An engineer transplanted from Earth tries to take his work with him to Equestria, but it's a mare's world here, and he's not taken seriously. Teaming up with a purple alicorn gives him a shot at making his dreams a reality.
...you turn for the shelf that contains the work of history you’d been reading the past few days while Celestia took the time to organize her thoughts.
You grab the heavy paperweight that had earlier fallen off your desk and move over to your nightstand. After lifting the polished stone comically high over your head, you bring it down as hard as possible on your alarm clock. The thing caves in as if it were hollow. “Always wanted to do that. Princess, as a formal declaration of our friendship, I destroy my killer of dreams.”
Note to self; Next lucid dream, fire RPG at alarm clock.
The darkness turns itself inside out, now blinding white. A loud ringing sounds in your ears. For the briefest moment, you feel like you’ve been kicked in the head. Turns out you weren’t curled into a ball, you were standing. You twitch violently as your brain does a proprioceptive double-take.

Wow, I don't usually stop to simply praise one chapter, but this one deserves it. So much characterization, layers of nuance in their conversations, world building. Very nice. NGL, there were a few tears shed and that too I have to applaud, no harsh tear jerkers, just a few gentle moments. Very nice.
It took Celestia days to organize her thoughts?

Be fair, she's got a huge brain. It's probably got more thoughts in it at any one time than Twilight's...

I have always favored a luger or a colt 1911 ( how appropriate in this forum) too much collateral damage with an RPG.
I had to look up proprioceptive.
The dialogue in this chapter is really nice to read, can't really describe how but it does

Yay!
This is excellent.
"The Game", and you just lost it.
This. This was nice. I quite like it.
