- >Day "Splicers" in Equestria
- >You are Anon
- >You don't need to wake up, sleep is for the weak
- >But you are strong, living in Rapture had ensured that
- >You haven't slept in weeks
- >You put down the book you'd been reading and stretch to get your blood flowing
- >You look over at the metal lockbox next to your bed
- >Inside rests the only possessions you brought with you to this technicolor world
- >You walk to the nightstand the lockbox rests on and unlock it
- >You pick up one of your few remaining vials of ADAM
- >Even with all of their magic, these p0nies had never thought to alter their genes
- >You had to keep the ADAM hidden, lest one of those blasted horses gets ahold of some
- >You had to stay on top of the food chain, but that wouldn't be easy with genetically altered mini-horses running around
- >You hear a knock on your front door and a grimace finds it's way onto your face
- "Fluttershy's here."
- >Every day since you appeared, she's tried to get in your pants with crazy schemes
- >You really can't blame her though
- >You were quite the charmer before your features were mutated by too much ADAM
- >You grab your mask, gotta keep your face hidden, and teleport downstairs
- "Hot damn, I love ADAM." you say to no one in particular
- >These plasmids were worth the deformities
- >You open the door and glare at the yellow rapist
- "What is it today, Flutterstutter?"
- >"Oh, w-well umm..."
- >As she tries to stutter out a greeting, you retrieve a cigarette from your pocket with your telekinesis
- >She stops trying to speak as she watches you with wide eyes
- >You stare expectantly at her as you light the cigarette with a fire-tipped finger
- "Well? What is it?" you say impatiently
- >"How did you do that without a horn? Can all humans do magic?"
- >You quickly realize your mistake
- >You'd never used a plasmid in front of a p0ny
- >You groan when you realize that the purple on is going to talk your eat off when she hears about your "magic"
- "It's not magic Fluttershy. It's genetics."
- >She looks confused as you stride past her and into town
- >You had errands to run
- >You didn't have to hide your plasmids anymore, Fluttershy would tell everyone anyways
- >You decide to walk to town instead of teleporting
- >Nature's not gonna enjoy itself
- >You hear the slight shuffling of leaves behind you
- "Strange..." you say loud enough for your follower to hear
- "The wind's not blowing, yet the trees are moving."
- >The shuffling stops
- >You turn around and see a minty green tail protruding from a bush
- >This mint-colored unicorn had seemed to take an interest in you, following you whenever you left your house
- "So you want to be sneaky, huh?" you say under your breath
- "I'll play sneaky"
- >A whirlwind forms around your hand as you place a Whirlwind Trap in the next bush ahead of the unicorn
- >You continue walking and you hear the bushes shuffling again
- >Any second now...
- >"What the-!" the unicorn is launched into the air and lands flat on her face
- "Well, what have we here?" you muse
- >You teleport next to the p0ny and squat down
- >She groans and rubs a hoof against her head
- >You take a drag from your cigarette and blow the smoke skyward
- "Hey, get up!" you lightly slap her
- >Her eyes flutter open and meet yours
- "I don't like being followed" you tell her
- >She doesn't talk, just stares at your hands
- "These fuckin' p0nies" you grumble, shaking your head
- >You stand and resume your trek into town, the buildings now in sight
- >You hear the clopping of hooves and look to your side
- >The mint green unicorn now trots beside you, still not saying a word
- "You don't talk much, do you?" you ask
- >She shakes her head
- "Is there anything wrong with you?"
- >She shrugs and keeps walking beside you
- >You stop, take one last drag from the cigarette
- >It'll be a bad day when you run out
- >You drop the butt and step on it
- >As you continue walking, you notice the clopping of hooves has stopped
- >You look behind you and see the unicorn looking at you, then the cigarette butt
- >Her message gets across, despite her silence
- "Lookin' out for the environment? That's good, I like that." you say with a smile
- >You pick up the trash with your telekinesis and the unicorn smiles at you
- "You're not surprised I can do this?" you ask
- >She shakes her head
- >Wow, you expected these p0nies to be freaking out at your use of "magic"
- >You reach the edge of town after a few more minutes of silence with the unicorn
- >You launch the cigarette butt into a trash can and your companion smiles at you for being environmentally friendly
- >P0nies stare and whisper amongst themselves as you pass
- >Even after your month of being here, they still haven't gotten used to the sight of you
- >As you reach the center of town, she waves and departs to one of the many houses
- "Alright, now who would hire a splicer?" you ask yourself
- >That purple librarian probably knows who's hiring
- >You set off toward the massive tree-library thing
- >If you remember correctly, she had told you to visit anytime you wanted
- >If only you could remember her name...
- >You knock on the library door
- >Hopefully she forgot your name too, then you wouldn't look like an asshole
- >The door is opened by a purple lizard
- >He looks at you, his scaly eyebrow raised
- >You return the gesture behind your mask
- >"What -are- you?" he asks
- >And so begins the interrogation
- "I'm a human, what the hell are you?"
- >"I'm a dragon, what's with the mask?"
- "I'd rather not say, where's the librarian?"
- >"I'd rather not say" he's got a shit-eating grin
- "Where's the librarian?" you repeat
- >"What's with the mask?" he responds again
- >This little shit is trying your patience
- >Electricity courses through your hand as you kneel down to his level
- "I'd show you, but it's quite..."
- >You raise your hand in front of his face, electricity arcing between your fingers
- "Shocking."
- >"Anon! I was wondering when you would visit!"
- >The purple unicorn trots down the library stairs, smiling at you
- >"Twilight, you know this guy?" the dragon asks
- >So that's her name
- >Twilight explains who and what you are, but you weren't listening
- >Your mind wanders, thinking back to Rapture
- >About how you managed to kill a Big Daddy, and all the ADAM you got from him and the little sweetheart he was protecting
- >As you think back, you come to a startling realization
- >Your stock of ADAM was low
- >And there was no ADAM in Equestria to keep you from going insane like the other splicers
- >And if you kept using your plasmids, you would use the last of your Eve Hypos
- >"Anon, are you okay? You look ill." Twilight asks
- >Wait what? How could she see through your mask?
- >Had to be magic. It's always fuckin' magic.
- >You think of a way to explain your situation
- "Twilight, before I came here I relied on a certain..." you try to think of the right word "...medicine. Without this... medicine... I can't control myself"
- >"Oh, we have a lot of different medicine you could take!" she offers
- "Well you see, there's no other medicine like this one." you explain "So I was wondering if, with your magical capabilities, you could replicate this medicine before I run out."
- >You hope to whatever god is watching that she is able to make more ADAM
- >"Anon, magic doesn't exactly work like that." she explains "You can't just create matter out of thin air."
- >You sigh, running your fingers through your hair
- >With a limited amount of ADAM left, you would have to start rationing
- >Not to mention you'd have to limit plasmid use
- >You thank Twilight for her time, and leave, forgetting what you came for
- >As you approach your front door, you think that sleep might be best if ADAM was low
- >Gotta keep your sanity, or else you'll kill somebody
- >As you lay in your bed, a quote comes to mind
- "No Gods or Kings. Only Man."
- >Sleep overtakes you and for the first time in weeks, you rest
- End of Day 1
