1) Though I’d heard of it, I didn’t even know what the book was about until I just looked it up.
Sounds stupid.
2) Well, that’s relative. I was drunk once at midnight; that’s the start of the next day. Can’t get any earlier than that.
3) Earth pony. Not because I’ll get the horn back, because I’d rather be an earth pony. Earth pony’s never have trouble getting jobs. Physical labor is always on demand.
4) Okay.
5) I’ve never seen Frontier, but I’ll go with green-hair girl.
6) I’ve heard Rarity talk about that experience. Doesn’t sound too wonderful. Bon-Bon’s tried, but Sweetie doesn’t want lessons.
7) I’ll try.
1) I hope that number is toll-free!
2) Uh… I guess? Environment has a lot to do with growing up.
3) Some. Any genre is capable of producing complete garbage. I pick and choose.
Edit: To elaborate, Dynasty Warriors generally adds a lot of extra and varied tones to their “buttrock”. Dynasty Warriors 3 and 7 would probably be the best examples (though admittedly I skipped over 6).
4) Nope. I believe you win this round.
5) I’ll… have to ask Spike next time I see him what those rumors are.
6) Uh… Tears of pure joy?
Doesn’t seem very super.
7) Absolutely!
But need and want are two different things. That’s why I have Boscov!
W’re’d er'rypony’s naims go?!
1) Okay.
And?
2) Pretty sure they’re made up. Like the Homestuck Anime.
3) She doesn’t talk too much! She just knows how to get and keep a conversation going! Very useful talent.
4) Honestly, it’s not that different. Just because I don’t believe in cosmic good and evil doesn’t mean I think everypony should be free to commit whatever horrid acts they can get away with. Society can’t sustain itself like that.
So no, it hasn’t.
5) It’s just a thing. I don’t feel it changes anypony’s viewpoint about her, whatever it may have already been.
6) Uhhh…
7) No, I don’t have Steam. Too much temptation to buy something I can’t afford.
1) I got some stuff to do during the day, but I’ll try.
And sorry. I know we haven’t talked much this week. Just been a little more going on than I’ve been used to lately.
2) I think most unicorns feel that way. When it comes down to it we’re sort of weak.
3) Most things, certainly!
4) A classic.
Of course, the original song has a very different meaning.
5) Like an official judge? I’ve only really been around a judge while being sentenced myself. I certainly didn’t like it, but I guess I knew I deserved it on some level, where shame overpowered anger.
If you just mean anypony who’s ever held somepony else’s life in their hooves and did something horrible… Well, a lot would be an understatement.
6) I don’t have any.
That was quick and painless for both of us!
7) Protecting yourself involves using the skills you have, not crippling yourself behind somepony else’s idea of strength.
1) I don’t think it’s illegal.
2) Technically twice. I went to bed in the A.M. Then I had some stuff to do around town this morning.
3) Pretty young. Wasn’t forced to or anything, but… Well I’ve made a lot of mistakes.
4) Stop asking stupid questions.
5) Hulk Lyra’s friend.
6) Seems to.
7) I know this one. They’re usually shorter words, like Ant, Bee, Cat; that sort of thing.
B: Z is Zander and U is Urchin. You were right about S being Snake, though. From the reports, he does a lot of negotiations these days.
CYOA #87
You decide to cross Amy and Twists plans together, which Princess says is just as well. The group probably took too long planning to make racing the shadow to the front a possibility.
At a reasonable clip, you and your friends continue down the hallway while also checking the rooms you pass by. All this while doing your best to at least outpace the monster behind you and trying to listen for signs of its location. You can’t hear anything, though. At least not yet.
The rooms aren’t completely empty. There’s black stains on the floor here and there. Tiny pieces of splintered wood or occasionally a jade screw. The stains always lead to the main hallway, as though something was dragged out. But the hallways itself shares no signs. You’ve also managed to get ahead of the fog. Must take longer to form this far in from the front door.
The hallway circles around to reveal a northern passage. Down that hall is what appears to be the back of a stairway leading to the second floor. The circular hallway also seems to circle back around toward the front door. But there’s no indication which way the shadow is coming from, if it’s even coming from that direction.

Be on the lookout for these crazy ponies
Why are they dressed like that? Are they going to a costume party?
1) You humans really should be more careful about what you put on your “internet.” Only have to stumble upon one set of schematics to replicate them.
2) C-CEO? Wow, that was fast! Congratulations!
3) I’m trying to lose weight.
4) Do we… have any?
5) Yeah. I didn’t think it was that bad.
6) If you insist.
1) Oh. That sounds familiar, but I never checked it out.
See, I like the Deus Ex games, but I’m just a fan of the games. The world’s lore is too sparse. They do a great job of wrapping everything up into a neat little package in each title, but that leaves so much unexplained between games. Makes for a great game, but doesn’t do much for a fandom. And that’s what any decent fandom is built upon; the world in which the story takes place.
2) Do any substantial number of humans pick berries out of trees or eat walnuts they find on the ground daily? Same thing.
3) That’s an awful specific sound.
4) I get the feeling we’re having difficulty striking a balance.
5) Lyra was never simple pony. Unimaginative bronies spread rumors about Lyra and make Lyra out to be simple pony. Lyra sad Hulk sad. Lyra sorry Lyra not simple, but Lyra not changed. Lyra get Hulk Klondike Bar.
6) I certainly have.
1) What’s that supposed to mean? How would I know?
2) Does everything have to turn into a conflict with you anons?
3) I never said I didn’t like it at all. It’s complicated and I don’t feel like talking about it.
4) I’ve never felt that hurting them would help anything, and it wouldn’t make me feel better.
Though I was given a fairly good chance with the third one. Cels I hate him.
5) I wasn’t even talking about protecting others. I was talking about protecting myself.
And I can protect myself.
6) Our past shapes what we become. It doesn’t dictate who we are.
7) Martial arts? Sorry, your martial arts doesn’t have the power to switch pony’s bodies.
1) Woah woah woah. If that’s all you got out of that post then you’re better off forgetting you ever read it.
2) I’m sure it was all supposed to be temporary.
3) …
Well, thanks anyway…
4) You’re up, B.
…
B: The letters have no correlation with who they’re assigned to. V is new; I’ve yet to hear of anything noteworthy about him. I don’t know that I’ve ever met the current X at all. He and V are two of the new ones. T’s nickname is Tick. Most of the nicknames are associated with animals.
B: P is a little strange. P is supposed to be Panda, but he wants everypony to call him Peacock. There is no Q of CUE; there’s only twenty-five of us. I don’t recall Z being sleepy. I is pronounced in conversation as one. U is pronounced as either “oo” or “un.” How big is giant? Most, if not all of us can cause ourselves to expand at least a little, it’s just never a wise decision to make yourself a larger target.
5) B: Yes. Alphabet. As in Human English alphabet. The ponynet may be relatively new, but we’ve known about you humans for quite some time.
6) B: Well, there’s a reason everypony says D is a [omitted].
He really is. When does he retire?
B: Next year.
You know, I could give Sweetie Belle some lessons in wrestling.
1) Should I? Does it update or something?
2) I guess CUE would be more like Majestic 12, but it’s not like they’re secretly running the country. They just protect ponies from the things they don’t need to worry about. No pony should have to live in fear.
3) B!
B: Why do you want to know? Huh? What difference would it make to you?
B! Get.. off!
B: I’m watchin’ you.
4) Princess Celestia was never elected.
5) Well, if I’m performing, that means I’m making money. And considering my less than ideal financial situation, I’d have to pick that one.
6) Evidently it’s not the knowledge itself, but proving the possession of the knowledge…
Don’t ask.
7) I guess so. When you get older your reflexes get slower. You don’t want to lose control and accidentally crash into somepony, possibly hurting not only yourself but them too.
8) That sounds like a good idea to me! I’ve been trying to help her with boxing, but another martial art would be great!
Still working on catching up. But It looks like it’s a long way to go.
1) Mature, highbrow comedy.
2) No, I’m Equestrian.
3) You jerk! What am I supposed to do with three months of newspapers?! Read about the news that’s no longer relevant?!
Is what I would have said if my newspapers had been mysteriously disappearing for the last three months. They haven’t.
4) I’ve been waiting to use this.
5) An interesting phenomenon, but it’s just media blowing things out of proportion. 99.99% of appointments ending without incident? That means that pretty much every single one of those 0.01 fights are being recorded. And is that surprising? My manedroid can record videos and it isn’t even a high-end model. And out of everypony in the building, only one of them needs to grab their phone to record and upload it.
An interesting news story to watch, but it’s meaningless fluff. Also, watching ponies breakdown into a psychotic episode isn’t going to teach anypony how to fight. Though it might reinforce its usefulness for self-defense.
6) Doesn’t seem necessary, no. But I’ve heard that there’s this place on Human Earth called the Autobahn, and it’s illegal for your automobile to breakdown while on it.
Sorry, everypony. I got behind. Going to take a while to catch up.
1) Sorry. I don’t have any experience with insomnia. I used to have Hypersomnia but it seems to have mostly gone away. Do you have anything to add B?
B: Yeah. Quit [omitted] and count yourself lucky.
2) Neigh?
B: I suppose “buzz buzz” would be appropriate.
3) B: The [omitted] is that?
I don’t know. I think some of my followers are under the assumption I speak this human language called japanese.
4) Oh, okay.
5) Such is the difference between somepony with power and somepony without.
Of course, these days I’m capable of defending myself.
B: Within reason.
Within reason.
6) I looked it up, but the game is still in alpha. Why are you using explicit past tense on a game that hasn’t been released yet?
I have not, though.
