    Reboot(s) incoming.

    You know what? I think I'm ready to repopen some old stories. Specifically, Error Code: FiO, Tale of a Comet: White Light, and Half past ten.

    Audience participation time!

    I'm writing an intermission chapter before the next big story arc of potion shop. It's titled "Arca gets on a train and nothing interesting happens, I swear."

    What MLP character should Arca encounter on the train? And why that character in particular?

    No wrong answers.

    Phoenixfur (I'm back! Ask me stuff?)

    Yeah, I'm back. And honestly I could use a bit of a soundboard to get my creativity flowing at max again. So if you have any questions for me, ask away! I can also try to answer in-character for any of my characters from prank war or the potion shop.

    Writing trouble

    I'm gonna be honest. These last two months have been super tough for me. Not asking for pity or anything, but I've had to put my dog down and my Grandfather's been in and out of ICU for a while now with brain surgeries.

    Mentally, I'm just exhausted.

Ask the characters · 4:30pm Jan 28th, 2019

"Hey, the writer's bored at work again! Lets break the fouth wall, Nick! Non-canonically, of course."
"Sounds like a plan, Arca! If any of you have any questions you want to ask us, or any of the story characters Ashfur writes, please, feel free! He's bored and could use the company."

I have two questions for Luna in Prank war. I know that Nick is always trying to steal your sisters cake. Have you ever tried it? I also noticed that Nick is protective of his coin collection. Is there anything that you have that you'd hate to have stolen? I'd hate to go with the common assumption of it being your video games and end up being wrong.

Hey, Luna (Prank Shop continuity) have you ever heard the words “pwn” or “noob” before?

This is for Nick from Prank war. I noticed the bath-mobile in some of your stories. Have you tried getting the thing to fly? It might give you an edge in a few pranks.

"Actually, her cakes are no different from any others the chefs make. We often get ones from the kitchens with Nicholas. He only goes after my sister's confections because he sees it as a game.

As for thy second inquiry, we do not have video games, television, or even radio in Equestria. Our world is more akin to the 'canon' one you know. The most advanced entertainment technology we have are live djs and phonographs. We do have sir Astley's song on records to mess with Nicholas, at least."

So what is your little thing that you would hate if someone would mess with it?

5003827

"Seeing as both stories take plsce in the same continuity, yes. Nicholas has taught us those words."

5003851
"We collect figurines."

5003834
"Now THERE'S an idea!"

Nick, have you ever tried to explain Pokémon to Twilight, only to find she thought they were real creatures, either as a prank or just explaining a video game?

Arca, have you considered trying to counter The Duck with a rabbit? Also, have you met Princess Twilight and what do you think of her and vice versa?

5003866
Call my OC. He'll help make it happen. (He'll "forget" the landing gear, and make 50 bits from Luna for messing with him)

5003884
Nick smiled. "Luna hijacks my dreams sometimes si i can show my friends video games. They all know it's fiction."

Arca shrugged. "Who' Twilight? Not one of my customers, that's all i know. And i considered countering The Duck with another animal, but Celestia won't let me make another philosopher's stone until i get the second one back from-"

"Quack."

"Plesse excuse me, it seems I have buisness to attend to. DIE, DUCKIE!"

Oh! Nick, do you have any plans to prank Cadence and Shining Armor? You are the go to baby sitter for the Canterlot visits, so there are possibilities there. Pay Thorax 50 bits to act transform into a future Flurry and tell them and the other princesses about a dozen random warnings about what to do and what not to do. (example: Celestia will pass away from high blood pressure if she continues to eat cake. Beware the one eyed, one horned, flying, purple people eater. Twilight will go bald unless she starts playing the trombone which will allow the mental hair strains to continue to grow. The quesadilla uprising is nigh. Ect.)

Arca, when you failed to catch The Duck, has a dog ever mysteriously appeared and laughed at you?

On a completely unrelated note, Nicholas! You must show Arca the wonders of Duck Hunt on the NES

Arca, I have a solution to your problem. Ask Celestia to ask Fluttershy to speak with The Duck. She should be able to get it to stay still long enough for you to use your magic to retrieve the stone from its gullet.

Acura why does Razzle Dazzle wanna date you?

Dear EVERYONE,

What's your favorite cake flavor?

Love,
ZF

"I may have saved her life one time. I had to pull out all the stops that time... remember the giant spider? Not even close to that battle. We needed to redraw a few maps because of it, and I asked for nothing in return. She's been tailing me ever since, at first thinking i saved her out of love... then she found out i really did it because I don't want innocent ponies dying.
Now, she's deluded herself to the point of obsession."

5003973
Celestia: I love them all, but I do enjoy death by chocolate.
Luna: A classic Vanilla.
Nick: Celestia's.
All of ponyville: Pinkie's cakes are the best!
Pinkie: Fruitcakes, they're as hard as rocks!
Arca: I prefer my adopted mom's snickerdoodles.
Juniper: Any cake utilizing berries.
Emerald: Crab cakes. (She is crabby!)
Meadowbrook: Poundcake. It's the only way to make enough for everypony.
The Duck: Quack. (I think he wants suet cakes)
Razzle: Any cake made by my Arcie-warkie. Even if it's burned, it tastes better than the best anypony else could do!
Ashfur: Vanilla ice cream cake! With chocolate sprinkles instead of crumblies in the middle!

5003985
Actually I think the duck's favorite cake it anything with a philosophers stone in it

Nick, we've all seen the glorious results of you getting involved in the ongoing prank war between Celly and Luna, but what I'm dying to know is how that got started in the first place?

5004004
"Now that's something I'll tell in a chapter sometime. Maybe soon!"

5004005
Looking forward to it! Follow-up, then... Of the pranks you've revealed so far, of which are you most proud?

5004010
"Probably the time i literally altered the colors of the sun and moon. But I know the author is most proud of his numerous rickrolls..."

5003978
Wait.... does that mean she’s an ancient pony like you?

5004028
Juniper says: "Are you kidding?! Razzle is 27! I have NO idea how she knows my boss! Somepony is lying, because there's been no map redrawings of the area in the past 300 years!"

5004035
Arca did you secretly try to make another stone but have it end up in Razzle Dazzle?

5004037
No. Only two exist. I will be shedding some light on it next chapter, though.

Hey Arca, was there ever a potion you regretted making, or if not, what was the strangest potion you've ever made?

Hey Nick, I know that there is a portal in Twilight's castle that leads to the (or a?) human world. Have you ever tried getting anything from that world to make you feel more at home in Equestria?

5004048
"Does The Duck clunt?"
No.
"Okay, one time I got dared to make a potion to... uh... let's just say I found out it was used for a far more lewd use than what I intended after Celestia chewed me out over it."

Nick, how would you prank ponies if you were down with the flu? I know you wouldn't just do nothing.

Celestia and Luna, how would you prank Nick if he was down with the flu?

So Emerald, how’s prison?:rainbowlaugh:
