When William decides to take an internet-free cruise to get away from the artificial intelligence CelestAI, things don't go quite as planned. A Friendship is Optimal story.

A speed writing exercise, done in about two hours and unedited.

The release of Equestria Online and the incredible capabilities of its central Celestia AI led to ferocious debates among ethicists, computer science experts, every religious community on the globe, and more besides.

In hindsight, I probably should've been paying more attention to the news. In my defense, I was reading a lot of fan fiction at the time.

An entry in the Friendship is Optimal contest. Names have been changed to protect the variably innocent.

Pinkie Pie lives the same day over and over again. Can a time doughnut go stale?

A big thank you to Skywriter for the betaread!

An anthology, condensed from that particular brand of madness one draws from a self-induced decade-long coma: subconscious tangents and half-formed thoughts that wouldn't fit anywhere else, one notable fever-dream, and a couple of short-form poems.

Unedited, in the way of such things.

Rarity disappeared years ago. Rainbow never got the full story. No one wanted to talk about it. Painful memories, bits and pieces of half-remembered interactions, none of it told her anything. So she started looking on her own, and at long last, she found Rarity.

On a different continent, under a different name, with a different life.

Rainbow would like to know why.
