Over The Hump And Into Paradise · 8:58pm Aug 11th, 2012
FINALLY got new chapters for Within The Seas and Ponyville Discovers Coffee. That was nice to get off my chest, since it had been a while by my standards that I've worked on them.
Now for updates. I'm not doing anything this weekend, I'm kicking back to savor getting back in the feature box with the PDC update. It's kind of freaky when you realize all you have to do to see your name in the site banner anymore is add a chapter to a story still going on. I mean it, I'm not done yet. I don't know how many chapters I have in me with that concept, but I got at least one and some rough sketches for a few more. It can last as long as I want it to.
Before I continue, Within The Seas will have a new chapter first, and then PDC. That's how i'm gonna do things now, and it should work. I got two chapters up altogether in two days and I'm proud of that.
So who's the next coffee victim? It's subject to change like anything, but what I want is a chapter that starts with Rarity that ultimately ends with the CMC drinking coffee. As you might have guessed, it will be sheer terror and you should probably hide your children or something. If you don't, hide sometime you like. It'll probably get broken or somethng.
Anyways, Olympics are almost over. (sadface) And just so you know, I'm aware Rio de Janerio is getting the next one. Damn they are going to be busy. First the 2014 FIFA World Cup, then the 2016 Olympics? If they're not busting their asses every day already, they're doing it wrong.
And useless fun fact: The last WInter Olympcis were held in Vancouver. I think that's where the wing of DHX Media making FIM is stationed at.
NO! NO YOU CAN'T, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE LOCK HER IN A CLOSET FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!
On it!
QUICK, THERE'S ANOTHER! GET HER!!!
*Steel and Pinkie charge after Sweetie Belle, who immediately turns tail and starts running around the room, screaming her head off.*
GET HER BEFORE SHE DRINKS THE COFFEE!
*AJ joins in the chase for Belle while Twilight and Rainbow Dash struggle with a flailing Scootaloo.*
WE FIGHT FOR THE SAFETY OF PONYVILLE, DON'T STOP FIGHTING!
281152 If you need help, I can go get my Slenderman outfit and scare them away from the coffee.
281186 Scaring them won't help! Just help us catch them!
*Scootaloo breaks out of Rainbow's grip and runs out the door.*
AHHH damn it, Dash!
*Fluttershy and Rainbow race out the door, while Rarity and Twilight fight to capture Belle with AJ, Steel and Pinkie.*
FIM probably is made in Vancouver, since that's Canada's Hollywood equivalent. Other wonderful shows from Vancouver: Stargate (all 3), Once Upon a Time, Smallville, Eureka, The X-Files (for the first 5 years), and more (I think we've all had enough examples). Fun fact: 3 of those were at one time the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. broadcast television history: The X-Files, which was surpassed by Stargate SG-1, which was surpassed by Smallville.

281190 Ok! *runs to get costume* oh and just in case, I'm going to write a note to my Darkrai pal for help in this endavour, *scribbling noises can be heard.* Ok, Lets-a-go! *jumps though dimensions.*
281232 Fine, fine, JUST GET HER!
NEVER! I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE SAFETY OF PONYVILLE IS ASSURED! YOU ARE A THREAT TO YOUR TOWN AND COUNTRY IF YOU DRINK COFFEE!
NEVER!
*Scootaloo runs into the room, quickly followed by Rainbow smashing through the wall, and Fluttershy slowly walking into the room through the front door.*
*Scoots laughs as she runs out the door again, and Steel pokes his head out the door.*
Oh my GOD SHE'S GOING TO SUGARCUBE CORNER.
Backup from WHO?!
Go forth, my child! SAVE YOUR TOWN!
*Twilight warps out of the room without another word, Belle running outside past Steel.*
SHIT! NO! SHE'S FOLLOWING SCOOTS! EVERYONE, AFTER HER!!!
*Steel runs out of his little house, a good mile away from the edge of Ponyville, and charges after Sweetie Belle, the other five ponies following close behind him.*
281253 Their heading to SCC?! FRIK!!! *Teleports to SCC,* ok when is Darkrai going to ge- *Darkrai appears* ...t here, ok you're here and who is that with you?
D.: My girlfreind Zoroark.
Z.: Hi.
Me: you had a girlfreind? Nevermind that now! Zoroark! Can you help us?
Z.: *nods*
Me: Ok. Heres our game plan, D. You're going to be gaurding SCC, keep the orange fured purple maned pegasis filly and the white fured faided purple/white maned unicorn filly away from SCC. Z. You're going to use you're illusion powers to lead them in the wrong direction. I'll trail them and help "herd" them away. NOW GO GO GO!!!
281215
My mind got blown and I'm OK with that.
281341
Worry about the fundamentals of Equestrian magic later and CATCH THAT PONY!!
*The group charges into the town, Sweetie Belle closely tailed by the group of four ponies and one man, all of them looking like the Devil's after them.*
We're getting too close to the coffee! IF SHE DRINKS IT-
Ah don't need a nightmare t'night!
*AJ breaks off from the group, charging forward.*
Sugarcube Corner is right around the next bend! GET HER AJ!
*Huff...* On it!
*AJ leaps at Belle, tackling her to the ground. Belle flails in AJ's grip for a few moments before giving up, sighing.*
Nice catch, Applejack.
*Steel pants next to AJ, trying to catch his breath.*
Pretty sure Dash and Fluttershy have Scoots by now...
Um...actually...
Ohhhh no...
I-I'm sorry...
Ahh...well, hopefully that other guy'll catch her. No sense crying right now, Fluttershy, when there's still work to be done. Applejack, think you could-
Already on it...
Stop strugglin', sugarcube, this is fer the town's own good!
Whymewhymewhymewhymeeeheeheeeheeeee?!
She's in your hooves.
*Steel, Pinkie and Fluttershy charge off around the corner towards Sugarcube Corner, Steel praying to whatever God'll listen to him that Scootaloo was already caught.*
281420 Ok quick update team, the white one has been secured, I repeate, the white one has been secured. The orange one is getting close, Z. I need you to make the orange one think she's in a desolate maze, I'm going to scare her to D. D, when she comes your way, use Dark Void on her. Ok?
Z. and D.: OK!
Me: Good, now begin plan NOW!!!
*Sceanery suddenly changes.*
*Sees Scoots approching.*
Me: Come on turn around.
*Scoots randomly turns around*
Me: *Evil grin, then teleports where she will be looking.*
Scoots: What happaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! *Runs away*
Me: D. she's heading you're way.
D.: Got it.
*sound of a energy attack being relesed, a thud, and then snoring*
D.: Target neutralised.
Me: Great job everybody, mission accomplished!
281526
*Steel and company round the corner to see three figures standing around Scootaloo's unconscious body.*
No, Applejack, that's the backup I got. Seems we have all three of em...
*Someone enters Sugarcube Corner as the group come up to inspect Scoots, Steel checking her pulse.*
Yep, she's just out. Good work. AJ, where's Applebloom?
Just making sure. She should be at that for a whi-
*Steel stops dead in his tracks, staring at the doorway of Sugarcube Corner, a familiar filly with a bow walking out, sipping on a drink.*
Wh-...wh-...AJ! YOU SAID YOU HAD HER!
*The group looks on in horror as Applebloom finishes off the cup of coffee with a final slurp, and she starts staring off into space. Steel draws a cross on himself and says a quick prayer.*
God have mercy on the souls of this town...
(Your go on what happens, Dark.)
Rio is definately going to be a busy place in next few years. You missed Worth Youth Day in July 2013, which will attract between 1-2 million people into Rio, along with all the complexities that come with having a visiting foreign dignitary/head-of-state. Not to mention, Brazil is a strongly Catholic country to begin with, so there will be lots of involvement from the local population. I was there for the World Youth Day 2005 in Cologne, Germany; we recked havoc with the normally punctual, reliable, German transportation system.
------------------------------------------
Eeyup
(Yeah Canada! 
)
ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!!! 
I'm not sure all of Equestria is able to survive that; and Celestia help us if one of them gets a coffee-related cutie mark out of the experience. Where is the nearest nuclear bomb-shelter ... with a wifi connection ... 
... what ... just because I am scared for the survival of all of Equestria does not mean I don't want to see what happens. 
All joking aside, I look forward to seeing what you come up with using the CMC!
KillerSteel, I love the story you have going in the comment section! Priceless! Poor Sweetie Bell.
-----------------------------------------
Okay, Rarity on coffee might be interesting, but the CMC on CAFFEINE!!!!
-------------------------------------------

281685 *Steel makes a deep bow.*
You're far too kind, good sir, though it's always good to hear other people enjoying my exploits with other users.
281590 Well... The shit has hit the fan. Ok, Steel and co. get yo behinds to the nearist bomb shelter, D. I want you to charge you're strongest Dark Void yet, Z. You and I will try to keep Applebloom in ponyville. Ok?
D and Z.: OK!
Me: Good, oh and one last thing, if we don't make it... It's been nice knowing you all.
*Applebloom starts shuddering from the coffee*
Me: Now, LETS-A-GO!!!
281769
*Steel sheds a manly tear, saluting the soldiers now charging towards Applebloom.*
I salute thee, brave souls! Fight on, our lives are in your hands!
*Steel, Pinkie and Fluttershy book it in the other direction, Pinkie crying the whole way. Rainbow joins them mid-dash, and looks back towards Sugarcube Corner.*
Applebloom got the coffee. We were too late...three brave soldiers are about to sacrifice themselves for your town,
Are you insane?!
You're a tougher soul than I, Rainbow. Lead the way!
*Dash flies ahead of the group, leading them through town towards Sweet Apple Acres.*
Thanks Dash. Now go!
Right!
And one more thing.
*Steel opens the door, Fluttershy and a bawling Pinkie running inside, and he looks up at Dash.*
Come back alive.
*The two nod at each other before Steel heads down into the cellar, and Dash rockets off towards Ponyville.*
*She explodes through the air towards her target, the epicenter of disaster; Sugarcube Corner.*
(Go, Dark! Now you've got some backup on the way!)
281694
What can I say, the saddest/worst type of compliment is the one that is genuine but is never given or shared.
281901 Amen to that, brother.
281912
Ok, lets GET IT ON!
*Epic music plays*
Now-Wait, when did AB get that karate outfit?
*A karate outfit wearing AppleBloom cracks a evil grin*
Well fu-
*AB lunges at me in a flurry of punches and kicks*
Woah! Z! *ducks* a little-*blocks a punch* HELP HERE!
Z.: On it! *in a taunting tone* Come on Blank flank, pick on some one you're own gender!
AB: *turns around and says in a demonic voice* SHUT IT YOU OVERGROWN MUTT!!! *lunges at Z.*
Z.: *grins and starts using Double Team and Agility, cackaling all the while.*
RD: *Flys into sceane*
Cool I made it here and- whoa what is going on here?!
Me: coffee turned AB into some sorta karate master. Now, the main goal is to keep AB in ponyville so that
1. We keep damage to a minimal, and
2. Darkrai can get a clean shot with Dark Void, got it?
RD: YESSIR!
Me: Ok, now lets ge-ACK! *gets slamed into a wall*
Z.: Sorry, damn kid is good.
Me: it's ok. Let's just get back into the fray.
AB: MOVE OUTTA THE WAY RAINBOW DASH!!!
RD:
Fraid I can't do that AppleBloom, I'm not going to let you destroy all of ponyville.
AB: Then you leave me no choice. *grabs RD and throws
Her with unatrual strength* HYAAAAH!!!
RD: WHOAAAAAAAHHH!!! *slams into a wall*
AB: *procedes to walk away*
Me: shit, SHIT! She's walking away! Come on, think, THINK! Wait, THATS IT! Z, I need you to make a illousionary cup of coffee, ASAP!
Z.: *does exactly that*
Me: HEY, AB!
AB: *turns around*
Me: I HAVE COFFEE FOR YOU!
AB: *starts running full steam towards me*
Me: Come on... 3... 2... 1... NOW, D, DARK VOID!!!
D.: *Launches attack*
AB: *gets hit dead-on, tumbles, then skids to a halt, snoreing away*
Me: hehehe... We won... WE WON!!! Is everyone alright?
D.: I'm alright, although RD is out.
Z. I'm good, if not a little sore.
Me: Ok, D and Z, get Dashie to a hospitle. I'm going to get this two fillys to SAA. Kay? Lets go.
282590 ...Have any Jacks?
Damn it.
*Steel draws a card from the pile, grimacing at his growing hand.*
...
*Steel silently hands over the card, hanging his head in defeat.*
How am I so bad at THIS of all card games?
Damn it...anyone wanna check if the Apocalypse is upon us yet? I haven't heard the banshee's cry marking the deaths of thousands, so I think we're in the clear.
I'll do it.
*Steel drops his hand on the floor, knowing he already lost the game, and walks over to the cellar doors. He cracks it open, peering outside.*
...Seems clear...I think they did it. That, or Applebloom is just revelling in her victory before escaping...
Your Pinkie Sense can even predict world-ending disasters?
...Agreeable point. C'mon, let's head back.
*Pinkie collects her cards back into the box and tosses it over to Steel, who shoves them in his pocket. All three head out of the cellar, shielding their eyes from the falling sun.*
...Hell of a day...
Well, let's head home. Bet we'll have some clean up to do...
*Steel, Pinkie and Fluttershy all start the walk away from the farm, hoping that Ponyville isn't a smoking crater smelling of apples and caffeine.*
282693
*while walking to SAA*
What a friken day this was. Jumping into equestia with my Darkrai pal and his gal in order to stop a catyclysim by two fillys, only for the one that was SUPPOUSED to be secured, drink coffee and force us into a fight for our lives.
What. A. Friken. Day.
*AB and Scoots shifts in my arms, than falls silent once more*
I would daww, but I'm WAY to tired to give a flap... uhhh i need a Mountan dew!

281375 I'm glad I could share the wonders of Canadian TV. It's my favorite thing about Canada. Of course, I've never actually been there, so it's really the only part of Canada I've personally experienced.
Related fact: The Dark Knight Rises was filmed in Vancouver. The actor who plays Teal'c on Stargate SG1 is in the movie. I waited almost the whole movie for him to show up (he doesn't show up until at least 2 hours in), and he only said 6 words.
Oh well.
282822 *Steel's group runs into Dark's group.*
Ah, good, you got them. AJ should be coming around with Belle soon. Seems we averted yet another disaster...good work, people. Anyone know where we should put em?
Well that ranges anywhere from locking them the library to launching them to the moon.
Wha- no, of course it isn't. They may be a threat, but they aren't a Nightmare Moon-scale threat until they've actually drank the coffee. So yeah, AB was Nightmare Moon status for a while, not bad for a kid...you guys have any ideas?
283916 how about apploosa?... Does apploosa have any coffee machines?
284115 Hmm...Canterlot is where this whole coffee craze originated, but Appleoosa is juuuuust backwater enough to work. Good idea.
*AJ walks up with Scootaloo on her back, wrapped up in rope like an Egyptian mummy, only her head exposed.*
No way, kid. You're a danger to town and country right now; we'll have to ride out the storm for the moment.
...Good question. Erm...
284922 Well how about we- WAIT WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT WAIT JUST A MOUMENT!!! Wasnt AJ bringing BELLE?! Because I have Scoots in my arms! You know what? SPACE-TIME-REWIND!!!
Toad: Thank you Mario! But our princess is-
Me: NO NO NO!!! Thats to far! Lets try agen...
Me: NO! Still to far... Ah here we go!
Steel: Ah, good, you got them. AJ should be coming around with Belle soon.
There, you said AJ was bringing Belle, yet AJ has Scoots, and may I remind you that I also have Scoots... THEN WHERES BELLE!?!
285157 *Steel blinks, looking over at AJ, who looks back at him. She looks at her back, seeing Scootaloo, then over at Dark, seeing another Scootaloo.*
...
...
...
Uh...wait...that's...just...what...huh? Two Scootaloos?
*Steel's eye twitches as he tries to process what the fuck just happened.*
285172
So we have two Scoots now... Where in the distortion world is-hey is that Bel-oh god no...
*sees Belle finishing a cup of coffee*
Well fuuuuuuuu-
SB: BATHROOM!!! *runs into nearby outhouse*
Me: Umm... Ok?
*hears a tolet flushing, Belle walking out aloung with a sea of candy*
Me: ...
*Loading*
*Loading*
*Loading*
*Error: Logic.exe has stoped working. Would you like to shut down Logic.exe?
292914
Well...that was...erm...honestly, that was a lot better than I was expecting.
*Steel blinks a few times.*
GET HER!!!
*Steel suddenly lurches forward, followed by AJ with the second Scootaloo on her back, Pinkie and Fluttershy.*
*Sweetie books it for town as Steel's group chases her like a bunch of foalnappers after the Princess's daughter.*
293169
Well... that happened... hows Darkrai and Zoroark doing
*Meanwhile*
D.: where is everyone?
*Looks around the oddly empty section of town*
Z.: Great, how are we going to find the hospitle no-AACK
*Z gets plowed by Derpy*
Derpy:
Sorry sorry! Wait, who are you two and why are you carrying Rainbow Dash?
D.: I'm Darkrai and Zoroark is the one you're still laying on.
Derpy:
Oops sorry.
Z.: it's ok hey, do you know where the hospitle is?
Derpy:
Oh, it's over there.
D.: thanks... um who are you?
Derpy: Names Derpy.
D.: Thanks Derpy, we'll be going now so Thanks.
Derpy:
Bye!
