Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Sunset... really didn't know what to think.
It was a nice change, strangely.
Being the closest thing to omniscient as was possible for a physically incarnate goddess, her mind was usually filled with thoughts related to everything from the axis angles of planets, the entropy rate of stars and galaxies, to the interactions between various atomic and subatomic particle that scientists were still debating the existence of. To have her mind rendered blank was a wonderfully refreshing experience that she wasn't aware she had missed until now.
However, as wonderful as it felt, a blank mind wasn't doing much to address the problem at hand.
"I... this is a new experience," she finally said. "Even for me, which is saying something."
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry about this." The light-blue man adjusted the flight jacket he had found himself in since arriving here, then ran a hand through his dark-blue hair. Under the jacket, a white shirt could be seen, with the image of a stylized sun just barely visible on the breast pocket. A pair of black jeans rounded out the ensemble, a lightning bolt surrounded by two cloudy swirls stitched into it. "I... really shouldn't have tried to Planeswalk without someone more experienced around to assist me, especially when I was so close to other ponies."
"I just want to get back to my daughters," a pegasus aspect who looked like Ditzy said, picking at her torn clothing. Her out of sync eyes drifting down to her lower half, where a tattered green skirt only had one limb protruding from beneath it. "And any word on where my other leg got to? I'm going to need to get used to walking on two legs if we're staying here for a while."
"She'll find it," the man assured her, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Then, we'll get you back to your family." He glanced to another member of the group: a unicorn aspect who looked very similar to one Vinyl Scratch, albeit in clothing that would have been more at home in a steampunk convention. With a button up shirt and jacket that hugged her figure tightly, as well a miniskirt that seemed to have actual gears forming the eighth-note symbols on it. Her headgem glowed as she traced the glowing image of a treble clef in midair. "And we'll get you back to Octavia too."
Sunset sighed, rubbing at her temple. "Look, Mister..."
"Markov," he responded. "Soarin' Markov."
"Mister Markov; I'm sure that you didn't mean it, and really do want you all to get home... but I'm afraid I can't really do much to help you other than letting the proper people here know and have them direct you as best they can. I have enough things to worry about in this universe, trying to find ways between them isn't something I can focus on."
"It's alright," Soarin' replied. "I understand entirely. I just felt that, as the local deity, you should be informed of this."
"Yeah," Sunset absently nodded. "Be a lot less weird of most of you didn't look like people I knew."
Right on cue, and seemingly out of nowhere, a blue-skinned and rainbow-haired pegasus aspect alighted on the ground. Unlike the local Dash, though, this one wore what looked like a some sort of 'dress uniform', with a red jacket buttoned over a white shirt, and a pair of tight fitting pants. And, much to Sunset's concern, she carried an actual sword at her side; a short one, clearly meant for one hand, but a sword nonetheless. It was almost more disquieting than the leg she had brought with her.
"Here, I think I got it before anything started chewing on it." She handed the leg over to Ditzy, who proceeded to work on putting it back into her hip socket like it was the most normal thing in the world. Rainbow turned to glance back and forth between Sunset and Soarin'. "So, any idea what kind of time-table we're looking at here?"
Soarin' just shook his head. "Not yet, I'm afraid. But, we'll see how it plays out."
Sunset sighed, pulling her phone out and calling up Lyra's number. "I'm going to call up someone who can probably help you out, but I can't make any promises either. Just... try to not cause too much trouble while your here, okay? The universe has been battered enough."
I swear I had only indirect influence on Soarin's last name.
And yeah, this world is quickly becoming a major hub of parallel universe shenanigans. Good thing they have someone for that.

Some day in the far future the universe will be stable enough for it not to blow up if Sunset stops looking after it for five seconds. A couple centuries after that, she'll take a vacation. A month long vacation somewhere over the rainbow, where the sky is so blue. And an entire cosmic organization shall form to preserve the peace of their goddess' rest.
Obviously she'll be so used to shenanigans that she'll spend the entire month worried something will apear to ruin it. Either that or say "buck it, not my problem".
Twily will love it, though
For the record, I still have no idea where to take this concept. I mostly just wrote the scene to to get the idea out in the open since your readers tend to be a lot less... I don't want to say 'nice', but saying 'more willing to criticize my ideas' doesn't seem fitting either.
Either way, I'm not entirely sure how I'd follow up on this, or turn it into its own story, but at least it's out there.
Hmm... i might have write something to add to this collection one day
That is if i can find the time to do that
8147184 No, "Kiteo, his eyes closed" indicates a stubborn refusal to understand. "Shakka, when the walls fell" means failure. And really and truly, if I was more awake when I was making my original comment, I'd have gone with "Kadir beneath Mo Moteh", which is more applicable to this situation in any case.
8147637 What is the name of the episode? I need a re-watch.
8148288
"Darmok"
8148288 "Darmok". It's season five episode two.

Thank you.
Oversaturated World is the new Dominaria...
Also, okay, I'm cluless about this part, what iterations are those?
Is that Lich Derpy?
8149087
They're versions of the characters from my alternate universe setting (albeit, with two characters who haven't appeared in it yet). Derpy and Vinyl both appear in The Necromantic Adventures of Lyra Heartstrings, though, so that can provide some more information about them. I mentioned the idea of writing a crossover while doing a joke snippet with a few others in the Flash Fiction Thread, and FoME responded positively to the idea via PM, so I wrote that just to put the idea out there and test the more public waters.
8149096
Yes.
8150197
It's an interesting idea. It might be simpler to put a penaid enchantment of some sort on ordinary steel-jacketed FMJ ammunition. The barrel of a weapon might need to be protected from abrasion if the bullet material is too hard, so a sabot round might be feasible.
Well…give him some chains, to link a third.
8150254
Rifling would get abraded too quickly without something of the sort, yeah.
8147076
Twily's duty during the vaction will be to make sure Sunset can enjoy it. Assuming she's still alive at the time, though I will say that the odds are in her favor.
8147175
I suspect that this will somehow lead to Shimmerism getting a foothold in the Necroverse, much to Sunset's mortification. Cue ponies of that world believing that the Oversaturated World is an Outer Plane.
Actually, that gives me an idea for a companion snippet. One more for the idea book.
8147263
New entries are always welcome!
8155253
Chains? That seems awfully random.
8155725 are there any rules/restrictions i should know about?
What qualifies and what doesn't?
8155710
Bionicle is a Lego action-figure product line that is basically 100% "cheater-pieces"† that don't even have nubs or nubsockets for the most part, with very little in the way of actual building, from what I've seen…
†any piece that could very well have been built out of smaller pieces…and wasn't. For instance…(note rebrickable's name). Granted, this is more bricklike than a bionicle piece…
8155725
Indeed.
8155728
Just brief stories set in the Oversaturated World. T-rated, one hundred word minimum. Beyond that, anything goes. The link to the forum thread where you post them is in this story's description.
8155734
I'm familiar with the sets, just not the story.
I'm also familiar with Markov chains. That was the joke.
8155743 k. Thanks!
8155725
Considering the plans I've tossed around for Sunset in the Necroverse, that could end very poorly for the Shimmerists... and not in the funny kind of way.
8155725 hers and the rest of the girls' too. Sunny is not going to let them go without much whining
That and "you do know your grave will be some pilgrimage holy site, right? And Tartarus if I know how prayers affect the dead, en masse. You sure you want to risk that?"
I bet flutters shall stay, at the very least

The colours were just because Christmas is associated with them, and I tried to make his effects sound similar (get a gift if you're nice, exchange gifts, ultimate is just a gift), but it was meant to be silly anyways.
8155743
Yes, just "that seems random" can also be read as saying you don't, and not-getting-it jokes are always a bit troublesome…which the wink suggested.
