Today when walking down the campus I smelled something similar to a blueberry, and thought to myself that this is probably how Luna would smell. How autistic does it make me?
>>27578854
>Why does cyan work so well with her?
It matches her eyes perfectly.
>>27579266
Not very.
Fantasizing about a pony's smells is an important part of any man's appreciation of their waifu.I do have to disagree with your interpretation of her smell, though.
Just a chill Monday
>>27578914
>human lips with lipstick
gross
>>27581417
>not letting your waifu claim you by leaving her mark all over your face
How pleb can you get?
>>27579765
How would you say she smells then?I like the idea that she smells like Rainy Summer Nights™
>>27578914
>>27582450
>makeup
>not preferring her natural beauty
Stick with whores instead, faggot.
>>27584368
I personally think I a little lipstick is cute anon.
>>27584384
Different Anon here.
It's a little bit cute, but more in an "it's adorable how wrong and misguided you are in your attempts to look pretty for me" than a "sexy vivid dsl lips on a horse" kind of way.
>>27583074
>Rainy Summer Nights™
>mfw I live in Texas
>constant rainstorms at night
That's a nice feel.
Is loving both princesses equally considered heresy?
>>27583074
I like the MS interpretation in the Pastebin for Luna vs. Anon's Parents. Pine trees, that clean, woodsy scent.
It just makes sense to me.
>>27585341
I know the smell, but I don't see how that would be her smell. Maybe it's the fact that I now only associate it with temporary dental filling, since it leaves that taste in your mouth for a few days
>>27583074
Either this >>27585341, or a more floral scent. Like jasmine and rosewater or something.Her marevag smells like a crisp summer breeze blowing off of a lake.
>>27583074
>>27585323
>>27585341
>>27585517
>>27585404
I would imagine she smells like a horse.
>>27585337
No.Sunbros are allowed here too.
>>27585716Good, because I was starting to get worried.
>>27584368
>"hurr stick with whores instead faggot"
I bet you have pics of Luna wearing slutty lingerie ya fucking hypocrite.
>>27585909
Not at all. Most artists trying to draw ponies with clothing make their pics too awkward because they treat the clothing as if a humanoid was wearing them.Socks are an exception and a soft spot for me.
>>27586012
>Socks are an exception and a soft spot for me.
Aha! Have some socks, hypocrite.
>>27586052
YAY! We /sock/ general again.
>>27586064
Have more socks.
>>27586076
Fuck you guys I wanted lipstick, not stinky socks!
>>27586088
>tfw from the thumbnail it looked like Luna had a giant striped cock
>>27586088
Fun fact: Equines, just like all animals other than humans and a few select others, cannot sweat. Therefore, pony socks are not stinky.
>>27586129
Wikipedia and google would like to disagree with you, familam :^) Horses are one of the few mammals who DO sweat like humans.
>>27586148
Oh. I guess I should have rechecked that list of "a select few others". My bad.

>>27583074
Lavender is the first thing that comes to mind for me.
I don't know about you but I'd prefer a bodily,fishysmell over an air freshener.

>>27588535
I like to think that her eyes sort of glow a faint, icy blue in winter weather and/or nighttime like that.I hope I'm not the only one
>>27588573
I think in general a winter night would be her favourite scenario. Or maybe I am just projecting.

>>27591139

If only....
Hey /moon/, do any of you also work the nightshift? If so, did you pick the job because of the princess?
>>27592099
I work the night shift, but just because I enjoy the night.
The first thing I see every morning and the last thing I see every night is >pic related.RIP mid-line greentextI can't help but feel good everyday due to her.
>>27592099
If my job didn't deal with other people or with government services, I would be completely nocturnal. Alas, the only time I can work at night is when all I need to do is paperwork.
>>27592099
Currently NEET. One of the main reasons why I quit my last job was because I couldn't stand the 9 to 5; absolutely hated it with the intensity of 1000 sunsor moons. Same reason why I hated school so much. Every summer vacation, my circadian rhythm would naturally shift to me being nocturnal. No matter how hard I tried, I would always be tired during the day and wide awake at night, so I had to do stimulants and depressants to stay on the normalfag schedule. Now I'm a nocturnal NEET. If I ever get a job again, it's definitely going to be a night shift.
>>27592442
At first I thought it had faux hair. Damn I want a Luna with this type of mane...

Is your guyses IRC still deader than a 'saved by the bell' reunion.
>>27592099
I've always worked nights.
Previous supervisor at this job understood that and let me work the night shift since I was one of two people who actually wanted that shift. She was reassigned, and the new supervisor thinks she's doing me a favor by switching me to days. My attempts to explain that I actually *enjoyed* working graveyards met with a complete lack of comprehension, since she can't imagine anyone actually WANTING to be working security at an oil refinery at night.
She's also a major Christfag, physically repellent without any idea that she IS repellent in literally every last respect, sharp as a bag of hair, and her behavior toward me--and, indeed, all the male staff--verges on harassment.
>>27592857
But, yeah. I've always worked nights. I prefer it. It's cooler, quieter, and excessive bright light has always made me feel nauseous and depressed.
>>27592795
Yes. Every time I bring it up, I get a bunch of retards saying:
>It's dead, so I'm not going to join it and make it be alive.
>>27592869
>excessive bright light has always made me feel nauseous and depressed.
Sounds like someone's cave adapted. (+1 negative thought)
>>27592099
I work a closing shift at a restaurant. It's not exactly a night shift, but I get off work in time to enjoy the moonlight and relax for a few hours before sleep. Honestly, I really enjoy sunlit early mornings, but the moon's always held a special place in my heart.
>>27593067
>>27592795
I was under the impression the point of the IRC existing was to mock the other generals that had one.I mean, hell, I'd jump in on one and chat it up with you lot if there was interest in actually using it.
>>27593297
There's four of us who don't leave at all and at least one other who visits periodically. If you start a conversation, you should find that at least one of us is there. Make sure you say our name, so we get an alert.

>I was under the impression the point of the IRC existing was to mock the other generals that had one.
It was, but it was lively the first few weeks thanks to several writefags and a sunbro who made it fun. Since then, it's been dead for months, with those remaining only there just idle there since they're on other channels. They're almost always AFK, and IRC itself is a bit of a barrier of entry for the technologically incompetent. For me personally, it's not worth trying it again since almost no one used it even at its peak. The number of users were always at single digits.If people really wanted a place to hang out in real time, I'd suggest Discord or >Skype, but the autism that were the /mlp/ Skype groups make me hesitate.
>>27593418
Yeah, I've got to figure out how to get a good lient set up, and I rarely have the patience for delving into new software nowadays.
Skype's not bad. I'm actually in another horsefucker group, and they're all right. Lately though, to program itself has been shitting itself constantly.
>>27593418
The thing that keeps me from joining a skype group is that i only have my personal skype that i made way to long ago. It has a cringy username from my highschool days too. But for better or for worse I've kept it
>>27593438
Just make another username, Anon.
>>27593437I want to judge you by asking which group.The Skype client is much worse in Linux. I couldn't use it to talk to friends so we had to move toSteam.
>>27593418>sunbroI was just in there. I still come by once in a great while.
>>27593449
It's a group for the Octavia threads. Judge away, friend.
>>27593462I'd love to chat with you again, but I'm not gonna reinstall an IRC client in the vain hope that you show up while I have spare time. I hope that you've been doing well these past few months.
>>27593462
CELESTIA'S ANON IS ALSO 300 POUNDS AND HAS DIABETES

>>27593481Y-you're fuckin gay, bro, even I don't give half a flying shit about me.
>>27593503There's enough assholes in the world that to find a pretty cool dude means that I will give a flying fuck about him, even if he's a dirty sunfag ^:)
>>27593495We made a half-hearted attempt at making it a regular thing for a few threads, and have mostly abandoned the attempt for now. It's less a dedicated group for the thread, and just a place to hang out at this point.Spoilered for off-topic.
>>27593513hug__me in real life, dude.
All this talk about IRC and Skype has made this poll obligatory: http://www.strawpoll.me/10428411
If you guys are interested in a chat group (or don't want one at all), go and vote. This doesn't mean we'll go full autist and create a wiki.
>>27593587
"Don't care, I'll stick to the threads" is my backup vote. No matter what chat ends up happening, I'll still be here.
>>27593587
I picked IRC but I'm not too opposed to Steam or Discord. No thanks to Skype, though.
>>27593601
Same. The thread is always nice.This thread is as important as /sun/ is to me, so there will always be a tab open
Conclusive results from the poll.
>>27593649
Nah, I was one of the first votes. I just thought it was funny.
>>27593550
I can do that since I know where you live, thanks to that /mlp/ map and the faces of /mlp/ thread you posted in ages ago.pls no restraining order
You know, I never really see a lot of art of Luna being passionate and/or angry.

>She's always been self-conscious about her inner workings, but it was worse with her chest.
>She would later tell you that she always feels indecent when her chest panel is open, and having you rooting around inside only exacerbated the feeling.
>What she neglected to tell you, however, was that she enjoyed every second of having you inside her - though you figured that out on your own shortly after she left.
>After all, that was when you noticed the wet spot she left on your maintenance bench.

>best sister.
>Implying
I'll post some of my green from Changing Lanes to give this thread a boost. But, I'll be an asshole and post only one half now, and the other after work.
>"Your Highness, a visitor seeks an audience with you."
>You sit upright in your throne, the boredom and lack of activity in the last hour nearly putting you to sleep.
"Thank you. Send them in."
>The guards on either side of the massive double doors pull them open, and a familiar face struts through.
"Anonymous? Guards, do you honestly not recognize who-"
>"It's fine Luna, I told them to be professional about it. I figured you were bored and needed some excitement."
>You stretch as Anonymous makes his way to you, your back popping loud enough to create an echo.
>Sliding over in your throne, Anon has just enough room to sit next to you, which he does.
"So what have you been up to this fine day?"
>He reaches up and scratches your ear, as you can't help but lean into his hand.
>"Not much really. Buried in the library."
"Again? Twilight Sparkle has really rubbed off on you. I suppose the next step is besting her longest reading binge."
>"I can't imagine how long that would be, as I've seen her spend a whole afternoon with her head buried in a book, not moving an inch. It's a little eerie, honestly."
>You chuckle, resting your weight against him as he leans back in the throne.
"From what I recall my sister telling me, Twilight once spent three days straight in the library."
>"As in, afternoons?"
"No, I mean seventy-two hours straight."
>"Wow."
"Yes. I don't know how she does it. Just sitting here for four hours has me feeling stiff."
>Anonymous turns his body, looking at the throne itself.
>"Obviously it's time to upgrade to a lazy boy recliner like mine."
>You can't help but giggle at the mental picture.
"I don't believe that could be even remotely considered professional and proper, Anon. However, it would be a welcome change."
>>27643056
>The quiet conversation is interrupted by the echoing bong of the large clock outside the throne room.
>You rise to your hooves, Anon doing likewise.
"With as uneventful as this day has been, I am surprised it is already five o'clock."
>"I could tell it was almost five. I'm starving."
>The two of you make your way out of the throne room and to the dining room, making small talk along the way.
>Celestia is already seated at the table to greet you when both of you arrive.
>"Hello you two. I assume you're as hungry as I am?"
"I don't think that's possible sister."
>Tia sticks her tongue out at you, making you giggle.
>"Wow, we just arrived and already shots fired. Impressive, Luna."
>You and Anon take seats next to Celestia.
"It comes natural when you've lived with her as long as I."
>"Am I too late for dinner?"
>Twilight Sparkle trots into the room from where you just entered.
"Twilight, what a pleasant surprise. It is as if you heard Anon and I talking about you."
>She stops, perplexed.
>"Me? What did I do?"
>"A three day reading marathon, apparently."
>Twilight takes a seat across from you, seeming to go through her mind for the memory.
>Meanwhile, your sister is unable to contain a minor fit of laughter.
>"Oh, I had forgotten about that. The day I introduced her to the Daring Do series of books, she couldn't help to read them all in one go."
>Twilight perks up.
>"I remember that now! The first book was just so good, there was no way I was going to wait to read the next one!"
>"And the one after that, and so on. From what I recall, those three days were followed by a whole day of sleep."
>Twilight blushes.
>"You complain about me getting too much sleep, and you slept for a whole day? I don't want to hear any more criticisms about my sleeping habits, Twily."
>"Oh hush, Anon. It was only once. You oversleep every day."
>Anon turns to you, as if requesting backup.
"It's true, I practically have to drag you out of bed every morning."
>>27643075
>He crosses his arms, acting frustrated.
>"I'll remember that next time you want me to defend you."
>Everypony in the room gets a good chuckle, as a few servants enter the room hovering dishes in front of them.
>While Celestia gets a vegetable medley stir-fry and you get a fresh vineyard salad, Anon has gone wild with the meat, his plate dominated by a thick steak, amidst a sea of garlic shrimp.
>It took quite a bit of reassurance that neither you or your sister were bothered by his normal diet before he finally gave in and began eating what he really craved.
>Not a minute passes before another servant arrives, placing a nice garden salad in front of Twilight.
>Nopony hesitates to dig in, the dining room devoid of conversation for some time.
"So Twilight, what does bring you to Canterlot this time of the day?"
>"Anon sent a letter to me a few days ago. He said the two of you have been having some difficulty talking to the changeling you've apparently caught?"
>You glance to your left at Anonymous, who grins sheepishly.
>Despite his protests, you have been hesitant to allow him to accompany you to the dungeon.
>Not necessarily because of danger, but because you fear he may be unable to control his emotions.
"Did he now? I was not informed of this."
>"I thought I said something to you about it. My bad, Luna."
>You sigh, turning your attention back to the purple alicorn across the table.
"To tell the truth Twilight, it has not been going well at this time. In addition to a lack of information about Chrysalis's whereabouts and intentions, very little progress has been made in regards to identifying changelings masquerading as common ponies."
>"Well, I've been reading up on some law and psychology books the past couple days, maybe I can help?"
"I suppose I am running out of ideas, perhaps a fresh mind can come up with something."
>"And maybe you can give me a crack at it too, Luna. Like you promised?"
"Anonymous, please. It is for your own safety."
>>27643088
>He leans back in his chair, studying you.
>"Luna, what's the real reason you won't let me down there?"
>You scoff.
"That is the real reason, Anon."
>The room is silent, as you return to picking at your plate.
>"Either I'm getting better at reading you, or you're turning into a really bad liar, Luna."
>Anonymous folds his arms, as all eyes dart between him and you.
>Seeing no way out of his condemning gaze, you relent.
"Anon, do you recall what we discussed about your.... magic predicament?"
>"You mean if I use magic, I risk frying myself?"
"Yes. I don't intend to be rude, but I fear you may not be capable of keeping your emotions in check, and thus, your magic contained within."
>Twilight interrupts before Anonymous can respond.
>"Wait, hold on. Using magic can kill him? When did you find this out?!"
>Celestia breaks her silence, giving you a chance to sip at your water.
>"We aren't one hundred percent sure, Twilight. For right now, it's a theory based on what happened in your home during and directly following the exchange between Anon and Chrysalis."
>"And with all due respect, Lulu, I'm willing to take the risk."
>Nearly choking, you set down your water.
"Anonym-"
>Animated, he shakes his head, interrupting you.
>"Luna, Chrysalis wants me. And she's not going to care who gets in her way. If it takes harming or killing someone, she nor her minions are going to hesitate. If that happens, that blood is on me. And I'm not going to live with that guilt my whole life."
>He unfolds his arms.
>"We haven't come up with anything useful in the months since the incident. I know I'm impatient at times, but the more we sit around with our thumbs... or hooves or whatever, up our asses, the more likely it is I'm going to wind up dead anyways."
>You can't help but gasp at Anon's harsh tone.
"Don't say that! You act as if there is no hope!"
>He seems to ease off a bit.
>>27643095
>"I'm sorry, but I've been quiet about how I feel about this for a while now. But no more, I'm getting more involved in ending this standoff with these creatures whether you like it or not, Luna."
>His words seem to echo as if a gavel had been struck.
>"So, tomorrow morning, maybe?"
>Twilight's eyes nervously scan the room, as she flashes an uneasy grin.
>As a dramatic score builds up from the television, Anonymous jolts upright from your desk he was slouched upon.
"Fall asleep?"
>He turns to you, holding something in his hands.
>"No, testing this thing. Definitely still works."
>He displays it to you, the object looking like a collar, but with a curious small box attached to it.
"Is it a collar, a necklace... what is that?"
>He points at you.
>"Collar. Shock collar, to be more precise. In my world, we used these to train dogs. When the dog wearing it does something wrong, like stray away from the property, this box will emit a small shock that startles the dog. I had a feeling I pack ratted it somewhere in my house from when I had a dog, Twilight found it for me."
>You cringe as he describes how it works.
"And your reason for testing that is...?"
>"It's not going to hurt our little changeling friend, but it will shock the hell out of him. Or her, or it, whatever."
>Motioning for him to join you on your bed, he sets the collar down on your desk and flops beside you.
>His excitement for tomorrow morning is making you increasingly uneasy.
"Anon, you aren't looking forward to this for the wrong reasons, are you?"
>His eyes dart across the room, as if looking for the answer.
>"I don't follow. Wrongs reasons as in, what?"
"Revenge? Sadism?"
>He seems genuinely hurt by your inquisition as he puts an arm around your neck.
>"Lulu, I know you're worried about how I'm going to react during our little interrogation tomorrow, but I swear to you, this is purely to get what we need out of the prisoner, nothing more."
>He stops for a moment, before pressing on.
>>27643109
>"I suppose I didn't help matters regarding your apprehension with my little speech during dinner, did I?"
>Anon his the proverbial nail on the head with that question.
"No, you were a little... charged up."
>"Well, it's just been festering in the back of my mind for a while now. I didn't mean for it to be that harsh. But you and Celly - hell, everyone - has done so much for me, caught me so many times when I tripped. I got us into this mess by being impatient and rushing into danger, I want to at least play a part in getting out of this shit."
>You poke him playfully in the ribs with a hoof.
"You seem to forget you've caught me a few times when I fell. I'd say we're already even."
>"In that case, I want to get ahead of you."
"You're just stubborn, is all."
>He wraps his other arm around you, hugging you tight.
>"I learned it from you."
>You giggle, sharing a kiss with him, before your attention turns to the television.
"So, what are we watching anyways?"
>"Eh, various crime dramas. Figure I may as well get into the spirit of things, maybe I can pick up a thing or two from the questioning scenes."
"Twilight, I can see her getting some useful insight after a reading marathon on psychology. This might be a stretch, Anon."
>"Oh ye of little faith. You'll take that back when we find out where Chrysalis is tomorrow."
"If you managed to do that, I'd have no choice but to knight you."
>"Alright, I won't do that, then."
>You turn out the light beside you, snuggling up to Anon as the next episode rolls on the TV.
>A loud clang echoes through the damp dungeon as Anonymous raps on the cell bars.
>"Wake up, you slimy sack of shit!"
>Startled awake, the changeling prisoner jumps to its hooves, head darting around before focusing on your group.
>This is one of the few mornings Anon has woken you up, instead of what is normally the other way around.
>You've relented, allowing Anon to head this interrogation session, which he was all too eager to accept.
>>27643118
>Meanwhile, Twilight is confident in her research binge on psychology and methods of spotting 'tells,' as she called them.
>Hopefully, any information you can get, she can confirm is the truth.
>"What, cat got your tongue?"
>You lean over to Anon.
"It seems as though changelings in their normal form are unable to speak in our tongues. I have always had our prisoner shift into me to get it to talk."
>Apparently it heard you, as the changeling's form begins to warp, before once again your duplicate is behind bars.
>"Well, not impossible, but rather difficult. I see the princess brought her toy with her today."
>You scowl, seeming only to give it more joy as it continues.
>"Oh, and the purple runt is here. This is great, I was beginning to tire of seeing only this stick in the mud all the time."
>"I suppose it's your lucky day then. Not only do you get new visitors, you get to see them out from behind bars."
>As Anonymous taunts the creature, you use your magic to bind both its front hooves together with rope, as well as its hind legs.
>You nod to Anon when you are satisfied, sliding open the wrought iron door.
>Carefully, Anon pulls out the collar he was fiddling with last night, fastening it around the changeling's neck.
>"And what exactly is this supposed to be?"
>"We're going to play a fun little game. I'm going to ask some questions, and you're going to answer them. Depending on whether we like the answer, we will either move on, or that little collar is going to give you a nice jolt. Every wrong answer kicks up the jolt a bit, every right answer knocks it down a notch."
>The creature smirks, as Anon pulls out a small remote.
>"You're going to have to do better than that if you're going to psyche me out."
>He presses a button, causing your twin to jump.
>"Still think I'm joking? That was just the lightest setting. All set to play?"
>The smirk on its face is gone, replaced by the slightest hint of worry.
>>27643124
>"Let's start out slow here. I want to know, how high up on the chain of command are you in the grand scheme of things?"
>A chuckle is the initial response received.
>"I've already told your pretty princess friend there, I am just one of my mother's common drones. Nothing special, which is why I'm still here with you."
>While Twilight shakes her head, signaling Anon it is lying, he presses on.
>"I don't believe that for an instant. you see, if I was a queen trapped in an enemy's dungeon, I'd want only my best soldier behind enemy lines to save me. I want the cream of the crop, someone with experience. I'll give you a free retry, since we're just starting here."
>It shrugs its shoulders.
>"I don't know what you want me to tell you, then."
>"Level one it is."
>A few presses of the remote, and the changeling grits its teeth, sitting straight upright as it writhes in pain.
>You can't help but feel a pang of sympathy, trying to imagine what that felt like.
>The creature takes a deep breath as Anon relents.
>"I'm... one of Mother's.... first."
>All eyes turn to Twilight, who nods solemnly.
>She seems taken aback by the display as well.
>"Okay, we're getting somewhere. You're one of Chrysalis's first born, I take it?"
>"Yes."
>Anonymous paces the room, while you sit down to the left of the seated prisoner.
>"I'd say that makes you pretty important. Important enough to not leave behind, at least not forever. So how many changelings have we got in the castle waiting to rescue you?"
>"I don't know. Maybe none, maybe a hundred."
"Lies, you know if there is other changelings in our midst. You said so yourself, you have telepathy."
>Anonymous stops his pacing, his interest piqued.
>"Telepathy? When did you find this out?"
>Before you can reply, your duplicate interrupts.
>"The gift only shared between Mother and child. We do not share the gift amongst ourselves."
>"It's telling the truth, Anon."
>Anon points to Twilight.
>>27643136
>"Be glad I brought this purple runt with me, I was getting ready for level two of this thing."
>"Hey!"
>"No offense, Twily. Just using its own words."
>Pressing on, Anon once again begins pacing the cell, the creature beginning to look more and more shaken.
>While you are impressed the method seems to be getting results, you still find the charade rather sickening to watch.
[Anon, I think you are enjoying this too much.]
>His eyes focus on you.
>[Relax, Moonbutt. It's all part of rattling this thing's composure, nothing more.]
>For now, you relent, allowing him to continue.
>"Why don't we move on to the main event here, what does Chrysalis want with me. From what I understand, you've told Luna here I am not wanted dead, but alive. Why is that?"
>"Mother's plans are only revealed to us when we play a part in them. Otherwise, you know as much as we do."
>Once again, Twilight shakes her head no, and Anon presses the remote.
>An unsettling hiss erupts from the prisoner as a charge of energy courses through its body.
>"Nope, we don't like that answer. Care to try that one again, or do you want level two?"
>"I'm telling you the truth! That purple one is just a sadistic little wench!"
>"Level two!"
>Your duplicate shrieks in agony, thrashing about as it falls to the floor.
>The cries seem to echo endlessly, long after the the creature quiets down.
>"That looked like it hurt a bit more. I'll give you a sec to catch your breath."
>It feels like an eternity before the thing is able to speak.
>"Mother has found very few foes that can stand up to her. Mother was under the impression you did not possess magic, but her metting with you proved that wrong."
>Your twin rises to its hooves, still a bit wobbly.
>"Mother desires your power for herself."
>An uneasy silence settles upon the cell.
>You don't understand how Chrysalis thinks she can harness that power for herself.
>Nor do you want to know, for that matter.
>>27643146
>"See? This can be very easy and painless if you just answer correctly the first time."
>"You will not be laughing after Mother has her way with you."
>anon rolls his eyes, as the fake Luna scowls.
>"I think you're getting ahead of yourself here. But while we're on that subject, where is mommy dearest?"
>The question incites a bout of laughter from the weary prisoner.
>"You really think I will tell you where the hive is located? You think I would betray my own kind?"
>"Okay, we'll start on level two this time."
>You cringe and turn away as the creature screams again.
[Anonymous, maybe we need to take a break.]
>[We're on a roll. We need to press on, Lulu.]
>"Now, try again. I can do this all day, and I still have three more levels on this baby to play with."
>"Go... to... Tartarus.."
>"Cool. Level three!"
>The howls only get louder as the energy increases, the changeling flailing about.
>You spot something that makes your blood run cold.
"Anon, stop!"
>He looks over at you confused, letting go of the button on the remote.
>With a surge of adrenaline, the creature growls, noticing the loosened bindings on its forehooves.
>You try to jump in front of it, but the changeling is quicker, leaping at Anonymous and landing a forehoof across his head, knocking him to the floor.
"Twilight, help me!"
>Before it can take another lunge at Anon, you and Twilight manage to hold the thing back, as you use a bast of magic to subdue the raging beast.
>It falls to the floor, knocked unconscious.
"Dammit, Anon! When I say we need to take a break, we take a break from now on, do you understand?"
>You turn around to him, where he still remains on the floor.
"Anon, are you alright?"
>Your heart rate begins to quicken as you gingerly roll him over.
>An ugly bruise begins to form on the left side of his head, as he lays unconscious.
"Anon, we need to get going!"
>Carefully pulling an eyelid up with your magic, his pupil nearly takes up his whole eye.
"TIA!!"
>>27643152
>The doctors surround Anonymous in a flurry of activity as You and Celestia arrive at the hospital in a flash.
>Numerous tubes and devices are connected up to him, as you try to understand what is going on.
>"Sister, what happened?"
"I don't know! Somehow the thing's bindings got loose, and it just- "
>"I don't have anything over here!"
>The pace of a few doctors quickens, as one attaches something that looks like a bag over Anon's face, pumping it rhythmically.
>What the hay are they doing?
"Sister, I must admit, I didn't pay attention in health or anatomy in school, what - "
>"Still nothing!"
>None of this makes sense!
>He took a blow to the head, clearly it's a concussion.
>A few doctors walk away, as the feverish movement in the room slows down.
"Where are you going?! As your princess, I demand that you return at once!"
>"Luna-"
"We both demand your undivided care upon Anonymous!"
>"Luna-"
"Hush sister!"
>Everypony seems to ignore you as they slowly shuffle past, leaving a ragtag group in the room.
>You can't keep your composure any longer as you raise your voice ever louder.
"Why aren't any of you doing anything?!"
>The head doctor looks over at you, his gaze one of empathy and fatigue.
>"I'm sorry."
>You suddenly feel extremely ill as your knees become weak.
"No. Nonono. NonoNONO! NO! NO!"
>You feel something catch you as you lose all control.
>"Time of death..."
That's all for now, I gotta head off to work.
>Be Anonymous, in the day court.
>Once again Celestia is giving the same run around she's always given you.
>"For the last time Anon, I know you're keen to know more about our world but this is simply too dangerous."
>She wasn't lying, a voyage on this scale had never been attempted in Equestria's history.
>More specifically, circumnavigation.
>With all the beasts in Equestria itself, who's to say what lurks beyond on the seas beyond it's borders?
>Conceding defeat, you look back up to the sun princess. Hiding your annoyance the best you could.
"Thank you for your time Princess. That was all I had for you."
>The amount of times you'd said that line...
>Celestia meanwhile was wearing that motherly smile of hers, the kind you see with that mother knows best attitude of hers.
>Calmly, you begin to turn and exit the throne room with your guard escort in tow.
>Just you as you turn, you see the facade Celestia wears waver just slightly, before raising up a parchment she'd set aside.
>Guess it's back to Ponyville...
>>27643207
>Well this is just great...
>Turns out that you missed the last train heading back to Ponyville.
>Christ, how long was you in there?
>Luckily you weren't completely in hot water considering you'd brought some bits with you.
>Damn ponies using coins, they're heavy as fuck.
>Most of Canterlot was built for the richer ponies and nobles, but there was one place you knew about which was in your price range.
>That was under the city, though it sits on a perch, the shelf holding the city in place was full of the more of the common folk's residences, descendants of the miners who worked the interior of the mountain.
>Seems that knowledge from those books Twilight let you borrow paid off.
>By the time you arrive, the sun's hanging low in the sky and most of the city in general has quieted down.
>One up for the hairless ape I suppose... Considering ponies who've never seen the hairless ape, are usually quite apprehensive about interacting with you.
>After scaring the hell out of the Innkeeper you open the door to your room for the night.
>Despite the small pony furniture it was a nice room, with a dresser, a desk and bed.
>You've had worse.
>Gazing out of the small window it had quite the impressive view of the sunset as it dipped under the horizon giving way to the night.
>The lantern on the desk conveniently lights up, basking the room in a eerie orange glow.
>Magic, duh.
>Setting down the duffel bag you were lugging around you pull out one of the maps looking over it.
>Planning the damn voyage was a challenge in of itself. Magic controlled everything in Equestria and everything beyond it was unknown.
>Groaning you plant your head on the desk and stare out the window into the night sky.
>>27643227
>Then it clicks.
>Darting up you look out the window again and back to the charts and map strewn across the desk.
>You should've thought of this sooner.
>Folding the charts back into the bag you proceed to make your way back up to the castle with newfound vigour.
>As it looms into view, you can't help but notice the way the pale blue light compliments the castle's already immaculate appearance.
>You'd seen Luna all but once and that was when you first arrived here.
>The way she looked at you was a look of judgement, not at all like her sister.
>You're already at the large door of the castle. The main forum was open to the public though as you slowly heave open the door, it's completely empty.
>Save for the few batpony guards who instantly dart in your direction blocking the path.
>"Halt! State your business, beast."
>Well fuck you too. Play it cool anon, you haven't dropped your spaghetti just yet.
"I... was hoping to have a audience with her majesty, Princess Luna."
>Smooth Anon, that'll show them.
>...
>They're eyes narrow. You're sweating already. Untill finally they let up and step back allowing you inside.
>"Remain here. We shall inform the princess of your presence."
>You barely blink and one's returned to their stoic post by the door while the other continues to walk towards the throne room.
>How the fuck did that work? You think before you take a few glances around the room.
>The forum was illuminated barely by a few torches. Textbook spooky castle vibe if you ever saw one.
>Waiting is good, gives you a chance to breather and think things through...
>>27643238
>The clearing of a throat diverts your attention to the guard that had returned. "Follow." he says sternly before turning and leading you inside the throne room.
>The long red carpet was visible from the various stained glass artwork which lined the entire room.
>Sitting on the now shadowy throne was the Princess. You could swear those eyes of hers glowed in the dark as she stared at you.
>Time to keep your poker face if you had one. She's staring into your very soul.
>After a nerve-racking walk you come within reasonable talking distance. Instantly you drop down on one knee, more out of fear if anything else.
>"Rise, Anonymous. State your business with us." She speaks with a stoic voice.
>As you rise to your feet you find yourself having second thoughts.
"Your majesty, I was... wanting to request if you may perhaps, help me with a small ambition of mine."
>She's not moving. Fuck.
"What I mean to say is, your sister thinks that planning a voyage around the world is too outlandish but I thi-"
>Luna cuts you off "That it is human. I do not believe you fully grasp the dangers of our world..."
>Well... Fuck.
>"But we shall humour you, what would Equestria reap from this?"
>A curious thought enters your head.
"It's not what Equestria would benefit from it but... well... you, your highness."
>Luna raises a eyebrow. Not what she was expecting it seems.
"It's one thing to learn about history from books but experiencing the cultures of the world would gives you a massive insight to how the world has changed."
>Her eyes look away, you've got her now!
>Glancing back up she looks at you and speaks in a more, serene voice "Come with me Anonymous."
>The guards, at least what you can see all glance at Luna, but she shuts them down without a word.
"Uh, of course Princess... Lead the way?
>With that she steps of the throne, exhaling calmly and begins walking to a distant door in the corner of the throne room.
>What did you just get yourself into?
>>27643297
I've never written anything before, how's this for you /moon/?
