Dear Diary,
Dear Diary,
I have successfully... um... infiltrated, I guess, the Cherry Festival. Arc bought Dinky, Ember and myself costumes first thing this morning, so I fit right in. Everyone in sight is dressed up for the occasion, and I really feel as if I'm finally able to walk among them without turning heads!
Dear Journal,
Went to see the promotion ceremony. Lord Gestal and his prissy daughter were there. Was glad to find Lord Arc in attendance. The other two aren't much for conversation. He made a rather... interesting bet on Footpad Natalya however. She won, as did he!
Dear Diary,
The boys and I, following the boss’ orders, raided a warehouse for swag! Get in, load the truck with whatever we could grab, and get out. Simple, right? Well, I thought so too. And it would have been if that freak in the white armor from the TV hadn’t shown up! I’m not sure why, but the boys couldn’t seem to lay a finger on him!
Dear Journal,
Ember told me a while back she’s been writing down her thoughts into a diary. I thought now is as good enough a time as any to start doing the same! Not an official record. But just something to… remind me of these times someday far down the road. That is… if we live that long.
Dear Journal,
Today my friends and I went to see my new Command Center, and I must say I'm really impressed! After taking in an eyeful, Twilight and I headed for the Gates of Tartarus to carry out our mission. The Marquis has waited long enough!
Arriving at the Vile Tribe's village, we found Mythic Honor doing... whatever it is he does. When I asked him for some advice, he started babbling again! Honestly, I'm not sure if he's a genius or just plain crazy! Maybe both!
Status Report,
I… I don’t know what came over me! My feelings… my actions… my SHAME!!! For some reason I… I slept with HIM!!! Several of the others banged on the door to use the restroom. But I need to stay in here until I feel clean again! The shower didn’t even BEGIN to wash away my recent actions from my memory! No matter how hard I scrub! This is all Arc’s fault! I hate his looks! I hate his stench! And I hate his existence!!!
Dear Journal,
It started snowing today! The snow coating the town just made it more picturesque! In any case... I returned home and read my books. Both of them cover to cover and over again! I'm almost certain of my suspicions, but I need to be sure before I say anything! I'm off to the store to pick up a few things before the weather gets too much worse! If I'm right and we do get snowed in, this could be a matter of life and death!
Plan ahead!
Dear Diary,
Princess Celestia is missing… PRINCESS CELESTIA IS MISSING!!! I hear the words, but… I can’t seem to wrap my mind around them! How did this happen?! Who could have done this?! WHY would anypony want to do this?! Arc… Princess Luna… Cadance… nopony told me a thing!
Dear Diary,
My friends and I went to the Canterlot Library today in hopes of finding a book that would help us rescue Arc! I also scheduled a meeting with the princesses to confess my wrongdoings. Hopefully they will defer any sentence against me until after we’ve gotten Arc out of Tartarus!
Dear Journal,
Well, we're back from camping! Although I wished we had cleaned up a bit before coming back to Light's Hope. Raven had quite the scare upon seeing our bloody armor! In any case, I sent Ember back to my quarters to get cleaned up while I joined my squad in their shower. Afterwards I gave them permission to rest up. Give their brains time to process the past couple days.
Dear Diary,
Arc’s been acting really weird today. Being nice to King Malevolence, hearing things that aren’t there, seeing who knows what, and acting all edgy! I think the stress of… I don’t know… EVERYTHING, is finally getting to him.
Earlier today I was sleeping with him. It felt great as usual and all, but… his body language was really… off! He was really… tense and his sleep was fitful at best!
Research Journal Entry,
I’ve just been made away that the Hero of Light has successfully been able to retain a pony’s soul after death! This is the scientific find of the century! Imagine ponies not having to be afraid of death! Being able to live on after their bodies have worn out! I could work and study without having to worry about silly things! Like eating and fatigue!
