Chapter 6: Work in Progress

Dear Journal/Diary or whatever these things are called,

In the beginning, nothing of note has happened since my encounters with the Phantom Stranger (I'll cover him in a different entry) and the meetings of my first two Displaced (More on that later). Until I found you at the new bookstore in town. My Death Note. The thing that brought me to this world. I bought you for no reason other than I feared that you might actually work and some random person would buy and use you and create all sorts of problems. Interestingly enough you don't work at all, other than your whole infinite pages thing. I tested it out by writing Time Turner's name in you, and like in the anime by heart attack. But no news of a his death appeared in any newspapers or magazines over the course of four weeks. Now you might be wondering why I would write Time Turner's name and not King Longhorn's or some other criminal. And my answer is simple: I wanted to test out the fan theory of whether or not he was a pony version of Dr. Who like so many idiots* in the fandom believe. If it had worked the good "doctor" would have simply "regenerated" into a new form. And if I had been wrong and it worked and Time Turner was not the good "doctor"? Well....I'm pretty sure I can resurrect the dead if I find the right form. Though to be honest I wouldn't be too cut up about it if I couldn't bring him back. I mean unlike certain other background ponies Time-Turner would have to be the dullest, so if anything I would be doing Equestria and the fandom a favor by getting rid of him. Anyway, with you dear diary I'll be able to talk about certain things that I don't even share with dear Little Strongheart or Braeburn. I think that'll be all for now. Until next time.


Dear Journal,

Sorry I haven't written in a while things have been hectic lately. I've put my physical training on hold for a while to focus on training my magical prowess, I don't want to rely solely on the raw power of Shazam or Green Lantern's ring (Alan Scott's by the way) to win my battles. So I've begun to utilize more technical (for lack of a better word) Spellcasters such as Doctor Fate and that shit-stain sycophant Felix Faust. However, lately the Helmet of Fate has started to fight me whenever I use it, which shouldn't happen! But I've managed to put it back in it's place for now, all the more reason why I should continue honing my skills in magic.

The Shamans of the Buffalo have been quite helpful to me despite my magics being quite different from theirs but I know I'll need the assistance of others proficient in magic without resorting to getting help from the Princesai. Hmmm, maybe I should take the time to travel the Void to see if I can find some magically inclined Displaced to aid me. I'll put it down on the "Maybe" list. For now I'll just have to use what I already know (which is a lot) and hope for the best. That's it for now, tomorrow I'll talk about the first two Displaced I met. Until next time.


Dear Diary,

So today's the day I talk about the two Displaced I've met so far. The first is Umbra the Overlady. Where to begin with her..... Umbra is... to put in simple terms....Hell I'll be blunt. Umbra is immature, funny, easy-going, perverted and a host of other things I could name. Seriously this girl is just....ridiculous, but in a good way and not in an obnoxious way like certain people I can mention *coughDeadpoolcough* Her "quirks" surprisingly make me laugh (which is hard to do these days), roll my eyes, face-palm and groan with frustration and exasperation at the same time. To make a comparison I'd say Umbra is like Zim (only a bit smarter and sensible) from Invader Zim but with Dark Magic powers. Even though I've only been with Umbra for a few minutes (hours?) she gave me the impression that she tries to be evil but truthfully she's bad at it, though I can sense the inner darkness that she has that is mainly attributed to what she is an Overlordlady, making another accurate comparison to that of Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. I'm actually looking forward to seeing her again and its only been a few days since we've met.


To continue where I left off last page, the next Displaced I'm going to talk about is Zinnia the Draconid a.k.a. The Delta Guardian (whatever that is).

......
......
......

I don't think I'll be able to say much about her without blushing. When it comes to perverts Umbra is Godzilla while Zinnia is King Kong.

......
......
......

(My hand can't stop shaking)

When I met her we talked about things mostly the Displaced, we sparred, talked some more then we were attacked by the Wrecking Crew of all things (more on that later). Afterwards she was too exhausted to leave so she ended up staying here in Appleloosa. Things happened....and I ended up telling her something about me that I've never told anyone in my life before I got Displaced or afterward. Not even Little Strongheart or Braeburn. Armed with this information she's a real threat to me. I admit my paranoid self says go and visit her for a night (she'd definitely welcome it) and with one quick twist! Then it's all over. It'd be so easy.

.....

But no. I shouldn't even entertain that idea. My more reasonable but still paranoid self says I should at least put a curse on her to prevent her from talking about it or at least ensure that if she does vengeance would be swift. Another side says I should trust her and if I'm so worried I should at least keep a close eye on her.


I don't feel so well. I think I'll just end it at that and go lay down for a while. Maybe after I do I'll be able to write more about Zinnia.

Author's Note:

*No real offense intended to those who associate Time Turner with Doctor Who.

Whew. Another emotional new chapter. Here you get a bit of a look into the mind of Black Alice. These Journal/Diary entry chapters will be a recurring thing. Whether or not they stay as their own separate chapters or become a part of regular chapters remains to be seen.

As always tell me what you think in a comment.

I like these journal entries.^^ Also, yay, Umbra is the eqvivalent to my most favourite Kaiju ever, even if just in the metaphorical way.

6818838 Not to burst your bubble, but I think she might have gotten those two mixed up. In my mind, Godzila is superior to Kong, by virtue of being able to breath radioactive fire alone, and I think we can both agree that Zinnia is a bigger pervert than Umbra.

6819225
Ssshhhhshhhh! Of course Ina mixed those two up when writing! I realized that the moment I read it. Of course Godzilla is superior to old Banana Breath XXL as much as Zinnia is a bigger pervert than Umbra.

I just wanted to enjoy this as long as possible.:twilightsheepish:

6819225 6819381 You're both wrong. I made the comparison based on the fact that officially King Kong has beaten Godzilla in a fight more than once. And since Zinnia is the bigger perv, Zinnia beats Umbra in perversity just like King Kong beats Godzilla.

6820033 Okay then, personally I think King Kong had bulletproof plot-armor in those, but still.
6819381 Guess you can enjoy being Godzilla for a good long time then.

6820077 I'm not the one who made those movies so blame them.

6820033
6820077

I guess in that case, yay me.=^.^=

6820200 I almost compared Umbra to Gammera but that didn't feel right.

Invader Zim with magic powers LOL, the thought of that can't help but make me laugh.

6820322
Just take a moment and imagine that. Zim. With magic powers.

6820298
And I am glad you did not. As much as I like the old sabertoothed Turtle with rockets in her butt, just... nah.

6820345 Though when you say it like that it looks pretty funny in my mind's eye.

6820361
T´was my whole intend, to speak in jest of one of the sacred guardian beasts, to paint a smile on thine face fairest Inazuma.

Also, I´m obviously prone to speak like a Dark Souls 1 character for some reason, even though I only ever played Dark Souls 2.

6820336 And we already know what he's like with advanced alien technology but with magic: I think these quotes sums it up nicely:

Zim: I put the fires out.

Tallest: You made them worse!

Zim: Worse or better?

6820376
Especialy once he would have figured out the Inferno spell. XD

6820373 Heh. Save the sweet talk for Alice. Who knows Umbra might be able to bed Alice next time.

Alice: Hey! I didn't agree to that!

Hush my sweet.

I've never played Dark Souls 1 or 2 so I've haven't noticed.

6820388 Oh hell yes. I can already picture it.

6820450
Dark Souls 1 characters speak all Shakesperian, which I find quite amusing. Dark Souls 2 characters speak more normaly.

Hmmm, is that so? You heard that girl?

Umbra: Yes but based on what we have seen so far, I am pretty torn between being scared and aroused.

6820529 It's one of the many reasons why we love Luna so much. Maybe the reason they stopped doing that is because they realized too many people were pausing the game to look up what the hell they were saying.

Alice: Heh. Maybe I should be the Overlady and you should be the Mistress.

6820778
Yes, yes it is.^^
Hmm, my money would rather be on the several hundred years between DS 1 and DS 2. Time changes speech.

Umbra: *fainting goat noise*

Great, now I need to reboot her.

6822962 That too would also be a good reason.

Alice: Serves her right

And just how do you propose to do that? Does she have a reset button?

6839447 I've no idea what you are referring to. What the hell is that?

6839519 Masque of the Red Death - Edgar Allan Poe

6839521 Oh. I suppose in a way Alice is like that.

6839526 "Black Fury, Red Logic" In the Masque of the Red Death, there is a lord who traps himself from the Red Death plague in an abbey, and one of the rooms has a clock in it, the room has a black theme, and blood red windows. The man wearing the mask, is the red death, anyone who touches him, dies of the Red Death, where the person's face bleeds profusely until they die.

6839529 I see. Well due to Alice's abilities she can definitely cause that to happen to someone. By the way thanks for the idea enhancement.

6839549 No problem. I imagine the Red Death as someone's face exploding, it happens in an hour, and anyone who has it is immediately shunned by family and friends.

6839557 I'll have to look into that. Let me know if you get any more cool suggestions like that.

6839593 Read some stories by Poe if you want to read something dark. He writes a lot of poetry and short stories.
