Howdy, partner!
What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses.
Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.
The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:
~~~~~
>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?
>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

First for Celestia and Luna
>>26346185
Well, that's new. And strangely fitting...
FREEEE
BEACH EPISODE OVER
>>26346249
It was fun, while it lasted. And hey, at least it wasn't another Partyland... despite taking place over the course of a week.
>>26346295
Yeah, that is kinda funny. PL's three days were like, 12 threads, but we kept going through days just fine with this one.
>>26346395
Meh, we had less storylines going on this time, by shoving everyone in the same two places/one place, we can just focus on them and not "The search for ___" that took up three threads.
We learned.
Pinkie Preview Prophecy
>Rarity needs AJ to drop her pants.
>Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash put the lime in the coconut.
>I drive Twilight in a balloon car!
>Spike falls in love with a mighty giant burrito and has to decide if he wants to eat perfection.
>Celestia and Luna dress up some pigs in pony clothing.
>The Crusaders run into a very slender mare in a suit and have trouble making out her face.
>And her name is BON CENA!
>Diarrhea worth of fanservice!
>>26346502
>Diarrhea worth of fanservice!
I can't tell if you are running out of fan service ideas, or if you are just straight up fucking with us at this point.
>>26346515
The second one.
Obviously.
>32
"Snake Eyes"
'Pommel'
-Daw-
~77~
=Sunset=
>Terribly sorry about that little tantrum, I had no idea those ruffians were your friends.
'It doesn't look like you did a lot of damage thankfully. We'll go say hi after-'
-We deal with this rotten fuck? Aye.-
>Right then, High Roller, what do you have to say for yourself?
"Who's High Roller?"
>Oh piss off with that, I know it's you!
"You're insane, you know that?"
>Why did you look like you'd seen a ghost when you first saw me then?
"Because the bogeymare of Equestria had just casually walked up to me."
>And your immediate attempt to flee the island?
"A bunch of drunks and louts had suddenly taken up residence in my hotel of choice. There went the neighborhood."
>And what about my cockroach?
"...cuckoo! Cuckoo! Are you all hearing this!? These are the ludicrous babbles of a fellow who needs to be in a mental institution! Or at the very least wearing a tinfoil hat! You! All! Have! No! Proof! And there isn't any because MY NAME ISN'T FUCKING SNAKE EYES!
>'-~...~-'
"I said a name that was different from who you said I was, didn't I?"
~Yes.~
"I just fucked myself, didn't I?"
'Aye.'
=You're bad at this.=
"IT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER GOT CAUGHT! I'M NEW TO THIS PART!"
>BOOK HIM, POM-O!
'Seriously?'
"I. Hate. Everything."
>>26346667
So close to devil quads.
so... how many threads before this stupid fucking reader-unfriendly speaker-indicator style is dropped?
>>26346825
Never? It's a script style design for back and forth sketch comedy. If we tried to go regular script format, then it would have too many lines on the side dictating who is who. If we tried to use that stupid anon format, it would come out looking ridiculous as there's very rarely a singular focus character, and it is more frequently a back and forth with very little description. Usually, if there are more than one character or there is a lot of action, we go to regular prose style. But first back and forth sketch comedy, all you need to know is who is talking, and what they are saying. Nine times out of ten, you don't even need description of where they are located. This also is a result of this website's horribly stupid word count, which only last for a very short bursts. The last word spend on description, the better in sketch comedy.
>>26346853
>are are more than one
More than TEN I meant, fuck brain.
That said, 10 is a little high. More like, 7.
>>26346853
it's fine for short exchanges where u can keep the legend in view, or really long ones where u eventually remember what is who... but fuck if it isn't annoying as all hell. sure sometimes u can figure out easily from speech patterns and context, but often not, so i gotta keep scrolling up (on the phone).
and i don't think
sb>won't we get in trouble?
sl>but it's cool!
ab>yer both idjits
takes up alot more room or makes a greater burden for the writer.
>>26346894
Burden no, but it does take up more room, and that room is very short to begin with. Even in just those three lines you posted right there, you are adding in 6more character count than would normally be. For just that short exchange alone. Now imagine that, on a four post story, or worse. You would be taking out a lot more of the 2,000 character count for no reason. I mean, the freaking DND posts would go insane, they are entirely dialogue and spaced out. If you cram them together like what you just did, reading it would be a mess especially if they ran over.
In addition to that, sad to say, but some people just don't like some characters. So this thing who is in this story at the very top left you just scroll past. If you did the same thing anyway and then also used your format, you would use up far too much of your limited character count on that for no reason.
For this website, the format works the best we found. The one you're suggesting was tried way back in thread four or five, with the 17 stories. People didn't like Reading the format, and it never got on. Sorry its an inconvenience, but it us having to work around a very limited character count without eating up multiple posts for which should be in 1 post story.
>>26346941
You're also not really getting into characters that you can't abbreviate into two letters without it getting confusing. Like, how could you condense chrysalis and Chitty in the same story into two letters? And if you add on just one more letter, you're also eating up more of the 2000 character post. When instead, you could just list them at the top and be done with it.
It's not a perfect system, it's just the one that works so far the best with 4chan stupid fucking post restrictions
>>26346448
Little by little, we learned.
>>26346941
in my example ONE more character per line actually. cause no closing quote mark. you're right about may need one or 2 more for some characters, but we're talking about an insignificant character increase in virtually all cases.
i wouldn't mind the current system if the same characters were always used for the same charactershueyes, that was REALLY patheticbut having them change on most instalments means i can't ever get used to an association.
will just have to agree to disagree.
cause it still drives me fucking nuts.
G'night thread
>>26347787
Night to you
>>26347787
morning anon
>>26346667
And it would have gotten away for it, it wasn't for that meddling roach.
So TV wise, how many eps do you think the Beach Filler Arc was?
I'm thinking maybe 15?
>>26348849
Depends on how much stuff could/would you cram in.
Standard 20min episodes?
I would say, take how fast you can read dialogue out loud of all the arc combined, multiply it by two for necessary transitions, and divide by 20 min per episode.
If someone can provide wordcount and average words-per-minute out loud reading/talking speed, we can actually calculate this.About 10 or less I think
>>26348924
Ok, so apparently speech speed is about 100 wpm.
Anyone care enough to check word-count?
>>26348924
Then we'd also have to consider 'actions' too, and how the animation itself was handled.I'd kill to see that entire prank war animated in an over-the-top way like OPM or something.
Maaaay wanna be careful next time we use the phrase "burtal honesty" in one of AJ's big stories
>>26348967
To be fair, the second under brutal honesty is mostly true as a good majority of the cast was stupid as fuck in the beginning. And even now.
>>26348965
>Actions
The way I see it, its faster to show than to narrate.
The time gained from that could be spent on transitions, cinematics etc.
> how the animation itself was handled
The way I see it, imagine it as a bunch of short moments recorded by a amateur camera, with half-a-second of static in between. Ultimate 'show, don't tell'.
>>26348849
A little bit longer than the Gala for sure, but not 15.
>Guard

>...So the princesses are coming back, right?
"Probably."
>I mean, they wouldn't just run off and leave us, right?
"Probably not."

>So is there a reason she's been crying on her side for a while now?
"Probably something stupid."
>Lyra! I'm supposed to be the slightly jerkish one!
"...Slightly? You scoffed at the freaking Element of Harmony for not being popular."
>You can't prove that was me and not one of the six or so me's running around! YOU'VE SEEN THEM!
"I have not."
>They're real, I tell you! They're real!
"Just tell me what she's crying about."
>Fine... Berry? What's wrong?
'W-why is the rum gone... why is the rum gone?'

"You were saying?"
>Even a broken clock is a bitch two times a day.
>>26348967
I notice you said careful, not don't, and I applaud that.
>Assumes stupidity of the recipient.
That comes up way more than it should.
LAST THREAD RECAP, THE BEACH IS HOT EDITION!
>Suckerpunch asks for more time off... while on vaction..
>42 and Spike engage in diversionary tactic, Spike wins.... kinda?
>Fleur goes to check on Fancy, finds him curled up under his desk after getting a first hoof account of all of Equestria's ills.
>They then proceed to go mess around with everything, because of course. It also turns out that when Fancy puts a helmet on his head, Fluer can't recognize him, prompting Fancy to wonder about cloning.
>The prank war gets crazier, with both sides going back and forth, but mostly managing to hurt themselves. Chrysalis especially.
>Twilight needs to make sorry cake for Shiny.
>Cadence, tired and drained due to lack of food, thinks she finished her paperwork, and goes out to celebrate.
>Octavia's and Chitania's battle still has not ended, with so much time passed both are on the edge. When Chitania makes Octy trip up thanks to calling SN food, Chitania is the winner!
>And then Octavia smashed her cello into Chitty's head.
>Chitty then begins chasing Octavia, and nobody can stop her.
>Snake Eyes prepares to leave, thinking that 32 is closing in, it turns out 32 really was just being friendly, and he stops him on his way out. SN's is almost in the clear, until Reggie recognizes him.
>Then 32 gets very, very mad.
>Then begins one wild ass chase, which brings in Daw, 77, Pommel and Sunset as they go after Snake Eyes as he goes all over Puerto Burro and eventually ends up in the water.
>Eventually, after an... odd interlude when Rat and Crew arrive and Lavan's magic wears off, causing them to fall on 32's head before he tosses them to Canterlot, only to have them tossed back, Snake Eyes is caught!... And he is playing the lying game to try to get out of this.
>29 is relaxing on the boat eventually with the others, having put aside his fear. When he asks for one of then to oil him up so he tans right, and don't ask why he's tanning chitin, Trixie steps up to the plate!
1/4Fucking4
>>26349926
>Long story short, he ends up in the water. Longer story short, there's a bunch of ghost children down there. Longest story short, he goes full cold determination, drives the boat to the shore at reckless speeds and nearly crashes when he arrives, and then disguises himself as a random pony, and tells the other three to stay put.
>They don't.
>Lucky spots 29 going crazy and 32 trying to burn down the ocean, flips a bit, ends up going off to deal with the 29 thing and takes Quicksilver, SG and Suckerpunch with him.
>Mane-Iac and Fluttershy want to hang out.
>Cadence collapses looking for food.
>Fuzzy and the Buzz get a weird call
>Screwloose makes it to the Gunclub room, recognizes Blueblood's gun... somehow.
>SA senses Cadence needs him and floats off. Chrysalis has no idea what just happened.
>88 finally can go home! But learns she can't take any mini-changelings with her, they can't leave the valley. She promises to return, and her and lavan leave.
>And then said valley is stumbled upon by none other than... Diamond and Party Favor... from Glimmers village. Huh.
>SA comes across the office, and Cadence's work. To his dismay, he finds that without food, Cadence became a little... off the longer she worked. To the point where she was drawing kitties at the end. Yes, Kitties.
>PJ, who had been hiding until now, notices Jetset having trouble down below, and goes off to say hi.
>Cadence dreams everyone is telling her she did a good job.
>The CMC's train is out of control because Vekir knocked out the conductor, and about to crash at a fork in the road. While Winona wants to do a completely improbable and stupid move to escape, instead Sweetie offers they just let the train run out of steam and not add any more to it. They go with option B, and end up somewhere they don't recognize.
>Applejack, looking for a snack, stumbles across Cadence knocked out. While she just wants to get her food and go, she accidentally wakes Cadence up.
2/4
>>26349937
>Trapped, her and Cadence begin to talk, and soon they're having a heart to heart about their failings as Princesses. Cadence on her paperwork front, and Applejack on her magic front. They both wonder why the other took to what they were lacking so readily, and wonder if maybe they just can't improve on them.
>Even so, after revealing that for once she doesn't have an answer to it, Applejack says that regardless, she can't give up learning. Not because she needs to or it's vital, but because all her friends think she can, and she doesn't want to let them down. She leaves after telling Cadence she believes in her too, and Cadence has to decide if she wants to keep trying.
>She does, when she goes back to the office. Shining soon finds her, and he's not going anywhere.
>Twilight and Spike try to get 42 drunk, it backfires.
>Flash and Fizzle are still waiting, talks get... weird.
>BUT FOR THE MAIN EVENT!
>Pinkie get crazy in her search for the bomb. Really, really crazy.
>But soon, crazy pays off, and she stumbles across... something.
>Despite her knowing it's crazy, she decides to handle it herself.
>Long story short, she could not handle it herself.
>Out of fucking nowhere, a giant spider-crab the size of a building attacks the Villa and everyone there, and he's carrying Pinkie Pie!
>The crab can talk too, and summons the various denizens of the ocean to rise up and take the surface world.
>Thus, the battle is on! A war wages between the main seven sans Pinkie and Fluttershy with every one of the CE crew sand SA and Cadence, and the creatures of the ocean... except Pinchy, he decided to stuck with Two, because wibbles.
>It's a total curbstomp for the ocean army, who can't even scratch the protagonists and their various teamup moves.
>All the while, Pinkie gets a little sad this means they're probably gonna go home. But a pep talk from Two eventually gets her out of her funk.
3/4
>>26349943
>The crab's plans falling apart makes him go drastic. We're talking whalebombs and sand sharks drastic.
>Neither of these work.
>So the crab threatens Pinkie, who manages to hit him in the eye with hot butter thanks to cute changeling delivery service, and is free.
>Then, he decides he's going to detonate the bomb, which might work!
>BOOM! CENTITRAIN OUTTA NOWHERE!
>Kaiju battle goes on, with Applejack joining into the fray at one point, and the crab is defeated when Centitrain remembers that Electric Types are super effective against Water Types.
>Broken and defeated, the crab shuffles off into the water... but he has one last trick up it's Pincer!
>It summons a giant tsunami that will rain devastation upon the land! Destroy everything! Wreck the coast for generations to come! He will-
>"That's enough"
>And now it's all gone.
>The answers why everything, bodies included, all vanished become pretty apparent when they all spot Fluttershy down at the shore, and sure enough, it turns out it was Discord! Just causing a little bit of chaos. Because he does that.
>Still, it looks like everything's fine... until they notice the bomb is active. And Discord can't poof it away because Fluttershy overdid turning off his powers.
>Everyone panics, and after a failed attempt where she makes the bomb BIGGER, Flutteshy sends the bomb off!
>Toooo Pinkie's Aunt's old hatch, where it blows up the rum... and everything. And then launches the shack into the villa, which it destroyed.
>Finally, they get around to asking Centitrain why it showed up, and she spits a note in AJ's face.
>It turns out.. it's time to go home, and everyone is sad. They have to leave...
>But mayyyybe after one last wild party.
>The beach arc... is over.

He's actually brought it up he isn't sure, as its a recap of the storyline of that thread, and OOCO can happen anywhere, and isn't nessecarily taking place right there. The only excepting is in continuous storylines like the Spike one or 7s.

>>26350992
When that happens I try to put them in order in the recap in the place where they happened, the only issue arises if I skim over it a little too fast because most OOCO's could have happened that thread or 100 threads ago, like the "Got a question" ones. Another issue is if the timeline is really vague, like that one drowning story last thread, which I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be connected to the drowning story from three threads ago, or if it's supposed to be happening just before the chaos hit. Due to it's referencing of that event, it gets vague, so I leave it up to the writer to come forwards and say "That actually happened ____" to clarify.

Her agents had already informed her that the 'rulers' had been sent for, sure to be back before the setting of this sun. Her time spent idle would pay off, at last.
With a clop of her hoof, a silent set of hoofsteps entered into her private room, never seen, no matter how close they would come. Waiting on her, and her words, as they should.
>Do tell me what they found.
"You're sure you don't want to show up yourself? It'll look suspicious."

Clearly uncertain, not knowing what that means, yet too loyal to ever say a word.

The room was immaculate, pristine, the very picture of what it had been before, down to the letter, and he meant that very much literally. Every single scrap of paper was exactly as he found it, not an inch off from where it had been during his 'investigation'. Why, if any saw it, they would wonder if he had touched anything at all.
Which, of course, was the whole point.
>Well, no worries! I've certainly gotten everything I need.
"You sure?"
His every step was light as he left the office, practically floating on air, much as a pegasus would. But the earth pony needed no wings to fly, he was quite alright as he was.
>Indeed! I've gotten everything I need.
Happy, even as he tossed a substantial bag of bits over his shoulder, to a waiting set of hooves that eagerly caught it.
>You know what to tell them, don't you?
"Yeah. I've got it."
>Good good, pleasure doing business with you, ma'am! Best get back, don't want to look like you're lagging behind.
"No, sure don't..."
He smiled, and he skipped, all the way out to the door.
>Oh, and do give the other guard my regards, I'm quite appreciative of all of your work!
He didn't need to look back to know the other pony had winced. Nor did he need to look back to know that, all the same, she stuffed the massive back of bits into her armor to hide it without hesitation. He was already lost in his own little world.

Finally caught up on last thread, is the 29 thing getting cut off? Can't tell with the omakes if that was the author or not.
>>26353128
Meh, if we want to shuffle Pommel and co home, we can just leave the guard out of it. That was the original intention, but my fault for not getting it out faster. But hey, that's why I mostly only write 29 anyway, he's disconnected enough from the main plot I can do my own thing and not hold up the overarching story.
Wasn't my intention, but if we want Lucky and his merry band off with Pommel headed back to Canty town, no skin off my nose, just have them lose him and turn around. Storyline can proceed all the same, just tweaked so sans guard.
>>26353232
Awww, that would be a little sad. Was a little interested in seeing the shlub guards get a moment.
>>26353355
well, someone got scared this would be partyland the second, so we're packing up before we could have fun with the side characters who got on their journey late
>>26353379
To be fair, that's a legit concern that we'd get too caught up in the side numbers again.
That is one of the causes that made PL bloat so much.
>>26353431
yeah, but to just cut shit off and leave shit hangingLIKE A CERTAIN CREW OF A CERTAIN BOATfeels wrong, don't you agree?
>>26353431
And one of the reasons the timeline slowed so much.
>>26353448
I dunno, at the very least right now is a good time so that the side-guard CAN be cut out and not be left hanging, as they hadn't even met with 29 yet. 29's storyline can apparently continue just fine, and he's right, 29 doesn't really have a big impact on anyone else, he can have his fun and not really affect stuff.
Likewise, we don't HAVE to leave the crew hanging, we can just... like, have them and Pom talk if they want, they're right there, the important thing was catching Snake Eyes, who is caught.
I dunno, sucks that Quicksilver and SG and LS can't get their moment, but between that and holding up the storyline for them or stretching out a beach episode for them, I don't see it as worth it.

To be fair we haven't actually shown them as INcompetent in... wow, fucklong time. Even against Chitty, they proved they could be competent, though admittedly not supereffective.

...Oh no! Instead of montages where the guard are instant better, STORY HAPPENED, and Pommel had to face a new problem with DT that he had to figure out, Pommel takes the guard in to train and everything goes crazy and fun, 41 and SP mention doing a little training gig and instead we get a massive fucking brawl in the middle of the hallway filled with impossible odds and a damn giant monster attack, and Daw sets up something that we can expand upon but didn't right then because a storyline that's older than Daw and Pommel combined finally came to a head!
If you were hoping to make this look like the guard aren't doing anything interesting then wow did that backfire.
I mean, fuck, you just listed events that had them trapped in a VR reality against a god taking over a machine, fighting the threat that stomped Canterlot and getting caught up in a powerstuggle, and even an actual character building moment in there too. And all through it, the guard actually improve, because you get better when you fight giant monsters apparently.
Kinda shot yourself in the foot there.
>>26354227
I guess that's true, we've proven pretty definitively that when we just try to instant fix something the story comes out just fucking awful and boring.
I mean, one of these stories was "41 does changeling stuff" and instead we had the entire guard literally fight CHITANIA instead, and it turns out it's all one great big plot from the Wonderbolts against Dash filled with political intrigue. That just plain makes a more interesting story.
Even the only one of those that didn't have any action wasn't a way to keep the guard down, it was that seeing Pommel clash with DT was way too interesting to gloss over.
Huh. We actually have been doing way better than I thought we were with the guard, and they're right, the guard never slipped back into incompetence, we just had them fight over the top threats to get them there instead of just training. And we didn't even make them super badass ultramarine wankers to do it.
Kudos, /pa/, you did it so well i didn't even notice.
>Stalliongrad soldier

>Do we... report this?
The moment the two thickly dressed, well wrapped earth ponies looked to each other, they shuddered, and it had nothing to do with the cold.
Before them was the third of their comrades to be found outside of the hanger, face down in the dirt, only their strong fur coats staying on keeping them from becoming a victim of the icy wind of Stalliongrad. Upon his face, a smile. Upon his breath, something very, very strong, and alcoholic.
"He will be punished quite severely for drinking on job, comrade."
>Da, but he is third one. This cannot be good, they will get found eventually, and they will blame us for not stopping in name of greatest country, Stalliongrad.
"Suspicious, he is not heavy drinker."
>The cold gets to the best of us, comrade, this makes us feel warm.
"Da, da..."
>...You know, if we take them in ourselves, we will get reward.
"Take them in to commander?"
>Or take them back in and hide them. Big debt, no?
"Ahhh, big debt indeed. But pay for bringing in slackers is handsome."
>Well, there are three...
They smiled again. Had the one before them been awake, he would have been the one shuddering.
>Come come, comrade, we will bring you to place nice and warm...
Soon, there was a single trail in the snow, and even that was quickly covered by the falling ice. There was no sign any had ever been there, and no one around to witness it.
Nor anyone around to witness when a shape dropped down.
A shape that very much resembled the pony that had just been dragged away.

>>26354292
It's that /pa/ magic, man. Gotta love it.
>>26354292
It's obviously not intentional, we just get wrapped up in concurrent storylines.
The DT one played in to her trying to show up AJ because of the Fillydelphia fallout which meant she had no chance of taking over the guard. The Wonderbolt one was a long result of Spitfire's treatment, and the Red VR thing was the result of Pommel becoming Captain and his past coming back to haunt him.
It's about the story, man. That the guard markably improved is just because story which is how it should be.

>we just had them fight over the top threats to get them there instead of just training. And we didn't even make them super badass ultramarine wankers to do it.
I do kinda wish we had them fight someone their own weight class, though. It was nice seeing Pommel get to be useful against Snake Eyes. Impossible fights are interesting, but need some variety.
>>26355054

I agree, 29 anon. It's not like Canterlot needs Quicksilver so desperate that they can't be without him for a bit, just have Pompom comically leave them behind or something and keep on keeping on.

Good stories? Yes. But guess what, none of it means that the guard doesn't fucking suck and them eeeeever actually showing true competence is a pipedream as longas other, better characters are around to do the work that this bunch of douchebags and losers just aren't cut out for (a.k.a anything other than standing around looking ridiculous).
>>26355706
>Bitch and AJ ain't resolved shit which was the crux of DT fucking off trying to give the guards outside h
Which hurts the guard... how? That just means DT's subplot is unresolved, but not the one with the guard, which was resolved when she talked to Pommel.
>They cowered in a fucking building until Twi saved their asses.
No, they eventually did fight, and then just didn't let Red escape. In the simulator is different.
>They got their asses whipped until Pommel figured out a plan that required the changelings to help...and STILL failed.
Nope. They didn't win, but they contain Chitania, didn't run away from her this time, and actually managed to hold her still for a second, showing growth in characters(they didn't flee), growth in competence(they worked together with each other just fine, and when Pommel told them to they banded together just fine with the changelings) and finally growth as individuals when they left on good terms with the changelings, ending 70+ threads worth of strife between the two, strife that has remained dead.
Oh, and then, you know, they got together and all personally stopped the robots that uprose a second later, and they did it without anyone getting hurt.
>Stand around being awkward while Sunset and Pommel have to deal with Bugzilla
Actually, they were busy crowd controlling and holding back the mob, which they did. Remember that? Remember how, even when Ponyville lost it's shit, they got together and made sure nobody got hurt, and even held their ground when Chitania was stomping through? All the while, Pommel and Sunset figured out how to stall said Bugzilla, despite simply not having the ability to stop her?
Face it, they've been showing competence and handling situations faaaarr beyond what they could reasonably handle and doing it far better than ever before, and they're only getting better each time.
Cause that's what happens when you're in good stories, you grow. And that's exactly what they did.
>Guard

The guard, a fine specimen among the new crop of Canterlot's defenders stopped in his tracks.

Much like them, much like anyone would be, he wasn't sure what to think right now. His wife was happy, that was usually all it took for him to be happy. He was easy to please like that.
It was more what she said, what she implied perhaps accidentally with her words, that worried him.
>Yes.
"But... you didn't get to spend any time with us."
The wall of happiness that had been thrown up cracked. It was not a large crack, it was not enough to shatter her smile, but it was there.
>I know... but... but...
She shook, trying to think with every brain cell in her head, trying her best to use her extended knowledge of everything social to put it into words.
>But she'll understand, when she's older. And maybe she'll be...
It took a second for it to sink in, a second for it to 'click' in his brain. When it did, he finally smiled.
"She'll be proud of you."
That was all that needed to be said.
>...You think we can get our own rooms on the trainride back?
And that was all that needed to be said before the stallion was ready to toss every bit in the Empire for a train that had a soundproofed room.
This was now his favorite vacation.

Ha ha!
It's actually funny because most animes have some sorta freaky complicated genetic reason like they're elves/dragons/vampires/aliens or magic reason like they're gods or something, but Arana?
Nope! She's just stunted both physically and mentally because she got crammed in a cave as a little kid and didn't get out till way later. That's it. She's just short because while the creatures loved her they couldn't feed her enough, and she acts like a kid because that's when her contact with the outside world essentially stopped.

Then her pursuer attempted to stop.
Then, mid turn, the celloist's hoof stuck out at exaaaactly the wrong angle.
Then, next thing anyone knew, Chitania was tumbling... tumbling... tumbling...

>>26363140
Now I am intrigued and slightly apprehensive... what were the reasons and why aren't I aware?
>>26363166
REASONS!!!One of which was... puppy breath.
>>26363166
Because a Diamond Dog puppy isn't like a normal puppy and it's a sapient creature that you really couldn't/shouldn't treat as a pet?
>>26363195

>...So this is worrying, right? This should be worrying us? It's not just me, is pretty much what I want to hear right now.
"It is not just you. This is very true."
'Trixie admits to only a slight discomfort and nothing more as she is sure that whatever this is she could have done it better.'
>Oh, okay...
Ever so slightly, she nudged the unconcious pony on the ground, trying her very best not to focus on the 'interesting' look of what appeared to be an otherwise unassuming maintenance shack, that only became more assuming when one looked closely, and noticed the real interesting feature. Notably, the cavern that seemed to have been hidden away mere seconds ago.
'What are the odds this is like... lizard pony conspiracy or something?'
>HEY!
'Trixie said Lizard Ponies! Lizard ponies taking over brains and replacing governement officials, she never once brought up... you know now that this has been said out loud there is a-'
SMACK!
'Trixie is just saying!'

'HEY NOW!'

You're going to look into that wibbling face and tell her that her 'buddy' isn't actually her buddy, but chaos? And you're going to do it within eyesight of Shining Armor."
>... You know, I think I'll just leave him big.
"And thus, at least one of us manages not to get on his 'maybe reconsider running into a fire to save' list."
>...Is that an actual list, or-
"I swear to faust I have seen it."
>Ah.
>>26364895
I literally have zero doubts that's a real list.
>>26364853
All of them are pretty damn interesting in their own way. Thank god Zecora didn't end up, well... like pre-29 I guess. Nobody wanted to even touch her then because of how hard she is to write.

"...it can't be done."
>Blunt honesty, not a complete worm about it, I like that. Explain.
"Well if our findings are correct, the only ways such an infusion could be implemented would be a violation of every right a sentient being should have and would probably be considered torture by most governments."
>Pal, have you even met me?
"...it'd also render the subject almost entirely useless to us in the field."
>Should have lead off with that. Damn, had my heart set on that one.
"But uhm...there is some good news..."
>Yes?
"We may have an alternative if you'd be willing to cut funding to that branch of Infusions Research and redirect it."
>Where, exactly?
"To robotics, we recently came to an epiphany regarding covert operations that I think you might like."
>Go on.
"Well...I'm going to be honest with you. What sounds better? The ability to morph into a different form on command and possibly be found out if not briefed on the details of any single person you may come across or having an operative that is an exact one-to-one replica of a person, capable of impersonating that person perfectly?"
>Well, the first one has the edge in versatility, but it sounds like you've got your little heart set on the second. Give me the papers and you can start work on...what's its name?

>>26370955
Wait, they got taken down? I thought they were the one that abducted Trender in the first place...
>>26370970

Yeah, I'm going mostly off memory for the 10 thing, since he had Trender get abducted and just left that plot hanging for like a year, but I have no goddamn idea about the politics, I'm just using it for a spy thriller setpeice.
I don't know who's who or where's what, I'm just rolling with it to get Trender out so we can close that handing plot thread.
>>26371039
Found him out what?
He was throwing his support behind them because he got sweet talked by Antlers/Fawntaine.
>>26371048
I don't know what's happened there since I left, but when I left it, it was like this:
>Bullsheviks got bots, pissed off Fawntaine by using them to massacre supporters of the Hooviets
>Hooviets receive infusions and even the playing field
>Pennydrop was going to screw over the Bullsheviks and hand Stalliongrad over to the Hooviets and Josef Stallion
>>26371082
Nobody has touched it since you left it off other than to have 10 go out to get him back, so whatever you did with it, that's what's happened, and nothing else.
So I guess Trender is with the Hooviets, specifically?
>>26371103
I will admit, it's kind of funnier and in character for the country if they just forgot their number one fan was rotting in a gulag while they reap the rewards of power.
>Chitania
"Octavia"
'??'
~~~
How long had they been running?
How many minutes, maybe hours, had she chased the smaller pony so far and so quickly that none had any chance to catch up? How long had it taken, how long had it been?
The fire in the earth pony's legs said years, the panic in her head said second.
She decided to split the difference and just say 'exactly too long' or, since she had not been caught yet, 'not long enough'.
>GRAAGGHHHHH!
"I SAID I WAS SORRY!"
>GRAAAAGGHHHH!
"...I THINK! I'M PRETTY SURE I SAID THAT!"
>GRRRRRAAGGHHHH!
"ALL THE SAME I-"
'OH FOR THE LOVE OF LOVE!'
Octavia had never seen a mountain stop it's landslide.
She had never seen a tsunami freeze in place.
She had never been there as an earthquake was locked in time.
That said, she couldn't imagine it looked much different than what she saw before her.
'WHY!? WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN!?'
The force of nature, the unstoppable being of power she could only dream of, stalled in place, and unmoving. Locked like a rampaging elephant who had seen a mouse, when a much smaller being strolled right up to her without any fear.
'Why, mom!?'
A fear that she lacked, yet inspired.
>She-
'No, you know what, I don't care! Not here, okay!? I don't care why you're flying off the handle AGAIN, just not here where they actually like us, or at least tolerate us!'
Surreal was the only word to come even close to describing it. The only way she could possibly put to a single word just what it looked like when the Titan's brow furrowed, and she did not say a word as the minuscule changeling before her continued to rant.
"Should... should I-"
'SHUT UP!'
She did not argue, nor move, as the changeling returned back to the far larger one.
1/2
>>26371168
'I've had it, okay?! I've had it! Oh, I get it, you're the big bad Titan and you're so powerful and you can do whatever you want because if anyone tries to stop you, you can just punch them and they don't anymore, but you know what? Some of us actually have to live with that! Some of us actually have to live with the problems of them being afraid of us, and I've had it! If you so much as-'
>Enough.
It made so much more sense when the normal changeling's mouth snapped shut, seemed perfectly logical that she would go still in the face of the Queen's harsh words, but somehow, it managed to seem every bit as ludicrous to behold.
When the Queen's head lowered, going far too close to the other, she felt the unease roll off of her in waves.
>... I am happy that you are alive, I am sorry I hit you, and I want to make up for the time I lost... but do not talk to me like that.
Her neck tensed, the ghost of a twitch there, but it did not move.
'Just... just go.'
>...Fine. We will discuss this later.
With a grunt, she turned around, the chase seemingly forgotten, the battle seemingly over. She simply turned her back on the changeling, and walked off with loud, thunderous steps.
It was over. So quickly Octavia could scarcely believe it, it was over.
"...Thanks-"
'Shut up.'
She very much did that. At least, until the silence got to her.
"Um... sorry for what happened with your mother?"
'Don't be... she can be a real bitch sometimes.'
She too joined the Titan in meandering off, the conversation seemingly over with that alone. Wandering in the opposite direction with nothing but a slight shake in her step, and a brow scrunched together in thought. Leaving the cellist alone with nothing but the sounds of deserted streets, and the gentle wind.
"...I'm counting that as a win."

Aight 13
You moved up my list quite a few notches there.
Miffed it took someone that clost to Tittania to call her out on her.... everything
But hey
We finally got somewhere
>>26371198
Nah, Anon, we'd have to bring 41 in if it was Titania.
And that conversation would be far different.
>Uh, mom? Mind NOT destroying the city?
>Mind actually giving me a goddamn grandkid, you glass jawed shit?
>>26371273
Would she want a grandchild, or would she be happier that she was the last badass of her line?
Her line ending on 41 seems like it would give her some serious cred.
>>26371312
>41
>Badass
>In aaaaaany sense of the word.
Nah, she'd want a grandkid in hopes the badass skipped a generation.
>>26371411
That's what I mean, TITANIA would be the last badass, and then the line just kinda ends on 41.
She never has to worry about someone surpassing her!
Wew lads I make one spelling mistake and you take it all the wrong, derailing way

>Alright, so... we're lost.
"You think?"
Only the chirp of the creatures in the pitch black, barren woods answered her.
"Huh... so what you're saying it, maybe we shouldn't have left the train?"
>We wouldn't have, if SOMEONE didn't volunteer us!
'Rainbow Dash wouldn't have just sat on a train!'
>That's cause Rainbow Dash can FLY!
'...what...'
"OHHHHHH! NO YOU DID NOT!"
>Er... whoops?
'IT'S ON NOW!'
She dove, tackling her friend into the brush, limbs flying in ways only a filly was capable of.
"Stop fighting! You're scaring Winona!"
~Actually, I'm waiting for the orange one to show her back. MY APPLE SHALL TASTE YOUR BLOOD!~
"See!?"
~Do not pretend you can understand my clever words-SQUIRREL! FUCK YOU SQUIRREL YOU GET OUT OF HERE WE DON'T NEED YOUR KIND!~
{Um, companions of Vekir? Something has been found.}
"What did you steal this time?"
{VEKIR DOES NOT STEAL!}
"..."
{HRMPH! Vekir FOUND this picture, thank you! It was stuck to tree, so free!}
"Huh... Hey, girls? What do you think it means when it says 'She'll find you'?"
'IT MEANS APPLEBLOOM IS GOING TO BE TASTING MY HOOF FOR A YEAR!'
>Ya'll ain't got nothin' on me! We fight country style- DON'T PULL MAH RIBBON!
'MY EYE!'
"It's probably nothing."
{Oh, good, Vekir was worried about pony in suit. YOU HEAR!? Vekir did not steal, it is nothing!}
"...Who the heck are you talking to?"
{Pony over there, of course! One wearing suit... not Vekir's suit.}
"There's nothing... huh."
She had to squint, but just barely, she could make out the shape of a pony in the brush. One wearing a very nice suit.
"What do you know... I'm gonna go check it out!"
{Vekir thinks that's a good idea. Do small ponies disagree?}
'RAINBOW BOMB!'
>THAT NAME IS STU-OOF!
{Other ponies agree- oh... nevermind.}
She was already gone.
{...This will end well! Agree, fuzzy one?}
~Sooon... sooonn..~
{She agrees.}
'Wait, is what we're doing stupid-'
~TASTE MY BLADE!~
>WINONA NO!
>>26371774
Whelp, enjoy the tentacles, SB.

I love Winona in this, I really do. She's like a trigger happy nutjob, but sword.
>>26372188
I love the little dog moments that get slipped in there.
>>26372029
You say that like she won't
>>26371180
This is like a kid intervening on their drunk mom.
>I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT RAGEAHOL!
>>26372750
>Hello, my name is Chitania, and I like to get angry and smash stuff.
"Excellent work, Chitania! We're really breaking down barriers here! Now, what do you think you should do to change that?"
>...Change it? The fuck are you talking about? I was just saying it so you all knew why you should stop trying to talk to me. Smashing stuff is awesome!
"...We have some work ahead of us..."

>WAIT A MINUTE!
"GAH! WHAT!?"
>Where's our bags!? I don't see them on Centitrain!
"Oh, uh... huh."
>Well!?
"...What do you think she did with them?"
>Where could they have gone!? Some of those dresses costs hundreds to produce!
"Hmmm..."
~~
{Do you ever stop to wonder who's bags those were on the ground?}
(Does thou ever stop to wonder why thou art not helping me get this dress around thine swine?)
{No?}
(Well, wonder some more! Because mine shall dance better than yours!)
{Not a chance! My piggy can dance a million times better than your piggy!}
(WE SHALL SEEE!)

I suppose there are worse things to do, but damn 10 is scary.
>>26371507
A FUN derailing way.
>>26373411
Agreed, 10 is clearly best infiltrator. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends with 10 as new ruler of Stalliongrad (not likely with the long con of Fawntine being there but still).

The yellow stallion moseyed on in to the sheriff's office, a twinkle in his eye and a letter in his hoof.
>Hey, Sheriff? We gots us a letter askin' how the investigation into the possible corruption of changelings to this here governmental body is goin'
The dusty pony did little more that cock an eyebrow and lean ever so slightly back in his chair.
"Why, that there is right confusin', ain't it partner?"
>Why's that?
Before a single word could be said in response, red hot chains lashed their way into the room, carrying with them three screaming, unsightly looking ponies before depositing them right in the jail cell that had been open seemingly in wait.
'Wot wot, cheeiro! That fire fellow seemed to have flown right past, govna!'
The changeling in the doorway smiled, adjusted his mustache, and ran off a second later.
"On the matter of yer' inquriy, far as Ah' can tell, ain't no changelings around here, right partner?"
Watching the bandits squirm in their cell brought a smile to the yellow ponies face.
>Heh... guess so.
>>26374941
>Pick one on all of those
Uh... might want to at the very least change it so we can pick multiple.
What, I'm supposed to pick between Got a Question, Shiny/Celly GOAT moments and motherfucking DnD? Like I only come for one of those?
Come on.
>>26375032
I actually meant that to be multiple, whoops.
>>26375040
Oh, good. I was about to agree with him, please redo that for multiples. No fucking way could I choose with some of these.
>>26374941
Fixed Number 1
http://strawpoll.me/6749306
The number 2 and 4 I did intend as pick 1 so I am keeping it that way, apologies.
>>26375139
>The number 2 and 4 I did intend as pick 1 so I am keeping it that way, apologies.
...I'm supposed to pick exactly one character in an ensemble cast I come here to see?
Kind of a flawed concept, as if I like "Got a Question" stories, I like AJ and Celestia. If you take one out then it's not as funny. Likewise if I like the CE crew I'm probably a fan of how funny Shiny and Chrysalis or Celly are together, but alone Shiny is just a straight man, why pick him? He's not funny alone.
I'm just gonna skip that question, thanks.
>>26375214
It was more along the lines of an absolute favorite instead of who works well together. But I see your reasoning. If you have anyone specifically important I should also separate to redo this please do go ahead. I don't mean to be too alienating when I want responses. Mind that I have only 30 spaces and the other 18 choices are staying
>>26375139
>http://strawpoll.me/6749213
Huh. You know, you actually have got me thinking about these, and I'm surprised at one, how fucking big this list is and two, how often going down it I was like "Yep. Yep. Love that, love that one, loooove that one, not a fan of that one though. Ooof, do NOT like that one, but YOU! You I love, come give daddy some sugar."
This place has AMAZING variety...
>>26375282
Alright I gave you the same amount of time I took to respond.
poll 4 with multiple choice allowed
http://strawpoll.me/6749495
Thank you all for your participation and patience
>>26375398
Nooowww I like it.
That one actually made me wonder what characters work in general, who I get excited to see and who I'm not so hot on when I see their name at the top of a story. This? I can work with this, because I also get to think who proved they can work together, and who's just situational.
>>26374941
Thread 41-50 was Cordy, right? That's when I got on, just curious.
>All those ones at the bottom
Where they belong~
>>26375499
Yes.
Also, I'm finding it funny that currently across the board AJ/Chrysalis/Shiny/Celestia are the most popular characters, with ones like Chitania taking some pretty surprising leads.
>>26375499
thread 48-53 is Cordy proper.
>>26374941
I don't want to make a change this far in so I won't ask you to redo it, but man I wish that "No sex or anon" one had been separate, I love that there's no anon but I wouldn't mind if /pa/ got a little more lewd.
Also holy shit so much time...
>>26375605
It was a package deal because early thread that was a selling point. We didn't get our first thread related clop until the mid 80's and got the last of our handful in the Afterdark pastebin (which is there for people to write clop) right around the end of the DnD arc.
>>26375605
>Also holy shit so much time...
At least you know how long it's been, I legit do not remember when I started reading this shit. Have no idea which arc you guys were on or when.
>>26375539
There's something special about seeing "Discussion" at the top...
>>26375398
>Spike that low
Whelp, looks like we gotta get a new love interest.
SHINY! We're stealing Chrysalis!... Now, don't be greedy, you got like two other changelings already, share! Don't you be giving lip or we're stealing Celestia and one of the lings too! Don't think we won't. What, you think all that development and heartwarming stories and major events are going to even slow us down? TRY US MOTHERFUCKER
>>26375786
And if he *really* pushes us, we're stealing Cadence. Oh yeah, we'll go there. Flurry Heart will be calling AJ daddy.
And so will Cadence.
...Dear god I hope nobody is taking this seriously.
>>26375860
And here I was writing a SpikexChrysalisx18 threeway, darn.
>>26375900
Boy that better have been AJXChrysalisX18 threeway, we don't take to kindly to you folk who think AJ isn't ending this thread with everything that moves in her harem. Reckon a folk like that would find this place is pretty...accident prone.Be a damn shame if somethin' happened to those fingers.
