From HRH Celypso, RE: Letter 57

Author's Note:

Letter 57: Here.

To my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,

Twilight, I once again am pleased you are well, and have recovered from potentially life-threatening injury promptly and without side effect.

In the future, kindly remember that the Everfree Forest is considered one of the most dangerous areas within Equestrian borders, and among those areas that permit traditional life is ranked as one of the top ten most dangerous. I applaud you for answering a call for help or fear, and truthfully I am proud of you for doing so. I'm not certain you could have done much differently, save for suggesting you research the forest and common predators within a bit more carefully, for future reference. I would also suggest that you do not enter the Everfree alone. Ever.

Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia

PS. Yes, if you were wondering there have been efforts to remove the forest after it proved difficult to make safe, but it takes exception to that. Perhaps we should put up a fence?

You're not the first person to write about the forest like that, and it never fails to get a laugh from me.
"Oh, don't go into the forest."
"Why, is it dangerous?"
"Worse. Peeved."

We're gonna build a wall! And Gaia Everfree is gonna pay for it!

even worse: it has a sense of humor that makes discord look sane.

Good luck with that.

[FanOfMostEverything]

"Areas that permit traditional life" is certainly an intriguing phrase. Are the alternatives just conventionally hostile, like the Dragonlands, or regions of eldritch forces and alien physics that no pony dares enter?

This is Equestria, after all. It could well be both.

And then there was that time Celestia tried to destroy Hollow Shades... and it dodged.

Primarily she's referring to places just inimical to pony life on principal. Active volcanoes, hippocampus cities without a friendly sea pony to help. To a lesser extent, places like the badlands or other deserts. I imagine there's also places of the 'eldritch energy that actively reject pretty pony peculiarities' as well.

We need to build a fence, and we’re going to make the diamond dogs pay for it.

-celestia, probably

Probably a good idea, if playing this game after midnight is any indication.

Hmmm, see there's a method of pseduo-nuking something that involves using a couple explosions. One of them surrounds the other and presses inwards and the other presses outwards. This compresses the air not exploded between them and...you get the idea.

Threatening to cut off its supply of idiot food would do the trick. Or threaten to shoot it if it doesn't pony up () would work, too. But then we'd get all kinds of whiny sissy snowflakes complaining about how "mean" that is.
