I forgot what is it was like when the enemy actually had their identity concealed, with the number of times these names are brought up it's kind of crazy.
Welp, Flash owns trixie a big favor.
Spike is fixed? Poor Spike
Luna taking care of both Gummy and Angel? Poor Luna
Camp trip next weekend. I really wanna see what kind of shennanigans they get involved with
Looks like the horoscope wa completely ignored this time.
PHRASING!

Read this story and find out
5924077 In simple terms, it's a video game series in which (usually) teenagers and (sometimes) young adults gain the power to manifest their own inner selves (typically in the form of mythological beings) to battle the demons and monsters created from humanity's darkness and despair.
The first two games were heavy on a central plot and more standard RPG elements. They had a Main Character that you could name yourself, but otherwise you still controlled the whole party. The third and fourth games changed that into a "daily life" simulator with the larger plot happening in parallel, and focused more on a second-person account of "your" life as the Protagonist while you helped your friends with their personal issues and they joined your party during plot developments.
This series is also a spinoff of the larger Shin Megami Tensei franchise from publisher/developer Atlus. It is affectionately known as "Megaten" and has been around since the 16-bit era. The Persona series itself dates from 1996 on the Playstation 1. The latest game is Persona 5 and will be released sometime this year.
Okay, so this weekend is the big day. This is either going to push us two steps forward, or FIVE steps back depending on how Fluttershy takes this exposure.
._.
I can't wait for when they get to the farm! It looks like we'll finally figure out for sure if Fluttershy is Eris!
So, how long until Sonata's videos get spread all over Canterbook? Should make for some interesting Blue/Red text on her Birthday.
I thought that Flash was going to get Trixie and her band to sing some of the songs Sonata and her sisters used to. And Fluttershy's reluctance to go with them is telling, is it not?
*Sigh...* As stupid as this is going to sound, despite all of the circumstances pointing to it, my own bias has been hoping against hope that Fluttershy isn't Eris. With her seeming so hesitant to go to the farm, a place bound to have animals like Applejack said, that worries me.
On a barely related topic concerning Fluttershy/Eris and my bias: If 'Shy were to use a weapon, I can't really think of one that would suit her more than a staff, which is exactly what Eris uses... I did say I was hoping against hope, didn't I?
5924068
It isn't the first time that's happened, either.
Ah well. I suppose the Derpy Social Link is DLC.
In any case, it should be interesting to see how well Flash's favor works out. We'll find out in a bit more than a week.
Fluttershy's hesitance could just be... well, shyness. It's going to be rather awkward with thoughts of Applejack's father looming over everything. We'll see.
I have a bad feeling about today...
I hope this doesn't go too badly...
I think I know where this is going...
You poor, innocent fool....
Flash, explain to your girlfriend why this is a bad idea!
This is going to end badly....
Soon.
"..."
"Told you so."
"But it's YOUR horoscope, not mine!"
"Still, I'm NOT wearing the gimp suit, Twilight! Not even if you borrow Pinkie's whip!"
"B-but my leather suit... I thought you'd like it..."
"You're not guilting me into wearing full body latex, Twi."
"Damn."
I sigh. "Fine, I'll sleep with you and give you a Persona."
"WHAT?! NO! I don't want to sleep with you! The Great and Powerful Trixie has recently learned some... delicate information, and wants to know what... *ahem* what Twilight Sparkle likes in a woman."
"..."
"Of course, I can always direct you to a singing instructor..."
"...I'll get back to you."
*on the day of the match*
"We lost by THIS much!"
"If only Pinkie hadn't skipped that day, we would've won today!"
"Took me three weeks to get the smell out of my a--"
"Ah think they get the gist, girl."
"There's these HUGE fruitbats that you just GOTTA see! They're as big as ponies!"
"And I should know, Mom and Dad said our old dog was really happy at the farm they sent her to when I was little! She should be having so much fun right now!"
"Um, Twilight?"
"Yes, Fluttershy?"
"...no, nevermind. I'm sure she's having fun."
"Then why does he keep humping our legs?"
"That? He's just a perv."
"Does she HAVE to go? She's been shedding so much fur I was making a beanbag out of it! I'm halfway done!"
"And if Angel refuses to eat his salad, Luna's gonna have to cut a wabbit."
"I was planning on spending the weekend on Netflix and Weedit in my pajamas..."
chud.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/critters20.png
"Oh! I love critters! Why didn't you say so before? Those cuddly sharpy spines, those adorable little fangs! Let's go!"
"Twi-Twi's got a dirty mi-ind!"
"I'm sorry, it's this room! My mind associates this room with sex, now!"
"The clowns are ready, the male stripper's ready, the clown stripper is reserved, and the Taco Fiesta Explosiva is booked."
"Flash! That's totally inappropriate! You know Sonata would want the Moonlit Taco Serenata Explosiva for her birthday."
And a few minutes after falling asleep, I wake up and run to a cold shower after my subconscious refuses to budge from the "Sonata/Fluttershy/farm" combination.
Hahahahaah

Huh.

Looks like SOMEone is upset at all the speculation about poor Fluttershy going on in this fanfic, and hacked the whole site to let us know.
5925898
You know, when I saw that, I ALMOST posted about it here. I'm glad that someone did though.
okay I have to ask:
would bonus costumes for the zodiac emergency response group be the mahoushoujo outfits for the mane 6 from ~FRIENDSHIP IS ï¼ï¼¡ï¼§ï¼©ï¼£ï¼¡ï¼¬ã€€ï¼§ï¼©ï¼²ï¼¬ï¼³ï½ž and Flash's Shadowbolts uniform from the Loyalty arc?
I can Just imagine Twilight's response to hers...
5926618
I think you mean "Zodiac Investigation Team". I don't know where did you get zodiac emergency response group.
And if this story was implemented in a fully developed game, mendling together narration and gameplay, having full stats, dialogue options and proffesional voice acting, then maybe one could add those costumes as alternate skins for the party.
though I must ask, when did Flash wore a Shadowbolt suit in that story?
5926664 The ZITs vs the ZERG :)
>>Hidden Scorpius XI
zef actually said it but ZERG makes a better acronym than ZIT (at least in my opinion).
but as to flash and the shadow bolt costume. I had a mental image of flash switching to a shadowbolt costume during the end scene of loyalty ch 5, so chalk it up to an overactive imagination connecting dots that might not be connectable.
5926618 No. Also, you're confusing Tomodachi Flash with the Flash from Mauroz's comic.
5926764
But this is not your story.
Never happened. Never going to happen. One has nothing to do with the other.
5926769 Yes. Yes it was.
>> MythrilMoth
"No. Also, you're confusing Tomodachi Flash with the Flash from Mauroz's comic."
I might have been confusing the two admittedly.
"But this is not your story."
No its not my story but I believe I have the right to call the group what I like in my reviews. Unless you actually have a problem with me calling them the Zodiac Emergency Response Group in said reviews, if so then I will stick to Zodiac Investigation Team
5926924 When you reply to a comment, click the ">>" button on the comment you're replying to. That way, it actually shows as a reply. Typing ">> (name)" isn't how it works.
In any case, correcting you on the acronym thing is more so you don't earn the irritation of the regulars around here. The guys who have been following this story for months can get a little irritable with newcomers. (And, admittedly, your phrasing irked me just a bit.)
5927266
What?! Us? Irritable? We certainly don't know what you are talking about. I am sure NONE of us were about to link the fact that the S.Link names clearly refer to the team as Zodiac Investigation Team.
None of us.

5925898 Now, this morning, I saw this...
orig12.deviantart.net/3f1c/f/2015/121/3/8/fimf_2_by_skydragon90-d8rpkca.png
Is Eris real!?!
I'm wondering if Flash's horoscope was hacked the past two days. Yesterday may be the hacker helping them, but I find it very unlikely that he/she could predict Flash and Twilight almost forcing Fluttershy to work on the farm. Our hacker may be taking a break so as to not draw attention to him/herself. Of course, if the hacker is Eris, she already blew it on Sunday...
5927266 I understand not trying to get people irritated, but I have been following the story since about mid January. I thought creating an account might help get alert on certain stories sent to my email when they were updated. That is the only reason I haven't been leaving reviews sooner.
and I apologize if my phrasing irked you a bit. I was actually trying to do the opposite and be polite in my small (and to this point only) criticism of the story.
And I apologize for not knowing which was the reply button. I am more familiar with ff.net and deviantart's comment and review systems.
5927909 Don't worry about it. The ZERG bit just caught people off guard, since we'd all grown used to the other one. Fun fact: during planning sessions, Moth and I started referring to them as "ZITs" mostly as a joke based off the pun, thinking we'd give the team a proper in-story name when the time came (we've also indulged in a few "popping zits" quips during IMs). But we liked it and it stuck, and even though it hasn't been used in the story yet, it was semi-canonized by the author's notes and by readers using it in the commentary. So the community has grown attached to it as the "official" term :p
I wouldn't dare guessing how many readers are familiar enough with Starcraft to catch the Zerg pun, but my guess is that the additional injoke level makes it less immediately recognizable than just "zit", hence the reticence to accept it. (And, personally, I thought you were just making a joke at the acronym's expense.)
5928155
In my defense, I think my response to 5927909 was more civilized in comparison to other times.
If I was antagonizing him, I apologize all the same.
5928195 I've never played starcraft, but I am familiar with the term ZERG rush.
5928235 It wasn't antagonistic at all in my opinion. so apology accepted and no harm done.
5928148 No. And I honestly resent your insinuation to that effect. The major events in this story were mapped out months ago.
5928148 Developments like these are typically planned out weeks or even months in advance. So, no, it wasn't "copied" from you --nor from anyone else. Fun fact #2: there HAVE been a few interesting notions that have been brought up in the comments, but even though we've discussed them privately, we have never incorporated anything that wasn't already determined by the overall story flow. Some things have shifted around, been accelerated, or slowed down, but that's all due to the natural, organic growth of the story. Moth is keenly aware of the audience's reactions and does his best to keep readers interested, but it's precisely because we want to avoid claims of "copying" that we can only comment on the comments, without deviating from what was already planned. He has a very firm hand on that.
Piece of advice, though: unless you have undeniable proof of it happening, it's extremely rude to even suggest to an author that they're "copying" ideas from the readership during the development of a story. Commentary of that sort is what has caused some published authors to recluse themselves from fan communities to avoid that kind of accusation, or, at the very least, refuse to read/approve of fanfiction.
5928261
Thanks man.
Going back on the skins' idea... If this story was made into a game and had alternate skins, I believe MM would actually demand that all the girls wore Qi-Paos as costumes ten times over the Mahou Shoujo costumes.
5928360 fair enough.
I was just thinking it might make a nice omake chapter for persona-eg
5928404 You didn't get the joke. Doesn't matter.
But seriously, stop thinking of Gameplay Elements on a Fan Fiction. Narration trumps over gameplay. In an actual game, it'd be the other way around.
I'm helping you here.
5928478
In the story where we have the daily calendar schedule, Social Link events, etc?
And just to put a cap in this whole thing's ass: It's always been in the plan for the ZITs to get special battle outfits after a certain event.
5928531 thank you for that information, I look forward to seeing what they will be.
5927490
Gonna admit, when I logged in and saw that, the first thing out of my head was "God damn it Eris."
Is this the secret blackmail that Mephistopheles has on Eris? That she secretly loves "My Small Squirrel"?
5928531
Those are things that you can't get rid off, since it would remove from the Story. Skin changes hold no value to the rest of the story, except of what you have just revealed.
There are weird cases like Rainbow's and Pinkie's death and Zecora calling out on Flash for not using the Velvet Room's, where if this was an actual game, those scenes wouldn't have had the same significance or wouldn't have happened altogether because of the player's actions.
That's the point I'm trying to convey.
5928666 Yeah, I get you, I just had to take a poke at you over that.
I haven't been on here in fucking forever
Geez Twilight, get your head out of the gutter.
