The Text, omnipotent being, gets in an argument with The Text. They've picked a human to drag to Equestria, but that's about where all agreement ends and the argument begins. Will it work out for anyone involved? Maybe the typos.

The horror!

your less cruel than me. That offends me. Seriously.

you're.

Another!

The mystery is how will he cope!

He will.

The death of the author and so on

So which one is a devil and which one is a demon? They both are dicks for forcing this on our poor soul he said no to adventure and they still threw him into one. Not cool any way I look at it.

That poor sop.

This is Bob. He won the lottery and was happy forever! The end.

Not all author are jerks. Just the ones who put through their protagonist through the ringer for basically nothing. I want that happy ending.

I'm still waiting for The Text to drop a pony in this world. And now there's two Texts? Both sending boring hominids to pony land?

7757046 There are more than two, if you understand what the Text is.

I haven't read any of the silver-verse stories but this is pretty good.

I think you broke my mind. :rainbowhuh: But maybes that's what I get for trying to understand this. :pinkiecrazy:

It's... like he's talking to the universe itself. The one choice you can't make is for things to not happen to you.

The greater the challenge, the greater the reward.

No, no it's not. I have some experience with this. It's only true for some people, not everyone.

"Magic horses?"

Yeah, like the ones in tales from the crypt robot chicken.

No wild adventures, no missing parts. No magic horses. How's that?"

At least give him the compulsion to call himself Pegasus.

At first we were like, "wait, is he talking with Damaged?" then I was like, "no way!"

Well, the tag definitely fits the story though what happens to the obviously confused human is left to be seen though his choice is the safer bet though I doubt the Text(s) would allow him to do just that.

Also, is the Lyra mentioned here the same one from 'It's Okay to be a Pony'?

7790870 Nope, these are Texts from the Silver Verse.

*holds a crystal orb in his paw* I'm surprised the Texts haven't made one of there victims brain damage before they set foot in the new lands poor bastard.

7757167 Think bill cypher orders a pizza.

Is it a coicidence one of the texts have a point of vue similar to what you said on 40k in your comment last time?

I'm not sure I grasp?

Nothing i just wanted to see if a discussion (well discussion...more like just an answer to a question i made) we had in the comments of one of your stories inspired/influenced the way you made one of the text in the stories.

To be honest i doubted it but you never know.

This was a collab. I was one text, and another writer was another.

The Text argues with someone, or argues with itself? Either way, very meta. Though in the end, I would say despite coming out ahead in the argument Blue ultimately sabotaged itself and ceded to Red by abandoning the moral high ground its victory gave it. What follows is likely the human's table and home being sent to equestria. The choice is a trick, to turn his words against him. But he outright says he refuses to submit to it, so Blue punishes him for not doing as desired, giving him a penalty instead of a boon. The end will likely be him not going back to his old life, but just returning to his "home" transplanted to equestria, or by redifining what his home means to fit The Text's script.

Insightful and frustrating, in how it seems to show how The Text's interference overshadows events, making them more about what they want rather than presenting an actual story. Though with something meta like this it brings up a question; is that an intentional thing done as part of the universe's plot, or a perceived side effect of a malicious interloper?

The Text is the author's urge to create stories, warring ever with the desires of the characters in the story, the desire to be read and enjoyed, and the desire to tell the tale they wanted to tell.
