- AiE – Erenehylitornos (Still untitled) Part Tres
- > Ponyville seems exactly like you thought it would be.
- > You hadn't really seen it that close from above, but you did regocnize it mostly.
- > Again the buildings didn't seem all that cartoony.
- > You end up raising your sight back up due to your body insisting that you could fall to your death any second.
- > You didn't have acrophobia, but you certainly didn't feel good at this height.
- > Spotting a familiar looking tree you know you are almost at Twilight's place.
- > Your knuckles are pure white with you holding on to your dear life.
- > The four pegasi at the front start the whole landing process, you can feel the gravity trying to make you slide towards the front.
- > Not again you fuck.
- > You strengthen your grip with the power of three Anons.
- > After what felt like an eternity, the chariot finally gets back on firm ground.
- > Not taking any risks, you loosen your grip just when you have fully stopped.
- > ”Are you okay Anon?”
- > Celestia sure is concerned about your well-being.
- > ”I feared for my life.”
- > But you still manage to laugh;
- > ”If only I had wings like you do.”
- > She seems relieved and goes back to her regular warm smiling expression.
- > It's impressive how she can bring that back up immediately right after you finish your sentence.
- > She tilts her head towards the library. ”Shall we?”
- > You let Celestia lead the way, even if you can see your destination close.
- > Luckily there doesn't seem to be any p0nies around this part of the town.
- > You wouldn't want your first expression to be worse than it has so far been.
- > Just as you turn your head to look around you spot a group of four p0nies.
- > Luck still isn't on your side as one of them is facing your direction and spots you and Celestia as you look over.
- > There is a good distance between you, but the reaction is still pretty familiar.
- > She looks you in terror and slowly points over to your location.
- > Better to just mind my own business and get inside as fast as possible.
- > Even Celestia by herself is a rare sight here, but with the huge demon beside her it must be worthy of some dramatic headlines.
- > Speaking of Celestia, she had already knocked on the door and is looking for you.
- > You pick up the pace when the door opens.
- > With the doorway being so small, Celestia has to bow down to fit through.
- > You then hear a simultaneous chorus: ”Princess Celestia?!”
- > ”I didn't expect for it to be you. It must be something urgent for you to come personally.”
- > Celestia stops so that you can't get past her so you decide to listen what's going on.
- > ”Yes Twilight I'm here for something urgent that can't be settled through one letter. Though I'm glad to see all of your friends are here aswell.”
- > Great. Just great. They are all here. Now you can make yourself look like a freak to all of them at the same time.
- > ”We were having a sleepover and ended up staying late” Twilight responds.
- > You can hear few yawns as a reaction to this.
- > ”I understand. I'm here to ask you for a favor. I need you to research anything about humans with the material you can find here.”
- > A single gasp can be heard from the room.
- > ”Humans? Aren't they just an old p0nies tale?” Twilight questions.
- > ”Uh.. Twi? What's a humie?”
- > ”A human AJ. I've read about them in few books and they are descriped as evil demons trying to rule over other species they find.”
- > Geez, you really gotta wonder what the previous humans tried to do here to have that kind of text written about them.
- > You start to hear some worried sounding chit-chat from the room that gets interrupted by Celestia.
- > ”Girls please, I still have more to say.”
- > She seems to have their full attention again.
- > ”You can forget anything you've read about them, because last night one ended up at the Canterlot castle and-”
- > Simultaneous gasps.
- > ”-I've personally come to the conclusion that this information is false.”
- > Followed with a simultaneous sighs of relief.
- > ”He is here with me today and the situation is pretty complicated so it will take time to get on top of this.”
- > ”Anon you can come in now” Celestia tells you.
- > You bow down and look up front to see where you are going only to be greeted by Celestias nether region.
- > ”Oh god what-” You hit your head really hard on the door frame.
- > ”Oh I'm sorry Anon for blocking the way.”
- > You better be that felt like getting slammed with a sledge hammer.
- > Holding your head you enter the house.
- > You witness six very familiar looking ponies.
- > You cross your legs and sit down on the floor.
- > While offering your hand you introduce yourself; ”Name is Anon.”
- > It felt odd. You knew who they were, but they didn't have a slightest idea about you.
- > You examine their reactions.
- > Pinkie seemed unsure whether to scream and panic or to bust out the welcome vagon.
- > Fluttershy was hiding away behind Rarity, who looks your clothing in pure shock.
- > You guess your norse outfit with +50 points on belts didn't look too impressive.
- > Twilight and Rainbow Dash just stare alternating between you and each other.
- > Applejack is the first one to p0ny up and not leave you hanging.
- > ”Well howdy doody mister Anon. Fancy meeting you. I'm Applejack. Can't say you often get to meet a human around here.”
- > ”Pleasure making your acquaintance Applejack. Can't say I often find myself in Equestria.”
- > After a round of introductions Celestia starts telling about your arrival to Equestria with you filling in when needed.
- > Right after you are overwhelmed with questions by Pinkie and Dash about what it's like being a demon and about everything between heaven and earth.
- > Twilight seems to have gathered a mass of books and is browsing through them with Celestia.
- > ”Did you come here from Tartarus Anon?”
- > ”No Dash I-”
- > ”Oh oh, did you escape when Cerberus came here to Ponyville?”
- > ”Pinkie I was about to-”
- > ”Cerberus was really big and scary and huge and was really loud like ROOOAAARGH, but thanks to Fluttershy here who is SUUUUPER good with animals of all sorts...”
- > Fluttershy utters a frightened whimper as Pinkie scoops her across the room next to her mid-phrase.
- > Celestia is silently standing behind Dash and Pinkie, trying to get your attention.
- > ”Anon, if you have a minute...”
- > You stand up.
- > ”I'm going to return now to prepare for tomorrow.”
- > ”We have important guests coming all the way from Neighpon and it all comes down to first impression with them.”
- > ”I'm afraid I can't house you at the castle for the time being due to this.”
- > Well that's a shame. Though it would be stupid to complain.
- > You are pretty sure they weren't expecting for you to pop out of nowhere.
- > ”Obviously I will pay for your expenses during your stay here.”
- > Like back at home, you can't live here without any currency.
- > ”I'm in your debt once again princess.”
- > ”Anon please. We already discussed this whole title process.”
- > ”Yes I remember Celestia. I just didn't want to sound rude in the presence of your faithful student and her friends.”
- > ”Good. Wait here while I get your bits.”
- > Pinkie hadn't stopped even though you weren't paying any attention to her.
- > ”-and then Twilight woke up a bunch of snakes and got scared and-”
- > After receiving your bits and instructions on how to find the local inn ”Three Sisters
- ” for lodging you still had one thing you had to settle.
- > ”I'm going to need some custom made clothing. I can't go around wearing this... disaster.”
- > Rarity's eyes seem to liven up now that her line of business is the current topic.
- > ”I'm glad that I can agree with you Anon, you simply can not go around looking like that.”
- > ”We shall stop by my boutique and get your measurements right away!”
- > That's that then. Time to go.
- > With Rarity up at the front, followed by you and the other four you take your leave.
- > You can see Rarity opening the door and then...
- > Holy shit fucking epilepsy out of nowhere.
- > Showered by flashing lights from every possible direction.
- > You squint your eyes to see what's happening.
- > The local press. How did they get here so fast?
- > They'd put even Peter Parker to shame with their speed.
- > You see most of them standing back, most likely in shock, but one of them steps up to you.
- > ”What do you plan to do in P0nyville and when will you return to Tartarus?”
- > With her unicorn magic she levitates the mic up to your face
- > You just stare at the mic through your squinted eyes without saying a word.
- > Suddenly, you see a pink zip line that stops between you and the press.
- > Time seems to stop as the air is filled with confetti and loud horns.
- > Simultaneously the press is plastered with... cake?
- > ”Welcome welcome welcome, a fine welcome to you!”
- > ”Welcome welcome welcome, I say how do you do?”
- > It's Pinkie Pie, when did she.... nevermind. This is your chance.
- > You start running to a random direction with Rarity following you close behind.
- > ”Thanks Pinkie!”
- > She gives you the biggest grin she can muster.
- > Avoiding the press and getting around the town took longer than planned, but you made it to your destination.
- > You spot a slight glow on Rarity's horn and see the boutique door open.
- > ”That sure is handy. Does it regocnize your magic or how does it work?”
- > Rarity flicks up the light switch.
- > ”It works like a lock I suppose.”
- > ”You can't open it without ”knowing” the key. Surely someone as talented as Twilight can open it either way, but it's safe enough.
- > ”I end up locking it with regular key in addition if I go outside of P0nyville.
- > You keep up your chit-chat while Rarity gets your measurements and asks what kind of clothing she should make.
- > You are about to make your leave as you hear Rarity wanting your attention.
- > ”Anon wo... would you like to stay here for the night..?”
- > The what now
- > ”You'd save the bits you received from princess Celestia and wouldn't have to go around the town with the press pestering you.”
- > She seems to have an ulterior motive, but you decide it is better to let it be for now.
- > It makes your life easier around here if you can avoid the public eye.
- > ”Alright then.”
- > Well whatever she has in mind you will most likely learn to know sooner or later.
- > You sit and look around while Rarity is working on your outfit and some other outfits at the same time.
- > Hopefully she won't get them mixed up.
- > ”Excuse me miss Rarity, where is the..”
- > ”Oh please Anon. Just Rarity is fine..”
- > ”Alright. Where can I find the restroom?”
- > ”Just go up the stairs and go left. While you are up there do you mind going to the attic and bringing me more of these mannequins?”
- > She points over to elaborate.
- > ”Sweetie Belle and her friends broke few of them when they were playing ”Cutie Mark Crusaders King of Fighters” or something along the lines.”
- > ”Will do.” You stand up and decide to go to the attic for starters.
- > It's your typical attic, cramped full of stuff you can't bring yourself to throw away.
- > Chairs and tables, cupboards and what not. Even some paintings.
- > Luckily the mannequins are right at the front so you don't have to work your way past everything.
- > There is an acoustic guitar leaning agaisnt the back of a chair by the wall.
- > It's pony sized, but seems to be in good shape.
- > You didn't know even the first thing about acoustic guitars or about playing an instrument for that matter.
- > You pick it up and skim over it.
- > Heh. Why not?
- > You have the song on your mind, now if you only could...
- > Muscle memory kicks in and you start playing.
- > Startled, you interrupt almost right after starting.
- > What was that?
- > You go for it again.
- > Surely enough, you start playing.
- > Like programmed, your hands know what to do.
- > Which string or fret to use, what it's supposed to sound like.
- > After playing your song you start to tune the guitar.
- > ”Hmm... sounds like it's out of tune.”
- > You wince a bit and lay the guitar back on the chair.
- > What was that about. You don't actually know what it's supposed to sound like.
- > You grab the mannequins and take them downstairs for Rarity.
- > Still lost in thoughs, you receive your thank-you's and walk back upstairs.
- > While you are at the restroom you check your asscheeks for any cutie marks.
