Well now you came up with some interesting answers here.
All of them have some form of truth and one could be consider the answer to my riddle, but alas none of them are correct in this case.
The answer to this riddle is slaughter or to be more precise the word slaughter as you cannot have slaughter without laughter.
All well maybe you will do better with this next riddle.
What do you own but other use it more?
better luck with this riddle.
Yours sincerely Prophet

... Ah, so I suppose I shouldn't expect deep or meaningful riddles from your end hmm?

Word play is hardly a thing to take into consideration.

And this has put in a rather foul mood as well, considering it took me half an hour to pry myself off the ground from Rainbow's and Pinkie's prank yesterday, and now I have to find my glue removed to get rid of the mess at my entrance.

And this riddle is at least a little more understandable.

1#: My Name

It is something I own, and something others use more than I would myself, as I only introduce myself as that and others use it in conversation, identifying myself from the crowd and so on.

I must admit however, that is rather dark in pony standards if one were to take your answer literally, slaughter and laughter are a dreadful combination. The entity must be from a darker place than Equestria is.

"So here is the answer, My Name, I can't be bothered to add a second or third response."

I then burnt it, and the ashes made their way out of this world.

I left my house afterward, having to climb out the window to avoid the mess in front of the door.


Again, Ponyville is in dire need of a map or at the very least signs, I suppose since the town is so close that it isn't that focused of advertisement, but they could do so for tourists at the very least. If I didn't have an enchanted necklace to point to a location of my desire I would have never found it.

After I bought the anti-adhesive I walked around the town for a while, mentally mapping out the area for the foreseeable time that I am here. Unfortunately I was discovered by a certain pegasus.

"... and so, it was agreed that me plus Raindrops and two gallons of cider led to some pretty sexy results." She hovered back to the ground and turned to me, "Got any of that?"

"... Sorry, were you saying something?"

"Ouch! Sure know when to make a mare feel welcome do you Scry?" She flirtatiously winked at me, her enthusiasm not at all dampened by my apparent disinterest, "How about this, you tell me something about your life and I'll promise to ignore it, make sure you don't feel left out."

"Well gee, you shouldn't have." I rolled my eyes as we both walked down the road, "Don't you have somepony else to bother? I am sure that Rainbow would much more appreciate you advances than I do."

"What? Me and Dash? Hah!" She swung her hoof in humor, "I know what your saying, that hair and her attitude, you totally think she's into mares, truth is she is born with a really unlucky color, you should have seen the reaction when I told her about gay pride." She chuckled, "She nearly begged Rarity for a dye job until I talked her out of it."

"Well the point still stands, you seem good friends with her."

"Ah well... we're not really that close actually." She tilted her head side to side, "I mean sure, me and her and Flutter's go way back to flight camp, but other than that not much, besides... she is kind of hanging out with Gilda right now."

I blinked, and turned to her, "A Griffin? Here?"

"Well yeah... how'd you know it was a Griffin?"

"Griffins have a distinctive difference in their names, not named after already existing words and take from the ancient Griffin language, they have their own meanings once translated. Other species also have names the same way here and there, but it's been know that Griffin's always have a particular fondness for the letter 'G', so most Griffins have a name starting with the letter."

A Griffin... just perfect, that's all I need.

"Don't like Griffin's much?" She asks me, I immediately smooth my features and quickly think up an excuse, I decided to tell the truth.

"Griffin's are also know for their rather aggressive behavior, and it is deeply ingrained in their culture and upbringing. Because of that, in my travels you would find that they are predatory and violent at worse, and mean spirited at best."

"Well... I guess I can't agree with you there, I only met her briefly here and there, and she was always kind of angry." She shrugged, "But since she's Rainbow's friend I thought she was alright."

... Well, I suppose since she is an Equestrian Griffin it isn't likely she has any ties with the ones outside the country... best avoid her anyway.

"... Actually now that I think about it, when she was angry she looked kind of hot." Cloud continued, nodded her head sagely.

I simply turned my back and walked away, the giggling nymphomaniac trailing behind.


It was not meant to be however, when a pink blur came into view.

"Hey Scry-Scry! Got a party to invite you to, hope you come, have a nice day BYEBYE!" And then she zoomed away, leaving an invitation in her wake.

I blinked, and turned to Cloud, "Is this a common occurrence?"

"Yeah, whenever Pinkie wants to throw a party she makes preparations fast." She picked up the card given to her and read through it, "Well what a coincidence, looks like she's throwing a party for Gilda."

"... Perfect, hope you have a good time." I walked by, stepping over my own invitation.

"You sure you don't want to come? Pinkie's parties are pretty great."

"They can be tolerable, Pinkie's idea of a party is noise and celebration, I much prefer to clean my house and enjoy a quiet afternoon."

"Didn't she throw one for you coming here to Ponyville?"

"That was an unavoidable exception, I don't even know who this Gilda is."

"Eh, you see I know you have a point there, but that's not going to mean much to Pinkie. Nopony misses out on a party by Pinkie, so I'm pretty sure she's going to notice."

I thought on this a second, considering the pros and cons, and shrugged.

"Fine, I suppose she would drag me there anyway." It might ward off her attention if I just attended a few and got on with life.

We made our way to Sugarcube Corner at a sedate pace.


"... You do know I am prolonging the inevitable, and you could have gone to the party before if you hadn't stuck to my walking pace right?" I say to my walking companion as the shape of Sugarcube Corner came into sight.

"Eh, Pinkie's parties go one for a while, I don't even think they got to the halfway point yet." She smiled good naturally, "And you can be fun to talk to as well, plus, I don't mind a long walk if it means some eye candy~"

"Urg, why don't you jump into a cold river?" She was starting to sound decent with that sentence.

"I would make it a heated bath with how hot I am." I rolled my eyes for perhaps the fifth time that day.

"Sometimes I wonder how you fly with that over sized ego."

"Years of practice, plus learning from somepony worse off. Rainbow can get a really big, bloated ego at times."

When we got close enough to the entrance, we heard a loud voice growling at the other side.

"Come on Rainbow Dash, I said we're LEAVING!"

We exchanged a glance, and looked through the open door, there was the Griffin, Gilda, faced with all the ponies in town.

Seems we both appeared at an inopportune time.

"You know Gilda... I was the one who set up all those weak pranks at this party."

"What do you think is happening? Look's kind of tense." Cloud whispers to me.

"It's just a Griffin's temper on the rise, best just stay out of the way for now." I observed a few details here and there, and manged to place together a few details, 'pranks' were likely what were the main cause of the Griffin Gilda's distress, more than one or two also judging from the toy snakes and broken furniture on the floor, and so she is acting out in anger because of it.

Tuning into the conversation, it seems that Rainbow was telling her off at acting so aggressively, and how she was being very disruptive and rude towards her friends in Ponyville.

"Yeah!? Well- you... YOU are such a- a Flip-flop!"

I couldn't help a hoof to the face, "Really showing creativity there..."

"Yeah, I think she's really thrown off by the hostility here." Cloud Kicker commented beside me, and quickly back away, "Watch ou-

-Decide not to be lame anymore, give me a- UUMPH!" She bumped straight into me, and looked around confused for a second, before glaring down at me.

"Seriously!? Another dweeb pony bothering me again?! That's all I need." I stepped back out of her feathery chest and spat out one.

"Well sorry, I came late to your party..." I commented dryly, she only gave a death glare in response, her claws flexing in rage.

"That's no excuse you feathering PONY..."

"How about, 'sorry, you should have looked where you were walking', or maybe I should drop the pleasantries, I've not known many Griffin's who even know the word sorry." I answered coldly, my eyes irritability staring into her eagle ones, as she continued talking, my ears were twitching in a very... very active manner, "Now, how about you clear the door, before I clear it."

"Why you!" She outstretched her claws and they were making their ways towards me, I hardly noticed the shouted warnings from my side and behind the wrathful Griffin, all I did was dip into my sactual, and another potion came out.

I ducked the swipe aimed at my head, and my back spring forward, muscles tensed, and my tail swung over my head, the glass of the bottle was smash safe, not intended to give injuries. The potion inside has a non-lethal effect as such.

As it cracked and shattered on the beak of the Griffin, she immediately stepped back and coughed and sputtered in protest.

"ACK! Ha- GAK! What the- *cough* feather wa- wuz... zat..." She unsteadily wobbled on her legs and slumped against the side of the door, looking more and more confused by the second.

"... What was in that thing?" Cloud asked in curiosity, I simple breathed in a little, regaining by temper.

"A special mix, should calm her down for a bit-

I pulled back quickly as a rainbow colored blur was the next to swipe at me.

"What the HELL are you doing!"

I put a hoof to my face, this day was not turning out what I liked it to be...
