Hopefully a bit more open edition
Last thread: >>27010949
Last time we got through character creation, a unicorn foal with sleep spells as her preferred type of magic. There's also a waning moon on our ass. We then railroaded our way through the prologueyes, I admit itand the Luna Ascension before falling asleep.
>You wake up to the feeling of air brushing through your mane
>A hard, wooden floor greets you, a puddle of pool formed where your head was laying
>The floor is gently rocking and peering upwards, you can see the sky move by quickly
>Looks like you are in a sky chariot, you gasp at the thought of actually flying!
>Next to you, a familiar voice greets you softly
>"Good morning, sleepyhead, how are you feeling?", the bat mare says, giving you a warm smile
>>27120352
Fine. Where are we going?
>>27120578To the moon!
>>27121061Hooray!
>>27120578
"F-fine! But I want to know where we are going?", you ask a bit hesitantly
>The bat pony just keeps smiling at you before answering
>"We're going home, young one! ...I can tell you it'll be great, you are gonna like it!"
>The mare is a bit hesitant with her answer, but you fail to notice
>The clouds go past the two of you, a large forest of pinetrees below you
>In the near distant, a black structure arises at the horizon and you stare at it in awe
>You can't help but stare at it as it draws closer, it is kind of scary
>It makes you shrink together slightly, shivering at the sight
>A hoof on your back startles you, and you jump in the air with a little yelp
>"You seem a bit uneasy, anything on your mind? Any questions before we arrive at Dark Fortress?"
>>27121122
Just a little worried.
When Luna said 'until the end of your lives,' did she really mean 'until the end of your life?'
>>27121149
"J-just a bit worried", you stammer away
>The bat keeps stroking your back, it feels actually quite nice
>"Worried? How so?", genuine surprise and a bit of confusion appear on the mare's visage
>You mull over the question for a moment, before sighing
"When Luna said 'until the end of your lives', did she... you know, really mean that?"
>It's the batpony's turn to sigh now, her features feeling slightly sadder
>She still genuinely smiles though
>"Of course she did, serving her Grace is a rare privilege that ponies wouldn't want to give up for anything, would they?"
>The answer does not do a lot to calm down that worry of yours
>You still have a few more minutes until you arrive at your destination, is there anything else you want to say? Or do you want to stay silent for the rest of the ride?
>>27121271
Will I at least be able to see my parents again sometime?
>>27121271
Ask for her name.
>>27121277
>>27121308
"W-what's your name? Is it Night Slice or Death Wish or maybe Dark Blade or.. or-"
>You excitedly come up with names you think sound cool
>The bat only chuckles at you, shaking her head every time you say another name
"...well, if it's none of those, what is it?", you curiously ask
>The batpony mare immediately strikes a pose before holding out a hoof to you, introducing herself
>"Name's Moon Chaser, but most ponies around here call me Chase, nice making your acquaintance!"
>Gently taking her hoof, you shake it and she sits back then
>"So, any other questions, cutie?"
"Oh, yes! When can I see my parents again? I wanna see how proud they are!", you gleefully state
>Immediately, the bat's ears droop down, her face growing serious and that smile of hers disappearing
>"Y-you... you won't", she simply states
>How do you respond?
>>27121599
O-oh.
>>27121599
What?
>>27121620
>>27121658
Just to clarify, I am not only talking about verbal but also emotipnal responsr
>>27121599
Why not??
>>27121727
I mean, you're telling a kid they'll never see their parents again.
I'd imagine that's kind of a shock, and even we probably don't know how to process it yet.
>>27121742
It is kinda a hard thing to respond to regardless of age.
>>27121727
That's no small thing. It's a pretty big bombshell for our character, and the full weight of that will take time to sink in.
A pretty typical response to something that big is silence.
>>27121923
>>27121742
Fair point. Gonna have to end the session for today tho
>>27121599
I can only see her speechlessness coupled with choking back tears, and that's all I can see. This wasn't much of a prompt.
>>27121599
But I didn't even say goodbye!
Here's your bump from 10.
>>27121599
Well I hope they are proud
last bump from me
Beb
le beb
hello?
He returned!Bump
Going to bed bump
Slow CYOA.
this is up for getting hijacked
>>27140679
Quite slow, it's not like it takes that much time to write those responses either.
>>27141125
>Take half hour to an hour to write 100 word response
>Two hour session
"Okay, that's enough for today"
>Doesn't run the next day.
>>27141024
>>27141151
Why? What went wrong that you no longer want to run it?
>>27141162
Just don't think I'm suited to QM. Then there's also DS3. And I might have to save a trainwreck
>>27141172
>Just don't think I'm suited to QM
No one does.
>>27141172
>DS3
Admit it, that's the real reason.
>>27141204
part of the reason, but not the full reason. I just don't think I could do this quest justice
>>27142358
Seriously?
>>27143695
Anon. This quest is dead. Don't bump it.
