  1. Mid looked suprised, but not shocked, clearly she knew what this meant "You've only been here a day and you've already spoken to Storm... he must have a lot of faith in you... he used to speak to me and Rad... but... Rad's gone, and I've not heard from him since before we left... I think that since I failed he's given up on me and moved on..." She paused "If storm trusts you... I'll tell you..." she paused a moment to gather he thoughts "Scootaloo is a Fallen - The precursors who fell to this world back in ancient times, their command of technology is so far beyond even what we can comprehend now. They had technology that does not rely on lay, they could travel between stars... they could punch holes in the universe itself... and scootaloo has access to all of that technology... if its small, she has it, if its large she has the schematics of it... and I know she has a slip drive that can punch holes in dimensions and the accompanying shield to protect her from the void... she is the most likely one to have survived, though given she had no time to prepare, I dont know what her odds were... now that I'm thinking about her specifically... probably high... but like I said, despite my mate being a fallen, I have no idea how their technology worked, or even where to find any of it... the only ones left that know anything are Luna - because she and Nova were close and I'm sure she managed to weasel some secrets out of him... and Scootaloo herself, because she's the last of the Fallen"
  2. Mid sighed "Officially the ice queen is working exclusively with celestia... but the truth is she's working to undermine her at every step, If word got back to Celestia that the ice queen was working with Luna and Storm... Celestia might get suspicious and shut her out... and it would be my fault... I already damaged our relationship enough by losing her hat, this would probably end it... along with any hopes of defeating celestia without an all-out war... "...there's one more thing... well... two more things... but I dont know if I can trust you yet..." she said with a sigh "...as important as the ice-queen revelation were... these last two facts are even more dangerous..." she sighed "...but I will say this... if anypony else were more likely to survive... it would be Scootaloo... she has means beyond anything that I or the Ice Queen possess... but the only pony who'd have any hope of finding out where she is... he's probably dead...my mate, Nova" a few tears leaked from mid's eyes again, but she forced the sadness down. Whether she was just trying to put on a brave face and pretend or whether she was really trying to convince herself that nova and the others were still alive was unclear.
  3. Midnight hesitated but finally spoke "There were three other foals... well, I say foals, but one was several hundred years old --- apparently reincarnated---... they were actually demon-ponies, raised from hell and bound by old law to Scootaloo to be her friends, its a long story... but their demonic power might have thrown things off" she paused again "more importantly..." she hesitated, clearly this was an important part "The last member of the team..." she was really fighting herself, you could see the strain in her face as she tried to decide the right thing to do "...Was the Ice Queen!" she took a deep breath or two, calming herself down now "Yes, I said the Ice Queen. We kept it quiet because she didn't want anypony to know she was technically working with storm and Luna --- the truth was she came along as a favor to me..." Mid snorted "And she made it back immediately... no world-hopping, no delay, nothing..." there seemed to be just a tiny hint of bitterness in Mid's words, as if she were jelous that the Ice Queen had managed to take a shortcut, while she herself had to take the proverbial long-way-around to get home.
  4. Mid let out a sort of dark chortle "No interest in this world's Twilight or Rarity?" she asked, a little cold, but sighed, realizing that she was taking the question a little too personally since she herself was a twilight. "Pinkie has a city of her own down south that is the party capital of the world, sadly things there have gotten out of hoof as a lot of seedier types have used it as a hub for the drug trade since drugs are legal there. Pinkie's own mind seems to have been warped and strained as well, her 'fun police' as almost as terrifying as Storm's Enforcers, Much as it scares me to say it, the fact that Discord lives there is probably making the city safer and more sane that if he weren't. "As for fluttershy... I really dont know... She went into hiding somewhere. Dash still hears from her occasionally, but that's all I know. My best guess is that she's living deep in the everfree wilds - one of the few places that the modern world cannot touch because of all the wild and dangerous magics there, and equally dangerous creatures and flowers" As she packed a few things into her saddlebags she finally stopped and let out another sigh, this time deeper "I know you didn't read my report - even queen Luna had to ask me to simplify parts of it... but there were things I did not put into the report... things that might make a difference in your search... There were four other members of that final party that weren't listed... and one of the ones listed I never explained who he truly was..." it was clear that she was ashamed of witholding information from her queen, but she also seemed to have her reasons for it, which no doubt she had thought about for a long time... but the fact she would mention them to Morgan while keeping them secret from Luna said a lot about either how little she trusted Luna, or how little she thought luna would care about the information...
  5. Its not that no one on here wants to RP, its that the RP you posted went at a breakneck speed and was rather light on details and characterization. Perhaps you would be better off joining some RPs instead of starting your own, it can be hard to manage a whole cast of characters along with your own and a plot, so think about starting small and getting used to the way things work around here. Also, dont expect instant replies from most people. On average you'll get a reply every day or two, so you have to be patient.
  6. The trinity leafed through the binders, all of them disgusted at what they saw, though until Ice explained the link between Harle and Felix, they still seemed confused, at that point they began nodding along, even if they felt Ice might have been overstating some things. Jasper though did mutter 'I have claws, not hooves, thank you.....' ever-so-slightly insulted by Ice's comment, though also knowing it was a colloquial slip, not an intended slight, so he didn't make a huge fuss about it. "what I am wondering..." started cloudy "Is why Harle got involved with Felix in the first place. No doubt she knew about his parents, why would she even pursue the relationship... given that she's a pirate I am suspicious there might have been an ulterior motive..." of course the spy would be looking deeper into things and searching for connections that weren't there --- and none of them seemed to realize the old 'blinded by love' trope was painfully alive and well.
  7. Singlestone frowned and his eyes narrowed "Back home, we have the say 'you break it, you fix it'. You caused this. If Harle is dead, her blood is on your hooves. This is the reason there is only one creature in this world I will ever call 'captain'" he turned on a dime and began walking away, pausing, thinking better perhaps and adding "Thank you for at least providing the ship." he then continued off, muttering things in German. Iggy looked at the grey unicorn as he marched out. once the doors closed she looked over at Ice "um... if I may say so... I'm confused. Whats going on? what does Blackclaw have to do with those mind-readers and why would that drive her to suicide?" The other two nodded, the three of them not quite having all the pieces to put the whole story together.
  8. Sorry, I've kinda let this sit and stew a while in hopes of more reaction... especially ideas of where they could go and what would be done there... a lot of my initial ideas as I tried to flesh them out kinda fell through so I desperately need more inspiration... x_x Sure! You wanting him to be a permanent companion or a temporary (one - two location) one? Great ideas! You can still make suggestions, and you dont have to be a permanent companion, if you want to just pop in for one or two posts in one location, that's fine too. Absolutely! short-term companions to either need help or offer help is welcome, this is ultimately going to be kinda like a mini-series with only short adventures in each location instead of going to 1 location and having a single huge adventure.
  9. Iggy nodded, working hard to hold back a grin. None of them realizing just how real what she said was... at least not yet... Indeed singlestone almost kicked down the door when let in "You have to go back." he said with an almost rude commanding tone "The message My captain said was one to transfer control of she ship, crew, and assets to me because she would not be returning alive." The three looked a little suprised but not too concerned, clearly they didn't have any concern for harle, especially Iggy given her past with pirate "If you think I'm jumping to conclusions, I suggest you talk to your guards" he said, tapping his headset "Repeat to your commander what you told me after you delivered the message" There was a moment and one of the guards came on, explaining that as soon as they reported the message was delivered, harle returned her headset and a holster containing some strange weapon (which ice would recognize from the description as the prototype 'aura manipulator' that harle and singlestone had been testing previously when this mission had begun) and then walked off, telling them not to follow her. Looking like she'd just had a foal die in her arms. "Before you claim she just went to a bar, let me remind you she turned in her headset and weapon - she had no plans of coming back. If we dont find her fast whatever we do find will be dead." his eyes were so fierce it was almost terrifying, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that singlestone was 100% sure that harle was about to and her pain in the worst way possible.
  10. ((sorry it took me so insanely long to respond, a lot of... stuff... happened IRL... trying to get back into RPing now though)) "The princess shows up regularly?!" asked Iggy, her eyes widening and an almost painful grin crawling across her face Jasper chuckled, knowing that would cinch the deal, given iggy's obsession and the choice between just living near an empty former-residence and living where she would possibly see the princess herself. Cloudy glanced at jasper and frowned, knowing this had been the dragon's plan to convince iggy to move out of the little podunk and back to a major city... he wasn't so convinced this was the best thing for them, but he also wasn't going to start an argument here. Meanwhile Ice would get a report that singlestone had just visited the two prisoners and was delivered the message from harle... and now he was acting... erratic... and demanding to see Ice immediately... clearly that message had been something very, very, important...
  11. Its night. the CMC are playing hide-and-seek at the fairgrounds. One makes the "brilliant" decision to hide int he basket of a hot air balloon, the others pile in and dont hear the rope holding it down snap. They start screaming and panicking, but since it late at night nopony hears them... Then after they calm down (and probably fall asleep till morning) they finally figure out, atleast partially, how to control the balloon we get a rousing version of In the meantime, the adults of ponyville are engaged in a bad game of telephone where everypony thinks the CMCs are staying at somepony else's house and it takes them way too long to realize the trio are missing. Fortunately for the fillies, they have a guardian angel, or rather guardian alicorn, and being the wise-and-slightly-tough-love mentor, Twilight decides instead of teleporting the trio home, to just keep an eye on them with a scrying spell and helpfully nudge things as needed, letting it be a learning experience for the girls. While at the same time not bothering to tell ponyville unless they directly ask her to teach them a lesson as well. Since they cant really control the balloon's direction, the CMC are going to have adventures all over the globe, everything from accidentally stopping a robbery by landing their balloon on the robber's heads, to helping a foal find their lost puppy. (honestly ponyville may only realize the fillies are missing after they gain international attention and are featured in the newspaper! XD) So far, we have a Scoots (me) and an Abby (Steel), still need a 'Belle (or if we cant get her, we'll take some random filly or colt that the 2 CMC met earlier the day on the adventure) Also looking for ideas on places the CMC should land and what adventures they should have there. (obviously they're going to visit all the different race's homes and some major cities/historic sites but what happens there is still up in the air, and any other places. Looking at a minimum of 10 locations, possibly 20 or even more depending on how the thread goes!)
  12. ((um, no, she put the "frame" inside the amulet, long story but its basically a high-tech bag of holding)) "Hate to tell you this, but your not Dorothy and this isn't Kansas" commented the mare, though probably completely aware that the stallion had no clue what she was referencing "Picture?" she asked, then she realized his mistake "you mean this?" she placed her hoof on the medallion and after a split-second it passed inside it and pulled out the 'frame' which she tapped and it sprang to life with a dozen smaller images "its not a picture, it's a device..." she sighed, thinking a moment "think of it like a window, it shows something elsewhere instead of what it is. They're a lot more versatile than that though" she explained "you must be another victim of Storm's L.E.A.P. program... my mother was too, and my... aunt" the pause mad it clear that the term wasn't exactly literal but it was the best, or most likely simplest, term the mare could think of. She sighed "I'm not sure how to tell you this... but this isn't the world you knew, and I don't know of any way to send you back. There might be somepony in this world who does, but its not me and I'm..." she cut off suddenly, realizing she was about to either say something that she shouldn't have, or say something that would only confuse Patch more. "Since it looks like I'm going to be keeping an eye on you for a while. Are you hungry? I can fix something for you. I'm not a great cook but I'm better than my mom was" offered Scratch ((and and if it wasn't clear before, yes, this *IS* an adult scootaloo (and if you ask her, she'll openly tell you that's her real name), though granted very different to the one patch might have met))
  13. ((Its fine, it happens, if you want to say he's always been a unicorn in this plot, you can, if you want to say he used to be a pegasus but is now a unicorn, I can work with that too))
  14. ((since your profile doesn't say AND the post doesn't say, based on the fact he's a doctor... he's a unicorn. if he wasn't before, he is now.)) The mare looked over, tapping on the picture and sliding it into a strange amulet that consisted of a large flat green plate that looked about the size of a hoof, rimmed in a metal casing, she then slipped the amulet around her neck and walked over "Well if they're the reason you ended up in a tree, I don't suggest you mess with them again. Unicorns make poor birds" it was a bit of a harsh comment but the mare didn't seem particularly angry, just cynical "You can call me Scratch, I would ask who you are and why you were just a few yards from my campsite, but I'm guessing you have no idea of the latter, I just hope the fall wasn't so bad you have no idea of the former either..." she seemed to be showing a little concern at least - Scratch wasn't heartless, she just clearly had been through a lot and it left many scars on her psyche. The room, now that patch was up enough to see it, was indeed quite small, with every free space used for cabinets and drawers. Though he wouldn't likely know what it was, there was a TV mounted on one wall along with the dining table, a small cook-space, fridge, and a small and non-private bathroom area. There were also two doors leading somewhere, marked in a language he wouldn't recognize, and a locked trapdoor under his feet leading down. light was provided by small ceiling-mounted light sources, and though the room was relatively clean, he would be able to spy a little dirt int he corners and a few screws here and there that were rusty. This place had been cleaned up and possibly remodeled, but it was also clearly very old. It seemed stable and sturdy enough though. The other word that most would use to describe the area was... cramped... it was designed for at most two ponies to be able to move around at once. Granted there were two beds, but it would be a close squeeze just to pass each other in the cramped quarters. The other interesting fact that he might notice was a complete lack of windows... ((Basically its setup like a 1-2 person camper, as you'll see there is technically room for 3 occupants but the main living space is small.))
  15. The storm was raging as he went to bed, it seemed to be even more intense now, there was a flash of blue lightning directly overhead. Was he dreaming? his bed felt strangely hard, as he moved though the vertigo kicked in and for a split second he saw the ground rushing up to meet him. As he lay there he saw a shadowy figure walked towards him... ----- He woke up in a nice bed, though it was certainly not his own. above him was a steel plate ceiling, or rather, the bottom side of some other structure. The bed it seemed was built into an equally steel plate wall. It wasn't the most comfortable bed in existence but it seemed to be just comfortable enough. If he looked around he would seem to be in something like a wagon of sorts though ti was all steel. At a nearby table, also built into a wall -clearly this space was tiny and modular- sat an orange mare with magenta mane and tail. The strange thing about her that would make him question if this was a relative of a certain filly he might have met was the fact this mare had batwings and her eyes, though glowing, were mismatched. One was purple while the other was blue. The mare's cutiemark was also visible, a heart with a sword crossed in front of it. She seemed to be looking over a small metal picture frame that she was dragging her hoof across. She didn't seem to notice he was awake yet --- though he probably wasn't 100% sure he was awake either given the strange and bizarre circumstances he found himself in now. Also the discomfort from falling out of a tree that he had certainly not fallen asleep in. Everything seemed to have changed overnight...
  16. Luna would nod "I can see in your eyes that you understand the risk midnight poses to herself, I hope you are able to resolve that conflict without incident" she seemed to hesitate a moment at the shake, but after the moment accepted it. Still in the awkward place of being both a royal by birthright -and demigod- but a disgraced and fallen ruler. "May the moon's light always shine upon your path" she said in parting. ----- When Morgan left Midnight was waiting for him "Anything you need to do before we set off? I would like to gather a few things from my apartment just in case we run into trouble, but it wont take more than 3.54 minutes, given everything I could possibly need otherwise is at my other base"
  17. Luna looked a little surprised "Midnight Sparkle may be my warlock but the world is not in a position where I have need of her specialties right now, she is free to some and go as she pleases and does not need permission from me. I would truthfully encourage her to reach out beyond these lands to perhaps help her recover from the traumatic experiences that were forced upon her by the waterworld incident" Mid looked a little relieved and less confused, having presumably thought that morgan was wanting to ask the queen something else. She nodded "If that is my queen's wishes, I shall travel with and assist Sir morgan of another world" she sighed, closing her eyes, when they opened they were black with silver slitted pupils "And this time I will not fail..." she said in a voice so evil it sent shivers down even luna's own spine "Please, midnight, I beg of you, do not try to take responsibility for what happened before, nor anything that happens henceforth, the fault is not yours and should not-" "It was my fault. If I'd been stronger or faster, or read the warning signs I see now, I could have saved them all. I wont let it happen again" Luna sighed "I see you have made up your mind midnight, do as you wish, now if I may I would like to speak with sir morgan of another world in private before you head off" "Of course, my liege" said mid, bowing and exiting the room Luna sighed, showing the most emotion she had since morgan had met her "you have done much to help Midnight, but I regrettably must ask you to do more. Please, try to convince her to release this pain, else she follow paths even darker than the one I foolishly tred years ago. Her abilities have brought the gaze of powerful beings upon her, beings that make nightmare moon seem like a foal throwing a toy on the ground... If you wish to take her with you, and to help her, I beg of you, please, keep her safe... not from monsters, not even from the dreaded tax collectors... but from herself... she needs that more than ever right now"
  18. Mid looked a little surprised and confused but nodded "I dont know exactly what you think you'll find, but if you wish..." she walked towards the door, nodding politely at his opening it for her and proceeded to the magical lift, tapped it with her card and entered, vanishing. When they arrived Luna was exactly where morgan had last seen her, and gave the tiniest, faintest of smiled "I see you have managed to rouse my warlock from her stupor, I commend you, what do you wish from me now?" she asked Mid looked at morgan expectantly, hoping he would be able to explain his odd request more clearly to Luna than he had to herself...
  19. Mid looked at Morgan very strangely "They're all the same color, or colors, or no color... its hard to describe... I guess if its important to you, you can ask luna, she has my soul in a bottle upstairs after she pulled it from the black sea" as rediculous as it sounded, there was no hint of mirth, no joke, mid was being completely serious Matilda rolled her eyes and made a silent whistle, giving morgan a look of 'did you HAVE to say that?'
  20. When dusty spoke, mid's smile faded and she looked down at the floor. Matilda appeared standing atop a pile of boxes "Oh so now you think your so special you can go orderin' other around?" she asked "Taking that darkpony outa this place for more than a couple days would kill 'er" explained the AI "Native-born darkponies are tied to the essence of this place in a way that even disgraced queen luna cant fix, she cant leave for more than a couple days, double that if she has an amulet opposite of the one she gave or or she'll wither an' die... and let em tell you, she ain't got much witherin' to do, know what I'm sayin'?" Mid sighed "Your AI is right I'm afraid, as it is orchic has to work around a very tight schedule to make sure she doesnt get sick from being away from the darklands. The reason I can go is... well... I'm not a natural DarkPony" she sighed "Nova turned me not long after we met..."
  21. Rainbow Dash Rainbow let out a sigh of relief. They were still going to fail, but they were going to fail spectacularly and now nopony was going to be upset about it! She hadn't been sure if she could handle the crowd herself without any of her friends to back her up, but it seems that things worked out well enough in the end, her song -as impromptu and bad as it was- seemed to spread and brighten up the spirits of everypony int he town, even some inside their houses it looked like from what dash could see of ponies from their windows. Hearing a voice behind her, dash turned and let out w winning smile instinctively, not knowing when her name was called if it was going to be a question about what they were supposed to be doing -which she had no idea- or about the extra snow -again no idea- or maybe just somepony improvising a final verse of hte song using her name -thankfully not, she loved the spotlight but she knew so little about how the other teams were supposed to behave she really didn't want to become the new top-of-the-heap leader for wrapup... Fortunately it was none of those things, it was a fan -something she was always thrilled to see, since all the other wonderbolts loved to brag about theirs (atleast they seemed to be bragging and rubbing it in that dash wasn't as popular... or maybe that was simply dash's ego deflating and her looking to blame anypony but herself...) She turned to the... bat pony? well that's something she didn't see every day "Hi Blue, nice to meet you, love your colors" she smirked a little jokingly "glad to see everypony pitching in and getting things started!" she was nervous, and she was holding it in a death-grip... hopefully it didn't show, though anypony that knew her would realize she was starting to act... less like her self... now that the pressure was really starting to set in... Like the rest of the ponies, Dash also caught wind of the punch, but unlike the other ponies, she didn't trust it... she knew berry's reputation, and the last thing she needed was some "special" punch causing her wits to leave her even quicker than they were! Where were her friends?! Why was she the only team leader here?!!!?
  22. Mid sighed "Not much that you can do to this place, an explosion, a fire, and probably mold too now... we should probably leave, your amulet wont last but a day or so, and this isn't exactly a good place to set up a base of operations" she stood up "I dont know why, but for some reason just being around you makes me feel better, like the odds are maybe even as much as 1.031%" she smiled a little, not realizing how nerdy her comment was "Where do you plan to go next? Or would you prefer we simply head to my old lair, its in a lot better shape than this" she said awkwardly
  23. When he patted her back Morgan would no doubt feel the shape of the batlike wings on the pony's back. No wonder she was feared as so powerful, she was both an alicorn and a dark pony, and who knew what other tricks she had up her sleeve! At first mid would just not along numbly as morgan spoke, then when he slammed his fist into the ground she somehow managed to crawl back even further into the corner, startled. She might be all-powerful but she was just as jumpy as any pony. She stared at him for a moment "...catch the sun? even if you were a pegasus you would pass out long before you got anywhere near the sun because the atmosphere thins out the higher you go, and even if you surpassed that like the Fallen did, you'd only die by falling into a huge burning ball of fire" yes, typical nerdy twilight, completely missing the fact that morgan was likely not being literal. Then she paused, thinking aloud "If either nova or rad saw me right now they'd yell at me and beat the snot out of me..." she commented "and none of them would give up... Nova already saw one world die, he wouldn't want to see another, and he's lost so many he cared about he would refuse to lose another... Rad was no different, even though she was younger and never saw a world die... Scootaloo always said she would be the sword that protects others..." Mid sighed and stood up "Our odds of finding them - any of them - around around 6 out of infinity. How we can find them I dont know. What we can do if we wind them, I dont know. How we can bring them back I dont know. Is this really waht you want, Sir Morgan? Is this really the quest your after?"
  24. Mid closed her eyes and sighed hard "Rad showed up in our world a couple months ago and immediately started causing trouble, A wild and crazy rainbow dash that also had crazy magic powers, that got ponies spooked. Nova and I were dispatched to find out if she was dangerous and try to form a peaceful alliance... but it was nothing like that... we ended up becoming close friends. Rad was working for Storm, trying to save our world - dont believe what other ponies tell you, storm is a good creature, he's made his share of mistakes, hell we all have, but he wanted to save this world more than anything else. He sent rad to another world to get a book, an eldritch tome that contained all knowledge - even knowing it would destroy his mind and drive him insane, he didn't care, making Rad promise that once he had spelled out how to save the world and set things in motion that she would kill him so he couldn't hurt others... He even gave her his own sword, the only weapon capable of ending his otherwise immortal life... something about when he died a massive amount of lay would be released because of how powerful he was... which would save our world in the short term while Rad, Dash, and whoever else worked on the plan to save the world in the long-term." she paused a moment, thinking about things "IT got complicated when Rad took her new daughter Scootaloo to the other world, but we all ran with it... she managed to break through Nova's hard exterior and find herself a loving dad..." she choked up a moment, thinking about it, but managed to push it all down "She grew up fast in that world, a lot faster than she would have in this world... she became an adult, found a mate, and even a sort of partner to watch her back... we made a lot of friends in that world... all of them are dead now... Fyre too - Scootaloo's mate" she stopped again, trying to steel herself to finish the abridged version of the story "It turns out the whole reason storm sent us was that whole world was on a time-loop. The universe was going to end for petty and stupid reasons, and we tried to stop it, but failed... Storm tried to pull us back the instant the world ended... but something went wrong.... Rad's wild magic, all the advanced technology that nova and scootaloo had... I dont know... something didn't play nicely with his recall spell. I got thrown from world to world on my way back, even though it was only a couple weeks here, I spent nearly a year away... half of that after losing the ponies most important to me... my mate, my 'sister', my 'niece', hell even a god inside of a hat that was like a REAL mother to me..." she sighed "so much happened there... pirates, robots, six-legged cats, alien technology... my head still spins when I think about it all..." she reached into her cap and pulled out a different picture. This one still had herself and Rad in it, but Scootaloo was clearly an adult, a shield on her off-hoof, a gauntlet on her right, with a white and blue dragon riding on her back. Next to her was a zebra, leaning against scootaloo, clearly in love with her. Beside them was a strange large black cat with six legs and strange red runes along his skin, having no fur. behind them was a white pony with a red mane and mismatched blue and green eyes wearing a black vest, and on the far side of the group were what clearly was another world's version of lightning dust, Soarin, and Spitfire. Dust looked the same, soarin though had white fur, red eyes and wore a suit with a black cape lined in red --- clearly "vampire" attire --, and spitfire had flame marks all over her body but looked remarkably similar to what morgan would have known. Barely in frame was a huge metal hoof and leg, belonging to some statue or robot. Mid spoke quietly to the picture "they're all dead... all but me... why me... why not rad - she could have saved this world, or Nova who could have found a way to at least save himself using his alien tech... hell Scootaloo had barely been alive, she deserved more time than she had... why was I the one that survived... why..."
  25. "Who is it?" asked a familiar voice, when morgan told her who he was, she sighed "Luna sent you didn't she?" she asked, but before morgan could answer there was an audible click and the doors slowly swung inwards. The room was dark, only enough lights had been turned on to keep from tripping over things on the floor, and there were many. The room had seen better days, looking like there had been a fire or explosion - many objects were scorched along with walls and ceiling in certain areas, it all originated from one place, which had been hastily repaired, clearly some machine had gone amiss somehow. The items though were just haphazardly thrown into boxes, completely disorganized, if morgan looked into the kitchen or bedroom he would see the sink full of unwashed dishes and spilled bits of food or drink on the floor of the kitchen, and the bedroom was unkempt and the bed unmade. Sitting in the darkest corner, morgan would make out the shape of a pony, a unicorn, curled up in a depressed ball, staring at a photograph. Though it was dark, he could tell this was the same photograph that dash had shown him. The pony looked vaguely, but distinctly familiar, with purple eyes and a pink stripe in her otherwise black mane and tail. Her fur was the same gray as the other darkponies, and she wore a black jumpsuit with a black cape, trimmed in purple. On the outer edge of her ears were three silver rings, along with two silver studs "snakebites" in her lips. The neck of the jumpsuit was low cut and he could see an amulet hung around her neck. She also wore a silver ring with a moonstone gem set in it, along with several strange runes, around her horn. Despite all the differences, it was clear that this was a Twilight Sparkle. Though the state of her home spoke volumes about her mental health given what a neat-freak she was usually and how messy the home was right now. She was taking her friends seeming death incredibly hard. Mid sighed again and glanced at morgan "What do you want?
