Woot new story!

a new hie coming out of the Silver stable this should be good.

7432680 I know, life isn't very fair at all like that.

Well, this was unexpected, at least somewhat. I took it as a given that we'd get a new story, but I thought it would pick up directly where the old one left off, rather than focusing on a new protagonist. Still, given that this is a "Silver Verse" tale, I'm expecting this to intersect with the main narrative soon...but given that this has Coco Pommel apparently just moving into the city (I presume this is her arrival in Manehattan), then this might not pick up right where Silver's story left off. In fact, given that Silver arrived just a little while before "Rarity Takes Manehattan" (near the beginning of season four), this seems like Tabitha is arriving at very nearly the same time. If that's the case, then she'll be having her adventures parallel to Silver, which will likely cut down on the crossover potential (otherwise we'd have seen her already).

The Text is being a bit more underhanded than usual. Tabitha's initial reply made no mention of Equestria specifically, nor did the Text's follow-up email - when asking if she'd "accept" if she also received clients - specify what exactly she'd be accepting. As such, this particular incident seems much more forced than the usual "I only open doors" modus operandi that the Text takes. I recognize that there's very little way around this when bringing over a human that isn't a brony, but even so it seems a bit out-of-character for the Text.

More unusual is that Tabitha is apparently disguised as a pegasus mare, despite retaining her human form to her eyes. That's going to cause problems, if only because pegasi are expected to be able to fly, which she - as a human - decidedly cannot do. She'd have been better off as an earth pony. But that's of less concern than Coco being taken in only to somehow realize that she was a human at the last moment. My guess there is that this has to do with Coco becoming a tenant; that is, that whatever illusion is wrapped around Tabitha doesn't apply to ponies (or anyone else) who becomes a formal tenant in her building.

As for where the story goes from here, well...the sky's the limit.

Also, this story seems to have disabled giving it likes or dislikes, which I'm guessing is an error? :rainbowhuh:

EDIT: Fixed now! :twilightsmile:

Oh good! I do so like your stories Silver. I am very glad a new one has been started. Seems interesting so far.

7432788 She'll have her own adventures to deal with. Silver isn't likely to come up in them, but this is the same universe, so the same rules apply. For instance, Nicole Foalman is nearby! There could also be other humans turning up, but ponies are far more likely. Her building has become something... special. What other properties does it wield?

Yay, a new Silververse story! But is it a side story, or some kind of sequel? Will there be some kind of Sequel or will Silver's princess shipping shenanigans just be a headline in the tabloids of other stories? :pinkiecrazy:

7432901 Huh. So I guess that means that Silver's story is really done, at least for the time being...

:pinkiesad2:

7432929
7432938 I can't promise one way or another what will become of Silver, story-writing wise. I may continue those, or not.

We found this great place, used to be a firestation on the corner.

Your girlfreind just happens to live in the corner penthouse, of Spook Central. :pinkiecrazy:

Modern computer power supplies, decent ones, are massively resiliant in DC, AC, Frequency and voltage they can pull in and turn to internal power, which most machines dont need a lot of. Still, pity losing the net conenction, means she will need to find an old dialup modem or card to use the phone, or Acoustic couple to the sound card if that routine is still buried in Extras etc.

Best times occur when a totally mismatched group of residents move in, after all, Iron Will has to stay somewhere in town. Just for one.:moustache:

A New story! The same first name of a childhood sweetheart I once had has already sucked me in. Hope she finds someone to explain where she is a bit better, sounds like she doesn't know of MLP, maybe send her to Ambassador Silver? The cover picture shows a building with either 8 or 9 stories, is that bottom section in grey 1 tall foyer story or 2 storys?

Looking forward to your new story.

Ooohhh, new Silververse! *clicks tracking button*

7432792 For the first 10 votes, only the author can see them. The votes are counted, just readers can't see them until there are at least 10.

Well, I always seem to drown whenever I start reading one of your stories because of how often you update, but I'll give it yet another try to keep up this time. Sixth try's the charm, right? I mean, the dice can only keep screwing me for so long before I'll get a Natural 20...

Life has many doors, Ed-boy!

How... hard could it be?

:ajbemused: :facehoof:

Not bad.... Definitely not perfect... but good enough so far

7433694 Huh. I didn't know that. What an odd rule. :rainbowhuh:

Killing me with the curiousness of this new story. Don't kill me too quickly I wanna make it to the end.

Magically, employment, or marked way, the first three must be intrestng, if the fourth is a Were Diamond Dog.

Given its not Discord checking on the new Eye Of Chaos. :Discord:

Wow... This is really weird... Excellent! Nothing like a mystery to keep readers guessing and intrigued. Looking forward to seeing what happens, and trying ti figure things out before they happen.

I'm betting the pegasus stallion is the one made of typos!

Hulking monsters who have things to do all night on the 14th of every month that require being exactly 20 feet off the ground? I predict nothing but sunshine and rainbows. :pinkiecrazy:

7436218 Could be a bumblebear!

7436780 Bumbles, they bounce! Bumblebear is my assumption from this point forward untill proven wrong. Prove it's not canon! :pinkiecrazy:

7436854 Bumblebear is another word for Bugbear, especially since the show totally made it half bee. Of course, a reference to Cyanide and Happiness, as well as my story (Twilight's Story) about them.

7436877 I know... most of that! Also the lumberjack in the classic christmas special "Rudolf the Red-nosed Reigndeer" called the abomidable snowman, a huge white beast wit gaping maw, a "bumble". :pinkiehappy:

7436890 White fur doesn't suggest bee origin.

A point in time is established. The location in space-time on the other hoof is a little wonky. :trollestia:

So how long do we think it will be till everypony will see her for what she really is, human, all the time.

This is intriguing.

7437902 Don't eat the yellow snow, NEVER eat the yellow snow!

"I guess it's magic if you don't know what it is, and only a few people know that."

Clarkes 3rd law. Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who dont understand it. Florence Ambrose, Bowmans Wolf. Freefall Engineer. :pinkiehappy:

Oh look, theres Sam the Space Squid. :pinkiegasp:

The Canine Mage is running a holodeck at least. The appartment building still has part of its transitional pathway still intact. How do random tenants end up in rooms that dont eat them when the keys are selected at random at the desk? :twilightoops:

There was no more sound that evening, and Tabitha left it alone at that. She returned to her room, shaken. What was going on in her precious building?

Instead of pushing inside, she turned away. She had to know... She walked away to the next door and threw it open, just to expose an endless field of stars that seemed to stretch out forever beyond, ignoring all geometry of the building itself. The faint rushing of air around her hinted that she truly stood before a void, and it seemed a miracle that she hadn't been sucked out into it.

With a shaking hand, she slowly closed that door. Just as she got halfway there, a squid like monster swam through the darkness and seemed to notice her. It paused and turned before darting at her with terrific speed.

She yelped in fright and slammed the door shut. It thumped softly from the other end once, but the void was gone, and so was the creature. She was safe, for the moment...

This seems out of sequence, she returns to her room then all of a sudden she's talking about not pushing in & going to the next door...to what? Should that be other end or other side?:rainbowhuh:

That was went Polomare noticed her and blinked.

when

7438514 She returned to her room, but didn't enter it. She was in front of her door, stopped, went to another door. Squid!

Interesting story so far, and I'm eager as always to see where you're going to take it.

Tabitha accepted being called Tabby by a tenant with seemingly no concerns. It makes me wonder if she's always been cool with it, or if the force of harmony is already working on her.

The flying space squid is very HP Lovecraft, so it's probably just as well that she managed to get the door closed in time and didn't re-open it to check or we might be in search of a new protagonist already.

The tenant on the 2nd floor must work for Blizzard. :derpytongue2:

it seemed a miracle that she hadn't been sucked out into it.

[science] Actually it would be blown out into it. [/science] :twilightsmile:

7438528 Just me again and the way I read it I guess, sorry.:pinkiesad2:

7438574 The typos reported were correct, and you aren't bothering me, promise.

7438541 I will argue that while yes, it is technically the out-rush of air that pushes you out, it is initiated by the undeniable fact that vacuum sucks! OBJECTION! I move that, that is NOT a typo on the basis that it is the sucking of the vacuum that initiates the pushing of the air!

7438541 Typos repaired, with a bonus one found! Welcome to Tabitha's story. The more I write of her, the more I like her and her struggles. I hope this isn't just me.

I'm glad to see you here. We have rooms available. There's no discrimination against lunars here, and we may even work out a discount for your typo nomming habits.

7438541 Me thinks "Tabby" has developed affections towards Razz already, no mention how long her and her building have been there at this point. The Tabitha I knew when I was younger that I'd made friends with didn't mind me calling her Tabby. She got stroppy when others said it though, I got closer to her than I thought at the time I guess, Thirty plus years on & still miss her, shame their family moved away.
Got told off many years ago for explaining the 4 stroke internal combustion engine cycle as Suck-Push-Bang-Blow for same reasons in high school power tech class. After boring lecture explaining this to us I asked the teacher "Then where do we use the word 'suck'? Otherwise we'd have to call it Push-Push-Bang-Blow which sounds stupid." After a moment of confusion on his face he pipes up "When writing fiction!" Yeah, right. The moral of this memory is 'Don't mess with the story when it sounds good by getting all tek-ee-nickel about it.':twilightsmile:
(This anecdote was my silly mode not my serious mode, just poking fun, please don't take offense):facehoof:

7438681 There is no suck. When you think you're doing so, you create a vaccuum and your drink pushes up to you. You don't suck at all. It's a lie, much like the cake.

7438686 I hold that it is the suck that initiates the push. Gods in hell, this is the pun that keeps on giving!

7438681
7438686
And since I'm feeling silly and pedantic at the moment, I'd like to point out that a 'blow' is also a 'push' i.e. a pressure differential flowing from higher pressure to lower pressure. So it's push, push, bang, push. :twilightsheepish:
