Catlin did not make it far with this new frame. But she couldn't stand to remain in the presence of this half-broken Sentient, slowly rotting in their own decaying sanity. She needed to get up into the castle proper, where at least things made more sense.The frame was not so strange as the first time she took on a non-humanoid form. But this one was leaner and more graceful, the sort of frame Catlin preferred. It reminded her a little of her beloved Titania Prime, without the tiny fairy wings, or bizarre…-

The longer Tracy remained at the stall, the greater hunger and exhaustion began to weigh on him. It might seem like day, but as the sun reached noon that meant midnight in the “real” world. Six hours of sleep if he could get home right then.He’d probably have settled for a Rockstar, if there were any for sale in an alien world. But there were no disgusting energy drinks for sale, at least not at any of the neighboring stalls. There were more customers than he might’ve thought for a little flower…-

Tracy didn’t have to ask for directions to the library this time. Though with the way it towered over Ponyville, he’d have to be blind to miss it. He didn’t hurry, and more than once considered turning back and abandoning this crazy idea completely. But he’d already made a few steps towards insanity—there was no turning back now. If I don’t find something, my real life will fall apart before this fake one has a chance to go anywhere interesting. Maybe Shane had the right idea after all—cross…

Tracy shouldn’t have been that overwhelmed by a few questions. The one asking them wasn’t even threatening, more the kind of creature a child would find at the best petting zoo ever.“Thanks for helping me out of that,” he said, as soon as they’d left Lyra behind and were well on their way across Ponyville. His watch still read seven, so it wasn’t like he felt incredibly tired or anything. If only the sun wasn’t so bright. “I should’ve realized she would want to know everything. I’ve had…

Lane could think of few things quite so dangerous as going straight to the surface now that she didn't have her companion, but straight to the surface was where Lane intended to go. Of course, there were a few minutes of wandering, given that she knew the layout of Starfall so poorly. But after several minutes of searching, she was able to locate the entrance, hidden in a grate that had been built by human hands. Flying up that grate was her first challenge, given that from her small perspective it…-

Lane stared back at Mew, expecting her to vanish any moment. His whole life he’d been searching for her, ignoring the chorus of voices insisting that he was doomed to fail. But something about her smile was no longer reassuring. Her teeth were small—there was nothing overtly intimidating about her, really. She could’ve perched on his hand without too much difficulty, if she was anything as light as she looked. “Not many humans come out this way,” Mew went on, circling slowly around him. She…

Applejack watched her older brother smash his hooves into the tree so hard she was afraid it might come crashing down. Apples rained down into the buckets on the ground, and Big Mac turned to collect them without so much as a backward glance in Applejack’s direction.“Do you think…” Applejack said, her voice coming slowly even for her usual drawl. “Don’t you think you should talk about it?”“Nope.” Big Mac hoisted one of the baskets onto his back with the skill of a pony who had spent his…-

Avery was small. Of all the experiences in her life, this was new. In that regard, Quinn's tragic accident had given her an incredible gift. Humanity was so small a price to pay for everything she had gained. Life in the city called Starfall varied little for her from day to day. Avery woke with the dawn, because that was what her body wanted. She was never alone, but slept comfortably in her mother's bed, basking in the warmth of another living thing. Adoptive though she might be, Metis had…-

Albrecht’s words hit her harder than any attack could've. From the instant she'd decided to move against him, she imagined all the terrible ways for it to end. She had suffered sieges, poisonings, campers armed with sharp sticks rushing in under some hideous threat.Instead, the old camp director stood right in front of her, helpless. Maybe he had a radio in that bag, but he wouldn't reach it before Amie did. Fortunate for him that she wasn't the bug he claimed her to be. "Surrender," she repeated.…-

Firefly stood at the center of four cultists. Mercifully her father was the only one behind her. Though it was hard not to feel at least a little fear of him too, given the similar mask and robes. “I have long yearned to make your honored acquaintance, great one,” said another cultist, stepping forward from their ranks. A unicorn with a dark-colored horn and yellow eyes. She couldn't see any more detail through the robes. “Call me Ether Lens. And you are Firefly, yes? The unborn god.”She nodded…-
