Without much direction, you remove your blanket and cover your head up with it before looking at the shadow again. Nothing happens, but then again the weave is thick enough that you can’t see through it. Evidently, you have to make eye contact with the giant for it to blind you. You add that to the knowledge that it doesn’t have to be consciously aware of you to use the power; it’s automatic.

You then whip the blanket out of the doorway, to which the giant immediately lifts and steps on it. You quickly try to tug at the blanket, but it doesn’t budge. Waiting a few seconds, the giant lifts its hoof again and you retrieve the blanket unharmed. The blanket might act as a physical barrier if the giant’s body is somehow harmful to touch, but using it as a shield seems impossible with out further direction.

You draw your multitool and inspect it. Small and large knife, bunch of screwdrivers, can and bottle opener, corkscrew, scissors, a few different files of varying coarseness, tiny ruler, reamer, magnifying glass, two kinds of saws, wire stripper, pliers, chisel, tweezers, toothpick you’ve never used as you question its sterility, some… thing with a hole in it for sewing, and a few other things you don’t rightly know the use for, the least of which being some kind of hook. Probably should have picked up the manual from your house while you were in town.

Oh hey! A ball-point pin! Forgot it had one of these!

1) I know, right? Only ever showed up to be a bright annoying eyesore before. What a useful feature it turned out to be!

2) I think that’s handled by the government. You’d have to talk to them.

3) Never ever ever.

4) Well, there you go.

5) Stein?

But you have a horn. How would that make me like you?

Anonymous asked: Have your jimmies been rustled recently?

Well, I had this and the other ten questions pretty much answered when my Celestia-[omitted] computer just crashed.

So yes. Jimmies have officially been rustled.

I’ll have to get to them tomorrow. Sorry ponies.

Original answer: “I call them sprinkles. They make ice cream colorful!”

Edit: Wait! The unsaved post retrieval function! You stupid yellow box; I love you! Post coming shortly!

My attempt at drawing myself as Puma from a scene in Gitaroo Man. Just a sketch while I see if I can take a dog and make it look more like a pony.

Brave Little Toaster!

1) Alright. I’m uh… I’m at your place. What is this stuff?

2) Of course! That movie was awesome! And it didn’t whimper around like a flippin’ Disneigh movie.

Remember that clown scene! Oh my Cels that scared the crud out of me! Out of me!

CYOA #72

image

You return to the doorway that leads into the boxed canyon. The shadow is still there and it doesn’t look like it’s going to give up and go away anytime soon. Being that it’s staring at the doorway, there’s absolutely no way to sneak past. Stupid giant stallion and his stupid… muscular body… Suddenly the shadows on its body seem to almost ripple with intense force. You place a hoof to your face and feel it getting warm. You steal a glance from inside the doorway at the shadow’s face and catch its vortex-like eyes. Instantly your vision darkens to an almost complete black before you pull your head back inside and gasp in fear, waiting for your vision to return.

Nope nope nope nope nope. What were you thinking?! Not gonna happen. Ever. Never ever ever.

————–

This is a puzzle-type situation. Eventually the shadow will give up and go away, but quite a bit of time will pass before then. Players can either continue to try and figure out how to proceed faster (or any number of other things), or vote to wait it out.

Here’s your inventory again.

1) Could check into a rehab clinic.

2) See, there’s this thing called business

3) Allow me to clarify.

Never mention this again.

4) All of it? The hay-all did you get me?

I’ll go over there tomorrow.

5) Please. A human would be too weak to even carry a pony on their back.

Plus you bipeds are slow as molasses. A domestic house cat could out run you.

No offense.

6) I bet news like that would have a massive effect on some.

1) I couldn’t decide if I wanted to link to a picture of Katt from Breath of Fire 2, or a clip of Katt Williams standup.

I choose neither.

2) One. Now never ask this again.

3) Let me take this time to remind you that once upon a time their marketing division okay-ed the following lyrics for an advert that I swear aired for years.

“If you really want to smile, put one in your mouth a while.”

4) And you’ll be my favorite anon if you pass me my drink.
