Choosiesaurus arrives in due time at the base of the mountain
She lowers the somewhat pooped Hijipone onto the grassy floor
Brushies are a sacred and tiring art, and Hijipone might want to nap for a bit
But as it stands, he cannot!
The memes must flow first, and only then can the blue dink actually rest.
He looks up at Choosiesaurus...

He whinnies a thank you to the Choosiesaurus
And the titan of a mare nods back
Her hoovsie thrusters fire off once Hijipone is a safe distance, and she gains altitude slowly

The Choosiesaurus must return to her home planet for dindins herself, and bids the pony farewell.
As she soars into the sky, the various poners of the forest salute and shed but a single prideful tear
Choosiesaurus will return, but for now her planet needs her.

Nature is a mysterious thing, but it is ever so beautiful, isn’t it?
Now that Hijipone is here, it is time to return to the task at hand.
How will the creature overcome this obstacle?
As scientists, we can surmise…
>>
>>27583452
Good. Now that the poner god is pleased, she may have mercy during our next glassing.

Investigate the noises we heard at the base of the mountain.

Naturally, the Hijipone will use diplomacy to try and acquire memes
It may be a thief, but it is not a ruffian

Hijipone barks up the steep mountainsaid, asking if there are any memes to be had
The call of the glacial poner sounds back, demanding money for jumping
The ski masked horse is slightly confused, asking why it would want money to jump down

The horse above merely replies with “FIFTY”

It appears yet another test for Hijipone’s mental mettle is at hand…

The cliffside appears too steep for Hijipone to climb alone and without proper safety gear like a helmet and kneepads.

Instead of resorting to unsafe climbing conditions, the clever poner might…

Offer an alternative incitement to the glacial pony of some valuable professional contacts.

And so, he will bonk his head upon the wall!

*thunk*

The hijipone immediately regrets his decisions and insteads to roll on the floor a bit, reeling and seething

A bandage and a boo boo later, the hijipone has decided upon an element of subterfusge
The residents of tumblr steppes have a penchant for ‘professional’ contacts, and hijipone is a crafty creature

It finds a lunch bag from the area and creates a shoddy effigy of a popular poner long since passed
With his newgound puppet, he coerces the Glacialponer with the call of the nipspone

“How-DEE!”
“How-dee!”
“Howdurgkshdgkjnsg”

And with that, the glacial poner takes some tentative steps down the side of the mountain.

Surely, this will mean hijipone will survive!
He licks his lips in anticipation…

But sadly, it seems fate has other plans for the greedy sausage and his sugar momma of memes
The poner trips and begins a perilous tumble down the mountainside!

Hijipone, unable to perform outside of his genetic railroading, lets her crumble and fall down the side of the tall mountain, landing at a heap at his own feet

The poner is kill.
Nature can be unforgiving.

>>27583718

He leans over and wrests the valuable memestuffs from her corpse
And though they are sour and ill kept
They will grant life to the hijipone for now

In a fit of frustration, hijipone desecrates the corpse

He will need richer, more recent memes to truly sustain himself…

And so, Hijipone calls to the forest, and announces the return of the glacial poner
And to seal the deal, he desecrates the corpse

It is not disrespect for the glacial poner
Merely a method of masking the scent of death upon the target
As well as a means to prevent the poner from coming back as a lich of some kind, such as Nips pone.

Sure enough, upon fully desecrating the body, the bushes rustle, and a pair of ears poke over the leaves
The hijipone knows not if the seeking gaze of the poner wearing fake tufts and quietly kekekeing to itself is hostile or not, and must make a decision.
>>
>>27584103
Be careful. The respone is naturally hostile and consumes all memes. You don't want to be taken to his basement.

Therein lies the craftpone, who is doomed to cuddle tube sand for all eternity.
>>
>>27584103
Make squirrel noises to attract the faux bat.
>>
>>27584103
Perhaps we should pretend to leave. If a respone is present, it could be worth tailing it back to its basement
>>
>>27584103
Quickly apply any available goo and leaves to the ear tips. They may be crude, but surely they will endear you to this beast, and he will begin to enthusiastically gush memes.

The Hijipone holds the respone in high regard, much like how the snake holds the mongoose at an arm’s distance.

The blue thief finds a nearby rock and conceals itself
Its breathing stills and it assumes a low stance…

The respone shows itself, donning its tuft extensions and bat wings
An effective camouflage for moving among the bats of the forest
As well as attracting mates
Or so it believes.

The hijipone suppresses a gleeful squeal
The respone is not only memerich
But easy to track and identifty!

If the hijipone were to follow the respone, a stash of memes would be available for the taking

And what’s this?
The respone nerviously asks if glacierpone wants to see his stash
Glacier pone is dead

He kekekes gleefully, and grabs her tail, and starts to drag
Presumably to his hideout!

Hijipone takes this moment to consider his options…

While he has a block of sour memes to his name, there lays the possibility of getting fresh and healthful ones…
But the glass awaits him if he is discovered…
>>
>>27584262

>>27584262

>>27584262

See if there's any fruit to distract the respone with.

>>27584262

Sometimes he even converses with his meme friends.
So many memes for the taking.
>>
>>27584262
Follow to the stash. Take back what was horded away.
>>
>>27584262
Pack up the sour memes (it's why the sack exists) and follow the respone back to it's stash. We don't have to take anything immediately, but it'd be good to know the location.

The Hijipone knows to not waste memes, no matter how sour or stale a meme is, it must not go unconsumed.
It places the brick of memes into its sack and watches the respone carefully
Using its natural skills of subterfusge, it trips only four (4) times while following the overly pleased respone through the forest.

The respone reaches a large tree, and at the base, the Hijipone can smell the dankest, freshest memes
His mouth waters
His lips quiver
But it must wait

The hijipone knows that a wrong move will result in an untimely glassing
And no one will want that

Instead, it watches respony jam the glacierpone’s corpse into the hole and follow it soon after

In the dark recess, the hijipone sees the respone presenting himself upon his stash
This is a natural mating ritual for the respone
But glacierpone is dead

He sits atop his magnificent pile and raises his tufts and wings
Craftpone sighs, and readjusts its grip on tubesand, a decoy for its affections.
The tubesand is the respone’s personal natural item, much like the hijipone’s bag

And much like tubesand, hijipone’s bag will soon be filled with memes

With respone distracted, a frontal assault may work, but is the Hijipone confident enough to assault the largest memestash in all of the forest?
>>
>>27584491
Probably not.

What he needs is something to draw the respone out.
Perhaps another poner?
>>
>>27584491
i believe in hijipone
full frontal assault
grab those memes!
>>
>>27584491

Following the rails of a frontal assault would only lead to our doom. We are a thief, not a fighter.

We need something to lure him out and away. Perhaps the scent of GC's old sour memes?
>>
>>27584491
Lure him out. Suggest that a hypothetical pony named Easy dindunuffin.
>>
>>27584491
Seek Squirrel. Squirrel spells doom for the respone.
>>
>>27584544
But the respone hates Easy.

He'd be better lured out by the prospect of Tinker being wronged by Easy.
>>
>>27584574
exactly, he would never let the claim that she dindunuffin go unchallenged.
>>
>>27584580

If the hijipone is good at anything, its certainly waffling
After much internal debate, it decides to try and be sneaky and use more intelligent means to separate memeking from memes.

He leans into the hole and shouts a throwaway distraction
The whinny stating a certain flame headed mare “dindu nuffin” is enough to send respone into a chaotic rage

He scrambles from his den, and start slinging obscenities that would make a moff make sad noises.

With the king removed from his throne, the memes lay in the hole unguarded!

The hijipone does what comes naturally. As scientists, we can assume he…
>>
>>27584667
Sneaks around and steals all memes
>>
>>27584667
Offers the craftpone a piece of art in exchange for his silence.

The craftpone is dead inside, it is no threat.
>>
>>27584693
>>27584697
He's blocking the entrance.
>>
>>27584667
Do not confront the craftpon
It doesn't anger easily, but once angered it is capable for arguing over nothing for over 3 hours
>>
>>27584718
Can we steal them too?

The hijipone places a small, but cute, doodle of craft pone upon the sleeping pandahorse

He merely sighs contentedly in response
For he is dead inside

In any case, the hijipone approaches the memepile and begins to fill his bag
After several minutes, the bag is full, and hijipone has consumed enough memes to be content.

A gleeful smile spreads across his face.
And he cradles his bag with much pleasure.

He steals into the forest, and finds a nice hole to crawl into for a nap.

And while the hijipone’s day ends here, there will always be another time, and another meme to steal.

This has been Nature Quest, a documentary about silly ponies in a forest of wonder.

Thank you for playing.

Hey guys, sorry for a delay with no talk about what's going on

Incoming blog post, tl;dr: I'm not dropping my quests. It could be a while before I get back to them. I'm going to try and make it so that I can get back to them soon.

For the longer version, I recently got shifted over to full time at my job which means that between work, transit time, sleep, and other adult things I have to do, I rarely have more than 4 hours of my day where I can just sit down at my computer, and I'm usually exhausted for those 4 hours. I don't generally have more than one day off in a row, and I don't really have a good way of continuing questing right now.

I'm looking to get a more consistent schedule at my job, and I'm also looking into therapy, both of which would help me quest far more regularly. I really enjoy doing Night Delivery and BoatQuest, but I can't continue them right now without a significant drop in quality if I can find the time at all.

Sorry.

http://science.jrank.org/pages/447/Ants-Mating-reproduction-life-span.html
>Although the queen may copulate with several males during her brief mating period, she never mates again. She stores sperm in an internal pouch, the spermatheca, near the tip of her abdomen, where sperm remain immobile until she opens a valve that allows them to enter her reproductive tract to fertilize the eggs.

Oh, that. Yeah, probably, seeing how many drones there were at Canterlot. I doubt they were all fertilized, a queen can only hold so many sperms. Can't afford to use them for every single egg.

Eggs aren't embryonic if they're not fertilized.
Also, I'd imagine that Changling eggs would look a lot like these [PIC RELATED] scorpion eggs.
Of course as a fictional creature (with mammalian horse parts) we don't know for sure that they don't give live birth, only queens lay eggs and drones give live birth because they haven't undergone a transformation or some other autistic bat-shit.
Kinda like how we're still not sure if griffins lay eggs or give live birth.

Soo, I wanted to ask about how I should handle something.
Semantic Error has moved very slowly, I'm sure that it will pick up if we can ever finish this first mission, but as it stands Dual CYOA is getting close to passing Semantic Error in length.
First off, I'd like to say that I very much want and intend to continue Semantic Error as much as I some day wish to start running Ascent.
As such I'm having a very strange personal problem concerning Semantic Error. I have a lot of stuff planned and noted about Semantic Error's setting but I haven't been able to reveal most of it in the quest yet for a lot of different reasons. I originally planed on using the news broadcasts and mission descriptions to give more details about the world as Semantic Error ran but right now but since the quest slowed down I have been feeling a little blue balled with this build up of unused "lore". So I wanted to know what people thought about a couple of methods I could use to alleviate this build up of Ideas I haven't been able to convey.
Now, I could try to write a lore book, but I'm not sure how to decide what aspects to put in it since their context is not necessarily set up in a organized fashion, so I want to engage people and get some kind of direction on what aspects they consider important.
Now some I ideas I d for accomplishing this were:
>Doing a Q and A and recording the questions and answers.
Unfortunately this could kill immersion and I feel like participants may not have a good idea about what they should ask.
>Have a character not important to the CYOA answer questions about them-self.
This could maintain immersion and give a little direction but I might get banned for RPing on 4chan.
>Go ahead and write a dry ass lore book.
The problems with this were already expressed.
>Run an ask blog with a non-important character as supplemental material on an outside site.
I'd probably have to do this on Tumblr and I don't want to be a Tumblr shill.

Any other ideas are appreciated

This seems like by far the best option (to me, anyway). If you are worried about it being misconstrued as RPing, write it in the third person.
>>
Big mare is for suffer

>>27590548

What if you planned and ran a sort of "side-mission" from the point of view of another character in the universe? It would be a faster paced story focused around important setting information. Like the first mission in a videogame where they lead the player around doing menial tasks while people around them exposit on the game's setting. But with actual playing. Then the character can die or something dramatic at the end of the sidemission and we can go back to the main character.
>>
>>27590588
I was talking about doing a dry Q and A not as a character, where I would just kind of answer questions in a strait foreword kind of way.
>>27590815
I like that option best as well but I don't think it would work as well if I wrote it in third person.
>>27590943
As fun as a side mission sounds if I'm running the quest I want to run the actual quest. Also, Semantic Error is actually planned out so there will be events that will happen after so many days have passed in File's life. Because of this I don't want to do anything that might spoil parts of the timeline before they happen.
>>
>>27591055
>I don't think it would work as well if I wrote it in third person
Why not? Write it like an interview. The anon suggestions are the interviewer pony's dialog and the answers are the other pony's dialog. I think it would work just fine.
>>
>>27591119
As an interview between two characters might work although that might shift things a little bit away from the sort of casual conversational tone I would like to use. Also, the character I planned on using couldn't be used but that's fine really.

This actually sounds like the safest option thus far all things considered.

Anybody else have an opinion on this?
Like Should I try doing that here or make a separate one night thread for it or something?
>>
>>27591199
I think that sounds fine. Do it here, you'll get more takers and it might even inspire a couple of people to pick up the quest.
