- >[spoiler]exploration[/spoiler] day in Equestria
- >it's the day before departure
- >spending most of the day getting your stuff prepped, you flip through various rifles, wondering which one to bring
- >you're ready, you decide to have a relaxing evening
- >you don't really have anything better to do
- >you walk down the street in high spirits
- >almost skipping merrily to some music
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXc19p1DumM
- >Changeling waves hello
- >this one found a job in the advertisement business
- >he just changes into the company mascot and attracts customers
- >he looks happy, you wave back, smiling
- >you feel a lot better seeing them working things out and not killing you
- >it makes your current project a lot more worthwhile; you wouldn’t really be full of zest in your undertaking to try to save their species if they were busy trying to crucify you
- >it’s also nice to have hope for their species and a lasting coexistence with the p0ny race
- >the sun is shining brightly, last moments of sunlight before Luna takes over
- >but you've got your new hat
- >it's got a wide brim, light earth colored
- >a bit like a Stetson, but not shaped the same way
- >your walk really clears your mind
- >feeling ready for anything, you find your way back to your place and call it a night
- >buzzing wakes you up
- >today is exploration day!
- >you meet up with Twilight and Rainbow
- >Rainbow looks like she's going on a safari
- >Twilight looks like she's going to an important lecture on obscure unicorn history
- >you look like you're expecting to encounter a pissed off Mexican drugs and arms cartel
- >Tan looks... Uhhh... Like his usual self
- "Hello everyone. I have interesting, but favorable news. It seems the bio-kit we sent in three days ago has not detected any dangerous organisms or toxic compounds in the atmosphere. We should be safe for a short visit" says Tan
- >Twilight looks at you
- "Anon? Why are you armed to the teeth again? We're just going to look for what Tan needs to do his experiments, not fight a war"
- >well you missed spending quality time with your Fort rifle
- "Doesn't hurt to be prepared?" you answer
- >Dash looks at Twilight
- "And why are you dressed like you're going to the library? We're going exploring!"
- >Twilight looks down a little
- "Maybe the tie is a little much..."
- >Tan's antennas flourish with color, but your translator setup doesn't really register anything
- >you'll have to ask him about that
- >it's not the first time that has happened
- "Should we expect anything over there? How difficult is it to find the matter you're looking for?" you ask Tan
- "I do not think there is hostile life on that world. I require an organic compound and a mineral that should be abundant, from my device's preliminary readings" he says
- >should be okay, then
- "We all ready to go?" you ask
- "Awww yeah!" says Dash
- "Sure am!" replies Twilight
- "Yes" states Tan
- >you look over at Tan
- >you move your hand forward and in your best Picard voice, you say
- "Engage"
- >you've been on this world for four hours
- >it's hot
- >you miss your hat, this helmet isn't as comfortable
- >you're sore
- >scraping moss off a rock
- "This isn't exploration!" whines Dash
- "This isn't science!" cries Twilight
- "I fucking hate moss" you groan
- >Tan, on the other hand, is full of zest
- >he seems to be skittering around, examining mossy rocks
- >he's having a blast
- "This one, Anon. Twilight Sparkle, please continue with your current specimen"
- >you grumble
- >this is going to be a long day
- "I believe you have all collected a sufficient amount of the base organic compound I needed. Now we need to get a mineral that can be tracked by its distinct magnetic field that fluctuates rather precisely" says Tan
- >it's about time
- "I should be able to find that, actually" you say
- >Tan turns to you
- "Really? I was going to suspend a magnet and observe its movements to orient the mineral in relation to us" he says
- >Twilight is perking up at the sound of science
- >Dash isn't looking very enthusiastic
- "I think I can feel the magnetic fields a bit more precisely..." you say
- >turning on your implant, you get a feel for this planet's magnetism, the currents in Tan's translation gear and a strange pulsating pattern
- "I think I got it. It's in that direction, can't tell how far, though" you reply
- "Fascinating" says Tan
- "We gonna explore now?" says Dash
- >probably
- >you all head in the direction you indicated
- >the scenery changes quickly
- >rocky formations replace the rather plain landscape you were all used to
- >finally, no more fucking mossy pebbles in a sea of damp sand
- "This is more like it!" says Dash
- >the cliffs and reddish-colored rocks twist up from the ground, arcing in unnatural directions
- "Tan, I'm wondering... If we bring a strange mineral from another reality back to ours, is there any chance that the slightly different physics on which that matter works on could mess with ours?"
- >Tan is silent for a few seconds
- "Probably not. We should be safe with the items I require, however. I have worked with trans-dimensional material like this before for genetic research. The mineral I require oscillates at exactly six point-
- “Eight five gigahertz?” you finish, having glanced at the actual data your hand implant was picking up
- >his antennas twitch
- “Precisely” he replies
- >good enough for you
- "This is pretty exciting, I have to admit!" says Twilight
- >she's finally shaking off the boredom from earlier today
- >magic holding a parchment and quill, scribbling madly
- >Dash is darting around, checking out the strange rock formations
- >the field is getting stronger, you're all getting closer to the source
- >as you all get closer, something begins to feel off
- >like a slow wave
- >it almost feels like the ground is moving
- "Is anyone else feeling the ground moving?" asks Twilight
- >Rainbow is fluttering around and raises an eyebrow
- >she's not on the ground so it's probably difficult to feel this
- "I'm feeling it too" you reply
- "I believe it is this world's fundamental difference with ours. I did mention how our perception could be altered" answers Tan
- >Twilight's quill goes crazy
- "Oh how interesting!"
- >Dash isn't really paying attention
- "Look there!" she says
- >Rainbow is pointing at a very distinct structure that's becoming visible as you move around another natural rocky sculpture
- >this was odd
- >definitely made by sentient creatures
- >various pillars, angled precisely in the same direction
- >they were all made from conical prisms, somehow interlocked
- >beautiful
- "Wow..." gasps Twilight
- "Who do you think made all this?" you ask Tan
- "These are amazing! It's like the Sapphire Stone statues from Daring Do, do you think they're booby-trapped?" asks Dash
- >what's with her and booby-traps
- >Tan stops and looks at you
- "Nobody. This is the mineral formation I require"
- >dude what
- >you rub your temples
- >the ground moving is making you feel a little funny
- >strangely enough, you can't actually see it moving
- "And why doesn't the ground look like it's moving when it feels like it is? You ask
- >Tan pauses
- "I do not know. In any case, we should gather a few samples of these mineral pillars" he replies
- >you feel the pillars give off the pulsating magnetic field
- >you also feel the ground pushing in waves, but through your implant
- >it's like there's something in the ground with a strong magnetic field, matching the waves you're all feeling in the soil
- "I agree, I think we should get the stuff and go..."
- >Twilight looks sad to hear this
- "Why? There's so much we can learn here, I want to study these mineral pillars" she protests
- "I just have a bad feeling about this..." you reply
- >Dash is floating around, looking concerned
- "This place is pretty weird... Finding this thing was cool and all, but with the sun setting over there, all by itself... It's kinda giving me the creeps" says the cyan pegasus
- >you start moving towards the pillar, magnetic fields getting strong enough for you to set your hand-implant to teslas instead of microteslas, even if you were used to the nanotesla range. Your implant was capable of picking up femtoteslas, but you never really set it to that sensitivity
- >unless you were working with quantum tunneling, but it’s been a while since you’ve fiddled with an old touchscreen
- "Come on, things are just getting weirder and I don't like it too much"
- >these magnetic fields were very strong, you even felt metallic bits on your being lightly pulled on
- >you move closer to the pillar, a good thirty yards from Tan and the p0nies
- "But Anooo~n..." she whines back at you
- >you grab one of the crystals and yank it out of the pillar formation
- "Tan, is this enough?"
- "Three more, please" he calls out
- >you yank a couple more out, taking a spare
- >you turn back, raising your voice
- "Here, Sparks, I'm getting one just for you as a souven-
- >light bends between you and Twilight
- ir... What in all the fu-
- >something seems to walk through the ground, just elevating from the soil
- >the fourth mineral shard stops in mid-air, then drops to the ground
- >you don't even have time to react
- >the blob-like thing extends towards Twilight
- "What is that thing?!" yells Rainbow
- >it looks like a mass of transparent GAK
- >it’s simply a blob of no defined shape that seems to be made of nothing, and only visible as light seems to bend when going through it
- >all you can think right now is how they look like the light-bending shape the Predator makes
- >however they don’t make any sounds, unlike the Predator
- >your implant shorts right the fuck out
- "Gah.. Fuck!" you exclaim
- >it got hot in your hand before the overload failsafes even had time to kick in
- >you remember something in the order of 30T and rising fast
- >your left eye fritzes all to hell
- "Son of a...."
- >it shuts down, your other implants follow
- >the safety reset fuses all disconnect
- "Ahh! Anon! Dash!!! AAAAIIIIIIIIEEE..." yells Twilight
- >you fall to a knee
- >you're dizzy, your head is hot, all your implants are on emergency disconnect
- >you can't see well
- >Twilight is in danger
- >that blob thing is hurting her somehow
- >fucking ghost attack
- >you're being pulled towards it
- >your implants are being yanked on from an unseen force
- >all the metal on you is suddenly being pulled towards that thing
- >the electromagnetism could have been from them
- >your implants zapping off, your shit being pulled towards this thing
- >made sense
- >your hearing cuts out
- >you dig your heels into the ground, trying to move away
- >you're half blind and completely deaf
- >Twilight's mouth is moving, she looks like she's in a lot of pain
- >your rifle is pointing towards the creature as you hang onto the pillar
- >you feel metal zippers and buttons tug hard towards the thing
- >your rifle isn't pointing because you're aiming it, but rather because it's taunt on the sling
- >you haven't fired as you do not want your bullets to go through the blob and hit Twi
- >Tan is being dragged towards the blob by his gear
- >you spot more GAK-blobs seeping through from the ground around you all
- >Dash is holding her hat, the damn rivets are being attracted towards the thing
- >Dash yells and you make out something like "Someone do something!" by lipreading
- >or "oh my gosh, sarsaparilla"
- >probably the former
- >Twilight slumps down, unconscious
- >your hand is already on the grip
- >you aim high on the blob, so you won't hit the fallen unicorn
- >the rifle’s muzzle report makes a thumping feeling against your chest, completely silently to you
- >a hole appears in the creature
- >more like a hole appears in the distortion in the air where you assume the creature is
- >Tan and you both tip over and hit the ground as the magnetic pull cuts out
- >like when you're pulling a rope and it breaks
- >you squeeze the trigger again, nothing happens
- >you push the bullpup off your shoulder to examine the stoppage
- >bolt closed
- >either it didn’t strip a round or it didn’t eject the spent case
- >clearin’ malfunction
- >smack the bottom of the mag and rack the charging handle, ejecting the brass case
- >fresh round feeds in properly
- >short-stroke?
- >you assume the magnetic field was strong enough to slow the BCG’s rearward movement enough to cause the stoppage
- >now that the creature has let up…
- >you fire again
- >you start popping off rounds at the blobs
- >you only now realize how much you fucking hated GAK and their retarded commercials
- "Grab her, we gotta get out of here!" you bellow over the gunfire
- >you feel the thumps of the muzzle blast in your chest, but you can't even hear your own words
- >Tan leaps a good ten yards and gently scoops up the unconscious Twilight
- >you speed reload and keep pumping rounds in the blobs
- >your implants are off, Tan can't communicate but he can still hear and understand
- "Run towards the rock formations" you yell
- >it's so odd, not being able to hear your own words in the slightest
- >you secure the rear, laying more fire on the blobs
- >you hate not being able to see out one eye
- >the blobs move slowly, and every round seems to stop them for a few seconds
- >Tan isn't slowed one bit by Twilight's weight, he covers ground easily
- >Dash is flying around him frantically
- >she's yelling, but you don't know what about
- >Tan can't reply
- >you needed your implants and you needed them now
- >normally, this would never happen
- >but apparently the magnetic field of a magnitude like this was enough to require a reset of the mechanical safety fuses
- >these things were on the order of "never needed unless weapon-level EMP has gone off"
- >"fuse" was a bit of a simple term
- >they also provided a system that dumped the overload safely before the wires melted and fried, and the principle on which it operated had rendered electro-magnetic pulse weapons more or less useless, but it was used in most important electronics due to the dangers of solar flare activity
- >it was more insurance than anything
- >did a good job saving your ass though
- >in any case, they needed to be switched back manually
- >the blobs get further away and you all keep moving through the sculpture-like rock formations
- "Dash, is Twilight okay?" you say
- >she turns around and says something, looking worried
- "I can't hear anything, Dash, my ears are fucked... Just nod if she's alive..."
- >she nods
- >relief washes over you
- "is she hurt?"
- >she doesn't seem to know
- >you needed your implants
- >manual reset
- >normally, there was a tool you'd press against the skin
- >it was made for this kinda thing, it pulsed specifically at the safety's amplitude and shook it into a reset position
- >you didn't have one
- >you needed to reset it, and it was made so that it wouldn't be accidentally flicked off by anything outside the skin
- >you’ve all been making good ground for a good twenty minutes
- >you slow down, hiding against one of the cliff faces
- >they should be far enough away now, they didn’t move very fast and you can’t feel the ground “waving” as it did before the things came from the earth
- >nobody is saying anything, as far as you can see
- >Dash is busy trying to find is Twilight is wounded in any way
- >you take out a knife
- >you can feel where the switch is under your skin
- >they had installed yours above the knee on the inside of your leg
- >you hold the sharp tip over the spot
- >you need to stab pretty damn deep, then move the knife downwards
- >you take a deep breath, unzipping, unclasping the suit leg and cutting a hole in your pants first
- >you start breathing faster, as the knife hovers above your leg
- >you need your implants more than anything in the world right now
- >you feel a maniacal panic at how much you need those things
- >Rainbow Dash looks over, just in time to see you fucking stabbing into your leg with an Ontario trench dagger
- >you let out a completely silent but ear-shatteringly loud scream as you push down
- >you're glad the knife is really, really sharp
- >you hear a flat tone
- >you're still yelling, having thrown the knife to the side and adopting the "oh shit oh shit this hurts so much" fetal position, pressing your hands against the nasty gash
- >you hear more weird tones and buzzing as Rainbow runs over and starts yelling in your face
- >as if coming up from underwater, your hearing turns on
- "... STRIA DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
- >you're still rocking a little, shaking off the sickness that accompanied that "cold-metal-slicing-flesh" feeling
- "Sorry... Just... Ungg... My implants almost fried 'cause of those things..."
- >Dash goes from upset confusion to complete "what the fuck" rage
- >your hand is also booting back up, and you feel the wave-like currents
- >they are weak, still far away
- "JUST WHAT THE BUCK, ANON? TWI'S OVER THERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER, THEN YOU STAB YOURSELF, I DON'T NEED TWO WOUNDED FRIENDS RIGHT NOW"
- >she takes panicked breaths
- "Had to... Reset switch was under the skin..." you gasp out over the fading pain
- >Rainbow shakes her head
- "Gimme a heads up, next time you need to cut yourself open, will you? Sorry I lost it... Everything was crazy for a few minutes..." she says, calming down
- >fist/hoof bump
- >and you’re back to being good bros with the Dash
- >you get the distinct feeling that the blob things are approaching, even if they aren't moving that fast
- "Can we get out of here now? This is enough adventuring for one day" she says, going back to check on Twilight
- "That isn't exactly possible right now. We need Twilight Sparkle's magic to activate the device and return to Equestria" says Tan
- >looks like everything is working properly again, thank the Machine God
- >you limp over, holding the cut closed, kneeling next to Twilight
- "How is she?" you ask
- "She's breathing... " replies Dash
- >you open her eyelids, checking her pupils with a pen light
- >they contract as they should
- >pulse is strong and regular
- >she's warm, snout is a little cooler and a bit moist, that's all pretty normal
- >you feel for weird lumps or broken bones
- >you're really not much of a doctor, but she doesn't look too bad from what you can see
- >you take out a small, four-ounce plastic flask of water and splash some in her face
- >not much reaction
- >you feel the blob creatures getting closer
- >you guys needed to move
- >like right now
- >Tan picks up the little unicorn, always with the outmost care
- >he knows full well that he could accidently hurt the p0ny the same way you could accidentally damage a handful of eggs while running an obstacle course
- >and he'd get many bullets for his carelessness
- >you start making your way across the boring land of mossy rocks
- >you patched up your leg, the cut was clean and it had already stopped bleeding
- >the magnetic signature of the beings is distant now
- >not much to eat
- >Rainbow packed a few snacks
- >you packed a couple ration bars and some old chocolate
- >ration bar number one is "banana beef"
- >who the fuck comes up with these flavors
- >it wasn't that bad
- >another day goes by
- >water is becoming an issue
- >you split your last flask between Dash and Twilight
- >you still have your emergency bladder in your suit
- >you save it, deciding to use it after moving further away from the faint blob signal
- >you all slowly move through the bland desert-like landscape
- "Anon, I believe I have felt Twilight moving" says Tan
- >oh fuck yeah!
- >you were remembering all dat starvation again from the first time you came to Equestria
- >you needed the good news
- "Set her down..." you say
- >she gently lays her on the soft sand
- >in a spot free of fucking mossy rocks
- >yep she moved
- >her ear twitched
- >you drop some water on her lips, and she shakes her head, snorting
- "She's okay!" exclaims Dash
- "Twilight? Twiliiiiight, can you hear me?"
- >she slowly wakes up
- >her eyes open and blink a few times
- "Guys? Ohhhh... My head..." she puts her hooves against her face, moaning
- "I have the worst headache right now... What's going on..."
- >you hug her
- "Twilight! You're okay..." you say, wrapped around the purple p0ne
- "Anon?" she says, a little confused
- >you release her, and Dash sets a hoof on the little unicorn's shoulder
- "We were pretty worried, back there..." says Rainbow
- >Twilight sits up, nursing her head
- "Just what happened? Why are you all..."
- >she stops in mid-sentence
- >shakes her head
- "Twilight?" says Rainbow
- >her eyes go wide
- >mouth slack
- >her eyes start darting back and forth, going between looking at "nothing" and "not much in particular"
- "Twilight? You okay?" you ask
- >lips quivering
- >she starts breathing faster
- "We need to go back right now! We need to go back!" she says, panicked
- "Back where? Back home? We can now, just a bit of magic and we can get back home!" you say
- >she grabs you, hooves pulling you closer
- "No, we need to get back to those mineral deposits! Right now! We have to, it's the on-AAAAAUUGH"
- >she grabs her head and writes
- "Twilight! What's wrong?!"
- >she groans and grits her teeth
- “Anon, we need to get… Hnnng… We need to get back to those mineral deposits…” she gasps, pressing her hooves against her temples
- >go back there?
- “Twilight, you almost died back there, why do we need to go back?” you ask
- >her breathing slows down
- “Those things we saw… They were trying to help us… We need the other minerals”
- >she takes a few deep breaths, looking like her head isn’t hurting as much
- “They were trying to… Talk to me. They weren’t trying to kill us. They were just talking to me… We need to bring home these other crystals… Not in words, but in thoughts… I don’t even have the words, Anon. I can’t explain what they told me, they needed to teach me how to think like they do, there are no words…” she mutters
- >current operation status = SNAFU
- “We need to get home, Twilight, you’re confused, they messed with your head or something…”
- >she looks at you, determined
- “Listen to me. We need to get other minerals from them, and take those home. I think they needed to warn us at all costs, those minerals are different when they’re in those pillar formations… They’d be dangerous to take back home. That’s what I think they meant… I just don’t have the words for what their thoughts. We need to bring back their crystals and exchange them for the other minerals… It’s the other ones we need to bring home” she replies
- >this is bad
- “Twi, I think we should just get out of here, right now” you say
- >Tan looks at you, antennas fluttering
- “Will you just trust me on this?” she snaps
- >she’s been injured, possibly brainwashed by an alien entity with unknown motives
- >she still sounds like Twilight, however
- “I will, but we’ll do this my way” you reply
- >the beings are very far away, but you all start covering ground
- >you split the remaining water equally
- >Tan decides that you’re all moving too slow
- >your leg is killing you
- >he picks you both up and Dash flies ahead
- >the bug-like evolved plant life has no trouble running with both of you on his strange, armored, jointed shoulders
- >you see the field of mossy rocks
- >the blob-like beings are closer now
- >they seem to have moved back to their crystalline formations, however
- >not giving chase?
- >this simplifies things
- >you’re quickly approaching the strange, reddish, twisted rock formations
- >you feel the crystal pillars in the distance, through your implants
- >you give Tan a tap on the head
- >he skitters up one of the tall, twisted rocks, depositing you on the top
- >and keeps going with Twilight on his shoulder, towards the pulsing, magnetic minerals
- >you want him to watch over Twilight as she “negotiates”
- >if anything goes wrong, he signals you, or signals Dash if his gear is compromised
- >you’ll then lay suppressing fire until Tan can remove Twilight from danger
- >it’s pretty tense
- >you ranged out the field
- >adjusted you scope for drop
- >no wind, lucky you
- >Twilight is standing in front of those mineral pillars
- >a creature appears in front of her
- >they just stand there, looking at each other
- >your hand picks up magnetic fields, but they are nothing like the first time Twilight was “spoken to”
- >that really, really doesn’t sit well with you
- >if they were trying to speak to her the first place, why did they need that much power?
- >you’re trying to slow your breathing
- >this all stinks
- >you should all be going home, not doing this shit
- >your finger itches
- >you really want to fire some rounds at that weird, light-bending blob of… stuff…
- >they really looked like the shadow things in that old Ico game except less… Dark
- >this was a bad idea
- >you didn’t have much of a choice, Twilight would not use her magic no matter how you all asked her
- >Twilight throws the mineral crystals you’ve collected towards the creature
- >they hover before hitting the ground, floating back into their spots on the pillars
- >it’s hard to make out through the scope, but you see four crystals of a different shape float up through the sand
- >Tan sends you the message “We should be okay now, join us”
- >you make your way down the stone formation, slowly, careful not to rip open your cut too much
- >you meet up with Tan, Twilight and Rainbow
- “Can we get out of here now?” says Rainbow
- >you think for a few seconds, something just isn’t adding up
- >Twilight looks a little drunk, but she might just be exhausted
- >you ask Twilight if you can see the mineral crystals you got
- >you think you know what doesn’t add up now
- >this was not even math
- “Hey Twilight, use your magic on Tan’s phase device. Tan, don’t engage it right away, I want to see something…” you say
- >she hands the four prisms to you
- “What is it? We got the minerals Tan needed, everyp0ny is happy, right? We just need to bring these minerals home!”
- >you really, really hope you aren’t wrong
- >the group waits for a few minutes as you come limping back frantically, holding your leg
- “OKAY LET’S GO, TWILIGHT WAS RIGHT, ENGAGE, TAN, ENGAGE!” you roar out at the top of your lungs
- >the blob-like shape creatures are massed behind you, advancing
- >you feel a huge wave of electromagnetism flood around
- >you really hope you’re right
- >Twilight’s about to say something when the world goes fuzzy again as the phase-shift device transports you all back to Equestria
- >you all arrive in Pinkie’s party suite
- “Oh hi everyp0ny! I didn’t see you come in! How did you all do that anyway? I was just about to make dinner, are you guys hungry?” starts the pink p0ny
- >she didn’t even miss a beat
- “Anon… Anon something is wrong… What did you do when you left us just now? I’m dizzy…”
- “Twilight, are you okay? You don’t look so good…” says Pinkie
- >Twilight slumps over, stomach down
- >she springs back up a few seconds later
- “ANON! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT N… Why are we in Pinkie’s suite? What happened?”
- >you just drop into the nearest chair, exhauster and relieved
- >you’re pretty sure you didn’t fuck up this time
- “Twilight, I’m happy you’re back. Do you remember asking me to go back and exchange the crystals with those creatures?”
- >she thinks for a few seconds
- “I did that? I thought we escaped those things and were going to go straight back to our world… Why do I remember two things?”
- >you explain to her that you think the blob-like creatures were trying to fool us somehow, for some reason
- >the first thing that tipped you off was the massive magnitude of their “communication”
- >why would you ever need that much raw power just to speak?
- >30T and rising is more than twice the juice that the large hadron collider makes
- >sure, the LHC can concentrate that into single particles to make a point energy at ridiculous levels, but only on a very small scale
- >the record for magnetic field generation on Earth was in the 100 Teslas, and it could pull paperclips from a mile away
- >it took gigawatts of power
- >the second thing was how Twilight had kept repeating that they needed to “bring the other crystals home”
- >she said that they needed to exchange the crystals, but it’s like bringing the other ones home was more important
- >the last and most important thing was that the original minerals had a very distinct pattern in their EM pulses
- >the ones Twilight had gotten in exchange
- >those ones felt like the blob creatures
- >you did not really feel like bringing anything over to Equestria that felt like those electromagnetic blob-creatures
- >you’d just yelled out how Twilight was correct so she wouldn’t do anything to stop you all from coming home
- >Twilight is looking pretty damn bummed
- “It’s all my fault… Who knows what could have happened if I’d brought those things here…” she says
- “Twilight, you know that’s a load of horse apples. You heard Anon, those things were really powerful! They had you under some weird mind-control…” says Dash
- >you pat Twi on the shoulder, trying to cheer her up
- “Wasn’t your fault”
- >Pinkie jumps in the fray
- >she throws a bag of flour on herself
- “OHSHIT WHAT” you cough out, moving away from the white cloud
- “Pinkie! What the hay?” says Rainbow
- >Twilight coughs a bit, and then starts laughing
- >Pinkie is immaculately white, striking a pose
- >you chuckle too
- “Pinkie, you’re so random…”
- “What, it worked for the Cake’s children, I thought it would cheer you all up!”
- >and it did
- >Tan’s antennas flourish with color again
- >what is up with that?
- >you shrug it off, you’ll ask later
- >Pinkie made this really good salad as an entrée, then you all had a main course of crazy fucking fluffy, warm pastries
- >desert for last?
