>You are Princess Luna
>The Tantabus had just escaped you once again after corrupting Twilight Sparkle's dream.
>You had managed to follow it into another one before it could lose you once again.
>Unfortunately, this dream did not resemble anyone you had already visited.
>Which means the Tantabus had found another dream to invade.
>One of the six ponies must have dreamed of somepony.
>Which makes your mission all that more difficult.
>Right now another innocent pony was being tortured by your creation.
>This is all your fault...
>You shift your attention to the landscape below you, pushing those thoughts away for the moment.
>The town of Ponyville serves as the setting of this dream.
>From above you can see it is alive with ponies going about your their day.
>None of them looked frightened in the least.
>There is also no signs of the Tantabus' corrupting influence that you can see.
>A worm of doubt niggles at you.
>Had you made a mistake?
>As you soar over the town's center, you spy something that gives you pause.
>Six familiar ponies are gathered around a lone bench.
>All their attention was to be trained on one peculiar being.
"Anonymous?"
>Could this be his dream?
>It seemed rather tame for the human.
>His dreams were always entertaining in how strange they could be.
>Without any better leads, you make a landing in front of the group.
>The ponies ignore your presence entirely, continuing to chatter amongst themselves.
>Anonymous raises his head up towards you, a sullen look on his face.
>"Hey Luna."
"Greetings Anonymous, this is your dream correct?"
>He sighs.
>"Yep."
"Apologies for intruding into your slumber, but I am on the hunt for an entity that has been haunting the dreams of your friends."
>You scan the idyllic town for any sign of the parasite.
"It is good that the Tantabus has not ruined your dream, though I am afraid I may have lost it."
>The human cocks his head.
>"Does it look like a swirling, blue mass of energy?"
>Blinking, you turn to look at him.
"Yes, exactly."
>"Yeah, it came through here. Left already though."
>Your brow comes down in confusion.
"I do not understand. If it has entered your dream, why does everything look ordinary?"
>Anonymous deigns to not answer you, instead sinking farther into the bench while staring ahead at nothing.
>You make to inquiry further but the ramblings of the ponies steadily increase in volume.
>"BOOKS!MAGIC!FRIENDSHIP!"
>"AWESOME!WONDERBOLTS!FAST!
>"PARTY!SMILE!CAKE!"
>"DARLING!FASHION!BOYS!!!"
>"A-animals, kindness, um..."
>"APPLES!APPLES!APPLES!"
>You cringe at the onslaught while the scowl on Anonymous' face deepens.
>"Fucking ponies..."
