Me like, into my library you go!

A very good start! :twilightsmile:

Of all the duos to get stuck on earth together...can't wait to see the shenanigans that happen

Nice set up. This looks promising.

Yeah, this is gonna be good.

I hope he gets to go back to Equestria with them if they go back!!

Thanks for the update!

oooooo, a language barrier! Always found these sort of stories quite interesting. Can't wait to see how you handle this with the story as it progresses

Doesn't seem like a language barrier so much as an accent barrier if his "cum en pees" is meant to be "come in peace". I'm intrigued.

Change tag into M
And we will talk

Language barrier, brace for misunderstandings, pantomimes and other shenanigans!

how high was this staircase and why do you need to make steps at the entrance to a building that is far from the main civilization?

I'm thinking that the ponies are just small size of cats or something like that

11552405
What size is Cadance and Chrysalis then? I always thought that creatures the size of Celestia in the human world would be the size of a standard horse.

11552431
About the size of a lynx in comparison to a normal house cat although Chrysalis is probably about the size of a small Jaguar since she's actually bigger than cadence

Interesting choice of music. I prefer the OST for chipp, potemkim and faust over ky myself. I haven't really delved into the themes for the dlc characters yet.

Cadence comes up to Michaels chest, making her about 5' tall.

The house is a little above a foot off the ground. There were only 3 steps + plus the porch itself, and they were steep. Since Cadence was carrying Chrysalis, she couldn't do any complex maneuvers.

I'll go back and edit it to be clearer about the stairs. Didn't want to get to wordy.

I do not like this. Trapped in some strange machine by an equally strange creature, carried to who knows where, and stuck riding the pony I hate the most. I should've stayed awake since Cadence is a fool who would accept any visage of help. No sapient creature could survive in an area void of magic. I had only a guess as to what "Salvare" and his people were doing to survive.

*wheeze*

Oh my dear that’s where your wrong, you can survive without magic and create some pretty interesting things and weapons and tech. That even better than magic

"Of course, he's going to eat us. Where else would he get the energy necessary for higher thought? The magicless plants?"

Um yes and no but not from you.

Glad to see another chapter. Looking forward to seeing this from the pony perspective.

Thanks for the updates!

Thanks for the chapter!
I wonder, how will the communication problem be solved? So that they understand each other better.

I stare at the computer screen with one thought coursing through my mind: Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration? What to do?

Damn he just like me fr

chrissie is such a tsundere

Really into this so far.

I'm of the opinion that it should be a gradual thing, where both parties learn bits and pieces of each others language over time. I feel that having a spell just solve the problem is sorta cheap. However, I really like my slow burns, so if the author is going for something a bit faster paced, it would make sense to just cut that for improved pacing.

Nice chapter :heart:

I know that coffee is very effective at repelling ants and other insects, snails and slugs in the garden. I don’t know exactly how coffee affects ants, but it paralyzes snails and then they die from the city. Therefore, in this story, I probably would not have decided to treat Chrysalis to coffee until I was sure that it was safe for her to drink it.

Always happy to see this update!

Great chapter, can't wait for the next update :3

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that as they regain access to their magic, the language barrier is decreasing.

Also, Chrysalis doesn't realize that she has access to her magic again, or maybe she doesn't care.

Naw, don't worry. They're going to have to learn English the hard way. IMO, most fics with a language barrier play it up a bit too much. Cadence and Michael are smart enough to keep things to simple gestures. As what little we've seen with Chrysalis, not so much. They haven't gotten to a point where they're having to agonizingly explain higher concepts through gestures, yet.

A tired Michael is an impulsive Michael.

11716601
impulsive and thoughtless actions always lead to unpleasant results. ;)

Oh yay it’s not dead.

So will bugbutt gets strong enough to shapeshift in to a hot attractive green haired dark skinned super model

Mayhaps...mayhaps not...:trixieshiftright:

Well, Cadence and Chrysalis technically had enough magic to try to go at each other when they first woke up in the new world, it just fizzled immediately and then they couldn’t notice any in the environment. So it’s not that being there actively prevents Equestrian magic from working at all, which then also explains why Cadence’s telekinesis works again at least enough to hold a cup of coffee...my first guess would be that they’re both reduced to their personal reserves right now because there’s no extra power to draw in from or manipulate in the world surrounding them, and that those may have been conveniently empty at the beginning either accidentally or as a side effect of whatever was responsible for them crossing over to begin with, but have of course started to refill over time and/or with rest since ponies and changelings are themselves magical.

The catch is that -- always assuming my hypothesis is close to accurate -- there’s no way of telling yet whether said refilling was already ‘to capacity’ or only a drop in the figurative bucket, so it’s too early to judge yet what these two might be capable of at full personal strength in their current situation.

Someone's connecting all the dots. :trixieshiftright:

which is good cause I always fear I don't leave enough context clues.

Thanks for the update!

This is a very fun story. I definitely want to see it develop and play out!! Thank you for sharing it. :pinkiesmile:

Oho? Interesting.

I've been keeping an eye on this since it was first posted. I seriously love the concept, it's so interesting. I was planning to wait until it was complete to read it, but I just saw it was marked as "on hiatus." I decided to read it now since that basically means "will never update again." I love what's here, and I'm hoping you decide to come back to it at some point.

Lovebug is essential my "burnout fic." My main focus is Ruin, but if I get into a rutt, I write for it.

If you mean because of the implied, accidental flashing, you're too sensitive. If you mean because you want stuff to happen that can't happen under a T rating, I have just one thing to say to you. Don't make me get the newspaper.

I took a long sip to annoy the pony. "It matters not. He will come to know where he stands in comparison to me. You as well."

Ironically (or perhaps not considering this is just vanilla Chrysalis), you're the only one there who doesn't comprehend your position Chrysalis.
