Weekend Blog Post: Sneak Peek Edition · 2:04am Sep 3rd, 2012
So last week I gave some of my readers a sneak peek at the next chapter of Thunderstruck. Work has been slow going, and I really should just stop rethinking some of my ideas... but I'm getting places once again. I've got a decent bit going for all of them now and I felt that if I can't get a damn chapter out immediately, I'll at least give you something to look at for now.
Also, screw you, Anrodos. I managed to keep this blog post within the weekend after all!
Mass Effect: Dissension
“They’re not really good liars, are they?” asked Ashley lightheartedly.
“Not in the least bit,” Garrus chuckled. “The guards have a good poker face, I’ll give them that. I’ve seen elcor that had more facial expressions. But...” the turian’s eyes glanced over the other ponies present, “the other ones are laughably easy to read. Breaking eye contact when asked something they don’t want to answer, stuttering, answers that seem rehearsed...”
“Think you can get anything out of them?”
“Maybe. Ms. Sparkle is better at not speaking about something than she is at hiding the fact she knows something in the first place. The one with the pink hair? She won’t even talk to me without whimpering,” he paused his musings before looking at the silly rainbow pegasus. ”However... that one, Rainbow Dash, she’s boastful and has got a big mouth on her. I’d be willing to bet if you got me alone with her for a few I could get her to slip up and divulge a thing or two.”
Shadow of the Leaves:
“Stop taking our apples!”
“But I’m so hungry...” Naruto trailed off, his tone indicating his insincerity. He took another bite of his ill-gotten apple. “Besides, you wouldn’t let someone starve, would you?”
Apple Bloom’s brow furrowed in annoyance. “You should pay for those ya know!”
“I don’t have any money,” lazily remarked the blonde before he paused to look at the sky with a smirk. “Actually... I do have some money but I’m fairly sure you ponies wouldn’t take it.”
“You could get a job!” replied the filly indignantly.
“Oh yeah? Know any places that’s hiring ‘varmints’ like me?”
“Well...” the little filly looked down as her voice trailed off, rubbing her chin with a hoof in deep contemplation. A moment later and her face lit up before she smiled up at him, “The zoo!”
Naruto stopped halfway through taking another bite out of the apple and looked down at her with a single eyebrow raised. “You know... that’s not very nice.”
Niiiceeeeee~
Just barely. And only because I mocked you about it.
...Dear god yes.
Monkey/fox/frog thing does not belong in zoo. Belongs in circus.
.... RAGE! YOU SHALL BURN FOR YOUR LATENESS! YOU WHELP. MAY THE ELDER DRAGONS DEVOUR YOU MAY THE GREY KNIGHTS JUDGE YOU OF HERESY AND MAY A SUPER GALAXY DRILL PIERCE YOU WITH PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES, FOR YOU ARE LATE!
Damn you, resistance is futile
