As night falls, creatures of all manners comes out and roams the town. They come out of the seemingly empty houses, and walk the street as if they are the residents.
"How very peculiar," Twilight says, looking through her binoculars: "They don't seem to be fighting each other."
"They seem at peace with each other," Sunset adds: "It looks like they are pretty familiar with everything around here."
"Almost too familiar," Rainbow says: "They might have lived here for a long time, but they are monsters after all."
"Do you think they are just normal people in customs?" Applejack asks: "I've never seen monsters behaving this way! They look almost..."
"Humans?" Sunset says, handing Applejack a binocular: "I know, but they aren't. Here, take a look."
"This seems like a monster settlement," Twilight says, putting down her binoculars and takes out a notebook: "This maybe a trap, so let's get prepared."
"I don't think they are smart enough for that," Applejack adds, taking out a bag full of herbs: "But getting prepared is never a bad thing, just like Granny Smith said."
"Um, girls," Sunset says: "We've got a problem."
Outside of the window, they see a group of monsters, gathered in front of their place, appears to be talking with each other.
"We are doomed," Rainbow says, taking out a crossbow: "But we are not going down without fighting!"
"Actually, I don't think they are planning anything," Sunset says, looking outside of the window: "Seems like they are leaving."
"Most unusual," Twilight says, as she shifts her attention from her rapier to the crowd outside: "It seems like they are walking away."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Applejack says, while spreading salt around the room: "There, all done."
"Actually, they are forced to leave," Twilight says: "Some bigger things came over and they left, how very curious. It's almost like..."
"Like some authority came over and made them leave?" Sunset says.
"Indeed," Twilight continues: "Perhaps this town is ran by monsters."
"Pfft, don't make me laugh," Rainbow says: "Those cryptids? Running a town?"
"Rainbow's right," Applejack adds, assembling her mace: "They are nothing but brainless killing machines."
"If that's the case," Sunset explains: "Then we were surrounded by mindless killing machines just a minute ago! They had every reason to maul us right three and then!"
"Maybe," Applejack says, while pouring fire powder into her weapon: "But wouldn't it be easier if we let our guard down?"
"They are not intelligent enough to form such a plan," Twilight says, taking out her notebook: "The best explanation we can get is that they formed some kind of society."
"That would the the sixth strangest thing I've ever heard," Applejack says, loading her crossbow: "So we going out or what?"
"No, we are stay indoors," Twilight says while flipping through the notebook: "This town is built in a way that any evil presence won't be able to exert violences on others, on the premise that they are left alone."
"Well, that's disappointing," Rainbow tosses her crossbow aside: "So what are we going to do now?"
"Easy," Twilight closes the booklet: "Turn off the light, and observe."
