Roseluck turned the binder over in front of her, trying to make sense of the records she was collecting. The flower stall wouldn’t be in this state if only they’d understood how bad things were getting. The trouble was, Rose and her sisters liked growing and arranging flowers, not so much the organization that went with it. One little budget shortfall and the next thing they knew they were selling their house and renting space in the cheapest places they could find. She rose, dumping the entire thing…-

Avery was far less intimidating to him than she had been a few moments ago. Quinn floated down beside her, close enough to feel the heat radiating from her body. Tiny limbs twitched, and thin claws emerged from between her toes with each movement. Not the kind that would hurt Quinn by mistake, though. Instead of fighting danger, this creature now radiated a sense of familiarity and desperate need for help. This is a newborn without a mother. Does that make me her mom? The kitten shivered. When she spoke,…-

Twilight prepared for two full days before making the first crossing herself.It wasn’t just that the world on the other side might’ve defied the readings of her probe, though that was certainly possible. “You’re one of the best spellcasters in Equestria, Twilight. Can’t you just go and adapt?”Twilight crouched low over the complex mechanism she was soldering, a necklace of two interlocking pieces of gold. Less than a year ago, such a valuable piece of spellcasting hardware would have been…-

August 11, 2015Dear Diary,I was worried that travel might’ve been difficult, since now a full three months have gone by, but I’m happy to say things have been relatively simple so far. As we got further north, we left the temperature extremes of the south, and diesel fuel here seems to be in good shape (we’re still on borrowed time, but at least we’ve got a little left). That meant we did things pretty much the same these last few days. Cloudy woke up earliest, did her animal stuff, loaded ‘em…-

Arcane Word did not rush to complete her task. She had begun this assignment by reminding Mystic Crescent that it might take her a great deal of time. Time enough to consult with the machine god, attend a hundred thousand different meetings with creatures all across the universe.It was enough time to invent whole new forms of computronium, purpose-built to simulate the very universe within which they existed. Enough time for the equivalent of a dozen different degrees, enough instruction to understand and…-

Hello Diary,My name is Cloudy Skies, and I am an alcoholic. Woah, it’s pretty good about getting everything I say. No wonder Lonely Day likes doing this so much; this is way easy!I guess I probably shouldn’t fill up this page with crap. Wouldn't put the page in if I did. Probably won’t anyway. Never met a pony more picky than that one. Pretty pony picky pony. It’s not my fault pony’s more fun to say than human! Human, newman, shoeman… That doesn’t even rhyme right, does it.Sorry. This is a…

The music stopped at once, with a sound of awkward shuffling beyond the door. That was about long enough for Spellsong to question whether or not she should be visiting looking like a pony. How close was this shard to rediscovering that they were ponies and rejoining digital life?She could've teleported back to the ship to ask, or maybe just cast a summoning spell to attract Luna's explicit attention. But someone on the other side of the door had already almost reached her.Instead she sent a flurry of…-

“What are you doing down here, exactly?” Scootaloo asked. “Just… walking around in circles?” It was hard to say how long they’d been traveling now since her breakdown. Still there was no sign of a return path to Equestria, though it did seem like their path had widened into a proper road.“I don’t get to see the same places twice. My biggest goal has just been surviving. That’s sometimes easier said than done. When there’s any time left over, I keep my eyes open for any ways out.…-

Work on their personal projects Twilight had her own ideas about what the crew of the Equinox ought to be doing. But ultimately, the decision not to micromanage her ponies was a simple one. It wasn’t just that she couldn’t possibly know as much about their own disciplines as they did—though that was certainly part of it. Far more than that, she just didn’t have the energy to ride them all. It was a long trip, enough time for much to be accomplished. Much more than last time, given they no longer…-

Domino deposited the old leather tube on Arcane's workbench, grinning with pride. "The soul you ordered."The Necromancer's laboratory shared surface-level theming that helped it line up with the world outside—crumbling castle walls, rusty metal railings, and lots of cobwebs. But beyond the spookiness, the laboratory was a practical workspace. The row of skeletons on display along the far wall served a useful purpose designing the bodies that matched the needs of the souls they revived.Domino didn't…
