>You be Anon >Been in Poneville for a while, found out quickly upon arrival that these creatures are not very good at something called, "Logic." >One time, you went along with Princess Starbutt and friends for, "and Adventure of a Lifetime!" >Said adventure mostly consisted of sitting on a train. >And sitting in a room, waiting for Princess face to get out of some important conference. >And more sitting, but at least this one was entertaining. >You got to see zebras fight to the death for entertainment, which was breddy gud. >After that, though, you went straight to the hotel room. >You had no idea that small colorful equines were capable of making liquor that could knock you on your ass with one nice, long chug. >Trying some in the middle of watching a bloody, desperate fight was not a good idea. >"You're not gonna be coming along with us on trips for a while, Anon." >After that ordeal, you went back to living your shitty life and wishing that these ponies had some common sense. >The three snack-sized ones kept crashing through your window every morning when you woke up. >Nobody gave two shits. >Then, bright idea comes around. >One day, you set up a stand that says: "Advice for all of your problems: 5 cents" >First hoers to pass by is none other than Rarara >"Darling, what's a 'cents?'" "Umm, It's a form of currency. Most notably known by the fact that they are usually in coin form." >"..." "You don't know what fucking money is?" >"Oh, money! Darling, I don't know what they used where you came from, but we use Bits here." >Bits >Bits >BITS >What the fuck kinda name is that for a form of currency? "What the fuck are bits?" >"It's the money that we use here in Equestria, darling. They look like this." >She pulls out a gold coin from... where? >Holy shit they use gold coins >When you go back to Earth, you're gonna be rich! >But you have to earn the money first. "Okay, thanks for the help. I'll get to changing the sign." >Go back inside your house, which smells like death itself. "Where the fuck did I put that marker and shit..." >After a half an hour of searching, you find the last giant post-it note and marker. "Thank god." >You scrawl out "Professional Help and Advice, " "Fuck, I should have asked how much a bit is worth. Fuck it." >"Professional Help and Advice, 5 bits per problem" >Under that, you add, "Dr. Anon, PhD" >Fucking Genius. >Go back outside and plaster the paper onto the table you're using as a desk. "Now, we wait." >evilgrin.jpg   >"Wow, help and advice for 5 bits! I need that!" >Random pone walks up to you >"H-h-h... Hello, sir. I would like some help and advice." "Bits first. Then we talk." >You point to a small jar that you have sitting on the table. >"Uhm-uh.. okay." >He digs up a few coins. >rattlerattlerattle.mp3 >Ahh, the sweet sound of money. >The guy even sounds like a betafag, though. >The kind that does nothing but watch Pokémon all day. "Okay, what do you need help with?" >He sits on the ground in front of you with a nervous grimace >He's not talking >This isn't good. >"Sir, I need help. I'm going to have to do the ritual sooner or later, as I'm done with school and almost ready for a job. But I'm really nervous about it. My dad is-" "Wait, what ritual?" >"You don't know about the ritual? Did you even have a foalhood?" >ohshit.jpg "Let me get one thing clear with you. I do not come from here. To be honest with you, I didn't even know what bits were until 5 minutes ago. I've clearly still got some things to learn. So if you could please explain the whole 'ritual' thing to me, that would be perfect. Then I can help you." >He looks like he's about to burst into a big, long, fast explanation. >"To put it simply, the stallion ritual is a tradition that's been going on for a long time. It's used as a way to prove that a colt has really grown up." >So far, so good. >"To do the ritual, colts have to challenge their dad in combat, defeat him, and then... umm..." >You wonder what he's so nervous about with the second part. >Until he says it. >"mount... their... mom... and..." "You don't need to finish that sentence." >So incest is a tradition in this place. >Fucking Wow. That's some nightmare fuel for days. "And you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY have to do it?" >"Yes. If I want to have any semblance of normalcy in this world, anyway." >You hold your head in your hands. >What >the >fuck >is >up >with >these >small >colorful >equines?
