Day 6 (4 posts)
What? Morning already?
Well guys, I'm safe, and I found the scouts. Soon after I entered the forest, I noticed that several of the trees had been knocked down, so I followed them until I heard a voice call out. It was Zecora calling from her home. I hadn't known I was so close to her house, but she invited me in and I found the scouts there.
Zecora told me there was a Minotaur on the loose, and to leave the house would be foolish. She had planned to harbor our scouts until the Minotaur left, but he didn't seem to want to leave.
So I stayed at Zecora's last night. I also showed her the letter, and she said that it was the language of the Changlings. Unfortunately, Zecora couldn't read it, so I don't know if that means the Crystal Empire is in danger or not.
But here's the best news I've heard in a while: The book Twilight remembered seeing? It's here! Zecora had it hidden away, but she said I could keep it if I found it. We spent half the night searching before Pinkie walked over, moved a couple masks, pressed a secret button, and picked up the book it revealed. "I just thought, 'If I was going to hide a secret book written by my ancestors, I'd hide it behind creepy masks, too!'" Pinkie had said. The episode literally pointed right to the book's hiding spot and nopony--er, nobody--ever knew! (Wow, it's actually kind of strange to say "nobody" now... I've been here too long)
So I, hhhhhhhhh! Mm, sorry, that was a yawn... So I stayed up all night reading it, and I'll probably be reading it all day. It has everything! It even mentions earth. Did you know I'm not the first person to come to Equestria? It has journal entries by this kid--it's really quite interesting. One thing it said in an entry was that for some reason or another, when a person comes to Equestria, the new body doesn't register sleep. You can go to sleep, I mean, but it doesn't get any rest. So to my body right now, I've been awake since I got here!
I'm going to keep reading. I haven't found the spell to cure ponies that have been "clouded" if you will, but if I find it, I'll let you know. I just... keep falling asleep due to fatigue, and I'm afraid that since I'm not getting any rest, eventually I'll fall asleep and not wake up... not dead, just asleep. It's a scary thought, but I'm not going to let it distract me from learning all I can! Twilight's helping too, although she's a MUCH faster reader than I am!
I'll post again sometime today; no idea when, though. If you have anything you want me to che you--bleh! Check. For. You. (sorry) I'll see if this book covers it and check periodically to see comments and reply to them.

Okay, there's a spell here that might work. It's not specifically to cure a mind that's been taken over by a dangerous villain known as Stormcloud, but it's close enough to try. But it's really complicated... I don't think I could do it, but Twilight might. If she can't, then the Princesses could for sure.
There's something else in here about people and ponies or something, but I can't really figure it out. I think it means something like, for every pony in Equestria, there's a person on earth as its match... or something... I think when I came here, I took over the body of my... what's the word I'm looking for? Congruent? No, no... I don't know, but anyways if this body is technically housing two beings at the same time, it would make sense that it would get any rest in sleep.
But, James, you look awful! You need sleep!
Oh! We could liberate the princesses, then they could send you back each night to sleep then bring you back during the day to be with us!
No! I'm fine. Besides, if I went back, and my parents saw me... there's no way I'd be able to get back here. I can't go back before this is over.
But you have to sleep some time! You can't go on like this forever.
Then let's finish this game quickly. All we have to do is save the princesses, get them to bring Rainbow Dash back, heal all the ponies of this spell on them, and use the Elements of Harmony to defeat Stormcloud. Easy, right? Shouldn't take... longer than... a week...
James? Don't fall asleep! You may be too tired to wake back up.
I'm awake! I'm fine. Leave me alone.
What?
No, I mean... I'm sorry. Don't worry about me. What about this Minotaur? The only one I know of is Iron Will, which means he must be under... Stormcloud's control, right? So let's try the spell out on him. If it works, we can use it on all the ponies under Stormcloud's spell. Ta-da! Problems solved. Nopony has to fight.
And, guys, I'm still reading this book. A lot of it is this guy's journal. Apparently, he came here and took the form of a zebra, living with Zecora's ancestors. That makes me wonder if I know any... body on earth who is matched with a pony from the show? I might know who Diamond Tiara is...
That's it. Anything you want to add, Twilight?
Ooh, James, here read this. Oh, and no, I'm good.
All right. Twilight, I'm sorry.
For what?
I don't know. Everything.
Why so many frowns? We have a way to save everypony now! I say this calls for a party!
A party?
Yea! With pin the tail on the pony! And music and dancing! And you can be the first to taste the punch, James! Doesn't that sound like fun?
Haha, yea. Sounds great, Pinkie. Looking forward to it.

Orders:
If possible, get back to diamond dog hq. we can't risk trying the spell on iron will, since if it fails, you're going to get gored.
Zecora, if you can make anything that would make James not keel, please do so posthaste, and with much zeal.
YES!
...
*ahem*
Anyway, we could also use a plan on how to use poison joke as a weapon.
Zecora, I'm putting you in charge of researching how to weaponize poison joke.
And twilight, test the spell.
By the way, where are the princesses, and does anypony have any idea on how to free them from their stone imprisonment?
Wow! Zecora gave me a potion, and boy do I feel better! She told me it's only temporary, but I am SO glad to have it.
She's packing... everything. This zebra has got a LOT of potions, and she wants to bring them all. Then there's a few plants, some keep-sakes... I told we're not leaving forever, but anyway. She's also fairly certain she can make a potion to melt a hole in the forcefield covering the castle. She knows how, she just needs the ingredients. That's where both princesses and Discord are, so if we get in and out of there unnoticed, we'll have a huge step up on fire-power!
Once we're finished packing, we'll head back to HQ. Hopefully, we don't meet that minotaur and we get to practice the spell on a chained-down pony instead.

Somehow, Twilight is walking, reading a book, and casting the spell with me all at the same time. How on earth do you do that, Twilight?
Mh-hm, yea james, that'll be fine.
Huh, I think we lost her. Anyway, she, Pinkie, Zecora, the scouts, and I are almost back to
Huh? ...oh no...
hh hhhh hhhh hh Twilight, look! The entrance to the tunnels is blocked off! There's been a cave-in!
Huh? What? A cave-in? James, I don't think that could happen. The Diamond Dogs dig these tunnels all the time, and I've never heard of a cave-in before. Besides, they could always just dig out again.
But they're not! Gimme that book! How could-- Stormcloud. I knew we hadn't seen enough of him. Guys, I'll talk to you later. Pinkie, come on!

I was so worried, thanks Celestia you are safe. Tell Twilight to go sleep, she need a rest, you too. But We all know how she act when find a new book.
That's great!
.......
....
.....
.....
.....
....
.....
Yeah, that's all I have to say.
Cue twilight:
YesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!!
Not an order:
Twilight can you look through the book and see if you can find a rejuvenation spell? We could use one of those for Sarah and James.
3415707 Really? Thanks! Good luck with your project!
James, you can do this. Relax and read. Be on your guard, but seriously, of all poeple/ponies, you definitely need rest. This is good.
Hi James, I am really happy that you are all okay, if you excuse my outburst I could all hug you ... so now that is better
.
We really need to find a way so you can find rest, does Twilight know a recuperation spell or does maybe Zecora know a potion that would help you? I also want to mention that the leader of our enemy mentioned that he was originally not from Equestria, maybe the book is from him. Could Twilight look for clues about that?
And please be careful with the Minotaur, I don´t want to see someone get hurt.
I also have a question did you find time to speak with Twilight about diplomatic relations with us? I the near future we will need something official in that area, or there could be later problems.
HI James! Not sure if you can see or hear videos if people over here send them... If you can, then I have some morale-builders.
Some of these (Most of them) Are human classics. I'm sure the ponies know a few as well .They probably know a lot.
Anyway, my suggestions:
A few lyrics may have to be cut out.
Les Mis 'Do You Hear the People Sing
This si supposed to be the Equestrian National ANthem... Idk. Here are the lyrics: (I do not own)
Blessed bodies of the Heavens
Sun and Moon of greatest light
Bathe us in your warm embraces
Shield us with your peerless might
Help us to stand firm as mountains
Doing right and shunning wrong
May we find our strength in friendship
Unite our herd as one group strong.
Kindness save our herd from sorrow
Laughter lift us through the day
Honesty shall purge our anger
Generous we'll be in our ways
Loyal to our roots remain us
Day by day the magic swells.
Love and tolerance shall lead us
O'er the seas and hills and dells.
In brotherhood we stand together
In sisterhood may we find grace
The Sun and Moon shall ever guide our
Never ending pony race!
Why should we fear threats of discord
Standing now all here as one?
We shall find our strength in friendship
Herd unite as one group strong
Remember the Heart Carol! I'm sure everpony knows it.
Edelweiss (Sound of Music)
Obviously, you wouldn't use the whole thing. BUt it's a pretty inspirational song.
Impossible!

Edit: and pinkie pie, I know that you must be super duper excited to throw your first party for the rebel alliance, and please feel free to, but please, for James' sake, you can't invite him. I know it's sad, but would you want him to fall asleep halfway through the party and not wake up FOREEEEVER?
James. I don't think you grasp the situation. You're invited to a PINKIE PIE PARTY. A PARTY. Thrown by PINKIE PIE.
Oh, and I have a pony counterpart! Cue Rainbow: OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH! I wonder what her name is! And what's my\her Cutie Mark!? If I came to Equestria, I would, like, BE HER!?! That. Would be. SO. COOOOOOL!
3416943 Could someone/somepony say how to get to that party
3417161 Do you mean the zebra that has gone to Equestria? Or do you mean someone else?
3417161 Well, me and Night Heart are trying to create a portal that only certain can cross, though I would ask to go through. I am not that hysterical when it comes to seeing ponies or such, and I need to be at the base and front-line camps to oversee the defense systems.
3417325 Yep, Stage Quill got me here. And now I am overseeing the defense systems for the base, along with Night Heart.
3417350 I would say that when the time comes, that we create a gremium that will find usable persons and under which conditions must be met for them to travel there. For example is there any family or associate that would miss you, would you be willing and able to live as another creature, would you be able to live without the comfort of our todays technology and society. That are only a few points we have to think about.
Additionally as I already mentioned, we need an official status within Equestria. I don´t know the laws from Equestria but it would be possible without an official verdict from someone authorized like Twilight that we could be seen as an invasion force. And I don´t think that this is something that anyone of us want to happen.
3417387 True. A wise idea, as usual.
3417411 Not many humans would want to give up there organized, planned and comfortable life. With this gremium in place we would be able to ensure that the people who really want to go there, know what awaits them. Maybe even a few want to live there, to make this possible we need to clear all the open spots in our information pool, so we are sure how to handle all the upcoming situations.
3417443 Well, as soon as the gremium is cleared, please notify me. It is in my best interests that I can supervise the making of defense systems for the bases.
3412882 Listen, the spell you found is great. Also, I am working on two important projects: One is an emotion beam that could weaken/reverse the effects of Stormcloud's control spell, which would be strengthened by the spell you just discovered, and I am also trying to find why you seem to be inhabiting another body, and if so, how to stop your doppleganger's mind from being repressed. After all, a repressed mind in the body you are currently inhabiting could be the reason you feel so tired. I could reverse these effects, and possibly having two minds active at once, especially one similar to your own, in the same body may make you more alert and magically powerful.
Weeeeeeeell, sh!t.
3418096 the cave in
This can't end well.
