Exposition time! So, there's a lot more happening with the building and the situation is much more serious than previously revealed. I almost wonder if the repairs and renovations should continue, even when limited to daylight hours, as I imagine that nearly anything could upset whatever it is that's keeping things in balance. Of course, stopping the work could have the same effect. It's like Murphy's laws of combat, "Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing."
I was a little confused at the start of the conversation between Spring and Razz, I thought they might still be in Tabitha's office, having their conversation in front of Tabitha and Coco. Beyond that, I really enjoyed it as a good character moment and it provides even more insight into the way that Spring is thinking. Razz does have a backbone, though it's still growing in, and Spring may be surprised if she pushes too hard, too fast. If she backs him into a corner, even one filled with pillows and satin sheets...
7585469 Hiking should be hiking. I left that one alone.
Information! So much information!
What does it all mean?
It means this story can take a new turn if it wants...
That may be a typo in itself.
Always glad to have you here. So, are you an alpha or a beta?
7585538
Oops, I didn't connect 'path' and 'hiking'. Sorry about that.
You changed the first occurrence of Night Vision to Dark Vision, but you called her Night for the entire section after that. I should have been clearer about that. Sorry again.
7585544 Fixed!
Yep. Razz pretty much reacts as expected to being told he is a Beta... and it's not even phrased as "you're just not in charge or forceful, therefore you are a beta" or "Tabitha is at the center of our relationship, therefore she is the alpha." but as "I will always be in charge, you will be subservient."
The fact that kinky things appeal to Razz doesn't really help his emotional state, either...
I get the feeling that it's sorta a disservice to Tabitha to be concealing exactly how dangerous these rooms are... but Dark not knowing means that she might be completely wrong about it opening to a realm of nothing but fire.
7585587 That's one of the worst case scenarios. She doesn't know.
Dark waving the Royal flag here or what.

Yeah I know this is the MLP Wikia accepted flag,
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/78/Equestriaflag_S2E11.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20120424114935
but is it a flag when it hangs down and not something you can raise on a 'flag' pole?
? = do
Not stated as AM/PM (morning/afternoon), a striking clock has 2 first bells, even modern striking clocks are still done this way.
Razz doesn't think he's a beta, but I bet he'd LIKE to 'beat her' in more ways than one!
Sweetie has been ordered to drop the mental hammer on Tabs, she won't like that bit of subterfuge and will she accept Sweetie's original intention of moving in as valid?
7585873 It was evening. What first bell comes next? Of course, knowing could be part of the challenge. Rollover for me boy. Do it!
What Tabitha has to watch out for is a blue phone box appearing on the third floor, and the Yeti becoming somewhat concerned.
After all, noone wants to be the needle that causes local reality to fall into whereever through a quntum cascade failiure.
Maybe plugging Spring hard enough in the hole is all thats needed to stuff the problem.
7585900 Looked up thirteenth bell on Wikipedia, some court case invalidated a witness by saying his quoting of hearing thirteen bells was not valid so his testimony was stricken as false, or that's the gist I got. (edit: oh wait that was a fictional case...well some lawyer somewhere would try that reason anyway)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_stroke_of_the_clock
All striking clocks work on a 12 hour pattern (who would want to be woken up at midnight to 24 bells, clock would be out the window or Luna would have lightning zapped it to death) so there's a 1 bell after midnight and one after midday.
SNERK!!
7586041 While all valid... I'm not sure how this makes 'first bell' invalid.
7585989 As long as emo suits of armour don't start ghosting into reality everywhere or a big ball appears on the 4th floor and suddenly starts spewing angry pepper pots out, then you might want that blue box.
7586048 Not invalid, just wondered which one you meant AM or PM? Where did I say it was invalid?
7586084
13 strikes occur when the leap second is added.?
7586161 No std striking clock would have this as it's not a set point in time. The exception of maybe a 24 hour military (specifically Navy striker) may have 13 to 24 bells maybe, don't know on that one but possible I guess. II wouldn't mind having a Roman striking clock, high tone for 1 hour, low tone for 5 hours.
(e.g. 4 o'clock - IV, Ding, Bong, 11 - XI, Bong Bong Ding)
Anyway, this is getting off track, all I wanted to know was 1 AM or 1 PM, as it's not stated by Spring?
7586048 Hang on is this what you mean?
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/questions/bells.html
So 8:30PM? The Navy 24 hour thing had me thinking.
7586255 You're kind of proving you're a beta here.
7586324 Well I'm not a writer so I must be, or what are you referring to? .It's very early in the morning here, woke up at 4AM, sorry Mid 8 bells, started reading and commenting; not a good mix.
7586359 An alpha wouldn't be fussing so much about am or pm. They'd either go or not go after making a judgement call and if it was wrong, blame it, rightly, on Spring's poor explanation, then move on to business either way.
7586370 All I wanted was a little clarity?sorry Besides who talks in 200 year old navy time anymore and would understand in a majority? Don't have to bite my head off!
cherry
Sure...
Oh, beta at best. I'm definitely not an alpha.
Oh Razz, you just keep telling yourself that.
Alpha or Beta? We are Tsaukpaetra, tertiary adjunct of Unimatrix 08.
So our helpful Yeti is keeping the place from exploding? How kind.
Keep going! ;)
time to just think about this chapter.
