So, regarding the last chapter, I have a question: what Aite's Gift is?
Nice
Look at all those Homelands and Horizons references!
Jack needs to get snappier with the muzzle grabbing, so many details and stories got flung about this chapter I don't think I'm able to keep track of them. Off the top of my head there was the Misery story, the brothel town with the Zebra, Aite & Jack's past relations, sex tangents, incest, the plan for Widow and Khan... Yikes, what am I forgetting? Oh, the Stable, Angel adopting a radscorpion, and lots of objectifying Jack. I think the poor griffon needs a nap and some ear muffs.
A lot of these stories and the like are scientific of course - all for science, eh Angel? - but I have to wonder just how many of them will matter in the long run and which are tangential? The Misery story sounds too detailed and important to not matter but the Homelands/Horizons stuff is harder to see unless Angel ends up in Hoofington or the Zebra Homelands. Or she actually becomes Princess of Equestria but... you know I somehow doubt that one.
Aite's a fun character. From that little bit of play-flirting Angel is absolutely getting this bat drunk. For science of course. Actually no, the bat'll drink on her own and the science that follows is purely a happy side-effect.
oh, this made me think of a funny video:
I see she didn't include snoozling undead ghouls in her "sexual practices of the waste land " Q and A.
Whew! Finished! :D
Indeed, fun and interesting, I found it! And, of course, it raised some new mysteries. :D
And of course, given where we are in the timeline, I'm wondering exactly how things around Appleloosa will go to end up there...
(And how Angel and friends/associate/exasperated hangers-on will react to the events of FoE and PH and such. :))
For now, though, I should be going and doing something else. Thanks for writing!
I cannot put into words how happy I am that this was not dead.

You openly acknowledge it a “mega spoiler”, yet you cannot be bothered to use the spoiler tags.
9854002
I'm on mobile, I swear I added them! Let me delete it then
9854025
Ah, a phoneposting subhuman, that explains i—
…
You’re good people, Alfamaxis, you’re good people.
More seriously, the mega spoiler for Project Horizons that you raised (namely that Fluttershy leaked the mega spells to the Zebras) raises some interesting questions. If the +stat statuettes are responsible for Angel’s visions, then they cannot possibly know about Fluttershy’s culpability since they’re actually just fragments of Rarity’s soul reformatted to appear and act like bearers. Which either means that something else is going on or that you are reading too much into hallucinatory Fluttershy’s reaction. …or Borsuq forgot about that.

Hell, never been an arsehole in my life... Well, only in retaliation, but who wasn't, amirite? Also, Yes they actually just are pieces repurposed by someone, damn, go read Project Horizons, it's pretty amazing
Edit: And now they work huh? Guess that space at the end actually broke them last time.
9844362
Yeah, it's been a while I suppose Been awfully busy since the previous chapter, taking draving lessons and prepering for exam while writing chapters for my other stories, and then once that was over I got more hours at work staring with June when I began working on this chapter, which OF COURSE had to turn out to be the longest to date...
9844388
Whatever do you mean?
9844563
Thanks^^
9844868
Yeah, love those to bits^^ (Though I suppose it would put off some people - not saying any names in particular - who don't enjoy them, hence why they didn't leave any comments ;p)
You forgot about Apple Core's possible pregnancy and Stable Guardian, though I suppose he would count as part of "Misery story" ;p
Well, without giving anything away, I can tell you that... this story will be very, very long. So long that I'm actually slightly worried about dying before finishing it (in that case though my editors have notes on most stuff that would happen so you can always ask them). So, you know, it is possible that all of those will matter. Of course, considering that it would be weird to have all subplots introduced so early (yeah, I know, it's been 6 years since I started so not early, but I was reffering to the fact that this is still act I) would be a tad odd, wouldn't you agree? Soo... who knows?
The thing about Angel though is that she wouldn't do that; she even felt slightly guilty about seducing Ditzy the way she did. Also she wouldn't want to have sex with somebody who's drunk; she prefers her lovers to be FULLY aware
9845644
Yeah, this game mechanics never made sense to me, no matter what game.
9847509
Well, during her time in New Appleloosa it had been made very clear to her how sexual practices with ghouls are viewed.
9848708
Imagine the "whew" I made once I was done writing this ;p
Well we are a few chapters away from finishing (FINALLY) arc I, so... who knows? ;p (Without giving anything away, coming up with an excuse as to why Angel was absent during the events of PH was almost the first thing I thought about when planning this story, Since, you know, the possible end of the world is kind of a big deal, and seeing Angel's dream of making everybody immortal could be seen as an antithesis to the Eater of Souls -or vice versa? - she should be there, shouldn't she?. Explaining why she and co. wouldn't appear in Fo:E's events would have been easier, I believe my first thought when planning it was something like "Well, Angel could always say that she didn't believe Littlepip could pull all of it off." xD)
Glad that you enjoyed it^^
9849059
Thanks^^ Though I really have no plans of abandoning this story, I will continue it until I finish it. Eventually. So a few decades, probably
9854002
To be fair, aside from mentioning Goldenblood, I am pretty sure what he had brought up was already mentioned in Fo:E. Which is a spoiler, still, but I am pretty sure that everybody here had read the original Fo:E at the very least.
9856953
Not saying if the statuettes are responsible or not, but I am pretty sure that the magic Rarity used on them not only made the pieces of her soul appear and act like the souls of the other Bearers, but to actually "be them" (too lazy to find in Fo:E the exact description of how this worked, especially since I am sure like most stuff the explanation was broken down into several parts scattered through the story; fitting, isn't it? ;p). Regardless, though, what they know and don't know would depend on when exactly did Rarity "captured the reflections" of her friend's souls to overwrite the shards of her soul locked in the statuttes. I think that moment was showed in one of the memory orbs (though of course at the time it wasn't revealed what she had done), but we don't know when exactly in relation to that moment did Fluttershy leak the megaspells to the zebras Also you are forgetting that this particular statuette was still in Fluttershy's possession until a few days before the Last Day so even overlooking the earlier argument she could have simply "seen it".
9857547
I heard somewhere that everybody is kind of an asshole in their early twenties, but I digress
9867071
You can’t know that for sure! Better stuff everything in redundant, nested spoiler tags, just to be sure.
(I wasn’t actually concerned, more bemused by how Alfamaxis had made a fuss over it being a mega spoiler and then didn’t stuff it in a spoiler tag. I had suspected him of being a phoneposting subhuman, but he’s good people so that can’t be it. )
I’m pretty sure that Rarity made them rather late in the war, well after the megaspells were developed, so I don’t think that is relevant.
9867159
True
(Ah, I see.)
Yeah, but what I meant earlier was that if those soul fragments were "overwritten" to be the souls of the Ministry Mares, then they should also have the same memories as the souls they were "copied" from. So if Rarity created them after Fluttershy had megaspells be developed (which I'm rather certain that it was indeed the case), the soul fragment in the statuette would know about it, too. The real issue would be if the statuettes were created after or before Fluttershy gave the megaspells to the zebras; I think it was before, which is what my earlier reply was referring to. However now that I think about it... it might have been after, actually. Would have to look up Fo:E, but again, super lazy. Hm....
9867071
Well, all batponies in PH have a Gift, that being shadow teleportation, disintegration sphere or something else I'm forgetting.
9867280
Oh, I know, I was trying to be funny ;p Anyway, this will be touched upon in the next chapter, feel free to speculate what it could be... or why did I not bring up the fact that bat ponies have such Gift despite how many references to PH I made in this chapter ;p
9867071
Hah, aye. :D
Well, as for not appearing in Fo:E's events, I think I was kind of expecting that to be more something like the "slaver mad scientist" not wanting to try her luck with LittlePip and company. :D
(Or possibly her friends holding her back from trying her luck with them.)
But we'll see. :)
Aye, thanks again!
9867673
Lol, it would sooner be "the other way around", sorta. Angel would more likely consider herself morally superior to Littlepip's band; after all, she tries capturing bad ponies alive to be used for some useful purpose rather than senslessly slaughtering them left and right. As for that "slaver" bit, well, Velvet was slavers' medic for some time too, so they can't really hold it against her. Now, she wouldn't think bad of them, after all those are raiders and slavers they are killing (most of the time at least), but still, there would be some conflict of morals there, and I'd imagine Angel would be reluctant to meet with such... trigger happy people. But I digress, it's about a year before Littlepip and Velvet leave Stable 2... so about 20 years before I get to it at this rate
9867709
Ah, thanks. :)
And yeah, I expect Angel would indeed consider herself morally superior, but regardless of whether she is or is not mad, she's definitely not stupid and would be well aware that someone morally inferior is just as capable of misunderstanding her and shooting her a lot. A lot in this questions depends on what knowledge and understanding she has of LittlePip and company, I think.
(And, of course, a lot can happen in a year, and we at least know Angel didn't seem to be in Appleloosa anymore when LittlePip got there.)
Long ass chapter down.
Too much attention was paid to a story about a raider Queen. Too much. It must be plot relevant, unless of course the author decides to use it as some sort of fore shadowing for Angel, attempting to unite the wasteland but instead has the wasteland unite against her.
Also, Littlepip/Blackjack and company meeting Angel intrigues me...
A 30K+ length chapter? Sorry but I am out. That is like half a Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in length... for a single chapter.
Normally is quantity not a problem, bigger is almost always better, but when it would take 2½ hours with an average reading speed of 200 words a minute to read a single chapter are they simply too big. Now, I haven't read the chapter, but by the premise of how the princible of a chapter work can I figure out that the plot dosn't move that far, else would it have been split up in multiple chapters after all, and sorry, I don't have 2½ hours of free time to just take a single step forward in the plot.
You have a really nice story, really nice premise, some really nice characters, but I have had the feeling of bloat for a few chapters, the feeling of us not really moving ahead at a proper pace and thought it was because of us needing important info and character building for later, but seeing that 30K+ word counter can I see that this story movies with a pace that ain't my cup of tea. It should be noted that I can't read Lord of the Rings or Steven King either because of their slow story pace, so don't take it too hard.
Hope all is well. Loved the update. Looking forward to the next.
BUAHAHAHAHAHA Thats *Chuckle* thats just great *Wipes tears from eyes*
Wow... love this!
Loving this book so far!
Someone who loves a good joke, LB
and thus i fell off the couch filled with a rough fit of laughter.
9867071
longer than PH?
9894252
I have NO idea where you got that from
Well, now I'm thinking off two jokes:
Angel saying: "Obey me WORLD!"
Or Angel saying: "Then let it be fear."
Congratz if you can recognize both of those references
Yeah, that would be loads of fun for sure. Sadly, though, it would be take about a year in-story to have even a possiblity of happening... so, you know, about 20 years at my writing peace
9916326
Yeah, can't really blame you on that one. Don't like chapters this big to read myself, let alone WRITE! I really didn't want this chapter to turn out so big, like, seriously, if you'd ask my editors they would say that sometime in August I wrote messages like: "They're still fucking arguing, why are they still fucking arguing?!" The chapter just... sorta wrote itself like this.
Anyway, no hard feelings
9933301
Thanks, it is (aside from this writing break I'm taking; see, even took me 2 months to just reply to those old comments ), and I hope you enjoyed the next chapter^^
9982412
Glad that you're enjoying the story ^^
Oh, and about that "moral compass" line, if you'd look at the reply below...
10006573
You know, the funny thing is, that line is actually a reference to something (that fits AMAZINGLY well); kinda surprised that nobody seemed to pick up on it, actully Starting to think that maybe I should make an "official statement" about it...
