The Forest
By: Foxxxy
January 29th 2013
<%Foxxxy> looks like you would need the forest imagery
[19:17] <Filly|InClass2> and thus you are more receptive to suggests of how to walk and what to build nearby.
[19:17] <CallMeDash> Not a lot. A little Dash progress and a really boring school day :P
[19:18] <%Foxxxy> some new material came to me, just floated on in
[19:18] <Filly|InClass2> sorry to devolve into metaphor, it is the nature of language that the mind is most openly described in familiar terms
[19:18] <Bits> I understand.
[19:18] <Bits> What I'm not quite sure of is how it would happen.
[19:18] <Wishdream> Ooo... what is it again foxxy?
[19:19] <CallMeDash> Naw that was actually a really good metaphor
[19:19] <Filly|InClass2> WHich is why I try to explain mental models on my blog. to establish common language.
[19:19] <Bits> Wouldn't the new paths intersect with some of the old ones eventually?
[19:19] <%Foxxxy> it would fit perfect for the file you guys are trying to create
[19:19] <Bits> And the listener would fall back into their previous habits, maybe.
[19:19] <Filly|InClass2> They better, bits. Mostly likely, you wouldn't be so far off the path. eventually the noice of trafic or nearby cities would draw you back.
[19:19] <Wishdream> Mind telling us what it is?
[19:19] <%Foxxxy> starting with a guided walk ino the woods, as the tonalities and coloring start to shift darker and darker
[19:19] <Filly|InClass2> Otherwise they would be building entirely new.
[19:20] <Filly|InClass2> such a file would need a trigger, or some other link, a small path that would be normally ignored but might eventually lead the listener back to their old ways
[19:20] <%Foxxxy> it would start off just being a relaxing walk in a cities edge park
[19:20] <Filly|InClass2> and if done well, it would be one they could use to return on later trips.
[19:20] <CallMeDash> Like a tiny little dirt road that's hidden by a cornfield or something?
[19:21] <Filly|InClass2> sure, that works.
[19:21] <%Foxxxy> seein the playground equiptment the wind rustling sort of greysapped
[19:21] <Bits> What I'm failing to understand, and this isn't any fault of yours, is how you cause the mind to get lost in itself.
[19:21] <%Foxxxy> some trash on the ground, maybe a junkies needle or two over by the trash can and you would keep on walking

[19:21] <%Foxxxy> into the treeline along somepony elses path
[19:22] <CallMeDash> Lose yourself in the moment
[19:22] <Filly|InClass2> Confusion, misdirection. To use the metaphor, you make a false road, or you make something very interesting appear and have them follow it.
[19:22] <Bits> The whole time I'm under, I'm either conscious of every change I feel, or I completely blank out and snap back to consciousness a little wile later.
[19:22] <CallMeDash> Not in music, in this case, but
[19:22] <%Foxxxy> as it keeps on darkening
[19:22] Action: Wishdream is listening to foxxxy
[19:22] <Bits> I think I would need an extremely long file really get lost in my own mind.
[19:22] <CallMeDash> ^
[19:23] <Filly|InClass2> ^
[19:23] <CallMeDash> And at that point I'd consider it not even worth it....
[19:23] <Bits> I mean, TO really get lost.
[19:23] <Bits> I would totally consider it worth it!
[19:23] <%Foxxxy> they would get lost in the time of it all, before looking up to see a starry night sky surrounded by trees and bush, a dark seattle forest
[19:23] <Filly|InClass2> The other thing is, such a file would have to avoid places you've already been to in your mind, otherwise you would just make a new dirt road to a place you've already nbeen.
[19:24] <CallMeDash> So it would have to be personally made, then?
[19:24] <%Foxxxy> with no clue where they are, completely lost, the sit down by a near stuff as ominious sounds echo in the distance
[19:24] <Bits> It's simply too difficult for me to ignore the sensation of my own body BEING while I'm under, so I can't shake the thought "I'm going to change from what I am" and think "I am now."
[19:24] Eracoy ([email protected]) joined #Pony_Hypno.
[19:25] <%Foxxxy> it would then begin to rain, softly at the start but gradually begining to cresendo into a deafening roar, the pure power of nature leaving you in awe
[19:25] Doctor_Whoa ([email protected]) joined #Pony_Hypno.
[19:25] <CallMeDash> I'm in Bits' situation here (Also paying attention to FOxxxy)
[19:25] <%Foxxxy> you would have to start stumbling around, looking for shelter, already drenched, but having to find some saftey from the wind
[19:26] <Wishdream> I'm visualing the scene as Foxxxy goes.
[19:26] <CallMeDash> ^
[19:26] <Bits> We should be recording this stuff.
[19:26] <Filly|InClass2> I'm copying the script for later... when I'm not in class.
[19:26] <%Foxxxy> would so see some sort of abandoned building, a cottage or old treehouse ? most likely
[19:26] <Bits> But I've stayed as long as is literally possible for now, so bye all.
[19:26] Bits ([email protected]) left irc: Quit: Leaving.
[19:27] <Wishdream> Logging foxxxy's findings atm.
[19:27] Nick change: starlite -> starlite-[nomming]
[19:27] <CallMeDash> Oh bye bits
[19:27] <%Foxxxy> it's probably old, abandoned for decades, but it was probably the glorious excape, the pride and joy of the three fillies who created it years ago
[19:27] <Wishdream> ...
[19:27] <%Foxxxy> but it's wretched and abandoned now
[19:28] <Wishdream> A dark world of Equestria...
[19:28] <%Foxxxy> but it seems like it will do the trick of protecting you from the wind, so you decide to climb up the ladder
[19:28] <CallMeDash> *Stairs I thought?
[19:29] <%Foxxxy> whatever they may be, some boards breaking underhoof, as the wind whistles in your ears
[19:29] <%Foxxxy> so slowly would climb inside, tears begining to form in your already soaked eyes
[19:30] <%Foxxxy> sitting down, you might begin to look around
[19:30] <%Foxxxy> shivering as your coat is soaked all the way down
[19:30] <%Foxxxy> shivering, cold, blank and bleak
[19:31] <Wishdream> powerful story writing. I like it.
[19:31] <%Foxxxy> do you look around in this seemingly hollow place that was supposedly filled with emotion
[19:32] <%Foxxxy> there is pictures and drawings covering the walls, yellowedwith age, a newspaper article or two
[19:32] <Wishdream> hmmm...
[19:32] <%Foxxxy> a picture of three smiling little fillies, rocking you to the depths of your heart
[19:33] <Wishdream> ...sweetie belle.
[19:34] <%Foxxxy> you reach out with a hoof to touch it, nopony has been here in a while, so you decide to take it, slipping it into your sachel as you curl up on the floor, and close your eyes
[19:35] <%Foxxxy> imagery bursts forth, filling your minds as you lie shivering under that sewn quilt
[19:35] <Wishdream> I could imagine. so deep.
[19:36] <%Foxxxy> your attention shifting to the wind and the creaking of the floorboards, before quickly going tdown the trail it was before
[19:36] <%Foxxxy> you believe nothing could disturb you now, alone, just you and your fillyhood memories
[19:37] <Wishdream> is this like for the cmc?
[19:38] <%Foxxxy> you would possibly, and in fact most likely now, stroke your mane once before falling into a nice deep sleep, exahling one hot brath and falling into a trance
[19:38] klux[Shadow] ([email protected]) joined #Pony_Hypno.
[19:38] <CallMeDash> Foxxxy you should do this more often
[19:38] <klux[Shadow]> Well Hello Everypony
[19:39] Action: CallMeDash shushes klux
[19:39] <klux[Shadow]> CallMeDash: ?
[19:39] <CallMeDash> Foxxxy is giving storytime
[19:39] <%Foxxxy> how did we fall apart, we were the best of friends ? did we even fall apart ?
[19:39] <Dashiee> Ohai Klux !
[19:39] <%Foxxxy> I guess time goes on and ponies do drift apart
[19:39] Jeans ([email protected]) left irc: Ping timeout: 240 seconds
[19:40] <%Foxxxy> but we were the best of friends
[19:41] <%Foxxxy> I only took a quick stroll to clear my head, and I winded up back here, I guess time and footsteps wander when something is on your mind

[19:42] <%Foxxxy> anyponies pure and joyous fillyhood

[19:42] <%Foxxxy> it has been 5 years since that shift
[19:43] Doctor_Whoa ([email protected]) left irc: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
[19:43] <%Foxxxy> since discord and the citites came, tose horrible pink primates
[19:43] <%Foxxxy> since our transformation
[19:44] <%Foxxxy> the shutters crack against the windows of the treehouse, awakening you from that nightmare
[19:44] <Filly|InClass2> Someone keep notes on this, I have to go. I want a copy though.
[19:45] <%Foxxxy> but where are you, you take a deep slow breath and look around once again
[19:46] <%Foxxxy> you really should stop watching those after dark horror movies, it sure is taking a toll on you, but you have been working som much lapsing into a deep sleep as soon as you get to your appartment
[19:47] <%Foxxxy> and when you wake up it is always dark outside luna's moon and dark sky pride, illuminating with a menacing glow
[19:48] <%Foxxxy> just like now, but it seems different, you look down at your cutiemark and what do you see ?
[19:48] <CallMeDash> The suspense is killing me
[19:48] Filly|InClass2 ([email protected]) left irc: Ping timeout: 240 seconds
[19:49] Action: Biglaw looks for a cutie mark to only see a sandwich

[19:52] Filly|InClass2 ([email protected]) joined #Pony_Hypno.
[19:52] <%Foxxxy> not a single thought, just the raviging, dreadful weather echoing in your mind, washing it of anything that was once there, leaving you relaxed and receptive
[19:52] <%Foxxxy> a fresh crisp sensation for you to enjoy
[19:52] Nick change: Filly|InClass2 -> Fillyosopher
