Twilence looked through the update without saying anything.
Orchid bristled at how long this was taking.
Twilence smirked. "We are going to evacuate the town, as per Josh's excellent suggestion. Diorite, think you can handle that?"
Diorite paused, then nodded. "That's... That's a good idea."
Prancey whooped. "YAY! YOU FOUND A THIRD OPTION!"
Diorite nodded. "We can take care of that ourselves actually. There is no need for you to stay."
"EXCEPT TO FIND THAT DIE!" Vriska shouted, digging through the krill still. "Okay, I need some luck. Who wants to volunteer to become extremely unlucky and fall flat on their faces for the next few days?"
"We cannot afford that," Orchid said. "Just leave the die."
Twilence frowned. "I'm not so sure... Letting it fall into the Dark Lord's hands..."
Vriska growled. "I should ask Aradia to go back into the past and find it for me-" Vriska's eyes widened. "Oh no. I do that in the future, don't I? And she brings it back to me! The future me! It might not even exist in this time! AAAAAAAAAGH!"
Twilence lit her horn, scanning for magic signatures - and found none. Though the die hadn't really given any off to begin with. Whatever it was it wasn't magic, at least not in the traditional sense.
"Looking could be pointless," Orchid said. "It is a powerful artifact, but Aradia can bring it back. We need to head to the South, it is a precarious journey. And we are going to try to make it in one day and night."
Twilence nodded. "Right... Tomorrow, ice altar. Then the Capital. Do we have time to stop over the archipelago's altar, for another ally?"
"The altar is in a public location, so yes."
Twilence grinned. "We'll have a full party soon."
"It all depends on your definition of soon. We should go now."
Twilence sighed. "Right... Prancey? Diorite? Wound? Sorry, I have to go again."
Infinity shook her head. "Me too..."
Prancey giggled. "No problem! Go save the world or whatever!"
"I plan on it. Stay safe!"
"We will be - the Forest has a few secret places in it!"
Twilence nodded. "Well... How are we going to do this?"
Fluttershy extended a wing. "Well... All of us can fly. Let's fly there until we can't."
Infinity raised an eyebrow. "AHEM?"
"Ruby can carry you."
Ruby nodded impassively, grabbing Infinity. Twilight gave Prancey and Wound one last hug before they took off towards the Ice Shelf...
~~~
It was night. They were still flying. It had started to get really cold and windy.
"Okay..." Twilence shivered. "This... This is annoying!" she yelled through the intense winds.
"What!?" Orchid yelled, unable to make out what she had said.
"NOTHING IMPORTANT!" Twilence rolled her eyes. Now was as good a time as any to talk to the Influence she supposed. She was momentarily struck by a feeling of oddness - the crisis with Pebbleton was supposed to be more of a big deal, and yet it wasn't. She didn't know why this struck her as odd, it just showed up in her head. She shook it. "Well, Josh, you had a good idea. Thank you. I... I just don't think it would have gone well if we chose any of the previous options. And thank you for your kind words. And to everyone who asked about the die, I am sorry, we just... didn't find it. And it is making me nervous, but one of the first things I'm going to ask Aradia is for her to go get it, next time we see her. Afizah... You're right, the moonless night would match up with Nightmare Moon since the day she appeared she eclipsed the Sun, though that was years after Sombra... Celestia, we are almost exactly one thousand years in the past, aren't we? Anyway, Afizah, we know Sombra isn't the Dark Lord - it's Siron, Corot, or both."
She flapped extra hard to avoid capsizing in the wind. "And about all this Alpha Timeline stuff... I think Josh is right, we can change things, defy prophecy. Even Aradia said she has a hard time dealing with what we do. I don't think it necessarily means we win though... But we know Vriska survives. And something tells me I do as well. I really don't know what though..." She looked at the Eye. "...Are you telling me things?"
"Maybe."
"Oh. Hi Mite. Creek and I say thank you for all you've done, by the way."
"Accepted."
"Ponygood, that thought about how reality works - I mean, it's interesting, but it seems a little pointless at this point. If we exist with a direct connection or indirect as you say, does it really matter? The same things are happening all around us. It doesn't change anything. Creek, we don't need you to talk about your past. But we are here if you need to. And I often find that ponies - and people - need to talk about their past. It may be you've already done so and don't need to again, but if you haven't... Well, we're here. Also, don't type your stutter, it was awkward to read as it was. Probably fine to hear, but text leaves something to be desired. And Ponygood, as for your question... HEY VRISKA!"
"What?"
"If you can control luck why do you get crap rolls?"
"Running low at the time! Have to accumulate it! Since I don't like removing luck until people's hearts stop anymore, not as easy as it sounds!"
"Got it!" Twilence flew over to Ruby and Infinity. "Hey, Infinity!"
"Hey, Twilence!"
"Haven't really talked, have we?"
"Not really. What's up?"
"Wind. Lots of wind! And yelling!"
"Yeah, I got that too! Also I've got a dragon embedded in my back!"
Ruby said nothing. Twilence smirked. "That you do. So, did you figure out what your cutie mark meant?"
"Not entirely sure. I think it has something to do with infinite ideas maybe? But that seems wrong. Maybe I'm just an outcome of random chance? Who knows?"
"What else happened while you were with them, by the way?"
"Well I was scared at first, but then I realized how corny they were. Ruby here was blind faith incarnate and Orchid was easy to infuriate. Also M - oh M, you know, the Motherboard? - they were absolutely deadpan SNARK. The hate for Orchid was obvious no matter what she commanded."
"Sounds like the Motherboard..."
"An ironic 'celebration of the Oracle' party was performed just to annoy her!"
Ruby growled. "It hindered our progress."
Infinity laughed. "That was kind of the whole point! Semi-rebellion!"
"This is why I hate machines. OW!"
"Payback," Mite announced.
"...I am one with the wind..." Ruby said, trying to calm herself.
And then the gust hit. The wind came from above, catching them all by surprise. They were tossed into the ground with alarming speed. Luckily the snow was soft. Unluckily the snow was cold.
Fluttershy stood up, chattering. The snow was up to her neck. "Ok-k-kay we c-cant travel in t-this..."
Orchid nodded, shivering herself. She brought out the spheres for Proteus and Castorson, green and black. Great trees grew out of the ground and started glowing with the soft energy of stars. The snow in the middle of them began to melt. Ruby hastened it by breathing fire.
Twilence blinked. "...What exactly are the capabilities of the spirits?"
"They are each attuned to one of the six elements - Water, Life, Cosmos, and Magic. We are missing Mind and Blood."
Vriska raised an eyebrow. "Does Blood have to deal with personal connections?"
"No. Blood is all about physical power and control."
"Okay, explain these elements to me, they aren't like any system I've heard of."
Orchid nodded and explained while the others set up camp. "Life and Water, Cosmos and Magic, Mind and Blood. Green and Blue, Black and Purple, White and Red. Proteus, Alderan, Castorson, Ine, Gamnemnon, Vester. The Elementals had many other elements - some suggest there were hundreds of thousands of different ones - but those were the six that rose to the top and defined themselves as the dominant. Life is all about living things and nature, Water is all about the nonliving, the substances from which life draws from. Cosmos is all about the Stars above us and the space between them while Magic is the substance from which all spells are drawn. Mind deals with thoughts and calculation while Blood deals with power and emotions."
Twilence laid down on a roll of fabric she created. "Interesting. The Elements where I come from are different - more about how to live your life than anything. Magic, Honesty, Loyalty, Laughter, Generosity, Kindness. I have read some texts that equate these to more traditional elements, of course. Magic, Earth, Air, Cosmos or Void, Water, Life."
"No fire?" Orchid asked. "Most standard systems have a fire in there somewhere."
Twilence shook her head. "Nope. Though I have a friend named Sunset who would be fire... Wonder what that means... Empathy Fire? Redemption Fire? Hrm..."
Fluttershy blinked. "There's somepony we could bring."
"What? Sunset?"
"I mean, it's an option right?"
Twilence shrugged. "I don't know... Something to consider I suppose. Still bringing in Aradia and Evermore Pinkie. At least I'm pretty sure about Pinkie, I suppose I could be outvoted. And whatever the other one is."
Vriska yawned. "Well, it's sleep time..."
Twilence nodded. "Yes. Yes it is."
~~~
Twilence looked at the red eye.
The red eye looked back. It did nothing this time.
Twilence sat down and shrugged. There really was nothing to do here anymore. The eye was there - it was always there - and it'd probably be there tomorrow night as well. Twilence didn't think she'd be sleeping the night after.
The night of the moonless sky.
Or the day of Nightmare Moon's eclipse.
Afizah was probably right about that.
Were the events related? Twilence knew Nightmare Moon came into existence because an evil entity took advantage of Luna's anger at her sister - a very real anger, Luna had confided to Twilence once - and created a monster. But it had never been clear where those Nightmare Forces came from. Many thought the moon itself, but that didn't make much sense - how'd they corrupt her when she was nowhere near it? And if it was through her natural connection to the celestial body, why was it not more gradual?
Did the Dark Lord have something to do with it, maybe?
...There was no way to know. Not until it happened.
She bit her lip. If given the choice, once she knew, would she change anything?
She didn't know.
The red eye continued to stare at her.
"Oh stop it already, you aren't as creepy as you think."
Nothing.
~~~
They walked along the snow-covered peninsula alongside the shore. The salt water of the sea was enough to keep it from freezing over, but not enough to prevent small patches of ice to form. Everyone was bundled in magically conjured coats - save Ruby and Mite, who needed no such things.
The scenery was... boring. Snow only looked beautiful for so long. It was all very flat and boring. The wind had died down - they could have been flying - but they were taking it slower for now. The Ice Shelf was a large geographical feature, they didn't want to miss a snow-covered Altar just by rushing over it.
Twilence noticed a feature in the distance. She pointed at the top of a snowy hill. "There. That looks like a spire of ice."
Vriska raised an eyebrow. "So it does."
"Could it be the Altar?"
Ruby flew over to it to see. It was a giant spire of ice pointing directly out of the snow, letting the low-hanging sun's beams through beautifully. The snow wasn't sticking to it for whatever reason, and it was semi-melted from the sun's direct rays. Ruby reached out to touch it.
Before she did the spire opened up like a flower, turning into eight tremendous spinning blades. Ruby ducked back before they could slice her in half. The flower rose up into the air on a strange mobile strand of ice, from which numerous thorns appeared. The creature easily towered over all of them.
"Ice monster," Infinity said. "I don't know what I was expecting. Something less plant-like?"
Ruby bathed the creature in her fire breath, parts of it melting off, but it still came for her, whirling like a saw blade.
"...You know, maybe we should help her?" Fluttershy said.
Ruby dodged another attack from the ice-flower with elegance.
Twilence shrugged. "I think she has it."
Another ice monster erupted from the snow directly in front of them, this one looking nothing like a flower. It was mostly a giant pair of jaws with sharp teeth, though it did have two pointy icy arms. It charged - Orchid shattered it with the power of Ine. Ruby took the flower down with another belch of fire, leaving only a writhing tower of ice.
"Okay, these things are weird," Vriska said, picking up a piece of the toothy one. "This is literally just ice. Nothing else at all."
Twilence raised an eyebrow. "At least it looks like they won't be too much trouble."
~~~
A few hours later...
Twilence, Orchid, and the rest of the group stared up at an ice creature that was too large to comprehend. It was made of numerous hydra head shapes, tentacles that snaked far out of sight, insect shapes everywhere, random places made of geometry, flower-blades alongside literal saw blade shapes, and a single cubical head the size of a small mansion.
"Welp," Twilence said. "I can see why ponies don't like the Ice Shelf."
Then the Eye lit up. Twilence facehooved. "Of course."
can't think of a way to deal with that thing right now so i'm going list a thought or two for now; i think GM wanted to use that situation as an example; that no matter what we chose there would be consequences, and was not expecting a reasonable third option to show up; not that i would have kept quite if i had known that; there were just too many lives on the line
Welp! You just had to provoke Murphy's Law, didn’t you?
And I would agree to bring Sunset. I don’t know much about her other than her affinity to fire.
Though if you go with any pinkie, then you would finally understand her a lot more. After all, all those unexplained incidences would finally have an answer. Like who she's talking to when she is not looking at you; how she can pull things out of the hammerspace in her mane; and why she speaks of a fourth wall and why she regularly breaks it.
Hey! I don’t always break the fourth wall. I only do it when it would be funny. Hi, Twilight! Can’t wait till you get home to tell us all about your adventure. Dashie is going to be soo jealous.
........The Hell?!
8412748
Clarification: Murphy's law stays that whatever the worst is that could happen, will happen. Murphy's law is especially keen on answering the question "what's the worst that could happen?" or disproving statements like "nothing bad could possibly happen!"
I'll try to make a more in depth message later, Twilence, but I'm not in a good position to do that right now.
I've already been through lots of therapy over what happened. And even though I'm still a nervous wreck I feel like I'm in a better place now then I was before. I'm sorry Twilence, but I...Well, I guess I'm just sorry. I'm so tired of being how I am, jittery, afraid of upsetting people. I didn't always have a stutter, I remember back on Eliptis-C before any of this happened, I was on a women's basketball team, I was confident, and happy and...well I guess I just miss the person I used to be. It could be worse, I suppose, my son loves me, I do have a couple friends that have stood with me through everything, and I have a steady job. Which isn't something a lot of people that have been to jail can say. So I'm certainly lucky in some ways.
I'm sorry for telling you all that.
I think getting Sunset might be a good idea, she's your friend and fire magic would be useful. But it won't really help you now if this is the alter you ask for Aradia. So you'll be cold anyway. I mean, if you want to get her here and get Aradia at the next one, I don't think that'll be a big problem, nobody said that you couldn't put off getting Aradia until the final alter. The thing about time travelers is that there's no urgency, as long as it happens at some point.
I still think Pinkie would be good to have, even more so now that you understand what talking to people that aren't there means. I mean, Pinkie doesn't have an eye in her chest, but she was probably talking to her version of an Influence. Like Sonic Rainboom Dash was talking about. Though I'm not sure you can pull things out of your mane unassisted. You are aware that you're just a character written in a story, which is more then other people can say.
I'm not sure you're only 1000 years in the past. I mean, how has no one you've met know anything about Equestria if you aren't further into the past then that? I'm sorry, I don't really know either way, but that doesn't sound right to me. I guess you'll know for sure when the moon comes back and you see the Mare in the Moon on it's face.
Be safe Twilence, extreme temperature is dangerous. And talk to Fluttershy, I don't think she's changed as much as you have on this journey and is worried about you.
I agree with Creek. Talking can help with most problems, even if all that comes from it is you venting the frustration to someone who will listen.
Okay! Using a phone to say this type of long-winded comment isn't a good idea, but now I have access to a computer! Yaaay!
Okay, so i'm going to try to take advantage of Aradia's time-traveling abilities. When future you eventually gets Aradia from the final altar, future you should tell Aradia that there's no time to explain, and she has to come back in time to collect the Die from the krill piles, then come forward in time to present you, and give Vriska the Die to defeat the ice monster. Afterwards, when the danger's done for, present you can tell her why future you sumoned her from the altar, and that she has a bunch of time loops to sort out now that she's here. After that, just let her do her thing, stabilize the time loops, and ultimately help you defeat the Dark Lord. Hahaha, I can think relative to non-linearly organized events in time!
Anyway, yes, I do like to contemplate the nature of reality. It's a bonus if anyone's willing to listen and discuss, so that we can both develop our own ideas together, but it's not entirely necessary to be with others. And, besides, I think we'd all much rather be in our own homes to contemplate that sort of stuff, as opposed to being about to be eaten by a giant ice monster thingymerjigger.
Maybe, near the end of this story, GM himself will appear in an aura of holy glory and answer any questions you may have about this adventure. And even if we do reach the end of this story, I believe you will still continue to exist, and go on a wonderful journey through the multiverse, but we will see a "completed" tag on this story and get no further updates. But what would happen to your Eye, and what would you want to do with it? ...meh, that's not important right now.
I have an idea for the final character we can get from an altar. It is the Starshell from Broken Mirror, and it is a very cool transportation vehicle. It's a little flying drone-thingy that can go really fast, turn invisible, teleport a short distance, and has moderate protection. Its passengers are converted into magical data and stored inside itself, where they can control the actions of the Starshell, and then they can be returned to physical matter when they want to exit. However, this is a bit of an experiment i'm suggesting, because the Starshell is just a machine, with no personality of any kind, and I'm not sure what the limitations for altar summoning are. So, to all of us, if you plan on voting for the Starshell, I also recommend you keep a backup vote in case this experiment fails. My backup will be Evermore Pinkie.
Oh, yeah, and did you ever explain your whole situation to Mite? And aren't Four and Knify still stuck in space?
To Mr. Eyeface McWatcher: Dude. Stop Eyeface McWatching Twilence. Not cool.
I think any pinkie would be a good idea to have, she would probably get something right with 'just a hunch'. She would probably have her own version of the eye.
She is one of my favorite characters. Never assume that nothing bad is going to happen and you're not going to get in any trouble because you might. I know I stated the ovious. Well good luck Twi your going to need it.8413240
If sweetie Belle was there then that would be possible, don't honestly know how she can but I'm not going to question it. but since she's not, I say melt the dang thing.
Hello there, Criterian. I think the best way to traverse the rest of the Ice shelf would be to find a way to bring water to the ice, and use it to make a bridge of sorts. Maybe Orchid could help with that. She DID scuba dive for a while. Also, my vote for summoning is a new one, Looping Sunset Shimmer. Fire, keyswords, alicorn capabilities, and a great deal of other things are within her abilities. Best of luck.
8413669
But summoning any Looper might inject this world into the crazy mess that is the Loops, and that wouldn't be very nice.
8413674
Not really. It would be a variant for Sunset, and as the current universe Twilence is in has brought in characters from other universes, it might be a fused loop, which would explain Twilence/Twilight not be awake. It wouldn't break anything.
8413723
A Fused/Variant Loop is still a Loop Instance, which would be reset by the Loop's end. It would also make it impossible for Twilence to achieve her ultimate goal of traveling the multiverse without waiting several eternities for the Admins to finally fix Ygdrassil, if Twilence even became Awake.
8413745
I suppose. It would've been so useful to have a looper... Ah well. Evermore Pinkie.
8413755
Crap, I'm going to have to mention that if an Evermore is summoned, it might turn Twilence's universe into another Recursion. It's not as bad as turning it into a Loop, but it would still cause some undesireable stuff to happen, and not allow Twilence to travel the multiverse like she wants. And, besides, there's already two other Equestria Recursions, one of which is a post-apocolyptic alternate Equestria, so do we really need a third? Stupid complicated crap biscuts.
Some other Pinkie should work. Not Looper Pinkie, not Evermore Pinkie, and definitely not Realm of Chaos Pinkie that destabilizes the world, but some other Pinkie. ...I guess just regular Pinkie should do, since she should still be an Aware despite not being Evermore, Looper, Realm-wielder, etc. etc.
Might as well mention this: I recently read through GM's story Pony Fantasy V: Exodus of the Void to try to get ideas for characters to summon, and I got a few potential allies. Be warned, Twilence, that that universe is RADICALLY different from canon, and has some very confusing things. The elements of Harmony still exist, but they are just alternate names for the Elemental Crystals that control various aspects of reality. However, all your friends have different pasts. Rarity and Sweetie Belle are the daughters of Queen Luna, but Sweetie turned blue and became pirate captain Rainbow Dash, who found Spike the water dragon. Applejack guards a forest(?) with her loyal giant bird steed Winona. Pinkie is an alien pony, and was the mother of Fluttershy, who is also an alien pony. Twilight is, uh... a scientist in Queen Celestia's city, and Lyra's mother. All of you were the the bearers of the Elemental Crystals, who were destroyed by some evil lord asshole Exdeath, and passed their powers to what would have been your friends in a normal universe. Pinkie bore the Wind Crystal, which allowed her to weaponize dancing. She also held all of the summonable spirits until she killed herself fighting Exdeath. Rarity bore the Water Crystal, which allowed her to heal, cure, buff, and revive her allies, debuff enemies, and "kill" undead. Rainbow Dash bore the Fire Crystal, which allowed her to set fire to things with her wings. Applejack bore the Earth Crystal, which, uh... gave her super-strength? Fluttershy bore the Life crystal, which was also the Tree of Harmony, which allowed her to... do stuff with life? It was at that point that Pinkie overexerted her reality-warping powers fighting Exdeath, causing her to fade out of existence and pass on the summons to Fluttershy. Twilight bore the Void Crystal, allowing her to turn her body into a sword and do cool magical stuff. Honestly, I'm confusing myself just trying to remember and simplify what i'm describing to you, so i'm just going to end the descriptions there.
Anyway, potential characters to summon! I was originally thinking of summoning Spike, reasoning he could help transport you, but he is A: a water dragon, and only really works well in water and B: he was gravely wounded by a Kraken, killed by saving his friends from a falling penensula, and later revived as a summonable spirit bound to Fluttershy that helped the heros fight evil. I then thought of getting Pinkie, but she sort of faded into nothing, reappeared for a final showdown with Exdeath spanning through the multiverse, and then faded away once that was over. If you want someone to summon, Rarity might be your best bet, because she can heal any wounds or infectious things you come across, give you magical shields, reflectors, and double your speed, halve enemies' speed, revive allies that may have died, or rewind time to bring them back into existence if they were deleted from existence. ...except for Pinkie, for some reason. Rarity's healing powers also serve as potent destruction magic for undead. All that being said, I also think the Starshell is a good potential summon, but I don't know if it's possible.
8414838
-—- You had to ruin all my ideas.
8415140
I'm sorry, alright? But I have this desire to carefully search through suggestions people may make and tell them just how truly and completely fucked up the results of those suggestions might be, or else correct any errors in information. Nothing personal.
8415157
OK. Potatoes will be the victor!
8415260
Your face is a potato.
8415408
Your face is a carrot. Obviously inferior in every way. Potatoez are big fry!

Ba-dun-tss.
Very well. But don't you even ATTEMPT 'tuber-n' my wonderful kingdom from its 'roots.'
8415633
smore... smore... smore... IM AWAKE! YOR TREES ROTS WIL DIII!
8415648
What? Orange you glad I'm trying 'to-mako' some original 'pun-kins?'
8415663
Puns are fun. I'm fine with them. So... Resume slightly odd night/evening/whatever whacky time the time zone plops you in comparison to me?
8415678
Sounds like fun. I hope you found my terrible pun-making lemon-stration semi-enjoyable, and wish you a beet-iful day/night/relative time.
8415688
Yep!
8416332
8415688
oh my god... why are you two going on about this here when we have somewhere we can talk to each-other with out twi hearing us?
8416416
Well, this story does have a drama tag for a reason...
8416434
that is no excuse! you should know better from that time twi yelled at you and Afizha when you went on a religiousness tangent a while back
8416446
But... but... but the drama tag is the perfect excuse to be dramatic! Sure, we put it there in the first place, but now that it is there, it's our duty to fulfil it! Oh, what a fun self-perpetuating cycle of internet stupidity!
8416453
hey if you WANT to be yelled at again...
8416416
No clue. Sorry, Twilence!
[COMPILING TIME...]
