And whether you're new to the thread or you've been here since the start and just want to let out your creativity with a nice one-shot, why not try your hand at an All Star Battle?

Lots of Stands have come out of these threads, both powerful and creative, so what's so wrong with a little competition? Let's see who comes out on top!

>Pick any stands from these threads and come up with a battle!
>Example: [BENZIN] vs. [Rocket Man]
>And if you're feeling really creative, you could write multiple stand users fighting, either in groups or be a huge battle royal.
>Example: The ｢SHADOWBOLTS｣ vs The ｢WONDERCOLTS｣
>And in true JoJo fashion, feel free to get creative with it. Maybe write a conflict that isn't a straight up battle.
>Example: Rainbow Dash decides to prank Pinkie Pie with her newly gained stand, unbeknownst to the fact that Pinkie also possesses one, and shenanigans ensue.

We've had a lot of ASBs so far.

I'll be back to post Care tonight, and then I'll start Marble 2 or Coco 11. Here's a Stand in the meantime.

Name: ｢Superstition｣ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g
User: Rare Find
Ability: Each minute the user is in combat, both they and their opponent can declare a rule, which both must follow for as long as the Stand is active. Rules must be followable for both ponies at the time of declaration. Each time a rule is broken, the Stand drains bone mass from the rulebreaker.

>Your ears are ringing.
>The building’s dark and choking, empty and purposeless.
>You don’t even know what it’s supposed to be for, only the address.
>Goddamned Freshmen.
>You’re stuck in the background, the guts of it, and running too fast to make that out.
>Is your sister okay?
>Be Cloudchaser, doubtful, telling yourself it’ll work out.
>She wasn’t the one with the fragment, the fragment from the pile from the stage.
>Flitter’s the one who got you both into this mess, when she quietly swiped it and had it appraised.
>When she tried cozying up to the popular girls to find out where gem #3 was.
>When she got those three little fucks instead, who gave her this building number.
>She’s going to make it out just fine, you know it.
>She’s the smart one, the one with the backup plans and the safe-zone plotted out.
>...But where did she say it was?
>The ringing in your ears changes, smooths out.
>It’s singing, wordless humming thundering singing from all around you.
>You feel your face vibrate and pick up speed.
>A half-dozen doors pass by before their nameplates can introduce them.
>You face forward, ignoring them.
“AAAH!”
>One of them’s standing at the end of the hallway!
>Her eyes glow red and ravenous against her blue skin.
>Her voice is high-pitched, enjoying herself.
>”The next thing you’ll say is ‘｢Year Without Rain｣!’.”
>Wh-what?
>What the hell does that mean?
>You realize she’s closer than before, why is she closer now?!
>Oh!
>You haven’t stopped running towards her!

>You can barely make out your own words against the singing, even though you heard her fine.
>It’s a thin thing, a little smaller than you, and it kicks out one of its needly legs.
>But it doesn’t connect.
>You risk a look back as you keep running.
>She’s holding the leg with one hand, still looking into your soul.
>You smirk.
>As long as it touched her, its effect has been activated!
>The further you get away from her, the worse her environment will be.
>If you can make it out of here and onto a bus or taxi, she’ll be finished!
>You recall it and keep running.
>But there’s a tugging against your mind, and it stays out.
>No...
>You see over your shoulder.
>Its LEG stays out, still in that grip.
>She twists, and one of your own gives out under you.
>You scramble before you’ve even finished falling.
>Flitter used to trip you, and you’ve learned how to deal with it.
>You hope she’s doing better than you are right now...
>The Dazzling twists the leg further, and something cracks.
>Pain surges up your own, and the urge to limp presents itself.
>Finally, she lets go.
>If you can just make it back down and outside, or to a fire exit, or, or...
>She’s walking up behind you.
>You look for options and find only doors.
>Your first try’s locked, and so’s the next one.
>Why hasn’t she caught up to you yet?
>No, on second thought don’t ask that and don’t turn around either.
>One says “MAINTENANCE”, and the handle works and you take it.
>There’s nothing but darkness inside, and you step inside.
>Through the doorway, you slam it behind you.
>There’s machinery in here, maybe boilers, you don’t know that sort of thing.
>The singing’s muted for a moment, and you scan for other exits.
>This is a much bigger room than you were expecting.
>The other end’s so far away you can’t make it out.
>Or is that just the darkness?

>>30104273
>You feel the handle on the door turning behind you, and you bolt into the dark.
>There aren’t any good hiding places, so you plaster yourself against the first wall you brush.
>The door opens a crack, offering almost no light, no perspective.
>But the singing gets louder again.
>It seems to rattle and resonate from the room around you, somehow.
>Then there is a little light around you, but not from the door.
>It’s red, and coming from below you.
>Your pocket!
>The gem is hot and bright there, like a baby star.
>You shove a hand inside and clench it in your fist to kill the light.
>”Too late for that.”
>This voice is deeper than the last one, unexpectedly conversational.
>And it undoubtedly comes from someone in the room with you.
>Maybe someone right in front of your face!
>You yelp, turn to shield yourself with one shoulder, and start running again.
>Only, you can’t.
>Your feet are stuck to the ground.

>You look with panickedly-adjusting eyes, and see two black clamps over your shoes.
>There are no more words, only a throaty woman’s chuckle in your ear.
“｢Year Without Rain｣!”
>Your Stand appears and pummels at the restraints with its good limbs.
>They hold.
>You just gave up the effect on the blue one for that.
>There’s been no attack yet, and you don’t wait for one.
>Fuck shoes!
>You push against the wall and lift out of them, socks and all.
>And then you bolt away from the voice, away from the door.
>You’re quieter without them, at least!
>Dimly you hope that you don’t step on something and get tetanus.
>But there’s something in the distance after all, a corner!
>And past it, defining it, a light.
>Light, and a hope of escape!
>You hear the laughter again, hardly laughter at all, more primitive.
>The music swells around you, and you push through it.
>You turn the corner at a stumbling run, and see the source.
>A light, hanging in the air like a will-’o-wisp, between yellow-orange hands.
>A long, catlike smirk, underlit by your own hope.
>Long hair casting shadows that could eat the world.
>And the singing, that omnipresent omnificent omnivorous voice you can still feel when the palms close and the light goes out and oh, oh Flitter, why didn’t you warn me about this?

>Standing here, you can feel some echoes of how that might’ve affected you.
>A slight shiver.
>Their eyes are already flitting to you, so you squash it.
>It doesn’t help that Trixie’s all but hiding behind you.
>There’s no point talking to the Rainbooms all at once, you just need answers.
>So you make eye contact with Twilight Sparkle, and say her name.
“Princess Twilight.”

“Could we talk for a moment? I need to find some answers about what’s going on.”
>”What’s that supposed to mean?”

>You don’t react.
>”I don’t think Twilight needs to go anywhere she doesn’t feel comfortable going.”
>Sunset says that, taking a seat next to her shifty friend.
>The rest are silent, looking either at you or the purple girl.
>She shakes her head, like she’s just collected her thoughts.
>”No, girls, it’s fine. I’ve been waiting to talk to Care. We’ll probably need his help soon.”
>That shuts them up, and you too.
>Trixie stiffens behind you.
>”If you want to talk one-on-one, why don’t we go over there?”
>She points to an unoccupied flagpole planted on one end of the sidewalk.
>You nod, but an answer comes over your shoulder before you can talk.
>”That will be acceptable. But Trixie will be a part of the discussion, too.”
>Twilight’s mouth purses at that.
>”I wouldn’t mind talking to you either, Trixie. But if you’re going to join in, I think Sunset should come too. That way it’ll be even.”
>You look to Trixie, who looks to you.
“That sounds fine.”
>So agreed, the four of you move over.

>”Before anything else, I want to clear a couple of things up. First, I don’t have a Stand, so if you use yours to do anything you’ll probably have to tell me. And second, I’m not Princess Twilight.”
>...
>She waits for some response.
>You look to Trixie, who’s come out beside you.
>She looks back at you, hesitant.
“Uh… Who are you, then?”
>”I’m Twilight Sparkle. But I’m not the same Twilight Sparkle as Princess Twilight. She comes from another universe that runs on Equestrian magic. I’ve never met her, but people have been telling me we look the same since everything that happened at the Friendship Games.”
>Okay, that’s a lot to parse.
>You leave your thoughts on magic and other universes to one side for a moment.
“What happened at the Friendship Games?”
>You weren’t there, or you don’t think you were.
>Were they a mandatory event or just something a lot of clubs did?
>Most school spirit things pass you by without so much as a whisper.
>Sunset takes over, touching Twilight’s shoulder.
>”Twilight was a Crystal Prep student, and she invented something to detect and absorb the magic that my friends and I use. When she did, it worked a little too well, and the whole thing turned into chaos.”
>Trixie pipes up.
>”Trixie remembers that.”
>You turn to her, and she looks at you like you’re accusing her of something.
>“...She didn’t realize that there may have been two Twilights, eheh.”
>You turn from your ally to the other end of the proverbial table.
>And you ask the first thing that comes to mind.
“Is that where Stands come from?”
>Twilight bites her lip, and Sunset answers again.
>”We don’t know. Magic’s… well, magic. I knew a lot about it when I lived in Equestria, but-”
>You cut her off.
“You’re from the same place?”
>Sunset sighs.

>And so you get a brief primer in what Equestria is, how it’s cut off from your world in another stretch of the cosmos far away, how magic can be done there, and how portals can be opened to it if someone has enough magical power.
>Trixie nods her head at some of it.
>Princess Twilight’s alleged earlier visits fit in with her versions of events.
>The parts about Sunset taking over the school ring true to you, even though she never really bothered with bullying you.
>”...and Equestria’s where the Dazzlings come from, too. If they stole back all three gems from us, there’s enough Equestrian magic around that they could conquer the world, or just open a portal back to Equestria and try to take it over again.”
>”Which is why we need your help! You can help us get the final gem back from their leader, Adagio, and stop them once and for all!”
>Twilight looks at you earnestly, and then shifts her glasses a little.
>Well, this is… bizarre.
“Why…”
>You pause.
>You don’t have a question on hand, so you improvise.
“Why didn’t you ask me for help sooner, instead of having your friends spy on me?”
>Her face falls.
>”That’s, uh… We were worried you might have been under their spell. You don’t seem like you have a lot of… uh, p-people to turn to when things get rough. We thought we’d have to fight you.”
>Well, that’s not going to happen.
>You feel relieved at how well this is all turning out.
>You almost thought you’d be having some kind of secret duel right now.
“So everything that’s been happening to my friends has been the Dazzlings’ fault?”
>Sunset crosses her arms and nods the affirmative.
>”Pretty much. But if we can stop them from getting all of their power together, they shouldn’t be much more of a problem.”
>The thought of not worrying about using your power constantly is so good you don’t believe it.
“What do you need me to do, then?”
>Twilight pulls out a buzzing item from her pocket.

“Well, I don’t think my parents will mind that much. Where do you want to go?”

“You can spend as much time with me as you like, honey.”
>”Alright. Why don’t I come over in an hour and we’ll just... go out on a drive, or something?”

“Yeah?”
>”What happened to your parents?”
>Oh, that.
>It’s been a while since anyone asked you, but then again, you don’t know many people.
“They’re Raëlians.”
>Before she can ask, you preempt her.
“It’s a religion. Nothing bad, but they didn’t want to stay in Canterlot forever when there were big convents on the other side of the world. Since then, they send money, but they’re too busy trying to make clones of themselves and praying to aliens to really talk to me.”
>Now you think of it, with all of the nonsense you heard this morning, Raël doesn’t sound so far-fetched after all.
>Trixie takes that in.
>”Mine left me on the side of the road, one day.”
>Uh.
>Fuck.
>What do you say to that?
“Ouch.”
>”I don’t know why they did it. They were always happy, or they acted like they were. But by the time I found a way back home, a day and a night later, they were gone. I started to think, and ask myself whether they’d ever been happy. Or if I’d been. Since then, I’ve wondered if it was the Mafia, or the circus, or aliens, but I don’t know.”

And that she would seek to learn all of the devices of trickery and deceit that a person could use to conceal their intentions in this world.”
>She takes a deep breath while your turn-signal clicks back into place.
>The sidewalk ends for a block, and starts up again.
>”They were lying, today.”
>Your hands grip the wheel tighter, but you wait for her to continue.
>”Not about everything. But Trixie could see that they were hiding something.”
>Your chest sinks.
>But you’re driving, so you regain your focus.
“Do you have any idea what they were lying about?”
>She shakes her head in the corner of your eye.
>She looks almost… ashamed.
>You give her what feels like a smile.
“Well, maybe they’re just not as sure as they seemed that this’ll all be over in a couple nights.”
>She shakes her head again, now gazing through the windshield.
>”No.”
>You try to ignore the deepening feeling of dread in your stomach.
>Trixie was already wrong about one thing, wasn’t she?
“You think they were lying about more than that?”
>”No. Of everything they said, I know that they were being honest about that. In fact, I’d say they’re one hundred per-cent sure of it.”
>Both of you spend the rest of the ride dwelling.
>Of course, they could have been lying about magic and Equestria…
>But then again, why would they?
>They didn’t even use it to explain how you had Stands.
>You ponder your conversation, as best you can remember it, until you pull into the driveway.
>And your doormat’s upturned and out of order.
>You realize the key underneath is missing almost immediately, and rush to the door.
>It’s locked.

>>30104445
>You jam the key in.
>As soon as it turns, you throw it open, keys still dangling from the knob.
>The intruder’s standing next to the ancient wall-phone in your kitchen.
>He sees you immediately, and you get an eyeful of him yourself.
>Cream skin, tacky haircut, white dress shirt, pocket protector and bowtie.
>A pin with your symbol on it.
>An intent look in his brown eyes.
>A full copy of you, a clone, a doppelganger.
>”Uh... See you. Bye!”
>He slams the phone onto the receiver.
>No sooner has he done that than he faces you and shouts.
>”｢Counting Crows｣!”
>A pair of black birds appear on his shoulders, and you start to feel...
>Woozy?
>Is this what it feels like to be drunk?
>You stagger backwards, maybe in delayed reaction to seeing your own image.
>One swoops toward you, and ｢Timbuk Three｣ appears between it and you.
>As it points a finger, the bird flies in a circle around it.
>You suddenly feel physically weak.
>Is this a Stand attack?
>You fire a laser straight at him.
>It impacts, directly at the heart.
>But he’s not even singed.
>In fact, you feel worse!
>Your mind clouds with this sudden vibrating energy, skull pounding.
>Your image treads up to you, hand outstretched.
>You’re entranced.
>It’s you, you know it’s you, it’s definitely you.
>And if it touches you, you know both of you will fall apart.
>You’ll equal out to zero!
>With animal fear, you jump away from him and into a wall.
>Your Stand fires a volley of laser, which impact but do no damage.
>”You can’t kill yourself, Care. You could if I was just here on my own. In fact, we’d both be dead right now. But ｢BBD｣’s suppressing that, for a while, and it’s given me a mission. No hard feelings.”

>He holds his arm closer to you, and you put a screen of hard light between it and your face.
>The bird still perched on his shoulder alights and swoops through it.
>A feeling of supreme wrongness seizes up and down your body as it does, and the light breaks.
>His fingers, your fingers, come closer.
>And then, suddenly, they’re on the other side of the room.
>Trixie steps in between you and your other self, arms spread like she’s taking a blast for you.
>Her Stand hangs over her, a curtain of glittering blue star-smoke.
>”Stay away from Care, you dastardly duplicate! Trixie demands an explanation!”
>He smirks, and one of birds comes out of your periphery, glancing against your forehead.
>The feeling becomes overpowering, and you pass out.

>Be Trixie.
>The birds swoop away, deeper into the house.
>Care’s imposter is standing on the other side of the room.
>Even their stances seem familiar, although their Stands are clearly different.
>You can sense that this man is either the highest caliber of actor, or really Care Root.
>Because you don’t open the conversation, he does.
>”Hey, Trixie. It’s nice to meet you again.”
>You scoff.
“The Great and Powerful Trixie has never met a crook like yourself before!”
>”Well, not here you haven’t. I worked for you in my universe. You offered me a position fighting the Rainbooms, and my ｢Counting Crows｣ helped you out of a few bad situations.”
“Is this just a stalling tactic?”
>”No. I’m just telling you that I like you. Not many people ever reached out to me. I don’t want to hurt you, and they’re not making me.”
>There’s no violence in his face or his movements.
>Could it really be, another universe...?

>”I’m from CHS. Just a different CHS. It’s not going to be much different by the time I’m done, but you’ll be fine in the end. You’re a scrapper, Trixie. I’ve always liked that about you.”
>He starts walking for the door.
>You shake Care, but he doesn’t wake up.
>”He’ll only be out for a few hours, until ｢Boulevard of Broken Dreams｣ wears off and I get to go back home. That’ll happen sooner if you don’t make me fight you.”
>You turn to him, standing up straight.
>You aren’t going to let this happen!
>Before he can make it halfway, your Stand sets him back to the far wall.
>He looks at you, scowling through spontaneously tired eyes.
>One of the birds careens out of the rest of the house, heading for you.
>It’s holding something, a can of air freshener.
>You create more space between it and yourself, and duck.
>It flies over your head anyway, heading for the kitchen.
>The other bird’s already there, clawing at the dial for one of the stovetop burners.
>”｢Abracadabra｣’s a powerful ability, but you can only use it to do so much at one time.”
>The can hits the flame, teeters, and stops stably above it.
>The birds fly back towards you.
>And then he starts to walk toward the door again.
>You don’t understand what he’s trying to do, which part of his actions is vital!
>But you won’t let him leave!

>Again, they don’t harm you.
>Looks like they were a bluff after all!
>You’re ready to demand another explanation when the air freshener explodes.
>A burst of noxious heat smashes into you, and churning black smoke envelopes half of the kitchen.

>He points to the fire extinguisher hooked onto the wall next to the refrigerator.
>You judge the distance.
>It’s too near to the fire to grab safely, close to being enveloped already.
>”I guess I have a different Stand in this universe, so you wouldn’t already know how ｢Counting Crows｣ works.”
>The birds settle on his shoulders again, not that you’re really watching.
“｢Abracadabra｣!”
>You create space between the extinguisher and the fire, and rush over to unhook it.
>It takes a long, frustrated tug to rip it away, and then--
>Then…
>You could swear on anything you knew how to use this before.
>You look down at it, clutched in your hands, like it’ll give you some clue.
>”I wonder why it is that I’d have a different Stand here. Especially such a complicated, powerful one. I guess I never really thought I could take center stage like that. You won’t figure out how to use that, by the way. Or the sink.”
>That’s right, you don’t know how the sink works either, and you know you knew that!
>So this is his Stand attack!
>You discard the extinguisher and move to hit him again.
>But he’s at the door, already ripping the keys out of the lock!

>He makes no attempt to hurt Care on his way out.
>”Making enough space to push me into the fire would’ve been a good idea. Unfortunately, it’s over for you now. Better find a way outside.”
>As the fire rages at your back, he shuts the door behind him.

>But she doesn’t find you.
>As far as she can tell, you’ve vanished completely.

>Be Derpy, in the car with Care.
>He’s been silent since he said a passing hello to your sisters.
>He doesn’t make a lot of eye contact with you, and his shoulders are hunched.
>How can you figure out what’s on his mind?
>Was it because someone came into his house?
>You don’t want to think that Trixie might be threatening him, somehow.
>No, there’s no way someone could threaten him...
>You’re not sure where you’re going, but it’s not in the direction of the restaurant district.
>No, you’re heading through a bunch of nothing.
>The silence feels way too awkward, like there’s a third person in the car with you.
”Are we going outside Canterlot?”
>He grunts.
>”Yeah. It’ll only be a few more minutes.”
>What’s a few minutes outside of Canterlot?
>Nothing, as it turns out.
>Just orchard country, various used-up acres of farmland.
>It’s like a buffer between the city and its various mountain ridges.
>He drives on for a little while, and finally stops by the time you see a couple of dirt roads.
>He just pulls over onto the shoulder of the flat dusky road, next to a field.
>Then, he gets out, and heads for the field.
>He doesn’t open your door for you.
>Maybe he just forgot.
>He really does have a lot on his mind right now, you’re sure.
>And, after all, he’s trying to be romantic.

”What’s eating you?”
>He sighs to himself, not facing you.
>You reach an arm around his back and rub his upper arms through his sleeves.
>He twitches like you spooked him, and then relaxes just as quickly.

“What about?”
>Then he steps to the side and turns to you.
>His eye contact is shaky, not like normal, switching eyes.

“O-okay. What about us?”
>”Just. Where we’re going. What I’m doing here, after all of this. I’ve… lost a lot of our future already.”

“It’s okay. You’ve given up so much for me and my family, and I’m going to pay it all with you. That’s… only right.”
>Your voice drops off when you see him shake his head.
>”No, I shouldn’t even say ‘our future’. It’s my future. And I’ve burned it up, for... what?”

>He’s acting so strangely it doesn’t even look like real pain on his face.
>Your heart squirms, and you rush forward.


>Be Trixie.
>You can hear them searching the house.
>If you listen well, you can hear them talking.
>Apparently they forwent the masks.

>Well, you don’t know.
>Especially not if you still have to worry about Care.
>And if his car’s not out there.
>Uncertainty grips you, and you hunker down.

>A-any second he’s going to whisper something that makes all of this--
>He turns to you, now plainly annoyed.

>And, with straining control that rips your voice from your throat in a yell, ｢Timbuk Three｣ envelopes her hand in blue light.
>The wound’s cauterized before she can scream, and she stumbles past you.
>Something about that makes you lurch internally, but you ignore it.
>The arrow.
>You focus again as the room fills up with pointless designs and wastes of your ability.
>She’s stunned at what you just did to her friend.
>Well, there’s more where that fucking came from!
>She backs up when the light appears on her arm, stumbling and trying to keep the arrow steady.
>You fire a laser through her calf, and she topples.
>Then you wrench the arrow from her with a light construct, holding it away from you.
>It’s golden, deeply engraved with designed like little starbursts, but no real symbols.
>And it thrums with energy, a cousin to the bird that interfered with your Stand.

>You’ve got… three of these lights left.
>The blue-haired girl jumps at you, hand outstretched.
>You turn and grab her by the collar in mid-lunge, pulling her face up to yours.
>The ferocious face she’d been making freezes, and becomes a mask of fear.
“WHERE’S DERPY?”
>She just stares at you.
>This is a waste of time.
>Seconds could be critical here, it could already be too-
>No.
>You let go of her and pull out your cell phone.
>Your thumb’s too slow, but you manage to call her after eight grueling seconds.
>The number rings, while your two attackers try to recover themselves.
>And keeps ringing...

>Where it finally lands, in Derpy’s phone, you concentrate your energy.
>Time to get a look...
>｢Timbuk Three｣ dutifully notes all of the light within thirty feet of the phone.
>Around you, it moves and bounces the photons to match.
>A perfect real-time hologram extends into your house, and through it.

｢TO BE CONTINUED｣

Temporary replacement endtheme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u-BoI_kFt8

Stand: ｢Year Without Rain｣
User: Cloudchaser
Ability: When a target is touched by the user, the environment becomes more and more inhospitable to the target the further the two are from each other. Puddles become bottomless sinkholes, earthquakes strike single city blocks, strange forests get in the way of the rest of civilization, and at a certain distance the environment becomes completely unsurvivable.

Stand: ｢Counting Crows｣
User: Care Root
Ability: Takes the form of two moderately-sized black birds, usually perched on the user's shoulders. Both can move independently of the user at any range, and steal information from the things they pass, which they transfer to the user by touch.

Stand: ｢Boulevard of Broken Dreams｣
User: ???
Ability: Summons things from other universes which have killed some version of the target. Only one thing can be summoned at a time, and can be dismissed at will. The user has no control over what’s summoned, but cannot be harmed by it. Instances of the target killing themselves are not summoned, and when people are summoned, this ability prevents them from experiencing the negative effects of meeting their alternate selves.

Stand: ｢Royals｣
User: Sunny Flare
Ability: Makes anything the user touches symmetrical along one axis of their choosing. Anything the user touches for more than one minute remains symmetrical unless the user consciously dismisses the effect, or can be made symmetrical only in part.

Ditherer, this is without a single doubt in my heart the best thing you've written here so far.
You have acomplished so much with this episode, you introduced new concepts in the story like the arrow and parallel universes Could this mean a possible tie in or explanation to the setting in "ASB:We Three Kings"? Probably not.
You made Care and Derpy overcome the worst obstacle yet in their relationship, and their bond became even stronger from it.

>Wait.
>...Pink?

This has become my favorite moment in CRBA.

And even after all of this, we still haven't seen the CLIMAX of the story!
We are gonna need some more tamer greens or shorts in-between this and the following episode, cause after all this hype I feel as spent as Care and Derpy.
Keep it up!
Oh, and R.I.P. the Storm Sisters from this universe.

Alright, another stand to bump the thread
[Shatter Me] takes the form of hundreds of shards of glass that, when together, form a large pair of wings
The user can either fire these shards at high speeds or refract and focus light through them to generate blasts of consentrated light or complex laser grids
Despite it's appearance, it can't fly
Brought to you from the guy that made [Mr. Brightside] and dreamt up [Brave New World]

>Could this mean a possible explanation of "We Three Kings"?
I wasn't going to go into it in canon, although pulling in an alternate Care was an attempt at the same technique; I'm approaching the mystery elements of this story by showing how things are different if one element gets changed. For this, it's that Care doesn't have ｢Timbuk Three｣, which isn't JoJo-legal. For W3K, it's that the Dazzlings tracked him down early in the story.

This whole episode was just about getting most of the latecomers introduced and giving better shape to the conflict, as well as removing Care's safety net and putting an ultimate test to his relationship with Derpy. Which, of course, made it a great opportunity to show off how crazy it gets when he goes all-out.

>We are gonna need some tamer greens
Well, I'm planning on giving Coco some hype-juice in her next episode, but the part of Marble I'm looking forward to is in Act 3. Might move it forward and skip the current Act 2, but I'm not sure yet.

This is my first real attempt at making my audience feel emotional pain, and I'm glad it and the climax got the same reaction they gave me.

What's funny is that I'm always worried readers are going to pick these things to pieces, and the more writing books I read lately the more subtle and large errors I notice in all my shit up to now, so I never know for sure if anything I post is gonna tank.

Hey guys, its the anon working on the lewd stand story. I got some help from guys in the /d/ erotic lit discord and I figured this is a good place to share what I was working on. Not sure if the actual erotic lit thread on /d/ will be as welcoming.

These are all quite interesting!
And I'll admit some of them even make me feel a bit hot and bothered.
I like the villains stands the most. Some of them are similar to stand ideas I wanted to use, just you know... less lewd. Although [CANT GET NO SATISFACTION] sounds waaay too similar to what I may have done with that song. Also, is [JUST LIKE FIRE] gimmick supposed to be fireplay?
The thing that interests me the most are what characters are going to use these stands, for what purpose and in which circumstances. There seem to be some battles and rivalries stated already so I'm looking forward to them.

>>30110363
HOLY CRAP STAR ANON liked my stuff! Thats quite the confidence booster!

>what characters are going to use these stands, for what purpose and in which circumstances.
Anyway, The main story is going to revolve around the main character [SWEET NOTHINGS] (I don't have the names down yet so I just refer to characters by their stand names), getting roped into the world of stands after witnessing a fight between [MR.TORTURE] and [JUST LIKE FIRE] and saving the former from being injured by the latter. After that he's taken to a bdsm club and gets healed by [DOWN ON THE FARM], awakening his stand soon after. From there he works with the club rounding up rogue stand users and tracking down people with more insidious and powerful stands, learning more about himself and helping the other characters learn more about themselves. I could say more but those are spoilers.


>There seem to be some battles and rivalries stated already so I'm looking forward to them.
Some of the characters already have rough beefs and rivalries with each other and I'm hoping to flesh those out once I get the time to sit down and think about character history. All my time has been spent hammering out the stands and I still have at least 3 more villain stands to go and the major side characters' stands.

> [JUST LIKE FIRE] gimmick supposed to be fireplay?
Yea that guys kink was fire play.

One friend told me the tf abilities for [SWEET NOTHINGS] came a bit out of nowhere so I was thinking of either foreshadowing it Act 2 of [SWEET NOTHINGS] or just making a completely different character have the tf stand. Still up in the air rn but I'll be working on it all summer.

>HOLY CRAP STAR ANON liked my stuff! Thats quite the confidence booster!
You make it sound like I'm some kind of big deal, but either way I'm glad my opinion motivated you.

The plot sounds interesting. I'm looking forward for when the green comes out, or maybe a short to see how these "Kink" Battles, or should it be "Fetish Stands"?, play out.

[JUST LIKE FIRE] fetish is currently listed as foreplay in the paste instead of fireplay... although now I'm wondering how a foreplay based stand would work.
I'll admit i don't know well most of these fetishes so I'm looking forward to the extent they can be used.

Don't forget to make a tripname and tell us if you update your pastbin!

I fucking love ｢Sweet Nothings｣, It's ability, It's design, it just sounds like a really interesting stand to both write and read about, and fits perfectly as the MC's Stand in a lewd JoJo story. also ｢P!NK｣ not only sounds like it could lead to some hilarious and lewd situations, but can be downright terrifying. Like imagine getting hit with multiple ｢Blow Me One Last Kiss｣ Bullets while the target's out in public. He wouldn't be able to control his/her carnal urges and just jack off all over the place or worst, like attempted rape or some shit. you could ruin someones entire life with that shit, like that scares me honestly.

But your villains though, YOUR VILLAINS M8, I'm really feeling some of these stands you got for them, especially ｢Paint It Black｣ and ｢Welcome To The Jungle｣, they seem like they could lead to alot of really cool settings for fights. I can't wait to read your story at it's fullest my man. keep doing you.

>>30110891
Gotcha dude! This will probably start as a green but I want to make it more like an episodic story series, with SN and the gang fighting stands (mostly) outside of their normal life and having to take them out. I had the idea of stands expanding as their user's explore their own sexuality and come to terms with their kinks and stuff, but as of now thats really only present in a few evolving stands right now.

Also, thanks for the catch in the pastebin. I just fixed it.

>>30110944
>It's ability, It's design, it just sounds like a really interesting stand to both write and read about, and fits perfectly as the MC's Stand in a lewd JoJo story.
Holy shit, thanks French! Thats exactly what I was going for with the concept. I was heavily inspired by how JOJO made most of the stands and their abilities relate to their user's lives or desires and I really tried to make [SWEENT NOTHINGS] reflect that. When the story starts it's user is in a funk after breaking up with a girl. Instead he fulfills his desires by writing short lewd stories both as a way to cope and to make himself feel better for reasons I'll explain once I get the character pastebin written. His stand reflects this and the opponent's he'll fight reflect his journey to self acceptance.

> P!NK｣ not only sounds like it could lead to some hilarious and lewd situations, but can be downright terrifying. Like imagine getting hit with multiple ｢Blow Me One Last Kiss｣ Bullets while the target's out in public.
That's exactly it's users MO. He gets off on the concept of love and his stand basically makes him a really fucked up Cupid. The fight I have planned involves one of the main characters trying to locate and take out [P!NK] while [DOWN ON THE FARM] and a bunch of other people are all blissed out and trying to have their way with him. I think it's one of the cooler fights I drafted.

> I'm really feeling some of these stands you got for them, especially ｢Paint It Black｣ and ｢Welcome To The Jungle｣, they seem like they could lead to a lot of really cool settings for fights.
I haven't really thought of that many settings but most of the stands I've come up with are giving me some ideas. [WttJ] could take place in a wrestling ring, [WHITE CHRISTMAS] just might take place in a comic store or somewhere that has a lot of figurines. And the others might have locations just as cool. I'm still drating it but I'll be sure to show you guys what I got when it's done!

that sounds super lit my guy, This shit really sounds like it's gonna be a hoot. If you donl;t mind me asking though, is this story gonna be /mlp/ related too or just strictly jojo only? I know that sounds silly to say in a thread like this but honestly I've seen nothing to suggest that it has anything to do with mlp otherwise. I'm not complaining, I'll take good jojo in any form, i'm just asking out of curiosity.

>>30111102
it's not goint to be mlp related at all. There might be a reference or too now that you got me thinking of cartoons, maybe a stand that brings cartoon characters to life, but as of now I won't be making it related to /mlp/.

Also, I actually have to go for tonight. The internet at my place is down and I've been posting from a coffeebean that's about to close. I'll see you guys and your punch ghosts tomorrow, probably with an update to the character sheets and the side characters. Have a good night!

Derpy's got Wall Eyes

>>30107608
Another idea
There's already [Scary Monsters], so i figured why not?

[Nice Sprites]

[Nice Sprites] takes takes the form of a roughly humanoid cluster of "pixel" blocks
[Nice Sprites] can take on the form and abilities of any character or item the user has seen in a game, so long as the game's graphics were in 64-bit or lower
Once a form has been used, it can't be used again until the user plays the game again

gonna include a friend now who has a stand that can bring drawn characters to life. Workshopping him as a more competent [WHITE CHRISTMAS] but I don't have a name for him yet. Also, I think I'll try my luck and post what I got to both /d/ and /a/ and see how badly my anus gets destroyed. Would be slightly fun.

Also, I think the plant appraiser is this universe's Rohan and he's going to have a pretty HECKING unique stand.

I hope you get lucky on those boards. Be sure to drop a link to the pastebin here eitherway, I'm quite interested in your characters.

I lost my marbles when the Appraiser started to explain step by step how to make Romanoff.
I was expecting some Rohan like character too, but there are some shades of Superfly on this chapter. I can't wait to see how this will develop.

Hot damn, this is an interesting topic.
Wish I got here at the first general cause I sincerely doubt I can get caught up now...

>>30116687

there's a whole catalouge for reading right at the tippy top of this thread my guy, sure it's alot, but that shouldn't deter you. keep reading my guy, I promise you'll catch up in no time

>>30113626
Lyra would have my back, and maybe Sweetie Belle on principle. Everyone else would be neutral, and Care would probably resent that I've personally engineered his life to be full of suffering. Granted, I wouldn't mind chatting with Silver about her autonomous character development.

>>30113619
I'd say bump with them. The more content bumps we have, the better.

>>30114067
Moondancer Makes Friends (Cameo)
After watching her classmates being slaughtered by an unknown monster during the Summer Sun Celebration, Ramona "Moondancer" Danzig wakes up 19 days earlier with the power of Stand, and must befriend her peers to keep the masscre from repeating itself.

Thinking over this again, I think this may be our first verbal, inteligent Stand. And I'm hype that it looks like Care and Derpy could be characters.

>>30115986
Good opening. Love the Romanoff and the chairlift, couldn't help but think of ｢Fineshrine｣ when I saw the rats.

>>30116687
Just jump in, man. Pick a story, ask a question, leave a review of what you're reading, post a prompt, invent a Stand, whatever you like.

>>30116687
Try out one of the "completed" stories then.

>>30116816
Coolio. I read some of the ongoing story descriptions and yours seemed the most interesting, so I guess I'll start with that...

I also have watched the show for a couple of seasons. Probably why I missed these threads, fell out of the "fandom" for a while.

Oh Damn nigga, thanks, but I'm gonna admit that I have the weakest story here, so you probably won;t find it as enjoyable as most of the other stories here. tell me what you think so far when you're done though, I'd love top hear more f e e d b a c k.

Well, fuck me.
I can't get my brain working tonight.
Guess no MLJ tonight.
Fuck.

>>30116969
>I also have watched

These ASB things might be neat if it explained the stands beforehand but I guess I'd just need to search for it? It's not overly intuitive regardless.

>>30117083
It's fine cameo, happens to me all the time if that makes you better
It probably doesn't

>>30117098
Honestly my guy, I could probably make a pastebin full of all the MC stands if it'll help you any. IDK if that'd be ok with everyone else though.

>>30117205
>Honestly my guy, I could probably make a pastebin full of all the MC stands if it'll help you any.
Don't bother, cause I probably wouldn't read it anyways. Not like I'm going to read and memorize every single stand considering I probably won't read every single story.

Alright, next stand
[Gunmetal Black] can cause a number of holes to appear on any solid metal surface
These holes resemble the barre of a gun, and can fire bullets seemingly created from nothing without interfering with the regular function if the metal the holes are on
These holes can only exist as long as either the stand or user maintains contact with the surface
[Gunmetal Black] looks like a mix between a samurai and gray fox from metal gear
(Note: [Gunmetal Black]'s range is about 1 foot)

[TWENTY ONE BUMPS]

>>30132378
[Blurryface] has no known form
When activated, it covers the user's face, as well as any additional targets in what can best be described as a mix between smoke and a pixilated censor
Upon using [Blurryface] the user and/or target becomes completely ignored by the world
Anything done to someone outside of [Blurryface]'s effect by someone under it's effect will go completely unnoticed until [Blurryface] is dismissed
[Blurryface] has an effective range of 30 feet

Continued from Pastebin.

>Well, it looks like the children would have been useful after all.
>Still, how're they doing all of this, you wonder?
>You understand that JoJo knows how to use Hamon energy because of her karate class.
>But how did Angel inflict paralysis on that other child?
>And how did Gioia use a ball of all things to spin a person's arm like a helicopter without harming them?
>G: “Doctor, are you alright?”
>You look over at Gioia with a confused expression.
“Fine, thanks. How did you girls get here?”
>Angel shrugs.
>A: “We walked.”
>...
>Cheeky lil’ brat, you’ll give her that.
“Oh no, I meant, how did you find the mine?”
>Gioia speaks up.
>G: “Poindexter told us the smells he remembered, and we figured out that it was the mine near the cornfield.”
>Well, that explains that. Angel must’ve been listening to you.
>Still, their powers are quite extraordinary.
“And what about your powers?”
>Gioia looks at the ball she’s holding, and holds it up with a superior air.
>G: “My daddy taught me the Spin game! He said to play it with someone who tries to hurt me!”
>You analyze the ball as it spins in her hand.
>Gracious, is that the same Spin as was used by ancient executioners?
>And did Gioia call it a game?
>These humans repurposed a style of execution into a game?
>You can't help but laugh.
“That's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”

>>30140212

>You look at Angel, curiously.
“And what about you? You somehow froze that other child.”
>Angel looks away, blushing in embarrassment as she put her hands behind her back.
>”... Ricky says I'm not supposed to talk about my power.”
>Huh. Must be a secret, then.
>But wait…
“Weren't you going to tell me earlier when you wanted to come with me?”
>She nods, dropping her hands to the side.
>”It's my Stand. It's called ｢ROCK YOU｣, and it has the ability to make things harder.”
>You tilt your head.
“A Stand? What's a Stand?”
>Angel looks up at you, holding her hands close to her chest.
>”Ricky says Stands are friendly ghosts that protect you when you need help, and that I'm very special to be born with one. But only Stand users can see it.”
>How curious.
>You pull out a pair of 3d glasses, putting them on your face.
>Oh wow. You imagine your face reflects awe.
>That's...Even more brilliant.
>You can't see the details, but you see the faint outline of psychic energy in the form of a humanoid.
“A class 4 controlled psychic manifestation with the ability to alter matter fueled by…”
>You take a moment to taste the air.
>You know that taste.
“Willpower! That's amazing, that is! I never thought I'd see willpower based psychic energy after Skara 4!”
>You let out a haughty laugh, as the girls look at you in confusion.
>A: “What are you talking about, Doctor?”
>You wave a hand dismissively.
“Oh, never you mind about that. The important thing is, I was wrong.”
>You kneel down in front of the little blonde haired girl.
“Angel, I'm going to need your help.”

>>30140221

>You are Carandini, the dark master hidden beneath Canterlot.
>Once a human, now no more.
>You were once an Italian stage magician.
>You cared about your image, and were one of the best.
>There were those who tried to debunk you, but the amazing Carandini couldn't be debunked.
>You even fooled the great Speedwagon at one point.
>Gregory Speedwagon, an entertainer in his own right.
>Said to have a girlfriend in every city from Baltimare to Stalliongrad.
>He made a living not just as a comedian, but also exposing frauds, such as fortune tellers and street magicians.
>He didn't take too kindly to you duping him.
>He swore he’d find out how you were doing your tricks.
>You didn't pay him mind at the time, but maybe you should have.
>During one of your biggest events, that bastard exposed you for a charlatan.
>You were laughed offstage, and in that moment, you swore revenge against the man for ruining your livelihood.
>It was then that a man approached you.
>He promised great power to you if you did what he asked.
>Enough power to put Speedwagon in his place, and make you a master magician again.
>That's when the stranger gave you a mask of stone.
>With newfound power, you stalked the streets of Rome, getting used to your power.
>And when you were ready, you tracked down Speedwagon.
>Your reputation as a magician didn't matter anymore.
>You just wanted revenge against the man who ruined you.
>When you confronted him in Canterlot, he realized instantly who and what you were.
>It was clever of him to lead you into this mine.
>Before he caused that cave-in, trapping you, you managed to get a good smack in his gut.
>You later learned that you caused an internal wound that wound up killing him.
>Though you didn't get to enjoy it, your revenge was complete.

>>30140227

>Looking back now, you still don't regret your choice to wear the mask.
>After you did, you became so much more than what you were.
>Fortune was worthless, now.
>No longer did you have to save for retirement, for retirement didn't apply to you anymore.
>Fame? If you wanted that, you could be known as the world's emperor.
>No, the only thing driving you now was power.
>Power was something that you could attain easily given enough time.
>And you had an entire civilization's worth of time.
>This cave-in was only a minor setback, and something you could easily recover from, given a few hundred years.
>The only real hindrance to your plans is the Doctor.
>He knows too much. He's far too clever for his own good.
>And the Hamon energy he uses is capable of ruining everything.
>Those accursed children from before, they've managed to link up with the Doctor.
>They've defeated the psychic children that you were controlling!
>But no matter.
>They'll arrive soon, and when they do…
>Your plans will spell out the death of them all.

>It'll be up to you to protect the Doctor and prince Poindexter.
>Such is the duty of the elite, you suppose.>As you get ready to round a corner, the Doctor stops the group.

>The Doctor is really serious.
>You and the girls exchange glances, and nod.
“We're ready, Doctor.”
>The Doctor smiles.
>”Right, then. Allons-y!”
>He turns, and you continue to follow him with your friends.
>You all round the corner, and are shocked by what you see.
>It looks like a stack of rocks grew a big pimple.
>You scrunch your nose in disgust.
“Gross.”
>Then, the skin of the pimple starts sliding back.
>A man appears, looking really thin and sick-looking.
>He licks his lips with a black tongue, showing you his sharp fangs.
“Super gross.”

>”Doctor.”
>The sick guy speaks.
>”I see you survived my servant's assault.”
>The doctor casually strides forward.
>”Oh, I've been a survivor for a long time, Carandini. And I know there's no way you can stand up to both me and my little friends, here.”
>Carandini frowns.
>”You underestimate me, Doctor. I still have one last trick up my sleeve.”
>As the other kids under his control gather around him, hands start popping up out of the earth.
>People in old Miner's outfits pull themselves out of the ground, looking decayed and scary.
>Other people appear as well, business people, police, and people dressed in street clothes.
>Their bodies are all rotten, looking like they're ready to fall apart.
“Mega gross.”
>You get your balls ready.
>You see your friends also get ready to fight.
>They're probably gonna try to rush you, right?
>Using those kids as shields?
>Totally uncouth.
>You get ready to throw your ball, but then…
>...the zombies grab the kids!
>Every one of them allows themselves to be picked up by the zombies!
>The Doctor steps forward, shouting.
>”Carandini, what are you playing at?!”
>Carandini chuckles.
>”It's simple, Doctor! You and those girls have the ability to destroy my flesh buds. Therefore, you would not try and harm these children. Indeed, you would sooner try and rescue them. Which means they're the perfect leverage to use against you.”
>That's despicable!
>This vile, uncouth dummy!

>>30140271

And that's it for this update. Honestly, this part of the story is what gave me the most trouble. Hopefully, since the worst is passed, I can get this chapter done, and get back to my regularly scheduled programming. I'm actually not too satisfied with this update, though. But after writing, rewriting, and rewriting again, I feel like this is as good as it's gonna get.

>>30140352
I liked it. Carandini's past was something we needed and seeing that he had some sort of connection to a Speedwagon wasn't something I expected.
I'm looking forward to see how the girls will outwit that uncouth and gross villain!.

What will happen when all the stories reach their inevitable end, will the writefags take a break or make a new story moving the generation of their characters forward.

I don't like planning that far ahead, but I do think Care and Coco are going to be the only large things I write, and spending another year trying to top them would be silly.

If new writefags join and keep the wheel turning, I look forward to what they make. And if the general ends only with the current stories completed, that's more than the average anon could ask for. Either way, posting here's given me company in my offday-solitude and resurrected me as a writer. When we go, you should know you're all my very best friends.

>>30142020
I have thought about moving generations on my stories, but I feel I still have much to do before that.
I'm sure these threads will last for a good while.

GET THE FUCK UP BEFORE YOU GOT 404!

>>30140271
Some things feel wrong to write but fine to read, and I think this is one of them. Carandini's history is interesting, but the part I enjoyed most in this update was that the Doctor recognized the Spin and thought its repurposing was cool.

Marble Pie’s Bizarre Adventure, Act 2: The Leisure Lost, or A Heady Tale

>Be the incredible, unmatchable Daring Do, running through the jungle.
>You’ve fought a fair share of these strange abilities now, and you wonder if you’re keeping yours.
>The name’s still tingling at the edge of your mind.
>You got this one from your arrow, while he made off with the other.
>So far, you’ve come within spitting distance of three, and learned how unhelpful your power is.
>｢Universe Alone｣, ｢Young Lust｣ and ｢Selfish Art｣...
>If you could match the faces to the powers, this would be so much easier!
>But they’re all familiar.
>Your mind keeps being drawn to old mysticism...
>The Universe, Lust, Art...
>Tarot cards.
>Major Arcana in the Thoth Deck, to be specific.
>Celestia, and here you thought you’d sworn off anything with Thoth in the name for good.
>You stop, check the coast, and fly up into the branches of the trees.
>All of that is only a day on the job, for you.
>But when your own arrow pierced your skin, you didn’t get one fitting the pattern.
>No, it’s... ｢Writer｣. Something, ｢Writer｣.
>There aren’t any writers in the Thoth Tarot.
>You can only conclude that each of the arrows has a different effect, even though they don’t seem to have any distinguishing marks.
>If anything, this just makes acquiring both even more important.
>You finally see the truck through the ropey green entanglements.
>And a hint of trademark colors.
>Only someone like Caballeron would need to spend the exorbitant money for a truck.
>Those things run on magically-tempered fossil remains.
>All that lost information, all those subsumed dangers and adventures...
>Well, it sums up Caballeron’s approach to history almost perfectly.

>Not that you’re campaigning to make every sunken temple a museum.
>But you at least understand that history has teeth.
>You keep a safe distance until you’re ready to dance with it.
>Then you do your business and get out of Dodge.
>Caballeron’s a big fan of smacking the dragon right on the snout.
>It’s why you could never work with him, and why he asked you anyway.
>Ugh, the way his eyebrows waggled.
>You flap harder and swerve rightwards for him.
>He’s riding in the back, while two of his henchponies sit in the front, one driving.
>You use your power to check each of their lines of sight in turn.
>It’s almost like snapping stills with a camera.
>You keep yourself in Caballeron’s blind spot, flying lower.
>He doesn’t have the arrow out, so it must be in the crate next to him.
>You won’t be able to get it in a single swoop without a distraction.
>You follow the trail it’s making, extrapolating outwards.
>There’s a very rough-and-tumble road laid out, and it’s sloping upwards.
>You don’t have the altitude to make it out correctly, and you can’t check without losing them.
>But you think this is heading up and eastward.
>Toward Smoking Mountain in the distance.
>Figures it would be the volcano.
>Is there something important about it that only he knows about?
>You only found this place through rumor, but he’s the sort to buy up rare books.
>Well...
>Like always, there’s only one way to find out.
>You keep close to the truck, following it on its path.
>And wait for your opportunity.

>Be Marble Pie.
>You’re in your kitchen, standing with your sisters around a map of Equestria laid over the table.
>Maud picks these up on her visits to see Pinkie, and there’s a stack of them pressed into one of the upper shelves of the family closet.
>And next to it, the Choosing Stone.
>It’s rounded on one end and pointy on the other, like an arrowhead, but otherwise smooth speckled grey.
>Like a knife or an arrow, it points toward the answer of whatever you ask it.
>Ma and Pa were the last to use it, and so it’s really responsible for you and your sisters existing in the first place.
>Well, at least as much as destiny.
>Ma pulled it out of hiding - under their pillow - to give to you personally.
>And to tell you how to set it all up.
>Pa… wasn’t able.
>They both knew immediately that the farm wasn’t in a good state.
>You may not have time to save it.
>But even using this as a step in the right direction, neither of them wanted to see you do this.
>”We can only use this with the right tools. A map’s not enough, not for this.”
>Lime mutters as she walks back and forth over it.
>Maud pulls out a giant sheaf of paper from the pack she’s now wearing, and drops it beside the map.
>It reads, in mundane manuscript font, “Daring Do and the Arrow of Ages [WORKING TITLE]“
>Lime’s nervous, but nods at that.
>”Alright. Then I guess it’s time.”
>She draws closer, looking at the Stone like it’s going to turn into a snake.
>Maud holds her back with a hoof, waving her away.
>”I provided the materials. I’ll use it.”
>Limestone sours, growling.
>”You mean you’ll try sacrificing yourself because you’re the oldest.”
>”Yes.”
>Maud gazes at the Stone instead of her sister.
>”If it only works for a pony once, then it should be me.”
>Limestone pulls her muzzle over so they’re making eye contact again.
>”Then how are you going to find your spousal somepony, rockhead?”
>Maud shrugs.

>You’re a little shocked, too.
>The Choosing Stone’s always been used by the family to create and confirm marriages.
>Using it for reconnaisance almost feels dirty.
>A picture of Yearling’s smirk as she trotted away fills your head.
>Dirty tactics for dirty opponents.
>Maud pushes Lime back slightly, and turns back to the Stone.
>She’s apprehensive, too, but she cracks her neck.
>Then she approaches it.
>”No!”
>Lime runs, shooting a small mist of broken glass from her mouth.
>It tinkles against the ground, glittering.
>Maud keeps her front hoof up to avoid bleeding.
>And in that moment of hesitation, Lime dives for the Stone.
>She cradles it to herself, not even looking at it but to your oldest sister.
>”Don’t you ever think you’re going to get away with that self-sacrifice horseshit around me, sis.”
>Then she picks up the Stone with both hooves.
>And drops it.
>Something darker, rounder and smaller falls to the floorboards, skittering to Maud’s hooves.
>Limestone sputters.
>”B-Boulder?! How-”
>In the crook of a hoof, Maud’s holding the Stone.
>”｢OK Go｣ is fast.”
>Lime points a hoof at her.
>”I didn’t even see you move!”
>”It’s really fast.”
>She approaches the map again, and Lime’s not having it.
>You walk up to it yourself.
>Whoever puts it onto the surface gives up their usage.
>Lime pounces when Maud comes within slamming-down range, lunging for her.
>”｢Down With the Sickness｣!”
>Maud moves a few hooves out of the way, backwards.
>Another spray of glass narrowly misses her.
>Limestone thumps onto the floor, but rolls with it.
>In seconds, she’s on her hooves, leaping over the glass to hit Maud again.
>Then there’s a great thumping noise, and the room dims as the map begins glowing.
>Both of them stop their tussle and turn to the source of the noise.
>The Choosing Stone, with one of your silverfish on its face, leaving your hoof as it hits the table.
