One (1) Pony HayStation 2.
This is an uncanonical home console unit for the playing of Equestrian video games. If you are in possession of one, do not look away, for I am also selling the following games:-
- "Foal Reaver" (1 copy, disc format, manual enclosed)
- "Cutie Marky Damacy" (1 copy, disc format, manual enclosed, slight water damage to manual from local uncanonical equivalent to Mountain Dew, which is a bilious green chemical weapon humans pretend is a beverage)
- "Castlelunia: Symprincess of the Night" (1 copy, disc format, manual only available in German because make something up later)
- "Ratchet and Flank" (4 copies, various entries in what appears to be a series, disc format, manuals enclosed except for "Up Your Arsenal", which appears to be a child's drawing of a potato.)
- "Princess of Persian" (2 copies, entries in a series, disc format, manuals enclosed, refers extensively to an uncanonical region called Persian similar to World One Persia (said region was bombed into oblivion by DOGA, presumably while looking for oil).)
- "Dash's Dandy Coat" (3 copies AND ONLY 3 COPIES, entries in a series, disc format, manuals enclosed, games concern a mad scientist stealing canonical Element of Harmony Rainbow Dash's pretty blue waterproof coat and the lengths to which she goes to get it back, the fourth game does not exist and would be terrible anyway)
One (1) collection of uncanonical "manega"
Additionally, this collection of fifty-seven different manega (Equestrian manga) titles is a must for anyone in your life with a predilection for both manga and hideously bad horse puns. Note that the seller specifies titles; some of them are based on World One properties like Bleach and One Piece. The seller advises interested parties bring a few strong friends, or perhaps a forklift.

Got any Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin inspired works? If not, I'll stop by and see if there's anything else that strikes my fancy.
I'm willing to offer in trade:- Fallout 3 weaponry (1 .32 pistol, 3 hunting rifles, 1 sniper rifle, 2 laser pistols, 1 shishkebab). Items are offered in current condition only.
- Magical repair or enhancement of physical objects. I can't make your computer run faster, but I can make the wires sturdier.
- Crystallized mana (approx. one crystal per 5 volumes). Probably not of much use unless you're a magus, though.
- Fallout 3 weaponry (1 .32 pistol, 3 hunting rifles, 1 sniper rifle, 2 laser pistols, 1 shishkebab). Items are offered in current condition only.

As soon as I can convince my husband that yes, this is worth selling the skeleton for (I seriously have no idea WHY this urple skeleton has been in our RC for years), then he'll take it.

Good god, Kala holds a grudge. Remind me not to bring her when I come to pick up the merch.
And before you think of insulting me, I have a ticket for a guided tour of Creation's Celestial Bureaucracy. I'll give you an interview with the Bureaucrat to End All Bureaucrats if you agree to not provoke Kala. I can convince her to not start anything. -

I can has the Ratchet & Flank ones? by

Memes aside, I liked the original World One Ratchet & Clank series, and I'm curious to see what the pony version is all about.
Not to mention I might play a joke on Sergio. I want to see his face when he finds ponies in his Playstation... though I'd have to mess with its firmware first? I wonder how different Playstation 2 and HayStation 2 firmwares are.
For payment, I have some Bleepka bottles stashed away, or if you prefer I can give you CorollaPoints for trying out my new prototypes! Or calling in airstikes. Who needs DoGA when I've got a FB-22? I never get to play with it enough.
[Well, she got carried away. But she's Corolla, after all.] -
Close air support is an entirely acceptable payment. by

Being a Time Lord, however, means that the other option was unworkable; the salicylic acid component of Bleeproduce is one to which my people are severely allergic. For four interesting (if laughably primitive, at least by Gallifreyan standards) video games, shall we say... two instances of saturation bombing and a targeted missile strike?
As to your other inquiry, from my preliminary experiments involving another HayStation acquired from that fic, I have established the HayStation and PlayStation are rather similar on a hardware level. However, where things break down is that the code for the HayStation (and therefore the games that it runs) is written in the Equestrian language, which is semi-pictographic, and appears to be partially magical in origin. A baseline human would be utterly defeated getting the systems to match up.
In exchange for a twenty minute installation service, I am happy to accept a prototypical grenade of some description. -
Deal on the games. by

On the installation service, though, I... kinda don't need it? I'm a Unison Device, for Reinforce Eins' sweater - I'm THE definition for "magical living computer". Equestrian code is kids' play for me.
And, besides, I'm a DoSAT techie. You'd expect this sort of thing to be, y'now, my job?
Feel free to call anytime when you need those CAS done - I don't see why you already want to specify how many of each kind you want, but I can do both things just fine. -

Thank you for your purchase; I shall deliver the games at your earliest convenience. I also apologise for assuming you were a human, rather than alife.

I don't know what do you mean with "alife", but I sure hope you weren't meaning "not alive" because I thought I was pretty clear with "magical living computer".

Not to say that you're wrong, or that this isn't necessary, but it does kill the mood of the thread somewhat, doesn't it?

Tell me, how long has it been since you released a mission report to the public? I'm surprised at you, really—one would think that, with your love of paperwork, we'd be seeing these more frequently from you.

I keep that under lock and key as much as I can. We can't all have a chronic oversharing habit to go with our saving-people-thing and glitter.
