>With one blink you wake up as a dragon in Equestria!
>What do you look like?
>How did you get here?
>The circumstances could be just about anything, but one thing is certain.
>Things are going to be pretty different.


Here are some writing prompts:

>You've woken up in the middle of town with no idea how you got here, or why you're a dragon.
>Perhaps you've found yourself far from the borders of Ponyville, and are in Dragonlands.
>Maybe Discord has worked his special brand of magic on you!
>Or you may have even done this yourself!
>Do you roll with what’s happened?
>Are you going to try and reverse this?
>Is a good time with those egg laying hips more your focus?


>Let's see if you manage to settle in!
>Who knows what awaits you on your new adventure?
>It's your chance to make the best out of it!

On it, I could do with the feedback on character interaction anyway.
>Your eyes slowly blink their way open as you lay half asleep before letting out a yawn and wetting the inside of your mouth with your tongue.
>Drinking has its perks, but one of them certainly isn't dry mouth, that shit's uncomfortable as all hell.
>Man, this bed is fucking comfortable.
>If it weren't for your golden friend snoring her ass off next to you while cutting off circulation in your leg with her tail, you don't think you could be much more content right now.
>You glance over to your bed-buddy before giving her a light shake.
"Khoa wakey wakey rise and shine.."
>"Nnnf.. Mrrm.. Five more.. *yawn* minutes.. ~*"
>She tightens her tail around your leg and tries to put her arm over you.
>Oh no you fucking dont.
>You pluck her arm up off of you with two claws and drop it down on the bed, all the while with a scowl plastered across your face.
"Yeah, nah, that'll be enough of that. Khoa, wake the fuck up."
>"M...mmrr.. Noo.. Five m- WAH- AHR!"
>*THUD*
>That'll teach her for not getting up and making you your breakfast.
>You glance down at your companion sprawled out on the floor as she picks herself up rubbing her head.
>"What was that for you jerk!"
>You roll over out of bed yourself to begin routing through your wardrobe for something to wear.
"Toast, scrambled egg, now. Besides, I'm up, so you should be as well."
>Khoa just looks at you with an angry look on her face before picking herself up and stomping off downstairs while grumbling to herself.
>Cute.
>You have a giggle to yourself while you route through your wardrobe looking for something to wear that isn't completely fucked.
>There you go, this'll do nicely.
>You had fancy horse make you a few bits and pieces when you first got here, and this was one of them.
>A replica of a sex pistols "destroy" concert tshirt in black, couple of pulls and tears in it from your various weekend pub adventures.

>>29782040
>Imperfect, just how you like it, and.. Fuck, where are all of your fucking jeans?
"KHOA!"
>"What now?!"
"Jeans, where the fuck are they?"
>"I put them in the wash! You hadn't cleaned them since getting here!"
"Well, fuck."
>You dig further into the wardrobe, only to find the shredded remains of that dress that Discord stuck onto you a couple of months back.
>In its current state, it looks more like some sort of punk-chick's skirt.
"God fucking dammit Khoa.."
>You'll get her back for this.
>With no other option, you throw on your newly acquired skirt, and throw a couple of your studded leather belts around it to make it look a little less gay.
>One quick glance in the mirror before you head downstairs confirms that yep, sexy as fuck, as always.
>F I N G E R G U N S .
>Time to knock em' dead, champ.
>....
>You make your way out of the bedroom and jump to slide down the stair rail only to fall off of the side of the stairs and roll over onto your sofa with a crash, taking what was left of the banisters with you.
"What the fu- Oh, yeah, smashed em' with a bat, forgot about that"
>You dust yourself off, give your noggin' a shake and strut into the kitchen while in a relatively good mood.
"What's cookin' good lookin?"
>Khoa just shoots you an angry glance and a blush before it all melts away into hysterical laughter.
>"Daze.. *pfft*.. Dahahaha! What the heck are you wearing!"
"Yeah, yeah, get it all out."
>You shove her aside and empty the eggs she was cooking onto a plate and grab the toast in perfect timing as it springs out of your toaster before sitting at your table to dig in.
>mad skillz
>>
>>29782043
"At least I fucking wear clothes, unlike some people!"
>"Hey! You're the weird one here! Nobody else even wears clothes!"
"Not the fucking point, you're from Earth as well mate, what'd your mum think if she saw you walking around town all naked and shit? Slut."
>She just looks at you before scrunching up her nose and brow in a mix of anger and embarrassment.
>You just take another bite of your toast and smirk back at her shaking in anger at you.
>"Don't you dare call me a slut when you dress like that!"
>Like shooting fish in a barrel.
"Didn't hear you complaining last night about it, "Right there!" "Faster!" "Oh, Daze! Call me your b -"
>"OKAY! Enough! I get it! Gosh, mornings are always such a chore with you, you know that?"
"Hell yeah they are. Hey! This gives me an idea though. You got anything going on today?"
>"Uhhh... Not right now... Why?"
"Well, ya' do now, because we're gonna go to the big ass fancy horse city and get you some new totally kick-ass threads, on me!"
>"Ohhhh no. No way. You're not dressing me like mini-Daze, nah-ah, no way, nada, not happening."
"Oh please, get that stick out of your ass, we're going."
>You finish off your food before standing up and throwing the plate over your shoulder like a Frisbee causing it to smash into the sink.
>"Was there any point in that?"
*shrug*
[POV SHIFT TO KHOA]
>Fuck.
>Nope, not even going to sugarcoat this situation, just fuck.
>You are Khoa the golden dragon, and you're being dragged through town by your girlfriend towards the train station while she babbles on about how she's going to make you look "fuckin' rad" by taking you to Manehattan on a shopping trip.
>>
>>29782046
>You don't really care about stuff like this, even as a human, you never really considered yourself much of a fashion conscious type.
"Daze, slow down! This isn't necessary, really!"
>"Like fuck if it isnt. How the fuck do you expect to survive the winter? We're big lizards, know what that means? Cold blooded. You'll freeze to death."
"You're really rolling with that as your excuse for dragging me along for your dumb trip?"
>"I mean yeah, unless you have some better bullshit reason you want to share with me?"
>You just let out a sigh of defeat as you're dragged up onto the platform by your hand, all the while Daze beams with joy at the guy behind the ticket counter.
>God, that's creepy.
>You don't think you've ever seen her genuinely happy about anything before that didn't involve either fighting, alcohol, or fire.
>Maybe you can tolerate some of this trip for her sake.
>Besides, what's the worst that could happen? It's a shopping trip for the love of God. Maybe you're just overreacting again. You do worry too much..
[5 HOURS LATER]
>You are Daze
>Fucking hell, your back hurts thanks to these stupid fucking pony chairs on these stupid fucking pony trains.
>Why the fuck do they have to be so small, this is racism, you want a dragon train car.
>Fucking bullshit, you should put a claim in for back and neck injury.
>Just as your thought finishes sinking in, you can feel the train slowly creaking to a stop at it grinds along the rickety metal tracks below.
"Thank fuck for that, we're here."
>"You don't say Daze"
"Oh, c'mon, you still upset? I promise, this'll be fun. You need something to wear man, what if we ever go out somewhere? Fancy events and all that shit? Can't wear your armour for that."
>You knock on your own head with a fist to emphasise your point as you lead the way out of the train with your partner in crime trailing along behind you.
>>
>>29782049
>You don't get why she's so wound up about this, she always fucking moans about you not doing anything nice for her, and you've brought her on a shopping trip to Manehattan of all places, and according to fancy white horse, this place is the fucking fashion district of Equestria aside from Canterlot.
>Fucking women.
>Daze, you're a woma-
>Fuck off brain, not right now.
>As the two of you walk through the crowded station, you hear her calling out behind you in the distance.
>You glance over your shoulder to see her stood outside of the train car getting hustled and bustled back and forth between ponies as she tries to edge her way forward through the crowd.
>"Daze! Wait up! H-hey, sorry, excuse me, coming through!"
>You let out a frustrated exhale through your nose before turning back around and shoving your way through the crowd to get her.
>She can't do the "o-oh! e-excuse me!" bullshit, especially not in a city like this, people don't have time for that shit.
>?: "HEY!"
>?: "Ow!"
>?: "You stepped on my hoof!"
>?: "HEY! Watch where you're walkin-"
"Fucking do something about it then cunt."
>?: "..."
>You flick the worried looking horse on his snout as he just stands there with a flustered look staring back at you.
"Yeah, that's what I fucking thought, now fuck off. C'mon Khoa.
>The pair of you shove your way through the crowd all the while Khoa is apologising to everyone you shove past.
>Give me strength Zeus.
>As you both finally step out of the station, you find yourself in an upper-class end of a city that looks reminiscent of New York.
>The buildings seem to go on forever, and you can't see any sky on the horizon.
>God, you love this shit, reminds you of back home. Even if you're not a fucking yank, you can appreciate the impersonal vibe of this place. Nobody gives a fuck what you're doing, nobody is in your business, they're all too wrapped up in their own bullshit.
>>
>>29782050
>Don't have such luxuries like that back in Ponyville, especially with royalty living on your doorstep.
"Right! Let's see, where to first. Oh! How about the Coltchi store, or Hoofsengross? Rara says they're good or some shit, some of the best designers in town? Get you a vest, or a tshirt, or a -"
[POV SWITCH TO KHOA]
>You are Khoa.
>Today is going to be a long one.
>Judging from what little of the sun you can see in the sky from the tall buildings all around you, you make that it's about 4 in the afternoon.
>You just stare at your companion as she lists off a whole bunch of designer brands that you've never heard of before.
>Despite how crazy it is that you woke up this morning without any plans of heading to the city, the biggest thing to shock you is Daze's surprisingly broad knowledge on fashion.
>With the way pony society is, there's very few bargain basement tier places when it comes to buying clothes, as the only ponies that wear them are either stinking rich, require them for work, or are attending formal occasions.
>You've never really given it much thought until now, but does Daze consider herself /well dressed/? Maybe it's some weird fashion thing you're not aware of where she intentionally dresses the way she does despite knowing it's ghastly, kinda' like punks did back in the 1970's.
>Mental note: Ask her about this when you don't plan on torturing her.
>"Oh! Oh! Oh! I know just where to go. They'll definitely have something you'll like."
>As you're dragged along (again) by your overexcited girlfriend, you decide to mess with her a bit, this'll teach her for pushing you out of bed and dragging you to a fucking city without any in-depth planning.
"Daze! Jesus! You're acting like such a woman. Since when were you interested in clothes and fashion? Are you feeling okay?"
>"H-hey! J-just because I like clothes doesn't mean shit, take that back!"
"Struck a nerve have we? Nope, not taking anything back."

you were working on that fingergun's aren't you?
>>
>>29782056
>"Whatever, it doesn't matter worth a fuck anyway, we both know you're the submissive one, do you need me to remind you again? "Oh Da-"
"You already did that line this morning."
>"Fucking hell, you're no fun. Hey, anyway, we can carry on our lovers tiff later, because look, we're here."
>You were way too caught up in your conversation with Daze to notice the building the two of you just walked up to.
>Wow, just.. Wow.
>Before you is a dark coloured skyscraper that stretches into the air like an imposing monolith, with a seemingly none existent lobby, and instead, in its place, a colossal store decked out in gold with "COLTCHI" sitting in bold golden letters above the door.
"Wow, and you thought that carousel boutique was gaudy."
>"Christ Khoa, you're meant to be the smart one. Don't you have any taste? You do know where we are, right?"
"Some big ugly store in Manehattan?"
>"Not just any big ugly store in Manehattan my dear Khoa!"
>She kneels to get down to your level and puts her arm around your shoulder to pull you in close. Before outstretching her arm to emphasise the vast size of the store in front of us.
>"A big ugly store full of fucking Coltchi!"
>Wait.. Coltchi.. Gucci?
>Where was the Gucci store in New York again?
>Can't put your finger o-
"You brought me to fucking Trump Tower Daze?"
>"Yup, now come the fuck on, let's get in there and get you something to wear."
>For the love of..
>?: "Ms. Daze! How good to see you again!"
>What the fuck?
>"Now then Glitter, how goes it?"
>Glitter: "Things are well my dear! It has been quite some time since I saw you last however, we must catch up! Are you here to see our latest collection or are you hear to dress your rather bare looking friend here?"
>>
>>29781952
Why? It was bad enough the first time.
>>
>>29782060
>The cream coated pony who who was just talking to Daze turns to you with a raised brow, as she flicks her straightened black hair aside, causing you return to her an equally as puzzled look before you turn to Daze with a smirk.
"Been here before Daze?"
>"Not a fucking word Khoa, and Glitter, nah, not me this time, my uh.. "Friend" here seems to think it's socially acceptable walking around in the clam constantly, treat her right, yeah?"
>Glitter: "Of course, of course! Now, what are we going to be doing with you? A dress? Or more the casual type?"
"Actually I'm more the casua-"
>Before you can even finish your sentence, you're surrounded by a cloud of tape measures, pins, and fabrics of every colour imaginable floating around you like a vortex.
>Glitter: "Casual! Excellent! Well, Daze has an excellent eye for that rugged punk look, perhaps something along those lines would work well for you too, yes?"
>You fucking knew it, she dresses like that on purpose!
"N-no, I mean, maybe just like a hoodie or something like that? I really lik-"
>"Khoa, just listen to Glitter, she knows what you want, trust me on this."
"No, but I.."
>Glitter: "Or maybe you'd look better with a more feminine look? You certainly have the body for it.."
>She wraps a tape around your waist with a bit too much invasiveness as Daze chimes in.
>"Ey, what about a light gray and white dazzle camo vest, a short skirt, because *unf* and.. Glitter, you can make boots, right?"
>Glitter: "Why, of course! You have such an eye for these things my darling, it would look simply marvellous on her!"
>While all of this chaos is going on, between you getting pulled back and forth, Daze making a camera lens with her fingers, and a whole manner of junk flying around you, you try to get your word out but neither of them are listening.
>>29782057
You bet.
>>
>>29782066
>Fuck this, you thought she'd at least consider what you wanted if she was dragging you along for this, you're not some fashion project for her or her stupid upper-class jerk friend.
"Enough!"
>They both just stare at you blankly while you have material wrapped around you, and a whole bunch of other shit drops to the floor as Glitter turns off her magic bullshit.
>You're so done here.
"I thought you were trying to do something /for me/ Daze, you're inconsiderate as hell, and I'm SICK of it!"
>"Hey, who the fuc-"
>You jab her in the chest with your finger.
"No Daze, who the fuck do you think /you/ are talking to."
>She just stares back at you with a blank look on her face before snapping back to the situation and sneering her teeth at you and growling.
>"Know what, fuck it. I'm out."
>And with that, she shoves past you and heads out of the store while Glitter just looks at you sheepishly.
>You tear off what's left of all of this stupid shit she's wrapped you up in and head out of the store yourself in the opposite direction of Daze.
>Fuck her, you shouldn't have come on this trip to start with, and she knows how she grinds on you under these kinds of situations.
[POV SHIFT TO DAZE]
"FUCK!"
>You kick a can into a wall causing it to bounce off like it's made of rubber and hit you in the head.
>Fucking stupid cartoon physics.
>Fucking stupid Khoa.
"CUNT!"
*CRK*
"TWAT!"
*CRK*
"SHIT!"
*KICK*
>After a good 30 seconds of smashing that can into the ground, you continue your walk down the street making sure to look as intimidating as is possible to avoid anyone from thinking it's a wise idea to fuck with you right now.
>>29782065
Because the thread needs bumping, and a lot of people missed it the first time. Like I said last thread dude, if you have suggestions for improvement, let me know. I'm open to that sort of stuff.
>>
>>29782079
>Luckily, it doesn't take much effort. Even if you are wearing a skirt, you are also a dragon, and nobody fucks with dragons.
>This body does have its perks sometimes, you'll give it that.
>It's not your fault that Khoa doesn't get fashion, she should have just listened to you and Glitter.
>Sure, Glitter is a massive pretentious cunt, but she runs the fucking Coltchi store, she knows what she's talking about, and she's never set you wrong so far.
>You let out a sigh as you continue down the street until you reach the dingiest looking shithole bar you can find.
>Ever since money moved into this part of town, it's become difficult to find somewhere that isn't full of fucking student horses and hipsters.
>"Jax Bar" looks promising, guy spells his name with an X, so you know he must be a weird motherfucker.
>You head on in and sit your ass down to prepare for a solid drinking session at the poorly lit bar where a roughed up steroid junkie looking Minotaur stands waiting to serve you.
>Place is fucking dead aside from you here, so the poor cunt could probably use the business.
>Minotaur: "What'll it be"
"Lager. Actually, make that two."
>Minotaur: "You're the boss."
"Fucking A right I am."
>You down your first pint while fucking roid rage here behind the bar pulls your second.
>Minotaur: "So, what brings you around here anyway? Don't think I've seen you before. Don't get an awful lot' none-locals around here."
"Original idea was shopping with our lass, but it turned into a fucking blood bath, naturally. Fucking women mate."
>The big burly cunt just looks at you with a shocked expression.
"To answer it before you ask it, yes, lesbians. Technically. It's fucking complicated."
>The guy just lets out a laugh while shaking his head at you.
>Minotaur: "I'm sure it is. Name's Jax."
>He reaches out a hand for you to shake.
"Daze."
>... [2 HOURS... AND 3 PINTS LATER]
>You've been shooting the shit for the past couple of hours with your newfound friend.
>>
>>29782082
>Guy's pretty cool, all "muh gainz" shit aside.
>You've just spent the past 30 minutes giving him the quick rundown on todays events to bring him up to speed with why you're hanging out in his shithole bar.
>He finds your mental as fuck stories of Earth quite entertaining, and you find his stories of his life beating the shit out of his patrons with "the problem solver" (his handy cricket bat) equally as funny, so you got on like a house on fire with the fightin' talk.
>Jax: "You know, you could just apologise, I kind of see where the girl is coming from in her defence."
"Mate, c'mon, you're supposed to be on my side. It's not my fucking fault she went off on one."
>Jax: "It kind of is though, you can't fucking talk to women like that you idiot."
"Why the fuck not?"
>He stares at you before pointing in your face.
>Jax: "Because when you do, that's when shit like this happens. I get you're young, and incredibly stupid, but just think about what I've said."
"Ehh, whatever you say. I'm out anyway man. Might catch your ugly ass next time I'm in these parts."
>And with that, you plop down off of your bar stool and start your trudge towards the door.
>Jax: "Remember! Take my advice, you numb-skull!"
>Yeah, yeah, whatever.
>You wave over your shoulder and head out into the cold of the city, cutting off the end of his sentence with the closure of his own door.
>You look around as you step out of the bar and notice that it's gotten considerably quieter, and quite a bit dimmer since you first stormed your ass down here earlier today.
>Maybe roidy was right, you were a little rough with her earlier.
>With a sigh of defeat, you decide that it's time you headed back to the station to find her. It's always been an unwritten rule between the two of you to meet back where you started, so that's as good of a place to start as any when looking for her.
>You do have to make one stop first though.
[MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD]
>You are Khoa.
>>
>>29782094
>You're still angry about Daze treating you like shit earlier, but what the hell did you expect. It's Daze.
>She doesn't grasp things like a normal person, she is British after all.
>You've just spent the past two hours sat in this cosy little coffee-shop type thing in the student district watching all of the ponies go about their day to day city lives while you sit and sip on some hot coco from the sidelines.
>You half regret dropping out back on Earth, that could have been you if you stuck it out.
>You let out a deep sigh.
>Great, now you feel even worse than you did when you first got here, and you've ruined your new comfy place.
>Fuck.
>Oh well, it looks like it's getting late anyway, may as well head back to the station, go home, read some smut in the tub, and forget today ever happened.
>You hop to your feet and make your way outside to be hit by the cold evening air of the city causing you to shiver.
>Maybe Daze wasn't entirely wrong in her reasoning, you are fucking freezing, and after spending your time in a quaint little town like Ponyville, you've forgotten just how chilly these cities can get after hours.
>So not only are you in a bad mood, now you have to admit (to yourself at least) that Daze was at least part right, and now you're freezing your butt off.
>Today has sucked.
>....
>By the time you reach the station, you can see a wobbly legged and groggy looking dragoness standing outside the main arches propping herself up against the wall, presumably waiting for you with a Coltchi bag in her claws.
>She doesn't look too great. Probably spent most of the day in a bar like she does every time the two of you have a fight.
"You ready to go home Daze?"
>"Huh? Oh.. Yeah, sure.."
>With that, she starts to shakily walk her way through the station with you in tow just like the two of you did this morning, the only difference this time being that there's hardly anyone around to stop the pair of you in your tracks.
>>
>>29782099
>Luckily for you, the train is on time, so you won't have to deal with making small talk, she's probably going to just pass out and fall asleep as soon as you board anyway.
>Daze unlatches the door of the train, and climbs aboard while you follow along behind her before throwing herself down across the first two chairs she sees and gets herself comfortable.
>Despite not being in the best of moods with her, you slip into the seat opposite her and stare out of the window while waiting for the train to set off. It'll be good to get home.
>.. *chk chk*... *chk chk*
>"Mrmhph"
>It's about 9pm now, and it's dark out.
>You've just glanced over at Daze to see her murmuring in her sleep about whatever you assume has pissed her off in her dream.
>Oh, wait, that's what she's murmuring about, she dropped her bag.
>You scoot up to the edge of your seat and pick it up to hand it back to her to hold while she's in dream land.
>Wonder what she bought anyway.
>Couldn't hurt to take a look.
>You pop open the seal on the top of the bag and notice.. A gift-wrapped box?
>Wonder who this is for.
>You slide it out of the thick paper bag to get a better look, and notice that it's addressed.. To you..?
>Huh.. Odd.
>>

>Under normal circumstances, you'd put it the fuck back, but hey, it IS yours, and she HAS given you a lot of shit today.
>You use your claws to carefully remove the Coltchi branded wrapping paper and find another box inside with a message written onto the front of it.
>"Sorry for being a massive cunt. I know that you went to university back home, but you know that I have shit memory, so I took a wild stab in the dark at which one it might have been. - Daze"
>You can't wait any longer, so you opt to flip open the lid of the box open and take a peak inside.
>You're met with a deep red oversized fabric with "HARVARD" stitched across the front in layered black on white fabric.
>Pulling it out of the box, you come to realise that it's an oversized hoodie that Daze almost definitely modelled off of herself for the sizing.
>The corners of your mouth perk up into a little smile as you look over to her sleeping with your own lidded eyes and pull your new article of clothing over your head before scooching up next to her on her makeshift bench bed to get into the little spoon position with your hood up.
>She's not always the worst, and when she isn't, it always reminds you of why you still stick by her.

Constructive criticism is best criticism. I wrote this mainly to experiment with big POV shifts and general character interaction (more specifically, I wanted to see how I write Khoa for future reference,) so yeah, feedback appreciated.

Thought not as bad as the first, you'd still want to rework it a bit.

Thanks Anon, I've been trying to figure out a way of writing pov-shifts in a more subtle way, but I just can't nail it down. Those [ ]'s were originally going to be temporary, but I thought "fuck it," when I couldn't figure out a better way of writing it.

The real question is, who even can transform into a dragon???
NOBODY!
Your entire disgustinge fetish is a joke, is not even possible. People are people. Dragons are dragons. Pone are Poneis.

Lets all be sensible human being and leave it that way!

Dont want to get carried away after all... could be berry danger.

>>29782386
I not from this site, I'm wandering soul, helping people in need. People call me Wanderer.

>>29782387
Why you like dark shadows. They not healthy in long term? Come out into light, dark is not healthy.
>>
>>29782421
It's too late for me, son. The light would only blind me. These shadows are like cigarettes: they may not be good for you, but they give you what you need

>>29782497
Like all habits, this can be broken, my friend.
It never too late to step into light. Though Light may blind you, its warmth will comfort you. Remember not to stare directly into sun.
That being, most thing can okay in moderation.

>But he hasn't.
>He most certainly has not disappeared.
>Unless some zealot named their child after him, there's no way.
>Twilight takes note of your distress.
>TS: “Hey, you look like you've seen a ghost or something.”
>Been stalked by one more like.
K: “I… I… I need to talk to Celestia, like, now.”
>TS: “What? About Asmod? I'm sure she knows more about him, but she's far too busy to give a history lesson.”
K: “That's just it, this might not be history! Something… something is wrong here…”
>Twilight frowns, not sure what to do.
K: “This is really important, trust me.”
>With a sigh she gets up.
>TS: “If she's busy right now, we leave, got it?”
>You nod, heading out.
>Turns out, she wasn't busy.
>Twilight opted to wait outside as you walk in nervously.
>Time for answers hopefully.

>And this may be your first clear answer.

>C: “You are the dragon who helped solve that murder recently, yes?”
>You nod, bowing your body a little just to be safe.
>C: “Well, thank you very much for that. I’m glad to have someone with your skills helping keep the peace.”
>It really didn’t take much “skill” to do, but it’s not the time to worry about that.
K: “This uh, actually does have something to do with that… Your Highness…”
>C: “Oh?”
K: “The murderer, he initially tried to pin the murder on me. He mentioned that… somebody would get what they wanted in the end. That somebody, I think you know them… Asmod.”
>If Celestia had a distinct reaction to the name, she hides it very well, you don’t even notice her face flash with any emotion.
>C: “Are you sure that is what they said?”
K: “Absolutely. But to my understanding, you… got rid of them?”
>C: “Years ago, yes. It was not too long after they published their last work. They had come to me, threatening my kingdom. So, I took action.”
K: “What did you do?”
>C: “I sent them away, to a place where he could never harm anypony in Equestria.”
K: “Where did you take them? Because I am certain they got back.”
>You have to keep your voice down, trying to hide a slight and growing irritation in your voice.
>C: “To some pocket reality, a world where it is him and only him. A place without ponies to harm. A place where his mad ravings can echo on forever.”
>A cruel, absolute punishment, but you know for a fact it isn’t nearly as absolute as one may think.
K: “I mean no offense, but I will be looking into the possibility of him being here.”
>C: “As you should if it will help you feel at ease. Just know that I am positive that when I sent him away, that he would not be able to get into Equestria. Nothing should have changed.”

>You head out, your head swimming with questions and possibilities.
>Twilight looks over at you, expecting some sort of update on the situation.
>But you don’t really have one to give.
K: “Hey, I’ve got some thinking to do, I’ll see you around…”
>There’s no hiding the exasperation in your voice, just as Twilight can’t hide the worry on her face.
>She’s a good friend, too good of a friend right now.
>Don’t let her rope you into talking this over with her, just don’t.
>Right now you don’t walk to talk about anything until you have something solid.
>And you know exactly where to get that from.
>It’s to the dungeons you go, to the very cell Spike had been thrown in when they thought he was the murderer.
>A different dragon sits there now.
>Sk: “Wh-what do you want? To g-gloat?”
K: “Cut it out, I need to talk with you.”
>The shifty little dragon looks at you, studying you.
>Sk: “You sound s-serious.”
K: “I am very serious right now, and I need your assistance.”
>They sit up, officially interested in what you’re talking about.
K: “You mentioned Asmod when I took you in, is this /the/ Asmod?”
>Skip laughs at your question, a genuine, hearty laugh.
>Sk: “He s-said you’d learn about h-him sooner or later, I suppose it’s s-sooner!”
>You lean in close, bile rising up in your throat.
K: “Who is he then? What’s he got to do with me?”
>Sk: “He is the g-great Asmod Inkclaw, and h-he’s going to purge the world!”
K: “What does that have to do with me?!”
>Sk: “Think l-long and hard about it and f-figure it out yourself /h-human/!”
>The shock on your face is palpable, and it sends Skip into a loud, uproarious laughter that echoes through the dingy dungeon.

>Fluttershy and you carry out your dastardly plot and over tip the waitress.
>Then, her and you wait by the door to watch the events unfold.
>Sure enough, the waitress discovers her generous tip and makes her way over to her co-workers excitedly.
>The look of envy on their faces is priceless.
>You lean down and whisper to Fluttershy next to you.
"Now everyone will know what good tippers we are! All of the other uptight snobs will look poor in comparison, their images will be ruined!"
>If being an American taught you one thing, it's that reckless spending makes you superior!
>Fluttershy starts giggling again.
>F: "This is kinda fun!"
>You walk Fluttershy home, continuing some of the conversations you had at the restaurant before you decided to fuck with her.
>When you get to her cottage, Discord is nowhere to be seen.
>It strikes you as odd seeing as how it's sun down, and people usually settle down for the day.
>Fluttershy reminds you that nothing about him is 'usual,' and that he sometimes goes out to do got knows what.
>Oh well, less awkwardness for you. Although, you do need to have a talk with him about all of this soon. He's still your friend, he's just a fuckin' liar, that's all...

>It will most likely be bitch black by the time you get back to the castle.
>It's pretty hard telling time here. Wrist watches seem to be a luxury, so making a walk like you are now is pretty hard without one.
>The sun has just sank below the horizon, and it's quite the sight.
>Sunsets look very different here because of the lack of aerosols that we're very present on Earth.
>During your journey you walk past a carrot farm, it's a cozy looking place.
>A bit up the road though, you begin hearing hoof steps running ahead of you, and the scream of a mare.
>Hey, it's that pony who runs the carrot patch. What was her name again...?
>Your thought process is interrupted as she runs across the road screaming.
>You stand frozen and dumbfounded as a strange creature gives chase behind her.
>It...it looks like a fucking rat, but it's got spider legs...and bat wings!
>You don't remember seeing those fuckers in the show, what kinda bullshit is this?!
>The pony's screams fade as she runs further away.
>The strange amalgamation stops halfway across the road and turns to face you.
>Its rat face opens its mouth to hiss at you, revealing snake-like fangs.
>As soon as the encounter began, it ended, as the creature resumed its pursuit promptly after its gesture.
>Your face has no emotion as you watch the thing skitter off into the distance.
"...what the fuck."
>You don't know /what/ to make of that.
>Should...should you go help?
>All of the sudden you hear a deep chortling...Discord.
>You march over to a set of bushes and part the branches to reveal his lab coat covered form hiding inside and laughing.
"Don't you have anything better to do than make half-spider fuckers?"
>Discord opens an eye at you, and tries to calm himself down.

>But now that you and the girls got your cutie marks, things aren't the same.
>You gonaround helping other blank flanks and what not, but what happens when you get a shortage of people to help?
>Boredom, that's what happens. Luckily, Granny Smith told you about a game she used to play with her friends when she was your age!

>Small bolts of lightning crack around the area, and you can feel a pressure.
>You and the girls sit frozen in awe as a figure steps out from the distortion, seemingly from nowhere.
>Before you stands a dragon with blue scales and golden spikes. His horns come out of his forehead and slick back along his head, with one of the points being broken off.
>His face and arms are full of battle scars, and his eyes appear milky and white as if he's blind.
>You can't see his body that well, for he wears a black cape around his shoulders that hides most of his form.
>In his claws he holds a cane with a dragon skull on the end.
>Sc: "I-it's a dragon!"
>The dragon's head quickly turns in your direction. Though he faces you, his eyes stare over your heads into the distance.

>You are the Wanderer, protector of innocents, fighter of evil shadow, a being of five dimensions crawling through the violent maelstrom seeking deliverance.
>And these...ponies, they call you dragon.

Just had this idea earlier and I thought I'd write it to see what you lot reckon. Let me know what you think.

>Your name is Alice, or at least it used to be anyway.
>You're currently trudging through thick mud, rotting bark, and a whole bunch of other nasties that have a simply horrible habit of caking themselves to your cloak in a foul smelling stew of Earth and stagnant water.
>It seems like the further you walk, the deeper up to your waist in this crap you seem to get as your clawed feet sink into sludge-like the swamp-bed.
>With a sigh, you stop in your tracks and look around your immediate vicinity for something to yank yourself up and out with, you're getting absolutely nowhere at this pace, and all you've succeeded in doing so far is making yourself smell bad.
>As luck should have it, there appears to be just the thing your looking for. A low hanging branch covered in thick vines, and it looks like it might be just sturdy enough to hold your weight.
>After a short wade through the murky depths, you reach up to the vines that are hanging down to you, and proceed to wrap one around your wrist for insurance, and a further around your upper arm for stability.
>With a huge amount of help from your powerful legs, and clawed hands, you manage to scrape and scale your way up out of the bog and into the first layer of the dense vegetation that surrounds you.
>You let out a sigh as you disrobe your brown patched up cloak to observe the damage and filth it is no doubt ruined by.
>>
>>29786800
>Looking over it, things don't look /too/ bad in all honesty. Couple of smaller tears at the bottom hem, a few raggy edges, but as a whole, it's not bad. Mainly just filthy.
>It took you forever to find this thing, and it's seen you through some tough times in the past few months.
>You can't really afford to lose it, if not for the shelter and protection it provides from the harsh weather and local fauna, but mainly to avert the eyes of any wandering folk who may or may not be passing through these parts.
>You rarely encounter any members of humanity these days, y'know.. Since "it" happened, but it /can/ happen, and that's enough for you to want to keep as many eyes off of you as is possible.
>Humanity don't take too well to big dark green upright walking lizards with spines and all that jazz it seems, and you can't say you really blame them. It probably would have weirded you out as well once upon a time.
>It especially tends to freaks them out when you start to speak in fluent English.
>You begin to shake off as much of the goopy mess as is possible from your cloak before you begin carefully hanging it over your new perch within the reaches of the sunlight in order to let it dry off.
>You've learned that doing this is the most effective way to clean this sort of stuff out of your clothing items, as it tends to flake off much easier when dry than it does when wet.
>>
>>29786808
>Ah well, may as well catch a breather before pressing on. It's not like you can get very far without your cloak anyway. It's not worth the risk.
>With that, you decide to remove your rucksack as well, and hang it from an outstretched branch off to the side where it shouldn't come to any harm from the potential nearby wildlife.
>As you release the death-grip your tail has around the branch below, you lay on your belly and stretch out across the branch with your legs and arms dangling down each side of you.
>As uncomfortable as this may sound, you've found it to be the most effective way of keeping yourself warm when the sunlight is beaming down onto your form from the canopy up above.
>With a few final pops of your joints, you go limp and half lid your eyes as you begin to relax and think back to how you ended up in this situation to begin with.
>You never would have believed something like this could happen unless you'd experienced it first-hand, but here you are.

Continue? (Won't be until tomorrow probably)
>>
>>29786816
Yes. Continue. Plz.
>>
>>29782711
>Your whole body is numb as you slowly trudge back home.
>What other kind of reaction could you have to this besides overwhelming numbness?
>Asmod has been a bundle of surprises tonight, but the “human” bit has really thrown you off.
>How the hell does that little shit know anything about humans, let alone that you were one?
>Once back in your house, you flop on your bed, face first.
>That hopeless feeling is welling up again, and you don’t know how to fight it right now.
>It’s gotten dark outside, and you aren’t in the mood to keep reading.
>All you can do is hope for a better tomorrow.
>Yeah, that’s it, you can take a day off tomorrow, and just… do something.
>And while you’re sitting around, Asmod can keep on working on what he’s planning.
>You don’t have time to take a day off, not right now.
>But then again, where do you go from here…?
K: “Fuuuuuuck!”
>You have no clue what to do about any of this.
>Who would?
>Celestia, but she’s not very talkative about it.
>Skip, but he’s having too much fun watching you suffer.
>Asmod, but that’s obviously not an option.
>Discord?
>Well… actually he might be worth talking with.
>But he only comes and talks when he wants to talk.
>Sighing, you have a feeling you won’t be seeing him until the party in a few days.
>At least you know for a fact he’s going to be there for his precious Fluttershy.
>So… time to play the waiting game after all.
>>
>>29787230
>You wish you could say that in the couple days leading up to the party that you had some big revelation about yourself or the case.
>But no such luck, shit like that doesn’t just happen over the course of a couple days.
>So you’ve been sitting around, trying to keep yourself together, waiting for your chance to actually talk with Discord.
>It could have gone worse, you managed to raise your spirits a little, but you’d have preferred a more immediate talk with Discord to lessen your nerves.
>Hopefully you’ll be able to squeeze out some from him today.
>Even if means prying him away from either talking with Fluttershy or playfully terrorizing as many ponies as he can without being noticed.
>Walking outside to get some breakfast this morning, you noticed something on your front step, a package.
>Curious, you brought it back in, reading the note.
>”Darling, I just know you don’t have anything proper to wear to this party, good thing I kept your measurements! Consider it a gift! -Rairity”
>This should be interesting.
>Opening up the box, you see a simple red dress.
>It’s a pretty little number, well made too.
>You can’t help but blush at your favorable thoughts toward it, or at the desire to wear it.
>Still kind of hard to believe you’re a female, but in times like this, it feels all too obvious.
>Not that you mind, it’s just weird how much of a girly girl you can be.
>As you stand there, you hear a knock on your door.
>Wait, when was Spike going to come over again?
>Dammit, you promised you’d be all ready to go when he got here, but you didn’t expect him to come around breakfast time!
>You look over at your clock, noticing how it’s… a little before noon.
>Okay, so you slept in, fucking great.
>>
>>29787237
>Rushing to your bathroom, you start putting the dress on.
>Fits perfectly, but then again, what did you expect from Rarity's handywork.
>Thankfully you get it on without a hitch, snag, or tear, and look in the mirror.
>Well damn.
>Despite your small frame, there’s no denying you’ve got a decent body.
>And Rarity had no trouble in making sure your dress showed that off.
>It’s no flowing gown or loose dress, it’s form fitting and proud of it, while still not feeling tight and constricting.
>You’re just hoping you don’t give Spike a boner or something.
>The thought wrestles a genuine little chuckle out of you.
>Despite the recent shitty turn of events, it’s good to know that you’re going to be in a decent mental state for the party.
>Once you’ve finished gawking at your dress, you go out to greet Spike.
>He’s standing there, an eager smile on his face.
>Twilight apparently got him into a little bow-tie and everything.
>S: “Hi Khoa! You look good!”
>You study his face for any sign of arousal, but find none.
>What is he, gay or something?
>Wait, you don’t want him to be attracted in the first place!
>Maybe Discord was right about the sexual hunger of youth…
>That or you’re a girl who wants to know she’s pretty.
>Really between a rock and a hard place with this one…
>You can't tell which is worse!

>>29786816
I'm intrigued, continue.

>D: "Quite the opposite, actually. I'm very proud of you for coming up with such a plan!"
>His eyes well up with tears.
>D: "They learn so fast..."
>Your confusion only grows as he puts on his little show of pride.
"...But you were all sad..."
>D: "Don't get me wrong, you had leverage over me, but I'm far too excited at your plot against me to be upset."
>You cross your arms and arrow your eyes at him.
"You know, I can still go back to the cottage. I just might if you don't start making sense..."
>Discord's eyes widen and he finally gets up out of the bush.
>D: "Alright alright, take it easy! I acted sad to try and get you to stop, but you kept on grilling me like a champ. you don't have to have pretty eyes and seductive hips to manipulate people, you know."
>His lab coat disappears and he shifts into a female version of himself.
>D: "Maybe I should try it sometime though. Who knows, maybe I would've succeeded in manipulating you if I had showed up like this..."
>You scoff and begin walking back toward the road.
"You're fucking insane, you know that?"
>Discord's female voice calls after you, causing you to shutter.
>D: "Oh, I forgot to tell you! Rarity wanted to see you about that /lovely/ dress!"
>>
>>29791044
>You just keep walking.
>You'll have to go visit her tomorrow, her store probably isn't even open right now.
>You'll need to stop by when it is, because you have a good idea...
>Rarity seems all too happy to help you out with your clothes situation, and you're happy to accommodate.
>If there's one thing your recent adventure to the Crystal Empire has taught you, it's that dresses are great, but they aren't great for every occasion.
>You think back to the book that Rarity let you borrow.
>You could look through that and get yourself some armor made!
>You could think small and get some regular clothes...but fuck that, this is a new life in some bullshit fantasy world! You're gonna get some armor!
>Granted, you don't think Rarity is a blacksmith, but she isn't a jeweler either. She never had problems with diamond encrusted ensembles, she shouldn't have trouble with metal...
>What about leather? You doubt they have leather here, that's kind of...wrong?
>You'll just have to wait until you start reading that book, then you'll find out what your options are.
>You can't wait to get home!
>Home...this /is/ home now isn't it?
>By now you've entered town, and you can see the castle in the distance.
>The castle reflects the light from every lamp that shines upon it, it's like a god damn disco ball.
>You can't imagine Twilight's neighbors are happy about having a laser light show outside of their windows every night now...
>You walk up the steps and open the big ass doors yourself, you're not going to knock and wake up everyone in the castle.
>The doors open without much of a sound, must be nice having a /new/ castle.
>The little lobby on the inside is dimly lit by wall mounted torches. It's completely empty otherwise.
>You'll never understand her situation with guards, why sometimes she has them and sometimes not...
>You go to push the big doors close but just as you go to, Spike jumps out from behind one of them.
>S: "Hey Tonic!"
>>
>>29791634
>You let out a shriek as you jump back and bright blue flames burst out of your mouth involuntarily, bathing the room in a bright light for a few seconds.
>You land on your back and stare up at the ceiling as you piece together what the hell just happened.
"Spike...why does everyone make it their mission to give me a heart attack...?"
>You watch the light from the torches cast dancing shadows in the ceiling as you wait for his response, but it doesn't come.
>You lift your head up to see him, and he's staring at you nervously.
>Looks like when you fell and sprawled out on the floor, the bottom of your dress was lifted.
"Hey...up here!"
>His eyes meet with yours, and he finally re-enters the world.
>S: "W-what?"
"What the hell are you doing?"
>He looks down at his feet in embarrassment.
>S: "Being spontaneous. I heard that girls like that..."
>You stand up, fix your dress and dust yourself off.
"We'll try again, ladies don't exactly like being /ambushed/."
>S: "Well, I was sorta wondering..."
>You stand there panting from your near cardiac arrest with a dead look on your face as you watch him stumble over his words.
>'Come on...out with it, already.'
>It's actually quite adorable, but you've about /had it/ with this jump scare shit. It's like the universe just loves to taunt you about your previous demise.
"You should really write a script for yourself, Spike..."
>His face gets even redder, and he finally finds his voice.
>S: "I still owe you a date! We were going to go try some gems before the Crystal Empire, remember?"
>Oh yeah, that's right, you were going to force him to take you on a date...to eat rocks.
"Hey, you remembered me, how sweet. We can go tomorrow sometime!"
>You walk past him and slap him on the arm.
>Before you enter the hallway, you look back to see him rubbing his arm and smiling to himself.
"Hey...quit scaring the shit outa me."
>S: "...yes ma'am."

Hoping to get an update out to the above story with the dragon called Alice at some stage tonight. Won't be a long one, but stay tuned. Mainly just characterbuilding and worldbuilding right now.

Feedback and recommendations for things to include are welcomed as we go along.

>>29787242
>The two of you head out shortly thereafter.
K: “So, when should we head over to the party?”
>S: “Whenever really, Pinkie worked all through the night, and everything is all set up.”
>What?!
>Based on the plans you heard, this is a massive party, and she’s already set up?
K: “H-how?”
>S: “Twilight says that there are some things that no amount of research or magic could ever explain, I think this fits that.”
>You honestly can’t argue that.
>It’s a good hour or so before the two of you head over to the party.
>There’s a few ponies gathered around already, mingling amongst the warzone of streamers and balloons.
>Jesus fucking christ did Pinkie’s soul explode all over town?
K: “D-does Fluttershy even like balloons?”
>Spike gulps, batting aside a swath of balloons blocking his path.
>S: “I… I sincerely hope so…”
>Once the two of you have carved your path, you find a table to sit at.
>A part of you wants to start tying balloons to Spike and see how many it takes for him to start floating away to pass the time.
>Quite the “Discord-esque” thought.
>Speaking of, where is that asshole?
>Looking around, you can’t see him, and by now most party goers present have migrated to the eye of the storm.
>Probably planning some grand entrance or something.
>>
>>29794160
>The party slowly stirs to life like the eldritch abomination that it is.
>Slow at first, but once it gets going, nigh impossible to stop.
>Ponies everywhere, balloons everywhere, music blaring as loud as can be.
>They even got Trixie to put on a fucking /magic show/.
>You don’t know if you should be impressed or horrified.
>Spike thankfully sacrifices himself to go get you both some punch.
>Takes him a whole thirty minutes to return, with a crooked bowtie and the gaze of a Vietnam vet.
>S: “H-here’s your punch…”
>They hand you a half full glass, no doubt having spilled the rest.
K: “That bad huh?”
>S: “Got turned around… wound up in the foal section... “
>The poor bastard, he deserves a medal.
K: “I’ll uh… I’ll get the drinks next time…”
>And it was then you determined that you will not be getting anything else to drink this evening.
>As everything keep going on, you start to get some curious ponies walk up to you.
>”Are you the one who solved that crime?”
>”Oh, a dragon! Cute!”
>”Are you two a couple?”
>”Where’s the bathroom?”
>You shoo them off as best you can, but it’s grating.
>Spike’s spergy replies don’t help either.
>S: “We’re a couple of dragons!”
>Fucking end it all sweet merciful god.
>Maybe going for a drink run isn’t that bad of an idea.

>You catch a glimpse of Twilight once during the night.
>Smirking, you look around for Flash Sentry nearby.
>However, the only pony you see remotely close to her is… Trixie, fresh off a magic show.
>Nope, don’t even consider it Khoa.
>They probably just found each other in the midst of the party and started chatting.
>That’s all that’s happeneing, no matter what your shitposty brain thinks.
K: “So uh… Did Twilight mention who her date was tonight?”
>S: “She has a date?”
>Well he’s fucking useless right now.
>Flash Sentry is probably fighting in the Punch Bowl Wars.
>And besides, if Twilight was lesbian for anybody, it would be Glimmer or some shit.
>Seeing as how you’re obviously not living in a Season 5 and on universe, that might take a while though.
>Or, you could stop trying to ship ponies like a sane person Khoa, that’s always an option.
>F: “Um… K-Khoa?”
>Looking over, you see Fluttershy has managed to get over towards you.
K: “Hey! Happy Birthday!”
>She looks concerned, probably because of how loud and bright the party is.
>F: “H-have you seen Discord anywhere? Haven’t seen him in a few days, and I know that he was a-anticipating coming to the party…”

Fucking finally. Without further delay, here's the next part of Wonderland.
>>29786816
>It feels just like yesterday while you lay here gazing up at the swirled white and blue sky hanging above you.
>It's only been about four or five months since setting off on this expedition, but you're feeling pretty darn confident that you've found what you came looking for.
>You step out of the crumbling stone structure brushing cobwebs and leaves out of your hair as you climb over what is left of what you can only assume were once majestic pillars that have since collapsed and become just another obstacle for you to tackle on the forest floor.
>How you managed to stumble across a small statue of a lizard that is no higher than a pencil in over 2.7 million miles of blisteringly hot Brazilian rainforest is beyond you, but hey, you're not one to complain about such luck.
>Hell, you half expected the darn thing to just be a legend like everyone told you it was, but screw those people baby, because deep down you just /knew/ you weren't crazy!
>>
That feel when you forget to namefag.
>>29794530
>You step up onto a stone slab outside of the ruins to take one final look back at the small shrine-like temple you just pilfered before taking one more picture of the weed-tangled mess of a building for archival reasons.
>People are going to want to know where this thing came from, and unless you have the evidence to back it up, you may as well just leave the damn thing here and head on home empty handed because /nobody/ is going to believe this place exists without a solid reference and some co-ordinates.
>You must say, to finally have it in your hands is something else though. Five years of your life have all been building up to finding this thing.
>The legendary "Suzao Draco."
>You trecked your way through lands that had never been set foot in by an outsider before, saw people that no other man nor woman had laid eyes upon thanks to their generations of isolation, and seen things that most could only dream of.
>And all of that hardship for just this one tinie, tiny, wee, little statue that would look totally insignificant to any treasure hunter that may have eventually come to plunder these lands for their spoils in years to come.
>>
>>29794540
>The thing is, you're not even a veteran explorer, you're just a college chick who got a little bit too tied up in studying "lost treasures" online, and this one in particular leaped out at you down to just how much of it was an unsolved mystery case.
>The whole bloody thing has been a seemingly endless wild goose chase strung together on a mix of rumours, maybe's, and "I think's," but that moment when you struck gold, ohohoho, SO worth the sleepless nights and bad grades.
>There are about a million different theories about this little statue out there, and a further million about its cloudy history and origins.
>Everything from the Nazi's and Chinese wanting it, to the British Empire and Spanish Empire embarking on top-secret expeditions in order to try and retrieve it to harness its supposed "power" for war and conquest.
>The big one that really peaked your interest though is the supposed material it is rumoured to be chizzeled out of.
>>
>>29794548
>According to ancient texts you managed to get your hands on in regards to the Suzao Draco and it's other animal counterparts, they are made of a material that roughly translates to "not of this plane/realm," which is super spooky reasoning enough for you to see to it that it is found and studied under a microscope to see just what it is, and just what it isn't.
>Despite knowing that it is in reality /just/ a statue representing a bipedal dragon, you have to say, there is something about it that you have found decidedly odd, and ironically, that odd thing is just how not-odd it is in terms of craftsmanship.
>The smooth polished-stone faces and perfectly diamond-cut edges of the little thing are what really set it apart from most things of its documented life-span of just over 1,500 years.
>As far as you know, laser-cutting and precise engineering weren't all that accessible to people who still lived in caves and pooped into holes in the ground back then, and that alone is reasoning enough for this thing to potentially rewrite a chunk of history on its own.
>As you take one last look over the artifact in your hands, you flick open the catch on your rucksack before wrapping your prize in some clothes for padding and stuffing it down into the depths of your bag.

>You take a glance down to your watch and make a mental note of the time before you begin to talk to yourself out loud.
"7:30pm.. It's about a days treck back to the riverbank where I'm due to be picked up tomorrow, so that gives me plenty of time to set up a camp for the night with more than enough time to spare for packing things up in the morning.. Great!"
>This is probably the first time in years you're actually glad to be heading home from your escapades abroad, but the disturbing lack of tea in this forest is really starting to get to you, and in all honesty? You do miss your cosy little house.
>It'll be good to finally get back home.

Only have two posts of edited update, but I figure I'll post anyways so you guys know I'm still continuing the story.

>You squint your eyes, hissing under your breath as you stare down your prey.
>No, opponent.
>He's been able to outmaneuver your human cunning thus far.
>Taking in a sharp breath, through clenched teeth, you throw down your hand.
”Fuck it, I’m out,”
>Liam lets out a hearty chuckle, putting down his cards to grab at the random trinkets you lost.
>One pair, something you need to grow before playing with these guys.
>You wince at your own inside banter, still feeling insecure about being a female dragon.
>"I'm tellin' ya 'Non. Your face reads like a book." Liam, chuckles, the other sheep quickly joining in on the laughter.
>You slam your claw down into the cobbled wooden table, smashing the meeble thing into two, flames threatening to shoot out of your open muzzle.
"That's horse shit and you know it," you spit out, causing your little sheep friends to go deathly silent as they tremble and stare at you with widened eyes.
>Are you actually getting worked up?
>Yesterday, you were thinking of ways to get rid of some of that stuff.
>You chuckle to diffuse the tension, the sheep, one by one starting to laugh with you.
>Still, at the very thought of leaving your wealth, the pit of your stomach turns sour.
>If you could get cold sweats you're sure you would.
>Not only that, but the longer you sit around, the more sleepy and complacent you seem to feel.
>...Maybe you need to get some sun.
>"Point made." Liam laughs nervously. "Fer a second there, I thought you were really angry."
>>
>>29795981
>"Yeah, 'Non" Kevin bleets. “Ya had us goin' there,” leaning over in his stool to pat you on the back.
>A large crash, followed by the sound of galloping and screaming kobolds cut through the laughter, causing you to jump up, wings spread outward.
>Kevin falls backwards into the floor with an audible "oof" after being knocked by one of your wings.
>Reaching out to help him up, your minds starts to blank out, feeling more and more light headed by the second.
>You leave him hanging, jerking your arm back as the vibrations of the sounds work it's way up the membrane of your wings.
"Protect. Treasure." you whisper under your breath, bolting towards the sound on all fours.
>You inhale and exhale deeply as you walk, trying to clear up your head.
>Thoughts drift back to the pony adventuring party from yesterday.
>Were you really reluctant to give up your treasure because you thought they were being greedy?
>Or were you projecting?
>Reaching the largest cavern connected to the entrance, you're met with a single off-white pony unicorn, clad in shimmering silver armor and a bunch of beaten and bruised kobolds.
>Noticing you, he smiles smugly, squaring off his posture. "I've cometh to rescue the fair maiden being held captive in this cave." He announces. "These creatures of thyne art no match in the visage of good and justice. "
>You blink the last remnants of your anger away at that, letting your wings fall lazily.
>As far as you know, while far from fair, with your glistening brass scales, you're the only maiden in this cave.
"Ohh thank fuck," you breath out "I thought I was going to go crazy down here."
>The stallion looks you up and down with stern features.
>"Look, if you could use that unicorn magic of yours to help me find my way back-"
>"Silence beast." he calls out, stopping a hoof. Rude. "I shall not fall for thyne ruses 'r playeth thy mind games."
>What?

People care, things have just slowed to the point where it's painful though.

Pretty shitty when there's a general full of writers turning over daily updates yet nobody is reading apart from the writers.

Maybe we should go and ask the scalie thread on /trash/ to come check us out. I think a few of them are cross-/mlp/posters.

K: “I haven’t seen him in a while, besides, if he was going to be with anypony tonight, it would be with you.”
>She blushes, looking down a little.
>F: “Oh… I don’t know about t-that, Discord is very sociable…”
K: “Sure, but on /your/ birthday? I expected him to be next to you all night long, there’s no denying that you’re his favorite pony.”
>Her blush deepens, and a tiny smile spreads on her face.
>She’s /glad/ to hear that.
>Oh god, is this hopeless crush less one sided than you thought?
>You can worry about this later, right now there’s something far more pressing.
>Where the hell is Discord?
>Not just because you need to talk with him, but because this is very unlike him.
>The flamboyant lord of chaos missing a massive party dedicated to their best friend?
>That’s just not like them.
K: “Hey… maybe he slept in, or forgot, or something… I can go try and check…”
>It’s a shitty excuse to get out of the party, you have no idea where Discord would be, but might as well propose it.
>F: “I-I would appreciate that…”
>Taking your chance, you get the hell out of here.
>Free from the party that has been swallowing your soul all night.
>Never, ever, let PInkie Pie plan your birthday when it comes up.

>Once outside of the party’s perimeter, you half consider just going to bed for the night.
>You’ve been in town for a while now, and it’s made you tired.
>But, you did promise Fluttershy you’d look for Discord.
>Detective Khoa is reluctantly on the case.
>The town is an eerie sort of quiet, considering the loud amount of noise you just left.
>For a party that’s been blazing of for hours now, it’s still going on strong.
>Even as the sun has begun to set, painting the sky a muted orange, you can just hear the party going on in the distance.
>But everything else is desolate, abandoned.
>Practically everypony in town is at that party.
>But not Discord…
K: “Hey! Discord! Get your ass out here! Fluttershy is worried!”
>You’re just yelling at the air right now, but for all you know, he could be listening in.
>Apparently, somebody is listening, because of the deep, throaty laughter echoing nearby.
>Definitely not Discord’s voice, although he could just be using a fake one to fuck with you.
?: “Oh dear, did somebody not show up to that little party today?”
>The voice is as smooth as honey, despite the apparent age you can hear in it.
>There’s also a jeering, taunting undertone to it, not much unlike Discord’s, except this feels far less playful.
>It sends shivers down your spine just to hear it.
>The source of the voice steps out, practically gliding towards you.
>In an instant it’s obvious who it is.
>>
>>29797511
>They’re a large dragon, clad in a rough looking robe.
>Their scales are a dark obsidian color, so dark that if it were any later in the night you might have had trouble seeing them.
>Both of their horns seem to have been broken over time, cutting off as jagged nubs of differing lengths.
>Their eyes, a piercing yellow, look over you analytically, sizing you up.
>Like he’s trying to learn everything about you without even speaking with you.
>Their claws are stained black about halfway up, almost as if they’re covered in something.
>Looks like the surname “Inkclaw” is taken a little literally.
>Asmod the Mad, in the flesh.
>As: “I must apologize for the abrupt meeting, I truly intended things to go far smoother than this.”
K: “Y-you tried to ruin my reputation and… had somebody killed…”
>He sighs, either genuinely disappointed or very good at faking it.
>As: “Skip… he tries his best, but they obviously were not equipped for such a sensitive task.”
>Play things cool, don’t do anything crazy right now Khoa.
>No matter how much you want to punch him.
>As: “But that’s beyond the point, I believe you’re looking for a certain deity of chaos, yes?”
>Sighing, you nod.
>As: “I must apologize, for he is a little… bogged down at the moment. He was getting awfully nosey in my work, and besides, I needed to test a pet project of mine. I do like experimenting on things you know…”
K: “Wh-what did you do?”
>You’re shaking a little right now, and there’s no denying it’s out of fear.
>Asmod steps forward a bit, relishing in your fear.
>As: “I’ve been attempting to replicate the power of the Elements of Harmony, purely as a side project for, well, the main goal. And, as the new statue decorating my home would attest to, I’ve succeeded in that goal.”

Wrong.
Clarissa's behemoth is male I think, Kolaghan's other dragon (OP pic related) is male.
There is, however, a shortage of male dragons.

About as gay as watching hoofball with friends on Friday night.
Also homo tension is fun. Becomes hilarious if one of the friends is actually gay.

More Reflection

>A sigh escaped you, but you still smiled.
>It felt good to have that weight off of your chest.
>Your boobs were heavy enough, after all.
>You straightened up your posture and nodded to Princess Celestia.
>”So, my experience before arriving, right?”
>She nodded back.
“Yes, take as much time as you need.”
>”Well, it was-“

>You are Princess Celestia, but in this moment, you truly are Columba on that fateful night she appeared here in Equestria.
>As Columba speaks, your mind is painted with the images and sensations she experienced then.
>You’re sitting on a stone slab, on the roof of an apartment building, looking out at the city before you.
>Lights were everywhere, bright streetlamps, towering and lit skyscrapers, huge billboards advertising the newest anti-aging cream or the oldest and most established brand of alcohol.
>Your eyes weren’t for the city and its lights however.
>They were trained on the walls, on the broken windows, on the ghost cars waiting in parking lots for people with guts to try their luck.
>It was a quiet night, all of the sounds around you were muted by the softly falling snow.
>Every now and then you could hear a police siren screaming in the distance.
>You’d long gotten used to sirens, they hardly counted as noise anymore.
>You pulled on your gasmask, adjusting the straps to make sure it fit tight to your face.
>Then you put your hood on and slung your backpack over your shoulder.
>It was time to get to business.
>You hopped from your perch, and dashed as soon as your feet touched down.
>You felt instantly exhilarated, like a knife across the knuckles, a kegger in a second, a fag down to ashes before you could blink.
“Ah.”
>You are Princess Celestia again, and you couldn’t help but gape a teensy bit in surprise.

>You had let that vulgar and hot blooded streak you felt in Columba’s Stream creep too deeply into your own.
>Your gaze flicked forward, towards your guest.
>Columba was still telling her story, and thankfully she seemed too focused on the enchanted gyroscope hovering and spinning above the hearth to notice your slip.
>”-it was about a four hundred meter dash from there, mixed with a few vertical climbs. Once I’d gotten to the spot I-
>You could still see that passionate fire in Columba’s eyes, it had done nothing but grow since she woke up and stretched this morning.
>Suddenly, you realized you were about to miss some important details in her story.
>With some care, you started to tune back in to Columba’s stream.
>It had grown impossible to listen to Columba’s Stream casually now that it had reigned itself in, but it was not so well developed that it could resist your probing.
>What a stark contrast to other dragons you’d met, Anonymous the Morning Star was the first to mind.
>His mind and Stream both had developed labyrinthine defenses just days after you first saw him.
>Combined with his impossible power of will and the scrupulous and supremely cynical mind of a strategist, the Morning Star was a force to be reckoned with, rivalling even the most ancient trio of dragons.
>…It made you wonder if you should really send Columba his way.
>She was too naïve, too accepting.
>But now Columba’s thoughts were your own, and you delved into her again.
>You’d been scouting out this spot for weeks now, an old abandoned law firm.
>It was right in front of the police station, with a nice clean wall on the roof to spray on.
>Risky, high visibility.
>The perfect spot, heaven.
>You grinned and pulled yourself up from the ledge, finally on top of the building.
>It had taken you a few days to figure out how to climb this damn thing, all the fire escape ladders had rusted to bits.
>You were here at last.
>>
>>29804970
>Laughter came unbidden to you when you thought of all those police officers looking out of their windows and seeing your mark first thing in the morning.
>You crouched down, slid your hand into a crack in the roof and pulled out the paint roller and the can of white paint you’d left up here.
>Brimming with excitement, you set yourself up by the wall, with your spray cans out and ready.
>First was the canvas, you painted a solid, white, sixteen by nine rectangle, and then you used black to spray on the edges of a banner.
>Columba’s mind simply skipped over the parts where she had waited for the paint to dry.
>She was too excited to bother with the more tedious details.
>You sprayed your lettering on the banner you’d made, wildstyle, with lots of curves and overlaps.
>Your hand moved smoothly in swoops and lines, index finger pressed on the can.
>It spelled out B E N Z O in stark black and rich gold.
>You started detailing the letters next, making them really pop off of the wall with a 3D perspective.
>The finishing touches were doves, five of them hovering around and staring at the banner, two of them holding it up with their beaks.
>You must have sat and admired your work for nearly an hour, just sitting up on the roof sipping an energy drink while the city grew louder and louder
>It was probably the best you’d ever done, it had taken so long that the sun was starting to rise.
>But that just made it look better, your piece looked heavenly in the golden light of the sun.

Done for now. Tried something strange this time and I think it came out ok.

Any cool story ideas you guys want to see done?

>Walking down the hallway, you think about how great it'll be to finally sit down.
>Your new body is quite high in endurance, but you're still tired from walking so much this evening.
>You stare into the library as you pass it. Your vision falls on the barely visible back rows of shelves, and you're suddenly reminded of the secret door Discord and you found.
>You were going to explore around in there, but you were interrupted by Celestia's summon.
>You could probably call Discord and continue your adventure right now, but you decide against it.
>This is an adventure for tomorrow, you've had too much excitement for one day.
>Discord is probably too busy torturing lowly farmers with creatures anyway...
>You continue on and enter your room, lighting the fire in the fire place and some candles on your desk.
>While you light the candles with your breath, you notice that you're missing a few books.
>Most of them are on the desk, but it looks like you're missing a history book and that anatomy one you were reading.
>Twilight must have borrowed them...oh well, you weren't planning on reading them anyway. You have your armor book, and that's all you need.
>You plop down on your chair, scoot it up to the desk, and open up Rarity's book of dragon clothes.
>'Standards of the Dominion.'
>The Dominion, huh? This book really /is/ old.
>You only thumbed through it before, but now that you really read it and compare it with the Dominion you saw in your dream, you realize that there's a lot of consistencies.
>>
>>29806725
>The dragon fashion in this book heavily resembles that of the dragons you visited in your dream.
>A lot of metal pieces, some even wearing full plate with mainly black robes. Most clothing is adorned with treasures of sorts like precious metals and trinkets, excluding jewels...probably because they're food basically.
>Many well known dragons incorporate trophies from the foes they've defeated, be that skulls, bones in general, parts of their enemies' armor or flag, or maybe their weapons.
>You think back to the dragon in your dream, and how many skulls he had on his robes.
"Jesus..."
>You begin making notes of certain things that you like from the book. You'll take this list to Rarity and see what she can do for you.
>You make it a good bit through the book, skimming for cool looking armor pieces. After a while your list is complete, and you lean back in your seat and rest your eyes.
>It feels so nice just being able to relax like this.
>Ever since you got here it's just been one crazy thing after another. Sure there's this looming conspiracy, but it's been around for thousands of years, you don't have to act on this information /right away/.
>It's quiet moments like these that you can focus on all of the small things that get over shadowed. Things like your new body, and how you're getting used to it.
>Your new parts don't seem so foreign anymore. Granted, you haven't really experienced /everything/ they have to offer yet...
>It's still strange thinking of yourself as a lady. You can fuck with people a lot sure, but when it comes down to your /own/ feelings, it's still a bit weird.
>You think about your recent little pranks with Fluttershy, Twilight and...Spike.
>Thinking about Spike always brings up strange feelings, especially considering recent events.
>>
>>29806957
>You begin to feel different as your thoughts persist, and you notice a dampness between your legs.
>You try and stop your thoughts, but it's too late. All of these thoughts about strutting your stuff in front of Twilight...and Spike, it's making you a bit horny.
>You wonder what female orgasms /really/ feel like. You've experienced one in a dream, but it's still not the real thing, no matter how vivid the dream is.
>You don't /have/ to wonder...
>You slowly slide your hand up your dress and rub your womanhood awkwardly.
>At first, you aren't quite familiar with how to do it, but you quickly catch on.
>Before long, you're panting heavily and exploring your own body.
>Your head is swimming with overwhelming pleasure as you grind your hips and work your fingers.
>You decide to quickly get up and take off your dress before continuing, but just as you stand you hear a knock on your door.
>Never have you felt a bigger buzz kill in your life...
>You scramble to sit back down in your chair and fix your dress while steadying your breathing.
>The knocking comes again, and you sit rigid in your chair in a panicked attempt to look 'casual.'
"Uh...c-come in!"
>You hear the door open behind you and you turn your head to see your...untimely visitor.
>It's Spike! What does he want now?!
>Your eyes go wide as the sight of him drives you into a small frenzy, a sort of lust that you can't explain.
>Spike stands in the doorway with a goofy smile on his face, and you scoot your chair to the side to face him better.
>S: "Hey Tonic, I was...uh, is everything ok? You look a bit off..."
"Y-yeah, I'm perfect! What makes you say that?"
>Maybe it's because you're eyeing him like a starving dog looks at meat...
>>
>>29806016
I just ate like nine potato and pea samosas and thought of you and your vegetation ways, punki.
No regrets.
>>
>>29807335
>S: "Oh, nothing I guess. Anyway, I had something else I forgot to ask you earlier..."
"What is it, Spike?"
>Your words come out hasty, and you try your best to hide your wild eyes.
>Come on Spike, say what you need to say and get out!
>You're /really/ trying hard not to lose it right now!
>Your breathing gets progressively heavier as he continues to fumble over his words like before.
>S: "Well, me and Big Mac...we have this thing we do. We thought maybe you'd join us...if you want to I mean! I don't want you to feel obligated to if you don't-"
"Spike...remember what I said about that script?"
>Just ask whatever you need to ask Spike!
>Your inner thighs feel like they're on fire, and you squirm in your seat.
>S: "Right, sorry, Me and Big Mac were wondering if you would want to play a game called Ogres and Oubliettes with us. It's really fun!"
>You involuntarily lick your lips and he raises an eyebrow at you.
"Uh-yeah, sure! Sounds fun, Spike, I'm down for whenever!"
>You practically leap from your chair and begin pushing him out of the room. It feels like lightning strikes you when you actually make contact with his scales.
>S: "T-that's great! I'll let you know tomorrow ok?"
>You respond while still pushing him out the door.
"Yeah, I just need some sleep. Like, /right now/ ok?!"
>S: "I understand. Hey, see if you can convince Twilight to play with us! We can never get her to, but maybe she'll listen to-"
>You shut the door in Spike's face before he finishes his sentence and you stand panting with your back against the door.
>You head Spike's muffled voice from the other side of the door, followed by the sound of footsteps that grows distant.
>S: "Well, good night Tonic!"
>When you can no longer hear his footsteps, you launch yourself off of the door and take off your dress in the most ungracious way possible.
>Tossing it aside, you fall onto your bed and practically assault yourself until you eventually pass out.

Continued from >>29794580
>With a little yawn and a groan as you stretch yourself out, you flutter your eyes open gently to be met by the sounds of nightlife all throughout the seemingly endless luscious greenery that surrounds you.
>Damn it, you must have drifted off to sleep while parking your butt here for too long. You've found yourself doing that a lot lately, it's surprisingly much easier to get comfy on rough surfaces for you since your whole species swap ordeal.
>Must be a lizard thing.
>You never really stopped to think about it, but you half remember reading a book somewhere about a lot of reptiles being night-hunters that sleep during the day and sunbathe to get their energy up.
>Y-yeah.. That must be it.. Y-you're not just lazy or anything..
>With shaky half asleep movements, you manage to get onto your hands and knees and crawl along the coarse bark below towards your cloak and rucksack.
>>
>>29807985
>You can't help but think that this would be far less of a chore during the day as your eyes adjust to the ocean of night that surrounds you.
>You readjust your tail a little around the branch as you reach down to paw at your cloak in order to see if it's dried any.
>Heck yeah! Today must be your day, as it seems the heat of the sun has practically turned what little is left of the once porridge like mixture of filth into a hard clay that you proceed to shake off.
>Perfect, it's just like it was never there.
>With a newly plastered smile across your scaly face, you wrap your cloak around yourself and shuffle back up to a more secure position before reaching out for your battered old rucksack.
>Doubly awesome! Nothing has eaten through your bag in search of food during your little nap, so you know what that means? You might actually survive another night out here!
>While you get yourself settled into position, you begin to rummage through your various nick-nacks and other belongings in search of your lantern in order to light your way during the night-hours.
>>
>>29807993
>If there's one thing in this rainforest you want to stay the hell away from, it is without a doubt the predators that come out in search of lone wondering creatures they can pray on during the dead of night.
>Thank the heavens they are all terrified of fire and bright light. If it wasn't for that, you would have been chow before you even became a dragon.
>Like, no joke, for really reals.
>That run-in with a caiman was the scariest thing you have ever experienced in your entire life. You still think that the only reason you got away was because the monstrous reptile thought you were too pitiful to eat.
>You shudder in horror at the memory.
"Aha! Got it!"
>You reach down into your bag and fish out your little solar powered lantern, before flicking the red switch on its base causing it to flash into life.
>After a couple of blinks and some prolonged squirming, your eyes finally become undazzled and slowly adjust to the newly introduced light-source.
>>
>>29807999
>For something that's solar-powered, that little blighter sure is bright.
>Righty'o, big ol' bag of survival gear and survival accessories? Check.
>Totally fashionable cloak? Check.
>Light so you don't bump into a big cat or caiman and become dragon-meat? Big check.
>You awkwardly grab the handle of your lantern in your mouth as you raise up to your feet and begin your balancing act along the not-so-sturdy branch below you.
>No sense in dropping back down to where you came from, you'll just end up drowning in swamp-water in the middle of the night, or alternatively, you might get turned into gator-bait and you can't imagine either of those things being a particularly fun way to go out.
>As you near the main trunk of the tree, you dig your claws into the thick bark causing a sticky amber coloured solution to run out and down onto your hands as you begin the slow climb down to the forest floor with wobbly legs.
>You've never really been much of a heights kind of person. Even though you do happen to have wings now, the chances of you ever using them for flight are slim to none.
>>
>>29808007
>Panic attack mid-air? No thank you.
>They do make an excellent emergency blanket on colder nights though, you'll definitely give them that.
>As you scale down the trunk of the tree, you glance down to observe your process only to find you're just about six feet off of the ground.
>One of the perks of only going up as far as you can climb prevent you from getting yourself in /too/ difficult of a position where you may otherwise freeze up and get stuck.
>As soon as your feet hit the soft marshy ground below, you start scanning your eyes around immediately for something else that you're going to need out here in order to make your night-shift wandering across the forest floor at least somewhat more bearable.
>Aha! That's what you're looking for!
>You eagerly reach on down, grabbing a sturdy looking stick you can use as a staff for battling off the local wildlife, and the best bit? It also comes in handy doubling as a latern holder to stop your wrist from sitting in an awkward position for too long.
>There's an art in picking the perfect staff, and you have the gift for it. Sturdy and smooth from the bottom upwards with some longer over-stretched branch-like parts on top for hanging your wares from.
>Perfect.
>Hooking your lantern onto the front of your new accessory, you zip-up your rucksack and raise your hood as you set off into the depths of the forest.

Stopping here for now.

Bredy good. Is this dragon still a Brit?

>>29797515
>He’s gotta be joking, he has to be.
>There’s no way that he could have harnessed anything remotely similar to the elements.
>But, the way he talks, he’s so confident about it.
>Not to mention it explains Discord’s sudden disappearance.
>As: “But let’s not dwell on such trivial matters, the former god of chaos is not what I came to speak with you tonight.”
>Just hearing Asmod refer to Discord as “the former” angers you on a level you can’t even explain.
>Discord has given you constant shit ever since you got here, showing practically no sign of remorse.
>But there’s no denying he’s been your guide this whole time.
>Without Discord, would you have done half the stuff you’ve already done?
>Definitely not.
>So, as fucked up as it is, you care about the guy.
>And now he’s been reduced to a statue, all because he got… too nosey?
>Oh god, was he looking into how you wound up in Equestria?
>He had to have been, and that means…
>This is your fault.
>The revelation almost topples you over.
>Not again… not again…
>Asmod takes note of your reaction.
>As: “Why, you’re feeling responsible for this, aren’t you?”
K: “Y-y-you…”
>As: “That’s one thing that you’ve always been rather affluent in, taking on guilt. Wouldn’t you agree?”
>The words don’t even come out your mouth any more.
>As: “No… definitely not ready… I shouldn’t be rushing things, my apologies.”
>Asmod begins to walk away, intending to leave you in the middle of the road.
>Your addled mind has no issue in him doing so, but your legs seem to have a different goal.
>Why are you walking? You don’t want to do this, do you?
>A part of you must, because you’re following him.
>>
>>29808996
>It doesn’t even feel like you’re in control, more like something is pushing you along.
>Left, right, left, right…
>Right behind Asmod…
>He notices after a bit.
>Or perhaps he knew all along and was weighing the options of how to react.
>Either way, he suddenly turns, whipping his tail around.
>So much larger than you, his tail careens right into your ribs.
>The wind is knocked right out of you and you fall onto the ground with a thud.
>As: “Don’t pretend to be so eager now, when your time comes, you will know.”
>Even if you had a retort for him, it would have been swallowed up by your pained gasps for air.
>He’s just standing there, looking down at you.
>As: “Perhaps… if you are so eager to act, I shall give you a chance to act.”
>Their gaze turns off to the distance, towards the party.
>As: “The domestic dragon, I would venture that other than Discord, they are your closest relationship here, yes?”
>How does he…?
>You start to sit up, or at least attempt to.
>As: “Skip will not be in that dungeon for much longer, I can promise you that.”
>It’s like he’s staring into your soul right now.
>As: “He may be out already, depending on how quickly he figured out the present I sent him this morning. The moment he comes to me, I will give him a very simple order to redeem himself.”
>Asmod sneers, relishing on the atmosphere he has created.
>As: “To kill that domestic dragon in any way he sees fit. Of course, if you can stop him before that… well, perhaps then you’ll be ready.”
>You don’t know how to react right now, everything is such a blur…
>As: “Can you act now? Or will you simply watch as another you care about has their life ripped away in front of your eyes?”
>He knows…
>He knows about back then…
>Asmod is walking away now, leaving you with all of this.
>As: “Time is limited. I suggest you treat this with utmost urgency.”

In theory, a dragon could breath some fire to burn off the oxygen in the air, choking the bigger, more dangerous uncontrolled fire.
Or just incinerate anything that burns, creating a firebreak, I dunno.

I just found a good business opportunity - employment agency for henchmen and villains.
Providing education, marksmanship training, sensitivity training with rolled-up newspaper, anti-idiocy classes and analysis of evil opportunities for the would-be villains.
I mean, for someone like Dr. Evil it would be hard to find staff that would agree to work in his secret volcano hideout.
Or suppose you're just starting out, doing evil things in your hometown, terrorizing it's citizens. But you feel that kicking trashcans, chasing cats up the trees and spitting on sidewalks is not enough, then you can contact the agency and they will help you choose and refine your evil ways. Sophisticated robberies, city-wide arson, foalnapping, international crime syndicates, playing monsters in local amusement park and substitute teachers in miss Steel Ruler's school for misbehaving foals - there are so many opportunities to be evil with even more opening every day, waiting for the discerning evil-doer.

Undecided yet, but probably. Makes it much easier for me to write her without it feeling too forced.

She's from a different walk of life than Daze is though, so their personalities and the way they'll react to certain situations will be totally different to prevent her from just becoming Daze 2.0.

She has insecurities, fears, etc that will come into play throughout the story.

>You slowly open your eyes and blink as they adjust to the morning light.
>As you become more coherent, you take in the position of your body. You're sprawled out on your bed in the wrong direction, with your feet on your pillows and your head at the foot of the bed. Your limbs are going out in all directions, and your jaw is hanging open with a puddle of drool by you head.
>You want to get up- no, you /should/ get up, but you don't /want/ to. You've never felt more relaxed in your life, you're scared to even move, lest you ruin this perfect state you're in.
>Memories of last night flooded back to you, and just how good it felt.
>A primal urge took over you when you saw Spike, and it took everything you had to keep an ounce of intelligence about you.
>As soon as you were alone with yourself though, it all went out the window. Your mind went blank and you only cared about one thing.
>You aren't sure just how many times you got yourself there, you just know that it was complete ecstasy from the moment your head hit the bed.
>You remember clenching your teeth and stifling screams as your entire body tensed up before going limp, and then repeating the process.
>Now you're feeling the aftermath. Your muscles are tender and sore, but they tingle all over.
>You roll your head over and face the window, seeing the light seeping in along with the sparkling of the crystalline walls.
>Last night was dreamless, you must've really done a number on yourself to have achieved that...
>'You're going to have to get up at some point.'
>Shut up.
>You lay there a bit longer, slowly waking up little by little until you eventually force yourself out of bed.
>>
>>29811361
>You shakily stand up from your bed and make your way to the nearest bathroom, clutching the corner of your bed sheets and dragging them along behind you as you walk.
>You're gonna have to wash these sheets...
>Your footsteps and the sound of the fabric dragging behind you echoes down the hallway and you shamble toward the bathroom, your arms hanging limp.
>Everything feels so...loose, and good.
>You pass by the little laundry room that Spike uses to wash all of the miscellaneous things like sheets, towels and rags, and you haphazardly toss your sheets into the doorway and continue on.
>Once in the shower, the fog in your head starts to lift.
>'Ok, it's time to act like a person again.'
>You dry yourself off and regain your composure. No more slouching, no more loosely hanging arms, no more primordial sexual rampages...
>You head back to your room, grab your dress and head for the kitchen. Hopefully Twilight or at least Glimmer will be there to help you get dressed.
>You begin to hear voices down the hall as you near the kitchen, looks like Twilight and Glimmer are there at least.
>You walk through the doorway and spot Spike preparing food at the counter.
>You expected to feel something when you saw him, but it looks like your primal urges are spent for the time being...thank Christ.
>He turns to greet you but stutters a bit.
>Oh yeah, no clothes on...
"Mornin' Spike."
>He looks a bit flustered and returns his attention to the food he's making, so you turn to face Twilight and Glimmer.
"Hey Twilight, you think you can give me a hand with this? When you're ready, anyway?"
>Her eyes light up and she almost chokes on the food she was chewing.
>T: "I'd love to! We can do it when breakfast is over!"
>Starlight begins chuckling next to her.
>SG: "Come on Twilight, that's not necessary. We have magic!"
>Twilight's cheeks get a little pink as she tries to weasel her way out of this.

>T: "Well, I prefer to work with my hooves because...um, it's important! It's important to, uh...not get to dependent...on magic."
>SG: "Well you never seem to practice that sort of thinking any other time..."
>Twilight just giggles nervously, and Starlight rolls her eyes.
>Starlight stand up from the table and her horn begins to glow. Shortly after, your dress dissapears in a cloud of smoke. You suddenly feel your mid-section being constricted as the dress materializes onto you.
"Hey, it worked!"
>Starlight lifts her chin with a triumphant smile.
>SG: "See? Nothing a little magic can't fix."
>Twilight looks bummed out, and she lets out a defeated sigh.
>T: "Yeah, I suppose that /is/ the best way to do it..."
"Don't worry Twilight, maybe later you can help me.../take it off/."
>Twilight's face goes pale, and you think she might pass out again, but you're distracted by the sound of glass breaking behind you.
>You turn to see Spike blushing hard. He appears to have crushed a glass of orange juice in his fist.
>You all look at him with concerned looks on your faces.
>S: "uh...whoops."
>You chuckle quietly to yourself and walk up to Spike, stealing the toast he had on the plate in his other hand and walking back toward your room.
>S: "H-hey, we're still getting lunch together right?"
>You turn to respond with a piece of toast hanging out of your mouth.
"Yeah, just gotta pay Rarity a visit first."
>You head back to your room, grab Rarity's book and your list, then head out the front doors after a small goodbye.
>God damn, Spike sure does make some good toast...

Omg, it's such a good idea.

>Asmod lets discord go in exchange for access to other worlds.
>He takes villains from all over and trains them like an X-Men type of school.
>His plots are overthrown by Mary Sues and eventually his school is found out by none other than the Wanderer.

>I blinked once, suddenly wide awake. I didn't remember falling asleep at all, or much before I must have done so...I...I had no idea how long it had been. I stared wide-eyed up at the sky, seeing incredibly swirly clouds pass by me. They seemed so much more tangible than they should be, a lot more defined. Where was I?
>Quickly I shot upwards from the ground and immediately fell back down, my body incredibly wrong and bigger than it should have been. What the fuck? I stared at my arms, jointed oddly and a grey blue. Scaled. I flexed my fingers, hooked claws at the end. What the fuck.
>Panic settled calmly below the surface. Slowly I tried to get up again, finding my feet. Also scaled and colored the same way, also jointed...oddly. Like everything had shifted location. Casually I strolled up to a nearby pond and looked into the too-blue and too-reflective waters. Gone was my...I couldn't remember how I used to look, but I knew it was different. I had a long snout with high nostrils, tube-like ears set high on my head, and dual trails of webbing down my head along my neck and back. I had a tail too, webbed along the side of it. I opened my mouth to see rows of needle teeth caging a long thing tongue.
>Loud shouts and laughter jolted me out of my self-inspection and I whirled around, all my spines raised as I reflexively let out a hiss.

"OH MY GOD IT'S A DRAGON!"

>A bright pink pony screamed, turning and running straight into another purple pony, setting off a chain reaction that sent every pony tumbling to the ground. Oh God, what the fuck? Physically feeling my panic now I looked around, sudden fear driving me to dive into the lake. Aaahh, safety. As my heart's pounding slowed awareness of the situation came to me. There are talking colorful ponies here. And my ears and nostrils seemed to have shut by themselves. Huh, I don't think I was this good of a swimmer before. What was before?

r8 & h8
this is my first time be gentle
>>
>>29811945
It's shit.
>>
>>29811945
>Turning around the water I see a pink pony in scuba diving gear and let out a silent scream. Mouth suddenly full of water I push myself to the surface and cough, spitting out water and gasping. Funny how I didn't feel at all like I needed to breathe until I tried to drink the lake.

"HI! My name is Pinkie Pie! Ohmygosh I'm so excited to see another baby dragon! WellIguessyouaren'ttotallyababysinceyoudoseemalotbiggerthanSpikebutyou'redefinitelynothatbig. What's your name?"

I blinked at her, mentally incapable of forming a coherent thought after the word bombardment.

"Uh."

"OHMYGOSHYOUCANTALKTOOTHAT'SSOCOOL."
A voice behind me ahem'd and I turned around to see five other ponies. There was a white one, blue one, orange one, and a yellow pony cowering behind a purple one. There was also a small green dragon. The purple pony was the next to speak, seeing like the leader.

"Pinkiepie settle down. My name is Twilight Sparkle, what is a juvenile dragon doing in Ponyville? What *is* your name?"

"Twilight he looks like a steer staring at a snake, are you sure he's a dragon? Looks a bit funny to me." The orange pony was the one talking now, with an accent. I stared as the purple one's - Twilight's - horn began to glow with a shimmery aura and a book was pulled from the bags across her back. She flipped the pages quickly, also with her horn, settling on one before nodding to herself and putting the boom back. "He's a water dragon Applejack, they're a bit more sleek than your average mountain-dwelling one." That would explain a bit. They all stared at me expectantly, the pink one too though I didn't notice her leaving the water or changing out of her gear.

"I don't know."

"What?" Even the terrified yellow one was looking at me odd.

"I don't know my name, or what I'm doing here. I don't know how I got here at all, I just woke up next to the lake and then you came and I..I was surprised because everything here feels so different."

Water dragons are cash family, I'd read more.

The first person view is interesting. definitely unusual, but not bad.

The only real criticism I have is to maybe structure the dialogue a bit better. I was able to read it just fine, but someone else may not be able to.

I look forward to more if you feel inclined

Do more. I like this.
>>
>>29812391
To add I did not know that first person is unusual. I tried writing in 2nd but it was difficult for me, was way easier to write in first.

OP did ask 'you' about 'your' personal situation
>>
>>29812002
>Why would a dragon not know where he's from, why he's here, or even his name?
The blue pony said accusingly, seeming ready to charge at me. but I had no better answers for her. I didn't know how to respond, I was just as confused.
>Come on! You seem pretty suspicious, why can't you explain yourself!
Twilight shushed her.
>Rainbow Dash! I'd like to get answers, not send him running away.

I did want to run away at this point, my head hurt, and nothing made any sense.
>You said we're in Ponyville? What is that? Who are all of you? Is everyone else...like you? Ponies? I'm a - a water dragon?

The white pony and the orange one, Applejack, gave concerned looks to each other. Twilight seemed shaken up by my response. The shy one nearly whispered, no longer hiding behind Twilight.
>I-I think that we should help him. He must be really far from home.
Applejack gave a thoughtful reply.
>Weeell there's plenty o' room on the farm for him.
>Psh! If you want to get gobbled up by this creepy dragon.
>I think we should throw a welcome party!
>He should come with me to the library so I can do research, maybe I'll figure out where he's from and why he can't remember anything.
>Poor darling, I can't imagine-

All the voices jumbled together into a cacophony of noise in my head, making me cringe in pain. It was all too much and with every moment I was getting more scared, I had no idea what this place was and everything felt wrong....

>STOOOOP!

Every pony froze. I flushed with shame at yelling at such...helpless seeming ponies. They knew as little as I did. The green dragon started to speak.

>Guys, I think we need to slow down a bit...He seems really upset...
Twilight nodded.
>Well...dragon, since you don't remember your name...maybe we should give you one? Spike, what do you think we should name him?
I nodded at her, though it pained me that still I had no idea who I was. Spike looked at me carefully.
>How about Webs?

Criticisms necessary

>>29812863
The dialogue layout is a lot better now, good on ya.

The story is shaping up to be pretty interesting. The only other thing I can think of is more descriptive text. Surroundings, senses, tone of voice, body language etc.

You'll probably get better feedback once the more experienced writefags wake up

Hello
Yes
Hello

Hello I am new to site could you I request art from artist. Could I get drawing of Spike dragon turning into think. Would be very appreciative thank you friends.

>You’re left there to ponder the situation at hand and to nurse a sore rib.
>Asmod said a lot, none of it good.
>Discord is… gone.
>And if what he says is true Spike is in mortal danger.
>Skip may be lacking in a lot of areas, but he’s killed before, and will do it again.
>It takes you a moment to get back up on your feet and stable.
>There’s probably a bruise under all these scales.
>You could head to the castle and check if Skip has broken out yet.
>But if he has, you’d have wasted far too much time…
>No, you have to get to Spike.
>Grunting, you start to trudge back to the party.
>Each step with your left foot hurts, it’s not unbearable, but it’s painful.
>All you can really do is grit your teeth and deal with it.
>Once you get to Spike, you can hide him away somewhere.
>Hide him away then get the guards to start searching for Skip…
>A solid plan, just need to get back to the party…
>It’s a slow walk, the pain has only just started to subside by the time you reach all the flashing lights of the party.
>Now just to find Spike.
>Thank God he’s still sitting at the table, awkwardly looking around.
K: “Sp-Spike! You need to come with me /now/!”
>He looks over, a little startled by your tone.
>Spike doesn’t argue though, he gets up and walks over.
>S: “What’s going on Khoa?”
>You almost consider telling him, but you don’t want to worry the guy.
K: “Nothing… let’s… let’s just go to my house for a bit…”
>He can hide in a closet until you find a better spot.
>>
>>29815264
>Either Spike doesn’t comment on it, but your walk is going back to a decent pace.
>No broken ribs it seems, that’s good.
>But no time to celebrate that, you’ve got a lot more than that to worry about.
>Spike will have to lay low until somebody catches Skip and ensures Asmod can’t get to him.
>That is, if Asmod wasn’t saying all that to intimidate you.
>It’s possible, but you don’t get the feeling he’s the kind of guy to bluff about anything.
>He sure didn’t fucking bluff when he knocked you flat on your ass.
>As if going to this party wasn’t going to shit up your night enough tonight, things have just been getting progressively awful.
>You feel a twinge of guilt, knowing that you’ll have to tell Fluttershy about Discord.
>And how it’s your fault that it happened.
>Once again, something to think about another time.
>The two of you are quickly outside your house.
K: “Look… I need you to just kind of… hide for a bit.”
>S: “Hide? Why?”
K: “Somebody… well, uh, they are very angry with me- and they intend to take that out on you.”
>He doesn’t seem to know how to react, not that you can blame him.
>After a bit, he nods, at least somewhat understanding the situation.
>You still haven’t mentioned that this involves them wanting to kill him, and you intend to keep it that way.
>No need to complicate matters.
>Opening the door to head inside, you notice something off.
>Did you leave your window open?
>Before you have time to ponder it further, you’re out cold, thanks to something smashing into your face.
>The last thing you hear before slipping out it the startled yelp of Spike.
>>
>>29815285
>When you come to, you’re sitting against the wall of your house.
>Your head feels like it's been split in two, and that’s not too crazy of a thought considering the method of your assault.
>Slowly gaining composure, you see Skip sitting casually in a chair, next to a bound and gagged Spike.
>Sk: “Th-that’s how you knock a dragon out with a r-rock…”
>Still a smug little twat, some things never change.
>And your headache doesn’t help that.
>Sk: “A-Asmod is giving me a chance for redemption, b-but you know th-that. But he d-did offer me a… special route to d-do things.”
>Skip stands up, stretching as he keeps his eyes glued on you.
>Sk: “H-he said if I d-do it in a specific way, I’ll have proven mys-self in a w-way I could have never done before.”
>He produces an ornate knife from beside him as be begins to pace around the room.
>Sk: “To d-do it front of y-you. A-after all, what could y-you do to stop it?”
>You haven’t been bound at all.
>There’s nothing restraining you besides your aching head.
>But you have a feeling that’s not what he’s talking about.
>You know for a fact that’s not what he’s talking about.
>Sk: “Wh-what was that human female called again? A-Asmod has told me the st-story, but I’m foggy on the details.”
>The dragon cackles as your head droops down in shame.
>Fuck.
>>
>>29815299
>That day still haunts you.
>How could it not?
>Seeing her die, watching it happen while you hid like a coward.
>The image is seared in your mind.
>Nightmares don’t have to be frequent to keep the wounds fresh.
>Trying to live with is possible, sure, but it’s never gone away.
>Vanessa.
>A bright girl with a bright future once, now currently a resident of her own wooden box.
>She died because of you.
>Everybody knew that, they never looked at you the same.
>You couldn’t focus in your studies, you couldn’t do work.
>Bristol became a prison, a prison of judging eyes.
>Not that you didn’t agree with them, you know it’s your fault too.
>You’re probably crying right now.
>Everything is numb right now.
>It’s not just her life that you’ve fucked up.
>Discord got wrapped up into all this because of you- and you see where that got him.
>And now Spike is going to get killed, all because of you.
>Khoa, the coward who can’t even stand up for those who care about them.
>It should have been you who died that day, not Vanessa.
>She’d be living her life, and nobody here would even have an inkling about this.
>Things would be peaceful and happy.
>But they’re not.
>Because you’re a coward.
>>
>>29815307
>Sk: “A-as fun as this is to w-watch, I think w-we should get onto the show, yes?”
>You snivel, looking up.
>Skip has his knife angled right over Spike’s neck.
>Spike’s eyes are wide with fear, he’s staring at you pleadingly.
>His eyes look like her’s when she was about to die.
>You don’t want to watch this.
>Last time you watched, and it was awful.
>Sk: “Wh-what Asmod sees in you, I have n-no clue. It p-pains me to see a creature s-so pitiful call itself a d-dragon.”
>Skip has basically launched into a monologue at this point, berating you for your cowardice.
>It’s nothing you haven’t thought of before, more confirmation if anything.
>He’s not getting “on with the show” really, but it doesn’t matter does it?
>Maybe not to you right now, but to Spike it does.
>He’s staring at you, not even blinking.
>Is this really pleading?
>His body isn’t shaking, tears aren’t flowing, he’s just staring.
>Your initial thoughts might have been wrong in regards to what he was thinking...
>Maybe it’s anger, or acceptance.
>But, maybe it isn’t.
>You return his gaze, studying his face.
>In return, Spike nods at you slightly.
>>
>>29815317
>Why did he nod?
>Does he… expect something?
>Did Vanessa expect something from you that day too?
>You have no idea, maybe she did, maybe she didn’t.
>But Spike seems to.
>And… he’s here, right now.
>You can’t forgive yourself for what happened back then, not yet.
>But sitting here and letting it happen again isn’t going to fix that.
>What can you do though?
>That doesn’t matter, you have to do something, anything.
>If you don’t, then you’ll only be adding more regrets to the long list you have.
>You’ll be letting Skip win.
>You’ll be letting /Asmod/ win.
>In the limited time you’ve known them, you’ve learned one key thing about them.
>They’re fucking scum.
>Bile is rising in your throat, all your self loathing diverting to something else.
>Them.
>These fucking assholes who think they can just walk over anybody because it services them.
>Dragons who will kill another of their kind just to prove a fucking point.
>Fuck them.
>You’ve made mistake after fucking mistake, but those were mistakes.
>These guys do shit like this on purpose.
>Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them.
K: “Fuck you!”
>Skip loses focus, looking over at you.
>>
>>29815326
>Taking the opportunity, Spike ducks away, wriggling as best he can in his bindings.
>Skip goes to try and grab him, but you’re already moving.
>Tackling Skip, you pin him against the wall.
>But the slippery bastard pushes back, knocking you down.
>He seems conflicted, his eyes dart between Spike and your door.
>Being the coward he is, they run for the door.
>No, he’s not going to get away.
>Your rage is carrying you right after him.
>Looks like you’re just as fast, if not faster than him.
>Within moments, you’re hot on his tail.
>Gritting your teeth together, you lunge.
>Both of you roll for a bit, tumbling together.
>When you stop rolling, it you who’s on top.
>The look in his eyes is full of fear.
>Good.
>Little shits like this just take and take.
>Like the asshole at the cafe that day.
>You feel the bile moving up in your throat again.
>As you go to yell at them, to just let it all, something different happens.
>Instead of your angry words, it’s blistering hot fire that comes out.
>It’s like pressure has been building up in you for ages, and it’s only just now finally getting out.
>You can only describe the sensation as fucking amazing.
>Maybe it wasn’t bile rising in your throat after all.

>You are Celestia, goddess of the sun, grand commander of the Royal Canterlot Army, and co-ruler of all Equestria and its protectorates
>And currently in the throes of a splitting headache
>Only minutes had passed since a massive wave of magical feedback washed over you
>Even your mystic prowess hadn't been able to divine anything from the blast
>It had clearly been from some being of incredible power, perhaps even dwarfing someone like Discord, who even overwhelmed you in terms of capability
>A thundering of hooves on marble alerted you to the frantic approach of another pony
>”Sister, by Tartarus what was that?”
>Luna
>It only made sense, in Canterlot she was second only to you in terms of divination
>You simply shook your head and gave her a look that told her everything
>She hung her head low, her mane dimming
>You could sympathize with her, being woken in such a violent manner would only make the feeling that you had far worse
>The sound of further galloping pulls you from your thoughts and you gather yourself
>Headache or no, you had to present yourself as a ruler
>A messenger, a white unicorn covered in sweat, slides to a halt and wearily bows, panting heavily
>You gesture for him to rise, and muster all the power you can into your voice
“What is it, Marble?”
>It was Sly Marble, a high ranking member of the Stellar Scrolls, the largest corps of diviners in the kingdom
>With your help, they established the largest communication network in the known world, stationing telepathic messengers in every city, town, and hamlet that had sprung up
>It allowed incredibly quick and accurate transmission throughout Equestria
>Marble took a deep breath, and began speaking through his heavy breathing
>>
>>29816784
>”My Princesses, an urgent message has come from one of our outposts on the border of the Gryphon Rookery!”
>The gryphons? But how could that be
>Their 'sorcerers' were leagues behind even apprentices in Equestria, hardly able to clean small wounds with their magic
>Marble inhaled again, then continued speaking
>”There was a telepathic message that was sent with such power that the unicorn manning the post had her horn shatter! But her pegasus assistant managed to reach a nearby town and alert us by telegram to this dire event.”
>The news was troubling
>The surge was powerful enough to give you a migraine certainly, but strong enough that someone near the source was crippled by it?
>What in all of creation could have such power behind it?
>Marble regained his composure and continued
>”It seems as well, princesses, that there was indeed a message in the blast. Sky High, the pegasus there, transmitted it as well.”
>He unrolled a scroll, and his words chilled you to the bone
>”The message reads, “I am Agon, the Star Eater.” Princess, do you know what that means?”
>His head cocks to the side as he give you a quizzical look
>”Is everything quite alright you majesty? You look...frightened.”
>Fighting against your dread, you still the trembling that had taken root in your wings and struggle to keep a level tone
“Thank you, Mable, for bringing this matter to us. Please, allow me some time to consult with my sister on this grave matter.”
>Marble nods slowly and backs out of the room
>>
>>29816785
>You wave your wing at the royal guards standing by the pillars
“Out, this is not a conversation for anyone but myself and Princess Luna.”
>The guards bow and march out of the room, the grand doors booming as they shut behind the troop
>Almost immediately, your wings start trembling
>You grind your teeth together, even as you hear your sister timidly approach and take a seat beside you
>”It's him.”
>You can hear the tension in her voice, a sound like she's about to burst
>It's hard to tell whether it will be with tears or in a furious tirade
“So it would seem, Luna.”
>You turn your head and see the tendons in her neck contracting repeatedly
>She turns to you and you see a manic grin stretching over her face
>”After all these ages he's come back.”
>You nod solemnly, seeing where she was going
>”I want him, sister.”
>The tension in her neck had spread over her body, leaving her wings outstretched and twitching
>A slighter grin grows on your own face
“I'll have my Dragonslayers ready within the day.”
>Luna shakes her head sharply
>”No. You maintained my Chiropt Guard did you not? Then did you not also keep the Serpens Venatori active as well?”
>You nod to her again
>She tosses her starry mane to the side as her face hardens
>”Then I will depart within the hour.”
>Luna marches solemnly towards the grand doors of the throne room
>As she open them, you hear her barking orders to the guards, until once more they slam shut, leaving you alone in the silent chamber
>A strange excitement grows in your chest as you fully take in what this means
“Good hunting sister, I pray you find our vengeance.”

Two drawfags, several writefags, and yet one of the most quiet generals in terms of discussion around. This is not related to our mutual shitposter- but maybe you guys should merge with the PTFG. At least there people talk frequently.

A lot of them already do write for ptfg I think

Dragons are something different of course but he is at least objectively correct about anonfilly.

>At least people there talk frequently.

Yeah, and if we merged they'd be talking pretty frequently about how their thread is being taken over by dragon greens. We'd be under constant flaming and you know it
>>
>>29823703
Besides the more time passes the more green and stuff we pile up making any future merging appear to be more 'Invasive'.
It's too late.

Fuck. Off. Dickcheese.
>>
>>29824232
I second this motion.
>>
>>29824232
>>29824406
Then maybe actually interact. This thread is pitiful and I stand by saying ptfg would be a better community for them.
>>
>>29823703
This Anon has it pretty much nailed down.
>>29824115
Most of us ignore the shitposting or don't let it bother us. I know I don't.
>>29824232
That's pretty rude m80 t80.
>>29824674
Not that Anon, but the vast majority of /ptfg/ do not want our content, and they have made that fact pretty vocal in the past. We became (and remain) a separate thread partially down to that fact.

The short and narrow is that most prefer that /ptfg/ is poner specific, and /dtfg/ is dragon specific. That is why we are two separate generals. On the other hand though, I personally wouldn't be against merging with /ptfg/. I think that it could benefit both threads greatly if it weren't for people letting shitposters get under their skin. More stories, more feedback, more waifus. What's not to like?
>>
>>29824946
Still, this thread is completely lacking in actual discussion. You see a couple posts on an update then what? You writefags are wasting your talent here. I only say this as a fan- this thread is a husk not worthy of the talent it has.
>>
>>29825356
I refer you to >>29824232.
>>
>>29825356
This is probably something you should ask ptfg as well. You'll see from their answer
>>
>>29824946
/ptfg/ for the most part is open to it - they've had a few dragon stories over the years which never caused any problem at the time - it was mostly a couple of retards deciding to cause problems. That said, this thread's doing okay for itself with content and there's a clear enough distinction between the two. So for the time being leave things as they are. If activity dies down in a month or two there might be a solid reason to merge.
>>
If I continue my Wanderer story, I'll probably use that 'Asmod evil academy' idea that one Anon mentioned...if anyone even wants it

i might post this next part for scylla,, defs would be keen for some crits and maybe how to tackle the next part after this

The skys are a clear deep blue with a few small fluffy clouds sprinkled here and there.
Today is the day, the strange weather has finally cleared, making way for a beautiful sunny day, where you can get ready for your big campout with scootaloo and sweetie belle.

With a big stretch you jump out of bed and make your way downstairs, the sweet smell of honey porridge and pancakes fill the kitchen, where big mac and granny are sitting at the table and applejack cooking up the last if the batter.

Aj: ah was wonderin’ when you were gonna get up

Applejack stacks up the last of the pancakes and places it in the table.

Aj: now ah won't be able ter take you camping with yer friends, but twilight wanted me and the girls tah help figure out this strange weather.

Gs: back wen i wus a filly, we had rains that could shame mer water critter of its own pound..or wus it wind so hawt it could melt tah paint from the windahs?

Granny smith, continued to ramble on as applejack shook her head with a smile, picking up her saddlebags and puts on her hat.

Aj: now ah already packed yer bags, if yew hurry up and finish yer breakfast ah can walk with ya to get scootaloo and sweetie belle.

You had only just started on your second pancake, and hadn't even touched your glass of apple juice yet.
Struggling to swallow the pancakes you had stuffed in your mouth, you are just able to get out “ ids oh kay”

Aj: alright then, just make sure yew come straight back ter the farm, ah don't want any silly business until me an twilight figure out what's been going on.

With a sigh you agree, at least you don't need to pack anything and can now fully enjoy your food.

Applejack throws packs on her back, and trots out of the room, and reminds you again to be careful and not get into any trouble.
>>
>>29829577
Your hurried pace has slowed, taking smaller bites and enjoying the warmth and sweetness of your breakfast.
The sticky golden syrups from your pancakes covers the sides if your mouth, collecting crumbs and little bits of fruit from your porridge.

Granny smith is still rambling on, but has now switched to a completely unrelated subject, big Mac has just finished his second helping of porridge and pancakes and is starting to clean up his plates and start on his chores.

It's been a long while since you had a nice big breakfast like this, but you know you'll need the energy to help keep you going as a cutiemark crusader, and this weekend is going to be different, cause this'll be the day you and the girls will finally get your cutiemarks.

After finishing your breakfast and helping granny with getting the rest of the dishes washed and put away, you decide to check over the bags applejack has packed for you.

As you look through them, you find a surplus of camping gear, way more than what you think you'd need, as well as snacks, blankets and even one of your favorite stuffed animals.

With everything packed here you're a little disappointed that applejack can't go camping with you.
Packing everything back up again you make your way to the clubhouse where scootaloo and sweetie belle should be waiting for you.

thats it now,, the next part is where scylla is found,,

We can always argue about growing thicker skin/ ignoring trolls ecc.
What I would like to know is how would merging affect the organisation of the stuff already here.
>>
>>29830804
I assume they would just make a pastebin that has all of the stories split up into sections based off of either race or maybe genre of story.
>>
I vote we don't merge ever
>>
>>29831534
Seconding.

There's no easy answer to this. I don't wanna go where I'm not welcome, but on the other hand I just can't shake the feeling that I'm writing for no one, ye know? I don't want to leave with an unfinished green, but I'm feeling discouraged to say the very least.
>>
>>29831604
I've noticed a bit more responses on my stuff recently, but I can't help but feel it's just the same few people. Feels like the Discord is the only place to get actual thought out feedback. Not trying to sound whiney, but just chiming in on what Mage had to say.

At least if they wrote there there would be active conversation a lot more often. Tell me anon, how often do you post here? Give feedback? Anything? This thread is saddening.
>>
>>29831744
You wanna know what else is saddening? You trying to get us to merge with one of the most cancerous generals on this board. Last time I'm saying this: GET FUCKING LOST, ASSBRAIN.
>>
>>29831709
I dunno' about this Anon. I may visit ptfg some time when I feel like it, but right now I'm gonna' stick around these parts with what I already know.

Maybe go and ask ptfg what they'd think about us merging with them before inviting us over. I'm gonna' stick around here until the thread actually starts dropping off of the board before reaching bump limit though.

Thanks for the support either way friendo. You're welcome at dtfg any time if you wanna read our greens.

So... is anyone up to discuss anything? Questions? Ideas?

anything I should try drawing?
>>
>>29832193
I've been wondering what people here think of tits on dragons. Personally, I like a good pair of scaly jigglers like Columba's wonderful pair of pillows (even though they make no sense). I can also see the appeal behind F L A T though, and I really like the way more feral dragons look, like Scylla. Qt, plus they got the best butts.

Hey Laskaris, you should really hop into the Discord sometime man. As for drawing ideas, nobody's taken a crack at Asmod yet.

Also- am I crazy or were you drawing a Nagito dragon?
>>
>>29832342
I wonder that too. I've never really pursued any opinion of this.
In cases such as Columba, I can't really complain. If somebody somehow likes "realism" (I don't know how in the fuck you can mix realism with dragons) they could always say that its a hump of flesh but whatever.

>>29832342
Also, magic. From what I've read of the green here so far, there are a few different ideas of how it works in relation to dragons. I figure that dragons in Equestria are a bit like ponies, except instead of friendship being magic, it's desire. Whether it's desire for gold, silver, the adoration of others, the good feeling you get when you act selflessly, books, gems, love etc etc. Each dragon has his or her own desires, and the more they fulfill those desires, the more magic they gain. Thus, the most powerful and influential dragons in Equestria are also the richest, they abound in their desires, good or evil.
As for drawing, maybe Columba? For such a pretty little drake she's got woefully little art.

Oh yeah about the discord. can we please make sure that any non-spoiler discussion stays out of discord and goes on the thread (Or share it)?
Maybe that has some of the reason why we were being quiet.

>>29832471
The discussion on the Discord is usually helping each other with updates and idea and off topic banter. I know I usually try post non-spoiler discussion here, and I believe most of us over there do the same. It's really just a fun little place to get help and just talk.

"Ok, he does look pretty cool..."
>It's at this point you hear Sweetie Belle clear her throat behind you.

>You have a hard time believing that he can see like he said he can, and you half expected him to just step on you because of how quiet you were being.

"Children. I smell evil deeds of ignorance, what ritual were you performing?"
>You look to your friends nervously.
"Did...did he just insult us?"
>SB: "I think he wants to know about the game we were playing."
>The Wanderer's booming voice interrupts your thought process.
>W: "Dark magics is no game! Rituals will lead to dark shadows. Is no place for innocence."
>You again look to the girls for an answer, but they're just as confused as you are.
>The Wanderer turns and takes a few steps toward the patch of grass where you were playing and begins tapping on the ground with his cane.
>Within a few taps, smokey black tendrils begin snaking their way out of the ground, and form humanoid shadows on the ground.
>The shadows move around in an agitated manner and soon start moaning menacingly.
>Sweetie Belle screams and backs away as far as she can before her back hits some more playground equipment.
>You aren't far behind her, you grab Scootaloo and try and drag her away but she's to enthralled in whatever nonsense is taking place.
>The shadows surround the Wanderer in a circle and begin moving in for some kind of attack.
"You attempt at my life like shades from popular '90's Earth movie, This will not work."
>He grips the head of his cane and shifts into some kind of combat stance.
>With a twist of the handle and one swift strike, he removes a blade from the body of his cane and slashes the creatures.
>You are blinded as a bright light shines off of the blade and erases the shadows from your sight.
>When he replaces the blade in its sheath, the shades are nowhere to be seen, and Scootaloo is clapping her hooves and cheering wildly.

Glad to know at least one person is following it along. I'll try and crank out another part by tomorrow night.

Also happy to take suggestions on where people might want to see the story go, or what sort of insecurities/likes/talents/personality traits/etc they want to see the character have as things go along.

I know some readers like to give input, and I'd like to incorporate stuff if I can in order to make people's reading experience a little more enjoyable without changing the core direction of where I want to take the story.

>There’s a lot of stuff from back in the human world you regret, but if you could go back… you aren’t sure if you would.
>You’ve considered this before, but now more than ever do you do you feel more attached to this world than the other one.
>This is your reality.
>Something brought you here for a reason, and you think you know why.
>Redemption.
>This is your chance to make something of yourself, something you could have never been sitting alone depressed in Rhode Island.
>Excusing yourself, you get up to leave, saying goodbye to Fluttershy.
>It’s time to get to work.
>>
>>29835838
>It’s on your walk home that you run into him.
>Asmod slinks out from behind some trees, approaching with a coy smile on his face.
>As: “I’m rather impressed Khoa, in all honesty I expected Skip to come out victorious last night. I apologize for my rash judgement.”
>Don’t let his talk get to you, just think of a way to handle this situation and get the upper hand.
K: “Well, as you can see, I’m more than equipped to handle myself.”
>As: “Indeed! Seeing you breath fire was absolutely breathtaking you know, that raw anger releasing itself in a blazing inferno…”
K: “You were… watching that?”
>He nods, his devious smile twisting further upwards.
>As: “I watch whenever I have the time to. You have been my main point of study for quite a while now Khoa.”
>That’s not creepy at all.
>Not that you expected anything less from this motherfucker.
>As: “But that is not why I am here today, not entirely anyways. What I came here to do was officially bring this stage of research to a close.”
>You raise an eyebrow.
>As: “Ever since you were brought here, I’ve taken it upon myself to watch your growth, to see if you could properly adjust to life as a dragon. I think with the display you put on last night that you have more than proven yourself.”
K: “Ever since I was brought here? Does that mean you… know how I got here?”
>As: “But of course! I brought you here after all!”
K: “That’s impossible. There’s no way a mere dragon can do something like that…”
>As: “Of course not, even I know the limits of dragon-kind. But it was not merely my power alone that allowed for such a feat. But, to best explain that, I think it would be best if you watched something.”
>He hands you a small mirror, the glass almost as black as obsidian.
>As: “Stare into that, and witness the events of nearly fifty years ago.”
>You look into it, your thoughts clouding as the scene shifts in the mirror.
>>
>>29835843
>You are the esteemed Asmod, brought before Princess Celestia in chains.
>Of course, the populous would be told you approached her in a blind rage, or something along those lines.
>Anything that makes the story a favorable one.
>They’ve stripped you of everything, taking your clothes and possessions without any form of grace.
>You have no doubt they would have removed the ink staining your claws if they had the means to clean it off, just to humiliate you.
As: “My /esteemed/ princess, you could have just summoned me, I would have made due haste to arrive.”
>She looks down at you with contempt, before using her damned magic to float something in front of your face.
>Oh, it’s your most recent publication, how nice.
As: “If you want me to sign it, I’ll have to be unchained…”
>C: “Do you honestly expect me to allow such inflammatory words to go unanswered?”
>Don’t give her any ground in this, play it all as jovial as possible.
>As much as you hate her and all she stands for, it is best to seem the innocent one of the both of you.
As: “I merely write what my kind want to read. As you know we dragons strive for riches, and inflammatory sells.”
>The princess frowns, moving closer to you.
>C: “We both know this is not true Asmod. I can see the hatred in your eyes.”
>She’s observant, you can give her that.
>C: “And such hatred can not exist in my kingdom.”
As: “Is my execution to be done in the confines of your empire, or may I be sent home to be slaughtered by own kind?”
>C: “Unlike you, I will not resort to such base violence. I instead will banish you, not from this kingdom, but from this world.”
>You frown, this is not what you had expected.
>A large mirror is brought out, pointed right at you.
As: “Perhaps this other world has others I can conquer, would you take that risk?”
>No reply.
>You can feel yourself slipping, losing your very place in reality.
As: “Long live Celestia the Tyran-”
>>
>>29835852
>Falling is such a strange sensation, and this fall was perhaps the strangest you have ever felt.
>Your body feels so different, so foreign.
>You try to fly, but you can’t feel your wings.
>They’re gone, they’re gone and you’re falling.
>Never in your life have you felt such fear.
>Celestia’s cruel joke, to kill a proud dragon by dropping him from heights.
>But you don’t die, no.
>Your impact is hard, but it does not kill you.
>When you manage to stand, you note how wrong everything feels.
>Your flesh is exposed, lacking any scales.
>The feet you’ve walked on for years now burn on the hot ground.
>The stained claws of your people are gone, stripped of anything remotely draconian.
>What are you?
>What has that Celestia done to you?
>You struggle, but manage to find a reflective surface.
>Such a strange form you’re in, taller no doubt, but lacking in so many features you were born with.
>Off in the distance, you see another one of these strange creatures.
>”Um sir, are you okay? Why are you naked?”
>Turning, you realize this one is clad in proper clothing.
>In fact, there are a few of them around you, all of them dressed as well.
>You are the odd one out it seems.
>No matter, if you are stuck here, you shall adapt.
As: “Oh my… I… I can’t seem to remember anything… And my clothes are g-gone…”
>It’s been ages since you’ve played weak and defenseless.
>But now is an apt time to dust those skills off.
>Perhaps something can come of this…
>Something more fascinating than Equestria could have ever given you...

How would AB know the word "humanoid"?

I'll use this, thanks Anon.
>>29836646
I was wondering this as well, didn't really think it took much away from the story though.
>>
>>29835859
>You are Khoa, watching the mirror slowly return to a normal state.
>As: “From there I would slowly adjust to my strange surroundings. The one thing that stuck with me most was the ingenuity of the human. Their cities rival anything the ponies could make, all without magic.”
K: “I take it you found a way back?”
>As: “Lots of time and work was neccesary, but after several years I did manage to return. My means of doing so is the same device that brought you here.”
>You have to ask, you just have to.
K: “Why me? What made me so special?”
>Asmod takes his mirror back, looking down at you.
>As: “Special? I’d hardly call you special back then. You were, for all extensive purposes a stress test. I knew all along I could bring a human here and they would become a dragon. What was uncertain however was the mental strain it would cause. So I simply found the most emotionally warped and depressed person I saw and chose them. Lucky me for finding a human right about to off thems-”
K: “Stop…”
>You're shaking again.
>All along you were just some test.
>You didn't expect to be some chosen one or anything, but this?
>It feels… cheap.
>Just a way to see if a human mind can take the shock of being a dragon.
>That's what you are.
>>
>>29837404
>As: “Don't be upset, you've proven yourself in every possible way! You're a dragon through and through.”
>It shouldn't bother you this much, but it feels like a cheap shot at your ego.
>This second chance was nothing more than a trial run.
>As: “Soon I can bring in more dragons, and build up an army capable of toppling the current regime, thanks to how perfectly you adjusted.”
>Just a part of his plan, this whole time you've been a pawn.
>Every step in feeling good about yourself has been validating his work.
>As: “I can see you are… overwhelmed. That's understandable. In three day’s time I'll bring you to my base of operations and we can work on finishing this. Goodbye for now.”
>He leaves you with that, an ominous promise.
>You don't even get any say in it, he's just going to scoop you up and bring you there.
>Three days until his perfect little test subject gets to witness the next part of his plan.
>Three days…
>You walk home, wondering about a lot of things.
>But most of all you wonder what you should do with yourself.

>In the midst of Scootaloo's cheering, you hear Sweetie Belle almost losing her mind.
>SB: "What in the world was that?!"
>Her voice has never squeaked this much before.
>You rush to Sweetie Belle's side and keep her from hyperventilating.
"Relax! Whatever those things were, they're gone now!"
>You almost get her calmed down, but just as she regains her composure, Scootaloo startles her with a show of excitement.
>She runs up to you, stands on her hind legs and pantomimes the Wanderer's fight.
>Sc: "Did you see that?! He was all- 'whooosh!' And he took out all of those things in one swing!"
>Her reenactment is interrupted by the Wanderer's booming voice.
>W: "Rejoice in the fall of darkness, but no celebration. This not over..."
>You feel your words failing you as you talk to him.
"Y-you mean...there's m-more?"
>You hear an excited gasp from Scootaloo beside you.
>Sc: "We should get Rainbow Dash! She could help fight!"
>You shoot her a disapproving look.
"What we /need/ to do is take him to Twilight. She'll know howta stop this."
>Scootaloo drops her head and lets out a sigh.
>Sc: "yeah...I guess..."
>W: "This Twilight. Is she also stalwart defender of light? A warrior of absolution? A herald of justice?!"
>Sc: "That sounds more like Rainbow Dash, but Twilight is pretty good too."
>W: "Lead me to paladins children."
>Scootaloo flashes you a toothy grin as she brushes past you and leads the Wanderer to Twilight'a castle.
>SB: "But wait, why would a silly game that Granny Smith used to play summon monsters? She wouldn't have told us about it if she knew what it did..."
>>
>>29838453
>You are Asmod, Inkclaw, the Mad Scholar, and most importantly: the draconic Dean of The Academy of Evil!
>...Not your best work when it comes to names, but the actions of the academy matter more than its name.
>You lift your head up from the paper you had been writing all morning and take in your new office.
>You had it made to your specifications, with amenities from Earth to make it look like it was from their 1950's era. You always did like their style...
>You also had a special solid gold name tag for your desk. Dragons still have to have their treasures after all.
>The light from your window gleams off of the gold, and shines against your pitch black scales that aren't covered by your tattered robe.
>Yoy were going to trade your robes in for something nicer, but you don't want to forget where you came from...
>Speaking of that, you catch a glimpse of a small reflection of yourself in the gold. Your two broken horns stand out to you in particular.
>Maybe you'll get them fixed one day...
>You lean back in your seat and admire the numerous awards that hang around your office. You're almost running out of wall space, but you don't want to take down your motivational posters.
>You especially enjoy the poster of a monster putting a cat in a tree, with bold text at the bottom that reads: "Enjoy the little things."
>You'll have to take one of them down to make room for your newest awards however.
>You lean down and pick up a box next to your desk with a stack of plaques in it.
>'most competent villain,' 'Teacher of the year,' 'most Earth felonies committed in one hour,' 'Best use of an evil league to date.'
>You set the box on your desk and stand up from your chair, walking over to the window with your arms behind your back.
>You stare out at the massive campus and admire your achievements.
>You think back to how it all started...
>>
>>29838735
>It was Skip, your little kobold minion...
>You out a lot of faith in him and even gave him simple tasks, and he still failed you in the end.
>As you read about the tyrants of history and even journeyed to far away places and experienced some similar things yourself, you grew increasingly tired with the incompetence of minions in general.
>You had the chaos deity Discord in captivity, but you released him on the condition that he give you a portal to other worlds. Thus began your true adventures...
>It wasn't long before you realized that it wasn't /just/ the minions, but villains as a whole who made so many needless mistakes throughout the many dimensions you visited.
>You dreamed of a world where you could team up with like-minded individuals, and have them pull their own weight...
>So you laid the groundwork for an institution that would take the best of the best, and train the less...mentally fortunate.
>You made classes for marksmanship, that they may actually hit their targets. You made speech classes, to shorten up a few monologues to five minutes at most, but mainly to encourage the villain to take the kill if they have it. The most important addition has to be the minion boot camp, so villains can employ cheap labor like goblins and kobolds and get more bang for their buck. Anger management and rehab facilities have been put in place as well, all toward the goal of generally more competent evil-doers.
>You look down to the firing range as a number of students fire upon a still-standing 'good-guy' dummy and miss every shot.
>You let out a satisfied sigh.
"They'll learn...eventually."

>Your contemplative silence is broken by a knock at your office door.
>You beckon your visitor inside, and in walks another one of your kobold minions.
>'Wick,' 'Wicks,' 'Wax?' You'll be honest, you don't even remember his name...
>He never got the chance to prove his worth before all of this started, but you threw him into the classes anyway just to be sure he was worthy.
>You greet him, turning only your head away from your window.
"Greetings....wax?"
>Your minion kneels before you.
>"Lord Asmod, I bring news about your latest experiment."
>Hey, you must have guessed his name right!
"You'll have to be more specific, Wax, I run many experiments these days."
>Wa: "The new changes you made to ritual requirements...for those shades."
>You bring one of your hands below your chin and try recalling.
>Bits and pieces come back to you. You step away from the window and return to your desk.
>Sifting through the pile of papers on your desk, you eventually come across a small folder with some runes on the cover.
>It all comes back to you as you read the opening pages.
"Ah, yes, I remember now. The ritual required to summon those shades was far to complicated. It required Latin verses, arcane circles and a blood offering! They only ever got summoned by adolescents who found a damned book somewhere, so I told them to make the requirements to summon them a lot more relaxed..."
>Wa: "Well, it appears they've chosen an old children's game for their new ritual, and-"
"No no no, must I hold everyone's hand? If you target /only/ children, you will have monster hunters on you in no time! Send them back to me at once!"
>Wax suddenly becomes quiet and he refuses to look in your direction.
>Wa: "That's the thing...they've been vanquished."
"WHAT?!"
>You shoot up from your desk, and Wax shrinks away from you.
>Wa: "P-please, don't kill me!"
>You let out an exasperated sigh, and just seethe until you don't see red anymore.

>There’s a lot you could do honestly.
>First, you could go along with what Asmod wants and help usher in a new age of draconian rule.
>That doesn’t sound appealing in the slightest to you.
>Asmod is scum and his plans just spell doom for those who have taken care of you since you’ve gotten here.
>A bit of guilt wells up inside of you, Asmod was using all of this as an experiment, all the things you’ve felt recently were exactly what he wanted.
>You to grow to like living here.
>It’s degrading the whole experience to you.
>Your next option is to confront him.
>That most definitely would not end well for you, Asmod is so much stronger than you and the element of surprise is practically gone with him being able to constantly watch you.
>Running away is just as impossible, he can watch your every move as you’re making it.
>Your mind drifts to the possibility of suicide for a moment.
>End yourself before he can use you.
>The very thought makes you cringe.
>It’s almost funny in a way, the desire for death brought you here- and now you can’t bring yourself to even consider it.
>Asmod’s plan in this regard worked perfectly.
>You don’t want to leave.
>This is your home.
>Your home.
>He gave you a home only to hand you a torch and instruct you to burn it to the ground.
>Could you ever do that?
>Even if up till this point you’ve been everything Asmod ever wanted you to be, could you do such a thing?
>You can’t say for sure.
>>
>>29840866
>It doesn’t take you very long to get back to your house.
>Although it’s sad to think about, you hardly ever walk back here in a good mood.
>Something comes by and sours things up before you step through the door.
>These next few days may be all the time you have left in the world, or at least as a free dragon.
>Either Asmod cuts you down or you play along with his plans.
>There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground in all of this.
>You could try to bargain with him, but you know he won’t budge.
>The anger and spite he feels is too deeply rooted in him to stop anywhere short of genocide.
>No matter what you think of, it feels like Asmod has you in checkmate.
>The best you can feasibly hope for is the horde of dragons he makes turns on him.
>But that’s just as unlikely as him compromising.
>Although your time is limited, all you want to do is take a nap right now.
>Crawling into bed, you close your eyes, waiting for sleep to take you.
>It comes fairly quickly, but it is not a dreamless sleep.
>In this dream, you’re sitting in an all too familiar room.
>Your old apartment.
>>
>>29840879
>The television is on, ironically tuned to an episode of My Little Pony.
>You don’t recognize the episode, guess even your dream couldn’t give enough fucks to pull up a real one.
>Discord is currently on screen, taunting Twilight like he normally does.
>Or normally /did/, he isn’t doing much of anything anymore.
>D: “Do you honestly think that just because how they got here was bad that somehow negates any good they’ve done? I expected more from the so called princess of /friendship/!”
>The line catches your attention, your eyes are fixed to the small screen with an intense focus.
>Discord turns to face the screen, breaking the fourth wall isn’t entirely out of character after all.
>D: “It doesn’t matter how you got here, what matters is what you do with that.”
>It almost shocks you awake when you hear that.
>There’s no doubt that was directed anywhere but at you.
>He fucking said “you” for fuck’s sake.
>Is Discord somehow reaching you in your dreams?
>No, he would have contacted you days ago if that was the case…
>Maybe your mind is using him to deliver a message, like your subconscious or some shit?
>You admittedly never took a Psych course.
>But still, if this /is/ your mind, that’s kind of fucked up.
>Looking to Discord for guidance and all is… not normal to say the least.
>Yet, during all of this, he has been the only one you could openly talk to.
>Share your past with, even if he would be a dick about it.
>In some fucked up way, it makes sense your mind would use him to tell you this.
>The message is almost laughably simple, but it’s one you seemingly neglected.
>Who the fuck cares how you got here?
>Doesn’t mean you have to be like them, right?
>You sure as hell don’t /want/ to work with Asmod.
>As the dream begins to fade away, you mentally cross working with him off the list of options.
>Looks like you have some work on your hands.
>>
>>29840890
>The dream, though a convenient slap in the face to make you come to your senses, gave you no idea on how to actually deal with Asmod.
>But this isn’t just going to be the next movement of the emotional pendulum you’ve been on this whole time.
>You’re going to put in all the effort you can muster to end this.
>It’s scary to think about, downright petrifying, but you have to.
>The fate of everybody you care about is at stake.
>Going to Celestia or anybody else right now will only force Asmod into acting hastily and starting his plan.
>You’re doing this to avoid a bloodbath, not make it happen faster.
>No, nobody can get involved in this.
>Just you then, against a genius who can knock you down with a flick of his tail.
>You don’t like these odds in the slightest.
>Skip was a challenge enough, and he was around your size.
>Asmod is huge and smart.
>But you can’t let yourself get bogged down anymore.
>God knows you get bogged down easily.
>Asmod’s talk is enough to bring you down, or at least it was.
>You can’t let that happen this time, you can’t let him.
>You have to recognize that he’s spewing bullshit, and that you’re better than that.
>Easier said than done though.
>>
>>29840897
>It’s the second of your three days before he comes to get you.
>In all honesty you don't ķnow what to do with the time.
>You're so anxious about all of this, you just want it to be over with.
>You decided you won't say goodbye to anyone.
>If things go sour it would be best if they didn't know.
>And if things go well, you'll have only been gone a day.
>At one point in your waiting around, you come across something.
>Skip’s knife.
>He lost it in the scuffle, and it's currently nestled next to a cabinet.
>It's pretty much the only weapon you have…
>Hoping Asmod isn't currently watching, you bend over and grab it.
>You thrust it into your coat pocket without a second thought.
>It probably won't help much but it's something.
>The day is quiet.
>No visitors, nothing happening, it's just you and your thoughts.
>All your fear, anxiety, anger, everything is just stewing.
>Things are going to be over soon.
>Hopefully it's a happy ending.
>>
>>29840903
>You spend the third day waiting mostly.
>You're too antsy to do anything else.
>At one point you tried to read but just couldn't get into it.
>Not much longer until you try to deal with a powerful threat to the whole world by yourself.
>And you thought working as a detective was stressful.
>This is a whole new level of uncomfortable.
>The thought occurs to you that Discord tried to stop Asmod, or at the very least interfered, and failed.
>Can you really succeed in what a deity couldn't?
>It's possible.
>Asmod at least trusts you, he was no doubt wary of Discord from the get go.
>Still though, you're glad you can’t run the odds of anything you do working.
>Late that night you head outside to wait.
>He’ll probably come soon, especially if he checks on you and sees you waiting.
>Sure enough, roughly half an hour later he shows up.
>As: “Are you prepared?”
>You nod, not uttering a word.
>He motions for you to follow him, and the two of you begin a quiet trek into the wilderness.
>There’s no small talk to pass the time, it’s just both of you walking further and further.
>For you, the moment couldn’t feel more sober, but you can tell Asmod walks with a deep pride in his work.
>Even if this kills you, seeing the look on his face when you reject everything he’s worked towards might just be worth it.
>>
>>29840907
>The trek leads you to a large, gnarled cave far out from town.
>Ominous, but nowhere you would have ever checked if looking for him.
>You’d expect him to take residence in some palace or something, not a cave.
>The inside is lit with lamps and candles, giving the whole structure an eerie glow.
>In the middle of the room, a stone statue sits.
>You can’t bring yourself to look at it for more than a moment.
>Beyond that, there’s work tables and shelves, very fitting for a mad scientist.
>Would he be a scientist? He’s definitely not a mage…
>It’s not the time to be debating such asinine things though.
>As: “I am glad you came willingly, it speaks to your growth remarkably. Now then, I’m sure you want to see how I’ve been able to do so much.”
>Before even giving you a chance to reply, he leads you to the far end of the cave.
>There, fixed to the wall of the cave, sits a massive mirror.
>It’s very similar to the smaller one you looked at a few days ago, but you get a strange feeling from this one.
>As: “I focused this mirror of mine on something very specific, and thus am able to harness that power as I please. It’s not exactly like using it, but this reflection is all I need. Can you tell me what this is reflecting.”
K: “The Elements of Harmony?”
>He shakes his head.
>As: “A good guess, considering what happened to your friend, but not quite right. I’ve focused this mirror on Princess Celestia herself. And, by extension, the things she has access to.”
K: “How is that even possible?”
>As: “It’s a product of two worlds, though I left your home world years ago, I didn’t leave empty handed. Then with some enhancements, I was able to make a very basic model of what you see before you. Once I was sure it worked, I was able to freely go back and forth over the past several years and upgrade it.”
>>
>>29840912
>As: “And now, after many years and lots of planning, we can finally bring in a new age. I’ll need your help of course, these new dragons will be in a position similar to yours, your guidance will mold them into proud dragons such as us.”
>Your throat is starting to feel dry, it’s going to be time soon.
>Do or die Khoa.
>As: “That outfit was a good idea by the way, something familiar for them to latch onto.”
>Oh right, your Harvard hoodie.
>There’s a reason you haven’t taken this off in the past couple days, so you’d have to agree it was a “good idea”.
>Now if only you could stab the knife you’re hiding into his fucking neck…
>But maybe you don’t have to.
>There’s another thing you could hit.
>The mirror.
>The moment you go to do it, he’s going to be on you though.
>As: “Come now, I already have an apt first choice.”
>He gestures towards the mirror, the image ripples before focusing on an average human male sitting in a room.
>They look happy, not overjoyed, but content.
>Maybe you’ve gained from this, but they probably won’t.
>Just looking at this innocent human fills you with all the courage you need.
K: “I’ll do it Asmod, if you allow me.”
>He looks a little surprised, but pleased.
>As: “But of course, that’s showing initiative! Now you just simply-”
>You’re already walking over towards it.
>>
>>29840920

>D: “What did you expect? Some big final battle? A battle of brains and brawn? Things don’t really work that way Khoa. You should be glad it ended like it did, if I didn’t get out as quick as I did, you could have been in real trouble!”

>Thanks to Discord, all your wounds healed quickly and all evidence of Asmod ever returning was wiped away.
>All evidence except a single blade, the one you used to shatter the mirror.

Update, or more to the point, lack thereof:

Will still hang around the thread, but I'm dropping my name after this post as it won't be needed for the time being. I'll bring the name back if and when I have content to deliver.

>inb4blogpost
Come get me you shitposting faggot.
>>
>>29846043
Don't concern yourself too much with other writers and their skill, just keep writing and focusing on your own thing. If you think another writer is better than you, ask them questions. Like whenever you read something they wrote or a part of something they wrote and it's really good, ask them what went into writing that. Or write a post that'll lead them naturally into explaining what they were thinking when they wrote that.
Then see if you can use that to improve your own writing. There's no need to rewrite the whole thing either you goof, Dazed and Wonderland are excellent so far. See you again soon.

Artists and writers tend to fall into a pit of self scrutiny and that occasionally happens to me. Taking a good look an what you've done and examining it for mistakes and any possible improvements is a healthy sign for any creative person. But keeping it to yourself does not allow anyone to judge your work and validate your assessments.

Besides, I do this for fun. Reputation doesn't really matter when you're anonymous.
Good luck.

Not asking you to start any green, but posting almost anything on topic from a question, to ideas, to thoughts would be awesome.

>>29852013
Wonderland is taking too long to get anywhere and is confusing as hell, >>29852012 , and "wanderer" is based off of a shitposter.

Two problems. Firstly, the story itself is just awful.
Secondly, the entire story is tainted with the memory of that asshole.

>>29852091
What about Kolaghan? Any thoughts on their green having just ended or what they should write next? I think they were asking about possible ideas earlier.

I miss writing for you guys, just difficult to get inspired when it feels like I'm writing for an empty thread. Thanks for the support m80 t80.
>>29851878
Appreciation goes a long way m8. Writers need positive feedback as much as they need criticism. It keeps the balance healthy.
>>29851886
It's been a pleasure shitposting with you gentlemen.
>>29852027
In that case, give constructive criticism to writers instead of saying "it's shit." If you want people to improve, explain /why/ it's shit.
>>29852057
If you find Wonderland confusing and too long and drawn out, /tell me/, I can't read minds Anon. I've only posted two parts so far, and the reason I stopped posting is down to a lack of feedback from readers. It's difficult to improve on a story if nobody tells you what is good about it and what is bad about it.

I've said from day one: I'm always open to criticism and suggestions for my stories, so by all means, speak the fuck up if you're not enjoying it. I can't change what you don't like otherwise.
>>
>>29852052
So, Kolaghan, do you have any initial idea for your next story or you'd prefer us to throw some ideas around? I wouldn't honestly mind some Dimitri for shit and giggles.
>>
>>29852119
1. I just did tell you.
2. You forgot your name.
>>
>>29852130
You did just tell me you found it drawn out and confusing, yes, but can you explain exactly what aspects of the story are making it so for you? That's where I'm struggling mate, I can't solve issues unless you explain /exactly/ what they are, and /exactly/ what aspects of the story make it so confusing for you.

I rarely namefag unless I write. Don't see the point.
>>
>>29852162
There's practically NOTHING happening in your story and I can't even tell whether she's in Equestria or not.
>>
>>29852121
Well, I'm kind of considering a MC from a mild dystopia seeking "freedom" and through some way or another they wind up in dragon territory. But like I said, I'm really open to ideas.
>>
>>29852212
>Dmitri escapes gulag
There you go. Now do it, slave.
>>
>>29852209
>Two short parts in
>Nothing happening
There's your answer to that. It's under 100 lines in. What do you expect?

I thought I made it pretty obvious that she wasn't in Equestria with:
>You rarely encounter any members of humanity these days, y'know.. Since "it" happened, but it /can/ happen, and that's enough for you to want to keep as many eyes off of you as is possible.
>Humanity don't take too well to big dark green upright walking lizards with spines and all that jazz it seems, and you can't say you really blame them. It probably would have weirded you out as well once upon a time.
>It especially tends to freaks them out when you start to speak in fluent English.

If you have any tips on how I can make it clearer for you, lemme' know, but I really thought I was being as obvious as is possible.

I agree with this.
A tip for anyone who writes:
Don't spoonfeed information to your readers. Especially when writing in the common format '>You are Anon'.
Stories like these allow the reader to figure out what's going on and explore a new world, just like Anon does in the story.

In the meantime enjoy a minigreen:
>You are Anon.
>You should be at your dwelling doing whatever Anon does.
>But you are not.
>Instead you are in Equestria.
>Oh yeah, you are also a dragon.
>How do you know?

>Oh, you still have those with you? but what about your clothes and your wallet that you always keep in your pockets?
>Just like you do with your /pocket/ mirror and /portable/ GPS? (Also how did it work, mind you?)
>You are in Equestria.
>Magic.
>Also you would have been surprised concerning the current situation you find yourself in.

>>29855532
Most of the writers and two of the artists. Pretty sure that Dragonlord Kolaghan, Treasure Mage, Punki, Purple-Blep, Rot, Woofr, Synergy, and Primusings are all for the move. If I'm wrong about any of those names, chip in and tell me, that's just what I've drawn from this.

Where do they think they are, saturday book club? We're no fucking professional critics, and even if we like or dislike something, we may just think some witty remark and move on without ever posting it. Or we may just post something along the lines of "I like thing, make more of that thing." or "Fuck off." and that'll be it - a breathtaking eloquence and sophisticated opinions.

issue is, a lot of them aren't getting even that. see >>29845261, >>29838986, and >>29808021. these guys get very little response from their readers, and as a writer, I can imagine that blows big time.

I guess I get where you're coming from, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's boring as all hell to post in a dead bump-fest thread. I'd rather go to a lively place.
>>
>>29855906
Silence is boring though. You don't get anything out of silence. It's discouraging to put time and effort into something and get absolutely nothing. When I finished gold standard I got about 3 comments, one of which was from another writer. I don't expect a full blown critique but what's keeping me here? Why start a new green here when nobody has any feelings about it? I'm just throwing it in the air and hoping somebody catches it at that point. I post on the ptfg and see replies, and actual conversation. Nobody talks here, any questions I or anybody else post here are basically just bumps. Nobody posts ideas or thoughts, it's just dead air that we're trying to fill.
>>
>>29855943
>>29855946
I blame Discord.
>>
>>29855969
The Discord focuses mostly on helping with green and random conversation not on topic with the thread. It's basically the writers and artists talking random shit and helping each other. I think not having the Discord would have hurt the thread far more than not having it at all.
>>
>>29855946
Look, why not stop worrying about this and try to talk about something else?
This sentiment of insecurity is just infectious, spreading and worrying other people. Replace the talk with another topic.

I heard you were thinking about what to write. Do you want to elaborate?
>>
>>29855988
I've tried drumming up conversation before, but it doesn't really happen. Maybe I'd get a comment or two if I tried discussing my idea- (usually one being a shit post), but then the thread will die down again. It's not insecurity, it's frustration. As much as I'd like to discuss my next green, there wouldn't be much discussion.
>>
>>29856008
Alright fine I get it its frustrating. But just now I showed interest to what you have planned (Sorry I was asleep earlier timezone's a bitch) and basically what you just told me is that you would talk about it, but you won't since no one cares.

What??
>>
Just tell us about your green already.
Or maybe tell us to tell you what to tell us in your new green you told us about.
And since we got talking, how about throwing Anon the dragon in not-Ponyville instead - some village on the outskirts of Equestria? Maybe get him to befriend/burn/both, if it's their fetish, some changelings or any other race.
>>
>>29856034
I'm just explaining where I'm coming from, and how even trying to start conversation seem futile, granted, I could have done so better and should try to hold conversation if someone offers and I apologize for that. Felt more like you were trying to shut down concerns by changing the topic than actually being interested- but that could very well have been me reading too much into it.

I have a very basic idea, I think I actually posted yesterday about it here, basically the anon lives in a mild dystopia, very oppressive and shitty society. Through means I haven't figured out, they wind up in dragon territory.
>>
>>29856081
alright, its fine. I try to change the topic too because I believe that complaining about it wont solve much.

So... what would anon be like? or would that go into spoiler territory?
>>
>>29856081
>"Out the oven and into the lava"
Also in dystopian societies people don't pay much attention to safety in secret experiments, since their livelihood and even the life itself often hinges on it's success.
Something something secret nazi bunker, something something failed time machine/dimensional door test. Also alternative history where Nazi Germany won makes for a decent dystopian setting, after a fashion. With the beginning taking place either somewhere shitty in the German Empire itself, or in any of the enslaved subhuman nations where the good Doktor Hans decided to set up the shop.
>>
>>29856113
They definitely have a desire for a more free existence, but are your average joe and have no skills or ideas to take said freedom. I'm thinking a female anon, but I might just make them male for balance sake. I think I'm going for a sort of dry cynic with them. Khoa could be that way at times, but not at a high level.
>>
>>29856122
Yeah sure that is a point to consider.
Then again I'm not sure what this 'society' will be like and asking for any info is kind of asking for too much.
Although I would hope its not a Nazi 2.0 scenario.
(Which probably won't be since its a /mild/ dystopia)
>>
>>29856135
>They definitely have a desire for a more free existence, but are your average joe and have no skills or ideas to take said freedom.
Are we talking "I yearn freedom but have no idea what to do with it" 1984-dystopia average party member or "America in 10 years" modern day-dystopian average Joe Beta Cuckston?
>>
>>29856159
More towards the second one, they just really think their world is shitty and want out.
>>
>think
that implies that the world isn't that bad.
Is that true?

>>29856192
It's not flat out awful, but its getting there. Sort of like 1984- lite.

I don't deny what the op says but there's clearly a bias against dragons. what is the thread's actual thoughts?

that op is like 3 years old.

I probably would move there if the flaming could be minimized. Would probably get a new name, seeing as how I have a green over there under a different name too and would just consolidate.

The thread's actual thoughts are: TF of any kind is allowed. The shitposters assertions and complaints are that they only want pony tf. Simple solution, ignore them and post your stories anyway.

Stopped right there. Course I don't trust them to use it. It's fucking 4chan. There's always going to be two or three dumb cunts shitposting in every thread. And three times that amount in every general. You're never going to find a place that is completely free of the sort of people who will shitpost at you. And if you do, then it's because the thread is dead or its a circlejerk. It doesn't matter. For every one shit poster, there's two people reading your story and one person replying to it.

Yes I agree. I said that because there's no point in telling anons what to do. Don't get me wrong.

I like trains.
What if mechanical Clockwork dragon anyone? dragon in Equestria? Found by none other than Doctor Whooves aka that madman who constantly explodes things and starts fires.
Or just have his scaly ass captured and subsequently recruited for Equestrian SCP analog to search and secure dangerous artifacts, since he'd be more durable than the meatbags erroneously called guards.
>>
>>29856964

So you mean an actual machine?
How would that work though?

Dunno. Took the idea from that CYOA prompt image thingy.
Basically, some kind of esoteric machine in a form of a dragon. Built-in guns, missile and torpedo launchers, high-powered lasers and flamethrowers are entirely optional.

Regarding how it works: it powers itself through either electricity or magic, generating one or absorbing the other, if it's heavy on the esoteric part, in other words, if it's a magical construct.
How you generate electricity is completely up to you and your dragon's starting loadout - the type of a generator it came with or didn't, works either way to put it simple. Ethanol-powered cyber-dragon, anyone?
Alternatively, he could absorb magic and release it when needed in a tight focused beam of pure destruction.

And, by the virtue of being 100% mechanical, short for organic mind, he represents the order, causing Discord a great deal of discomfort with his very presence.
It would be even more interesting if both magical and non-magical energy sources could be used to power him, essentially transmuting arcane energies into their "orderly" form of electricity.
>>
Could someone please point me towards some green that contains romance?
>>
>>29857794
Tonic has some romance, and Daze and Khoa are a couple so some of Equestria 5-0 and Punki's crossovers have romance in them.
>>
>>29857763
Not gonna lie, I'm digging the idea of a mechanical dragon in magical horseland. I think I'll try something about this later tonight.
>>
It's later tonight now. Here's the start of something.

>You are in pain. Lots of pain.
>One minute you were sitting at your computer.
>Then the damn thing starts exploding at your feet and zapping everything in sight.
>Now you’re in a lab.
>Your limbs feel stiff.
>You still feel the tingling pain of being electrocuted.
>And you’re pretty sure a few brain cells died, making you effectively a vegetable or at least somewhat handicapped.
??:Oh goodness! Is it awake? Did I work?
>You look over and see a horse.
>Big eyes, brown coat, and an hourglass on its ass.
>Also a bowtie for some reason.
??: Hah hah yes! I did it! Results this quickly and just with the prototype! I barely had to use magic for this one!
>Why is the horse talking? Horses don’t talk. They don’t wear bowties either but that’s not important. And what’s this about a prototype?
>You open your mouth to talk, but nothing comes out.
??: Now let’s see, I just need to make a few additions to the model and everything should be order. Why doctor, you’ve outdone yourself this time!
>You try moving.
>It’s all very stiff and unnatural, but you find yourself propped up on this examination table in no time.
>You look down at yourself and notice why things feel stiff.
>Every bit of you looks like some steampunk fanatic threw gears together into a humanoid shape.
>Brass covers you from head to toe and you’re just looking at your skeleton.
>Frankly, you feel a bit naked.
>The good doctor didn’t notice you getting up.
>He was looking over something with a pencil in his mouth. Yeah he probably built whatever you are now.
>Why not show him how well his “prototype” works.

>You stand up quickly notice how off balance you feel.
>There’s a large limb sticking out by your ass and your feet feel very off.
>As you look back and notice the start of a skeletal tail, you lose your balance and fall over with a loud crash.
>At least you confirmed that pain is still something you feel.
??: Gah! You’re already walking? Oh dear!
>Dr. Horse drops what he’s doing and lends a hand (hoof?) to help you up.
??: This certainly wasn’t in the original design at all! You shouldn’t be able to walk until I finish your balance stabilizer.
>He means tail, right? Just call it a tail like a normal person.
??: Can you understand me? Can you talk?
>You nod your head and mouth the word “no”

>Honestly, between waking up as a bunch of clockwork built by a genius horse and learning that he built an iron man core above you as your heart.
>The core makes you the most worried.
>That’s your heart now. How long can you last without it? Can you last without it?
>How far do these cables reach? What happens if you get unplugged?
>You’d be hyperventilating, but you don’t have lungs anymore.
>There’s just a rattling sound of your skeleton starting to jitter.
>Just in time for your apparent creator to walk back in with a weird speaker in his mouth.
>He sets it down next to you, still shaking and rattling.
??: Good heavens, are you okay?
>You shake your head.
??: Not to worry! I’ll have your voice box installed in just a moment so you can properly communicate. Lay down for me, please.

>You look around frantically and see a glimpse of something.
>A stream of stars along a flowing blue mist.
>All emanating from something.

“Did I just fucking die!?”

I like the idea and find your writing style kinda fun. The thing I'd have to say against it tho it's that all characters speak in normal text colour. I'm not very used to this and it sticks off.
>>
>>29860633
I'm begging you, with tears in my eyes, for the love of God, please don't start abbreviating names. It's annoying as fuck.
>>
>>29861773
I wonder though, how would you go fixing this?
Most writers do abbreviation and we never discussed how we can soften it down.
>>
>>29861773
I use abbreviated names, is there something else more aesthetically pleasing I could be using?
>>
>>29861916
If it's just two characters talking you can generally follow who's saying what with out any kind of guide

If you feel the need to clarify who's speaking you could always do "(dialog) said X" it would take up a little extra room, but it would look nicer

Think I might take a short break from writing here. I write on two other threads and want to show them a little more love, and I'm not entirely sure what to do with my small idea for a new green or the state of this thread. I'll be around here and on the Discord but I don't think you'll be seeing big green dumps happening. If I have some big spark of inspiration or something I'll roll with it, but right now I've just got little steam for a new green over here and more eager demand on my other generals.

Ok, here's a few story ideas for fun.

>Anon is a business tycoon or just a millionaire living a comfortable life.
>They do what they do best, earning money with their expertise and good fortune.
>They find themselves in Equestria. Most likely in the dragonlands.
>Also they are now a dragon.
>Unknowing to anon, the reasons for this might have to do with their apparent greedy lifestyle.
>Anon would later find out about the selfish traits of dragonkind after meeting with them.
>Being a money grubber themselves, anon does not really end up at odds with dragons.
>They do have one thing in mind though...
>Try to rid of the dragon's berserk and rogue ways that are uncomfortable to anon and channel their greed into a more productive way.
>Profit... ?


>/mlp/ anon finally gets their wish granted to be taken to Equestria.
>Their body also seems to have changed to further match up with the new universe.
>Even better!
>Wait...
>Anon is not a pony, they are a dragon.
>Things did not go to plan for anon it seems.


>An anon couple end up in Equestria and turn into a pony and a dragon.
>Use your imagination.
>Who turns into what exactly?
>Are they MLP fans? Do they know what they got themselves into?
>Maybe they switched genders too?
>Is romance even attempted?


Also this one:
>>29809643
>>
>>29861827
>>29861916

When there are only two speakers, you could use a dialogue chain going back and forth once you make it obvious whose talking. When it's not a back and forth thing, though, you could just write it as is standard

For example, let's say there's a character talking named X. I would write the dialogue as "Wonderful weather we're having," said X.
