WTF sums all of this up. Not sure if it's for the better though. Cults tend to do that. And another random griffon war.
Seriously. There's a trillion stories that have that (not literally that many. But still). Story focus or not.
Feels like you where trying to go for a Welcome to Night Vale vibe and kind of missed the mark.
What's the horror tag for?
10807231
I mean, I guess it’s not in the traditional sense of horror, but I’m trying to make the whole thing eerie and seem off. Not sure if it worked or not, but that was the intention.
I’m so confused on a lot of things.
10808146
Well, is there anything specific you’d like me to clear up? Veering away from spoilers, of course.
10808289
Well, what season does this take place in?
10808481
It takes place at the beginning of season 1

Ok, another question I have is where did applejack get all those bits from?
10808550
Alright, so in a time of war, food became scarce in small towns like Ponyville. So farmers like Applejack became nearly the sole contributors of food, and is also considered a town hero.
10808656
Ok, another question I have is about that language that was spoken.
10808678
Alright, so that was Latin, and you could easily put it in Google Translate. But to save you time, I’ll put the phrase here: The disciples work in piety secretly in the night
10808750
Who were they whispering to?
10808774
Oh, DJ-Pon3 was just muttering to herself, Twilight just happened to hear it.
10808800
Is it something important?
10808845
Yeah, I think it is. It basically hints that there is something much darker going on in the town.
10808889
Oh ok. Thanks for answering the questions.
Real smooth.
If she’s still getting orders, then why did she go out of business?
Lashings? That’s a thing?
Are they falling for this?
10809421
For the Rarity part, I probably should have explained it better. Most of the orders are coming after she closed down. She was getting orders before, but now they’re skyrocketing as ponies realize they can’t get any new dresses. Ponies don’t realize they need something until it’s gone. Plus, the Boutique was failing for a couple of years. It wouldn’t be in the best of shape. So unfortunately, it was only a matter of time.
I’ll go back in and edit that part to try to make a little more sense.
10809429
Oh ok
That’s a whoopsie
Celestia needs to chill.
Why would farming communities need help?
Is she ok?
What the hell is going on?
What did she just say?
Is it me or is ponyville really going down hill?
SMILE? What’s that?
I’m making sure I hide as much information as possible.
What did the old librarian do?
Why don’t they have a good reputation?
Night Vale vibes. I'm intrigued, have an upvote.
Oh ho, this is a really good read. I love the world building through the news stories, announcements, and even the ads. Thank you for writing this.
I get the feeling this Equestria is a good deal more utilitarian than FiM. Going to theorise that this leads to a need for Scratch to assert the presence of a “coltfriend” and downplay her relationship with Octavia.
Ok, something tells me that scootaloo saw something that S.M.I.L.E. didn’t want her to see. So she’s either out of town already or she’s already dead and they’re pretending that she’s missing.
This is honestly kind of creepy. Love it
Scootaloo knows something.
That seems very suspicious.
Ok, something isn’t adding up. Notice the difference between the ones who thinks she’s innocent and the ones who think she’s guilty.
Starting to believe the alien guy, honestly.
How does no pony find this suspicious?
