>So there you are, just minding your own business then BAM! >Some stupid little wachamacallit slams right into you! [HEY! I'm flying here!] >Not being the airborne sky master you claim to be, you take a few seconds to rebalance yourself. >You look after it. A small black streak traces off into the distance. >It’s fast. [Jahvise.] >**Already tracing it, Sir.** >The loading symbol appears on your screen as you speed off for whatever mad pony thought it was a good idea to hit a flying metal can with lasers. >**Sir, I cannot track the pony. It’s biological signature is not on my records..** [What do you mean? I programmed you to follow the BioSigs of earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns.] >**Yes, I know. The issue is that THING is none of those.** >None of them? But that’s impossible. >All griffons you’ve seen have been brown and white, never black. Besides, it was too small to be a griffon. >Flying dragons are never that small either. Jahvise is malfunctioning, it MUST be a pony! >Well…what else could it be? [Can you follow a heat trail?] >**No. The being emits no heat for me to follow.** [W-well…] >**I looked over everything, Sir. I cannot track it.** >Well shoot. [Jahvise, save this location and what direction we we’re heading in.] >**Saved.** >Hopefully the whatever continues to fly straight and you can come back later. Right now its party time!   >Kind of! >You arrive where Pinkie said the party would be but it’s more of a get-together. >Just the usual 6 gals and a couple others. >What, nobody likes you suit? >Stupid, uneducated mongrels. >No one can seem to appreciate science here but Twilight and even her insignificant brain pales in comparison to your superior human mind. >Wow, whered that come from? >You racist son of a gun. >Oh well, just pass it off— >No! Don’t pass it off! Ever since you got here, whenever something strange happened you brushed it aside and told yourself to check back later, only to never do it. >You know what? Time to think! >Grabbing a couple *cough* dozen *cough* bottles of beer and stuffing them into a sac, you say goodbye to the girls. [Thanks Pinkie. I really do feel a lot better.] >”Oh really? That’s great, Anon!” >Whatever unintelligible sentence was escaping her mouth was unheard to you, as your jets carried you off into the sky. [Jahivse, load the save point.]     >Wow, what a sense of accomplishment. >You haven’t even done anything yet but fly straight for 2 hours and yet you feel like you’re finally getting things done. [J-Jahvise are we almost home yet?] >**You weren’t going home, Sir. You wanted to follow the strange creature from earlier.** [Oh yeah dash right.] >Your faceplate opens up, allowing all the wind to blow into your eyes. >With them closed, you pop open a beer bottle and hold it out in front of you. The liquid courage pours from the bottle and directly into your mouth. >You’ve had…lots of practice. >Why do ponies even have beer bottles? >… >Oh yeah! You’re following blacks. >**Sir, my maps say we’re entering Changling Isle.** [Changlan Whatle?] >**Changling Isle. Home of the changelings.** [Well fancy that! Imma make some new friends tonight!] >Your bag falls from your shoulder. >You would be sad if it weren’t empty.     >**Pony Law, last updated 3 years ago, clearly states no ponies are allowed within a 3 hooflometer radius of the island.** [Hoofwhameter?] >**On Earth it would be kilometers.** […] >**Think of miles but not.** [Oh pish posh, I'm not a pony! I can do whuever I want! I can even go poopies if I want!] >**Please don’t.** [I NEVAH SAID I WUS GOING TOO!] >With that, a warm stream of liquid runs down your leg in the armor. >**Sir…** [Thas not pee…] >You giggle and land on a tall rock right outside the island. >Time to enter a new…time to enter a new paradise. >I said, time to enter a new paradise. >Come on leg, move. >Leg? [Jahvise kum on man don’t even be lake that.] >**I will unlock the armor in the morning when you are sober again.** [Jahvise iss my armer en I can do whu I wan with itz.] >**You’re too drunk for your own good.** >Curse his logic and your drowsiness. >Maybe it would be best to catch a few Zs anyway. [J-Jahvise?] >**Yes, Sir?** [Ah love yew.]  >**I love you too.**
