The Story So Far: http://pastebin.com/u/Kiyo3

Yesterday with posts: http://archive.heinessen.com/mlp/thread/13996951

 

>You wake up in your own bed, for once.

>It's weird not having AJ sleeping next to you.

>But you need some time to yourself.

>...

>Ok, that's a lie.

>But sometimes you just need to sleep in your own bed.

>Don't want Shining Armor getting suspicious.

>Even if he is a total bro.

>But that's not anything to worry about right now.

>You have a whole day ahead of you.

>And no class!

 

A. Sleep

B. Vidya

C. Lounge

 

>Time to get up.

>You shower and get dressed.

>Spike's still sleeping.

>How... lazy.

>He needs more gains.

>You head on out to the lounge.

>There's always a friend there or something interesting to do.

>The door's open.

>Helloooo nur-

>It's only Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

"Anon, darling! Have you come to help clean up?"

>Clean up?

>You look around the room.

>It looks like a partyapocalypse happened.

>No one cleaned it last night?

"I would have, but I was simply too tired after the party, and planning it, and making it..."

"Alright, Rarity, we get it. You worked hard. Good job."

>Rarity sticks her nose in the air and picks brushes some glitter into a dustpan.

>Rainbow is helping too?

"I was going to the gym when Rarity caught me..."

>You get that.

>At least helping her out will get her... moral points or something.

>Christianity: 1

 

A. Rainbow

B. Rarity

C. Look for food

 

>Does they need help?

"I'm so glad you asked."

>Rarity grabs a broom and hands it to you.

"Could you sweep up the glitter on the floor? That would really help."

>No problem.

>You start sweeping away the purple sparkles.

>The Twilight Sparkles.

>Rainbow laughs at that.

>It's a literal pun.

>You're good at those.

"Want to go work out after this?"

>Sure.

>You need to do something to pass the time.

>Rarity puts down her dustpan.

"I'll be right back. I need gloves for this..."

>For glitter?

>Rarity *hmph*s and leaves the room.

"Looks like it's just me and you, bro."

>Seems like it.

 

A. Business

B. Bizness

C. Quit early

 

"So bro, what was up with you and Derpy yesterday?"

>W-what?

>What's she talking about, Willis?

"You know what I'm talking about..."

>The dancing?

"Yep. She was getting pretty close to you."

>Yeah...

>Derpy was always trying to...

"Get with you?"

>Well, yeah.

>Before she admitted her feelings to you, she wasn't so... outgoing about it.

>She was shy and worried about how you'd take it.

>But now that she's so... optimistic...

>It's like she has no restraint...

>At least when it comes to her feelings for you.

"She hasn't said anything to me about liking you..."

>Then it must be something else.

>But you don't really know how to deal with her.

"Why? I thought Applejack was cool with it."

>You did too.

>But the way she looked at you yesterday.

>Coupled with how close the two of you have gotten...

"You think Applejack is starting to love you?"

>Yeah.

>And maybe you feel the same...

>You're not sure though.

>Rainbow laughs and punches your arm.

"I'm sure that you'll work it out. You always do."

>Thanks Rainbow.

"Want me to talk to Derpy?"

>Er... no.

>You'll cross that bridge when you get to it.

 

A. Bizness

B. Leave for gym

C. Food

 

>Wanna get outta here?

"Now? Totally."

>You and Rainbow drop your brooms and run out of the lounge.

>Sorry Rarity, but you got to visit Gainsborough.

>Because, gains bro.

>Rainbow doesn't mind if you make a stop, right?

"Nope. Just hurry up."

>You head over to your dorm.

>Spike is predictably on his computer.

>Come on, Spike.

>Time for a workout.

"Right now? But, I just made it into Silver!"

>Not your problem.

>He wants the girl, he's gonna have to work for it.

>And besides, your foot just disconnected his power cord.

"What happened to the power?!"

>No idea. [wink to camera]

>You grab his bag and put a water bottle in it.

>He's gonna need it.

"But Anon-"

>No buts.

>Let's do this.

>Spike grabs the bag reluctantly as you drag him out of the room.

>Rainbow's checking her watch outside.

"Finally, what took you so long? And is that Spike?"

>Yep.

>He's going to be joining you today.

"Really? I didn't know Spike worked out."

"I don't..."

>He'll learn what it takes to be a /fit/zen eventually.

>You key yourselves into the gym and set up.

"Don't worry Spike. We'll show you the ropes."

*gulp*

 

A. Spike

B. Rainbow

C. Work out alone

 

>Spike's gonna need a spotter.

>It's his first time...

>In a gym.

>You set him up with some small weights.

>How's 10 lbs?

"Too... much..."

>He can't be serious...

>Try a 5.

"This is... a little better."

>*sigh*

>We've got a long way to go...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64

>A few hours later, Spike's absolutely drenched in sweat.

>C'mon Spike, one more!

"I'm... trying..."

>Do it!

>Do it for Rarity!

>He manages to get the press up.

"Good job, Spike. I didn't think you had it in you."

>He gives Rainbow a weary thumbs up.

>The three of you shower off and head out.

"Later guys. Gotta get back to leaguing."

>Later Spike.

"What's Leaguing?"

>You have no idea...

 

A. Girls Hall

B. Food

C. Outside

 

"We need some brotien, bro."

>Oh, totally.

>You grab two and pass it off.

"Thanks. What're you doing now?"

>Not much of anything.

>It's a Saturday.

>You'd rather be sleeping or hanging out.

>But your stomach calls out to you.

>You haven't eaten any real food since... the party.

>And birthday cake can't support you for the rest of the day...

>You know, the cake you made yesterday?

>At some point?

>Continuity...

>Rainbow want to get food?

"I could go for some carbo... sure."

>Awesome.

>You go to the food hall.

>It's weird how you haven't eaten here in days.

>Fucking Applejack, with her cooking skills.

>Rainbow picks out a table as you head on line.

>Bananas?

>Nah...

>Fritters are your cliche now.

>You get Rainbow some pasta. Hold the sauce.

>When you get back, you're surprised to see Rarity in your seat.

>Caught...

 

A. Rarity

B. Abort and leave

C. Find another table

 

"Hello Anon. Fancy meeting you here."

>That's your spot.

"Excuse me?"

>It is the singular location in space around which revolves your entire universe.

>Your chair, in layman's terms.

"I... er.. right."

>Rarity shifts over and gives you some room.

"So, where did you two wander off to?"

>The gym.

>Gotta work on dem gains.

"Oh really? And you left me to do all that work, alone?"

>Er...

>Yeah...

>Sorry Rarity.

"I can understand Rainbow leaving-"

"Hey!"

"But I thought you were a gentleman, Anon..."

>She feigns tears of disappointment.

>Meanwhile, she tries getting you to play footsy under the table.

>Really, Rarity?

"I managed to finish the whole room, thanks to Fluttershy. How nice of her."

>Good for Flootsy.

>Doormats being used properly.

"Well, I must be going. I need to finish my portfolio for the studio..."

"I gotta go too, Anon. Practice today."

>Aw, man.

>Who're you gonna hang with?

 

A. Rarity

B. Rainbow

C. Girls hall

D. Dorm

 

>You bid the girls farewell.

>You might as well leave too.

>You grab your stuff and head out.

>What to do...

>There's always the girls hall.

>Lyra let's you in, as usual.

>She should be a hospitality major.

"I'm in music..."

>Ouch.

>Through the looking glass you go.

>Only Fluttershy's door is open.

>Weird.

>No noise from inside, save for the occasional whimper.

>That poor dog.

>What is she doing to that thing?

 

A. Barge in

B. Knock

C. Visit another room

 

>Wynaut visit Derpy?

>Maybe she's calmed down a bit from yesterday.

>Where's her door again...?

>Oh, right.

>She moved...

>Her new room is right across from... Vinyl's room?

>Cool.

>You knock on Derpy's door.

"Just a sec."

>She opens the door.

>After all the times it's happened, you sorta expected Derpy to be naked right now.

>That's what happens when you knock first.

"Hey Anon! Come for a visit?"

>She hugs you and drags you inside.

>It's spacious, light gray in color, modern art deco style...

>That's what you learned in Art History.

>You learned something in Art History.

>Right...

"So, what's up?"

>She's looking you up and down, twirling her hair.

>If only she had a schoolgirl outfit...

 

A. Business

B. Bizness

C. Invite her out

 

>You... uh...

"Yeah?"

>How does she like her new room?

"I love it! The people up here are so nice! Rainbow, Applejack..."

>She looks at you inquisitively.

"You're still with her, right?"

>Uh, yeah.

>Applejack is great.

>But she already knew that, right?

"Of... Of course I did. Just wondering."

>There's definitely nothing implied there.

>Definitely nothing.

>How's her new roommate?

"It's weird. I haven't met her yet?"

>Really?

"Yeah. I guess she stays with a boyfriend or something..."

>Sounds like you renting out AJ's bed.

>The joys of relationships.

"I'm sure she'll be cool though. I just haven't met her yet."

>Hopefully.

>You look around the room.

>This isn't awkward at all...

"Hey, what's wrong?"

>Nothing, nothing...

>You're just a little disappointed that she wasn't naked when you came in.

"W-What?"

>You explain to her the running gag.

>It's bound to happen at some point.

"Well, I guess i'll just have to keep my door open..."

>Yeah.

>Wait, what?

>Derpy laughs and undoes a button.

>Oh...

>Well, you should be going now.

"Aw. Well, I'll see you later then."

>You leave just as she starts taking off her shirt.

>She'll have a hard time cleaning up that spaghetti trail...

>There's music from Vinyl's room.

>Classical music this time.

>Nice.

>And you can hear Rarity's voice coming from her room.

 

A. Rarity

B. Vinyl

 

>The music calls you forth.

>As you get closer, it occurs to you that Vinyl doesn't do classical music.

>Or play Ballad of the Goddess.

>You forgot Octavia also lives here.

>A knock at the door.

>It opens, and a cold breeze blows through.

"Oh, hello Anon. What a nice surprise."

>The breeze subsides a little.

>Octavia invites you inside.

>The room is so... opposing.

>Posters of Skrillex and Deadmau5 match a mess of clothes and papers on the floor, while the other half is clean and organized.

>You can venture a guess for who lives in the messy half.

"I'm sorry about the mess. I keep telling Vinyl to clean it up, but she says she's too busy with her 'music'."

>Hey, Vinyl's stuff is good.

>Octavia shoots you a glance.

>The breeze returns...

"I thought you would prefer the sounds of classical music more than that... noise."

>You like both.

>You're a college student, what did she expect?

>Octavia nods and picks up her cello.

"Is there something you wanted?"

 

A. Listen to her play

B. Bizness (dubs)

C. Nope. Nothing at all

D. Vinyl

 

>You were listening to her play in the hallway.

>Maybe she could play a little more?

"Sure. Any recommendations?"

>Nope.

>Just play whatever she feels like playing.

>Play from the heart, girl.

>Her bow hits the strings, and you're gone.

>Octavia's music brings you to a boat on a river...

>With tangerine trees and marmalade skies...

>Right up that stairway to heaven...

>Wow.

>How long were you out for?

"You like my music that much?"

>It's hella tight.

>She should really be doing concerts and making money.

>Octavia sighs and puts the cello on her bed.

"Sometimes I think about it, but people don't appreciate my style of music anymore..."

>The breeze is gone, replaced by a somber feel.

>Day 0 must've been the day the music died for her...

>Considering how they force kids to learn an instrument in middle school, college must really not encourage it...

>What about those guys she played with before?

"We play sometimes, but those shows were really just practices. In case anyone ever wanted us to play."

>Oh.

>That's even more depressing.

>You look at the time.

>You gotta get going.

>You have that... thing... that you wanted to get to...

"Wait, Anon. Before you go."

>Octavia seems to be struggling with something...

>Is she going for a hu-

>Nope, a handshake.

>That's all you could really expect from her.

"Thank you, Anon. For making me feel appreciated."

>N-No problem.

>You leave the room.

>Octavia's good.

>She just needs to see that for herself.

 

A. Another room

B. Dorm

C. Outside

 

>You're done with girls for a while.

>The hormones are too much for you today.

>Freaking Derpy...

>Time to head home.

>Lyra spots you as you exit.

"Leaving so soon?"

>Yeah. Why?

"I dunno. Usually you spend the night. What're you doing here every night anyway?"

>It's more like "who" are you doing.

>But hey, your business stays in bed.

>Later, Lyra.

"Bye, Anon."

>Your dorm is open.

>Spike must've left the door open.

>He's totally knocked out on his bed.

>Yep.

>You pushed him too hard.

>You're putting your stuff down when the door knocks.

>Who could that be?

"Hey Anon. What's up?"

>Shining Armor?

>Not much...

>What's he doing here though?

"I thought you should know, Chi Up Mu is having a party tonight..."

>Oh, really?

"And I was thinking that maybe we could screw with them a bit..."

 

A. Go to the party

B. Hang back

 

>It only takes a split second.

>You're in.

>Shining hi-fives you as you walk out of the dorm.

>Let's do this.

>A few minutes later, Shining Armor is pulling up next to the C.U.M. house.

"Ready to go, bro?"

>Oh, totally.

>You've wanted to get even with these girls for so long.

>This is going to be great.

>The house isn't as packed as last time, but the energy is still there.

>Too bad you can't enjoy it.

>This is the house that Pinkie's shame built.

>And you've come to tear it down.

>You follow Shining inside.

"Here, take this. Gotta make you look less suspicious."

>He hands you a beer.

>Beer = disguise

>College is awesome.

>You haven't seen Sunset Shimmer or her stooges yet.

>Where are they...?

 

A. Search for them

B. Make a plan with Shining

C. Party

 

"They're probably upstairs, doing a few lines."

>He says that so casually.

"Word spreads, dude. College."

>Right.

>So, what's the plan?

"Well, I guess the goal tonight is to finally incriminate them, right?"

>Right.

>But the police won't help.

>They got away with it last time.

>How that happened, you have no idea...

>There were enough drugs here last time to fuel all of Brooklyn and Queens...

"True. Maybe we should gather some. As evidence, of course."

>Right...

>Or maybe you could do better?

"What's the plan?"

>You need to turn Sunset's friends against her.

>Not just Chrys and Gilda, but the whole party.

"How are we gonna do that?"

 

A. How? (dubs)

 

>You have a plan.

>And it's pretty well thought out, considering you came up with it a second ago.

"Well, what it is it?"

>You tell Shining Armor.

"Really? That's pretty good. Better than my idea."

>Thanks bro.

>But there's time for praise later.

>Right now, you gotta put your plan in action.

>Can Shining Armor take care of that first part?

"Totally. I'm on it."

>Shining heads out.

>Now, you just have to get started on your end.

>You need to find Chrys and Gilda.

 

A. Pool

B. Dance floor

C. Out front

 

>The dance floor seems like a great place to start.

>Lot's of people, places to hide yourself...

>Good.

>The music is pumping through the walls.

>You can barely hear yourself think by the time you push past the crowd.

>The music is deafening, but familiar...

>Vinyl?

>You look over to the Dj booth.

>Yeah, it is Vinyl.

>She doesn't look like she's having a lot of fun...

>Weird.

 

A. Vinyl

B. Pool

C. Front

 

>As you look, it becomes more apparent that those girls aren't here.

>At least, not in this room.

>Maybe Vinyl would know.

>You wave to her.

>She smiles a bit, but quickly turns back to her music.

>What's her deal.

>You walk up to her.

>How's she doing?

"I'm doing well. What're you doing here, Anon?"

>You're here to party.

>What's she doing here?

"Sunset Shimmer needed a Dj, so she asked me again."

>That's cool.

>Now that she's here, she can help with your plan.

>Vinyl shifts around uncomfortably.

>Totally uncharacteristic of her.

"I... I don't think so, Anon."

>Wait, what?

>Why not?

"She knows I helped you out the last time, Anon. Sunset has connections... I might never be able to do Dj at CU again."

>How could she do that?

"She threatened to ruin my rep. That's big in the music biz, dude."

>Right...

>Blackballing, right?

>Vinyl nods.

"I wish I could help, but, really..."

>You understand.

>Can she tell you where Chrys and Gilda might be, at least.

"Totally. They're probably in the at the pool. Check the back?"

>Definitely.

>Thanks Vinyl.

>You hug her and head on out.

>You grab a bag of suspicious looking powder.

>It might come in handy later...

>You head to the backdoor.

>This plan might work after a-

"Hey! Watch where you're going, loser!"

>Sorry, m-

>Oh no...

>Gilda.

"Just make sure it doesn't happen next... time... wait a second..."

 

A. Run

B. Talk

C. Fight

 

>Heyyyy there, Gilda...

"You look familiar... How do you know my name?"

>You're digging a hole.

>Definitely not fixing one.

>And it ain't even raining.

>You've been around, in and out.

"Oh really?"

>Yeah.

>You're... um... that guy...

>You sometimes give the girls drugs.

>Doesn't she remember you?

>Gilda gives you a hard look.

"Nice try, dweeb. You're that punk from last time. Rainbow Dash's friend."

>Fuck...

"Now, the question is, why do you feel ballsy enough to come back here?"

>*gulp*

>You came back because...

>Because...

>Because you're the new drug guy.

>Messenger, at least.

"Since when do we need a messenger for that?"

>Since Blueblood got put in the hospital.

"Right. So, you have our stuff? This party can't keep running by itself."

>Here's the thing Gilda...

>Your... employer... he never received the money.

>She knows... the money that they gave to Sunset to deliver.

"What, really? You better not be joking."

>You swear.

>No drugs till he gets the money.

"Sunset was supposed to deliver..."

>Looks like she screwed them over.

"Fuck! That little bitch... I knew she'd turn against us eventually."

>Yup.

>She should do something about it.

>Gilda pushes past you and cuts through the crowd.

>Yfw you made all of that up.

>The CU theatre group would be impressed.

>Now you only have to find Chrys...

"...That's right. The party's moving upstairs!"

>Shining Armor's doing his part.

>Now it's your turn.

 

A. Pool

B. Follow the crowd

C. Out front

 

>Chrys should be out by the pool...

>You head out back.

>Her slimy blue-green hair catches your eye first.

>Chrys is tanning again.

>Ugh.

>Gilda recognized you, so it's probably best to wear a disguise...

>You look around.

>Nothing... nothing... There we go!

>A nice black jacket and a hat.

>Weird how they're just lying around like that.

>You tousle your hair and put on your disguise.

>Time to work the Anon fire.

>Hey, is she miss Chrys?

"Yeah. Who wants to know?"

>You're the new drug guy.

>A friend of Blueblood's.

>You and him go way back.

"Oh, I didn't know you knew him."

>He was a great guy.

"He was a cheat and a suck up. Shut up and tell me what you want."

>You have the crack that C.U.M. ordered.

>You take the bag out of your pocket.

>Definitely coming in handy.

"Finally! We've been waiting for a fresh shipment."

>Chrys reaches out for it, but you pull it out of her reach.

"What the fuck... Give that to me!"

>Well, you were told by... Sunset Shimmer... that Chrys would do something for you in return.

"What are you talking about?"

>Sunset said Chrys would... er...

>Have sex with you, in return for the drugs.

>Chrys drops her beer.

"Are you serious?! That's what pledges are for! I'd never do that!"

>Well, how else is she gonna pay for the drugs?

"Money, you idiot!"

>There wasn't any.

>Now, if she could take off he-

"Fuck that! Where's Sunset?!"

>She gets up and storms inside.

>Everything's going perfectly.

 

A. Hang back and watch the fireworks

B. Go inside

C. Leave

 

>The pieces are already falling into place.

>A few stragglers are heading inside.

>They must've just got Shining Armor's message.

>You watch them go in.

>It might be a better idea to stay here.

>Lest those girls grow ever wiser...

>You cast off your disguise and sit down in Chrys' chair.

>There's a half-empty case of Sam Adams next to you.

>But you see it as half-full.

>You take one and drink.

>A well-deserved pre-victory drink.

"Anon, are you drinking?"

>Shit. Caught.

"Hey, it's only me."

>Oh, hey Vinyl.

>She wrapping up her set.

"Yeah. I'm pretty much done."

>She pulls up a chair next to you.

"So, how'd the plan go."

>You tell her about the past few minutes.

"And now they're all inside? Way cool, dude!"

>Thanks.

>How about a toast to victory.

"Sure. I always enjoyed the smooth finish of Samuel Adams."

>What?

"Just playing dude. Hand me one!"

>You pass her one and clink your drinks.

>Here's to victory.

"Here's to great music!"

>Uh, sure.

>Your phone buzzes.

Shining Armor: Party found Sunset's stash. What girl needs that many dildos? Chrys and Gilda are arguing with her. Humiliated and friendless. Where are you?

 

A. Go inside

B. Hang with Vinyl

C. leave

 

Shining Armor (At the pool. Get some evidence. We're out in 5): I'll be right out.

"So, Anon, you never really told me the whole plan. What was it?"

>The plan.

>It was quite simple really..

>The first part involved turning Sunset Shimmer's personal army against her.

>Gilda was hard to convince, and Chrys was too easy.

>Getting them to believe that Sunset had stolen their money was the main part.

"But what if they hadn't spent any money on drugs?"

>Basic Psych.

>After you... incapacitated Blueblood, the girls would've needed a new guy to get drugs from.

>And since this was a party, they'd need them fast.

>It was safe on your part to assume that they had asked around for some.

"But what about her money?"

"It's right here."

>Shining Armor appears behind you, carrying a few bags of cocaine, weed, cash, you name it.

"That's so... amazing..."

>Discord taught you well.

"So, you turned her friends against her. What's the second part?"

>Part two?

>Sunset Shimmer is... was... pretty popular.

>All you needed to do was get everyone to see her at her worst.

>And Shining Armor took care of that.

>You had him move the party upstairs, where Chrys and Gilda would most likely confront Sunset.

>And the curious guest would eventually find her dildo collection.

>So... there...

>Sunset Shimmer's reign is over.

"Bro, pass me one."

>You hand a beer to Shining.

>The three of you drink up.

"That's amazing, Anon. Seriously..."

>Yep.

>All in a days work.

"Cheers!"

 

End Day 27+

 

End Day 27+

 

"Thanks for giving me a ride, Shining Armor. I don't know how I was gonna get this stuff back here."

"No problem. I'm a fan."

>Shining helps unload Vinyl's equipment from the car.

"This is it?"

"That's everything. Thanks dude."

>Shining Armor turns to you.

"I'm gonna go and turn this stuff over to the police. I don't think Sunset Shimmer will be having another party for a while."

>Dude... Shining...

>You can't thank him enough.

>He holds his hand up.

"Don't thank me, bro. It was your plan. I only got you there."

>That's good enough for you.

>You fist him, and he drives off.

>What a bro.

"So, Anon, see you tomorrow?"

>Probably.

"Later then, dude."

>She runs off with her stuff.

>Octavia probably locks the door or something.

>That reminds you...

>Hopefully Applejack didn't lock her door yet.

>You gotta tell her about this.

>Victory tastes sweet.

>Hopefully like apple pie.
