>A few seconds after that last sentence, the words "Level Up!" appeared over his head once again "Alright, now how do I do this again?" >Anon jumped over and over again, attempting to grab the words >Like last time, he didn't succeed "Shit. So how the hell am I supposed to..."Level Up" anyw-" >His vision blurred again and he froze in place >Twilight gave a deadpan look   "Oh boy, here we go again."   Choose a Skill to Level Up   Strength. Stamina. Magic   "Uh...Stamina?"   Choose a Perk! ( ) Flight ( ) Molten Fire-breath ( ) Cool-looking bandanna   "Oh Oh Oh! I want the bandanna!   Fucking seriously?   >The words mocked him "Shut up. It's my choice."   >He was able to move again >Anon felt around his head to confirm what he felt >A bandanna was tied around his head, the ends flowing in the wind even though there wasn't a draft "Cool!" >"Anon, what in Celestia's name is going on?" "Like I said, I have no idea. It's fuckin' weird, but so far nothing bad's happened." >"Other than you freezing in place?" "Oh come on, It's not like it hurt or anything." >Twilight facehooves >"That's not the point. Something seriously wrong could be happening in P0nyville." "Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. Why must you assume the worst when strange shit happens?' >"Because the worst could be happening!" "Just chill out, dude! Look, if anything bad -does- happen, you'll be the first to know. Now I gotta skedaddle. Supposed to be helping out at the farm today and I'm late." >"You know Applejack's going to try to rape you again, right?" "Well duh. Why do you think I asked for the invincibility spell?" >"And how do you plan on dealing with her?" "Same as usual. Just wing it. Somehow I'm always able to get away. No idea why, guess I'm just that lucky." >And on that, Anon left the library   >Anon approached the farm. He was greeted by Big Mac >"Howdy, Anon. How come yer so late?" >Suddenly the heads up display disappeared, only to be replaced by a wheel of sorts in the bottom center of Anon's vision >On the right of the wheel were three sentences, each saying something different >The one on the top read, "Business at the Library" >The one in the middle said "I was busy" >The one at the bottom said "Fuck off" >Seeing this, Anon hesitated a bit before realizing Big Mac was waiting for a response >But not waiting impatiently...it was like he was waiting for Anon to choose one of the sentences >Anon looked at the top sentence "Sorry, Mac. I had to ask Twilight about a spell." >"That's alright, just go on and get to carryin' the bushels couldja?" >Big Mac started walking back to the orchard >Anon, remembering his strength upgrade, decided on something different "Hey, Mac. How about you let me try apple bucking?" >Big Mac turned around and gave Anon a confused look >"Anon, y'know yer not strong enough ta knock them apples out, right?" "I've..beeen working out?" >Big Mac sighed and motioned Anon over with a hoof >He led Anon to a tree with baskets underneath and pointed at it >"Go on and try." >Anon reared up and charged the tree, ramming it with his shoulder >To his, and Big Mac's, surprise the tree shook, knocking every apple out of it and into the baskets >"Well I'll be...looks like ya have been workin' out. Good work, now we can get today's buckin' done early." >Anon nodded and picked up a bushel >The empty white square in the top right corner of his vision was graced with an exact portrait of the bushel he carried "Whoah...inventory."   >Anon spent most of the afternoon knocking trees around. >When the work day was finished, Big Mac thanked him and carried the last of his bushels to the basement. Anon picked up his last few bushels and followed >With the apples in place, Anon popped his back and turned around to exit the cellar >The map flashed   Rapist Incoming   >A red dot was slowly moving towards the cellar door >Anon felt the urge to re-tie his bandanna, completely serious'd the fuck up afterwards >He walked over and crouched behind a bushel, steadying his breathing to keep the silence >"Oh Anon, ah was hopin' ta reward ya fer helpin' out today." >Anon heard trotting down the stairs, followed by hooves hitting the dirt >"Ah know yer in here. Ah just saw ya come in." >Anon crept behind another bushel closer to the exit >"Huh? Who's footprints're these?" >Anon, hearing this panicked and crept out from behind the bushel, making his way towards the exit >"Hey!" >He turned around to see a red exclamation mark appear above Applejack's head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phhjTVbzhKM >Anon dodge-rolled to Applejack and knocked her down with a quick one-two punch kick combo   ALERT 99.0   >Anon ran out of the cellar as quickly as he could >Once he was out of Applejack's sight the number began to drop >Anon ran to the barn and hid inside   BACK IN THE APPLE CELLAR >"Aw, my achin' head. Arrrgh, that's it!" >Applejack produced a two-way radio from nowhere KRRSH >"HQ!" **THIS IS HQ** >"A'mma need backup here." **CONFIRMED. HOLD YOUR POSITION, BACKUP'S ON THE WAY**   IN THE BARN   CAUTION 01.1   BINGBING   "I...guess that means I'm okay?" >Anon rose from the pile of hay he was hiding in and slowly opened the barn door >Several men in combat uniforms and ski masks carrying assult rifles were patrolling the area >Anon jumped back "What in the fuck? Other humans? And they have guns?!" >Anon surveyed the situation >It was either attempt to sneak past the crazy humans and risk getting filled with lead >Or stay here and wait for the metaphorical rape truck to metaphorically lodge itself up his metaphorical ass >The choice was clear >He opened the barn door and watched for the patrolman outside to shift his view >He turned around and Anon took the chance, exiting the barn and running to the fence >Another guard was walking on the path >Anon went prone and layed his cheek on the grass >"Hmm?" >A question mark appeared over the guard's head >"Must've been my imagination." >Hearing this, Anon rose quietly and climbed over the fence >Anon then grabbed him around the neck from behind and squeezed rapidly >"UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-" CRACK >Anon dropped the guard on the ground "Holy shit, man! Are you alright?" >Anon poked the body "Dude?" >He picked up the body and shook it a bit, but no response >He dropped the body. As soon as it hit the ground a circular canister jumped up from the dead guard's chest and hovered ahove the ground where it landed, spinning in place >Anon examined it for a moment before swiping his hand through it >It disappeared and was replaced with the word "Ration". The word faded after a second >The ration appeared in his inventory   "Weird. Fucking. Day."   >Anon walked home
