I don't have a title pic yet.
Welcome back to Friendship is Tragic! In this CYOA, we follow the misadventures of Holiday Special, a reclusive and hotheaded mare who spends most of her time hiding from or lashing out at the world. But in the land of friendship and harmony, this can be quite problematic...
>>25820886
Last time, Holiday Special received a letter from Princess Purplesmart telling her to knock her shit off or Celestia would hear about it. In true festive fashion, Holiday Special responded by going to Twilight's castle, shoving that letter down Twilight's throat, and then terrorizing Ponyville for a little while before going home for a good night's sleep. But unlike Holiday Special herself, sleep would not come easily: Princess Luna lie in ambush like a navy blue shark, waiting to deliver a dire message to Holiday Special... who responded by waking herself up and going down to her workshop to build a dreamcatcher to keep future somnus interlopers at bay.

This is where your quest continues.
>>25820982
Hang it over the bed and sleep off the booze.
>>25820982
Duck tape our masterpiece to our head for maximum dream invader defence and lets take her for a spin by taking a nap on the comfortable floor of our workshop.
>>25821062
Anan pls.
If we hang it on our head then all the dreams it catches can just go into our head.
That's like science and shit.
>>25821092
Shit, you're right.
Tape it to a nearby trashcan.
>>25821053
>>25821062
>>25821092
Confident in her craftsmareship (or maybe that's the half gallon of whiskey talking), Holiday Special considers where to put her new dreamcatcher. While it's tempting to wear it on her head like a crown, she quickly dismisses this idea as dangerous and unscientific. Instead, she hobbles upstairs and hangs it over her bed.
>'Let's see that assless blue bitch get me NOW!'
Her task complete and her spinning house grating on her nerves, Holiday Special closes her eyes and lets herself fall limply onto her bed. She's out cold before she even hits the mattress.

>Ponyville
>Day 2
>12:00 noon
A loud, almost headsplitting knocking comes from downstairs.
>>25821311
ignore it.
>>25821311
Bust down your own door on top of that asshole who thought it was okay to knock at your door.
>>25821311
>Twibutt was supposed to be arranging for us not to be bothered anymore
Sleep harder.
>>25821311
Realize it could be the mailpony again and go over to take his lunch money.
>>25821311
Throw books at the door
>>25821338
>>25821408
>>25821441
>BANG BANG BANG BANG!
The knocking is earsplitting. Holiday Special cannot ignore it, so she does what she does best.
>"Okay, who wants an ass-kicking...?!"
Holiday Special staggers downstairs, flashbacks of the old mailpony filling her mind. Arming herself with a nice hardback bludgeoning device, Holiday Special kicks her door open, hangover-fueled rage in her eyes.
>"Gramps, you REALLY picked a bad day this-"
...
>'Oh fuck.'
>>25821733
The fuck do you want?
>>25821733
He was like that when we found him.
>>25821733
Bend over and offer marepussy to the guards as a bribe.
>>25821770
This is too stupid to not work
>>25821733
Dindu nuffin, I didn't put it in my bag.
>>25821733
Oh fuck is that quad-chin's brother?
>>25821733
Shut the door, run out the back of your house.
>>25821733
No hablo English
>>25821757
>>25821770
>>25821776
>>25821797
Holiday Special quickly weighs her options. As much as she'd love to scream herself silly at these guards and possibly slap them around with her book, that might end with her getting arrested. Also, her head is pounding too much to endure any loud noises, including her own. She tosses the book out of their sight and goes to Plan B:
>'I'm no whorse, but I think I'll have to turn on the charm to handle these idiots...'
Holiday Special strikes her most enchanting pose and bats her eyelashes at the guards.
>"Why, good morning, gentlecolts. What brings you to this lonely mare's house so early...?"
"It's lunchtime, Holiday." the pegasus guard answers tersely. "And you're lucky that that door missed me, or else we'd be taking you in. Again."
Holiday Special begins to sweat, but she maintains her innocence as best she can.
>"Oh, my, I wasn't trying to hit you, sir! I was just... trying to get the smell out! I was working and spilled some paint thinner, and it's very strong. Really stinks, you see. That's all."
One of the guards pokes his head forward and sniffs the air.
"I don't know what kind of paint thinner smells like whiskey and body odor," he remarks, "but if I were you, I'd switch to a less offensive brand."
>>25821936
Okay but why are you here.
>>25821936
Gently tell him off that odorless paint-thinner is quite expensive last you checked, and that our brand gets the job done.
Why are they here? Ask.
>>25821936
Ask them what the fuck they want again since they ignored the question the first time.
>>25821936
Well officers, what would you want with little old me?
>>25821936
Thanks for the advice.
what do you want?
>>25821936
It appears the mare pussy didn't work... Offer up the ponut, all those days of stretching out that muscle weren't for nothing!
>>25821969
>>25821971
>>25821979
>>25822126
>>25822138
In a rare display of self-control, Holiday Special lets the clueless guard's insult bounce off her.
>"I'm self-employed, sir! I buy all of my own supplies, so I must cut corners and use whatever is available sometimes. Odorless paint thinner is more expensive, you know!"
>'You fucking cockhole.'
"Mm." replies the guard.
>"So, since I didn't catch it the first time, what brings you here?"
>'You deaf son of a retarded goat.'
The unicorn steps forward, levitating an envelope from underneath his saddle armor. "We have a letter for you from Princess Celestia." he answers. "Her Majesty has been trying to contact you, but it would seem to no avail. She requested this letter to be delivered to you personally, so she would be certain you received and read it."
>"I see..."
"You needn't worry." the guard continues. "The Princess has generously already handled the costs of postage, expedience, and so forth. The only form of payment she requests from you is the time it will take you to read what she has written."
"Considering your history," the other guard adds, "we believe it's in your best interests to accept."
>>25822200
It's a step in the right direction.
Might as well read the stupid letter.
>>25822200
Fine whatever
>>25822200
Read the letter, but just remember, if anything goes wrong you can always offer up your three holes.
>>25822200
Read letter.
>>25822200
Resist the urge to beat the guards to death.
Read the letter.
>>25822200
Muster the strength to say thank you and read the letter.
>>25822212
>>25822234
>>25822253
>>25822260
>"...Okay."
Holiday Special takes the letter, which she has to admit puts Purplefart's letter to shame. The envelope sparkles like there's gold dust in it, and the wax stamp of Celestia's Cutie Mark is almost half the width of the envelope, not to mention incredibly thick and ornate. Holiday Special actually feels a tiny bit bad as she breaks it.
However, the contents of the envelope quickly change her mind...

>>25822498
You are obviously being oppressed by the law. Start a revolution, find all the grumpy ponies you can and take over Ponyville, and then Equestria!
>>25822498
Wow. YOUR ANTI-SOCIAL, FUCK YOUR PRIVACY , FUCK YOUR SOLITUDE MAKE A FRIEND NIGGA, NO I DONT CARE THAT YOU DONT SOCIALIZE WELL OR THAT YOU WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE. sunbutt can suck a dick.
>>25822498
What the fuck is this shit? Fatbutt said we would be left alone no strings attached, and this is a motherfucking noose!
>>25822498
I say we leave equestria and come more powerful and then fuck them all up.
There has to be a few more artifacts of power or something out there.
>>25822498
>let go of your anger
>>25822498
>purpleslut can't solve her own problems so she told celestia on us
What a faggot.
Eat the letter and then lets go make nice with that pink friend slut. We'll have this shit done by the end of the day and then we can start our plot to usurp that fat cakeslurping asshole who thinks ponies social lives are her business.
>>25822568
We must ascend to godhood and become the princess of wrath!
>>25822498
What this guy said >>25822584
Eat the letter, attempt befriend Ponk because we'regoing to host the most-fun-fucking-filled X-mas party ever.
>>25822498
So the government has decided that it knows best how we need to live our life. Go find the pink slut in town and drag her to Twilight. There, we made a friend.
>>25822527
Take over Equestria Va revolution!
For grumpy ponies everywhere!
>>25822498
Go to Princess Twilight's castleand proceed to have a gry sex with her until she agrees to quit it
>>25822498
Damn it, I thought Purplesmart agreed to make sure we aren't bothered with making friends anymore and she would arrange for us to be left alone. I think you should go complain that she changed the terms of the agreement without our consent.
>>25822527
>>25822545
>>25822562
Holiday Special drops the letter, a look of pure rage on her face.
>"What the fuck is this shit?! Twatlight told me I'd be left alone, and she goes and TATTLES on me to Celestia?! What kind of horseshit is this?!"
"Have you read the letter in its entirety?" the pegasus guard asks.
>"YES I READ THE FUCKING LETTER!! WHO DOES SHE FUCKING THINK SHE IS?! WHO I DO AND DON'T LIKE ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT'S BUSINESS!"
As Holiday Special rants and steam pours from her ears, the guards glance at each other and exchange a quick smile.
"Wanna go get some donuts?"
"Sounds good to me."
>>25822584
>>25822607
>>25822616
>>25822656
>>25822716
>>25822778
Twenty minutes later, Holiday Special is finally done ranting. Now that she's no longer seeing red, she tries to think of a plan. But she's still pretty mad, and it's distracting her.
>'I need some pony who'll go along with this garbage... But who? Urgh... That ass-smelling purple bitch... She's got some nerve ratting me out. I should... No, focus, Hol. You need to find some pony that's easy to get along with... As much as I hate the pink one, she jumps at the chance to make new friends. No, literally, she jumps! I've seen it! Maybe I should find her and drag her over to Twatlight's... who I will then beat the living shit out of! Or maybe I should do that first... It sounds so much more appealing, but it'll get me in even deeper shit. Gah, damn it, what should I do?!'
>>25822941
Pink friendship horse.
>>25822941
Go see that pink slut
>>25822498
Fuck it! If purpleslut and sunbutt want us to make friendsc we'll make more friends than anyone ever has! Just to fucking spite them!
>>25822941
THIS IS ALL PART OF THEIR PLAN HOLIDAY. theyre just trying to trick you into doing what you dont want with the threat of exile
>>25822941
See pink friendship slut
>>25822987
I'm pretty sure a threat isn't the same thing as a trick.
>>25822941
Pink slut.
Giver her a toy or a beer and then declare mission accomplished.
>>25822941
This >>25822976
Make more friends than there are ponies in Equestria byspreading holiday cheer using the mirror pool.
>>25822987
FUCK THE THEM. Who do they think they are forcing their way of life on us!
Lets raise hell!
>>25822941
Fuck it, all that sounds too hard.
Just leave equestria.
>>25822941
Fuck off out of Equestria. Send Celestia a drunken letter full of hate.Maybe put anthrax or something in it.
>>25822941
FUCK CELESTIA
WE EXILE OURSELVES
>>25822941
Screw sunbutt. Leave Equestria.
>>25822941
Eh, I guess we can try being diplomatic first. See the pink one, endure her party (maybe even have some fun, I'm sure a party can't be that bad, just bring some alcohol), then go to that treacherous princess and demand to know why she changed the terms. Politely. The sooner this is over, the sooner you can go buy some paint.
>>25822941
I don't want to be where i'm not wanted. Screw them all. We can come back and get revenge later.
>>25823045
>>25823040
>>25823039
>>25823055
While I'm tempted to go with this, we just recently moved there and constructed an underground workshop. We probably don't have the bits needed to build another workshop elsewhere.
>>25823071
Sell it off.
>>25822941
Ignore Celestia, get shipped off later.
>>25823080
this
we still have 6 days, let's prepare everything for the exile instead
>>25822941
Growing majority, which I agree with, is to gize zero fucks about Celly.
>>25822941
Clearly we should take all her friends as our own. Then Celestia will be forced to play nice with us at various social events, and we can make it clear we fucking hate her guts everytime.
>>25823080
>>25823090
Agreed,
ESTATE SALE, EVERYTHING MUST GO BY FRIDAY!!.
>>25823039
>>25823040
>>25823045
>>25823055
>>25823070
>>25823090
But if we move away, who are we supposed to grace with the fruits of our special talent? Do the adjacent countries even celebrate hearth's warming? It seems like a compeeling idea, but I think we can't just leave Equestria like that.
>>25823122
Compelling? You've got a majority here. Don't fight it, make it work.
>>25823071
>>25823122
Think about it anon we could start out own kingdom it would be awesome because we could declare that it's hearth's warming everyday!
A place where everypony can be themselves.
>>25823122
Alt ending? I say we still go to ponk
>>25823122
we start our own holiday with the yaks obviously
>>25823131
>Majority
Seems split pretty evenly.
>>25823163
Keep telling yourself that.
>>25823122
If they don't know about Hearth's Warming, then we need to teach them, by force if necessary...
>>25823122
Yeah. I'd rather try the pink slut idea first.
>>25823176
I'd agree though. There are plenty of votes for friending ponk.
>>25823176
You're right it's not evenly split, pink/friend is the majority.
9 pink sluts/all the friends
1 raise hell
7 exile/ignore
>>25823207
But more for leaving.
>>25823207
But what about those filthy heathen Buffalo and Griffins?
They need to understand the glory of hearth's warming, even if some need to die for it.
>>25823198
pls no
we all know that ponk feelings are going to get hurt
>>25823233
Nope.
>>25823233
Incorrect.
>>25823249
Yup.
>>25823263
Unfortunately lad we can count, and so can Inept.
There's no conflict here. We can try the friend thing and then leave. We have six days.
We are not leaving Equestria to go live with other species who are even more annoying and don't even celebrate Hearths warming. Spending two minutes with Ponka to prevent exile is the easiest solution
>>25823242
>implying she cares as long as Holiday parties with her and says she's friends with her. And if not, we can try alcohol.
pink slut votes are obviously Inept trying to keep the CYOA on rails
>>25823249
>>25823259
>>25823275
>this guy
>>25823285
>Inept needing a majority of votes to keep the CYOA on track.
>>25823281
We'd problably like living with the griffons but imagine the nightmare it'd be to obtain supplies.
>>25823289
That's at least two guys.
>>25823285
.... This is truth. We're on to him...
Notice how Inept has yet to post the next bit, despite how we've proven what we want.
>confirmed for samefagging
>>25823285
>Inept
>railroading
>railroading in a quest as random as this one
I'm pretty sure she has fun either way, whether it's the players doing what she thought of or her inventing cruel ways to punish them if they don't.
>>25823312
Inept is obviously >>25823300
>>25823316
Writing's on the wall, anon. You can accept it or not.
>>25823297
>him
>>25823285Nah, I'm just waiting (and frequently editing the next pic/post) right now. But if you want me to input something at all, I will say >>25823232 is kind of cheating by grouping the "make ALL the friends!" option and the "go see Ponk now" option together when they're clearly two different ideas and they don't occupy the same timespan: One is an immediate action which will be the next pic I post, while the other is a long-term goal. By my count, as of >>25823275, there's 10 pro-leaving votes and 9 pro-Ponk votes, and a bunch of other stuff. If I'm wrong, please take me by the head and count for me, but as of right now, it's still basically a 50-50 split.
>>25823312
Inept hasn't posted the next bit yet because it hasn't been an hour.
>>25823355
Evidence in... >>25823337 her? favor. I think she's innocent of the samefagging.
>>25823374
They're just trying to meme their option into being taken.
>>25823355
Buy some crows, train the to talk shit, and tell princess fatass we made some friends.
Screw this nonsense
Let's just pretend we never read that letter and go back to sleep
The letter never specified what kind of ponies we needed to make friends with. I vote we start looking for criminals who would help us raise hell.
>>25823382
Probably true.
Imaginary friends and tulpas are a thing y'know
Wait guys, what if we built ourselves a friend instead?
>>25823414
>>25823423
okay then
She already has friends, it's obviouslyus_______
>>25823423
I think that's a bit too complex even for us.
>>25823423
I like this as a backup plan
>>25823439
you just want to see the pink horse, don't you?
>>25823434
We already have one meta Inept quest, thank you very much.
>>25823454
An imaginary friend is alright in my book, but I think building a robot is out of even our reach.
>>25823439
Nonsense! It'll be like Pinoccio if he swore a lot and hated everyone.
>>25822498
6 days is Christmas.
Guys, this might be what we have to do.
>>25823478
>implying inept is that clever
>>25823414
>>25823423
I don't think those pricks are so stupid that saying we are our own friend, using a imaginary friend or forcing pinky to be our friend would work.
They would just kick us out immediately afterwards because they didn't think we were taking things seriously.
That's why think should do our own thing. Also I don't want to make friends with any of the ponies.
>>25823506
If we make our own we won't have to.
>>25823478
Personally, I want to spend five days trying to deal with this and then get in Twilight's face on Christmas Eve about how a bunch of foals aren't getting toys they were supposed to because we were dealing with this instead of working like we wanted.
I honestly don't want to leave the princesses win
They are abusing their power
The letter never specified the friend had to be a pony.
Why don't we just buy a mouse for a pet?
>>25823499
>implying he isn't
>>25823519
and then she'll tell us something like
"there is no better present than a new friend :D"
just before to create presents for everyone with her brand new spell
Would anyone complain if I just rolled? There's 7 votes specifically for each option and at least 3 more in agreement with each or opposing the other.
Lets murder twilight.
>>25823555
If this post is 4 or under we go to the friendslut, if it's 5 or higher we plan to self-exile.
>>25823555
Na, have Holiday leave.
>>25823569
>inb4 but it doesn't count ;~;
>>25823555No, just let them argue, this is funny.
>>25823555
Check 'em.
>>25823555
I would still rather leave and start new.
Just post the next one Inept, let's end this faggotry.
>>25823588I know, and I love when players deliberate on how to approach situations, but it's not really going anywhere anymore.

As Holiday Special debates on which of the ponies she hates the most in this town to go and visit, she suddenly comes to a realization:
>'Wait a second... If I don't like any pony around here, and most of the Princesses - the fucking FACES of Equestria - hate me and want me to change or leave, then who cares if I get exiled from Equestria? It's not like I'm being banished from the PLANET or something. I can just tell Celestia and her entire pride parade kingdom to suck my ponut and then leave before they can kick me out. It's foolproof!'
A vindictive grin on her face, Holiday Special clops her hooves on the ground. She has an idea, but she needs a plan to make it work.
>'I have 20 bits and six days... Not a lot to work with. I can't even buy a train ticket out of Equestria and just hobo it with that little...
So, what's the first step of my master plan?'
You know, if we're going to do an estate sell it'd be good to grab the friendslut anyway. Since she knows everyone in town she'd be able to tell the ponies that need stuff that we're selling that we're selling.
>>25823762
Start selling your shit off, discreet as possible.
>>25823762
But we never got to finish that train set.
>>25823762
Bank heist.
>>25823762
Isn't leaving kinda a shit idea? I mean, she wanted to do all these toys to make little foals happy and now she just wants to throw all that work away?
>>25823769
Seems legit, Moving party.
>>25823816
She's been here for months, presumably she's got a storage room full of toys somewhere that she's now going to have to sell instead of give away. Yeah it's a pretty shit idea.
>>25823762
Well, I suppose the first step would be to make a list of things you want or need to take with you. Then you need to pack these. Then you need to think about transportation (by hoof, by carriage, by train) and how much it would cost. Then, if you have enough money, you can leave. If you don't have enough money or don't want to leave with as few as you have, you'll have to try to sell anything you'll leave behind and then leave. Technically, there would be a "say goodbye to friends and family" step before leaving, but that doesn't seem to apply to you so there's no need for it.
>>25823762
We should probably go visit Dad and tell him we've set to be exiled.
>>25823840
All I see is a storage room full of product waiting to be sold. Hell if we can manage a cart we could probably sell it on the road.
>>25823816
>>25823840
>making toys for annoying kids for free is somehow a better idea than sell them
>>25823816
>>25823840
>>25823873
>>25823880
We have two very different types of players in this quest.
>>25823880
It actually is, considering that she apparently wants to make them happy with it. Just fucking off would go against her wishes to do exactly that.
If anything she should at least finish the rest first
>>25823892
It's been there the entire time. Just not as readily apparent. "Let's try to give her more personality" vs "Fuck depth, she's ANGRY". Every personality post has an opposing irrationally stupid post.
>>25823762
Burn your house down. Claim the insurance money.
>>25823816
>>25823840
Shit idea or not, it's what the QM chose, so we better make it work!:^)
>>25823880
It's still our special talent. However asocial we may be, we're still the Hearth's Warming Eve mare.
>>25823917It's what Inept always wanted (back), the playerbase that argues with each other
>>25823911
then let's leave but just after making those little ponies happy
>>25823943
>>25823928
>>25823946
Well I don't see why we can't do both.
We want to be free to live as we want and also make kids happy.
So who else lives outside the law has his own village and makes kids happy all over. FUCKING SANTA THAT'S WHO!
Lets become santa mare!I bet diamond tiara will regret being a bully after getting on our naughty list.
>>25824034
this
this is our DESTINY
>>25824034
But we should still finished out work first. Unless we can take everything with us and finish and deliver it time, which is doubtful.
>>25824042
My god, you're right!
No one cared who we were, until we put on the festive hat.
>>25824034
But we already are Santa Mare, so how would that be different than now except for not living in Ponyville? We'd still need to get supplies and food and such. It doesn't really change things.
>>25824034
>Santa Mare
Should we head north then?
>>25824111

>>25824034
We aren't Santa though. We can't make toy supplies or food appear out of thin air. How will we provide for ourselves?
>>25824135
That's the point of becoming santa dude. We can figure it out the rest on the way there.
That's the point of a personal magic journey.

>'Selling things is an easy way to make money... But it'd be kind of stupid to just drag my stuff outside and stick signs on it, wouldn't it?'
Still, while Holiday Special is uncertain about the execution, the idea itself still has merit. She goes back into her house and has a look around. For some pony who lives alone, she does have more furniture than she needs. In fact, she could easily build more if push comes to shove. She's worked with wood and fabric plenty of times in the past.
>'I have plenty of both of those things downstairs... don't I? I thought I had paint, too. Maybe I should check.'
Holiday Special goes down to her workshop and checks her shelves. There's plenty of wood - 50 pounds of planks, at least - and over a dozen rolls of different fabrics, including some fancy stuff from that posh fashionista who's just a little too up her own ass for Holiday Special's tastes. As she goes to head back upstairs, though, Holiday Special passes the train she didn't finish. She glances at it, and she smiles as she thinks of how it'll look when it's finished. And then she'll give it to some little pony, and the little pony will be happy...
But then another thought crosses her mind. What if she sells the train instead? She sells plenty of the stuff she makes, sure, but that's to adults. She's never sold a foal's toy before.
>'I DO need money fast... I wonder...'
Holiday Special feels something deep inside.
>>25824443
Do not commercialize the Hearth's Warming!
>>25824443
Try to make money some other way than to sell what was made for foals
>>25824443
Se commercialize the Hearth's Warming.
>>25824443
If we can build toys we can build other shit to sell.
>>25824443
We can make other things to sell. We are not compromising our gift giving because of the princesses' bullshit.
>>25824443
We must keep Hearth Warming sacred.
>>25824443
I'm not against selling toys but not the ones we've already made. Those are for the kids. Plus it's way too close to the holidays. It just wouldn't be very in the spirit of things.
In fact why don't we just spend the first day giving away the toys we have to kids or donate them to a orphanage.
Then sell the junk we don't need (couch, fridge, etr.) then buy or make a cart with the money we have and set out on our quest.
>>25824443
Perhaps we could try making different kinds of toys to sell.Toys for adults.I'm sure the hyperactive pink bitch would love to buy some for her undoubtedly massive collection.
>>25824632
Sex toy and furniture dealer by day.
Childrens toy maker by night.
Sounds like the perfect cover for the first ever equestrian santa.
But we should probably test and see how good we are at making things like that first.
>>25824499
>>25824516
>>25824535
>>25824574
>>25824584
>>25824602
Holiday Special feels something deep inside: guilt.
>'What's the matter with me? I can't sell these toys, they're for the schoolkids!'
Holiday Special shakes her head and steers her thoughts in another direction.
>'Maybe I can make other things to sell instead! I have wood, fabric, glue, nails, nuts, bolts, tools... What could I make with that? Well, I guess I can make a lot of stuff, fucking duh. But I need a way to know who wants what, or I'll have even more useless stuff than before...'
The festive mare paces back and forth, trying to decide on a single idea.
>'The clock is ticking, Hol. You can't just spitball ideas all day. You need to take action! So, what'll that action be?'
>>25824862
Build an AutoBlow.
>>25824862
We could go to the store and buy some paint for that train and see if we can find someone who needs something we can make on the way.
>>25824862
Does Ponyville have one one these blackboards where ponies write things they want to have done? Like "need X" or something.
Else just go buy paint and one your way try to find out what is currently needed.Maybe do it like a charity. Buy stuff from me and you help making foals happy on Heart's Warming.
>>25824862
Go look to see if we can get some custom orders, there's always last minute shoppers who need that special something, and because of the timing we can charge higher prices!
>>25824862
Urg, we're gonna have to go talk to ponies.
>>25824898
>>25824932
>>25824942
As much as she doesn't want to go outside and deal with anypony, Holiday Special can only come up with two ideas right now that might at least reward her for deigning to do so:
>'I can go to Pone Depot and hope I have enough money for some paint, or I can go to the Problem Solver and see of there's any jobs that I can do.'
>>25825210
Check the board, buy paint later.
>>25825210
>>25825246
If we find some nice jobs to do there were can get enough money to make even more toys and thus more foals happy
>>25825246
>>25825267
>>25825286
Holiday Special quickly decides on the Problem Solver.
>'At least I don't have to talk to any pony there.'
As she heads into town, Holiday Special is greeted by passing ponies who give her dirty looks and some who even cross the road to avoid her. Holiday Special might take offense on another day, but right now she's on a mission. And that mission is to find out how to fund her mission of not have to take on a mission.
...Wait, what? You stupid horse that doesn't even make sense.
I mean, uh, a short time later, Holiday Special arrives at a somewhat run-down brick building near town hall, with a sign above the door that says 'The Problem Solver.'
>'This place creeps me out... It's always empty, even in the middle of the day. And you can't see who works here because of those bars.'
"Hello." a male voice says from the barred window, making Holiday Special jump a little. "It's a surprise to see you here."
>>25825683
"Mind your own damn business."
Check the board.
>>25825683
Tell them to fuck off and check the board for something you can do.
>>25825683
Tell him to buzz off and check the board. We're here to get paid, not because we're really interested in helping.
>>25825683
Ignore pleb, examine jobs.
>>25825707
>>25825718
>>25825722
>"Fuck off and mind your own business."
"That's about what I expected." the voice answers with a sigh. To Holiday Special's surprise (and relief), its owner doesn't persist in trying to converse. If Holiday Special was in a better mood, she might even have thanked him for that. But not now. She has business to attend to. And this mystical and wonderfully-colored bulletin board is going to lead her to it.
>'I can't see those ones at the top... They must be for pegasi. Or giraffes. Oh well, there's plenty to choose from that I don't need to snap my neck to read.'
Went into overtime tonight. Sorry if I kept you up, but I think I'm going to stop here for now. I'll be back later/tomorrow. See you then, and thanks for playing!
>>25826126
fix that thing
treads is for bully
>>25826139
night faglord.
>>25826126
We can do some pest controlling.
>>25826139
Sleep tight, sleepymurderer
>>25826126
Pest control one might be good.
Applehorse will probably pay us and maybe we could offer to build her a new cart or something too for more money.
>>25826126
Take pest control, smash pests, maybe find the boat. Or make a new one.
>>25826126
Also remember that kid lost his toy boatand give one to him on Heart's Warming
>>25826126
That kid lost his toy sail boat, therefore we should make a model Galleon for the kid. We hate everything but Hearth's Warming.
>>25826126
Just sell the children's gifts man. Let's see how all those adults feel when the person who makes gifts for the kids disappears!
It'd be neat to show that you don't have to change to be appreciated, Holiday Special may be a grumpy asshole, but she's a grumpy asshole who provides a necessary service of being Santa for ponies.
>>25826795
Nah man. The whole point of us leaving is to prove the princesses can't make us change.
That goes right out the window if we immediately compromise on the one thing we hold sacred.
>>25826126those yellow notes, well done, i keked
>>25826570
>>25826180
this
>>25826126
Well, I would consider seeing the foal to at least know what kind of boat he had so we maybe can make him a new one if we don't find it, but the kids in the town have probably been advised to steer clear of us, so it might not be the best idea.
Pest control seems like something that would be right up our alley, though. And AJ probably doesn't care who helps her.
As for the loan, we could probably scare a greedy creditor off for a while, but they usually come back so unless those ponies just need a quick holdup to get the money together, we can't really help them.
>>25826126
We can't really help with the loan and even if we find that kid's boat he's a fucking kid, he'll probably give us like three bits. Go for the pest control.
>>25826156
>>25826164
>>25826179
>>25829756
>>25831594
>'Pest control, huh? Applehick has this town in her saddlebag. She'll probably pay well. And smashing bugs is always therapeutic!'
Her mind made up, Holiday Special heads over to Sweet Apple Acres for her new 'job.'
A short time later, Holiday Special arrives at Applejack's stupid barn-house-steeple-thing. She goes around to the side and knocks on the door. A moment later, and a towering red brute of a stallion wearing a work collar answers the door. He looks down at Holiday Special with what might be a stern expression, but she can't be sure.
>'He's got a Hell of a poker face.'
"...Yes?" the red behemoth says simply.
>>25833031
Tell him you're here to help with the pest control thing and make sure it's a paying job.
>>25833031
tell him your hear about the pest control notice. and comment that hes a big guy.
Ask if he's just as big there down there.
>>25833089Ask if there's more than pest control you can help withFor a fee of course, these toys don't gonna make themselves
>>25833031
make a sly comment about not only be apt at getting rid of pests, but also being great at relieving frustrationif he catches your meaning.
>>25833031
Feel attraction to his complete void of emotions.
>>25833031
tell him you're here about the pest control
>>25833089
>>25833127
>>25833130
>>25833160
The ever-unscrupulous Holiday Special responds to the presence of a male by attempting to seduce him for the second time today.
>"Ho ho...! You're quite a big guy."
"Fer you." he responds tersely, his eyes boring into hers.
>"Are you that big all over, handsome? Say, down there...?"
"Eeyup."
Holiday Special turns sideways, wagging her curly tail back and forth.
>"Mmm, I see... Got a few bits? Maybe we can go over to the barn and you show me?"
He responds by slamming the door in her face.
>>25833311
I bet he's gay. No one not gay can resist our irresistible charm.
Maybe look around and try to find the other member of the Apple family to ask about pest control?
>>25833311
knock again and say you're actually here for pest controlonce again players try to fuck everything in sight
>>25833311
>"Fer you."
>not "eeyup"
>>25833311
Yell through the door he doesn't know what he is missing out on then go find AppleJack
>>25833311
go find applejack and let her know you're here for pest control
>>25833311
see, the problem is we asked for money. We're classier than that. Yell through the door that if he changes his mind, there's a special for the holidays.
>>25833336We just want for Holiday Special to receive a special surprise for Heart's Warming too
>>25833524
"I'M PREGNANT?!"
Actually, I wonder if that'd stay the exile.
>>25833311
Shout that you're actually there for the pest control. If that doesn't work, see if you can find another Apple somewhere on the fields.
>>25833336
>once again players try to fuck everything in sightIs this because of playerbase size, the random nature of the quest, or because /mlp/ is just that thirsty?
>>25833538
>Not wanting to jump Big Mac's extra-large bones.
What are you, gay?
Maybe we can look into the barn or by the Apple trees to see if we can find Granny Smith or Applejack
>>25833538I just want to satisfy my impregnation fetish and see happy with a cute foal she can teach how to make toys and stuff
>>25833311
knock on the door again. ask where the pest are.
>>25833538>I just want to satisfy my impregnation fetish
Muh nigga.I need that little white pixel dripping from Holiday. Just think of the drawfagging it'd inspire
>>25833328
>>25833362
>>25833435
>>25833538
Fuming, Holiday Special goes off in search of Applehick. Luckily for the festive mare, a bright orange horse isn't very hard to find in a giant field of green. As Holiday Special approaches, she sees that the work mare is wielding some kind of pressure sprayer, but to little avail.
>"Hey!"
The Element of Honesty turns to the source of the voice; her expression darkens when she sees its owner. "Can Ah help you...?" she asks, not even trying to hide her frown.
>"I'm here about the pest control job. I saw it at the Problem Solver."
Applejack blinks. "You? Wanna HELP me?"
>"Not really, but if it pays, I will."
"Ah don't believe ya." the orange mare replies. "You ain't ever helped anypony in this town. Why are ya suddenly tryin' ta volunteer yer services?"
Her eyes narrow.
"Especially to 'a half-retarded inbred yokel lahk Applejack?'"
>>25833733
Money.
>>25833733
we need the money so we can get out of this dump and leave this pussylegs country and go somewhere nice. like pony russia.
>>25833733
The government has decided to take my property and force me into exile so I need money. Are you going to sit here and whine about the past or am I going to help you with some pests?
>>25833733
Because I need money to move to someplace less shitty.
>>25833733
The part where you pay me after i'm done.
>>25833733
Bits, bits, and more bits.
>>25833733
We're raising money to leave the country so we can start a toy workshop in solitude.
>>25833733
"Look, just tell us what needs to be done and pay us and we'll get along quite nicely "And maybe we wouldn't need to if your colt-cuddler of a brother hadn't rudely shut the doors on us
>>25833733
Personal reasons you half-retarded inbred yokel.
>>25833733
Applejack is full of shit. We donate toys to the orphans all the time...I think.
Just because we don't like other ponies doesn't mean we go out of our way to hurt them.
>>25833744

>>25833987
>"I just need money, okay? I spread my cheerful demeanor to your swarm of bugs instead of you, you pay me, we both go our separate ways a little happier."
"Yeah, obviously ya wanna get paid." Applejack responds flatly. "But what for? You in debt to the donkey mafia or somethin'? Run outta whiskey? What?"
Holiday Special glowers.
>"If you absofuckinglutely HAVE to know, I'm moving. That way we'll all be a whole lot happier: You won't have to deal with my sunny disposition and I won't have to deal with you all crying about me to Mommy Twatlight and Daddy Shitlestia. Now can we get this over with or what?"
"Movin'?" Applejack echoes, her expression finally brightening. "Shoot, why didn't ya say so from the beginnin'? Alright, yer hired. Take this sprayer an' follow me. Ah'll show ya where the problem's the worst."
>>25834192
Have holiday show a little compassion to thespiders
>>25834192
Let's hurry up and get this done.
>>25834192
Tell her that if she doesn't stop acting like an ass you'll get the donkey mafia to beat her ass
>>25834192
Whats with all this Donkey mafia crap.
All we want to do is make toys for kids and be left alone.
Anyway lets just finish this job.

"Alraht, partner, this here's the root of the problem. Ah need you ta clear out these pests as quick as ya can, before they can ruin this entire grove!"
>"What the Hell is going on, why does everything look different and- SWEET CELESTIA THOSE BUGS ARE HUGE!"
"Now don't y'all worry yer curly hair 'bout that - that's just so ya can see 'em better! Those fruit flies aren't gonna hurtcha none, especially while yer luggin' that fruit fly repellant around. That stuff'll send 'em runnin' lahk a mud-caked pig from a washtub!"
>"Okay, so what do I do? Just go around spraying the trees?"
"Darn tootin'. Lemme jus' readja the instruction manual."
>"You can read?"
"AHEM! 'Ta use the Fantastic Fruit Fortifier 4000, simply walk up, down, left, or raht ta the nearest tree an' give it a good spray, an' any fruit flies should immediately flee. Furthermore, fruit flies in any adjacent tree will also flee, except for trees oriented diagonal from the tree being treated due to Fruit Fortifier-brand repellant's limited area of effect. Furthermore, fruit flies may return to trees during treatment by migrating or even breeding if the infestation is not fully eliminated quickly enough.'"
>"So spray the trees in a way that it scares off all the flies?"
"Egg-zactly! But be quick: If the fruit flies linger fer too long, they'll ruin the quality of our apples!"
>"What a travesty that would be."
"Ugh... Tell ya what: If ya prevent that from happenin', I'll throw in some extra bits as a bonus, alright?"
>"...Okay, fine."
"Then it's a deal! Break a leg!"
>"Don't tempt me."
