Another Moniker story?
And so far... I'm getting a heavy Resident Evil vibe from this...
Even though it isn't.
I await the next part with joy.

This is one of the best things I have ever read. Please, please keep writing more.

There was a hole here. It's gone now.
3569666
Sure.
Hmm, I get a 1984 vibe from this. Interesting.
I'm not sure if finding this funny is a good thing. I guess the comedy tag makes it alright though. Oh, be right back, there's a cloaked figure outside my door.

Shadow government police states are popular, it seems. Orson Welles knew it better than most.
3570014
Do not be alarmed. Try not to make any loud noises. Don't forget to remove your pilot light. You are perfectly safe.
The more I read about Night Vale the less I want to listen to Night Vale.
3570083
But how else will you learn about the dangers of the Glow Cloud or get updates on the sports events against Desert Bluffs High School?
They're awful.
3570070
I'm starting to feel that 'perfectly safe' is anything but.
Not sure what to say to all of this but I'll be sure to read the next chapter.
3570217
Well, relatively safe.
3570228
Sssh. Ssh ssh sssssshhh.
Don't say anything at all. It's already too late for you. Don't waste your breath.
If I had a mouth and a voice similar to Mister Ceee-e-e-ee--il, I would read this out loud.
Two of my favorite things together. And well done too! Have a mustache
3570615
That would definitely be fun.
3570917
Thank you! Sea Silt has what some would consider an average amount of facial hair for a stallion of his age, gender, and species.
Oh this will be great. So will Lyra have "such wonderful hair!"?
Things I didn't know I really wanted until now: this crossover. So glad to have found it, and happier still that it seems to be in capable hands.
3571299
She already has such wonderful hair, with a dignified touch of grey at the temples, because she's absolutely perfect in every way.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Tune in next week for our new broadcast.
Who is the narrorator? The Nightvale reporter is Cecil, but who is it for ponyville?
3574075
The narrorator's name is Sea Silt, as Lyra's letter shows.
...A Welcome to Night vale crossover?? All my YES!
*goes to read*
I didn't know this was a thing I wanted till I saw it.
Listeners, the Princess of the Night has been spotted by locals in their dreams. It appears each time she is rapidly digging a hole in the ground. One citizen reported seeing pony sized hole before being banished from sleep. A day later, the pony was observed wandering the town at midnight, screaming incoherently. After the matter was brought to her attention, Luna dismissed such claims as fanciful dreaming. She later stated that she was definitely not relapsing into Nightmare Moon. And that disposing of a pony's essence in the dream of another rarely ever has side effects.
This is becoming a REALLY creepy radio show...
...
Do go on.
~Skeeter The Lurker
And I doubt he'll be the last, especially given the source material's penchant for losing interns. They're the red shirts of Night Vale xD
Also, I can't help but hear this in Cecil's voice when I read it.
3581105
I wonder if those shadow government agents are related to our dear Princess of the Night in any way.
3592452
Will do, sir.
3592793
That's what I'm going for, most definitely. And yes, we'll definitely see a slew of interns in Ponyville Community Radio's future. Hell, you've already met three.
Oh god is it Street Cleaning day soon? Soon we will all wish we were as lucky as former Aardvarks coach Double Tab, even though he's awful.
I think you've captured the essence of the show well, but this seems to be an almost exact copy of the original "Welcome to Nightvale" material. How much is created by you?
Also, at the end, you need a proverb, like these:
Those are the first 10 proverbs from the original.
And Sea Silt x Lyra? (Please say yes...)
3595876
RUN. RUN. Street Cleaning Day!
3596494
Thanks! So far the only things I feel I've really pulled from the show itself are the references to the Park and the Library, as well as a handful of characters (Old Woman Josie, Carlos). I wanted to get a couple of things that Night Vale listeners were already familiar with, and then I can spend more time working on the things that make Ponyville unique rather than Night Vale. Things like the Walker in the woods or Sea Silt's ongoing campaign against Twilight Sparkle.
Hopefully after a few chapters, I'll have struck a solid balance between the iconic places and characters of Night Vale and the more specific problems and events only found in Ponyville. There will also be underlying stories that take place throughout several chapters, such as Ditzy Doo's current predicament. And yes. Sea Silt x Lyra is my OTP. She has such a wonderful mane.
3596604
So Twilight is like the Apache Tracker?
And Sea Silt says this about Lyra:
If only this were a real radio show...
My gosh, great job writing. I like the way Sea Silt just talks, and whatever's on his mind just comes out.
3596663
I started out thinking I'd cast Twi in the Apache Tracker/Steve Carlsburg slot, but I think I might take it a bit further now. There may actually be reasons that Sea Silt doesn't trust Twilight. Then again, remember that Cecil's not always the most reliable narrator, and neither is Sea Silt.
3597389
Glad you're getting a kick out of it!
Still going good. I'll check up on Miss Doo next week to see if she would like any supplies, despite her being perfectly safe. Of course, nothing bad could happen to me, a regular citizen, just wishing good will unto another.
3605380
Your chivalry will be noted, dear listener. We and the secret police who have been tailing you for four days thank you for your service to the community.
Why did I not know this was a thing

It is indeed a thing. What sort of thing it is has yet to be determined. Top scientists are working on it as we speak.

sry fgt toplel
What kind of "processing" are we taking about?
I really love this crossover, but I still have a desperate need for WTNV crossovers where Pinkie is the radio host and Twilight is Carlos.......
3894231
Not a bad idea. Twilight would be a great Carlos.
Sweet, a new chapter. Hilarious as ever, by the way.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.
