The Apple on board hasn't been introduced yet.

His name is Crab, the sky and seafaring Apple.

Rye Mash... Intelligence officer, Pirate of the Skies, and Ancestor to one Button Mash avid Video gamer.

Or so i'm guessing.

4749937

No. Not Button Mash.

Rye Mash is Berry Punch's ancestor. And not too distantly related.

Button Mash doesn't even exist in the Chase Verse.

Awwww... Too bad... Because I almost had a vision of bloody Velvet looking similar to Love Tap, with the exception of coloring and being a unicorn.

Oh well, fantastic read anyway

4750010

Bloody Velvet is Twilight Sparkle's however many great grandmother.

4750027

That makes far too much sense. It really does. Quick question... When did Celestia in the Chase/Catch Universe start her school for gifted Unicorns?

I can't see bloody Velvet not being in that school. I would think that Celestia would want to help her with the obvious bouts of neurosis, panic, and emotional repression that she's most likely faced or still has.

Unless of course her family didn't want her to attend said school.

Oh well. Still I look forward to reading more.

Oh, she was in Celestia's school. Graduated. Got the shivers.

Somehow, for some reason I almost picture a type three, or a type four, without opening themselves up to friendships theme song to be this:

That picture frame

Those hoodie strains

They are driving me insane

Unequel pizza slices

Fonts of different sizes

It's more than I can take

Missing parenthasis

Uneven capris

Googling "askew"

Bags opened from the wrong end Should be recognized as a sin,

Along with An unsolved Rubik's cube

I gotta make things right

Make it the way it's supposed to be

It's my OCD

Toilet paper facing inwards

Un-synchronized synchronized swimmers

A closet that's not organized

Pills removed out of sequence

Sideburns that are not even

That one rebel mini blind

And I gotta make things right

Make it the way it's supposed to be

It's my OCD

Baby I gotta make things right

Make it the way it's supposed to be

It's my OCD

OMC! If Berry Punch and Twilight are related I will explode!

There was hammock

There was a hammock

Equestrians bits

don't need that S on Equestrian

Okay, This has progressed rather quickly.... Not that that is bad, But I would like to have a little more detail on Rye's background (Although, from The Chase, I know that will probably forthcoming when it is more relevant.).

4750982

Yes. In time, more will be revealed.

4749979 No Button Mash. But Button's Mom will be there, won't she. Maybe she can be the earth pony in Rising's herd.

4751049

No. And she would be old enough to be Rising Star's mother.

4751106 That didn't stop Thistle. Or you could at least add a Steven Seagal pony as one of the crew members.

Fantastic story as always. This and The Chase are swift becoming my favorite stories

Just noticed the "Alternate Universe" tag on this story... Could this be a hint at something AMAZING? Probably not. I'm pretty sure it's just referring to how this is a different reality where minor things are tweaked, making it a different universe in small aspects...

I'm also pretty sure I'm overthinking this.

Ok, so we've got Bloody Velvet, (presumed) descendent of Clover the Clever and ancestor of Twilight Sparkle. Unless Lyra's the descendent of Clover, and Twilight is descended from Star Swirl.

Crab Apple, the chef. I guess his ancestry's irrelevant?

Bon Bon and maybe Pinkie are descendents of Chancellor Puddinghead? being superproducers and whatnot.
Derpy -- and maybe Spyglass? -- are descendents of Hurricane and Pansy.
Rye Mash is descended from Smart Cookie, and is Berry Punch's ancestor.
And, of course, Bucky is descended from House Avarice, who are descended from Platinum and Sombra.

So we're missing, at least, a Smart Cookie, Puddinghead, Clover, and Avarice Descendant on the ship. Or, if you're going with the Mane 6 aspect rather than the Founders aspect, a Pinkie Pie, a Rarity, and a Fluttershy.

Please continue if you will. Right now that i've gotten that out of the way, and have caught up on both stories, I'll have to say that they are exceedingly enjoyable. I'd like to start and say that you should write whichever story gives YOU the most enjoyment. I love the Chase, but to me the Catch is a side story to help explain the back plot of the Shetland Isles. I'm not saying to stop the Catch, it is just that I am not yet as enthusiastic about it as I am about the Chase. Posting this as you asked for audiance views of the situation

She’s more of a defensive sort, but she has some doozers as far as spells go.

I think you mean 'doozy'.

This is a doozer.
