I knew the presence of Bed Time intrigued me, and The Case of Bed Time just gets more intriguing.
Explains how she, as a "normal pony" joined the adventuring party outright.
Now we get to speculate on whether Blank Slate winds up as a blank slate person in their apartment or not.
5928509 I hope not. Imagine what Brad would do with her.
Make an inn, make an innkeeper. Actions have consequences, and it is the nature of living creations to exceed the expectations of their creators. Hopefully, Paul appreciates the degree of power he has in this world.
Rarity isn't a blacksmith, no. Goldsmith, maybe, but that's hardly a martial metal.
Given that Ponyville is home to its own heroic band of do-gooders, it's no wonder they're okay with it.
In any case, after that warm welcome, the party has some time to connect with the locals before seeking out some more wrongs to right. How many of those there are remains to be seen. Hopefully Paul won't synthesize too many of them...
This is starting to remind me of the old tag-line for Girl Genius.
'Mad science rules the world... Badly.'
Except for mad science, it's newly ascended gods that don't have a clue what they're doing.![:twilightoops:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightoops.png)
You sure this isn't a horror story in desperate need of a dark tag...?![:trixieshiftright:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftright.png)
Anyway, crippling existential horror aside, a rather sweet chapter actually. No joke even, it was really nice seeing Bed Time getting such instant and unhesitating support from the others.![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
Interesting twist!![:twistnerd:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twistnerd.png)
Though I wonder about this line:
Since Pinkie doesn't know her, perhaps it should be:
I just think I know the ponies of Ponyville... but they don't know me.
Or is this just a case of "It's Pinkie Pie?"
I can't wait for Pinkie to notice Paul's narration and hijack it. If any normal pony can do it, it's her.
Dun dun dun!
And now Bed Time has to start to deal with her existential quandary, but at least she does have a supportive stallion at her side.
Though for extra terrors, will she poof out of existence as soon as the game is over? No way to know until it happens, but their lives on Earth are on hold until they finish, and lollygagging too much means they run out of pizza money and starve to death. So they can't afford to drag things out indefinitely.
As for Blank Slate..
my vote is that whenever they pop to Earth, their avatars all vanish except Blank Slate, who suddenly wakes up and goes about his business. He thinks he imagined the whole thing, and is a terrible daydreamer/sleepwalker, and surely always has been.
I actually have a small theory:
Paul can make edits to the flow of Destiny, but Destiny still carves out what happens.
So Paul makes a character from whole cloth, and Destiny will fill in the gaps, the retroactive changes, and so on to make it align with how Harmony properly goes.
For instance: Paul made Vinyl a vampire (vampony?), and Destiny when it finally overruled Paul made it so Vinyl roleplays being a vampire to align with what happened.
So I expect Blank Slate to eventually have a story (and personality) carved out for her, to be as close as possible to explain why a pony would be a willing medium. Paul, prepare to meet your first worshiper in the church of Paul.
Except the Church of Paul will probably be as silly as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, just to mock him.

Is there a tag for 'fridge horror'?
5928552
I personally really like that theory, and hope it's what's going on.
And it would even explain why things have gone so relatively well for our heroes, since they've so far been bumbling if well-meaning horn-dogs, rather than dark god wannabees.
I'd bet any 'edits' of the 'and then I, the narrator, manifested in the flesh and took my rightfull place as the god of this realm! Bhahahahagh!' type wouldn't turn out nearly as well as Bed Time and her inn did.
Oh, yes, please have that be what's going on! I can near see the disbelieving facial expressions, and they are glorious!![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
While Bed Time is understandably upset, as soon as she gets used to this development it's actually a good thing. Now she can cut Equestria loose and stay with her guy with no regrets.

I petted softly along Bed Time's back

... Yeah that's got some pretty awful implications, there.
Let's hope things stay consensual on Brad's side, whatever that means when dealing with maybe-personalityless-blank people.
5928667 Fixes applied so the adventure may continue!
I feel so bade for Bed Time she is in a bade way is she real? yes. does she have a past life? yes & no.
this is a grate chapter to just sit and think about.
Harts Fire
Cool, I wonder how long it will take Ian to realize that if Bed Time is a figment of Paul's imagination, he's basically dating Paul's daughter.
5930813
Thing is, I don't think she is a figment of Paul's imagination. She is an oversight; an uninitialized variable that Destiny filled.
Oh no, the awful truth of typos!
An existinal/existence crisis, I believe I had one of those,
The story is complete so there should be no harm in speculating on the plot....![:rainbowdetermined2:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowdetermined2.png)
At this point, I have to theorize the badguy(tm) encountered earlier is one part of why they got there to begin with.
The other part being the Ponyfinder Sun Goddess thinking outside the box to take care of the villain invading a realm outside her jurisdiction, a realm run by her more peaceful counterpart. No fated heros in position to take on saving Equestria? No problem, just send a little of her power to some willing substitutes...
Now to read on and see if any of this is correct...
Painful existential crisis is painful. :( poor BT
I had been wondering that, coming out of last chapter. Honestly, with the new building popping up like that, I'm surprised it took Pinkie as long to notice as it did.
