MLP Loops 132
132.1 (ScyBlade)
"Lady Twilight!"
The unicorn (usually) in question turned around. Hmm, so another DMC fused loop, with Dante being one of the Sons of Scorpan…
"Good Morning, Prince Vergil." Wait, what? Scorpan usually isn't royalty when this happens...
"Good Morning to you, Lady Twilight. I Awoke last night feeling a bit Loopy. I felt that helping you with the task Celestia gave you would Anchor me."
Twilight blinked at that. "We'll talk more after taking care of a few things."
Later, at THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE (Golden Oaks Library, after dealing with a baseline checklist and party)
"I had heard that Dante was hoping you start looping. Nice to know you did. I'm still waiting on my parents... Oops." Twilight blushed as she winced.
"A non-issue. We had dealt with it in our own ways. Besides, Sparda isn't dead, merely banished. One day we might get him back. So about Nightmare Moon?"
Twilight took a moment to think about this. "Well, eating her magic is a bad idea. The curse is poisonous even to Tirek, at least during DMC fused loops. He just makes sure to have absorbed enough magic that it just gives him indigestion at worst. Even if she was awake, draining Nyx wouldn't help. For some reason, only Nightmare Moon's magic is poisonous. And she always warns Dante and Nero when either fight her. Nero's Devil Bringer shreds the curse like a hot knife through butter though."
Vergil grinned. "I have an idea of why. And I have a work around." Vergil parsed his memories. They confirmed what she said, Scorpan's kind could drain magic from other magical creatures to grow in power. Including his brother Tirek. But the power could also be beaten out of them. Literally.
"I'm still going to gather the Elements of Harmony, just in case."
Vergil could only nod at that. With the clown, he didn't have any backup plan, and look at how that turned out. And there had been no plan at all for Mundus. The less said about the results, the better.
"Hmm."
"Yes, Lady Twilight?"
"I think I figured out why you're royalty this loop. You're replacing Prince Blueblood."
Vergil responded by pulling out the book Dante had given him and looking up information on this 'Blue Blood'. He would be going by his memories for this Loop, but knowledge about who you're replacing would be a good thing to have.
"You are Nightmare Moon, the cursed form of Princess Luna, Princess Celestia's Beloved Little Sister."
"Hmmph, so only one of Scorpan's progeny remembered me. And there's no way Celestia loved me. Or cared at all."
Vergil only stared into her eyes. He saw that she was lying. Or was trying to convince her host of what she said.
"No matter. The Night, SHALL LAST... FOREVER! And there's nothing you can do. Scorpan was deeply poisoned when he tried to drain my magic. You'll do no better."
"We'll see." For a moment, Vergil eyes glowed darkly, and a symbol appeared on his back. One Shadow Trick(1) later, and he was within arm's reach of Nightmare Moon.
"What!? Let go immediately. Are you not concerned for your own health?"
So that's why he wasn't concerned. He has Dream Eater Powers. "Okay, Girls. Get them ready. If she gets free, Harmonize and blast her."
"Well, not our best record, but no property damage at all. Always a plus. Wish I had thought about Dream Eaters before."
"Normal Dream Eaters probably aren't a good idea. That curse might affect them as well."
"Now then, how about we discuss the other Villains around here. We know Discord can be drained, though how strong you have to be before you can do so is untested. Dante just out-hams him into submission."
A/N: 1) A Darkness powered upgrade to Dark Slayer Style's Air Trick. Better range, and longer invincibility frames.
132.2 (Dalxein)
"Elsa!" The small voice called. "Elsa!!"
She grumbled in her sleep, curled deeper into her bedsheets, and out of habit replied, "Go away, Anna."
"Do you wanna have a party?"
Elsa turned over and cracked open one bright blue eye. "Oh. Hi Pinkie."
The pretty pink princess grinned. "So do ya?"
The older sister rolled back over in bed. "Maybe later."
A small sniffle from behind her. "It doesn't have to be a party..."
"By all means have your party, I'll even attend. Just as long as it happens in a few hours. Now let me sleep!"
"YAY!" And so the little princess bounced her way to the door and into the hall. A moment later her head popped back in. "And then we can build a snowmare!"
132.3 (Gym Quirk)
Sunset Shimmer had a problem when it came to baseline loops.
She didn't much like playing the bad guy.
Actually, she hated and feared playing the bad guy. One time as a raging she-demon hypnotizing an army of teenage zombies (to coin a phrase) was more than enough.
Unfortunately, if she wanted to maintain a baseline run (for the sake of an experiment or prank), it meant making things unpleasant for her unawake CHS friends until Twilight could arrive to "fix" the situation -- a certain level of adversity was necessary if the proper bonds of friendship were to form. She found it very uncomfortable, but she could manage if she didn't have to do it too often.
The advent of the Canterlot High Musical Showcase made the demand for near-baseline loops (to play with the Dazzlings) much greater. It also added a requirement for a fairly large release of equestrian magic and a moderately eye-catching light show to draw the attention of their targets.
And so began "Project False Cacophony" to provide a means by which Sunset could simulate the events necessary to properly summon the equestrian exiles without inducing unpleasant flashbacks or guilt trips.
"Trixie?"
"Yes, Sunset?"
"Here's my report on your Mk. I Magic Dispersal Device. The summary is essentially: A keg of liquid rainbow with a half-stick of dynamite did more property damage than I did in the baseline. Also, most of the residual magic dissipated after the next rainstorm. On the plus side, the light show was quite spectacular."
"Trixie sees. Well, it was just a first attempt after all..."
"I appreciate the thought, Berry, but it's a high school dance. Aside from the faculty, nobody's old enough to drink alcohol."
"Maybe I should get with Zecora and see about something you could add to the punch?"
"I'm not sure if the magic equivalent of drugging my friends, or the rest of the school for that matter, is a direction I want to take this..."
"Twilight, I really don't know if I can continue to use Snips and Snails as my minions. Would you mind if I tried different people? Maybe co-opt Trixie's crew?"
"You'll probably have to ask her, just to be safe. There's also Photo Finish and her posse."
"I'm not sure. They have some ties to Rarity..."
"Trixie. Two kegs of liquid rainbow bound with five meters of det-cord is not an improvement over last time!"
"Trixie is sorry. That was a leftover from an old loop when Trixie was working with Rainbow Dash on pyrotechnics displays."
"Glad I caught you, Zecora. I'm afraid that the poison-joke based magic was just too unpredictable for my needs. But please keep the recipe and the blueprints. I have a few ideas about using it during the Battle of the Bands..."
"I can see that you've been consulting with Trixie, Apple Bloom, but a holographic light show, no matter how striking, is only a small part..."
"Sweetie Belle's workin' with Rarity on the magic side of this, Sunset. I just wanted to see if ya liked the display."
"Oh. Sorry. Looks great."
Twilight and Sunset looked at the small collection of gadgets, devices, and charms, then at the ponies who had worked on them.
"Okay. Collectively, these should do the job, but it's just a bit awkward to have them separated out like this," said the princess. "Sweetie, Vinyl, using music as a magic dispersal medium appeals to my sense of irony, and it probably won't be that difficult to put one of these discs on the playlist at the Fall Formal. I still don't understand how you got it to work with mundane playback equipment, but I can't dispute the test results."
"The demonic transformation illusion is a little too realistic for my comfort," admitted Sunset, "and I'm really uneasy with the mild psionic 'push' parts of it, but I guess it will have to do until I can think of a substitute that still gets the girls to bond properly. Still, at least I won't have to do much property damage, so good work, Apple Bloom and Diamond."
"Now, as far as the light show goes, we have no complaints beyond the need to anchor the spells to the portal. So thank you, Luna and Trixie," concluded Twilight. "Thank you, everypony for all your hard work."
She shared a look with Sunset. "Any ideas about what to do for the first trial run?"
The orange unicorn looked crestfallen. "I've been spending so many loops trying to get this to work...I don't have any idea how I want to use it."
"What do you think of applying Countess Cordelia's Dictum?"
" 'Let's see what happens'? Well, it does have the advantage of spontaneity..."
132.4 (fractalman)
Addendum to the Faux-Culture Dalek incident (130.8)
Most of the loopers left the throne room to do their own thing (Rarity went off to test a dress made out of explosions), but Twilight stayed behind.
"Third...It's hegemonizing, not homogenizing."
The Dalek stopped shooting. "WHILE YOU ARE CORRECT THAT I AM NOT WITH THE CULTURE, LET ME BE CLEAR: WHAT I DETECTED WAS IN FACT A HOMOGENIZING SWARM, NOT A HEGEMONIZING SWARM. EXTERMINATE!"
Twilight blinked. "O...K then."
132.5 (fractalman)
Originally, Twilight had planned to play things baseline until Sombra showed up. However, looking at the holders for the elements, she was starting to reconsider.
Six clusters of fake trees, with six fake trees in each cluster, with six limbs on each tree, with 6 branches on each limb, and 6 elements on each branch.
7776 elements. Assuming one hidden element, that would be 7777 elements in all.
"Buck this. I'm going to beat Nightmare Moon with a pie at sufficient velocity."
"Thank you, Twilight, for rescuing my sister from the Nightmare forces."
"Your welcome Celestia. By the way, I believe I know how to get the Elements to work again, but I'll need you to get a bunch of ponies to line up...say, ten-thousand or so. "
Celestia nodded infinitesimally. "I'll see to it. "
Twilight smashed the elements. All 7776 of them.
"Alright everypony! Walk through the shards! Don't be alarmed if you walk out with a necklace."
Discord was turning ever so slowly back into stone.
Twilight rambled on. "Honestly loyal loyally generous honesty, honestly loyal loyally generous generosity, honestly loyal loyally generous kindness..."
Discord groaned. "This is more boring than being a statue. Would you please hurry it up?"
"Honestly loyal loyally generous Magic, Honestly loyal loyally kind honesty..."
Twilight chucked first one necklace into space, and then another, then another...
"Twilight Sparkle!"boomed Celestia. "What in Equestria are you doing with the Elements!?"
"Working on my juggling! Oh don't look at me like that, I can't think of anything else to do with them!"
Celestia's jaw opened and closed for almost half a minute.
132.6 (Evilhumour and Wheeness)
Sunset Shimmer whistled as she walked through the hallways of Canterlot High. This seemed like a pretty baseline loop, and she had played it as such. Minus the whole, steal the Element of Magic thing. She hadn't returned to Equestria this loop, mainly to relax. That's when she heard him.
"OY'! NO RUNNIN' IN THE HALLS!" a loud voice bellowed with a thick Scottish accent.
Sunset jumped at turned to see a tall, balding, muscular man with a red mustache and ponytail, bushy eyebrows, and a prosthetic left leg. He was wearing a suit that he looked really uncomfortable in, evidenced by his constant grumbling and loosening of the collar. She raised an eyebrow. Sunset had sent out a Ping when she Woke up, and had gotten no reply. Maybe this guy was new? She decided to introduce herself.
"Um hello." She blinked at hulking man who was eying her before turning his head to yell at an unawake Vinyl that was headbanging her way through the hallway.
"OY! I SAID NO RUNNIN' IN THE HALLS LASS AND I'VE TOLD YE TO TAKE OFF THOSE DAMNABLE HEADPHONES!" His shout was loud enough to get through to the DJ, causing her to jump in spot. With surprising speed, he grabbed from her head and stuffed them into his pouch. "YE BE GETTING BACK AFTERWARDS, LITTLE LADY!" He continued to shout, before breaking out into what seemed like a smile. "Now get along Vinyl, before I mark ye absent and give ye detention! Jack's running it this time and you know how he likes to make you lasses and laddies sweat!" He frowned as he watched her run off, rubbing his head before looking at the sole remaining student in the hallway.
With a start, Sunset's Loop memories came in. She recognized who this Jack was, and this must mean... "Look, I know this will sound weird sir, but has time for you been repeating and only now you find yourself in a different world?"
With his frown growing, he leaned down and looked at her right in the eyes.
"And what do ye have to say about all this, miss Shimmers?"
"Trust me, it will take a while but I am telling the truth, we can check with Jack if you want."
"I cann't do that lassie, I've got classes right now and you're LATE!" He shouted, causing her hair to fly backwards. He then laughed a horrid laugh, shaking his head. "Afterwards, we'll get this sorted out. Now get a move on!"
(DrTempo)
From the Journal of Sunset Shimmer:
It seems like a while since I've written in this journal. I suppose it was due to the fact that my last Loop had me in the Street Fighter Loop.
It started with me in high school, where I met the Anchor, Sakura Kasugano(no connection to THAT Sakura). I decided to challenge her to a fistfight, and got my flank handed to me. I guess I've gotten rusty in hand to hand combat. Sakura suggested I travel the world and learn from the best fighters to harness my skills.
Not a bad idea. I did need a refresher, and some new tricks'd wouldn't hurt either.
Many of the well-known fighters were Awake for this Loop. I largely spent my time learning new fighting styles from these legends, fighting Shadaloo, and hearing stories of these heroes' time as Loopers as I walked the earth.
As I traveled the world during this Loop, I had the opportunity to see interesting things. The moves I had learned from other martial arts legends among the Loopers proved of good use when added to what I learned here. Being able to do moves like the Shoryuken is awesome.
Still couldn't win any major tournaments though; had to hold back a lot so no one got killed. Hard to believe I have that kind of power now, and yet I still fear the temptation of becoming an Alicorn.
Experience is a powerful thing, indeed. You can be as strong as possible, yet still lose to someone more experienced. I learned that lesson many times here.
I have learned a lot of new moves here, and made some new friends. The teachers I had helped me learn much about fighting, but they all have admitted they are wimps compared to other, more experienced Loopers. That, in of itself, is saying something, and only adds to my thoughts on how experience can best stronger opponents.
Maybe, when I get back home, I can teach some of the life lessons I have learned to others in the world beyond the mirror. My wanderings have shown me much.
It'll be nice to show what I've learned..abilities and life lessons both.
Better than being a jerk like I once was...
132.7 (Evilhumour)
Twilight sighed.
Another loop, another time Tirek destroyed her house.
At least she would get her crystal house as soon as the bo-
"MWAHHAHA, NOW THAT I HAVE CONTROL OF THIS MYSTICAL BOX OF CONTAINMENT, I THE BOX PONY, WILL NOW CONTROL YOU ALL!" A pale earth pony shouted, somehow flying above the crowd of stunned ponies.
"The Tree?" Twilight asked with disbelief. Never had she lost two houses this quick!
"Oh sorry Twilight!" A black blur shouted, somehow defying gravity too as went to tackle the thief. "I'll take care of this joker in a moment, I swear!"
"Oh no." The pale pony with a cardboard box cutie mark whimpered, holding the box that contained her crystal treehouse close to his chest. "I AM THE BOX PONY, BEWARE!" He shouted before vanishing mid air with the young sounding blur.
Twilight blinked in disbelief, as her mind was just replaying the fact she had been rendered homeless twice in the last five seconds.
"What the barking tree sap just happened here?!"
132.8 (elmagnifico)
“Ha! We're back, fillies and colts, to the Equestria Games. I'm Flim, he's Flam, and we're the World Famous Flim-Flam Brothers, Aviation Entrepreneurs and Sports Commentators Nonpareil.”
“Right you are my clean-shaven sibling. For those of you who are just joining us, we're done covering the airborn speed trials, shifting over to the back end of an intriguing new event, made possible by the rash of strange and empowering goings-on in recent times: The Alicorn Toss.”
“Indeed, dear brother of mine, it's been an interesting time. For instance, judging today we have simulacra of three of Equestria's founders.”
“Honored sages indeed. And probably the only ponies that could possibly give impartial judging to this event.”
“The rules are simple: No magic, no flight, just sheer muscle and aerodynamic posing. The competition takes place in three distinct rounds, Raw Distance, Airborn Targets, and Freestyle.”
“Raw distance and airborn targets sound self-explanatory, brother of mine, but what on Celestia's green land is Freestyle Alicorn Toss?”
“That's where the teams show off their artistic creativity with music, synchronized with the windup. Think figure skating with one big jump at the end.”
“I see. Interesting fact, according to my sheet here the Griffon Lands has put forward a team for this event.”
“By your moustache, how did they do that? Their kind can't even become alicorns.”
“After some of the things we've seen on the news lately, don't count it out, brother of mine. No, the griffons apparently found an alicorn willing to be flung by their star athlete, Gilda.”
“And who's the lucky pony there?”
“Not a pony, actually, a zebra named Zecora, who until recently was living in the Everfree Forest, and apparently has a horn and wings now.”
“How does that even work, Flam?”
“I don't know Flim, but it apparently does work, and quite well, as the judges gave them a solid 12 last round in the Freestyle, putting them in fourth place, ahead of the Everfree Forest's mother-son team of Fluttershy thrown by Lemon Rush, and just one point behind the representatives from Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.”
“Well, we're here for the final round today, so this round of Raw Distance is what will decide who will go home the first Equestrian Champion Alicorn Toss Team. Up next, we have what is perhaps the most experienced duo for this unique sport on the field. For the Crystal Empire, it's Prince-Consort Shining Armor and Princess Cadence.”
“Listen to the roar of that crowd, dear brother. After their stellar performance last year in the defeat of King Sombra, these two are the favorite to take home the gold, and it doesn't hurt that they're the home team.”
“Right you are, brother. Here we see the classic windup. Look at that form. Our experts tell me this is Tossing at its finest.”
”Aaand there's the release!”
”Uh-oh, trouble.”
”Trouble indeed, brother. It appears a bad patch of gravel in the windup path has thrown off the Prince-Consort's aim. Her Majesty is adjusting her wings to compensate, but there's only so much repositioning the thrown alicorn is allowed to do before they get docked points.”
“Sad to say that them's the breaks, Flam. It looks like this will be a record short throw for the home team.”
”Here come the field judges."
“While we wait for them to finish measuring, I'd just like to point out that notably absent today is the team representing Appleoosa.”
“Indeed, brother of mine. According to this report, after some deliberation, the judges ruled that Macintosh's use of clearly artificially-induced super strength to throw his sister Applejack was grounds for disqualification, despite testimony that, and I quote, 'It ain't magic.'”
"And it's just shy of the sixty seven mark, putting them in eighth place, just behind our own princesses Celestia and Luna out of Canterlot.”
”Well, at least they came in ahead of the Republic of Libraria, represented by Nyx and Twilight Sparkle. Losing to your younger sister is never fun.”
“Yeah, you'd know about that, wouldn't you.”
“Shut it, dear brother.”
“Getting back to the topic at hoof, with the final throw in the books it looks like the medalists for the first ever Alicorn Toss will be Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo for Cloudsdale with bronze, Spike and Rarity Belle of Ponyville taking silver, and representing the Southern Badlands, Discord and Berry Punch as the world-champions and gold medalists.”
"They really will give a horn and wings to just about anypony these days, won't they."
"Pre-tty much."
“Well friends, it's happened again, you've wasted a perfectly good hour listening to sports talk. Once again I'm Flim, he's Flam, we're the world famous Flim Flam Brothers, Shameless Advertisers of our Aeronautics Firm, and Sports Commentators Nonpareil. Before we go, a quick shout-out to the staff. Our chauffeur from the Griffon Lands is Picov Andropov, and our public relations coordinator is Heywood Yabuzzoff.”
“Our optometric specialists are provided by C. F. Eye Care, our canid producer is Dug the subway fugitive, not a slave to fashion, bongo boy Berhound, and our chief counsel from the sheep-run law firm of Dewey, Cheetham, & Howe is Ewe Louis Dewey, known to pigeons that recently lost one of their favorite locations to commune with nature in the Canterlot Gardens to the gold medal Alicorn Toss as Ewey Louie Dewey. Oh, and one last thing: If you happen to buy one of our master-crafted aircraft, don't fly like my brother.”
“And don't fly like my brother! See you tomorrow, sportsfans!”
132.9 (Gym Quirk)
"I'm starting to think she's not coming," lamented Rainbow Dash as she sat propped up against the base of the Canterlot Wondercolt statue.
And just as in countless other iterations, the portal chose that moment to disgorge Spike and Twilight Sparkle to sprawl nearby.
Sunset Shimmer took the moment the six were engaged in their group hug to examine the slip of paper the princess had passed her when she was helped to her feet.
Element trial is a go.
The fiery-haired former pony wasn't sure if she was more excited or worried about the prospect.
While she waited for their first opportunity to confront the Dazzlings at the pre-battle get-together, Sunset Shimmer thought back to the earlier loop when the idea had been brought up.
"You've got a bunch of spare Element sets in your pocket, right?" she had asked the Anchor. "Other than my disastrous attempt in the baseline, have you tried using them at Canterlot High?"
"Not really. Before you started looping, I'd planned on trying the full set against you." Twilight gave an apologetic smile at Sunset's wince. "But the loop was twisted into a strange ‘Independence Day’ fusion before the Fall Formal, so we all had other things to worry about."
"Huh. Were you waiting for everypony to be Awake for that, or did you plan on seeing what happened if you gave the Elements to the baseline counterparts?"
"The second. It would reduce the variables created by out-of-loop abilities sneaking in. I'd also spent a few loops training myself to stick to baseline power levels by way of preparation. It's harder than it sounds."
"I can imagine."
"So yeah. Thanks for reminding me about the experiment. I take it you have the Dazzlings in mind as test subjects?"
"All in the furtherance of magical research, of course." Sunset essayed a mad scientist leer.
"Of course." Twilight's return grin was more unsettling; she'd had much more practice.
There was a thoughtful companionable silence.
"Are you sure you don't want to participate more directly, Sunset?" asked Twilight. "I'm sure you could handle Loyalty or Honesty if you wanted."
"I still have occasional nightmares about what happened in the baseline. I'm okay with playing with the Rainbooms; music magic is one or two steps removed from invoking the actual elements. But I still don't know if I'm ready for the real thing yet."
"Okay. I understand. Even though I think you're ready, it's entirely your choice. I won't push."
"Thanks, Twilight. If you want to try this again, maybe I'll join in, but not the first time. I'll be satisfied to just watch the light show."
Twilight remained huddled with her friends at the snack table and distributed five bejeweled golden necklaces from her subspace pocket (via her bookbag). Sunset stood slightly apart to keep an eye out for their adversaries.
"Yes, Rarity, they're quite garish, but this is the form they take right now," she preempted the fashionista. "In theory, it's possible to remount the jewels in different settings, but we don't have the time..."
"Mine is fine the way it is..." offered Fluttershy.
"Hey! I think mine's cool!" put in Rainbow Dash.
"They're not as heavy as they look," observed Applejack.
"Magic," suggested Pinkie Pie.
A familiar five-note motif whistled by Sunset Shimmer brought their attention to the gymnasium doors.
Time to see how this works, thought Twilight.
Adagio Dazzle could feel the magical potential in the gym as she and her compatriots strode in. The place fairly crackled with familiar energy.
She made an offhand remark about the tension in the room, which set Sonata and Aria off on an idiotic tangent about fruit punch. By Discord's beard, even those two should be able to sense the magic here, she fumed to herself. She scanned her surroundings and felt her attention drawn to the seven girls standing near the snack table. There. There's a concentrated source of Equestrian Magic.
She wondered in passing how she could have missed it earlier.
Maybe it was the new lavender-hued member of the group. She hadn't been with the other six when they'd started their campaign in the cafeteria.
The siren's gaze was attracted by the glint of gold and jewels in their hands. Her eyes widened. No way. Those can't be...
There had been garbled accounts of what had happened when Sunset Shimmer got ahold of a single Element of Harmony. Unless she was very mistaken there were now five...No six. A golden tiara topped with a star-shaped gem had been produced.
She hummed quietly to herself, sending an exploratory tendril of magic to see if she could somehow tap into that power.
No. She couldn't make a direct connection; the magic of equestrian harmony was not compatible with the siren's conflict-based enchantments.
But the overall ambient magical levels were increasing as a result of their presence. That, she could draw upon. She spread the increased flow to her companions, who suddenly stopped their bickering to join her in looking at the Rainbooms.
While Sunset Shimmer had moved a short distance away from the group, the remaining six had donned their jeweled accessories and undergone visible transformations. All had grown equine ears and longer hair that simulated equestrian tails. Three, including the new one now wearing the tiara, had pegasus-like wings.
The new girl looked at the sirens with an almost pitying look. Despite her apparent youth, she spoke with the authority and confidence of an alicorn princess of old. "You sought to create dissension and strife among the students of this school so you could use it to feed your desire for power. I'm afraid that we cannot allow you to continue." The six joined hands and created a rainbow wavefront that raced across the gymnasium, disrupting the hyper-competitiveness spell.
A low murmur spread around the no-longer enchanted students and faculty as some sense of what had happened started to dawn.
No, thought Adagio with a mental snarl. We will not be thwarted so easily. She collected the sudden spike of hostility from the crowd along with all the ambient magic she could and focused it into a powerful note. Aria and Sonata followed suit, weaving their voices into an enthralling harmony.
Spike watched the magical contest with very mild concern.
He wasn't worried about the ultimate outcome. If worst came to worst, either he, Twilight, or Sunset could brute-force their way to a victory without breaking stride.
But this was supposed to be a test of the Elements of Harmony in this world.
When he saw the Dazzlings start to manifest their own quasi-equine features, he decided to go with the no-magic contingency plan. I hope Sunset won't be upset that I borrowed her shtick...
When an operatically-trained dog howls at just the right frequency with a specific set of harmonics, not even a siren's song is immune to the effect.
He had just enough time to see the Dazzlings wince and shake their heads painfully before Twilight and her friends, now gently levitating, unleashed their own brand of harmony.
And the world went polychromatic.
"Well, that was perhaps just a bit excessive..." murmured Rarity as the tremendous wash of magic subsided.
"Ow...my head..." groaned Rainbow Dash, looking around. She stopped and stared at Applejack. "Um...AJ? You've got wings now."
"I what?" asked the groggy Applejack.
"So do you, Rarity! And a cute little horn too!" burbled Pinkie.
Twilight got woozily to her knees and looked at her friends. In addition to the expected equine ears, each now had a pair of wings and a short two-inch spiral-patterned nub of a horn in the middle of their foreheads. She reached up a tentative hand to find that she too appeared to be a human-alicorn hybrid. A nervous glance behind her resulted in a faint sigh of relief. No actual tail; just the extended-length ponytail, complete with Rainbow Power streaks.
That element set was collected after my friends had Ascended. Did they somehow "remember" this, or is this just the result of being at ground zero of a major magic overload...? She could vaguely recall the rainbow double-helix reaching the gym's ceiling and rebounding, creating a splash effect when it returned to the floor.
"Um, Twilight?" said a dazed-sounding Sunset. "It's not just you guys." She had picked up the ears and extra hair of her baseline ponified self along with a horn.
"Looks like the entire school got hit," rumbled a baritone voice. Twilight turned to see a seven-foot long purple and green dragon.
Spike gestured around the gym. Every student and teacher appeared to be sporting equine ears and a bit more hair than before. There was also a scattering of wings. The number of hands reaching to explore foreheads suggested some horns as well. On the far side of the room, Luna and Celestia stared confusedly at the former's horn and the latter's wings.
Apple Bloom reached up to feel her new ears as she stumbled to sit next to her dumbfounded sister.
Scootaloo was experimentally flapping the small pair of wings she had received.
Sweetie Belle was trying to peer cross-eyed at the tip of her small horn.
I wonder how permanent this is. If I put away the Elements, does everyone revert to normal?
Looking at the section of floor where the sirens had been, Twilight cringed at the splintered hardwood and shallow crater in the concrete underneath. Three figures, apparently adjusted to default human-pony hybrid form, lay curled in fetal positions. The jewels in their pendants had not shattered, but disintegrated, if the red-hued dust beneath them was any indication. She could just hear the semi-conscious Sonata mumble, "Shoo-be-doo..."
Unexpected, yet appropriate, decided Twilight. I suppose Lyra'd find this interesting.
"Twilight?" asked Applejack uncertainly. "I was just thinkin'...What happens to us if we try to play music now?"
Twilight suppressed a manic grin. So many unanswered questions! So many experiments to conduct!
132.6 continued (Evilhumour and Wheenesss)
Twilight looked at Sunset with disbelief, who had a smug look on her face. In all of their attempts to deal with the Dazzlings, they have never tried this before or dealt with the sirens this easily.
"What. The. Sap?" She asked, turning her head to the stage where the sirens were whimpering on the stage, holding their ears in pain. Their amulets had shattered early on and the music had already broken the spell of the girls, but still the man on the staged still played.
"That's good playin', little lassie!" The man on the staged shout at her, taking his mouth away from the mouth piece, eliciting a sigh of relief from everyone in the room. "O righty now! You three!" He stomped his way to the defeated sirens, his peg leg echoing loudly on the stage. "DETENTION!" He bellowed, causing their hair to fly backwards. "The rest of ye get to ye classes before I give ye all detention and you're going to dealing with me and that not pansy Jack's 'exercises' detentions!" He scoffed, causing the entire student body to flee as Jack's detention involved at least fifty or so laps to start with and since their music teacher was known to have a rivalry attitude with the gym teacher, it often led the two to try and one up each other in punishments.
"NOT YE MISS SPAHKRULS!" He shout, caused the Anchor to meep loudly as the man roared out, the Rainbooms hesitating in the spot, her unAwake friends torn between fleeing for safety and staying with her. "Are any of ye lasses Awake like Miss Spahkruls and Miss Shimmy?!"
"W-hat do you m-mean with-- " Rainbow tried to speak to the Scottish teacher who was holding his bagpipes under his arm now.
"THEN GET TO CLASS MISS DISHY, OR I'LL GIVE YA ALL DETENTION FOR A MONTH!" His shout caused them to whimper and lean against each other for support.
"It's ok girls, I'll be fine." Twilight did her best to reassure her friends, looking at the man with a bit of a gulp. "I think..."
With a solemn nod, the girls left, leaving Twilight alone with Sunset and the Scotsman.
"So, you're Looping now?" She asked in disbelief, looking up the frowning man.
"Ai." His frown started to break as he smiled. Despite his ugly features, his smile was really nice and soft. "It's good to know that I'll be able to help me buddy Jack a bit more with Aku."
"But," Twilight frowned, looking at her friend with a raised eyebrow. "Didn't Sunset tell you that-"
"The great beastie is Looping? Ai she did, and so did Jackie boy." He frowned again. "But that's not the point. What is that you Spahkruls is that you are a very bad girl!"
"Wha?"
"Do you know how many classes you skipped and how much homework you missed?!" He started to shout again, but was cut off when Twilight fainted. Somewhere in the vocational agriculture building, a goat bleated. He looked at the former pony and asked. "Too much?"
132.10 (fractalman)
Trixie peered through a thaumic microscope at a sample of changeling goo.
"Resume log: changeling goop this loop is constructed from a magical matrix holding relatively small particles together. Pause log "
"Resume log: This loop, Changelings are unable to consume lust, but are able to consume general happiness to supplement their primary diet of romantic love. Additionally, hatred is incredibly toxic to changelings, so they must take great care as to when and where they feed. End log."
"New log: this loop, changelings are unable to shapeshift-"
"Well hello Trixie, still working on that catalog of changeling abilities, I see."
"-Pause log- yes, Chrysalis, I am. Computer, summarize logs so far."
"Out of 4,450 loops, 21 loops: changelings are unable to shape-shift. 51 loops: changelings lack goop production. 75 loops: changelings are unable to eat love-"
"Halt summary" interrupted Chrysalis. "Yes, lovely, but I'm feeling a bit peckish, so if you don't mind-"
Trixie grinned, and leaned in for a kiss.
132.11 (fractalman, Evilhumour)
Pandemonium reigned in the halls of the Admins.
Loki was laughing hard enough to shake every last console, including those used by Cthulhu and co.
Aphrodite shrieked as a squirrel ran up her leg.
Coyote chuckled as a squirrel frolicked on his head.
Admins tripped over squirrels, or other Admins who had been blinded by squirrels draped over their eyes.
Sleipnir merely sighed as he discovered a squirrel draped across his favorite keyboard.
"The great Apollo wants to know why he has a cup of squirrel!"
As for Zeus?
"WHERE DID ALL THESE SQUIRRELS COME FROM! AND WHY ARE THERE SQUIRRELS IN MY PORN STASH? WHY HAS MY PORN STASH BEEN RENAMED TO 'CORN STASH?' "
Cthulhu waved a tentacle to Nyarlathotep. "Hey Nyarly! Nice job with those squirrels!"
Nyarlathotep looked puzzled. "What squirrels?"
There was a pause.
"Um, you've got one in your hair."
Nyarlathotep glowered, and swatted the offending squirrel away before stomping off.
Ratatoskr and Meeko high-pawed.
Meeko giggled. "Sure showed them, eh?"
Ratatoskr cackled and nodded. "'Fetch this', they said. 'Bring me coffee', they said. Well lets see how those stuck-ups handle a squirrel infestation, eh?"
Meeko paused. "You don't think we went too far by making it affect every level of Yggdrasil, do you?"
Ratatoskr pondered for a second. "...Nah."
132.12 (invinible, Evilhumour, and Codelyoko22)
"Hey, Twilight?"
"Yes, Rarity?"
"Why are there squirrels just about every step you take?"
"I don't know, Rarity. I just don't know."
"Twilight, I have a better question. Why is Nightmare Moon a squirrel this time?"
"I said I don't know!"
"Twi-"
"RARITY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY I DON'T KNOW?!"
"...Actually I was going to ask where Spike has gone off to."
"Oh..."
"Oooo! I know!" Pinkie Pie bounced over, with squirrels falling out of her mane. "He left; said this loop was too nuts for him to handle."
Twilight sighed at the horrible pun.
"How long have you been waiting to use that one?"
"Since baseline, silly filly!" Pinkie Pie giggled and pulled out her own list. "Another rare joke check off! Three more and I get a super duper ultra mega party!" She then gave Twilight a big hug. "Thanks!"
132.13 (Gym Quirk)
There was something liberating about not having to remain constantly under cover, Jean-Luc Picard admitted to himself.
And he did appreciate the sanctuary status Equestrian loops afforded him, even if he was Replacing one of Ponyville's more prominent residents.
"Yes, Ms. Sparkle. I intend to spend as much of my time here as possible in mundane pursuits," he informed the local Anchor.
"Fortunately, we're reasonably well staffed to deal with the usual threats this loop, so you don't need to worry about being called in to help out. That said, do you feel up to running Carousel Boutique?" Twilight asked the unicorn supervising the decoration of Town Hall for the Summer Sun Celebration.
"Although I may not possess Madame Rarity's flamboyance, I have spent my share of loops in both the design and production sides of the clothing industry. I also have access to a reasonably vast library of designs from which to draw inspiration," Earl Grey assured the Preparation Overseer.
While he lacked the extravagant flair of the native fashionista, Earl Grey's aesthetic had a minimalist elegance that caught the attention of Hoity Toity; he even became one of Fancy Pants' preferred clothiers.
The distaff population had not been ignored either. Although his restrained designs failed to gain the patronage of Sapphire Shores, Photo Finish had waxed eloquent about several of the gowns he had created for the Grand Galloping Gala.
All in all, business at Carousel Boutique had seldom been better, and Earl Grey was clearly enjoying himself.
Still, the heightened demand for his creations did result in some production issues.
"So everything's centered around a modified Type 44 Fabric Replicator?" asked Apple Bloom as she started making tricorder scans.
"Yes, with some custom-written software to adapt things for equine body forms. The problem I'm facing is getting it to interface with my unicorn magic. For obvious reasons, my opportunities to investigate equestrian magic in depth have been rather limited."
Twilight frowned thoughtfully. "Okay...I think I can see what you're after here. So you need a little help with your production bottleneck?"
"Yes. Specifically, as regards this device, please make it sew."
There was a long, stunned silence followed by two groans. "How long have you been keepin' that line in storage?" asked Apple Bloom plaintively.
132.14 (KrisOverstreet)
"Corn cupcakes?" Twilight asked, looking at the half-eaten pastry before her. "You make cupcakes out of cornbread? Ponyville sure is a strange..."
She trailed off as she noticed every single eye in the room, except Pinkie's, fixed directly on her.
"... er, sure is strange that only Ponyville gets it right!" she finished nervously.
The tension passed, and Twilight's welcome party resumed as if nothing had happened... well, almost.
"Jus' a word of advice?" Applejack murmured in her ear. "We all dote on Pinkie Pie, but th' girl's allergic ta wheat. S'why she looks puffed up alla time. Even workin' around th' stuff sets it off."
"But hair doesn't puff up from-"
"What I'm sayin'," Applejack continued, overridding Twilight's objection, "is we all learned ta love cornmeal cupcakes. An' you better learn too."
"Um, sure." Of course Pinkie Pie wouldn't mind, being Awake, but obviously the unAwake ponies were protective this Loop. And... Some strange impulse pushed Twilight to try an experiment. "Do you think anypony would mind if I took one for later?"
"'Course not," Applejack said, the smile back on her face. "This is your party, after all."
A few hours later, Nightmare Moon caught the cupcake just before it could bonk her on the nose. "What disrespect is this, that dares throw confectionery at your new ruler?" she asked, examining the missile. "A cupcake?" She broke it apart, took an experimental nibble, and made a face. "Cornmeal? What kind of a stupid idea was this?"
On cue, Pinkie Pie sniffled and whimpered, "Don't you like it? I made it for you..."
The crowd of ponies gathered in the town hall glared at Nightmare Moon. Eyes narrowed. Hooves stomped.
"Did you hear that?"
"She insulted poor Pinkie Pie's cupcake!"
"GET 'ER!"
Had it been only one or two, or even a dozen ponies, Nightmare Moon could have swatted them down with her magic.
But the sight of every single pony in Ponyville (minus two) charging the balcony, climbing the walls and tapestries, swarming towards her in a righteous berserker rage, caused Nightmare Moon to freeze and dither for several vital seconds.
And then the living wave of ponies crested and crashed down upon her.
A few seconds later dribs and drabs of midnight-blue smoke oozed out of the ponypile and away from dozens of hammering hooves.
"Where'd she go?"
"Hey! That smoke! It must be her!"
"Don't let her get away!"
"She's headed for the Everfree Forest! After her!"
Twilight and Pinkie trailed the angry mob of ponies as they stampeded off into the night.
"D'ya think they'll beat old Black Snooty?" Pinkie Pie chirped.
"Probably not," Twilight shrugged. "We'd better follow along and keep our friends out of trouble. We'll need them to purge Luna." After a moment's consideration she added, "And to help keep the rest of the ponies away long enough for her to apologize."
132.15 (Masterweaver)
Apple Bloom lounged on the bean bag, fiddling with some odd machinery as she glanced over at the other pony in the room. "Any idea what this is all about?"
"Given our mutual talents," mused the mare lounging on the couch, "Trixie assumes it is either a lecture on being responsible when building exploding mecha or, perhaps, a request to build an exploding mecha."
The filly gave her a stinkeye. "Ah ain't letting you make any of mah creations explode, Trix. Maybe she wants us to put on a mecha stage show?"
"...Hmm. That's actually a very good idea."
At that moment, Twilight came up the stairs. "Sorry, you two. Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth came to check out a book at the same time, and apparently there's some drama between them this loop." She shrugged helplessly. "I had to play mediator for some reason... anyway, I'm sure you're wondering why I asked you both over."
Apple Bloom shrugged. "Ah'm sure you had a good reason."
"Right, since these are apparently now mandatory, let's talk about our element." Twilight levitated her stick of chalk and wrote the word MAGIC in large, bold letters in the middle of the air. "Now, what is magic?"
Trixie and Apple Bloom shared a look, before turning back to the unicorn. "Friendship is magic!" they chorused, identical smirks on their faces.
Twilight rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes, I know, haha. But in all seriousness..." She closed her eyes, a tiara flashing into existence momentarily afterwards. "These ancient artifacts, manifestations of abstract concepts, are known as the Element of Magic and are often considered the core of Harmony. Not always, mind you, but the gem goes in the center of the tree, I was the first to ascend... I'm not saying Magic is the most important thing, mind you. It just seems to be the thing that draws the other elements together."
"I thought that was loyalty," Trixie quipped.
Twilight shrugged. "I think Loyalty keeps us together, kind of. Magic is... we are... we're the planners. Not the leaders!" she hastened to add, "Not always! We're the ones that can come up with the steps between where we are now and where we want to be, for everyone. We're the... grease between the cogs of the other five elements."
Apple Bloom raised a hoof. "That metaphor ain't entirely--"
"You get what I mean! We're the ones that, if we're doing our job properly, keep the other elements working together." She bit her lip. "I think. It's all kind of vague really..."
"No, I get what you mean." Trixie rose up slightly. "During the back up loop I had to keep Gilda and Chrysalis from coming to blows a lot. They didn't hate each other, but... well... Gilda's rough and tumble, and Chrissy's very, uh, refined in her own way."
"Canopy knows Ah've been the one ta mediate between Scoots and Sweets a lot," Apple Bloom added with a nod. "And that's before factorin' in Diamond's ruthlessness and Silver's whole chaotic streak..."
"What, nothing about Nyx?"
Apple Bloom gave Trixie a look, one hoof pointing at a bemused Twilight Sparkle. "Unlike some ponies, Ah know better then ta badmouth someone in front of their own mothers."
"Actually, I'm pretty sure Twilight is the father in this case--"
The purple mare in question cleared her throat. "Putting aside the admittedly confounding question of my daughter's parentage... Magic, as a word, tends to be derived from older words meaning 'power' or 'learned one'. Thus, magic is very much a science, except... it's more of a grown science, an instinct for knowledge. My studies of the arcane, Apple Bloom's love of technology--"
"My explosion sense?" Trixie offered.
"...Yes, your, uh, second sense for extreme chemical reactions," Twilight allowed, "as well as your knowledge of how to work a crowd all come from the same source: Our instinct for knowledge. Our Magic. Which is levied in the use of friendship; we use our Magic to keep our friends together." She tapped her tiara. "I've run some tests and as far as I can tell, these things allow for higher speed neurological processing."
There was a brief moment where the other two contemplated this.
"...Wait." Apple Bloom held up a hoof. "Are ya saying... our element makes us think faster?"
"...Pretty much, actually."
"So people with Kindness get to be omniglots, Honesty people can dispel illusions, Loyalty has a built in radar, Laughter can break reality, Generousness has both a weakness sense and healing powers... and we think faster."
Twilight rolled her eyes. "Well, we're already overpowered as is. I'm an archmage prodigy, you're the self-proclaimed walking technological revolution, and Trixie could blow up a planet."
"And has impeccable acting skills!" Trixie added. "And an intuitive mastery of illusion! And an incredibly sexy marefriend! And has created simple life--!"
"Ah get it." Apple Bloom shrugged. "It's just... Ah'm kind of gypped, is all. Ah would have thought being a bearer of Magic would give me an awesome superpower or somthin'."
"Well..." Twilight dispelled the word floating in midair. "I'm sorry, but, yeah. That's all we get."
"Come on, Apple Bloom, cheer up." Trixie grinned. "Trixie has an idea, and she'd like your help with it..."
132.16 (Scorntex)
Twilight found herself being woken up from a blissful sleep by somepony nudging her. Blearily, she opened her eyes to find Nyx smiling innocently at her.
"Nyx? What is it?"
"Is it alright if we" and only then did the blobs behind Nyx solidify into the rest of the Crusaders, "borrow the basement lab for a few hours?"
"Yes, it's fine" Twilight said, not even waiting for a response before going back to sleep.
An hour later, when it sunk in, she got up and with some small effort made her way downstairs, to find the lab had been turned into a small workshop, with Apple Bloom hard at work on what looked like a very basic machine replica of a pony.
"Girls" Twilight stated, "what's going on?"
Several nervous glances were shared between the fillies, before everypony looked towards Sweetie Belle.
"It's your turn" Diamond Tiara said, in response to the look the filly gave everyone else. With a palpable air of reluctance, Sweetie Belle nodded. Wordlessly she trotted over towards Twilight Sparkle, then past her. Twilight followed Sweetie to the front door of the library, where Sweetie Belle stopped, and withdrew two pairs of earphones, handing one over to Twilight Sparkle.
"It'll help" she said, in an all-too ominous tone. She waited until Twilight had put them on, then opened the door.
The first thing Twilight saw was a massive crowd of ponies, more than Ponyville contained on a regular Loop, many of them wearing black, blue or purple.
The first thing she heard was a massive, continuous screech of noise, loud enough to make her head feel like it was going to explode. Mercifully Sweetie slammed the door shut before that happened.
"Explain." Twilight stated to the Crusaders. They looked over toward Nyx, who shuffled her hooves.
"Funny story." She said, "You see, this Loop has a version of the cult that created me... only instead of a cult, they're..." she muttered something Twilight couldn't hear.
"Yes?"
"They're more of a fan-club" Diamond Tiara said. "And with a thousand years to grow, well... you've seen the results."
Twilight nodded, then looked over at Apple Bloom, "So you're working on-"
"A distraction, yeah. Basic facsimile drones with a holoprojector makin' them look like us. We're gonna let them loose an' hope Nyx's fans chase these things down while we hide out on another planet fer the rest of the Loop."
Twilight stared from Crusader to Crusader, then to Nyx, then back to Apple Bloom. She considered the large crowd outside her library.
"Need any help?"
132.17 (Evilhumour)
Mac looked with surprise as Rarity and Spike walked into his bar with a horrified look on their faces and at a distance from each other.
"Two Brain Bleaches please." Rarity asked with a shudder, Spike hesitating to pat her shoulder.
"Bad Loop?" He asked with concern as he reached for the drinks.
"In a way, yes." Rarity spoke with some dread. "I replaced Daenerys and it was a bit different from their baseline."
"What happened? Did Spike replace somepony from the Lannister?" Mac looked at the couple, placing the drinks down.
"Oh no, that would have been better than what we went through." Spike grumbled as he picked up his glass. "You know how Daenerys is called the Mother of Dragons and almost gave birth to one?"
"Ye-OH!" Mac's eyes went wide at the implication the dragon was giving him.
"Yeah, and I was Awake from the get go." Spike pouted, looking at the drink in claw and then at his wife. "Cheers."
They clinked their glasses and drank away the memories of their last loop.

YES ive been waiting for more loops and now its a whammy of 5 chapters at once! Time to binge them all and wait in sadness for more.
I am proud of what I've done. So very proud.
re -- 132.11: Pfft. She's already unstoppable. This probably just made everything boring by being too easy!
Oh come on, that's a great pun!
Better then nothing, right?

Probably too proud but, hey. We all have our flaws.

Come on, Apple Bloom, thinking faster is an awesome super power. Honestly? I'd rather be able to think faster than have any of the other powers the Elements give.
We need more pranks on Aphrodite and Zeus, those two are the worst examples of Admins I know of.
I think my favorite from this batch was the Frozen one, very cute and I can totally see Princess Pinkie's parties being the talk of several kingdoms.
Elsa's Looping. Nice!
Reasonable enough.
5553864
"Ah get it." Apple Bloom shrugged. "It's just... Ah'm kind of gypped, is all. Ah would have thought being a bearer of Magic would give me an awesome superpower or somthin'."
Yes, it IS the most powerful superpower. EXCEPT for Loopers. They think faster(Something we don't see in Canon sadly.) which mean they don't need as much time to think about stuff. But Loopers have Time enough. Also if you think faster, you get bored faster too.
I thought 'Let's see what happens' was Gregor's Dictum.
132.1: Too confusing for this non fan, but I'm sure fans of the series think it's great n_n;
132.2: More enthusiastically than excpected. *grins* Mght confuse a few folks.
132.3: I love the plan name
132.4: Pfft
132.5: Least the author is living up to his name.
132.6: Especially when non baseline is even funnier.
132.7: Whoops...I guess? No idea what was going on here ^^;
132.8: *Grins* Very nice. I wonder how he's related to Ivancha
132.9: Pfft, he best way to fix things obviously.
132.10: The best way to study your romantic partner XD
132.11: Hmm...More squirrels is best XD
132.12: Pfft.
132.13: Good policy
132.14: Grind it fine enough and it can add a nice flavour. Or if you grind up sweet corn for flour.
132.15: ...being able to think faster isn't enough?:P
132.16: On the plus side they have a great name
132.17: All I can think is "For some folks...that's a fetish"
132.8
I saw Car Talk in the Flim Flam brothers :) amazing show :)

Who do you think Gregor picked it up from? (See Mirror Dance.)
So, does this count as Sunset ascension?
5559606 No. At no point anywhere in this chapter does Sunset have both a horn and wings, in any form.
HAIL TO THE GLORIOUS LOOPS OF TIME!
Funnily enough, my last name is Cheatham. As a result, the Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe Law Firm is a favorite joke at family reunions. That and "If you can't beat 'em, Cheatham."
And flood of squirrels in Yggdrasil's code? Did someone call for Squirrel Girl? Cause a flood of squirrels is always fun- unless you are the ruler of Latveria and then squirrels are the most terrifying thing in the world.

There was Click and Clack reference. I love this fic forever now.
Also, Aku is looping? THAT is terrifying
5605600 Isn't squirrel girl the Marvel anchor?
6720343 oh hay no! Spider is the Anchor to marvel!
5555298
This was confirmed awhile ago - the queen of Arendelle actually got her "Welcome to the Multiverse" speech during her first visit to Equestria.
She's not the Anchor, though - that's Kristoff.
I feel like I am necro-posting when I comment here now but seriously AB has no reason to complain.
She just got told that she is the vital part of basically the justice league and she complains about being BATMAN.
Really girl, get your priorities straight.
I see no issue with this commentation. That was perfectly respectable.
FlimFlam brothers as the Tappet brothers. Brilliant.
Box ghost is hilarious BEWARE‼️‼️
I thought Sleipner said that the Lovecraftian mythos was just a bunch of viruses.

It's been a while, presumably.
