller and your belly fuller, you start to wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into.
>Obviously, there are ponies here who are happy to work, and a sudden boon to production like yourself is going to make them happy.
>But, as proven by Tangerine, many remain cynical. If all he said was true, the happy faces Anon and the foreponies drew on this farm are only a mask.
>You’d read enough Orwell in the library to know how that could be dangerous.
>Those without an ambiguous or positive attitude towards the situation could see you as a threat. Not only as somepony coming in to show them up, but also a new ally of the family.
>After all, Sweetie Belle had reassured you that a reward would be coming soon. Hopefully that would be limited to some furniture and decorations for your room.
>If it had more to do with your role here, you’re not sure if you’re ready for a position of responsibility.
>Given your past, a simple life of comfortable work is probably what you should strive to keep.
>But, given the events and circumstances of the past week, you don’t think that status will be maintained.
>As dinner starts drawing to a close, but before ponies start wandering off to their quarters, Scootaloo brings out a podium and appears ready to address the crowd.
>From what you’ve gathered so far, she’s the overall favorite forepony. Always fair, generally kind, and she gets sympathy for her handicap. When Anon got a partial fix for it earlier this year, the celebrations were honest and hearty.
>>
>>29139620
>”Mic check, mic check!” The mic is indeed on, and everypony turns to its source. “OK, great, let’s get right into it. First of all, it was a great day today. Every group was above expectations, and certainly above quota. If we keep this pace up, we’ll be done two days early.”
>You hear a few hollers, and the crowd looks overjoyed, but you know that rains are coming tomorrow. That should slow things down.
>”I’m going to keep things short tonight, but there are a few ponies we’d like to give mentions to for their performance.”
>Oh shit. There’s no way you won’t be called out, you can feel the stares already.
>”First, from Applebloom’s group, Sandbar! When he noticed several newcomers struggling with their harvest equipment, he dropped his work to show them properly.” She points to a green earth stallion, who gives her a big grin. “Remember, everypony, production quotas are less important than a good turnout overall! Help each other out.”
>”Next, from Big Mac’s group, one Starry Night!” She singles out a surprised deep-lavender earth pony stallion. “Normally, Big Mac himself is the only one strong enough to pull the heavy harvesters. Starry Night, new for this season, stepped up to the plate and took one on. I know that can’t have been easy, so you should know that we recognize the performance!”
>The barley harvest was a curious affair. There were tractors, but those were only manned by the most trusted ponies or Anon. The rest of the ponies had to utilize specially-designed pull machinery or scythes. You’d helped to assemble one of the largest variants, and could barely imagine that anypony other than Big Mac could pull one.
>>
>>29139627
>”And, finally, I’m sure she knows her name is coming.” That’ll be you. “With a record-shattering one hundred twenty-two pounds of berries harvested in a single day, everypony give a round of applause to Starlight Glimmer!”
>Many of the unicorns had been knowingly looking your way by the end of the first sentence, but now you could feel the eyes of well over four hundred ponies on you. Judging you, sizing you up on your achievements.
>Their applause was loud, louder than the two ponies before. The mix of expressions you picked out from the crowd, however, bothered you a bit.
>Many gave big grins, or open-mouthed looks of admiration. Others were indifferent, or even amused.
>Others, like the orange visage of Tangerine peering out from across the crowd, wore something almost akin to disapproval.
>…

>Big Mac, Applejack, and the Crusaders each lead one of the groups
Can Big Mac do his duty as forepony and pull too?

Horse drawn farm machinery was (and is) almost always drawn by teams of two to six draft horses, and even Big Mac is just a pony. Why have custom made equipment almost small enough instead of just using a larger team on horse equipment? There is a reason that stuff is vanishingly rare (but still manufactured) today: How can the expense of buying and maintaining even the cheapest slave for a few days of really intense work per year compete with pony-operated mechanical traction?

Waiting to see if her magic gets dialed back down when no longer economically necessary. If not, why 'gimp' it at all? There has been speculation about what Shiny would think of pony owners who are ponies. Would be nice if you would maintain the possibility of a crossover by not using cannon characters already used there and Slaveventure.

Also: this is all really great. Please continue.

Thanks, making a couple minor changes now.

>How can the expense of buying and maintaining even the cheapest slave for a few days of really intense work per year compete with pony-operated mechanical traction?
Good question, will be an important one later on. Why would a farm even bother growing grain when it has access to a rare and massively profitable crop? Think on that, I think I've included enough info so far for someone to draw the right conclusion. This is going to be a relatively long fic, probably 50k words or more.
>>
>>29141031
Also, for crossover, we're probably full or almost full on canon characters. The USA is a big place, getting even three canon characters in as common workers is pretty fucking unlikely.

>someone to draw the right conclusion
Calling it now: SHTF. Nucular / Biological / Magical war wipes out civilization; prepper Apples poised (forwarned?) to survive. Independent sources of food and power (like a big barley crop and pony-powered harvesters), magical heavy-hitters, air support, human computer and communication gadgets, who-knows-what buried under the mansion, and a disciplined population provide a decisive edge over a shattered US gov and the local neck-bearded mall-ninjas from /k/. After the dust settles they rebuild earth civilization in an equestrian mold, but including their favorite (peculiar) human institution. They keep Anon around as the last effectively free human.
>Feudalism is Magic!

what the fuck

No, but that's a nice prompt.

Or when puberty hits, Shiny is her first big crush.
>>
>>29141990
Kids get crushes way before they hit puberty, you know.
>>
>>29142250
Are you implying Gracie already has a crush on Shiny?
>>
>>29142301
No. That's retarded. Don't be retarded, anon.
>>
>>29142310
She sure does hug and kiss him a lot though...
>>
>>29142326
You mean like literally every little girl in existence when they're around an animal they really like? Hugging and kissing does not automatically equate to romantic infatuation.
>>
I wonder if Grace would still be friends with the ponies if they refused to give her pony rides.
>>
>>29142433
She already said she would. Shiny and Corona aren't mere beasts of burden to her. They're her friends. And I don't think either of them would ever refuse to give her a pony ride anyway after they saw how happy it made her the first time.
>>
>>29142458
I wouldn't be surprised if Shiny's primary responsibility becomes being Gracie's riding pony. I bet he'd rather do that than farm work anyway. He can help her perfect her riding skills until one day she's ready to graduate to a real full-sized horse. If that day ever even comes. Given Shiny's size she'll probably even still be able to ride him as an adult.
>>
>>29142489
Anon himself could ride Shiny if he really wanted to. As long as Gracie stays away from the pizza and doughnuts she'll be happily riding him for decades to come.
>>
>>29139643
The only comment that I give is the perception of Tangerine regarding life on the farm, I doubt that so many different ponies can receive the same degree of support and respect and live in community, if she consider that Anon and the Apples are a Wolves in sheepskin is because he has not met the real coyotes of our world

Could you clarify that? Not really sure what you're getting at. I feel like Tangerine is filling his purpose well but has room for improvement for sure. He's currently slated as a "moderately important" character throughout the story, but if you have additional insights I see a lot of ways that he could be improved and his role broadened.

>The speech wraps up quickly, and everypony is left to their devices. You receive a multitude of congratulatory remarks, pats on the back, and even a pick-up line from Crystal Skies, but most ponies simply opt to retire to their quarters early.
>Although the work was easy for you, most unicorns had to strain to meet their quotas. And the earth ponies, well, you can understand their tiredness.
>Still, one familiar bright orange earth stallion seeks you out once the crowd thins. As he approaches, you can see a weak smile on his face, dimly lit by the outdoor lights.
>”So! Breakin’ records on your first day of the harvest! Must’a been mighty hard work…”
“A bit, yeah. I might see if I can get more tomorrow, I was a bit slow in the morning.” He cringes a little, and you quickly add, “But of course I’ll pace myself. No point in wearing myself or my magic out, eh?”
>You put on your favorite fake smile that you know never fools anypony.
>”I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’d heard you ‘ere a talented unicorn, but damn, twice as much as the next best.” He sighs and continues without looking at you, “To be honest, I’m just worried you’ll raise the bar. I hope the foreponies are reasonable ‘nough to know that even though you can do so much, most the rest of us can’t.”
“I think they’ll understand, Tangerine. After all, Sweetie Belle herself was out there harvesting, and she barely got in eight pounds.” There’s truth to your words, and as he detects it, Tangerine seems to lighten up a tad.
>>
>>29146216
>”Well, if you say so. Not to be rude or anythin’, but I’m gonna hit the hay. Was with Big Mac’s group, and while he’s a good stallion, you ain’t goin’ in til’ he’s tired. And he don’t tire easily.”
“Good night! Sleep well, and watch for the rain tomorrow!” He nods, and heads off to one of the housing blocks.
>You hadn’t noticed it before, but he lives in one of the communal housing blocks. Interesting. You still couldn’t understand the appeal, sleeping in one big room with everypony else, with no privacy.
>You probably couldn’t get in a single private conversation in there without somepony hearing. You aren’t exactly as picky as Rarity used to be, but the only word you can find to describe that situation is ‘dreadful.’
>You think on it for a moment more in the chilly night air, and then head in to your quarters to shower.

>The next morning starts in a manner largely the same as the one prior, with breakfast and discussion with the other senior harvesters.
>Most of the talk was about the weather, the heavy clouds weighing down on the landscape and threatening a downpour at any moment.
>At least it’s not snow. Early snowfall would force Anon to scramble everypony, probably put in 20-hour workdays. You suppose it depends most on how much of the berry crop comes from the crystal empire; the Equestrian varieties could grow in freezing temperatures.
>The rain proper doesn’t start until about two hours into the next day. When it comes, it comes hard, and the ground quickly becomes a sloggy, muddy mess. You hope nopony had a hoof manicure.
>It slows down production in the orchard, as the rain and the wind accompanying it cause branches and bushes to bob and sway. Add that factor to the slowed transportation, and you estimated that the day’s yield would be half that of yesterday.
>At least you’ve managed to get the technique almost mastered. By midday you have more bags filled than you did at the same time yesterday, but you don’t see yourself picking up speed any time soon as you did yesterday.
>Sweetie Belle ends up calling the ponies in an hour early when the rain threatens to take a turn for the worse. The mood is dim, and you can tell that few of the ponies have enjoyed being forced to work out in this weather.
>Your total for the day is sixty-one pounds. Exactly half of what you had yesterday, but still far above everypony else. The second-place yield came from Ruby Heart, with thirty-nine pounds.
>You start to walk away, when you notice a commotion at the other end of the weighing station’s long table. Sweetie Belle looks furious with a light pink unicorn mare.
>>
>>29146235
>”What the hell is this, Soda Pop? Look in these bags, tell me what you fucking see!”
>The mare nervously looks into her two bags, before answering, “I-it’s my take for the day. F-fourteen pounds, I worked e-extra hard to get them.”
>”You worked extra hard? On this? On berries covered in mud, trodden on, and picked with the care of a bulldozer? Look at this shit, everyone look at this shit!” She kicks the backs over, and their contents spill out. Even though you’re a few dozen feet away, you can see they’re muddied and many are crushed.
>”I did! I-I just saw S-Starlight Glimmer doing so good, and wanted to pitch in a bit extra! P-please, it’s fine, we can still use them, right?”
>”You picked these off the ground, didn’t you? After everypony else had stepped all over them. And if you did actually pick any yourself, you just snatched them off the branch and threw them in! Quality over quantity!”
>Sweetie Belle shakes her head, and walks around to the back of the table before continuing, “This is your third harvest, and you know better. And you also know what’s coming, so just get yourself in position and get ready. Everypony else, stay and watch. This is why you be careful with the crop.”
>She bends herself down, and when she comes back up, you see that she’s grabbed a wooden cane from under the table.
>…
>>
>>29146239
>You’d already seen Anonymous give one of the ponies a belting, but he’d been outright sleeping on the job, and it wasn’t really too hard.
>This, though. A pony beating another pony. It’s just… not right.
>You want nothing more than to run and hide, or avert your eyes, but Sweetie Belle had made it very clear that she wanted the crowd to see. She wanted an example made.
>You don’t want to be a second example.
>Soda Pop, the unfortunate center of attention, has her tail between her legs and her eyes closed. They open for a brief moment, and you can see the fear, her irises each the size of a pea.
>As if to complete the scene’s dramatic effect, the rain starts up again in earnest, and the wind begins howling. And yet none of the ponies try to shield themselves from it; their attention is solely focused on the scene unfolding before them.
>Sweetie Belle has to shout over the howling wind, “Head down, legs apart! I’ll let you take your pick, flank or hindquarters?”
>You can barely make out her response, “Flank!” over the sound of driving rain.
>Eyeballing not the pony in front of her, but the crowd, Sweetie Belle raises the cane, holding it up with her magic for a brief moment before it comes down hard on the soft drink cutie mark of her quarry.
>You flinch at the first stroke, as it obviously hits hard. Soda Pop’s eyes open and widen, and a brief yelp escapes from her mouth, before she quickly resumes her position, ready for the rest of the punishment.
>>
>>29146245
>After the first blow, Sweetie Belle picks up the pace but doesn’t let up on intensity. You count twelve strikes in total, the entire affair taking about a minute.
>It feels so much longer, watching the only partially-grown-up filly you once knew striking this adult mare with a practiced hoof. Her face remains stoic throughout, much like a well-trained executioner.
>When at last the ordeal is done, there is little immediate reaction. Some ponies simply move to resume their weighing or start off towards the mess area, but others, such as yourself, simply stop and ruminate on what just happened.
>After at least half a minute of just standing and staring at the sobbing mare, watching as in the corner of your eye Sweetie Belle calmly replaces her weapon and walks off, you feel a gently tap on your flank.
>Lyra is behind you, with an unreadable expression on her face. Not sadness, not anger, and certainly not indifference. The closest thing you can pin it to is resignation, although that doesn’t fit perfectly either.
>”Come on,” she says, straining to be heard over the wind, “let’s just get back to the mess area and eat.”
>You don’t move from your spot, and after a brief moment, she comes forward and embraces you. Without a word, she turns and starts to trot towards the mess area.
>You follow, eager to get out of the rain.
>…

You've definitely got a slow-burn conflict going on here, and it's definitely increasing my hype to see where this goes.

Here, it's nicely ambiguous whether Soda Pop was actually lazy and slacking, or genuinely unable to work for some reason - muscled out by others, unable to function in the rain, or something else. Which it is will heavily influence just how sour this apparently saccharine setting is.

"Megan..."
> You can't tell her everything that is troubling you.
> Not now.
> Not to someone so young.
> But that doesn't mean you can't give her some idea of what troubles you.
"...I was - away from my daughter - my family - for so long. And then I found out she was hurt, and it was my fault, and I still can't have her by my side..."
> "But - you're here now..."
> Nodding fractionally, you lean your head back against Megan.
"I am. But this is special, and only because Anonymous let me. Normally... I'm still under a punishment, and can't see her often."
> "Oh..."
"I know it is a punishment I earned, but still... it hurts. A lot. To be away from the only family I can still find."
> Megan nods, a gesture felt rather than seen, and you quietly remember that she, too, is away from part of her family.
> Smiling softly, you nuzzle back into her shoulder and blow a soft puff of breath through her hair.
"Especially -"
> You pause, hesitating.
"I know her old owners were bad people, that I couldn't have stopped what they did. But it feels like a little bit my fault too. That she was hurt then. That I couldn't be there for her. That I lost my Flurry for years, and now can't even be here to make up for anything too..."
> Leaning forward again to nuzzle Flurry, you add:
"And I know that if I had any hope of seeing her again, I would not have earned that punishment. That much is my doing."
> Not, you insist to yourself, because it would have changed for a moment how you felt about slavery.
> But the truth you must force yourself to admit is that if you'd known about Flurry's purchase, if that threat had been leveled against you earlier, you would never have gone ahead with the escape.
> Not if you'd known...
> "How'd it happen?"
"Hmm?"
> "How'd you get - uh, not with your family?"
>>
>>29147482

"We were... split up. Before we were made slaves. I was being hunted because I was a princess, you understand? So I thought that if I went somewhere else than where Flurry was, they wouldn't hunt for her anymore."
> "Oh..."
> It's a simple response - a one-word admission that she doesn't really understand everything, but accepts what you are saying.
"If I could have known for sure that Flurry would be going to someone who cared for her as much as you do, I'd..."
> Have what?
> Given up before you did?
> Turned over your daughter, to be owned as property by another?
> "But - couldn't you work with them? Like you do with Daddy?"
"Not everyone would be so willing. Some of those who owned me - they just wanted to own an alicorn. They didn't think about how I could work with them."
> Not to mention, you weren't exactly the most cooperative at that point either...
"One thought if he made me beat another pony, I would stop caring about everypony else. I'd be cold and heartless. Another put me in a big, golden cage in his house, so that he could show me off to everyone. It didn't have any walls, just bars. I lived in there for a long, long time without seeing another pony..."
> That one had also thought that isolating you from any other ponies would be the key to breaking your care for them.
> "You - lived in a cage? Like, all the time?"
"Yes. It had a bed, and a little door for food to be put in, and a mirror for me to make myself pretty with..."
> And a toilet.
> No walls around that either.
> Or anything else to do to pass the time.
> After all, what else would a prize slave have need except for a way to show themselves off for their owner?
> This night hadn't been the first night you'd worn gilded chains.
"All that time, I worried about my Flurry. Even when I came here and started looking after your Father's other ponies, I still thought about her. And now she's here, but I don't have nearly enough time with her to - to make up for all the years I lost."
>>
>>29147497

> "I could tell Daddy-"
"No, little one. Don't bother him with my troubles. I gave this punishment to myself, and I have to see it through."
> A fearsome little pout develops on Megan's face, but you pull her back close against you.
"I miss my daughter fiercely, and I miss my home as well. But your father made her safe, and I can't trouble him more."
> "That's silly."
"If he wants to reward me by letting me see her more, I am sure he will tell me."
> Nuzzling against Megan's cheek one last time, you add:
"Do you know what you can do, though? Keep being a good friend for Flurry Heart. Be kind, and caring, and my heart will be happier knowing you are doing that."
> "I promise!"
> Little arms squeeze you in a fierce hug.
> "I promise, I promise! I won't let anyone hurt her!"
"Thank you."
> Nickering softly, you kiss her hair gently before looking around again at the still-sleeping Anonymous.
"Come, though. We should get you to bed - and your father, too."
> "Awww..."
> The chorus of two young voices brings a little smile to your lips.
> Pony or human, some things were all the same.
"No, no 'awww'. We all need our sleep."
> Extricating yourself from her arms, you slip from the bed and nudge at Anonymous' hand with your magic.
"Master? Your daughter needs her bed back. Perhaps you should go to bed in your own room?"
> A long groan is your response, and a hand slapped against his face to rub at his eyes.
> "Yeeeeah. Yeah, I should. Alright..."
> Busying your self waiting while he says goodnight to Megan, you exchange a last few quiet words with Flurry Heart when a cautious voice interrupts you:
> "Um... Cadance? One last question?"
"Yes, Mistress Megan?"
> "You said you were separated from Flurry Heart before you were a slave. What about your, um -"
> Her face screws up, searching for the word.
> "What about her father?"
> Your heart wrenches, a wound scabbed over but never fully healed re-opening.
> Flurry, too, stiffens.
>>
>>29147503
>> "What about her father?"

>>
>>29147503

> She must have so little memory of him...
"I miss..."
> You swallow, voice low and bitter.
"...miss my Shining Armor too. I - I don't know where he is now. He was already gone when Flurry and I were fleeing."
> "Oh..."
> Judging from Megan's tone, she understands that was a uniquely painful question.
> Walking to her side, you brush a cheek against Megan's.
"...but that means it's even better that my daughter is with someone good now. Goodnight, Mistress Megan."
> "Goodnight, Cadance."
> You're slipped from the room then, fast enough to the damp shimmer on your eyes.
> Anonymous is out a moment later - closing the door behind him and stretching with numerous pops and a loud groan.
> "Had a bit of a conversation with my daughter?"
"Yes, Sir. I - told her a little bit about how I was captured, and why I am glad that she is taking such good care of Flurry Heart."
> From another pony, it might have sounded like gratuitous brown-nosing, but Anonymous already knew just how desperate you were to keep her safe.
> "And your husband, I guess."
"...and him, Sir."
> The house is nearly empty now, most of the house slaves and staff having finished putting away the leftovers and rearranging furniture to its normal standards.
> A few eyes turned to watch the two of you pass, but they are relatively few and far between.
> Anonymous heads for his room, quickly snapping off his tie and leaving it along with his jacket hung on a waiting hook.
> "You didn't tell her the entire truth, though."
> Your muzzle dips, eyes falling to the floor.
"Shining Armor is dead."
> That gives Anonymous a pause, one shoe off and real surprise on his face.
> "Really? I - hadn't known-"
"I don't... know. I didn't see him die. But if he was still free, he would still be fighting to free others - and I would have heard. Your government would have interrogated me. If he is captured..."
> Another hard swallow before you can go on.
>>
>>29147510

"...if you think I am... resistant, I'm nothing compared to him. Shining Armor was a bottomless well of emotional strength on which I could always draw. Whenever I faltered, he would be there to let me lean on him. His talent was to defend and protect others - it was his most basic nature. No whip or other cruelty could ever take that from him."
> Anonymous' footsteps approach, but the seal is already broken now - emotions flowing out from a wound you had long ago learned to scab over but never actually healed.
"He would not break, but fight tooth and hoof and horn for our justice. Shining Armor has either died defending those few ponies who still hold our Freedom, died under some bullheaded attempt to make him obedient. Even if his heart is still beating, there would be nothing left of the stallion I loved in it."
> A hand on the back of your neck, fingers in your mane.
"...and sometimes I've wished him a painless end. Not to be crushed bit by bit with one cruelty after another. And I hate myself for it all the sa-"
> Abruptly you're cut off as gentle hands remove the ring from your horn and begin to unlock the bands around your fetlocks.
> "Come on. Let's get this stuff off you."
> Tail giving a little happy swish at finally being free from the miserable outfit, you're soon devoid of the last remnants.
> Stretching fiercely, you give a shake - ears, mane, and tail flapping - and stretch, back popping in a staccato burst.
> The saddle's weight finally absent from your barrel is definitely welcome feeling.
> "So, he was already gone by the time you were caught. What happened with Flurry? Did you tell my daughter the truth of that, or..."
"Only a little bit."
> Sucking a deep breath, you nod.
"If I can ask, sir... if we're going to have this discussion, may I have a drink first?"
> "That difficult of a topic?"
"And if I'm to sleep tonight. That stimulant you gave me was a strong one."
> Although, admittedly, quieting your memories would help as well.

> "Wait here, I'll have to get something."
> When he returns there are two tumblers in his hand.

Yup, bring it up now. He is asking Cadance what she wants, respect and autonomy are the only true answer. As Gregory points out, that's the essence of his pitch anyway. When will be a better time?

Working on non-pony writings, but I'll do something before Sunday.
Choose:
>Berry and Anon's first New Year's together (guest starring: someone)
>S'more's first New Year's not spent in an alley trying not to freeze to death honestly would be pretty similar to the Berry bit above, except with fewer alcoholics being drunk and ashamed, far FAR fewer jokes, but possibly more encouraging headpats
>that filly brothel some anon keeps asking for (working title: Christmas in the Stable)
>more slow drudge through boring parts of ADiaD to interesting parts that might make this story fun to write again

Also choose:
>lewd
>non-lewd
(for undefined value of 'lewd')
what is intended as lewd will vary from story to story
>>
>>29147840
just don't include any completely degenerate fetishes like hoof holding and ear scritches
>>
>>29147818
Goddammit, I'm trying to shitpost but I can't think of the right word. It's supposed to be the thing where a pedo raises a kid up to wanna fuck him, but the only words coming to mind are 'gelding' and 'griefing' and I'm pretty fucking sure those aren't the words I'm looking for.
However, the idea of Shining Armor murdering Gracie for shits n' giggles would be kinda hilarious, particularly when he starts asking when she's gonna rez and someone has to break the news to him that video games and real life are two different things. Humans don't respawn.
Even better is him deciding she's being too aggressive, grabbing a pair of scissors, ducking under her skirt, then screaming "I CAN'T FIND HER BALLS!" and having a panic attack.

Oh, right. Grooming. That's the word I was looking for. Fuck.

Cadance already knows Shiny was into grooming. She did babysit his sister, after all.

Re: ADiaD
You know, I'm sure it varies for everyone, but one of the best pieces of advice I got from a writing instructor was this: "Don't write boring parts."
He continued with advice like: skip ahead to the part you were thinking of, write that. Write interesting stuff that doesn't even fit in anywhere. Once you've got that down, you've got something to inspire you to make more interesting parts to bridge things together.

Admittedly, not terribly compatible with the serial format of green.
>>
>>29147915
Grooming. That's the word you want.

Wait fuck I should've finished reading your post

I don't see the harm in it. She shouldn't push it though. If I were Anon, I wouldn't associate with another human as a business partner so soon after that whole runaway sabotage, more the less work with them at all. This is his lively hood, and soon to be his daughters and Cadance almost capsized the whole operation. Anon's already put a lot of trust and faith into her already considering.

If he says no, she should tell him she's still going to work at earning that right.
>>
>>29143285
I feel that Tangerine fears more foreponies than their human owner, as if they had their destiny in their hooves and does not know that any disciplinary action they carry out is an abuse, perhaps the property is not Equestria, but compared to the rest of the world and the other human masters their situation is much better, who knows, maybe she knows something about them that caused her this terrible impression
>>
>>29149422
Ah, I get it now. Something I'm deliberately leaving unexplained for now, these perspectives will be explored as time goes on. The big picture won't be fully painted for some time, and even when it is, I'm trying to set things up to leave room for interpretation.

I can tell you now, though, that the reason the foreponies get a bit more attention is because Anon does less field work for a couple of reasons. All should be explained in time.

Sweetie Bell??

I would like to think that the reason she is so harsh with her punishments is because the punishment would be worse for her if Anon lost money from the harvest because of the mistakes made by the ponies under her command, I would not want to imagine that she acts that way Because she really likes

Great Job HJ, great job
>>
>>29147503
For a moment I thought that Anonymous pretended to sleep and listened to everything Candance and her daughter talked about, both out of curiosity and precaution, attentive to every word that might be involved in conspiracy and challenge.

>>29147503
>"What about her father?"

I do not know, ask Corona
>>
>>29149613
Corona is dead. She was whipped to death with that belt by a master that didn't realize how badly he was hurting her because of his head injury. Do you guys need everything spelled out for you?
>>
>>29147540
Both fill their glasses with more liquid courage.

Words and ideas are exchanged in the heat of the drinks, offers, proposals and promises are agreed upon.

Candance in spite of the weight that invades its heart does not dare to ask him to allow him to see again to Flurry freely.

She does not want to get a right that would take her more from her ponies and put her under more control of Anon.

She knows that she must fulfill her sentence before she can reunite with her daughter, she also knows that Anon does not allow her to commute her punishment, having her daughter of rehen is the best way to guarantee her cooperation in the future.

They both continue their conversation-negotiation until they empty the bottle.

The next morning Candance wakes up with a sour mouth and head as heavy as Celestia's butt after a batch of cakes.

'Why is Anon in my bed?'

Just a moment. . . . Anon is not in your bed.

You slept in yours

>>29147540
Yes, absolutely bring up your resentments with your treatment this evening. Between his conversation with Catherine, his blatant disregard for your self-respect that lead to your nearly being assaulted in the first place, the sheer humiliation of what you've been made to go through DESPITE Anon apparently wanting others to see you as a beneficial aide to his slaves' work ethic and not as a fancied up pet (the reasoning is sound, but if you wanted to test who would see past the outfit anyhow, then the outfit really only served to appeal to the real scum of the attendants anyhow)?

Anon put Cadance through some real bullshit tonight, and asking for more respect/autonomy as she/her ponies desire is as good a time to ask for right now as any. Especially given that tensions are obviously still extremely high due to the Corona incident Anon himself caused, hence, more show of good faith is needed from the master especially considering her stellar performance despite it all.

That said, do NOT push too harshly or too rough. Anon has already admitted he fucked up to some degree, not being there to stop Sam, and has already promised extra money in addition to what the ponies already earned for what Cadance has done this evening. He's on the right track, let's not make him regret getting on it by being especially harsh with him. Especially given he's also still more than a bit drunk and likely to get a little drunker still, and that would A) be kind of a dick move to take advantage while he's not at his peak and B) he's more liable to get angrier depending on what level of drunk he is.

>>29150272
Humanity, trapped in the charm of their enslaved ponies, abandon their interest in relating to each other to spend as much time as possible with their beloved ponies.

The species is extinguished and the ponies claim the Earth as their new home, beginning a new golden age for all living creatures without the presence of man on the planet.

JUSTICE IS SERVED

Happy Ending

No point, I figure: he should know by now there's a problem with grafiti. Letting him know how close his guests came to seeing it might make him crack down harder on the slaves.

That's some good advice, but doesn't work for me. Once I know what's happening in a story, I get bored with it. I might just do a rushed/summarized version of ADiaD to get to the end of this section so we can move on to new and unique ways of making AB depressed.

No idea what I was going to do for ADiaD lewd. Maybe when Anon takes the financial papers in to Silver, he finds out how cold it is in the dorms and accidentally ends up snuggling with Moondancer.
She accidentally snuggles back, until she remembers her husband is dead. Cue awkward moments and worldbuilding concerning her relationship with Twi and suddenly I feel like writing this again.

It's no need to solicit for respect. Simply ask your master where you stand shouldn't be any kind of gamble. If he can't answer that honestly without flipping out, then that is really an issue that needs addressed. no need to try to sway him into thinking of us as people or partners, only to be pleasantly surprised if the unexpected happens.

>You end up in a full sprint to the mess area, mostly due to the weather but certainly encouraged by a desire to get away from the previous scene.
>Thankfully, a number of large tarps have been stretched out around the area’s perimeter underneath its metal awning, providing solid enough protection from the elements.
>As you slip into its sole opening, which faces away from the wind and rain, you find that you’re not the only soggy, disheartened pony here. A few of the earth pony crews came in early, and most of their members are covered in both water and mud.
>It’s also no warmer than 45 degrees or so, and you’re happy to notice that somepony set up a number of space heaters throughout the area.
>You silently pick up a tray join the line with Lyra, neither of you talking or even looking at the other.
>It was no secret that she was on friendly terms with the boss ponies and human, and you were curious to hear what she had to say about their disciplinary actions.
>Soda Pop had disobeyed orders, and probably lost a great deal of money in an attempt to heighten her own standing on the farm. That deserved punishment, sure.
>But a public flogging? It seemed… harsh.
>Soon enough, you and Lyra grab your food and take your seats. Your fellow senior harvesters arrive late, and sit elsewhere.
After a minute or so of quiet eating, you break the ice, “So… that happened. I… want to know, what’s your take on the whole situation?”
>Lyra puts down the spoon she was using to cradle a bit of soup and sighs, “I never like to see a punishment like that. Nopony does, and I doubt you did. Honestly, it seemed like a bit much for that, if it was me I would’ve at least done it in private.”
>>
>>29152916
>You can only imagine the humiliation of that poor mare. It’s almost an entirely separate punishment in and of itself to have that beating seen publicly.
>”But I can understand why she did it.” She pauses, and seeing your surprise, elaborates, “There are a lot of new ponies here this year. A lot of ponies who haven’t seen that the brass are willing to give out punishments – actual punishments – and need to know that.”
>She shakes her head lightly before continuing, “Any other time of the year that punishment would probably at least have been in private. But with a farm of this size, I can get that it would be hard to keep everypony in line if they weren’t at least a little bit afraid.”
“So, what, you’re just perfectly fine with them using the fear factor like that?” She just shrugs. “I don’t think that’s really necessary. I mean, why can’t they just keep rewards high and punishments light? Wouldn’t that improve morale, at least?”
>Lyra takes a bite of her food before answering, “Starlight, you’re… different from the rest of the ponies here. You’re insanely powerful with magic, you waltz in and get more work done on your first day than most other ponies will across the entire week, and to top it all off you’re old friends with one of the big bosses.”
>She motions behind her to the assortment of tired, mostly earth ponies, “Look around, Starlight. Most of these ponies just want to get by, but they’re not special like you, or even I. They can barely fill their quotas, and they have feelings too. Feelings that get them in serious trouble sometimes. Unlike you, they can’t just fall back on talent.”
>She has a point there. While you aren’t fooling yourself into thinking you’re immune to punishment, you know very reasonably that you’d be allowed more leeway than most everypony else.
>>
>>29152922
“And so that gives Anon, the Apples, and those little fillies the right to just whip everypony who steps even the slightest out of line? How is that fair?”
>”It’s not fair, but it’s how things have to work. Most ponies are resigned to it, because they’re not stupid; they know that despite the hard work and occasional punishment here, they have it a lot better than most other ponies do.”
“That’s not true. I’ve seen plenty of ponies in the suburbs where I used to work, lots are just home cleaners, others work odd jobs, and some are even just treated as pets or companions.”
>She gives a slight chuckle before looking down, “Starlight, there’s a difference between most of the ponies here and the ones you’ve seen there. These are low-skill earth ponies, the ones that fetch the bottom-rung prices at auction. No human wants one of those to do most work where a unicorn or pegasus could be so much better at it.”
“I guess you’re right… I saw a lot of people coming into the library I used to work at with pegasi or unicorns. Plenty of earth ponies, sure, but not in the same volume.”
>She nods solemnly, “Then you get it. Realistically, this is the best most of these ponies can hope to get, especially the country types that end up here. Have you noticed that a lot of them have rural or Appaloosan accents? Mr. Anonymous picks them up specifically because of that, because they’re generally strong but inexpensive.”
>>
>>29152927
>This fucking world. At the end of the day, that’s what it always comes down to for ponies. You’re commodities, judged by your features and tech specs. A slaver looking for a new addition to his collection is no different from a kid spending his first $500 on a new laptop, trying to pick out the one with the best internals.
>Lyra lets it all sink in for a moment, as she finishes up her meal. Seeing your tray still half full, she gets up and simply says, “You know where I live. Feel free to spend the night if you want to talk more,” before leaving.
>You don’t resume eating, instead listening for her hoofsteps to fade out of range.
>Once they do, you can feel tears forming, and coalescing into sobs.
>…
>>
>>29152935
>Eventually, you pull yourself together enough to leave the mess area. By then, the place is mostly deserted, and many ponies have already gone in for the night.
>As you leave, however, you come face-to-face the familiar orange face of Applejack under a porch light just outside.
>”Ah! There y’are, sugar cube! Ah was wonderin’ when you’d be comin’ out.”
“Applejack, it’s nice to see you and all, but I’m, uhh, a bit tired from today’s work. Not to be rude, but could we make this brief?”
>Truth be told, you just really don’t want to talk to her or her kin right now. Your greeting was a bit rude, but you honestly aren’t terribly concerned.
>”Oh, well, alright then. Just wanted ta give ya this, all the other senior berry harvesters got one. Just give it a look-over and get back to me or one’a the Crusaders tomorrow.”
>She reaches into the light bag slung over her back and retrieves a sealed envelope with her teeth, your name written in rough handwriting on the front.
>You pluck it from her grasp with your magic, but don’t open it just yet. You’ll take her up on her offer of talking about its contents tomorrow, and simply nod your farewell and head off to your quarters.
>Still without a desk or even a table in the room, you instead flop down onto your bed and open the letter. To your surprise, it’s written manually in pen, and although it carries the same rough handwriting as the front of the letter, nothing is crossed or scribbled out.
>>
>>29152943
>’Hey, Starlight Glimmer, Appplejack here. I’ll keep this quick for you, but after a bit of discussion with the Crusaders, Big Mac and Anon, we decided to invite you and the other senior harvesters to a meeting with us tomorrow night. The rain is going to pick up late in the afternoon, so we figure you can beat it by heading in and maybe get a well-prepared meal to boot. We have some things to talk about, but don’t worry, they’re good things! Hope we can see you there.’
>’Sincerely, Applejack.’
>You kind of expected Applejack to write how she talks, but it’s actually surprisingly succinct and lacking in country twang. Maybe you should give her credit.
>Most likely, it’s probably just easier to write in brief sentences and get to the point when you have to use your mouth for the task.
>You’d seen the weather forecast with Lyra the other day, and if the meteorologists are still saying the same thing, you’re going to want to beat that storm inside.
>But… seeing the foreponies and Anon was among the bottom items in your list of things you’d like to do, right below ‘literally eating shit’ and right above ‘getting soundly beaten by Sweetie Belle.’
>You just throw the letter off to the side of the bed and get up to shower. You’ll think on this in the morning, and right now, you’re just too muddy and sodden to give a shit.
>But in the back of your mind, you know that some way or another, you’d probably be eating dinner with the pony you’d just watched mercilessly beat another. And all of her kin.

I like Lyra's argument, I really do not consider the emotional and personal aspect of the other ponies, many must have gone through traumatic events before arriving at the property, snatched from their homes, families and way of life, forced to perform tasks Of which they are not accustomed to the fear of punishment by not fulfilling their quotas, even surrounded by ponies they fear to say or do something that puts them in danger, and with the frequent arrival of more workers the fear and distrust can rise to levels Of danger.

If I were Anon or the Apples should plan a way to relieve the stress of the workers, after the harvest could organize a celebration to recognize the ponies for their effort and motivate them positively in an attempt to improve the bonds of trust

Could be worse Starlight.

You could work gutting fish in a boat on the high seas, serving clients in an adult store, being "courtesan" on an oil platform in international waters or being forced to mate with stallions only to conceive and be pregnant again until you die, what surprises me is that a unicorn of your caliber has been acquired so easily when you had a good place before, serving in a bookstore

Good Job HJ

Tomorrow's update is longer, but not a whole lot happens. It mostly sets up a few plot points and developments, and widens the setting. Important for the story overall but a bit boring.

Should I wait a day and release a much longer update, or just dump what I wrote tonight and leave the meaty developments for the next day? It's about 2700 words right now.

Heh, alright then. Writing long updates really isn't much trouble for me, those 2700 words were from about an hour and fifteen minutes of writing with a few interruptions. I almost feel bad putting out 1500 word updates because I'm easily capable of more, usually.

Vote's up! Do we give our little slave siren the dick, and if so how?
>>
>>29160590
Shut up, Mocha doesn't want to sleep with Anon.

She doesn't want him to sweep her off her hooves one day while she's finishing her duties and be carried over his bedroom. She doesn't want him to lay her down softly on the bed and lean over her, kissing her neck while he climbs on top of her. She doesn't want to quiver as she feels his hard cock rest on the lips to her wet, needy pussy.

She especially doesn't want to let out a loud moan when he finally penetrates her; hoping that none of the other house ponies heard her. She definitely doesn't want to thrust her own hips upwards along his thick shaft so that he doesn't need to tire himself out and so she can help him probe her depths perfectly. She doesn't want her mind to go blank after a bed shattering orgasm rips through her core and reduces her to sweaty, drooling mess. She definitely, especially doesn't want to feel Anon's warm cum filling her cunt to the brim; to the point where it spills out and stains her thighs, marking her as his better than any collar or chain could. She doesn't want to run a hoof along her cunt after Anon pulls out to fetch his cum for a lewd meal before it spills out.

She doesn't want to sit in the shower alone after Anon tells her she's just a slave to him and will never be anything more.

Mocha is pure!

>>29160590
> wake Anon up with a blowjob one day

I figure I can get one more posting out of it about six threads in the future before it gets stale and I need to write a new one. As far as pasta goes it's not bad.
>>
>>29160885
Does Mocha think of Megan as her daughter considering how much she takes care of her?

>>29160896
Kinky.
>>
>>29160867
Then Anon forces her head down and sits up in bed to hide the bulge in his lap. One hand is casually resting in his lap as he chats with his daughter, but the other is meshed in her mane - forcing her lips to meet his groin, his sack pressing against her chin. Mocha struggles to keep her gag reflex down, but can't - her throat closes around the tip of his shaft as it rakes the back of her throat, only squeezing it tighter.

Her eyes begin to water, lungs starting to burn but her master refusing to release her while his daughter is still there. Megan, unfortunately, has a party coming up - and wants to tell her father all about and get his ideas about what she should bring.

Desperately Mocha pins her forehooves against his hips, trying to forces herself off. Anonymous twists his legs around, folding them behind Mocha's head to keep her from pulling up or making a noise - pinning her in place. Struggling at any hope with her rapidly depleting air, Mocha tries to push him out with her tongue - but all she succeeds in doing is stroking his shaft with increasingly desperate strokes. Now both of them are struggling to stay silent.

The moment the door slams shut, the pitter-patter of small feet fading away, a fierce ripple runs through Anonymous - hot, strong jets of seed erupting straight into her throat, goosebumps rising across his skin as her continued struggles milk him for every drop he has. He collapses flat back into bed, but not until the last surges are done does he actually release his leg-lock and allow her to breathe again.
>>
>>29160952
Mocha is just a teenager, she puts her feelings and illusions into the first 'macho' that shows attention in her even if not directly, being the only young pony in a mansion of socially excluded slaves must generate in her, a creature of A species that needs to establish ties for emotional well-being a powerful mental attachment to the human

And no, I'm not suggesting that his emotional need for affection drives Mocha to levels of obsession.

I'm not suggesting that Mocha is turning Yandere

I hope this story ends with Mocha shoulder-deep in Cadance's chest cavity, using the princess's own shattered horn to carve her apart.

A princess should know better.
A princess should lead her subjects to a better, happier life.
A princess shouldn't steal the happiness from her subjects.
A princess shouldn't take away her one true love.
>>
>>29160962
And then Mocha gets fifty lashes and a week in the slave box for nearly ruining Megan's innocence, right? And she doesn't even mind because she can still taste Anon on her tongue.

Mocha was born in captivity, she's not emotionally traumatized; she's thinking exactly how she should. Plus she's just a slave, so it's her job to be a fucktoy. If she mistakenly thinks she's anything more, that's her fault, isn't it?

Perhaps the figure of authority is the only anchor he has to establish normality in his world, Anon is a stern master but not particularly cruel, yeah, he has slaves who he puts to work from sun to sun but she lets her serve In his mansion, doing less demanding but important work, allowing him to have his own room and eat better than many slaves, values so much your dedication that you trust his most important treasure; his daughter, something that would never allow any of those rebels, rude and Dirty ponies who look at you with contempt and speak bad of you between their teeth when they knew that you would work for their master personally, he does not punish, he does not despise you, he does not abandon you, you are important to him, you are valuable, You could continue the success of your company.

He is the most important person in the world.

Your master.

>His hand finds your scalp before you can speak more, and his fingers put you in bliss.
“But… Ooooohh… I mean… You’d be stealing me… Technically…”
>”Ditzy. Ditzy. Ditzy. Look in my eyes and ask me if I give a shit.”
>You struggle to turn around, managing to focus one of your eyes onto his much smaller ones.
>You’ve always wondered how they see anything with such tiny eyes.
“W-What if Keith reports me as a runaway?”
>He falls silent at that.
>”Uhhh… Fuck. Got me there. You want to take the risk?”
>You do.
>You do so badly it hurts.
>But images of clipping shears on feathers flash through your mind, and your resolve falls away.
>You wilt in his lap, eyes falling to the floor.
>You’re pathetic.
>>
>>29164051
>He seems to know, too.
>He presses a few buttons on his machine, then he picks you up and carries you back to his chair.
>”Well… No pressure. Jus' think about it, okay?”
“…Okay.”
>You manage to squeak out an answer as you curl up, trying to mask your shame.
>You hear him walk away and think he’s left you alone for a moment, but he returns to drape a blanket over you.
>”G’night, Ditzy.”
>You sit up, pulling the blanket tight around you as you watch him stumble back to his bedroom.
“G-Goodnight, Mr. Anonymous. Thank you so much.”
>An idle wave of his hand is your only response before he turns the light off, and you hear him flop onto his bed.
>You stay sitting there for a long time, listening to his breathing.
>After a time he starts snoring, and you know he’s asleep.
>You burrow into the chair and close your eyes.
>Waves of disgust crash over you.
>You still doubted him, even after he fed you and scratched you.
>If he was going to try something, he would have by now.
>Tears well up.
>You liked to think your servitude hadn’t changed you.
>But the Ditzy Doo who lived in Ponyville would never be so suspicious of another’s kindness.
>You bury your face in the armrest and weep.

That's all I got for now.

Have you ever whipped a writer, like a...like a real Skittles writer?

>>29164713
Corona.
No, but seriously, it's Vinyl Scratch. I guess I should feel blessed with the one I have, considering her small fanbase, but she's such a sexy mare.
>>
>>29164776
Nah Nah...
>>
>>29164776
Oh. Both of those characters have already gotten that.
>>
>>29164814
Have you ever tried to write?

>>29164859
Yea, I know. But can you blame me for wanting more stories about my girl?
If you're still feeling up to writing, you could always give a story to a pony that doesn't have one yet. Both the princesses are up for grabs. So is Sunset Shimmer.

>>29164878
Nah nah...

Alright, I can see that I will have to teach you, how to be, a writefag!

Nah, I'd best buckle down and get back to work on Berry, though the idea of EQGland being invaded and enslaved by True Humans would be interesting.
Or perhaps forgo True Humans entirely and have an authority figure Principal Celestia? find out that Sunset is really a pony and maybe killed her humanoid self to take her place and blackmails her into slavery.
>It's not so bad.
>She has a warm, comfortable bed to sleep in, even if she does have to share it with her mistress.
>Never has to worry about food.
>She's allowed to eat the scraps.
>Even given a small allowance that means she can hang out with her friends.
>But not after 10 PM.
>Mistress requires her to be home by then.
Hmm.
Nope. That'd be better served by a writefag who enjoys doing lewd.
>>
>>29152949
>The next day’s work is marked by occasional light rainfall, markedly quieter conversation among the orchard workers, and a lot of mud.
>True to forecast, sometime in the mid-afternoon the wind begins to pick up and heavier rains loom. You’re heading to the storage area with your eighth bag of the day when a small, white unicorn accosts you.
>”Hey, Starlight, looks like the storm is about to come in,” she dashes up to you, but slows as she gets close. “Have you thought about our offer? It’s not a mandatory meeting, but we’d like for you to be there…”
>You look up at the foreboding clouds and solidify your decision.
“I suppose it would be best to come, yeah. And I think I’ve met my quota for the day, hah.” You magic your full bag off of your back and over to the storage area.
>”Alright, great! Just head on over to the main house, the rest of the senior harvesters are already on their way.” She turns to the group of earth ponies whose jobs involved transporting and weighing the berry crop. “Hey, Starlight’s done for the day, get her stuff weighed and stowed.”
>They nod resolutely, and Sweetie Belle follows you toward the main house.
>You have hopes that the walk will be a silent one and you’ll be allowed to simply think quietly before arriving, but those dreams are quickly dashed when Sweetie Belle trots up to your side.
>”So, Starlight, aren’t you at least wondering a liiittle bit about what this meeting’s about?”
“I guess so. I was just thinking it’s about the weather and production, or something along those lines. Is that right?”
>She smiles, “A little bit of that will be discussed, yeah. But don’t tell anyone I told you this, but the meeting is kind of about you!”
>>
>>29166164
“Me? What?”
>”Well, you and the other senior harvesters, but mostly you. I know this is your first harvest here, but believe me when I say it’s going way better than the past few years.” Her grin widens before continuing, “You’ve made a huge impact on all the ponies! Despite the weather, production was actually up a few percentage points yesterday. We were expecting something along the lines of 50 percent less.”
“I thought quality was more important than quantity though? You made that pretty clear, yesterday, when you… you know.”
>She shakes her head. “That was an isolated case. Well, mostly. One other stallion got a lighter punishment for doing something similar. But overall, most of the ponies kept up acceptable quality, and put in the extra effort.”
“So what does that mean for them?”
>”Well, for you, you’ll find out at dinner tonight. That’s what this really is, kind of a mini-celebration and nice dinner for you all. For the rest of the ponies, though, aside from a few extra days off we’re trying to get some things planned.”
“Such as?”
>She gives you a quizzical look, “We were actually hoping that you could help us with that. We’ve got some ideas, sure, but nothing concrete. You’ve been out there, with everybody, err, everypony else. You probably know better than us what would be good for them.”
>You consider that for a moment. What would make the ponies here happy? For the week or so you’d been here, you’d mostly been focused on making good impressions and a few friends. Twilight and your darker past had both taught you to be happy with just those little things.
>>
>>29166166
>But what about the Average Joe ponies? What do they want, to be happy? A roof over their heads, they have that. Hot meals, check. Family was often a big problem for ponies in your predicament, but the Apples wouldn’t tear a family apart. They’d be the last ponies on earth, or Equestria, to do that.
“I mean, there is a party pony here. Why not just ask him?”
>”You mean Cheese Sandwich? Of course we ask him. You know he doesn’t even work with the rest of the earth ponies, right? He plans and puts on recreational events full-time.”
“And so if you don’t want the party pony’s help, then you probably don’t want a party this time.”
>”Well, not necessarily,” Sweetie Belle looks up, as if in thought. “It’s just that we do that every year, and there are events like that all the time. We’re just trying to find something really special this year, as long as everyone keeps up the pace.”
“I’ll think about it, then. Honestly, for me personally, I’m pretty happy already. Having a job I’m good at, new and old friends around, and a good home is all I really need to be satisfied.”
>Sweetie Belle is silent for a moment, before responding, “I’ll keep that in mind, Starlight. Don’t think you’re getting away with your amazing performance without reward, either.”
>She leaves it at that, and pulls ahead of you.
>…
>>
>>29166176
>The rain starts coming down harder just as you reach the front steps of the massive home.
>You’d been up close to it before, but it was no less imposing this time than when you first set eyes on it. Three stories tall, with massive marble columns and detailed oxidized copper adornments on its red brick exterior, the structure was an architectural marvel.
>It must have cost millions to construct, but then again, a single property of this size on fertile soil is probably worth far more.
>You certainly can’t imagine there being any financial hardship around here.
>You find that the steps are the perfect height for a pony, unlike many human buildings and constructs. This place was designed with pony navigation in mind.
>It’s a reasonably high climb, as the building’s foundation is several feet high. The ground floor is technically just above your head.
>The front door is imposing as well, a wide entrance composed of solid, dark hardwood. It has two sets of peep-holes, one slightly below your eye level and one far above it. The door has both a round knob and a latch designed to be easily manipulated by a hoof.
>The place is probably designed throughout with pony occupants in mind.
>Finding the door unlocked, you cautiously shake yourself off outside and step in.
>The door leads to what appears to be a main living room, a large, open area with hallways, doors, and arches opening up on all sides. The walls are either painted a soothing, dark green, or covered in dark laminated wooden panels. Decorating them are countless wall arrangements, ranging from landscape paintings to weapon displays to collections of framed photographs of varying sizes.
>On the far side of the room is a massive cobblestone hearth, expertly crafted to give the room a rustic feel yet clearly precisely engineered to maximize functionality and safety. Above it hangs a reasonably large flat screen television.
>>
>>29166199
>The room’s sole occupant, Anonymous, is currently engaged with a weather forecast on the television, but shuts it off and turns to you as the door opens.
>”Ay, was wonderin’ when you’d be comin’ by, Starlight Glimmer.” He squints his eyes slightly, appraising you. “Aw shit, you’re soaked. I know how long y’all ponies stay wet for what with all that fur; lemme get you a towel.”
>He quickly moves to open one of the room’s doors, revealing a small half-bathroom inside. He grabs a reasonably large towel and tosses it to you.
>”I think you can dry yourself with that magic of yours. Everyone else’s in the kitchen, just come on in when you’re ready. It’s on the left.”
>He closes the bathroom door, and exits the room into the kitchen to the left. You start to dry yourself with the towel, before remembering your newly freed magic and quickly zapping all the water and mud off.
>You shove the small, airborne collection of water droplets out the door, catching one last glimpse of the now-raging storm. Looks like you made the right call to come here.
>Laughter from the room to your left reminds you of your purpose here, and so you make your way through the wide archway into the kitchen and dining area.
>This room is about the same size as the one you just left. In other words: large. A large, modern kitchen area takes up most of the far wall, with a long island separating it from the rest of the room. You count a total of four stainless steel sinks of varying sizes.
>What you almost immediately notice, however, is how the entire room is designed to accommodate ponies and humans equally. The refrigerator, instead of being tall and upright like in most homes, is instead long and positioned below the higher countertops.
>Although Anon would have to kneel or bend down to access it, a pony or even a tiny filly would have no problems.
>>
>>29166208
>But it’s not just the fridge. Everything else in the kitchen is custom designed to allow the ponies to access it with ease. Along the base of all the counters runs a small ledge, which apparently allow a pony to stand on his or her hind legs and access the full breadth of the counter area.
>There are no overhead cabinets. Instead, all of the storage is located down below, well within your reach.
>Appliances such as the blender and microwave have oversized buttons, knobs, and handles to allow even the clumsiest earth pony to operate them with hooves and teeth.
>And, lastly, a portion of the entire countertop is at about half height, where a pony can work while standing on four legs.
>It’s just a functional kitchen area, but the lengths taken to make it accessible to the building’s shorter residents are just… unheard of in the human world.
>All of this registers in just a moment, and your attention is quickly taken up by the ponies happily chatting around the bar and seating area.
>Ruby Heart is the first to notice your entrance, “Hey, Starlight, glad you came! Come on, take a seat with us!” You meander over to the bar area where she’s sitting in a row with Lyra, Applejack, and Scootaloo, and take an end seat beside the pegasus.
>Anonymous and Applebloom are working on food in various spots throughout the kitchen, and each give you a brief nod or welcome.
>Sweetie Belle and Sunny Streak are standing near a smaller, lit hearth in the corner of the room, with drinks levitating next to them. They give you a wave but don’t break their conversation.
>The four other ponies at the bar turn their bodies to look over at you, and Lyra slides a drink your way. “Here, have a drink. It’s cider, just like in Ponyville, remember?”
>>
>>29166215
>Applejack beams at you, “The same Apple family recipe! We don’t produce it commercially, but we still maintain a few apple trees over yonder by the back shed. Stuff’s fresher’n newly-picked zap apples!”
>You pick up the glass with your magic, and give it a testing swig. The alcohol in it is light, but it’s been a long time since any has touched your throat. It’s good stuff, to be sure.
“Oh man, it’s like a little taste of home. I’d almost forgotten how good your family made it.” You take another sip and smile, “Almost.”
>”Well, glad you approve, sugar cube. If ya prefer, we got harder stuff too, or just beer. Local town ain’t too big, but they got a well-stocked liquor store.”
“I’m good, thanks. Honestly, it’s been years since I’ve had alcohol in me at all, this is a nice reminder.”
>As you take another sip of the sweet, cool cider, Scootaloo asks you, “If you don’t mind us asking, what HAVE you been up to these past few years? Ever since, you know, we last saw each other. If you don’t want to tell us, I get it, but still…”
“Oh, no, don’t worry about that, I’ve been pretty fine. You see, after the portals closed…”
>And so you spent the better part of an hour telling them about what you’d been up to since the portals closed and Equestrians were declared indentured workers. The term was a euphemism, as there weren’t any expirations on the contracts as the term used to imply, and manumission was made globally illegal.
>You realized the situation for what it was pretty early on, and did your best to fall in line and keep a low profile. You made your talents partially known, to escape a life of hard labor, but never really told anyone of their full extent.
>The way you see it, you got off lightly. You worked with a contractor for a few months, working in a warehouse doing work mostly similar to what you did the first week on the farm, before being sold to a local library in a Seattle suburb.
>>
>>29166222
>The people there were generally nice, as it was a stable, upper-middle class area. You were given a small room in the back, access to computers and books, and your work was light.
>Mostly, your ‘bosses’ consisted of elderly librarians, who generally treated you with respect and courtesy. The kindest was the place’s benefactor, Mrs. Clemens. She was a wealthy old widow, and always made sure that you were treated well.
>On a couple occasions, when unruly library patrons accosted you, she had authorities come and fine or arrest them. One fat, old, mean woman even got herself tased. Good times.
>A few months ago, though, she passed, and the library suddenly found itself short on funds. Although the community was successfully able to keep it open and running, they could no longer afford to house and feed you permanently.
>And so you were sold at auction on good terms, without ever having been mistreated. You weren’t there by choice, but that was about all you could say negatively about the past few years.
>Plus, with access to the internet, which quickly occupied much of your time, you were able to learn well enough of human customs, society, science, history, and just about everything else. You would even sometimes join a high school study group or two to learn their material.
>Of course, they also wanted to know what happened before the portals closed, too. They hadn’t seen you for months before then. You just told them that you’d been working in Canterlot with Twilight for a few months, and by sheer bad luck were in the countryside when the portals opened for the last time.
>You know that’s not the whole truth, and they probably do as well, but they nonetheless seem satisfied with their answer. Which is good, because it’s all they’re going to receive.
>>
>>29166248
>Your thoughts once again wander, briefly, to your old mentor Twilight Sparkle. You had always wondered what happened after the two of you got split up. She’s smart enough to have avoided the harsher fates, but certainly didn’t lay low like you.
>She is an alicorn, after all.
>But you wave those thoughts away, and instead focus on the ponies in front of you.
“And, well, I think that’s it. After I was on auction for a few days, Anonymous picked me up, and you all know the rest.”
>”Glad to hear that you were safe,” Scootaloo says, in a happy but serious tone. The other three ponies nod in agreement.
“What about you guys? How did you end up here with Anonymous, and dare I say, in such high regard.”
>”Well now, sugar cube, that’s a much longer story for a different day.” Seeing your frown, Applejack just laughs and points to the table, “Don’t worry, you’ll hear it sometime. But now, we got dinner, so let’s eat!”
>You look over to the table to find Anonymous, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom finishing setting the table. The five of you at the bar slip from your seats and take places along the long dinner table.
>…
>>
>>29166250
>Dinner is laid out on a series of platters, bowls, and plates along the center of the long table.
>The table itself keeps with the rustic, hardwood theme of the rest of the room, although is a distinctly lighter color. Butter-yellow overhead lights compete with the flickering orange glow of the nearby fireplace.
>The cooks have aimed to impress, as the table is filled with not only a copious amount of food, but also a high degree of variety.
>No matter how much the average earth pony ate, the leftovers from this meal will feed the household for days.
>You almost settle into the chair nearest your bar stool, before noticing ‘Sweetie Belle’ embroidered in blue on its cushion. You take the seat next to it instead, which lacks a name.
>All the ponies take their seats, and Anonymous goes around the table filling water glasses. Cleverly, the glasses are tapered at the middle, allowing a set of hooves to gingerly grab its smooth surfaces without worry for spillage.
>”I’ll be the first to say it,” Sunny Streak proclaims as she sits down, “Mr. Anonymous, this meal looks just fantastic.”
>”Why thank you, Sunny Streak. And please, when we’re in the house, y’all can drop the title. Anonymous, or hell, even just Anon is fine by me.”
>”Well, Anon,” Lyra gives him a wink as she uses the shorthand name, “I’ve got to agree. I can’t wait to dig in. The roasted beets look just fantastic.”
>”Well then, let’s say grace and get to it.” He nods to Applejack, “AJ, how ‘bout you lead tonight?”
>”Sure thing. Alright everyone, bow your heads.”
>Each of the ponies and Anonymous put their hooves and hands together before them, bowing their heads. You do likewise.
>>
>>29166254
>”Bless us, o Lord, an’ these gifts which we’re about to receive…”
>This is an… interesting development. You’d known that many ponies had adopted the local faiths, but to see an old friend not only partaking but leading in a Christian prayer is a new experience.
>For the most part, the Christian churches acknowledge that the ponies have sentience and souls, which makes them candidates for salvation and worship. Islamic, Jewish, and most other faiths had differing opinions, which meant that those ponies who chose to take up a faith overwhelmingly went to the Christian churches.
>The topic of slavery, though, was a thorn in their sides. Abrahamic faiths never expressly prohibited slavery, and some still saw it as potentially a moral good. Most denominations chose indifference towards it.
>The biggest schisms tended to be related to interspecies relationships.
>Having established that pony souls are just as valid as human ones, the churches were now stuck between banning marriages between them in accordance with ancient opposition to bestiality, or approving them on the basis that ponies carry the same spiritual identities as people.
>Protestant churches were all localized in their opinions, with some preaching against it, others for it.
>The hierarchal Catholic and Orthodox churches’ higher-ups continue to hotly debate the topic.
>Overall, though, all churches drew in plenty of ponies, simply due to the promise of salvation. Plus, Christian morality is surprisingly close to traditional Equestrian values.
>You personally had had no reason to take up religion. The library patrons and employees alike never gave you trouble about it, and you’d never been terribly spiritual in Equestria, either.
>But here you sit, silently, as the ponies and sole human around you recite the mealtime prayer by heart. You’re not even sure what denomination the prayer belongs to, if any.
>>
>>29166257
>”…Amen!” the table ends together, and if anypony noticed your voice absent, they didn’t acknowledge it.
>Anonymous opens his eyes and spreads his hands before commanding, “Ponies, dig in!”
>There are too many options on the table for you to sample everything. You decide to load up your plate with a roasted, seasoned beet, a bit of Caesar salad, and several fried mozzarella sticks.
>As expected, the choices presented are entirely vegetarian, although you observe Anonymous cutting up a small steak on his own plate.
>Initially, the regular consumption of meat and especially beef by humans shocked you, but upon learning of the complete non-sentience of their local fauna, those fears dissipated.
>You aren’t even bothered by the use of horses as farm animals and food sources in some regions. They’re entirely different from you ponies, and also lack any kind of sentience.
>It’s unusual having only two thinking species in this world. In Equestria, even the smallest rodents could understand and engage a gently pony.
>But you digress. The meal before you is expertly prepared, and laboriously constructed. You’re somewhat surprised that Anonymous and the other residents had done the cooking, as they certainly can afford to have a private cook.
>But then again, the Apples traditionally made their living on food products. And they are indeed slow to drop tradition.
>For about fifteen minutes, conversation at the table is light, and compliments are easily exchanged for everything from the home’s interior to the table setting to the actual meal’s preparation.
>You notice early on that Big Mac is still missing from the table. You’d assumed that he would be coming in late, as he usually stayed out long in the fields, but his seat remains unfilled.
>>
>>29166261
>As everyone starts finishing his or her meal, Anonymous picks up his glass and raps a fork against its side to quiet down the table.
>”I’m glad y’all have enjoyed this meal, we worked real hard on it and wanted to do somethin’ nice for ya for workin’ so hard. But, ‘course, we do got some business to discuss.”
>Although the mood dampens somewhat, nopony groans or complains about the conversation’s shift. You’ve observed them all as very professional so far when it came to actual work, and that pattern is sustained tonight.
>”Now, I’d like to preface things with the reasons behind this little celebration. First of all, Starlight. I think everyone here knows by now what you’ve been doin’ these past few days. I’ve never seen anythin’ like it.”
You feel yourself blush slightly, and say in your best dismissive tone, “Oh, it was nothing, honest. Just using my magic for good is all.”
>”It certainly weren’t nothin’. I’ve dug out one of the better laptops for you, brand new. It’s yours, sittin’ on the living room couch. Same one Lyra’s got.”
>Lyra winks and mouths something to you, but you can’t make out the message.
>”But that’s not it, ‘course. Soon as the harvest is over, you’re gettin’ three grand to outfit your room however you want. The full package, whatever. TV, game console, stereo, I ain’t leavin’ anything off the table. Just send me an Amazon wishlist, and for furniture, we can drive into town sometime.”
You’re taken somewhat aback, and noticing your mouth slightly agape, quickly spit out, “Three grand? As in three thousand dollars? Are you sure? That’s a lot of money, and I’ve only been here for-“
>He puts up a hand to cut you off, “I’m sure. Trust me, you’ve made us a LOT more than that in profit already this season. It’s just the beginnin’ of what we can do for ya.”
>>
>>29166265
>Applejack smiles and speaks up, “Didn’t ah tell y’all she’d be great here?”
>Anon returns the smile, “That y’did, AJ. I really need to start takin’ your word at face value more often.”
>He clears his throat, mostly to shift the train of thought, “But she ain’t the only one who’s been picking up the slack ‘round here. Y’all senior harvesters have been boostin’ production by anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five percent since last year, after accounting for the weather. I know y’all probably got all’s you need for furnishings, but you’ll be gettin’ some more privileges too, soon enough.”
>Lyra perks up at that, and you observe Sunny Streak and Ruby Heart sharing a hoof-bump at the prospect.
>”Now, for something a bit less congratulatory. I know y’all had to see the punishment that was doled out yesterday to a mare named Soda Pop. Starlight, that was pro’ly a shocker to you, and I’d like to talk about it more with ya later.”
>He waits for an acknowledgement, and after you give him a tentative nod, he continues, “She weren’t the only one. The other ponies all saw Starlight’s production, and they’re jealous. Some are tryin’ to artificially bump their numbers, pickin’ up stepped-on and ruined berries and passin’ ‘em off as whole. We can’t have that.”
>He looks around the table, but everypony is silent, and all eyes remain fixed on him. “I know we never done this before, but starting tomorrow, y’all are being given boss powers. That means, if’n y’all see anypony doin’ something they shouldn’t, you don’t report it. Instead, you line ‘em out yourself. Now, that don’t mean I want you beatin’ ‘em, but try to cut off bad behavior at its root.”
>You feel some of your hairs stand up straight on your back as what Anonymous just said registers. Like it or not, you’ve been put on the spot as a boss, and it’s your job to hold authority once more.
>>
>>29166268
>You want to raise a hoof and decline, but his expression is dead-set, and you can see that there is no room for discussion on this topic.
>Your fellow senior harvesters each take the news differently. Lyra reacts subtly, but her widened eyes and slightly upturned mouth corners indicate her willingness to take on the task.
>Ruby Heart simply seems lost in thought, but a small smile eventually graces her lips, as well.
>Sunny Streak gives an immediate, resolute nod, but her straight face is impossible to read.
>You follow her example and try to keep your own poker face, and give a less pronounced, but still visible, nod.
>”Good. Glad y’all are up to the task. Do a good job, and we can see about more permanent positions for you four.” That gets their focus even more, and you hone in on his next words as well. “Fact of the matter is that this farm’s gotten too big for just us to manage. We’re gonna need allies, and y’all are at the top of the list.”
>This… is not what you wanted. Not only are you being forced to take a position of authority almost immediately, but it could be permanent, as well.
>Is there anypony on the farm as qualified as you to do it? Probably not, and chances are, Anonymous and the foreponies know for certain.
>But that doesn’t mean that you actually want to be a leader. You can handle the responsibility, sure, but can you handle yourself? History is, after all, doomed to repeat itself.
>>
>>29166272
>And do you even deserve it after everything else? Fuck no, that’s an easy one to answer.
>The conversation doesn’t go much further on the point, as it’s already decided. Your new duties are pretty simple, stop anypony you see picking berries off the ground or stealing from others, or even just going too fast. Give them a verbal command, and if things escalate, fetch Sweetie Belle.
>After ironing that bit out, a few thoughts are exchanged about the after-harvest celebration, but nothing substantial really comes up. It’ll probably be similar to last year, although the Crusaders want to bring in some extra fun and games activities, like a bounce house.
>…
>>
>>29166276
>As the conversation winds down, so does the weather outside. With time now being stretched thin, you and the other senior harvesters make ready to leave.
>As you’re getting out of your chair, Anonymous calls out to you, “Actually, Starlight, if’n you don’t mind I’d like you to stay a bit longer. We got a few more things to talk about.”
>Although you no longer have the same fear of your superiors that had gripped you as recently as this afternoon, you don’t really want to stay much longer either. But, you suppose, it’s good to make a good initial impression with your… owner.
“Yes, Anonymous. Would you like to talk here, or…?”
>”My office, if you please. It’s through the living room, left hall on the far wall, second door to the left. I’ll meet y'there, got a bit of cleanup to do first.”
>You nod and head for the office room. As you pass through the living room, you spot a smooth black laptop resting atop a waterproof carrying pouch designed specifically for ponies. As promised, it’s the same one Lyra has.
>The hallway you’re directed down has three doors on each side, although the second door, which you’re headed for, has much wider margins of wall on each side. It’s a long hall, and you’re again reminded of how large this house actually is.
>Finding the door slightly ajar, you push it open and enter the room.
>It’s much larger than you expected, and despite the lights being off, you can see that it extends up to the second floor, as well. On the far wall are four tall windows, with one set being on the bottom floor and the other on the second.
>By the moonlight filtering in, you can see that the upper level is composed of a wraparound balcony that overlooks the space below. Flicking on the lights reveals a thin spiral staircase connecting the two levels.
>>
>>29166286
>Along three of the walls, excepting the one with windows, are sets of imbedded bookcases. Both levels are well-filled, with various knick-knacks adorning the book ends and shelves. You’re reminded of your recent home and employment, now hundreds of miles away.
>Aside from the bookcases and soft, rouge carpet, what catches your eye is the working space situated between the tall windows in front of you.
>Seemingly tailored for a supervillain, a massive and expertly carved wooden desk is paired with a high-backed leather office chair, its surface adorned only with a small work desktop which occupies not even a fraction of its area. In front of the desk are two much smaller chairs.
>But behind the desk, hanging on the wall, is something much more interesting. A massive collection of framed photographs hangs, almost all of them recent and containing one or more of the ponies occupying this house.
>Pictures with them and Anonymous, solo portraits, snapshots of the Apples together, and even a few old photos from Equestria. Everypony in the house is represented here, including old Granny Smith.
>Of the dozens of photographs, only one small one lacks a pony: a small photograph at the bottom-left of the collection, featuring a younger Anonymous and two older humans, presumably his parents.
>Although each of the ponies has at least one solo photograph, he fails to appear alone throughout the collage.
>You’re lost in thought examining the collection, and don’t notice as he enters the room behind you.
>”Enjoying the photographs, I take it?”
>You jump a bit and swirl around, slightly embarrassed for gawking at them instead of taking a seat.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Anonymous, it’s just a big collection. Very well put-together. I’ll take a seat.”
>>
>>29166291
>”Nothin’ to be sorry about, I lose myself in thought lookin’ at it sometimes, too. It’s why it’s there, behind my work area. Need somethin’ to remind me of reality and the good things in life.”
>He steps up beside you for a moment, silently scanning the pictures himself, before taking a seat in the massive office chair. You move to place yourself in one of the smaller chairs.
“This is quite the office. I love the bookcases. I was working in a library for the past few years, you know. One of the older sections looked a lot like this, but a lot less personal.”
>”Thanks, put a lotta time – and money – into the place.”
>He pauses, placing his elbows on the desk and his chin on his clasped hands, looking you down. You think he’s expecting you to speak, and you open to mouth to do so just as he begins, “So, how’d ya do it? How’d ya smash the records of our most talented harvesters twice over?”
“I… suppose that it’s just my talent. You’ve heard that unicorns have wildly different levels of power and control over their magic, right?”
>He gives you a brief nod.
“Well, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I was honestly one of the most powerful and practiced unicorns in Equestria before coming here. Aside from Princess Twilight Sparkle, my mentor, there really wasn’t even anypony to compare to aside from the ancient Sisters.”
>No point in hiding that from him, or explaining details about how Equestria worked. Chances are, Applejack had already told him everything, and this is a test more than anything else.
>”Lucky buy for me then, I guess. But truth be told, Starlight, I’m ready to put a lotta trust in you, and need to know you’re worth it. I meant what I said earlier when I told AJ I’d start takin’ her advice more at face value, and she says you’re a pony she can trust with her life.”
>>
>>29166299
>You’re flattered, but not surprised by the admission. You’d hurt her in the past, but you’d also been through tough times together as well.
>”But let’s start with a question for you, Starlight Glimmer. Why do you think we even grow barley here? No secret that the berries are way more profitable, and take less labor to grow.”
>You’d thought about it briefly, but never given the topic hard consideration.
“I… don’t really know, to be honest. I just assumed it was profitable, is all, and that maybe you wanted some crop diversity. Or, something like that.”
>”What if I told you it’s not profitable? What if I told you we lose tens of thousands on the barley crop every year, after you factor in the costs of its labor force?”
>His gaze narrows at you, “Why in hell would we grow it, Starlight?”
“I-I don’t know. Why?”
>”Security, Ms. Glimmer. The barley, and all the ponies growin’ it, are nothin’ but security.”
>…

Aaaaand end update. Comments/concerns/criticisms/whatever always appreciated. I thought this was a pretty boring segment overall, but we reach some important conclusions and lay the groundwork for more. Obviously, the next section will be important, and I'll try to balance quality with release speed.

I'm a hopeless optimist.
I'm hoping it's something like to keep the price of barley low. Making it cheaper for the populace to keep their ponies feed. leading to a slightly better life for those that they can't save.

>>29166308
My only concern is that the volume you produce can make it daunting for the new to ketch up.

Well, there were some details that had tons of elaboration that didn't really need it, but the worldbuilding and general sense of foreboding is great.
>>
>>29166308
It wasn't boring, you have the pace just right. All that detail describing the kitchen fittings was also describing the relationship Anon has. I love every word!
>>
>>29167637
See >>29167995

The details are there by design, I felt it long-winded as well, but it's important not only for setting but to provide some insights on how Anon and his closest ponies interact and work with each other.
>>
>>29164057
I feel unf in my heart. I hope you find some way to continue. Maybe something involving the hobopony from the beginning.
You could go in the direction of Kevin seriously hurting her enough that Anon can call Pony Slave Services on him.
>>
>>29147840
Hey, I'm a newfag who just recently finished A Deal is a Deal. I had a couple of questions about the setting:

1. Is it still in progress or is it off the shelf for your writing plans for now?

2. Can you tell me a little more about the timeline before Twilight closes the portals? I know it goes something like
>Gates open to peaceful relations -> Celestia is assassinated -> Twilight closes most of the portals and kills half a billion people -> Humans raze Ponyville to the ground in revenge -> Eventual ceasefire with pony refugees taken to the human sides

But what happened between Celestia's assassination and Twilight closing the portals? She didn't make the decision to shut them down based solely on that, did she?
>>
>>29168251
1. Still working on it, we're just at a point where it's boring to write. Figured out how to brute force my way through that, though, so more soon. Hopefully.

2. Here's a rough outline I came up with: http://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/25842919/#25857351
Some details have changed and nothing is canon until it has actually been included in the story, but overall it's still mostly accurate.
>>
>>29168695
1. Sounds awesome, can't wait to see what comes. Been enjoying what I've read through so far.

2. This is very interesting. Was mankind mostly helpless against Nightmare Moon or were the Elements just the first to put her down? And was Equestria on the defensive entirely after Ponyville or did they strike back on the human side at any point either? Were other major populations like Canterlot or Cloudsdale destroyed along with Ponyville? I'm surprised they kept casualties as low as they could: from AB's perspective it sounded like they killed as many civvies as they could in their anger (or was that just from her perspective?)
>>
>>29166257
Finally someone dared to address the issue of religion in their stories, it is good to talk about beliefs is to tread on a rugged terrain for personal values of each person, but it is refreshing to read a story where at least you can read the point of View of a pony with respect to that human idea
>>
>>29166308
This is what I call Update, what better way to end the year than reading a story like this, and this is a good story, and it's just beginning.

What can I say? It is possible that Anon consider using Starligth for something more than simple direction, he plans something more, possibly something that she does not like but in the end should access for the good of the community, but the most interesting is the management of Anon His affairs, it is obvious that he would eventually remind Glimer as she was in his past, because he is now the tyrant and she is his slave.

Good job HJ and happy 2017 for everypeople

DRINK 9: CHAMPAGNE IS A PLAIN SHAM

>So… time passes.
>Not a lot, just a few weeks.
>Just long enough for Christmas to come and go and for Berry to tell you about Christmas in Equestria which honestly sounds pretty fucking metal.
>More metal than the rapebaby of German Christmas and Norse Christmas.
>Be friends or GENOCIDE!
>Forget bad little kids getting tossed in sacks and beaten! In horsyland EVERYONE FUCKING DIES!
>Frozen apocalyptic wasteland as far as the eye can see!
>Seriously some Ragnarok level shit right there.
>Yeah, it’s pretty fucking metal.
>Almost makes you wonder who hasn’t been friends today, because it’s cold as fuck outside and getting colder.
>Should be in the negatives with the wind chill later tonight.
>Sammich has been by a few times, perhaps by RANDOM CRAZY HAPPENSTANCE only on the coldest of nights. Nights like tonight.
>You’re a nice guy.
>You let her in every time.
>Still sneaks out every morning before you and Berry wake up.
>Well, before you wake up.
>Not *entirely* certain Berry gets any sleep those nights.
>Meh, slight amendment to statement: she still sneaks out every morning before you and Berry get up.
>There, one word changed and it’s now completely true.
>It’s been a while, though, long enough you’re starting to worry a bit, NOT THAT YOU’D REALLY WORRY ABOUT NOT HAVING TO FEED THAT HOBOFILLY AND DROWNING IN ALL THE MONEY YOU’D BE SAVING.
>You can probably find something to spend that money on.
>Maybe booze.
>>
>>29170281
>You aren’t the only one ‘not worrying’.
>She hasn’t been by since before Christmas. Sure, the nights have been pretty mild lately, and Berry has given her enough of your emergency rations to last her a month, but you still come home to find your little alcoholic fiddling with an empty bottle of vodka – and a still-wrapped present.
>She never did let you open it.
>That heinous bitch.
>Maybe today’s the day.
“Hey.”
>You drop your bag on the sofa and shuck off your coat.
“Heeeeeey!”
>”Hi, Anon,” Berry mumbles, setting the present down and half-turning from the withered and dying (or more likely dead) Christmas tree that’s just fucking BEGGING for a random spark so it can turn this entire block into a raging bonfire of commercialism and buzzwords.
“Enjoy your day off?”
>You’d gotten her a couple days. Well, more than a couple.
>From Christmas through New Year’s.
>You would try to claim that it was difficult, getting time off from a retail job during the busiest season, but… well… *management*.
>It’s only hard if they read the time off requests before approving them, which is why half of the store is gone.
>Mostly the human half.
>Who gives a shit about giving ponies time off?
>More importantly, why are you talking so much to yourself in your own goddamn head?
“BERRY!”
>That’s right! Talk to other people!
>Pretend that you’re a sane and well-adjusted individual!
>You strike a heroic pose – or at least as heroic as you can manage after a 10-hour shift of dealing with all the broken shit that manages to only show up at the final hour.
>>
>>29170290
>That’s right, a 10-hour shift. At the end of the week. After you’d already spent 37 hours there.
>Yep.
>The Powers That Be approved overtime for the first time this year.
>So truth be told, that heroic pose that you just struck?
>It’s not a very heroic pose at all. Not in the least.
>Rather bedraggled, actually.
>”You okay, Anon?”
“Fuck no.”
>Would have reaaaaaaally helped if she’d been there today, because today was apparently the official day for everyone to take down their decorations, return them to the store for a full refund despite being used and/or busted and/or covered in BIRD SHIT, and for customer service to go “OKAY, THESE ARE GOOD” and send them out to the salesfloor to be stocked out.
>Where, once someone remotely reasonable saw it –
>[SHOCK AND SURPRISE THAT SUCH A PERSON EXISTED]
> - it was sent directly to you –
>[COMPLETE LACK OF SHOCK AND SUPRRISE]
> - because you have nothing better to do than process defective merch aaaaaaall daaaaaaaaaaaaay loooooooong.
>”Anon?”
“I’m fine. Just bitching quietly in my head.”
>”Um, no, you weren’t.”
“Oh.”
>”You were talking out loud.”
“Then apparently I’m even less okay then I thought I was. BRING ME MY BEER!”
>You fall into the sofa, narrowly avoiding your discarded stuff. Actually, no you don’t and the lumpy back kinda digs into your belly painfully, but you roll off of them pretty quickly.
>Not of your own volition – you’re too tired for that.
>Thank gravity for gravity.
>>
>>29170301
>Too exhausted to do anything, even talk out loud, open your eyes, or stop talking out loud when you don’t mean to.
>It’s worth it, though.
>Pink Pony Needed Break Badly.
>Pink Pony Was About To Die.
>She’d been through some shit.
>Literally.
>Fucking hobos.
>Not literally.
>No hobofucking.
>And not ponyhobos, mind you, just regular, normal, ordinary, not even remotely cute *human* hobos shitting outside the compactor because… why…?
>WHY!?
>THE STORE WAS OPEN!
>JUST COME INSIDE AND USE THE FUCKING RESTROOM!
>And since amputating Berry’s hoof wasn’t an option…
>(according to her anyway)
>Well. Whatever.
>Anyway.
>Fuck that memory and all memories of everything.
>She needed time off, but maybe this was a mistake.
>Got her too many days off.
>She’s been pretty maudlin these last couple, like an episode of M*A*S*H.
>That’s right, you’re old enough to know what M*A*S*H is.
>It was referenced in Futurama once!
>You don’t know what M*A*S*H is except maudlin.
>Something cold and wet is being pushed against your hand.
>Goddamn ponynose oh it’s a beer.
>Peasant swill.
>Just like you asked for.
>Until you forget you work retail, you can’t enjoy nice things.
>Seriously.
>Even if you have them, you can’t enjoy them, so why waste nice things now?
“Thanks, Berry. House all cleaned up?”
>”Clean enough.”
“Seriously, Berry, I’m fucking dead, so the least you could do is –“

>”I mean Fluttershy.”
“Realized that. I’ll concede that point.”
>You blindly raise your beer in salute.
>”And do you need me to open that beer for you?” Berry mutters.
“Will you drink it, too?”
>She shrugs. Your eyes are closed, but you know she shrugs.
“Do I really ask that much of you?”
>”You asked me to bring you a beer.”
“Unforgivable?”
>”You’re literally the worst.”
“Shit. Tell you what – open this for me and you can forget about the rose garden ever again.”
>”It’s already open.”
“Good. Fuck the rose garden. What about the house?”
>”It’s clean.”
“Good, because I ran into someone on the way home.”

>You almost feel like life is worth living again when you hear a gentle tapping at the door.

>[More light tapping.]
“I’M COMING! HOLD ON!”
>Okay, that sounded –
>That sounded perfectly normal and not gross in any way. It only sounds gross because you’re gross. Stop being gross.
>Stop thinking about dicks, faggot.
>Fuck that, why should you stop being gross?
>If your guests can be gross, why can’t you?
>Oh.
>Idea.
>She’s going in the shower first thing.
>Fuck yeah!
>Wait.
>Fuck no!
>If that happens, she won’t be gross!
>If she’s not gross, *you* can’t be gross!
>Hmm.
>You stand at the door, hand on the knob (the door’s knob, not your own), contemplating the options before you.

>That’s getting annoying.
>It’s distracting you from your solemn meditation.
>[KNOCKNOCKNO-]
>OKAY THAT’S REALLY ANNOYING.
>So you yank the door open.
>It was already unlocked.
>A little filly falls face first through the threshold, followed by Buttersplat, dragged down by the leash caught in Samantha’s mouth.
“Why didn’t you just open the door?”
>”Because I can’t reach it?” Ham grumbles through clenched teeth, through the floor, the vibrations of her mouth traveling up your leg until – oh, wait, no, you just hear her normally. But she’s still faceplanted on the entryway.
“Okay, that’s a valid reason. Fluttershy?”
>>
>>29170343
>”She didn’t ask me to.”
>Again, faceplanted, her long, pink tail fluttering in the breeze like her ass was a hill some marines had just planted a flag on.
>Dammit, stop being gross!
“Well… uh…”
>Blame the victim!
“If you’d opened the door, you wouldn’t have fallen!”
>”If she didn’t have to wear a collar…” the littlest porky mutters angrily as she stands (falls?) back to her hooves, “… she wouldn’t have fallen.”
“Hey, don’t blame me. I didn’t pass the leash laws.”
>You kneel and acquire the abandoned aforementioned affirmed leash and begin the not so slow process of dragging Loot(shy) inside.
“Anyway, thanks for going by to pick her up. Close the door behind you. Oh, and lock it. Would be a shame if… something something whatever just do it, ‘kay?”
>Samantha shakes her head, prolly not saying no but trying to clear the fog from her bashaddled brain.
>You feel safe making that assumption because she says “Fine,” before the headshaking.
>Oooof, sudden resistance on the leash.
>You look back and see Fluttershy’s face has left the smooth entryway tiles and hit carpet. You also see a little filly jumping up and down –
>Wait, how does someone jump down without, like, a cliff or… whatever, not important. It’s a saying.
> - jumping up and down trying to reach the door knob, her little hooves flailing at the apex of every leap.

>Or that she had a magazine.
>Or how she managed to roll it up, let alone wield it like a club.
>Or how she’s talking with it gripped in her mouth like that.
>”Stop that,” she SOMEHOW MANAGES TO SAY, swatting the little filly’s head. “And you –“
>You also don’t know how she’s going to reach your head or why you’re particularly scared of a little headswatting, but you back away quickly – and fall right over the arm of the sofa.
>Fucking sofa. Fucking knee height. Fucking physics.

>”Awwww.”
“Actually…”
>NOW SHE’S LOOKING AT YOU AGAIN.
“Look, Sam’s going to take a shower anyway, so why doesn’t she do that now so I don’t have to –“

>”Plus,” the mare adds, “you haven’t been by in over a week and… well…”
>”Yeah,” Fluttard agrees, reaching for the remote, her leash still dangling behind her, forgotten and irrelevant in the presence of ANIME and ANIME ACCESSORIES. “You kinda stink.”
>SMACK.
>Yep. Berry’s kind towards retards.
>Fluttershy is still alive enough to yelp.
>”Fine,” hobofilly sighs. “But does *she* have to –“
>Clearly, she’s talking about Pedoshy, what with all the hoof pointing and angry/scared glaring.
>”Nuh-uh.”
>Weird how Berry can talk clearly with a magazine in her mouth, but Mumblemutter can’t with a remote control in her mouth.
>”Gonnah wah Bih Oh.”
“NOPE.”
>The way she stares at that suitdude is way too creepy.
>Watching that with her is more uncomfortable than grabbing the ponyslobbered remote out of her mouth.
>”Awwwwwww…”
“We’re gonna watch… uh…”
>”Gundam?”
>She’s on a mecha kick?
“Sure. Fuck it. Why not?”
>Unless she starts clopping when the robots come out.
“Which one?”
>”…”
>Yep.
>You can HEAR the ellipsis that come out of her mouth.
>”… there’s more than one…?”
“Sam, go take your shower.”

>Okay, that was a waste.
>Sure, you don’t have hobofillydirt n’ shit all over your chair, but the minute Starving Sammy got a sniff of dinner, she’s drooling.
>God, you hope that’s drool.
>>
>>29170384
>God, you hope that’s drool on Roboshy’s chair.
>Mare clearly has a mechafetish.
>Fuck it. If you get rid of one chair, you were going to have to get rid of the other too.
>Replacing one would just be silly.
>A man’s gotta coordinate his seating properly or he’s nothing but a barbarian.
>A sober, awkward, reaaaaaally uncomfortable barbarian who’s contemplating setting both seats on fire, possibly with the ponies still in them.
>Fucking hell, that better be drool.
>That would be almost forgivable.
>Food does smell pretty good.
>Not that you’re drooling or creaming yourself.
>That’s just spilled beer. From earlier.
>You were tired, okay!?
>”Can we go back to watching –“
“No.”
>You’re not going to be responsible for making a little child sit through that – or what Flutterlewd might do during the next fight scene.
>”But –“
“Quiet. We’re watching Avatar.”
>Well, *they* are.
>You’re just keeping the sofa from floating away – and the remote out of Flutterhooves.
>”But –“
“It’s anime, okay?
>”No! No it isn’t!”
“Close enough.”
>"It's all wrong! It's almost right, but it's wrong!"
>Hmm.
>Damn.
>The remote’s mute button doesn’t work on ponies.
>”I’m enjoying it,” Sam comments, because you apparently give a shit about her opinion.
>”But it’s all wrong!”
“Know what? I’m out. Gonna help Berry in the kitchen.”
>You throw the remote on the coffee table and yourself over the back of the sofa.
“Thunderdome for it.”
>The silence from the pair is beyond ominous, but badasses don’t look at the explosion.
>>
>>29170391
>You walk away.
>Best pony raises her head from the floor as you stumble into the kitchen.
>Then she raises her beer – and throws it aside.
>”Damn. Empty.”
>It’s doesn’t make it into the recycling can, nor was it the only one to miss the mark.
>So much for giving her time to sober up.
“Leave any for me?”
>It’s not sarcasm – it’s altruism.
>If you’re drunk enough, she’ll look sober in comparison!
>YES, THIS IS TOTALLY YOUR REASON FOR WANTING A DRINK.
>Berry nods towards the fridge.
>”A few.”
>At least she doesn’t *sound* drunk.
>You step over her and pull open the door to receive your prize.
>One solitary beer.
>Wheeeee!
“Well… uh…”
>She doesn’t look happy.
>Should probably do something about that.
>You sink down to the floor beside her.
“What’s wrong?”
>Besides being out of beer, of course.
>>
>>29170401
wow. what en excellent time to f5
>>
>>29170401
>”Just… memories.”
“Ah.”
>You pass her the beer.
“Fuck memories.”
>”Fuck memories,” she agrees, followed by a swig of YOUR beer.
>She still looks sad, though.
>Well, shit. You’ve done everything humanly possible.
“I’ll… uh…”
>Oh shit, she looks so fucking sad.
>TIME TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
“… um… the food smells great.”
>”Good,” she murmurs. “It’s been a while since I really cooked anything.”
“You cook all the time.”
>”Just food.”
“Um…”
>”Ramen n’ shit. Not a meal.”
>Ehhhhhh, acceptable.
>You concede the point with a simple nod, but still -
“Maybe you should more often.”
>Berry starts to open her mouth – but thinks better of it. A shrug conveys things well enough.
“Guess there’s not really a reason to if it’s just the two of us.”
>She nods – or maybe is just taking a sip of beer.
>One gesture pretty much melds into the other without any distinct separation between them.
“So… uh… how long?”
>Berry raises her head, looking at you – and with a twitch, *past* you, to the microwave and the numbers counting down.
>”It’ll be ready in 13 minutes.”
>Not what you were asking, and you think she’s sober enough to know it.
>Well, you’ve done what you could.
>If she doesn’t want to talk…
>”Help me get everything set?”
>Eh, you could do a little more.

>Sam looks over her teeny little shoulder as you walk back into the room.
“Where’s… uh…”
>This is not the direction you expected Thunderdome to go.
>>
>>29170416
>”I put her in the closet,” Sambam, answers, turning her attention back to the NOT-WEEABOO SHIT on the screen.
“Uh… ’kay.”
>GOOD ENOUGH EXPLANATION FOR YOU.
>You set the plates on the coffee table and double back for the next load.
>Well…
>You should probably let Nuttershy out.
“Which closet?”
>”One by the front door.”
>Ah. The coat closet.
>Technically.
>Long devoid of coats, because company is something other people have over and your own coat can go wherever the fuck it lands when you cast it aside, you’ve filled it up with… uh… other stuff?
>Huh.
>There’s light shining from underneath the door.
>But… there’s no light in there.
>Shit, did you really manage to set Lightershy on fire with your brain?
>You take the handful of steps and – carefully - pull the door open.
>The silliest yellow pegasus looks up at you through her lashes, flashlight clutched in her mouth and –
>Ah. Right. That’s what you were storing in here.
> - and a manga clutched in her hooves.
>”Uhhhh –“
>She spits out the flashlight.
>”- hi…?”
“Time to eat.”
>You spin and head towards the kitchen, but she calls out after you.
>”Wait, wait!”
“What?”
>”Anon, what *are* these!?”
“Manga.”
>”But what *is* it?”
“Uhhhhh… drawn anime…?”
>”Oh. That’s nifty.”
“Um… just get out of there, okay? Dinner’s going to be ready in a bit.”
>”Sure, fine,” she answers, head bobbing away like she’s sucking on a cock. “But… um… one more question?”
“What.”
>”These are all… um…”
>>
>>29170425
>She holds up the manga she had been reading and pokes at one of the speech bubbles.
>“… dubbed.”
>wat
>”I mean, they’re *nice*, but do you have any that are… um… subbed…?”
“Jesus Fucking Christ you are literally fucking retarded.”
>You close the door and go back to the kitchen because the law is pretty strict on what does and does not qualify as a mercy killing.
>Yes, you checked.
>Somehow – and you have no idea how – she’s found her way out of the closet and into her be-drooled(?) chair on your third trip.
>Serving platter with a mashed potato roast.
>You have no idea what kind of pony witchery and magics made this a thing.
>Second had been the drinks.
>Water all around!
>Little ponies need to stay hydrated and sodas are unhealthy!
>>
>>29170436
why so mean to the cute little butterball
>>
>>29170436
>Also, you’re out of beer!
>Little Hammy lunges for the roast-like substance with all the decorum of a fucking hobo – so, fuck it – you pick up Fluttershy and drop her on the filly.
“Stay.”
>Works like a fucking charm.
>They’re both too confused to so much as protest, let alone perform the simple procedure of getting off and/or getting thrown off.
>Berry put too much work into this meal to let either of them ruin it.
>You’re not what the stupid butterball was going do to wreck things, but it was something.
“Almost ready, Berry?”
>”Yeah,” the only decent pony in this place answers, a dish of corn balanced on her back, another of sweet potatoes on the tip of her nose – and a fucking bottle of champagne in her mouth.
“What’s that for?”
>”It’s New Year’s Eve, remember?”
“Yeah.”
>You shrug with the force of a thousand suns.
“Still a couple hours off. Shouldn’t we let that chill a bit longer?”
>She shakes her head.
>Meh.
>Whatever.
“One of these days, you’re going to have to tell me how you manage to talk with your mouth full like that.”
>”Practice.”
“O…kay.”
>You look around the kitchen and –
>”The mushrooms,” Berry points out. “Stove.”
“Got it.”
>>
>inb4 shinyanon doesn't post in the morning
>>
>>29170500
>Damn. Three sides and a main?
>Fucking impressive.
“Went a little all out, didn’t you?”
>”We didn’t have a decent Hearth’s Warming dinner, so…”
“This is it, huh?”
>”Yeah.”
>Fair enough.
“Anything else I need to get?”
>”Glasses?”
“Not going to drink straight from the bottle?”
>Stupid Anon.
>Did you really want another dose of The Look?
>Apparently so.
“Sorry. I’ll be right there.”
>Takes you a minute to find two champagne flutes, another minute to find the third, and yet another to decided that Bamalam doesn’t need one.
>She’s just a child.
>Which is why you’re really confused as to why Berry sends you back to find a fourth, but fuck it, who are you to judge a pony’s legal drinking age based solely on your human notions of propriety.
>Someone very reasonable perhaps, because Sam is scowling at Berry when you come back victorious.
>”I think you’re drunk again,” the filly growls. “I’m a child! You’re –“
>”It’s *fine*,” Berry responds with the firm patience of parent.
>Damn, she’s taking to this having-a-kid-around thing pretty well. Almost like she’s done it before.
>Well, Flutterapist *did* say she liked kids…
>Maybe they were part of the same sex offender club or something.
>”I’m not an alcoholic like you!” Sam screams as Berry slides a full flute over to her.
>”It’s *sparkling,*” the mare explains softly.
>“SO!?”
>”No alcohol.”
>She reaches over and ruffles the little filly’s mane.
>”You don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to, but I thought you might want to celebrate.”
>>
>>29170524

"be alive" and "f5"
I must be some sort of subliminal rhyming genius.

>>29170290

Also fucking management. They gave me me my time off request for today but not tomorrow. Tempted to just go in there drunk.
>>
>>29170592
>”Celebrate *what*?”
>Suddenly little filly eyes are open wide.
>Just as suddenly, they are narrow and suspicious.
>”What… day is it…?”
“New Year’s Eve.”
>”It’s a little early,” Berry continues, “but I thought… I thought… you *might* be too tired to stay up with us.”
>You take your seat beside Berry and – purely out of politeness – fill the final flute with pseudo-champagne.
>Not because you’re an alcoholic or anything who would rather pretend to be drinking than be without.
>NOPE. CERTAINLY NOT.
>”Oh,” Sammy whimpers, her ears pinned back. “I thought… maybe… nevermind. Can I eat now?”
>”What?” Fluttersquats asks, still perched on the filly. You should probably move her. Yeaaaaah, you should. Probably. “What did you think?”
>Eyes roll back as far in Sam’s little filly head as they can, glaring at the pegasus.
>”I thought maybe it was Christmas,” she grumbles. “Because of the meal.”
>”Oh. Nope! You’re off by – eeeep.”
>Yep, you’re moving her!
>Little fillies can’t eat with big ponies standing on them!
>”It’s a little late,” Berry murmurs, sliding off her spot and over to the filly’s chair. “But…”
>She drops that one fucking wrapped present beside Sammy.
>Oh goddammit. That was for her!?
>Deep down, you guess you knew that. You just didn’t want to believe.
>Like a reverse Agent Mulder.
>”Happy Hearth’s Warming.”
>>
>>29170644
>The look of happiness on her little filly face almost makes you forgive Berry.
>Almost.
>You were really banking on that pair of socks or whatever to make it through the harsh winter.

>There’s not a scrap of food left.
>Not that everything was eaten – though you certainly made a good faith effort on that front – but what little was left over, Berry packed up into little containers and has already stuffed into Sammy’s saddlebags.
>”She’s just going to sneak out again,” the mare sighs, looking over at the sleeping filly wrapped up in her brand new scarf.
>Damn thing is almost big enough for her to use as a blanket.
>Coincidentally, that’s how she’s using it right now.
>It would have been just the right size for you.
>[QUIET JEALOUSY AND PETTINESS]
“She’ll come back.”
>Maybe, maybe not, but you have to say *something* positive and reassuring, or you’d be a total asshole like Fluttershy.
>Stupid pony is glued to the tv. Hopefully *not* literally, though she’s sitting so close…
>Nope, nope, don’t think those thoughts.
>”I…”
>She looks away with a sigh.
>You know that sigh.
>Hope is for other people. People who don’t work retail.
>People who can have nice things.
>It’s a sigh of surrender.
>Of acceptance.
>It’s a step on some something step program for something.
>You haven’t the faintest clue what.
>”I’ll be right back,” Berry mumbles.
>>
>>29170690
>She snatches up the empty bottle of sparkling champagne and lurches out of the room, a weary, exhausted trot.
>Whelp.
>Almost time for bed?
>Nah, you’ve only got a few more minutes until midnight.
>Might as well stay up, right?
>Celebrate another meaningless march around the Sun?
>Pretend that there are things in the world worth being happy about?
>That life can somehow – magically, somefuckinghow – become suddenly worthwhile and better?
>Yeah! Why not? Why the fuck not.
“Fluttershy?”
>”Did… did you actually use my *name*?”
>Huh.
>Well.
>Now you know how to get a reaction out of her.
“Move.”
>”But –“
“Move, *please*. I wanna watch the ball drop.”
>”Um, Anon, aren’t you old enough that both –“
>She’s resisting.
>Luckily, you thought ahead.
>You reach between two sofa cushions and pull out a box of pocky.
“Fetch!”
>Heh.
>Little thing could probably set speed records.
>And that’s how you end up with a nice, clean view of your tv and the most meaningless event in the whole world.
>At least Christmas is supposed to about togetherness. Valentine’s is about chocolate and being alone. Halloween is for people to reminisce about better days and how everything has gone to shit because kids these days…
>But what about New Year’s?
>It’s just an excuse for the normies to get drunk and act stupid.
>”I agree,” Berry whispers, because you were talking out loud again. “Yes, you were, but you’re right.”
>She looks at Sam, snuggled under her makeshift blanket, then at Fluttershy, ravenously tearing at the box of pocky like a starving wolf.
>”What’s there to celebrate?”
“Nothing. This past year was shit.”
>”Every year is.”
“Drink to forget?”
>”Drink to forget,” she agrees, hold up a bottle of – fuck yes! – NOT sparkling champagne.
>>
>>29170724
Thanks a lot tgn. Life may suck, but you did bring some happiness to this old piece of crap.

This is the best way I could have hoped for my new year to start.
>>
>>29170724
>You pour for both of you, the little bubbles rising to escape the liquid like happiness from your lives.
>”Do you think that’s why they do this?” Berry asks, tilting her head towards the tv and the crowds singing and chanting around the world’s biggest, stripperless pole.
“I hope not.”

>The bottle is dead by the time the countdown begins, the last dregs settling in your glasses – and the majority in your stomachs.
>10!
>There’s a soft groan to your left.
>9!
>A blurry-eyed filly shaking her head.
>8!
>Woken by the chanting coming from the tv.
>7!
>”Whaaaa?”
>6!
>”Happy New Year, Samantha.”
>5!
“Happy New Year.”
>4!
>”Huh…? Oh.”
>3!
>”Oh, almost midnight.”
>2!
>”Are you going to kiss?”
>1!
>”That’s what you’re supposed to do, right?” the filly mumbles, shaking away a tired yawn. “Kiss at midnight? Isn’t it good luck or something?”
>HAPPY NEW YEAR!
>>
>>29170808
“Um…”
>Sam blinks, trying to clear her eyes and her mind.
>”I… guess?” Berry mumbles.
>The filly yawns again, her eyes finally focusing on the one and only bottle on the table. “Well?”
>You look askance at Berry.
>Kind of amazing that you can see her blush, considering how pink her coat is.
>Holy fucking shit. She’s actually thinking about it!
>You shouldn’t be surprised. Berry’ll do anything for that filly.
>Fuck it.
>If it makes her happy.
>It’s not at all like you thought.
>No irritating fuzz that makes you think you’re kissing another man.
>No awkwardly huge ponymouth enveloping your entire face.
>No tongue shoved down your throat, choking you to death.
>No struggling to get away and calling you a filthy rapist.
>Honestly, that might be the most surprising – and welcome – part.
>2013 really fucking sucked.
>And it’s not just shock stopping Berry from screaming for the police.
>A quick peck on the cheek wouldn’t be enough, so you put on a little show – purely for Sam’s sake.
>Berry immediately freezes up like an ice statue the instant your lips touch hers, but thaws after a moment, surprisingly demure and reserved.
>No tongue. No exaggerated pawing, embarrassing makeouts, or mouth wrestling.
>It’s just a kiss. A simple kiss.
>That’s all it is.
>One that lasts a while, but just a kiss.
>“Doesn’t count,” Sam yawns as your mouth parts from Berry’s. “It’s past midnight. You missed your chance.”
“If you say so.”

MAKE THEM CUDDLE DAMN YOU
>>
>>29170816
>You don’t think she heard you, not the way she’s sleepily stumblefalling off the chair, tangled in her blanketscarf.
>”I’m going to bed.”
>She shuffles off, scarf trailing behind her, oddly reminiscent of Flutterpet’s leash.
>Something about the sight keeps you watching until she’s turned the corner, until the tail end of is finally gone.
“Huh.”
>That’s… interesting.
“She doesn’t even think of that as your room anymore, does she? Does she actually think it’s hers?”
>A pony head falls against your chest.
>”I’m okay with that.”
“Really?”
>”It was never mine to begin with.”
“What, just because I… uh…”
>There’s something fundamentally wrong with telling your roommate that you own her, even if it is legally true.
>Being fundamentally wrong doesn’t usually stop you from saying things.
>That’s weird.
“Because its… *mine*?”
>Close enough.
>”No. That’s not why.”
>Um.
>Okay.
>Well.
>”I think… I think it was always hers.”
>Okaaaaaaaay.
>”… because…”
>She trails off, unwilling or unable to finish the thought out loud.
>Her head rises and falls with your every breath.
>There’s still a little bit of champagne left in your glasses.
>You manage to stretch forward and pick them up without dislodging best pony.
“Drink to forget?”
>She stares at the offered flute and lets out a sigh.
>”I think…”
>Large eyes dart towards yours, meeting them for a fraction of a second.

>There’s a gentle tapping at your door.
>It’s still dark outside. Hell, you haven’t had a chance to do much more than crawl under the sheets and close your eyes.
>”Anon…? Anoooooon? Why did you turn off the lights? Did you go to bed? Aren’t you and Berry coming back to finish your drinks? Anoooooooooon…”

Whoops, forgot to answer this last night. Sorry.
>mankind vs. Nightmare Moon
Undecided, but Elements probably acted to keep everyone safe.
Possibly with the thought that if they took care of the problem, then humans wouldn't be dicks about the whole thing.
>Equestria Strikes Back
Undecided, but there probably wasn't any large military activity. Terrorism and guerrilla tactics seem more likely.
>other places that got wasted
Canterlot was hit second, which is why there are refugees from there mixed in with the Ponyville natives. It wasn't completely destroyed, though.
Manehattan is untouched, not sure about Cloudsdale, but considering the Wonderbolts it was probably considered a military target.
Crystal Empire is fine.
>murdering civvies
I try my best to write each section from that character's POV, including their biases and beliefs.
A lot of bad things happening, but AB's memories are definitely skewed more towards "MURDERED ALL THE PONIES!" than reality.

>>29170915
Anon sure does have the best pony there.

I wish we could do something for berry.

Jesus christ.

The fuck did i do last night. And why has my beer supply dubbled. Also where did all these cuts and bruises come from?

My head hurts.

Well time to drink some more.
>>
>>29172441
Cuts and bruises, and memory loss, after New Years? Not uncommon.
MORE booze? Deeply odd.
Beer Fairy
>>
>>29172441
>>29172489
more booze is easily explainable
guests/host go on beer runs, overestimate need, double up on purchases
everyone's too drunk to make rational decisions and too drunk to drink what they purchased
everything ends up left at host's house
>>
>>29172230
What do you want to do for her?
Anon's not going to fuck the sadness out of her immediately, but due to the episodic nature of EiM, pretty much anything else can happen.
So...tell me where you want this to go.
Cuddles are tabled for one chapter, maybe two, but cuddly ideas can be used then.
