Open mouth insert foot.
That seems to be a running theme.
Mephistopheles... The agent of Lucifer. Then this was probably someone working for Eris.
Hey look at that, it WAS important how the Pie family got the video. Yay for me and my theory-crafting.
Well, Flash was able to prove that Eris isn't Sunset Shimmer in a really convincing way (unless SS pads her bra). Good for him noticing information like that, now if he only learns to do something about his incredible ability to screw himself talking....
So now we have Mephistopheles, its SS alias, Eris alias or a 3rd party. So many questions, so little info. And that is good, no matter how many times I forget we have just finished boss 4 of 12, 1/3rd of the story. We shouldn't have enough info to resolve the mystery yet.
Wow, I think it's the first time an horoscope prediction is so prominent in one chapter, in the way that it occured many times. Now we have a possible third antagonist, and ZIT isn't even close to corner down any of the other two. This is getting really interesting, and I hope they're able to fix things soon.
I swear that I cannot find what OTR means (flameshields on).

*decides you're serious* It means "on the rag".
Welp, I'm hoping Pinkie's parents fall into a wood-chipper soon. Anyone got any better fates?
Names, names, names! So many people, who may all be one. Both us and the Investigation Team know absolutely nothing. I pray for a beam of Truth to clear the Fog.
Not really a fan of how extreme Pinkie Pie's parents are being written. If this was something that could be somehow extrapolated from the series proper I'd probably be more okay with it, but it feels too much like these personalities are just being invented for the sake of drama. At any rate, I'm not finding it particularly interesting.
Conversely, I am very curious to finding out more about Eris and Sunset Shimmer, so seeing a little development on that front, however slight, was nice.
I think I can guess as to whom Mephistopheles is, but as to who Eris is that still has left me a little confused.
5550548 I can agree with what you said about Pinkies parents, but at the same point her parents have always been presented to us as Amish stereotypes, and with Pinkies personality this in my mind would be a very normal reaction to her behavior.

I looked up the definition of Mephistopheles on my Ipad while reading this and it said 'an evil spirit to whom Faust, in German legend, sold his soul'. I got a good laugh out of that. Is that what inspired you to chose that name, or was it just a coincidence?
Now then am I the only one who cheered when Celestia slapped Mrs. Pie?
5550548 Well canon Pinkie parents are a kid friendly version of this. They REALLY don't like what Pinkie does (or at least consider it too childish and unimportant). Given, the only time we have gotten a characterization from them is from the 2nd book (Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party), and at the end of that book they kinda accept her way of doing things (probably had more to do with her saving the family business than anything else).
In this story they are shown more strict and what Pinkie did was a lot more serious, so I don't really see it as a exaggeration. (Really, 2 or more generations ago a reaction like that would be considered acceptable)
5550766 It's coincidence.

I'd go the other route actually. In the opera Faust, he's a devil who makes deals for human souls, in exchange for things like power (ever heard of a Faustian Bargain?). I would hazard that Mephistopheles is the Bigger Bag who is behind Zodiac, and likely gave Eris her powers. I've been thinking for awhile now that there was no way Eris was the mastermind, so this fits into my head canon pretty well so fa rThough to be honest, I was expecting Nyarlathotep.
5550534
I was just thinking that if the Pie parents found themselves stuck in Zodiac, I wouldn't be in a hurry to rescue them. Might do the Beef Bowl Challenge instead that day...
Mephistopheles? That's... odd. Not a bad choice, but definitely peculiar. I have a thought about what it could mean (and if I'm right, it's a damn clever choice—certainly not something I would have come up with), but I think I'll keep it to myself for now.
5550766 Dude, let me just say something here. Whenever a horrible person does a horrible thing that effects a very good person and gets punished for it, and you celebrate, than you are NEVER the only one who does that.
Well, that's a new player. Mephistopheles...
Who the hell is that?!
As for Flash, you really need to start reading your horoscopes. They're actually really helpful.
5551255 So, you think Eris's Persona was awakened artificially, rather than her surviving a Zodiac attack? That's something I've been pondering as a possibility for a while. Might explain why her Persona was summoned in red light. (Or that could have been because it was a Reverse Arcana, as has been speculated previously.) It's possible that the Persona she's been using isn't her true Persona. Do you think that going after the inhabitants of the Applewood Dorm was the fee she was charged, rather than being her own vendetta? (I kinda doubt that myself.)
As for Mephistopheles, it could just be a name that someone (perhaps one of our villains, perhaps not) used to send that video. I wouldn't want to place a bet either way at this time.
5551484
If I may cut in, potentially related to this idea is a certain detail on said Persona's portrait (in 8/23 I believe). A very small, very out of place, very familiar detail, located about the navel.
5550534
Rock slide. Fittingly ironic demises for such hard asses are sometimes more satisfactory than a gruesome one. Plus in this particular case, it has the additional benefit of not being out of place...
5551590
That is way too early. Eris' Persona first showed up on Pinkie's birthday: 10/28.
Mephistopheles. A peddler of knowledge, but not of wisdom, who exacts a terrible price. Hmm. I'll keep my speculation to myself for now.
Someone really does need to take Dash aside and tell her how angry Fluttershy is with her. This is really not helping their situation.
In any case, the Pies... well, the Pies don't really have a leg to stand on here. They've disowned Pinkie. Are they going to claim custody just to toss her on her ear? Yeah, I'm sure the courts will be thrilled with that one. Of course, they may just take the opportunity to wash their hands of the whole thing. We'll see.
5551590
I think you mean 10/28
And Yeah, it stands out. It looks like a butterfly to me, but colorful butterflies are a common theme for Persona, as they are often a reference to Philemon.
Another player in the game? Wait a minute...I just had a thought about Mephistopheles identity, but it doesn't make any sense. Unless... Too many variables and not enough data. I wonder if Sherlock Holmes ever felt like this?
5552417
Holmes solved the case as soon as Eris showed up in person. :(
5552548 I would disagree, but I'm certain you're right.
5552630
Better question: Has Raidou Kuzunoha solved the case?
5552752 I'm certain L from Death Note has a lead.
Celectia is awsome
Hell yeah! Celestia comes in for the win!
5552752 He hasn't just solved the case, he's already beaten down the Big Bad and is currently relaxing in the Narumi Detective Agency with Gouto.
Mephistopheles is a demon in German folklore... I look forward to seeing how that plays out.
I see what you did there...

5550510 What does that mean? I know you said it but I have never heard that saying before today if you don't mind me asking.
Well Flash, at least you didn't mention that you groped her.
Mephistopheles huh? Interesting choice, using the Bob Smith of fake demon names. It literally means "I spread lies" and is a go to fake name for demons to give out.
5557294 Actually it's Hebrew, it just became famous due to a germanic play.
If only family problems were this easily solved in the real world. Still make excellent to read though, especially when Celestia explained she blew up at Pinkie's parents.
Double texts!
The first one is kind of a curveball. Thoughts?
6582608 And though I'm not certain of the origin of it isn't eris suppose to be a goddess of chaos?
7950708
Yep. Discord, Disorder, Strife, and Chaos. Basically a female Discord.
Oh snap!...I kinda wanna see that now. 😂
This has Sunset written all over it. Why does this name sound familiar... Mephistopheles.
Wait
Mephiles
I think Sunset did this... no, I know Sunset did this.
