Emerald has to admit that what Joyride told the wasp is probably true. If she was let out she would almost certainly be killed. At the very least captured.

Emerald decides to tell her about some of the places he's been during his adventures. He talks of the city outside this room, of the Zebralands, and of the sea and how it is to be on a boat.

Emerald doesn't intend to reveal too much, but Joywasp is making it difficult. She keeps asking for details, and though Emerald never lies directly he also doesn't tell her the full truth.

Joywasp leans back in her pool and stares up at the fake sky in contemplation. After some time Ruby asks,

"So you ever think of leaving this pool and checking out what's out there?"

"No. Like I said I'm quite comfortable here. I've been told that once I become a true queen I'll have difficulty moving under my own power, but as long as I can get stories like these I think I will be content." She says, still looking up at the sky.

Emerald asks if she is sure.

She pauses, and then says, "I think I am, yes."

What does Emerald do?

>>29782281
Tell her she should at least come see our library. she would not be in the city long enough to be seen and nobody is going to bat an eyelid at anything strange coming in and out of that door anyway.

>>29782281
Well if she's fine being here we might be able to come here once in a while to share a story or two.

>>29782298
That can't be a good idea. For when, we don't know if she can read. Two, she is content to lounge in a pool of honey, which should bee (joke hue hue hue) enough for a proto queen.

>>29782196
You've played limbo? How was it?

>>29782359
We can teach her to read you know.
besides it would be absurd for us not to share the joys of books with her.

cannot hurt to ask her at least. she probably will not even agree to come.

>>29782379
Also if joy indeed did not teach her to read we should get really mad at her.

>>29782379
She won't insta learn how to read on the first session anon, and we would have to do this every time Joyride gets plastered. Which could be in another few weeks.

>>29782382
So you want to tell Joyride we talked to the little queen? I am ok with this.

>>29782412
>So you want to tell Joyride we talked to the little queen? I am ok with this.
Only if Joy did not teach her to read. it seems something we would be consumed by righteous anger over. I think it is important we not let her stay here though she needs to explore before she gets rooted at least.

>>29782417
>it seems something we would be consumed by righteous anger over
No. No I can't see Emerald going "REEEEEEEE" over someones lack of formal education. If that were the case, then players and Emerald should be like that 24/7 since some people in the country side (ex: farmers) and some in the city (ex: Ruby) don't know how to read or write.

>"No. Like I said I'm quite comfortable here. I've been told that once I become a true queen I'll have difficulty moving under my own power, but as long as I can get stories like these I think I will be content." She says, still looking up at the sky.

>Emerald asks if she is sure.

>She pauses, and then says, "I think I am, yes."
Let the queen do what she want. Just come back with a story or two after our next adventure.

>>29782473
Yes but joy can read and as far as Emerald is concerned she is old enough to know better then to deny that to somebody.
>the bee won't want to.
it cannot hurt to fucking ask she will grow to regret never going on any journys before she got rooted.

>>29782504
We already asked her. She said she's fine where she is.

>>29782513
We asked her as a general question sometimes you can persuade somebody on something they were initially against by being more specific.

>>29782522
We can always bring her a book.

>>29782504
>>29782298

no let's not suggest that.

>>29782281
Ask her what the handmaiden's role is for Ruby.

>>29782281
Boop for queen?

I remember Emerald, and i think one other pony blushing from hoops. Is there any intimate value with the action?

>>29782281
we should probably leave. Say we are happy to meet her.

>>29782298
Seconding this. I really wanna see what subject she asks for.

>>29782298
dude no. Joyride has already have Joymoon spying on this place. We are risking a lot as is.

>>29782581
>oyride has already have Joymoon spying on this place
So she already fucking knows we came.

>>29782597
Do you want to make it worse though?

>>29782597
When someone knows you're doing something you shouldn't be doing, and you're aware that they know, that does not mean you continue. It's simple logic.

>>29782281
Ask what's Ruby's role in this. If I'm supposed to father you children? How does pregnancy with your species work?

>>29782641
Wait disregard this I am retarded I forgot I already seconded that suggestion. The paranoia is still getting said though.

>>29782281
Ask bee if can read. If can, offer book. Do not take bee.
We might get int trouble with Joyride when she finds out we're here, but taking the bee out could cause more damage and could go from a pissed off Joy, to a Joy that no longer trusts Emerald. If you are that worried about the bee getting bored, a book is a nice thing to offer though... Also yeah we need more info on these roles, like Ruby's role.

>>29782281
How will I give you children Joywasp?

Emerald asks if she maybe wants a book or something. She should ask Joyride to teach her. Even though he isn't sure if Joyride has any sort of sight to them at the moment, it's best to be sure. Emerald asks the bee not to tell anyone that they were here, and she agrees.

Emerald asks the wasp if she is sure she wouldn't want to check out the library or any of the rooms in the house. That probably wouldn't get her killed.

"That's alright. Joyride made it clear that I should stay in the pool for the sake of my future hive.

Emerald frowns slightliy and asks if she is sure.

"Yes. I'm alright. Thank you for your concern, future king." She says with a nod and a smile.

Emerald and Ruby leave soon afterwards.

Ruby pick another key, and it goes to the fire room that Emerald remembers from before. The same one that Joyride tried to throw his amulet into. The filly then hands the keys to Emerald.

What does Emerald do?

Well whatever, we'll have to deal with that whole potentially messy "king" bit later. Let's find the key with the heart,(I think it was a heart) on it and see about learning more about Joy. Ask Ruby if she'd maybe like to learn more about Joy.

>>29782795
Close the door. Do we have any idea what time it is? Ask the demon in the necklace for the time.
Puns ensue.

>>29782795
Close the door and use that one key that looked like a sword. Or go check on Joyride.

>>29782473

This is different. She can't leave, and Joy is responsible for her. We should insist that she gets a proper education.0

>>29782795

we should at least have given her a kiss goodbye.

>>29784010
Pushing for that bug Joy x Emerald ship already?

>>29784010
>We should insist that she gets a proper education
Agreed.

>>29784044

Just think how naughty Sensora will find sleeping with a king!

I am very much in favor of getting a nice herd going. We can get Bo, Hope, Sensora, Joybug, a white deer, and a changeling for Em. Plus, if wubbie ends up for sexual she can domme the order girl, ultrica (sp?) after we get the spacial demon gem. I kinda just want to send her a letter with our price list anyway for the lols, and to meet up with the last bearer. Too much on the plate to do that now but later. It's going to be hard to get her on friendly terms though.

Ultimately, no kill harem + friendship ending is ideal for me. We've made a lot of progress to it as well.

>>29784146
My problem is I don't want to be a king, if anything we already have a potential family name to deal with as it is. And as cute as buggu Joy is, i'm not interested in becoming her king.

Fuckbuddy, yes. King, no. I'm all for a harem of fuck buddies ending.

>>29784146
>sending a letter to the order.
I have been pushing to contact Princess whos name starts with p I forget the name of and have been defending the order but even I think that is suicide.

>>29784193

Well, we have to party up with the last bearer at some point and he's partied with her. *anything* we do is suicidal at that point. Lewding her is probably by far the least suicidal of the options.

All of that is after we get Ruby's gem back though.

>>29784170

Well, it's not like we're going to be passing legislation for the hive. Our purpose as king is to impregnate, advise, and provide companionship. It's a fuckbuddy with a nice hat.

>>29784342
>Well, it's not like we're going to be passing legislation for the hive. Our purpose as king is to impregnate, advise, and provide companionship. It's a fuckbuddy with a nice hat.
Mmmkay, but i'm not interested in making any lineage like that. Is also part of my problem with that scenario.

>>29784364

Not much choice. Joyride has our seed. She can do it without our consent.

>>29782795
Heart key. Let's check out Joy's scrying thingy again

>>29784444
checked

>>29784444
She can, but that certainly doesn't mean I/we don't have to happy about it, or turn around and support the idea just because we'd indirectly locked into what happens from it.

I'm sure some people love the idea, but i'm not one of em. All there is to it. I like Joy, but damn if that wouldn't almost push me to the edge of not liking her anymore if she did turn around and do that without consulting us at all.

I guess if were talking in terms of what effect that would actually have on us directly if it did happen, it's not much. And we could completely ignore the fact that it happened and our life wouldn't be any different,(probably). I dunno, it just seems kinda fucked to just more or less steal jizz and then turn around and create new life like that without worrying about what both involved parties in the situation think of it.

>>29784507
>or turn around and support the idea just because we'd indirectly locked into what happens from it
That honestly seems to be whats happening here. people seem to think we cannot odo anything about the situation. I don't want the wasp to never fucking leave before she gets rooted and I would rather she gets rooted in the forest.

Emerald shakes out the key with the heart on it that leads to the memory room and enters.

The place is exactly the same as he left it before, at least as far as he remembers.

"Whoa, what the heck is this thing?" Ruby says, walking in.

She takes a look at the shelf of spheres, then at the machine, and finally at the booze bottles and letters beside the apparatus.

Emerald explains what he figured out from the room before, and Ruby's ears perk up at this.

"Oh? Let's throw one in! I want to see some of Joyride's past."

Emerald looks at the shelving unit. He grabbed one of the orbs from near the bottom before, and it showed him part of Joyride's childhood. Perhaps if he grabs one higher up he can see something from later in her life?

What does Emerald do?

>>29784554
Man, I have a feeling we're going to regret doing this and I hope the old goat can forgive us for being so curious. But my curiosity won't let me just not do this.

Stand on Rubys back to reach some of the higher spheres and let's pop one in. You know , for not being sentimental, it seems odd that she'd keep a scrap book of sorts. Maybe she wants it to remember that she's actually been alive for this long and not forget that she really still is alive.

But before we actually watch it or anything I want to see what the papers next to the booze says on it.

>>29784554
We should rewatch the first one again first so ruby can see.

>>29784661
We could do that quick, it shouldn't really take that long,(I think so at least). As much as I want to watch something new, Ruby should see how cute Joy is at that age.

>>29784552
I get where you're coming from, but I don't think we're going to even maybe persuade her to leave. Unless we use the leverage as her "king" wants her to go out and experience the world. Or at least leave her place a bit and not even necessarily go out of Joy's house.

Or just straight up lie and tell her that Joy wants her to leave and see the world a bit.

>>29784507
I meant to say: that certainly doesn't mean I/we have to be happy about it. Worded that differently than I meant to.

>>29784661
This.
Maybe Ruby can finaly silence the retards who think the cutie mark nature of the memory is not obvious.

>>29784661
fuck you why rewatch something we've already seen when one orb may be all we get? Come on.

>>29784554
Voting to choose the last orb

>>29784705
Oh someone sounds mad that it wasn't literally included in the flashback. And thinks that the open ended meaning of her cutie mark somehow meant that was absolutely when it happened : )

I'm pretty sure Fic meant to include a description/image of the cutie mark appearing on her ass in the first place and i'm not sure why you're getting so ass blasted about people not seeing things your way.

>>29784757
I am ass blasted because people refuse to admit it is something you could easily conclude in character.
if anybody actually never considered it even ooc then that person is a retard. But I doubt any of us were stupid enough not to consider the possibility.

>>29784721
>one orb may be all we get
That is incredibly fucking unlikely anon. and even if so it would be worth it so ruby can see it.

>>29784800
No one said it wasn't a possibility, but you're acting like it was said in the actual prompt at people were just ignoring it. It makes perfect sense in retrospect that's when it happened but the fact that it wasn't actually included in the relevant prompt is what leaves room for doubt.

>>29784837
I never said there was no room for doubt.
In hindsight in my anger I exaggerated what I was angry about my real problem is what you are saying it is not people saying emreald did not come to that conclusion because he clearly did not it is people who think it would have been impossible for him to do so.

>>29784554
You know, it would be fun if we pick one sexual, I want to see Ruby's face

>>29784554
Let's try to get one from her relationship with the weird skeleton!

>>29785274
That would be nice. I am still unsure why we even did the will check for asking her about the calling them fuckhandles.
I am pretty sure she is experienced with how lewd Joy can be though she spent several days on a boat with her and no Emreald to keep her away.

>>29785291
We did the will check? I though it was something the author did by hisself

>>29784554
Don't grab a higher one. Short ass cartoon horse literally breaking precious memories and shit. This would spell disaster.

>>29785350
That is what I mean. a bunch of people voted to do it with zero objections and then Fic brought out the rarely used will check for some reason. It is not like we were encouraging her to fuck us or anything.

>>29784554

Emerald decides to grab an orb from up near the top of the shelf. Being quite small himself, the pair take a small detour and pick up a ladder from the library to get it down.

Putting the orb in place, the light between the portal shimmers on and Emerald shows Ruby how to enter.

As they approach Emerald notices that it's a living room. It's furnished quite cozily, and out the window Emerald can spot snow as well as some pine trees.

They step through and are instantly between an argument two ponies are having, one of which Emerald recognizes.

The other is a tall, pretty mare dressed in some tight leather clothes. She looks... Somehow familiar, but Emerald can't place why.

"You can't be serious. For a stallion. You are giving this all up for a stupid stallion? You?" Joyride says pleadingly to the mare.

"Yes Joyride, I thought I had made that quite clear." The pony says, calmly, but still slightly sad, "We both knew this couldn't go on forever but... Well, I think it is happening much sooner than either of us expected."

"But it CAN go on forever! I'm offering you immortality Sunshine!" Joyride says, dashing forward and stepping between Sunshine and the door.

"But there are downsides to it. Downsides that I can't in good conscience accept. Especially not now." Sunshine says, sitting down gracefully and looking at the unicorn.

"Especially not... Wait... Are you pregnant? How did you... But... That's impossible! How could my- Wait, you WANTED to get pregnant didn't you?" Joyride says, clutching her head, her eyes flickering back and forth with sudden realizations.

Sunshine, steps slowly towards the unicorn and hugs her, and Joyride reciprocates.

"I don't hate you, and I hope that you do not hate me." Sunshine says.

Joyride starts crying.

Emerald feels a little awkward about being here. He did want to learn more about Joyride but... But this seems almost a bit too personal.

What does Emerald do?

>>29785664
>She looks... Somehow familiar, but Emerald can't place why.
No... no it's not possible...

>>29785664
That pendant seems rather familiar. We're already in this deep so we might as well continue.

>>29785664
cry CRY A LOT. KEEP CRYING UNTIL RUBY HUGS YOU AND THEN SOME MORE. ;-;

>>29785664
Aww, this is sad poor Joy...but what's with the amulet she's wearing dos it look like ours?

>>29785664
Keep looking into what happens next.

>>29785664
Do the next one over next!

>>29785664
It is very important we know what she wants to name the child and who the father is.

>>29785664
Leeeeaaaaveeee you little shit.

>>29785664
Keep watching.
after this we should show ruby the cutie mark memory. do not tell her what it is though.

>>29785664
This... is interesting. Keep going, i'm not backing down now. But after this we should probably just go do something that isn't snooping. As fun as it's been. We're gonna have one hell of a shock if Sunshine does turn out to be Emeralds mom.

>>29785688
>>29785690

You know, with this new info this is really starting to look like that she could be his mother. But i'm still waiting to see if it's not just a coincidence or not. There is no gem in that amulet and there is multiple gems, so that doesn't necessarily mean that amulet she has is the same one that Emerald has.

But that fact that she's pregnant brings new interesting info to the table.

>>29785664
LOOK AT HER HARDER YOU FUCK IN,

>>29785664
Check the letter by the bottles while Ruby picks another orb.

>>29785664
She has a piece of jewellery that looks similar to Emerald and Ruby's. Both of them should look carefully at the mare. Does she look like any of their moms?

>>29785664

>>29785740

>Sunshine is our mom who refused to become immortal
>Judging by Joy's behavior this is from before she emotionally closed herself from the others
>Sunshine is aware of the black magic stuff
>Would explain our step parents and our demon buddy
I think i am starting to get this, its no coincidence the time demon is inside our medallion, someone put it there, our step parents wanted to contact it but for some reason they never did anything to us, maybe they just don't know its in there in the first place

Now we seriously need to start asking Joy some questions, she is clearly holding stuff from us for some reason

>>29785740
>>29785777
She is pregnant and looks like Emerald, remember when Bo admitted only feeling attracted to us because we reminded him Sunshine?

>>29785841(samefag)
Now that i think about it, it does feel hella awkward since we asked Joy about the odds of we being Sunshine's kid in the past and she didn't seemed surprised or anything

>>29785664
try another Orb. Tell Ruby that she doesn't have to stay if she doesn't want to.

>>29785850
She could have been either expecting it, or she already knew. I wouldn't be surprised considering how close they where.

>>29785841
I'm not saying it's not possible, but I'm not going to put stock into it till we get harder proof. What if she's just related to us? What if she's just like our aunt or something?

Depending on how old she is if we get to talk to her personally, that'll say if she would be our mothers age or grandmas age.

>>29785664
Ask Ruby what she thinks.

>>29785800
Because it would be retarded.
I guess I could almost forgive sunshine but any of the other suggested ponies would be terrible.

>>29785873
but remember that they stopped talking to each other after Sunshine deciding to settle

I actually forgot, are both our abusive relatives step parents or just our mother? I wonder if Sunshine married again because its weird how there are no records of her existence (not that we could find them at least) considering how influiential the Jewel family is

>>29785894
>she would be our mothers age or grandmas age.
That depends on how old Bo was when he had a crush on her, i think i remember his dad talking about Sunshine but i can't remember which one had sex with her, using human years i would say she is on her 50s since Bo is a young adult (ish)

>>29785958
Both parents

>>29785996
gotcha, gonna bet on both our parents dying because of dark magic shenanigans, that "i don't hate you" could have something to do with this

>>29785664
One more orb and then we dip

>>29785987
Yeah, it would of been nice to ask him that just out of curiosity, but it's too late for that. For now.

>>29785664
Heavy, if that is our mom why didn't joy tell us?

>>29786149
I don't think joy ever got to see the kid cause they stopped talking. So she probably didn't know.

>>29785987
I thought it was the captain that married her or am I misremembering.

>>29786206
No it was someone else.

>>29785664

damn, em needs that outfit. and also to sleep with the mare in that outfit, mom or not. I would point out that the amulet looks like a mashup of ours and Rubys kinda. Triplets?

1) after we go to bed 100% cuddle with joy and ruby. Tomorrow is going to be a heavy day of drama and talking to Joy. She needs a lot of love to get over her issues, as well as to visit Sunshine.

We have to remember our priorities from tonights snoop are to help Joyride through her issues, and make sure the Joybug is treated right. These take priority over our other quest goals for now. If we do this right, Joy's changeling client is going to walk in and then get now art (or at least sparkly wings)

Glittering up the changeling with freely given given love is also on tomorrows agenda, even if you don't like the new art. Hopefully we can get Ruby to help feed- love shared is love doubled, so both of us sharing is 4x the love.

after that is getting the jems, making peace with the order of the arrow, and Joyrides potion.

>>29786293
I'd love to see Joyrides reaction if we suddenly looked just like Sunshine.

>>29786293
>getting rid of the jems
ftfy
then we can finaly cast spells on ourselves.
Before any of that though we need to get her to teach us telekenisis. it is innate to unicorns so it keeps slipping her mind to teach it I suppose.
Although if it is innate she may have trouble teaching it should be interesting.

>>29786293
I don't think jumping to any of this is a good idea, save going and sleeping with Joy.

>making peace with the order of the arrow
You might as well try to move a mountain with just your hooves. Douches would be lucky if they get the time of day from us with the shit they pulled.

Sunshine Seas lived in a tavern with Joyride in Pololimpopo, a Zebra city on the scale of Whitherwater. There Joyride met Bo's family. Iti s likely Joyride slept with Bo, his dad, and his grandad. But Bo's mum was a Zebra named Lesedi. His captain dad never had a long relationship with Sunshine. Bo however did, or, was in love with her whilst it was just sex for her.
She was very skilled in shape-shifting and rivaled Joyride for prowess in bed. But I don't think we know more than that.

And now she's pregnant and has that amulet...

"P-please Sunshine... I can't... Please don't leave..." Joyride says, muffled from her tears and the fact that she has her face buried in Sunshine's hug.

"This isn't the end... You are and will always be my friend." Sunshine says.

"-and that's the last I ever saw her, or even talked to her." Emerald hears from behind him.

The two foals turn to see Joyride walking up behind them.

"O-oh! Hey there Joyride I-" Ruby starts, but Emerald interrupts him.

Though Joyride looks the maddest that Emerald has ever seen her, he yells. Tears streaming, he asks why Joyride never told her that Sunshine was his mother.

"Oh come on. What are the chance that-" Joyride starts.

But suddenly, as if by Emerald's own will, the memory starts to reverse, going back in time until Sunshine is separated from past Joyride. It freezes at this point, and Emerald walks over and points to her choke, which has a very familiar pendant in it.

Joyride stands silently for a second, her eyes twitching from side to side again, says, "But... That can't... That CAN'T be right."

Joyride suddenly rushes Emerald, and shaking him continues, "But your mother. You are sure your mother is dead? You are absolutely sure? Wait, and-!"

Joyride suddenly stares hard at Ruby, who seems to flinch at this and says, "But it could be her mother too!"

Joyride suddenly stumbles back and says, "Wait no... That's no better... No, it can't be. It CAN'T be..."

Joyride seems to be muttering to herself at this point. Emerald wipes his face, but the tears don't seem to stop.

What does Emerald do?

>>29786479
You've crossed your own timeline..... brain turns to goo.

I think everyone needs a hug.

>>29786479
lie down
try not to cry
cry a lot

>>29786479
Well, this wasn't the turn of events i wasn't expeting
Hug?

>>29786479
Hug your not mom. Let it out.

>>29786479
There's also that colt the demon showed us.

>>29786499
Wait i thought joy knoked her up with her magic futa cock

>>29786479

Pull Joyride and Ruby in a hug, cry it out, then talk it out. We'll fix this.

>>29786479
We need to go see Sunshine. If Joy won't, then she at least needs to point us in her direction.

We can't go immediately though, still have the jewel heist to plan out. But maybe after.

>>29786479
This is very crazy but I'm pretty sure that there is some form of connection to us and sunshine, whether she's our mom or not.

>>29786479
#DicksoutforEmerald'sMom

>>29786479
Tell joy we don't fully know that she's dead. Our step parents just always told us that. It could be a lie.

>>29786479
>"But it could be her mother too!"
Wait, what am I missing, why is Joyride considering Ruby could be related to Sunshine?

>>29786479
The demon is using his will and not one will point this out. I am one of them too because there are other important matters at hand...

Hold Joyride in place and slap her face to wake her up from these convoluted thoughts. After she stops this ask her EVERYTHING she knows about this! No use in hiding that now from him!

>>29786479
Emerald is seeing her as his own mother, and not his step-mother. Phew. I was a tad worried since we cant see her cutie-mark that she might've been the bad mum. Had that theory for a while.
But also this reaction from Joy has me concerned. Did the amulet have one of those "do not notice me" charms on it? How is she only now piecing this together? Are these memories even accurate or does the viewer influence them? I am just, too baffled. Joy is smart, what's going on? Hugs are needed all around.

Also how's Ruby doing? Is she the only one holding it together? (Also possible sister yay)

>>29786530
She's not confirmed dead tho. That's just assuming they both are doing.

>>29786479
Yup hugs are needed now.
Also this >>29786538

>>29786479
Wait, how was she not out long enough... Alright fine whatever.

Steady yourself Emmy, you'll have time to cry later, first we need to figure out what's going on. Ask her how long ago this was, was it long ago that we could be old enough to be her kid? Apologize for snooping but we needed to know things and you don't exactly put out when it comes to that kind of thing.

>>29786538
Yes we should tell her that we don't know for sure if they are, cause that's only what our step parents told us.

>>29786548
Are you talking about the fact that the memory went to somewhere else with us just thinking about it? Couldn't that just be a feature of the memory viewer thinger?

>>29786551
She's probably just piecing it togheter, she made it clear these aren't pleasant memories

>>29786334
>not keeping the gems so Emmy can tame the demon and become a time mage
Also pretty sure she did, though i remember it being goat magic since we can't into poner magic without our focus

>>29786548
Dude there is no reason to slap her. She wasn't hiding anything she didn't even know.

The real question is how much did our step parents hide. There is no doubt that they had contact with sunshine.

I love this trope

>>29786568
We can't use magic in general without the focus.
Also the goat magic thing only works on small rocks.

>>29786530
>>>/out/

>>29786479
Maybe she is the mother of the colt from the vision the time demon showed us.

>>29786548
No slap, chill dud.

>>29786479
Ruby: ask if maybe Sunshine just so happened to have the amulet. Where did she get it from? Maybe Emerald's mom got it from her.

>>29786602
Well we have traveled to multiple dimensions. Hell, there could be a singular sunshine mom for all of them.
But I think it's more likely that they came from the same mom.

>>29786602
Larimar? Honestly it depends on the color of her gem, sadly Emerald is too mindfucked to do a check and i doubt Fic would clear that up and risk giving spoilers

>>29786479
We know that given the circumstances she probably wouldn't want to talk to Sunshine, or at least it would be too painful too, but we should plead with her that if she can find out where she's at we want to be able to go find her ourself. Or at least have Joy take us to where we can go find her.

>>29786642
I think think the gem came at a later date but what I want to know is why.

>>29786479
Give Joyride a hug and try to comfort each others frayed nerves and pain.

>>29786548
I think she is in the dark just as much as us.

>>29786547
>>29786547
PLEASE RESPOND
Why is Ruby possibly related to Sunshine? Because she bore a demon, and her earring? If that's all it is it seems pretty flimsy

>>29786602
I like this theory we should mention it to Joy.

>>29786703
>her earring
Its this
the only reason Joyride has come to this conclusion is the jewelry

>>29786479
cry into her shoulder and maybe hopefully grow closer as a family.

>>29786479
Does Emerald and Joyride need sad sex to feel better?

>>29786825
Later anon, but not now.
We can cry from the other place when our eyes are done.

>>29786479
ACCEPT IT JOY
SHE
IS
GONE

>>29786479
Oh god. Books can't solve this. Assume the fetal position and cry.

Does Ruby not remember what her mom looked like? Does Sunshine look familiar?

>>29786479
That angry look would be really cute to Emmy if it weren't for the revelation.

We must look for Sunshine! Apply more tears! Cry yourself unconscious!

>>29786479
This time, do nothing, let joyride think and talk

What about him? We didn't get a look at his pendant, so emerald or joyride can't Make the possible connection.

>>29787753
why does the mint horse cry

>>29786512
Nope.

>>29786513
Right. Emerald gets 'severely' punished for trespassing. As in nothing sexual.

>>29786547
Ruby's earring is likeEmmys, necklace.

>>29786548
Terrible idea, and too much.

>>29786551
Joyride is fuck old. She can't bother to piece every little detail.

>>29786568
She couldn't have. If she could tame the demon, she would be the closest thing to a god.

>>29786682
Not doesn't need comforting. She's more mad and confused.

>>29786818
Naaaaah

>all these anons and more can't read people

>>29786479
The fun thing?
Fic has called ruby "him"

>>29787794
We can because time demon seems to like us, if we can get it on our side we could go full Prince of Persia which is nice

plus why else would they exist? So far all he did was send us to different time periods for development's sake, i seriously doubt we will gain nothing from this

>>29788004
>We can because time demon seems to like us
What?

>says demon sent us to different time periods
Again, what?

>>29788135
I'm guessing that is a reference to the larimar event, that anon chooses to see it as the chronodemon likes us, and showed us another time.

I'm leaning towards the demon likes us a little but more so is just honestly bored with "Emerald has a regular life in the city and plots a jewel heist" and taunted us by showing that the third jewel is already or soon will be in the possession of the faction that has been our largest threat.

Otherwise I don't think the demon has sent us through time unless I forgot a Fic bad end or Fic decided to make one of the imposter bad ends canon.

>>29787794
You don't seem to have a better idea, anon. Also, Joyride is extremely confused in her train of thought, she needs something to snap out of it that's why I said a slap could be able to do it.

>>29788169
>imposter bad ends

What bad end is that?

>>29788182
Slap her, but on the ass.

>>29788192
I don't immediately remember any but usually it happens when the immediate response to a prompt is same fagging or a small group that says to do or say the worst possible thing, Fic doesn't start on the next post and if it takes long enough for a rational idea to show up then time gets away and Fic goes to work/bed.

In the delay someone else will draw a what if of us doing the stupid idea and then post it when it is clear Fic did not do one last post before work/bed. Often it is obviously not Fic but a few times people have emulated the style well enough or edited past images together to make it convincing.

>>29788292
In a less long winded manner anon is saying it might not be fic.

We should let joyride clear her mind before talk

>>29788182
>>29788194
>>29787177
No. Let her get it all out. she's haveing a moment, hitting people in the face only pisses them off it doesn't snap them out of anything.

>>29789345
That's why I said on the ass. Joy would appreciate that.

>>29789362
Sounds good to me.

>>29789362
I think this is the one time to hold back on the pervness.

>>29789512
Why?

>>29786479
Try to get our crying under control or at least to a manageable level and try to get Joy's attention.

>>29789362
I don't think this is really the time for it anon.

>>29789516
Because Joy is dazed and confused.

>>29789362

I think most of us agree that that's a bad idea until after a good cry and hugging it out. And talking. Then we can lewd her. and make robbing the cradle puns, and insist that if she's breeding us to lewd the grandbabies while they're still in diapers we join in. But all that is for after we clear the air and cry it out and get on the same page. There's a *lot* to talk about.

>>29786530

Well, if she's half what Joyride claims then I'm sure she'll lewd Em. I approve of this course of action.

>>29786538

It's almost certain that it's a lie. After all, is the chronodemon going to let incestuous lewds not happen? I think not. Let's just hope she's not a litch, or that anon is into necrophilia.

>>29786547

cause the three bearers all have similar jewelry to hold the daemon gems. And because it makes a type of sense.

>>29786818
+1

>>29787759

Em didn't see the pendant, but we did. He can get the intuition from there. Conversely, we don't get to see the details that might indicate familial relationship the way Em and Joy would, since that's simply not available in the art.

>>29788169

hence why we're going to have to make truce with them at some point. upside is this will probably involve lewds with Uictoria

>>29787759
>We didn't get a look at his pendant
What.

>>29786479

Well this is something. Let's try reasoning with Joyride, there has to be a connection between Sunshine and either/both Ruby and Emerald. Why else would they both have the pendants?

>>29789639
Farm boy. We didn't see the farm boys piece of jewelry.

>>29789782
Didn't we?

>>29789790
No. Don't believe me? Check the last thread or so for Larimar with his pendant thing. Because he isn't seen with one.

>>29789595
Don't be like that anon. Don't be meta. Just because Emerald saw him doesn't mean he can or will make the connection of Larimar, mmaaaaayybeee being related to Sunshine. For one he doesn't look like her feature wise, and many other pones would share the same colors with her.

>>29789639

"Out, I need to-" Joyride says. She doesn't finish her sentence, but she begins to push the two foals forcefully out of the machine.

Before the two can even finish stumbling out the unicorn has dashed over to the shelf with the memories. She pulls a few down magically and runs back to the machine. She takes a minute two running in and out of the machine as Emerald sits there, watching.

He isn't sure what he should do. He isn't even sure why he is crying. Shouldn't he be happy he knows who his mother might be? Is it because it could possibly be Ruby's mother, or heck, it could even be Larimar's. Or maybe all three of them are related? Maybe Sunshine had more than one amulet? Did she know about the gems? How can this even make sense? Heck, there could even be other ponies with similar jewelry. He massages his head, and tries to calm down, trying to think through this carefully.

The foal feels a pair of forelegs wrap around him and he looks up through the tears to see brown fur and a dark reddish mane in his face. He hugs Ruby back, and though he can't explain why he feels very comforted by this act.

"H-hey. I'm not so good with this kind of thing. If you uh... Want to talk it out or anything I'll listen, but I can't promise I'll say anything that'll help." Ruby says nervously.

Joyride dashes out of the machine, and towards the door. Emerald breaks the hug and attempts to stop the unicorn, but she barrels passed without a word or even looking at him and exits the room.

There is silence as the colt just stares at the door. He feels a hoof on his shoulder, and Emerald turns back to Ruby again, and embraces her. She reciprocates.

What does Emerald do?

>>29789963
Well now I feel guilty about just leaving that poor wasp. she does not know her mother either.

>>29789963

Hold Ruby. We have to talk to her about Lamar, and the gems, mom, and about lewds. and a lot of things we need to talk to Joyride about too. Getting her on our side with a unified front would be useful as we make our plans.

>>29789963
Should we follow after Joyride? Where is she galloping to?

>>29789975
To investigate.

>>29789963
Try to calm down and ask Ruby her thoughts. If Sunshine is our mom what does that mean about us? Is Sunshine still even alive? Does that make us brother and sister if Sunshine is your mom as well?

>>29789963
Just stay there hugging.

>>29789969
And neither do we.

>>29789975
Where to indeed.

>>29789963
Welp, it just it's time to do some brain digging.
I know Emmy doesn't think he remembers anything about his mom but perhaps this event could have triggered a lost memory.

We should try to see if we can think of something.

>>29789963
Do a Int check do we remember anything else about his mom?

>>29790017
Boost!

>>29789963
Does this mean we might be family Ruby?

>>29789963
Ask Ruby if she remembers anything with her mom? Think hard.

Should we go see where Joy went? or test another memory ord?

>>29790036
Joyride is still mad about the memory orb thing anon. That is not the appropriate thing to do.

>>29789963
Go to your room, i think everyone should get some time alone after this

Emerald wonders if he should go after Joyride, or even see what she was looking at in the memory machine, but he thinks better of it. Right now, in Ruby's forelegs, This is where he wants to be.

After a short time, they part, and Ruby says, "Well hey, all this that happened... It might mean we are related right? I don't think I'd mind that at all!"

Emerald rubs some tears away and nods, saying that it would be pretty cool.

"You okay? At least for now?"

Emerald nods again, but he isn't really paying too much attention. He tries his best to remember something, anything, about his parents.

>INT CHECK, 14
>BOOSTED
>Rolled, 3,5,3
>3+5+3+4= 15
>PASSED

Unfortunately, he can't remember anything directly coming from his parents. He was simply too young at the time. He does remember a few things that his step parents said to him about his parents though.

He remembers mentioning that she could use magic, and now that Emerald knows Sunshine was an earth pony, it's likely she had a focus of some kind.

He also thinks he remembers his step mother mentioning his father was a guard, but nothing about the names of either of his parents come to mind.

He feels a hoof on his shoulder again, and looking up he sees Ruby again. She has a look of concern on her face and says, "Hey, you sure your alright? Maybe we should hit the hay. It's probably getting pretty late."

What does Emerald do?

>>29790285

go to bed together. In Joyrides bed. Talk until we fall asleep. Mom sure had a sweet outfit, right?

>>29790285
Put on the most absurd voice we can muster and say "hey wanna go do incest?
> Sunshine was an earth pony
odd Joyride says we were her first, maybe all her previous earth students simply already had a focus.

>>29789963
Go to your room, i think everyone should get some time alone after this.

>>29790285
Accept the advice, you should rest

>>29790285
Nay!!!

>>29790285
I think we should find Joyride and apologize before we hit the hay. And return her keys.

>>29790285
Ok, let's go to bed.

>>29790285
Does Ruby think Sunshine might be her mom too?

Next time we see Joyride, we should ask if she knows if Sunshines hubby was a guard. If we're going to look for her, use the compass.

>>29790352
She is both focused and mad at us, leave the keys behind, and let her work

>>29790393
Those are Joyride's keys. How is she supposed to get inside with our them?

>>29790409
*Without
It'll be part of the, "I'm sorry for snooping into your life."

>>29790393
I think she might have been mad but all of that has been kinda replaced with shock and now she putting everything aside to find her lost and friend. So if we're lucky or unlucky depending on the punishment she'll forget about it.

We should check in with her in the morning and see what she's discovered in her mad search. Also, we should apologize for giving her a heart attack.

>>29790409
She got into the memory room without them so I think she'll be fine but she'll probably want them back anyway so we should leave them in the room.

Bed time. We can talk tomorrow.

>>29790422
That's right
>>29790409
Why do you think i said "leave the keys behind"?
That way she can pick them

>>29790285
Time for bed.

Good god I'm getting feels from this update. Call me a faggot, but I'm emotionally invested in your characters, Fic.

>>29790285

Let's head to bed for now, see what happens in the morning. Hopefully we get to talk to Joyride.

But yeah, congratulations fic for that

Hah! Horny, you say.
A real horny pony would have rejected the minotaur sex, slime sex, wasp sex, dont ask about the skeleton sex, the joyride clon sex, the dildo focus, flirting with ruby, sex with uictoria, hasn't ask for milking since ages....
Geez, I was literally impressed him accepted sex with Guile and the sushi mare, since both required some risk or posible danger.

>>29792506
(The would part was a question, and the vasp i meant was the rapists)

>>29792506
I think for a colt his age, not counting the rape, he's been laid more than some folks will be in a lifetime. So yeah, point taken, but mine still stands.

>>29792506
Try phrasing that a bit coherently and you might get taken a bit more seriously with your complaints.

>>29792552
Well, he gets laid, that's true, but most of times is because he wants something for it, money, orbs of the ring, being joyride's partner... Yeah, he does a few times just for pleasure, but... I don't know, between the rejecting sex, and the mostly "havesexbecauseyouneedsomething" I would describe him as average

>>29790285
I personally have some questions I want to ask Joy when she's not making a mad scramble to make sense of things. And I also want to apologize and give her big, long hug too. I do partially feel bad for snooping, but if this is gonna go how we think it will, this info will certainly pertain to us.

We should hit the hay, emotional shock like that really does wear you out.

>>29790306
I too want to suggest sleeping in Joys bed but I think that gesture would actually annoy her more than enamor her,(even if I really want to get more cozy with sempai, especially since we probably legit pissed her off this time).

>He remembers mentioning that she could use magic, and now that Emerald knows Sunshine was an earth pony, it's likely she had a focus of some kind.
I think this could also suggest his said mother was a unicorn instead and not Sunshine, but i'm merely stating this as a way to cover more bases. Seeing as how evidence is pretty strong for Sunshine being his mom right now it'd be foolish to firmly say otherwise.

>He also thinks he remembers his step mother mentioning his father was a guard, but nothing about the names of either of his parents come to mind.
I think we should also ask Joy if she could possibly think of what guard they would be talking about. I'm assuming Em's father was the heir to the Jewel name in the first place,(though it could be Sunshine instead, but that seems unlikely given she seems more like a mercenary at most). So he should be somewhat kinda famous and possibly trackable?

>>29792554
Sorry, I'm from Spain, and here is almost midnight, so I was tired and didn't think too much about that

>>29792642
Not entirely true. Emerald has always shown second intentions when he whored himself out and the milker was partly out of curiosity also. It wasn't just to pay Joyride back.

>>29790285
Let's check out the other memory. Or maybe look for Joyride she's pretty upset.

>>29790285
Have Emerald kiss Ruby on the cheek.

>>29792659
Well i guess that can be true, but thats why I see him as average.
He enjoys sex, but even if he enjoys, he usually avoids it.
I mean, C'mon, he has a really sexy and experienced mare who demands him to usually cum all he can for her, and it a couple of months or so, he has just ask for that twice.
Someone ''horny as fuck'' would ask for it at least once every three days


But, it actually doesn't matter that much, I just wanted to give my opinion, and i have to go to sleep, so i'll be out more than 7 hours, so, read you later ;)

>>29792506

So, we need to go back to lewd them too.

>>29792651

joyrides bed is probably the easiest way to solve the whole having Joyride's keyring and not locking her in thing. +1 on talking and hugging though.

>>29792918

Maybe if we had 24 hours in a day we could get Em up to a normal 3+ orgasms daily, but the nature of the fic is that time moves a little fast and irregularly. It's just how things get estimated without an actual clock.

Emerald decides that going to bed would be a good idea. He decides to drop off Joyride's keys first. After all she'll need them to go anywhere.

Emerald suddenly realizes that she somehow made it to this room without her keys.

Still it's probably better that he return them. He wants to apologize to Joyride for being in the memory room. As the pair go to Joyride's room and drops the keys off on her nightstand, he realizes that if he wishes to speak with Joyride it might be a good idea to hang out here. She'll probably come back some time tonight, right?

"You want to sleep here?" Ruby says, looking at the spacious bed, "Alright, it looks way more comfortable than your bed."

Ruby falls asleep pretty quickly, but Emerald finds getting to sleep much more difficult. Just too much happened today. Eventually though, sleep and Emerald found each other.

---

Emerald wakes up sometime later, unsure of the time. It's probably still late at night or early in the morning, because turning over Emerald sees that Ruby is still sleeping.

Joyride appears to not have come back to her room yet.

Emerald lays on his back and just stares at the ceiling a while.

Just... Staring.

What does Emerald do?

>>29793085
Get up and look for Joyride alone.

>>29793113
This.

>>29793085
Get up and just get a good stretch. Then go get some food stuff and see if we maybe can't find Joy, but if we can't find Joy I vote for letting the little nerd stuff his brain full in the library for a bit. I still want to go talk to Omalannanana some time today.

>>29793085
Quietly slip out of bed and take the keys. We should look for Joyride.

>>29793085
We should get up and go to the bathroom to pee.

>>29793113

look for joyride. There's a lot of talking and hugging to do. Try to get on the same page.

And I suppose it's time to commit to working Joyride's issues out. Healthy lewds.

>>29793085
Look for Joyride and be ready for anything.

>>29793085
Seek out momma Joy and say we're sorry. Bust out the compass and see if it will point to a specific portal key.

>>29793503
The compass was a good idea, but i'm assuming it won't work. Wouldn't hurt to try it for funsies though.

>>29793503
Let's try the Joy compass.

Emerald gets up with a sigh, and then walks around the room, looking for a bathroom. After finding a door off the room that leads to one, he uses it and also decides to take a shower. The warm water feels nice, and Emerald finds himself under the water far longer than he would have normally been.

After coming out and not seeing Joyride still, he decides to take her keys and look for her.

Emerald exits out through the front door of #304 Coursewalk. Emerald wonders where Joyride could have possibly went. He suddenly remembers that he has the compass, and pulls it out.

The compass swings lazily around and points back towards the door, swinging side to side like a pendulum, but always in the direction of the entrance. He walks around the whole house, and the needle always points back to the house. Walking up to the door he begins to flick through the keys, opening doors and pointing it through the doorway.

Eventually the needle fixes itself upon a room with a strange rod in the center of it. The rod is glowing with an eerie energy and seems to be bolted to the floor for some reason.

What does Emerald do?

>>29786479
Uh, aren't we overlooking that this could be the mother of the blue sword-wielding character in the zebra temple? Or am I missing something?

>>29793762
Call out Joyride's name and approach the the scepter. Do we recognize it? Do a Int check.

>>29793762
Why not just go back to the memory room. That's where she was last time.

>>29793762
Offer grapefruit.

>>29793781
This
Also maybe a perception check to make sure this really is everything in the room

>>29793762
Do an int check to see if we can't recognize what that rod is for. It should look similar to something we've seen before. I vote for poking around the rod a bit to see if we can't figure out how it works.

>>29793779
It was stated by at least a couple of people that was a possibility too.

>>29793794
We could, but that's not where the compass is pointing.

>>29793762
Boop it.

>>29793762
This seems like it could be dangerous.
Leave joy to her studies and go to our library we still need to read that book on zigger gods.

>>29793762
Don't touch the arcanic artifact like some stupid shit. Look around the room for clues. And do close the door behind you.

Ask the time demon.

>>29793779
I mentioned it.

>>29793762

find joyride, but cautiously so we don't mess up what she's doing.

>>29793762
study the scepter. How does it work? Use perception!

>>29793762
Can we tell where the scepter took Joyride? Should we follow?

>>29793762
resist the urge to fellate the scepter

>>29793762
This looks like strange magic, even relative to the strangeness we normally encounter, lets leave it alone before we ruin it and upset joy again.

I feel like we should look around in the room but keep our distance from the statue.. We are already on thin ice with Joyride, and we haven't seen her to the point of fury and personally, I don't think we want to see that

>>29794785
I'm pretty sure at most, it's a means to teleport. Doesn't it look like one of those rods from the time the navy was trying to capture the pirates? Could it be that bad if Joy is on the other side?

https://img.anonpone.com/archive/coltquest/1458707078941.png

>>29794785
You forgot to take your name off anon

>>29794821
>Could it be that bad if Joy is on the other side?
yes
seriously she has investigations to do leave her alone.

>>29794830
And just why can't we investigate with her? Do you think she can even get any more annoyed? Is it even possible for her to be seriously pissed off? I'm honestly tired of being left out of what she does. We don't have to be glued to her hip but I really would like to know what she does sometimes. I don't recall her saying not to follow her or anything.

I'm curious and you won't change that. Simple as that.

>>29794859
I agree we should be more active in her afairs but now is not the time.

>>29794903
But depending on what she finds out, this will pertain to us too. We've already gone full on snoopy mode, we might as well see if we can't find out more. If she really looks like she's going to get legit angry then we can back off. Like when we were with the pirates and the navy was trying to capture the ship and she was fighting up top. Emerald's curious, and i'm curious.

>>29794821
Nevermind i'm pretty sure we can't do anything with it if this is what Joy says it is

https://www.anonpone.com/coltquest/26865530
>"Oh, that. That's called a Etheric Beacon. It can be used to pinpoint an area to teleport to and also has the effect of reducing the amount of energy it takes for a pony to teleport. It's often used by armies as reinforcements. Not so much ambushes. The beacon gives off a large amount of energy that most people trying to sense magic will see it easily. Almost like lighting a firecracker in a dark room

>>29794976
Maybe we could use our focus to power it.

>>29794859
I'm not against looking for Joy, but we damn well better not leave Ruby behind. We should backtrack and make sure Ruby is okay. Get food and get ourselves sorted out. Then pack our goods and go looking for her once we are ready to. We don't know what to expect if we end up teleporting or snooping in more rooms, so the best thing is to just prepare for anything.

>>29793085
Ruby is an ugly sleeper. That's adorable.

>>29793762
Can we INT the orb? Boost that shit. Otherwise let's see if that glow is generating any heat; if it's safe to touch.

>>29795336
Ruby is sleeping you shit.

>>29795547
I think we're out of Boosts. We only get three a thread.
No wait we only had one boost.

>>29795211
It makes teleportation easier. to somebody without any teleport skills at all it probably alows them to teleport just enough to fuck up there bodys

>>29795855
Also our amulet to add to the fucking up magic tally. Let's not even go near it.

>>29795211
Ha ha that's a stupid idea friend! Emerald has zero exsperience with teleportation, and it seems a weeeeeeee bit to advanced for our favorite trap. HHHMMMMMMMM. If only he were a bad OC that's perfect at everything and could learn things super fast.

>>29795336
You're jumping the gun there anon. You assume emerald will know how to use this divide without teleporting himself into a wall.

>>29796039
We're gonna need a montage

>>29796039
Or we could investigate the orb Fic bothered to draw up for us because it's bound to have some importance, otherwise why the fuck would he even bother? Might be as simple as touching the fucker. Can we at least try before you start complaining

>>29796095
yes.

>>29796095
Just because he drew it, doesn't mean you should touch it.

>>29793078
I didn't mean 3 orgasm a day, I said get one milking from joyride for every group of 3 days XD

>>29794830
This, go o breakfast, and leave her alone

>>29796064
This.
we lose this we end up in the middle of a zebra battlefield.

>>29796245
>>29796240

I'm sure where we are going is already preset. It'll take us where Joyride went.

>>29796095
If fic draws a dildo with spikes and needles, would you ride it?
If fic draws a bomb, and emerald doesn't know how to use it, would you touch it?

Also, joyride deserves to be able of work alone. She has feelings too, you know?
And they are hurt and confused right now, she needs to be alone

>>29796259
No, I was talking about leaving the room and going for breakfast, not saying the teleport leads to breakfast XD

>>29796274
What? No let's go back to bed.

>>29793762
Leave a note for Ruby telling her that we have gone looking for Joyride and then try the orb.

>>29796207

Meta, but it kinda does. We're being resented the choice to risk for reward or play safe. Usually the former is correct.

>>29796226

Right, you're saying doing it 1/3 times a day is horny as fuck. I'm saying normal is 3+ times a day. Once or twice when you get up. Once or twice before bed. Once during the day. Same as eating or brushing your teeth. I imagine that would be hard on fic though, unless he greatly expanded the day length to include all these relatively short normal activities.

>>29796264

It's hard to say if she needs alone time right now. I tend to think that we need to see what she's doing, and be there cause she's going to need a hug. She needs to know we're there for her and to help her heal.

>>29793762
We should go back to the memory room. Joy probably left a lot of stuff all over that were probably leads on our connection to sunshine so maybe we can use those to get a better idea on where she went before touching magic orbs.
We might not even need to touch it at all.

>>29793762
Yeah lets not touch this.
Turn to religion to get through these tough times

>>29796417
Dude, I'm not talking about masturbation, I'm talking of asking joyride to make you cums like 10 times
Of course masturbating once in three days is no horny. Also, I was complaining of emerald not being horny to begin with

>>29796708
I miss the Frustration mechanic this adventure started out with. I'd love to see that brought back.

>>29796731
Yeah, It was the best. In fact, I often read again the first chapters just for that

>>29796905 (me)
And that, curiously, would probably make em more "Horny as fuck" as one suggested he is.

Emerald approaches the rod and examines it.

He knows he's seen this before, or if not this then something like it. After thinking for a few moments he remembers that the first time he met Sensoria the guards that were with her had one of these, and further when he was fighting on the pirate ship one of the sailors tried to use this thing to summon reinforcements. He thinks he remembers it being called an Etheric Beacon, or something?

Emerald lifts his amulet and asks what the staff is, but it remains silent. He let's go of the necklace and stares back towards his compass. It certainly seems to be pointing towards it.

What does Emerald do?

>>29797203
>that flame
well now I sure as hell don't want to touch it.

>>29797203

I hate to say this, but let's touch it.
Hopefully we can get back to the room if what's on the other side isn't good.

>>29797203
>inb4 we touch it and nothing happens,

>>29797406
Based on previous encounters, these devices are one-way. So we most likely won't be able to return easily from wherever it sends us.

Emerald grabs the rod and...

Nothing.

All he wanted was to be taken to Joyride.

As if that thought flew through his head and into the staff, his forelegs are suddenly jerked straight forward. He holds on for dear life, terror rising as he clings the best he can to the rod. The colt doesn't know what is going on, especially since all he can see through his eyes are streaking white lights. It feels like the life is being sapped straight out of him, and as the whole event continues he feels his consciousness slip away...

---

Emerald sits bolt upright, breathing hard and looking around. He's in some sort of wooden cottage. The whole thing is nearly dilapidated, and he shivers as he watches snow flit slowly down from a few of the holes in the ceiling above. He looks down to see he is laying on a bed and covered with a rather thin, moth eaten sheet. The bed isn't much better looking, and he can see some loose springs and... Stains. The debris in the room is odd, almost like the it has been thrown around haphazardly, with chairs overturned, shelving torn from it's shelves and flung everywhere, and tables thrown aside.

He glances around the room and sees three doors. Two of these are broken, and he can tell they are a bathroom and closet. The third is closed. There is a window next to the bed, and looking out he sees a bluff marked with small patches of snow. He also spots a very familiar looking Unicorn. The very one he was looking for.

Emerald gets to his hooves, but stumbles. He catches himself, and makes his way to the third door, which seems to lead to a ruined living room. Almost the entire roof has collapsed in this room. In the small areas that aren't covered by snow or trash Emerald can see a well-worn rug that is so dirty he can't even imagine what the original color was.

There are two doors leading off this room, as well as the front door to the house.

What does Emerald do?

>>29797530
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp4rPSX0pGo

I suggest we go to Joyride and sit beside her.

>>29797552
I will echo this suggestion. Throw in a cuddle if we can too. Without saying anything let Joyride know how much we care about her.

>>29797530
Is there anything in the house that we can find like journal or a photo?

>>29797530
Let's go hug the joy

>>29797530
search the closet

>>29797552
>>29797559
these

>>29797530
I would rather not disturb joy
start swimming I am sure we will reach land eventualy.

I guess this is where sunshine lived when she first got married.

>>29797559
I would rather not cuddle. sitting with her is a gesture of being in a similar situation that is what she needs not extra compassion.

>>29797530
Honestly I thought it was going to turn out our compass pointed to the beacon, as in to the house, and not to Joyride herself. But this is a good outcome. Still pissed we left Ruby behind though. First Joy leaves her, then Emerald. Didn't even leave her a note, or bring the dragonfire lamp with us to send her one later.

But on the bright side, Emerald just used teleportation magic, and continued the tradition of passing out after a new spell. Let's go outside. Offer a hug to hopefully Joyride. I wonder how long it's been now after two consecutive sleeps.

>>29797530
If we got this far, then we must go with joyride.

Or all of you would rather have us fucking aroud the city than help one of the only beings that actually helped us instead of ignoring or try to kill us?

>>29797658
Coming here was grtting in her way not helping her.

>>29797530
Go tentatively approach Joy and just sit with her for a moment. Even though I really wanted to know more about her, it still can't be easy for her have these feelings dredged up. I want to show her that she doesn't have be alone in her misery.

There's no point in denying that she was pretty damn stuck on Sunshine now. She's just coming to terms with that.

>>29797599
Not that it wasn't cool that it worked, but I want to know how it worked. I thought for sure it would of been an active spell that works in tangent with the beacon, not something the beacon itself could do.

>>29797680
Well at least she tucked is into the bed, instead of just throwing us over a cliff. She can't be too upset that we followed her here.

>>29797697
This
just sit with her no fucking cuddles

>>29797530
Take the blanket with you. It's cold.

>>29797705
Yeah seems a little odd.
I guess we just followed the trail left by joys spell as our cup of magic was just big enough to power it.

>>29797530
>>29797591
Are you figuratively speaking?

>>29797599
He didn't learn nothing. He used a device.

>>29797705
Probably too advanced for us.

>>29797725
This. Gotta keep warm out there.

>>29797530
Go check joyride

>>29797742
Didn't say he learned anything. But he did use a new spell.

Also I change my mind on hugging Joy. Just sitting by her feels better. Must feel shit to realise that you let your bitterness stop you from even checking to see if your friend was still alive. Sunshine's been dead like 10 years now.

I want to check for any mail on the floor, just to confirm we are at Sunshine's house or something, but I feel the need to comfort Joy trumps all that.

>>29797928
>Sunshine's been dead like 10 years now.
We have no proof that Sunshine is dead only our step parents said that.

I'll be convinced when I see a body.

>>29797954
Or at least someone who has talked to her lately/knew her says she's dead.

Fuck, it's gonna break my heart even more if she turns out to Emmys mom.

I want to give Emerald a big long hut.
But we are nothing but demons in a amulet.

>>29797742
We need a sweet, magically controlled climate control mantle.

>>29797530
Go to Joyride first; we don't know how long Joyride will be in that spot if we look in the closet first. The closet will still be there so that can wait for now.

>>29798018
Fucking bitchin. Save up bits and good boy points so Joyride can hook us up with that shit.

>>29798002
You mean might know if Sunshine is dead or not.

>>29797530
Go spill spaghetti

>>29797530
Go and see Ms. 'Ride. She's looking rather pensive, an unusual mood for her. Don't say anything, just go sit next to her. If she wants to speak, she can speak. If not, just sit and be there for her. These are odd times.

>>29797552

This.
We can check the house later, so far I'm guessing it's Joyrides and Sunshines old house.
