Chance finished her story about the time when the orderlies took her half-eaten soup away, much to her relief. It wasn't as though the smell was doing anything other then make her vaguely sick, anyway. "You know the rest."Twilight nodded. "I think I may be able to get them to suspend treatment for a day. Long enough to see if it does improve, like you said. But..." She sighed. "If I do that, it's going to make life difficult on us both for the next few days.""Difficult on... both of us? Are you gonna get…-

Sunset did not dream, not exactly. What Sunset did see she had great difficulty even classifying into the world she knew. It wasn’t a dream, and yet she wasn’t quite awake. Something moved around her in an indeterminate gray space without end or beginning.Could this be the Void Starswirl had spoken of in his treatise on the intersection of related worlds? She couldn’t ask any of the natives, because she couldn’t ever see them. Perception would come as a general sense of observation, but by the time…-

Arcane Word was a pony of much experience. There were many of the First Generation like her who had lived half as long, yet still grew tired of experience. Not her. She settled comfortably beside Domino in the Sanctum Profane, where the rules of Equestria Online were unwrit and the impossible became reality.Like so many other immortals, she remained stuck in her old ways—it just happened that those old ways meant time for a little homebrew development."I bring back the dead," she said. Her horn lit with…-

It wasn’t going to be an easy trip. He knew the path he’d chosen, and he began making his way back, though with such a heavy creature in his arms, he had far less dexterity. He wouldn’t be climbing anything with it, that was for sure.No, with her. She sounded like a her when she made her not-quite-talking noises, and his instinct felt right. Female horse-monster baby thing.Eventually he reached the edge of a rocky slope, leading back down into the forest proper. He didn’t recognize any of the…-

Bit might not have the Wizard with her to remind her of her duties, but that didn't matter. Her commitment to her responsibilities was fundamental. She could no more give them up than she could abandon her post.Still, many days of reflection on her task led her to another powerful realization. She had been told to take from the supply shelves and clean, and not stop until the task was done. But the Wizard wouldn't care how she cleaned, would he? So long as the result was the same, she could achieve it some…-

It took over a year to prepare. Celestia did indeed have excellent contacts—engineers and contractors and many other things. They weren’t just skilled in the right kinds of construction, but also in doing it without getting noticed. They got the materials under the guise of other buildings elsewhere, while actually ordering far more than they needed. Those structures would be sold to cover much of the cost, while the excess would be gradually, deftly moved up north. So far north that there were no…-

Starlight Glimmer couldn’t be sure that she would win user Ronald’s support for her plan. She couldn’t be sure of anything when it came to user behavior, no matter how predictable they could sometimes be. He drove the same route home from work every day. He spent the same hours sitting in the same chair. He consumed the same foods. Yet when she tried to use that information to predict his responses, she often failed.“You invented something,” he said. “You and the other agents, interacting. You…-

Charlie wasn't sure what he had expected to find in this trip. An opportunity to bring his increasingly-distant best friend back down to earth, maybe. A nice Saturday away from the pressure of the city and the vicarious stress of his patients. Sure. But evidence, even fleeting circumstantial evidence, that his friend was right, that hadn't been on the agenda. Charlie sat and watched as his friend prepared for his “ritual.” Of course he'd seen most of this crazy stuff before. Pretty rocks, bits of rare…-

Jackie could never figure out why Alicorns liked towers so much. They were already taller than other ponies, and more powerful, did they have to lord over them?Granted, in Mundus, she supposed that everyone lived in towers, they were just towers with their own ecosystems and climate. Naturally the Alicorns lived in the tallest of these, or at least their official residences were there. What most of them did with their time, Jackie didn’t know or care. Every immortal had their hobbies, or else they…-

Catlin was adrift. She had felt such strange disconnection before when the Grineer queen interrupted her transference, poisoning her with her essence in an attempt to steal her body. Catlin had felt like this—severed from her own body, as though left to float away through the fiery tendrils of the Void. But back then, Teshin had been there to guide her mind, feeding her memories of an ancient Orokin palace and freeing her powers from Margulus’s bonds.There was no guiding influence now, no thread of…-
