Bit watched the polisher count down from just beside it. The sand had stopped several minutes ago, with only the water-pump still circulating. It was the wash at the end of a cycle, when all that was left was dislodging residue before the automaton within was released. She'd always found it to be the most refreshing part of the cycle, though in retrospect the water was incredibly cold and got into all parts of her body. Someone who used to be organic would probably not enjoy the process much.I hope you're…-

Tracy didn't quite fly his old car home—as much because of the potential legal dangers as the mechanical weaknesses of the old Civic. Accelerating towards the triple digits began a rattling sound that vibrated through the engines into his hand, making it quite clear just how dissatisfied the car was with his eagerness to show off.He did take the promised detour to the grocer before stopping at home, both out of personal eagerness to grab a few real mangos, as well as a desire to let Rose see the variety…-

H held still as noises sounded from the other side, coming from the door. There was something mechanical to them, but she didn’t actually know what let some doors open and kept others closed. Maybe they’re giving up? Her promotion was coming for sure.The door opened in a crack, and H got her first look at the other side. There were three ponies just as she had sensed, an adult mare in some fancy cloth that had been torn in ways that didn’t look intentional. A much smaller filly, even smaller than she…-

Velar feared he might be kept underground until the conflict had ended—maybe the entire thing would be over and he would only discover the victor after the fact.Apparently his cooperating with Starlight Glimmer was starting to pay off, because instead of shut into a cell, he was led through the caverns.It was beauty like he’d never quite seen in Accipio. Caves that had grown spectacular formations of crystal and gemstone, with walkways elevated above the floor and lit with strings of electric lights…-

The Storm King's decision to occupy an Equestrian castle instead of building his own came with a powerful disadvantage—it meant that ponies knew more about the land underneath it than his own troops.Golden Wind and his brave “warriors” didn't have to scale the castle walls, or overcome siege weapons and waiting soldiers. They arrived already inside, with alarms blaring and troops rushing out of the castle to reinforce against a pony advance on the city armory.They were hardly a stealth force, though.…-

Lucid Storm was on the right track with this prototype.Granted, he had thought exactly that same thing on several previous occasions. His garage/workshop was littered with the broken pieces of could've and should've been, as earlier versions of this exact project grew beyond his ability to create them.But this time was different—this time, he was sure."Those weren't failures, Sweetie," he whispered, circling around the machine. "They were necessary experience. I wouldn't know how to make this work if I…-

Amie had to carry them to the fire after that. Technically she had to build the fire first, then beg for Ivy's help to carry her unconscious campers one at a time. But despite her initial fear, she helped Amie lift the bugs onto her shoulders one after another. They were so light compared to the unicorn body she'd taken that she could lift even Rick easily. By the time the fire was built, the two of them were sleeping peacefully beside it. Really sleeping, deeper than anything Amie had felt from another…-

Despite her elevation to Alicorn, Felicity hadn’t worked on many ships during her service to the Forerunner. There was no great mystery behind her record—back around Equus, there just weren’t that many ships to go around. A few service vessels traveled back and forth from the ring’s surface to Forerunner’s station far above, where the assembly of their exploration ship and presumably the war fleet had taken place. Felicity had captained one of these for several months, doing little of consequence…-

Harlequin didn’t need to sleep like a pony, and so she spent most of the night awake in bed. Eventually she would probably find a way to sneak out and do something else at night. Maybe work on the escape plan for the other changelings. If I can get out without being seen, the ponies will think I’m asleep in bed here. They won’t suspect anything was me.There was no organized meal for breakfast, just ponies coming and going between bowls of cereal and offered fruit. The selection was interesting to…

To say that the session went incredibly would be an understatement of such vast size that Orson could not have made it without feeling guilty. It wasn’t that Murphy was a bad GM most of the time, far from it. Every session they played involved hours more behind-the-scenes work researching other products, designing the plotlines for them to play, and inventing the puzzles and challenges that would oppose them each game.Maybe it was the pressure of having his girlfriend watching. Maybe it was having…-
