Where in the city is the Museum?

Indeed. I'll be off to set up shop. I'll be keeping the banter in mind as I dupe the heroic hired hands. What other way is there to serve the nectar of the gods?

Blacker than a moonless night...hotter and more bitter than Hell itself...that is coffee.

This is illegal, you know.

A crime RP? Sounds like the perfect job for the P.I. Pegasus...assuming the REA and REIN don't block his way.

Harrington set up some TNT behind the ball to give it a huge drive. He got behind the explosion shield and pulled Silver Profit behind it, then smiled as he threw the switch, sending the ball flying away from the biggest divot in golf history and into a path the ball could break through most anything in its way.

"That should be plenty..."

That was fun. It looks to be quite the process behind the scenes, though. There must be a lot to look over and more to scrutinize just to pick the outright winners in each event.

Then they come next door to my coffee shop for some hot coffee to help it...and then their mouths burn! They'll be running back and forth all day long and we make enough money to fund our more dastardly plans!

As Texas Tech Alumni who went to nearly every home game for five years, I am bound to mention that we beat you last year, at your house, breaking your home game winning streak and knocking you out of the number one slot.

Quoted for truth. The sad thing is that Tech didn't win another game after that. They were 5-2 after arguably the biggest upset in Tech football history and ended up not qualifying for a bowl game.

Though I'm starting to think it's more likely I'll go to Baylor. Or MIT. Or Williams. My dad got a bachelor's in business from Texas Tech and my older sister is an English major at Baylor. I have several friends who are considering OU, though. And I have some who attend rival OK State. Right now, I'm waiting for my senior year of high school to start and hope I get everything together that I need to apply. I'm hoping there are some bronies I can meet wherever I go to college. Certainly, there are some at Williams or MIT.

Besides, the Dallas Cowboys also have OU to thank for DeMarco Murray.

One of the greatest puns in recent video games.

PORTAL KOMBAT!!

At the end of the round, when all actions are in, I'll write the next part, which will say who did what and who is out as a result.

Start with this:

• Applejack - 10

• Pinkie Pie - 10

• Rarity - 10

• Twilight Sparkle - 10

• Fluttershy - 10

• Rainbow Dash - 10

• Applejack - 11 (+1)

• Pinkie Pie - 10

• Rarity - 9 (-1)

• Twilight Sparkle - 10

• Fluttershy - 10

• Rainbow Dash - 10

It seemed simple enough at first. Who in all of Equestria could turn town the chance at a Pinkie Pie party when given one? Strange that she seems to have only sent out 10 invitations and none of them were even to her closest friends, but...it's a Pinkie Pie party! Who cares? All of you have a blast throughout the night as quite possibly the best party ever goes on through the night.

To conclude the party, Pinkie leads all 10 of you back to a dark room. You mutter and whisper among yourselves, wondering what she had planned for this finale. The lights come on, and sitting in front of you are 10 cannons. They very much resemble the party cannon Pinkie busts out sometimes to shoot confetti and streamers and stuff at parties or when somepony new comes into town.

"All right, everypony," Pinkie starts, "go ahead and take a cannon! This is going to be the absolute, no-doubt-about-it most fun you'll ever have to end a party! Oh, get in a circle when you have yours!"

The 10 of you nod your heads and reluctantly each choose a cannon. They're all identical, so choice is arbitrary.

"Now, I haven't ever tested this game before, but I'm sure it won't be that bad. All you have to do is be the last pony standing. Each of your cannons is filled with lots of party stuff! I loaded plenty just to make sure everypony hit would be showered in the stuff! Maybe even buried! Anyway, you can shoot at somepony else, you can just not shoot at all, or you can see what all the fun is about and shoot yourself! I promise it won't hurt! Okay, maybe a little, but have fun!"

The first round has begun. Players, send in your choices as soon as you can.

Applejack listened to Mareio and his explanation about Bowser's possible plot to kidnap the princesses. She couldn't help but try to stifle laughs as she thought of how plausible it was that a turtle monster would kidnap the rulers of day and night itself. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good-good one, there...lemme say it again. They control the Sun an' the Moon. If some overgrown tortoise wants ta kidnap THEM, he's in for quite the rodeo ta put it lightly."

Anyone gonna drop by? Maybe now would be a good chance for Fluttershy to see about this new pony.

Jive

There's the requisite 10. I'll send out PMs asking for actions tomorrow morning, probably around 10 or 11 Central depending on when I get up. By the time I do, signups will close.

Then when said orphans are old enough, we give them the coffee. This guarantees that they'll follow us, and if the hold is ever broken, they still won't turn on us.

Tone

I wouldn't, either.

You're in the Legion of Doom!! If they tow your V&W away, use one of your little gadgets or ray guns to take it back! Shoot them if you must!

As for me, I'd rather go about giving people coffee that allows me to control their minds when they consume the whole cup. And it will be irresistible, too, so they can't just drink one sip.

"Well...we don't have a princess."

She paused for a moment to think whether to count Cadence or not.

"We have two. Celestia, who rules over the day and pretty much runs the kingdom, an' Luna, who controls the night an' makes some decisions about how to run Equestria."

Someone already tried that. Didn't work. Even if we tried again, SOMEONE has some time-travel machine or spell or whatnot so we would be at a stalemate until they figured out how to beat us.

I say send in the Daleks. Better yet, why don't we just shoot them?

(Note: I'll only use colors from here on to differentiate between characters. One character means their text is black.)

"Mareio, huh? Ain't ever heard of you before...but mah name's Applejack. An'...the Mushroom Kingdom? Never heard'a that place before. Is it somewhere out by Griffon territory? Anyway...I'm takin' you inta town so somepony can help out with this. Hopefully, Twilight has some explanation for why everything looks like a paper prop 'round here...ourselves included."

Applejack continued hauling Mareio until they were in town and headed for the library tree. She knocked on the door, hoping for a quick answer.

"Twi? Spike? You in there?"

(Taking Applejack only, other Apple members open; just using them for this first scene)

Applejack was bucking trees in the orchard as usual when a rift came and went in an instant, turning everything two-dimensional. She didn't notice this until she bucked and hit thin air (geddit?). She tried again and missed. Frustrated, she turned around to see that, straight behind her, there was no tree. It was just the side of some paper.

"What in tarnation is goin' on!?" She looked down to see only one side of herself, lifting her hooves as they appeared restricted to moving upward. It was completely awkward to do and unfamiliar, seeing as how everything was paper. She hurried to the barnhouse to alert the others, who were already reacting to their new papery surroundings.

"Dis confahnded new...paper stuff...all around is...mighty weird," Granny Smith said.

"Eeyup," replied Big Macintosh.

"Ah think it's kinda neat!" Apple Bloom said.

Applejack went back outside to see Kammy and Bowser fly off, but wondered what they were or who they were. A cry was heard out in the field, and Applejack hurried out to see the plumber pony passed out in the orchard. She took him on her back and headed into town to alert the others of what was going on other than the fact that they were all two-dimensional.

I'll save my OC for a later time. For now, yee-haw!!
