>"So are you gonna say anything or are you just gonna follow me around silently all day?" >You are silently following Applejack around. You think she does too much work that could be simplified. >For example, applebucking. >To harvest an orchard, Applejack has to: >Put buckets under a tree. >Kick the tree. >Move the apples back to a barn or somewhere. >Move on to the next tree. >Repeat ad nauseum. "Do the roots of the apple trees overlap at all?" >"What? Yeah, ah guess they do. Why?" "No reason. Unrelated side note, could you put buckets under all the trees for me?" >"Ah suppose." >And she sets off to do what you told her to. What a pleasant fellow. >You stop being in Sweet Apple Acres >And start being in the library. >Twilight is reading some esoteric tome of knowledge. It looks pretty heavy. "'Sup Twi." >"Uh huh." >She isn't even slightly surprised at you being here. >Then again, you do sleep here, whether she wants you to or not. "I'm bored." >"Uh huh." "When I'm bored, I do things you don't like." >"Uh huh." "The gist of this conversation is that I want you to tell me to do something." >She thinks briefly. >"Dig a hole and bury yourself." >Huzzah! >You slide out a nearby window, wriggling like a gecko's tail that's been cut off. >You glance around for a spade, and find one leaning against the library. >Convenient. >You grasp the handle tightly, and thrust the spade into the soft earth. >Evidently this shovel is very poorly made, because it just shattered. >Inconvenient. >This is the exact sort of situation you want to know how to use telekinesis for. >You give up on using tools, and start digging with your bare hands. >In about three hours, you've dug a hole that's deeper than you are tall. >Now, if you had telekinesis, you'd just use that to drop the soil on you, thereby burying you. >But no, you have to do this the hard way. >You punch the wall of your pit hard enough to avalanche the loose dirt around it. >You are now buried. It's very dark. >That was fun. >You consider how you're managing to breathe. >Dirt has lots of holes in it, because it's made up of loads of dirt particles, so air can get in through there. >Crisis averted! >What now? >You start swimming through the dirt, pushing it behind you as you move, until you are roughly underneath the library. >Then, you swim up. >You break through the floor of the library, only mildly shocking Twilight. >"Why did I expect otherwise?" >She slumps down, dejected and defeated. >You dust yourself off. "Anything else you want me to do?" >Silence for a short moment. >"I have some things that need to be delivered to Canterlot. Since you can do the whole 'teleporting without any effort whatsoever' thing, you could do it faster and easier than I could." >There's a problem with that. "Don't be silly, I can't just start being wherever I want! I have to figure out how to get there first, or I might get lost on the way, and who knows where I'd end up!" >More silence. >"You have to go somewhere before you can teleport there?" >You nod. >"Just take these to the Canterlot Royal Archives. I don't care how." >She passes you a small cardboard box with her damned telekinesis. >It feels like it's filled with books. Makes sense, even if it is a little mundane. >You salute her and set off for the train station. >Arriving at the train station, you consider the best way to get on without paying any money. >Ditching the idea of a plan, as you do, you stride with purpose towards the carriage you're going to board. >You smile at the ticket master and give him a quick wave. >He smiles back, and doesn't suspect a thing. >Time for a really boring train ride! >Screw that! >You climb out the window on the opposite side of the train, and onto the roof. >You lie down, get comfortable, and go to sleep. >Time passes, the train barrels along it's tracks at an unreasonable speed. >You awaken as the train reaches Canterlot Station. >Falling off the train, you stretch and yawn. >What a lovely nap. >But enough about sleep, wonderful as it is. It is time to deliver a package! >You slide through the streets of Canterlot unabated. >You walk all the way up to the castle before being stopped by a guardsman. >"Halt! State your name and intention!" "Anon Yttri Mous. I'm here to deliver some books to the Royal Canterlot Archives." >"Go right in, sir!" >Wow. How very secure. >You skip and prance through the castle like you own the place before eventually finding yourself in the Royal Canterlot Archives. >Lacking any knowledge of where to go from here, you sneak up behind a guard and cough. "Ahem." >He freaks out a bit. >"What?! How in blazes did you get here?" "I got lost on the way to the kitchen. Anyway, do you-" >"You ended up in the most secure part of the Royal Canterlot Archives on the way to the kitchen?" "No, I ended up in Ponyville on the way to the kitchen. I just sort of walked in here. Now-" >"How do you just walk in here?!" >You give him your most disapproving glare, and lean over him. He looks a bit frightened. "Shut up, and let me speak. I'm trying to deliver a parcel. Where is this meant to go?" >He takes the box and inspects it carefully. >"You have to take this to the pony in reception." "Thank you!" >You stop being where you are >And start being in reception. "Here, hold this." >You foist off the box onto the pony at the counter. >You stop being in Canterlot >And start being in the library at Ponyville. >You tap your foot on the wooden floor as loudly as you can. >Twilight pops her head in from upstairs. "I sent it." >You stop being in the library >And start being in Sweet Apple Acres. >Trees as far as the eye can see. >All of them have buckets for catching apples under them. "Applejack!" >You see an orange speck in the distance start moving. >You stop being over here >And start being over there. "So, are you ready to buck some apples?!" >"Actually, ah'm pretty tired, Anon." "Too bad!" >You trace a line from apple to tree to earth to tree again. >Should work. "And, go!" >You stomp the ground as hard as you can, and wait. >Two, three, four- >And then every tree in the entire orchard starts dropping apples like they're on fire. >It's quite cacophonous, a whole farms worth of apples falling to the ground at once. "Well, that went well!" >Applejack's head droops, and she goes to pick up a bucket of apples. "Allow me." >You take a running jump, and stop being where you are >And start being in line with a bucket of apples >You grab the bucket, stop being there >And start being in one of Applejacks cellars, where she stores apples. >Drop the bucket, stop being there >Start being in line for another bucket. >I goes on like that for a while. >Eventually, you place the last bucket of apples in the cellar, stop being there >And start being over Twilight's bed. >You fall onto the bed at roughly terminal velocity. >Luckily, Twilight was on the opposite side of the bed, and is harmlessly lunched off. "Evening, Twilight. I'm going to sleep now." >She grumbles and starts to walk off. "Hey, maybe if you'd teach me how to use telekinesis, I wouldn't have to do as much heavy lifting, and I wouldn't be so tired."
