The next day you spend more time getting to know the townsfolk. They're all friendly enough, but there's a certain dread hanging in the air.

As you learn more about them, it seems everyone in town has lost friends and family to Equestria Online. It's not surprising, nearly the entire population of Earth has emigrated at this point.

Of the people in town, they all have different reasons to avoid EO, fear, hate, stubbornness. You remember there was a great deal of Religious opposition to emigration back in the day, and it seems a lot of the people around town are in that boat as well.

After a few days, the community agrees that you're free to stay as long as you do your share around the farm. There's plenty of work to be done, and it never hurts to have extra help.
