Category winner for Poniverse's Mascot Summer Palooza Contest! If you have any questions about who these characters are or why you should be bothered to read about them, I highly recommend you click that link.

Wordplay would much rather spend the day writing and world-building instead of going outside where real, normal ponies spend their free time. A nearly full-grown stallion with no cutie mark, he is goaded into playing a few games with his siblings and their friends--but, naturally, very few things go right. Chief among his problems: giant spiders.

Thanks to The Albinocorn for plot help, and Snow Berry and one Kella Williams (if you see this, I'd love to know who you really are!) for proofreading.
Wordplay, Road Map, Fair Dice, and Pixel Wavelength all belong to Poniverse. Hoops is a random name I came up with before realizing a Hoops exists in the show already. Whoopsie!
