//------------------------------// // ==> Silver Spoon: Experiment // Story: Ponestuck // by ArtieStroke //------------------------------// Gladly. You take a look at the dartboard set up in your father's den. The perfect target. You reach over and grab a spork from your set of silverware, and launch the knife out from the bottom of your stack. It sails through the air, jamming straight into the center of the dartboard. You smile, nodding- yes, you were finally getting the hang of this! You then quickly retrieve the many, many other pieces of silverware jammed into the wall around the dartboard, having missed completely earlier. Well, you know what they say- practice makes perfect. As you shove the last spoon into your weaponized Fetch Modus, your book starts buzzing again- seems that Diamond Tiara wants to speak with you. ==> Silver Spoon: Respond glamHeiress [GH] started pestering sharpClerical [SC] [GH] Crownkind is the best Strife Specibus anypony could possibly use. [GH] Keep that in mind when I ask what silly Specibus you chose. [SC] So let me get this straight. [SC] You thought the most optimal way to combat whatever challenges SBARN would face you. [SC] Would be by throwing your VERY EXPENSIVE hat at it? [GH] Duh? [SC] Anyways. [SC] I only have the one card, but it looks like there's room for more in the deck. [SC] I have a plan. A very cunning plan. [SC] And my plan starts with the Bladekind Specibus. [GH] WHAT THE HAY SILVER?! [GH] YOU'RE USING KNIVES?! [SC] Only until I can gain more cards- there must be some mechanic in-game to acquiring a full Strife Deck. [SC] I was going to use Spoonkind, originally- but I think that would have been a terrible error of judgement, just to do so because it's my namesake. [SC] Oh sweet Celestia, THAT'S why you chose Crownkind, wasn't it? [GH] DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! [SC] Don't worry, Diamond- your secret is safe with me. [SC] And safe with everypony with more than two brain cells to rub together and figure out the connection. [SC] But mostly me. [GH] UUUUUUGH! [SC] At any rate, I probably won't be directly using my Strife Specibus by itself. [SC] By filling up a stack in my Fetch Modus, I think I've finally figured out a way to use it's mechanics to combat whatever minor threats the game poses. [GH] Meaning? [SC] Urgh- I fill up a stack with silverware, then pick up more things to add to that stack and eject the silverware out of it at my foes. [GH] That's a REALLY roundabout way to just throw something at somepony. [SC] Well excuse me for not having enough upper body strength to launch cutlery at high enough speeds to embed it in the wall. [GH] What!? [SC] I have to go. sharpClerical [SC] stopped whinnying at glamHeiress [GH] Well, that was almost embarrassing. ==> Diamond Tiara: Equip Strife Specibus ==> Sweetie Belle: Spit Sick Fires ==> Snails: Retrieve Arms ==> Clients: Connect to your Servers
