Diaper Note

by Detrail


Chapter 3

A magical aura surrounded the door as it quickly slammed open. “L the reports from Canterlot came in, and the result is far worse than we expected!” Watari rushed into the room quickly placing a stack of paper in front of L. On the top was a map of Canterlot with several towns circled in red and several numbers written next to each circle. “Sir I don’t mean to question you, but maybe we should consider another alternative.” 

    Without breaking his gaze, L remained there speechless.

Clearing his throat Watari continued. “Our current team believes they have isolated the cause of the events to a lone unicorn traveling to each of the towns thus far unaffected. Under your orders the team wishes to apprehend her for questioning.”

L remained silent for several minutes. “Watari, has the surveillance team I requested found anything?”

    Watari sighed, “No sir. They have kept an eye on the pony you seem suspicious of, but have not seen anything out of the ordinary. During their last check in the surveillance team seemed heavily disheartened. Since this problem seems of the magical nature, suspicion of a pony incapable of magic seems a bit odd, especially since he seems to have been afflicted with incontinence as well.”

    L remained silent causing Watari to nod his head and continue back to the door, as he began to open it L’s voice called out to him. “Watari, I do not give permission to apprehend that traveling unicorn yet. Tell the teams to remain on standby, today we will put an end to this.”

Watari was surprised to hear this, “Sir?”

L pressed his hoof against the desk rotating it. As his sleep deprived eyes met with Watari’s he continued. “Based on what we learned from apprehension of the griffon, I suspect it is safe to assume the real mastermind has the capacity to bend the will of others to their desire. The real criminal is cunning and wouldn’t be so foolish as to leave such an obvious ploy as that unicorn. Until now he has remained silent, in the shadows. Why on earth would Diara travel from town to town and leave the entire populace in need of diapers while they themselves remain with their control. Whatever this is, it is a trap to capture us.”

Watari was left stunned by the deduction. “If that is the case sir, how do you intend on ending this today?”

L slowly pushed off the chair and stood up. As he rose his four legs remained somewhat bent lowering his height. Retaining his slouched position L walked toward Watari. “Diara is a childish pony, and the one thing he hates is losing. I know this because he is just like me. For that reason I know the one thing he hates more than anything is not playing at all.”

L continued past Watari as he opened the door with his hoof. A bright light flooded into the dark room. Watari could only stand by as L continued into the light closing the door on the dark room.

It's been almost a year since I received this note book. I can only reminisce as I gazed down at it. Every name, ever stroke, and every instruction lining the vast pages leave me with a certain glow. A sort of exhilaration that I could never dream to capture in any other way. Abandoning the world around me I could see my joy in the once pure white pages now stained black by my will. Looking through my work was the only thing I could do at this point. 

After the incident with my trip to Ponyville to assimilate the Griffon Kingdom, I realize that I need to be far more careful with my actions. Now that I know the kingdom has established a task force to find me I have been forced to be more careful and not direct any attention towards myself. Worst of all, in the last few months, the number of strange ponies snooping around town has increased and as a result I have not written any ponies names in the past 3 months, all to divert that subservient L from uncovering my identity. For now I need to relax and not draw any suspicion to myself. At the very least I could bask in the knowledge that at this moment, my will is still being carried out, and justice will be brought down upon the world. Even if that justice must be delivered by proxy, this world will be saved. 

As I finished going over the last few pages I closed the cover on the Diaper Note. With my mind at ease I turned to my clock which read 2:37 pm. I could barely contain myself, soon the time at which my 3 month hibernation would finally come to an end. As I began to go over what I had to do next my concentration was broken by a chewing sound. 

As I turned around, I was met with the yellowed padded rear of Nyuk. He was lying on my bed reading through some of the books I had on my shelf. Ever since the trip to Ponyville, compared to what he ate there, his diet of apples has gone down substantially.

 Now that he was being denied all the apples he was used to, he always seems to be in a tantrum like mood. He describes it as a withdrawal, but it has become so bad that now he uses a pacifier to calm himself down; that would have been fine if not for the constant sound of him chewing on it. “Nyuk could you please stop for a little while.” The Omushin paid no mind to me and continued to chew. Exasperated, I tried again to get a moment of peace, “Nyuk shouldn’t you at least go and change first?”

    The sound stopped for a moment as Nyuk turned to look at me with his twisted smile. “Shouldn’t you?” He replied to me through his pacifier snidely.

    My expression didn’t change. “Fine. But once I am done you better be off my bed.” His smile grew wider as he nodded. As I stood up, I could hear a crinkle emanate from under my clothing. As I walked over to the next room I could see his eyes follow me, he was now sucking on his pacifier content. How annoying. 

    Arriving in the next room I took off my pants underneath which was my sodden diaper. This was the epitome of humiliation for somepony like me. Under normal circumstances I would be more than happy with my current state. But here I am forced to use one and dance around, all to avoid suspicion from him.

    Off to the side of the room was a large padded table with changing supplies. My parents saw fit to install it after my sister had been stricken with incontinence 3 months ago. I on the other hand am forced to act as if I am incontinent as well wetting myself and occasionally… I hope he enjoys reading those field reports his men are writing him. I slowly got on top of the table and began to untape my diaper. 

    The only reason I am forced to do this is because L has his team following me around. The only reason I have been denied the ability to write in my book is thanks to that pony. I could only remain disgusted that a being such as myself was left to wallow and hide biding his time.
Removing the old diaper I balled it up and threw it into the trash, I then began to clean myself as I slid a new diaper underneath. 

    To make matters worse Nyuk continues to plague me with nothing more than annoyances ever since his only source of entertainment disappeared and he entered withdrawal from a lack of apples. Now that enough time has passed, I will finally be able to reclaim that power. As my head began to cool I taped the new diaper on myself and stood back up. I only needed to play this game a little longer, soon I will reclaim my place as god of this world. Nothing will be able to stop me, not even that meddlesome L. I collected my pants as I left the changing room.

    As I began towards my room my mother called out to me. “Light, your marefriend came over, so I sent her up to your room.” 

    Hmm… so she is here. “Thanks!” I called out. It was definitely a good thing I ended up changing, now to see what she wants. As I returned back to my room I opened the door, preparing for her waiting for me inside. 

Opening the door I looked inside to see that sight that had at one time burned me. She was sitting on top of my chair flipping through the pages of the Diaper Note. Her white coat was now concealed behind her new clothing, her blond mane seems to have grown out a bit more, and now that cutie mark of the hoofcuff was slightly obscured by the diaper around her rear. There was really no point to the skirt she was wearing as it did nothing to even remotely hide her diaper or the degree at which she used it. It had been almost a week since she was last here, as I closed the door she turned to look at me excited. 

Gazing at her I can’t help but recall the surreal reunion we had only a few months ago.

***
It was a few days after I began my current plan. It was a dark rainy day and I was flipping through my Diaper Note, looking over the remnants of the freshly torn sections. I will never forget what happened next.

    My mother called out to me, “Light you have a visitor, oh and she is a cute one!”

Of course I was unsure who it was, but it was around that time that I grew suspicious of L sending his subordinates after me. “What’s their name!?” I called back trying to decide my next move.

“She says her name is Kiss and she is an old friend of yours. Should I send her up?”

This was strange. I didn’t know anypony by that name and it makes no sense for L to issue somepony make such a dubious claim. I don’t know what to expect but I refuse to cower when I have the upper hand. I always have a scrap of the note I keep on me just in case, I hid the notebook and called back to my mother. “Sure mom, send her up!”
   
    I waited intently for the stranger to make it up to my room. As I could hear their soaked hoofsteps as they passed over the stairs I prepared for whatever was about to enter. As the door opened, I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. On the other side stood that same pony from all that time ago, the first name I had ever written down in the Diaper Note, Scarlet Kiss.
   
    “Scarlet?” I asked, honestly surprised. “What are you doing here?” As she walked in her mane continued to drip rainwater and her face bore an intense look. “Here, you should first dry off and then we’ll talk.” I handed her a nearby towel. As she grabbed it she began to dry herself off. Regardless of my questions and formalities my mind began to churn with concern. 

Since I had used the Diaper Note previously on her, she would be immune to the effects. In the events she was working for L or had somehow figured out I was the one behind what had happened to her a year ago, she could possibly be here for revenge. I couldn’t rely on the note. I could touch her with a page of the note and when she is able to see Nyuk I could use that opportunity to knock her out, but that would be far too risky. I could write my mother’s name down and instruct her to kill Scarlet, but the distance between my room and the kitchen was slightly over 50 feet, which means that it could very well end badly before my mother even makes it up the stairs. No, the best method, the only method would be for me to kill her myself. I could use my pen, a well placed jab into her neck and she would be dead within 30 seconds. Then it would just be a matter of using the note to command my mother to dispose of the body and forget what she saw. It would leave her incontinent and as a result I would be unable to use the Diaper Note on her again, but for all intents and purposes it is the best method available. 

“Umm… Light?” My eyes continued to remain locked on her as she spoke, but I moved my hoof closer to my pen as I prepared for what might happen next. 

Her eyes were blank and her voice devoid of life. “No, Diara… that’s your real name isn’t it?” 

My eyes shot open she knew somehow, more than that, the act was far too dangerous. It would be insane of me to keep her alive much longer. No, I just need to get into striking distance and end this. 

    She continued to look at me with her hollow eyes. “I’ve known it was you for a long time now. After all you’re the reason I’m like this now.” Her horn lit up and a red aura surrounded her soaked black cloak. 

    My eyes darted around the room ensuring there was no trick in her actions. As my eyes settled back on her I could see she was removing her cloak to expose what was underneath to my surprise. For under it all she stood before me bare save for her diaper that remained affixed to her. 

    In addition to discarding her shame Scarlet dropped her cloak onto the ground “You were the one that cursed me, I don't know how or why but I know it was you.”

I readied my makeshift weapon, it wasn't as if I hadn’t used others to dispose of those that have gotten in my way before, but it seemed that it had become my turn to do the same. 

“I… I’m here to offer myself…” She looked dazed and confused almost as if there is nothing left inside her. “No… I need to give myself to you Diara.” 

    Her strange word echoed in my head. This time I had no intent to hesitate, yet I am drawn in by her statement so I inquired. “What are you talking about?”

    “You know that day was supposed to be my last day.” That stallion I was with that day the one who ran away, I was supposed to kill him that day.” She smiled as she spoke, and I knew that I should be prepared for whatever may happen. 

    “Thirteen years prior to that day he blackmailed me and ever since then I became bound to him and was forced to do whatever he asked of me. Horrible things that I can’t even look back at all because of a mistake I made, I became imprisoned for thirteen years. For thirteen years I had bid my time waiting for a chance to escape to break free, but it never came. That is until…”

I could see the murky look in her eyes as she gazed at me.

“Until the day you saved me.” She began to laugh. “You know when I look back on that day when I had my first accident. It was the first happy memory I can recall in a long time. Soon after that he couldn’t take the shame of what happened to him.” She continued to giggle. “It’s really funny after what he did to me he could only take it for a month before he jumped.” Reminding me of the unfortunate high rate of suicides that took place during the start of it all. At this point Scarlet had fallen into uncontrollable laughter, yet there was no malice just a foalish excitement, as if she was given a new toy.

    “Hmm… so if you are serious about your offer, then prove it to me.” Before I could say anything else her horn glowed, and her cloak moved as a knife came into her possession. I quickly realized it was concealed in her cloak. Okay not a problem, my desk chair is within reach and I am one story up all I need to do is-

    Before I could plan my next move she brought the knife to her throat. Tears filled her eyes. “It’s probably better if less ponies know, so tell me and I will end it right now.”

    “Put that down!” Out of shock she tossed the knife down as it rolled towards me. 

    “I don’t care if all you do is use me, or even if you kill me. Because Light, I love you and I’ll do anything for you.” There was nothing in her eyes, she stood there hollow. As she sank to the ground consumed by despair I am left at a loss.

    “How is it that you are able to say that?” While the knife was at hoof-length. I continued my questioning.

    “Almost a year ago today I died. I wanted that stallion to pay for what he did, but no matter what I thought of, I realized he had me cornered. Then that day happened…” Her legs splayed putting her diaper on display. “The day I became dependent on diapers. It was the day I became free.” I could see a smile form on her face that same foalish smile. “That day you did this to me, but you protected me from him, and in the end you did it to him as well. He didn’t want me anymore, he didn’t even want himself. He soon vanished soon after that, now he’s gone, and I am free. Free to do what I wanted, how I wanted. It was only later I began to piece it all together and realized that you, that Diara saved me. Diara gifted me with freedom, and all I wanted was a chance to meet him and give myself to him. Diara is my god.” As she finished she began to sob.

    I see, so that explains her irrational behavior. Yet, she was able to deduce who I was and has promised to obey me. Placing my pen down I stand up and walk toward the defeated mare. She continues to sob pitifully her cries confirming she had already accepted her death. In one quick motion I picked my front hooves up and I swiftly embraced her. I could feel her stiffen up, afraid, her tears dried up and her breathing became tense and haggard. “ I understand. The lengths you went to meet me, knowing that you may not live, and your need to be of help to me. You will become my weapon.”

    “Th-Thank you so much.” I could hear her choking as she spoke as she tried to get her emotions under control. “I’ll sacrifice anything to make you love me, I promise Light.” I could feel her warm tear soaked hooves embrace me back.

    My eyes remained transfixed and I was unable to prevent a smile from crossing my face. Oh Scarlet, you don’t seem to understand I wasn’t the one to curse you. You have yet to figure it out, but you, you were born cursed. That wretched mark of yours hasn’t bound us together but has simply bound you to me for all eternity. It has rendered you at the mercy of my will and my desire. 

I could see the smile on her face. It wasn't the look of someone that felt loved and needed, it was of someone that had found their purpose. Seeing that look on her face I knew, I could use this mare to serve a purpose greater than she could ever hope to dream of. 

My dear pawn. My Scarlet Kiss.


***
And here we are, me and my tool. From now until the day she becomes useless to me.

She placed the Diaper Note back onto the table and stood up “Light! I missed you so much!” She almost jumps up as she hugs me. 

I am once again reminded of her demeanor and her moods. “How did the photoshoot go Scarlet?” I could feel her break off of me as she looked upset.

She pouts, as a look of annoyance fills her face. “I told you not to call me by that name!.”
   
    “R-right, Misa…” I could only choke out the words, I still was not used to this Scarlet. Ever since the deal she made with Nyuk, she became obsessed with being called by her stage name.

    She smiles and embraces me again. “Aww! I love you so much Light.” 

Trapped in her embrace I could see Nyuk. That foul and poison laden grin he bore on his face, as he watched the spectacle unfold. I could only gaze at him with a look of contempt. With the price that she paid, I was left disgusted that he would ever dare to bring such a deal before me. 

***
“Omushin Eyes?” Scarlet looked back at me perplexed. 

    I sighed, tired and unsure of the situation. “Yes, Nyuk would you care to explain how these eyes of yours work exactly?” 

    “Well of course.” He continued to gaze at us with his stark red eyes. “Now this is normally something of a secret, but I figured it would interest you. You see, for an Omushin, determining something as trifining as a pony’s name is quite simple. With these eyes I can see anypony’s name right above their heads, including the two of you right now. So as you can see our eyes aren’t the same and that is the difference between you and I.”

    I could see the look of unease on Scalet’s face, and I could feel myself becoming unsettled. “I don’t suppose you are planning on telling us L’s name are you?”

    Nyuk's face was filled with a condescending smile. “Of course not, after all that would be against the rules.” 

    I was rather surprised to hear this. “Rules?”

    “Yeah, there are certain rules I have to abide by.” Nyuk appeared rather bored as he spoke. “An Omushin is not permitted to share anything my eyes show me, nor are they allowed to perform any act that would intentionally preserve the continence of anypony. Most important of all, it is the duty of the Omushin following a pony with a Diaper Note to ultimately write that pony’s name in their book.”

    I could feel the pointlessness of this conversation drone on. “So how do your eyes involve us exactly?” 

    I could see the boredom vanish from his eyes and the same conniving expression fill his face once again. “However, if a Omushin drops their Diaper Note and a pony picks it up, he can grant that pony the eyes of an Omushin, but only if a deal is made one that has been with us for many moons.”

    I was intrigued but hesitant. “So what’s the deal?”

    His teeth shone, as he smiled at me. “The price for having an Omushin’s Eyes’ is half of that pony’s maturity, that’s all it is.”

    I could tell he was having too much fun with all of this. His eyes no longer met mine. “Enough of these games Nyuk. What do you mean by ‘maturity’ exactly?”

    “I am not exactly at liberty to say.” He floated up as he continued to gaze away. “But if you’re really interested, I’ll say it once more, give me half your maturity and I’ll give you Omushin Eyes.”

    “The ability to see anypony’s name just by looking at them. That would make using the Diaper Note far easier.” Gazing back at him my mind ran through several possibilities, but with each ending in a conclusion unfit for my plans. “Sorry Nyuk, but this deal is out of the question. My plan is to create a world filled with only those that wear diapers, and to reign over that world as a god. I might consider the deal if I understood the terms, but not with that much ambiguity. I figured you of all ponies would know I wouldn’t take this deal.”

    “I’ll do it.” I heard her voice call out confidently. At that moment I realized Nyuk was never proposing this deal to me. Following his gaze I was led towards her direction. No, he knew I would never be so foolish as to take it, but she would. 

    “Wait, Scarlet are you certain you want to do this? We aren’t even sure exactly what he wants.” While my statement was automatic and my eyes hollow I could see her face filled with a tender smile. 

    “Thank you Light for caring about somepony like me, but I understand the value this would give you. I may not be the best at magic and all I may have going for me is my looks, but you still accepted me. I want to help you achieve your goals whatever that cost may be. I will make you god of this world!” This is absolutely perfect. With her accepting the contract I can determine if the risk is worth it. In the end either she will pay a terrible price that renders a loose end tied, or I will be left with a puppet far more useful than I ever expected. 

“If you’re certain about then go ahead.” Her stalwart attitude, her undying loyalty, her lack of any rational thought when it comes to me… I could feel my eyes being drawn toward Nyuk. 

Nyuk descended from his flight. “Alright then, let’s get this contract taken care of.” Greeted by his smile, it was then I knew he was truly somepony I must keep my eye on.

***
I could feel her let go as she looked at me smiling. “So Light today we are going to see the traveling show?” The pony standing in front of me now is no longer that mare that deduced my existence. Not a semblance of any calculation of autonomy remained. “Aww come on, besides I could always help you write in your note~” Her eyes shone a brilliant red momentarily. In the end the contract left me a plaything that lacked the will to betray me, yet with eyes worth more than she ever could have been. With her eyes finding the names of the teams currently investigating Diara should be a simple task. Once they are disposed of it will only be a matter of time until I locate and take down L. In the meantime I still have her, and her moods to deal with. 

    “Of course, I already changed and I’m ready to go.” 

    “Aww, you already changed… Well is Nyuk going to come with us!?” The Omushin looks up as his name was called, he shook his head but went back to paying her no mind sucking on his pacifier.

    “You know full well he can’t come this time, regardless he has been rather troublesome lately.” 

    “Aww, first no apples then he misses out on all the fun.” Misa walks over to her bag. “Well… look what I got!” Using her magic she opened the bag and pulled out a bottle full of amber fluid.

    I can hear the sucking stop as Nyuk floats next to Misa. Well it looks like that’s one problem solved. “Hey Misa I have to ask, why a bottle?”

    She lifts the bottle up to look at, “Oh this! I just came from the set and had to go to an advertisement for a new brand. After I was done they gave me several of them. I filled one before I got here.”

    Strange I never expected the trends to go this far. “That is peculiar, but I guess it worked out. Just remember what I told you.”

    Misa gives me a smile. “Don’t worry I remember. The third room in the hallway in the back left corner!”

    I sighed. “Yes that’s the spot.”

“Okay! Let me finish this and then I am going to go change so we can go to the show.” Nyuk took the hint and flew over to the next room. Misa levitates the bottles and begins to leave, but before she closes the door she stops for a moment. “Oh and Light, about the bottles. Don’t knock it till you try it!” I can hear her giggle as she leaves. 

    Definitely stranger than I expected, but no matter. She has managed to solve another one of my problems, now to wait for her to return and we can see the end of my plan. 

***
After waiting far too long Misa and myself, exited my home. Before we left I noticed Nyuk's mood appeared to have improved. I will have to get him something until he gets over this addiction of his, for my sanity at the very least. Then there was Misa, clinging closely to me, I’d be irritated, but if there is one thing she helps with it is passing off the idea that I am a regular pony. As I looked around the city I was pleasantly greeted by sights that would have appeared ludicrous a year ago. 

    The vast population of this once mute and detached city were replaced with smiling faces of the world I have penned. The adult foal and diaper shops now commonplace, all clothing slowly modified to make changing easier, there was barely a bathroom in sight all replaced by changing rooms, and streets were filled with diapered ponies. This town stands as a shining example of the world I intend to erect, where I may reign as a god among the masses. Now once I complete today’s plan I will be one step closer to success, not even L could ever hope to stop me now.

As we continued down the road I became enticed by a commotion at the street corner. It was an odd display filled with balloons and streamers with somepony at the center of it all giving a speech. It quickly dawned on me what this was, another useless cog in the grand game that was this kingdom, a politician. Absolutely worthless, ponies that couldn’t begin to grasp change and justice prostrating themselves in hopes of winning the support of the masses only to continue the cycle of stagnation. I began to disregard the worthlessness of the spectacle until I heard an odd statement that grabbed my attention.

“...and remember my fellow citizens, a vote for L. is a vote for justice.” 

My mind froze, there was no way. I quickly snapped back to my senses as I read the banner above “Lind L. Tailor for Commissioner” Ah I see, just another pony running for a token political position, I shouldn’t have let my imagination run wild. 

    I began to walk away, but I couldn’t help but listen to the crowd continue to cheer. 

    “He’s the pony we need!”

    “Yeah with someone like him, maybe we can finally see an end to all of this!”

    “L! L! L!”

    They all began to chant, just like sheep. As we walked by I could feel my eyes peer through the crowd only to settle at the stallion at the center all it all. A somewhat sickly looking pony, with a long black mane draped over his light coat. 

    Suddenly I felt a tug on my sleeve.

    “Hey Light, we’re almost there!” It was Misa excitedly yelling at me. 

    As I turned back we had already traveled far enough away that I could no longer see the crowd. No matter, regardless of what those ponies think they want, I am what they need.

    Before long we arrived at the small outdoor structure, a crude stage. It was set up next to a worn wagon, the detail that interested me the most was the royal crest stamped onto the side. A large crowd of ponies had already gathered in front all clamoring to gaze at the spectacle, completely unaware of what was about to unfold. 

    As we approached the stand in front to gain entrance to the affair I couldn’t help but notice the pegasus handling the ticket booth. With her white coat and sky blue mane she looked fairly young, but the look of exhaustion filled her face, a look of many sleepless nights only further backed up by her disheveled mane. During this Misa had managed to slip away from me and was now quickly making her way to the ticket booth with nopony else in sight. 

    “Canvas! It has been so long I am so happy to see you’re doing well.”

    “Ro-Misa!!! Err… g-good to see you too I mean!” The fear in her voice was obvious. I couldn’t help but eye Misa carefully, I was somewhat aware of the details surrounding the mare in front of us, and her history with Misa.

    “Oh, and this is my coltfriend!” I could feel Misa clamp onto my arm as she spoke almost as if she was making a point to the pony in front of us with our ‘relationship’. “Can we get two tickets to today’s show?”

    “N-No problem. Here!” She quickly took Misa’s bits and handed her the tickets ushering us in. As we took a few steps in I looked at Misa who quickly smiled at me and nodded. 

    “Oh right I almost forgot.” I could see the deep redness of her eyes as she glared intently at Canvas. “You remember our deal don’t you Canvas Sail.” 

    A look of pure terror filled the pegasus’ face as she spoke. “Y-yes I did exactly what you told me to do.” 

    “The exact way I told you to do it, no mistakes?” 

“Y-Y-Yes I did it the exact way you told me to. Now please promise me you won’t tell anyone! I don’t think I can stand being blackmailed like this… Even if it’s all harmless, it’s weird a-and I’m scared…”
   
    “Oh you mean like I was…” The look of blood lust in Misa’s eyes almost made her seem terrifying for a moment, but only for a moment, as she suddenly began to giggle uncontrollably. 

“Hahaha just kidding. Sorry!” She stuck her tongue out, the sudden outburst of childishness only seemed to unsettle the pegasus further. “Anyway, you did a good job! Misa is very happy with you, and all is forgiven. In fact how about we end our agreement today!”

    “B-but you told me to-”

    “Did I stutter?” Misa spoke again showing a hidden rage before she smiled. “Just finish up the rest for today and destroy the evidence and you’re free just like me and my coltfriend Diara…”

    Her eyes suddenly became blank and she nodded her head. “Understood…” 

    “Come on Light!” Misa spoke to me as she dragged me with her to the stage to watch the show. I looked back at the pegasus as she sluggishly began to collect her forms and close the ticket booth. 

As we neared the audience I instinctively looked down at my wrist watch, a habit that had begun to form for me at times like this. The clock read 3:23 pm indicating the show was about to begin. This show in particular was one that was quite ambitious, which was the reason I first became interested in it three months ago. Run by some hapless unicorn it was going on a tour of Equestria visiting 28 towns all in the span of 92 days from the beginning of summer all the way to the last day. All the while visiting many obscure and hard to reach towns and cities.

What particularly interested me was its ability to perform this tour secondary to all the blockades and checkpoints being set up all across Equestria. Apparently they were all set up in order to reduce my influence, and as far as they were considered it has been working. Not a single name has been entered by Diaper Note in the past three months. Yet, this show was granted privilege to travel unhindered, looking into it, it appears the owner has some royal influence of sorts and it's that reason that I became interested. Before I could continue to mull my thoughts over the show began. 

    “Fillies and gentlecolts! Welcome to the greatest show in all of Equestria now introducing the one, the only, the Amazing Trixie!” I could see the fireworks pour out as I immediately lost interest. I began to question the allure of this show until I noticed how excited and engrossed Misa and the other ponies in the audience appeared. I could feel my mind wander as I momentarily looked back to the mundane show of the mare in front of us making the object vanish and performing sleight of hand. My thoughts wandered back to the Diaper Note.

    There was always something that bothered me regarding the Diaper Note. As powerful as it was there were specific rules that were arbitrarily applied to it. Rules that Nyuk appeared to have no interest in informing me about or explaining to me. The 23 day limitation was one of the first I noticed, but there were others. Misspelled names regardless of the pony envisioned would not work, the fact that I possessed only 6 minutes and 40 seconds to indicate the details of their incontinence also seemed strange, it was also impossible to use the note on infants as they were already incontinent to begin with making me unable to prevent them from achieving continence directly, but there was another limitation that seemed to annoy me much more than the others.

This certain limitation became a nuisance more than anything. Any attempts to use the note to utilize another pony to render an unrelated pony incontinent were negated, and the initial pony was simply rendered incontinent. As such I am unable to use the Diaper Note to induce incontinence in others that are not specifically named by myself. At first I was more annoyed with this limitation, but soon I began to wonder if it was possible to overcome this limitation, but it’s funny. How a limitation like that can quickly be circumvented…

“OH CELESTIA!!! What’s happening!”

I held back my desire to smile as I heard the crowd screaming, once again I was correct, deceiving them, deceiving those above us all, and deceiving even the Diaper Note. Just as according to keikaku***.
