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.

Then we don't have a deal and never will, Snippy the Bush Liminal.

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.

I'm going to regret this so much. Valon loves pu

A WHOLE BUNCH OF BOOKS FELL ON MY HEAD, I ONLY HAVE MY SHELF TO BLAME

...case in point, he just hijacked my keyboard.

Oh, and one insult and we learn how my venom interacts with Time Lord biology. I have no idea what'll happen, it'll be a learning experience for all involved.

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.

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.]

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?

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.

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.

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.

OR, How I want to cover both a shameless boasting and a request for somebody who knows their stuff when it comes to music:


Basically, I sing. Sometimes better, more times worse. I do come from a musical family, so I started to record myself. First and foremost just for shiggles, but I do like to try and improve, so here's what I got so far:

1) "The Mob Song" from Beauty and the Beast - probably my best cover so far. The one I'm most proud of, so I'll let you tear it to shreds :)

2) "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame - probably my weakest cover so far. Not only my voice was out of it, my recording was also messed up, but I do like some parts of it.

2.5) Also "Hellfire", but this time in Polish in case anyone's curious. I think this one was a bit more natural for me (...for obvious reasons), but still not the best.

3) "Prince Ali" from Aladdin - the first cover I've done. The first one I've experimented in Audacity with. Not bad, but that's just me saying it.

So yeah... If anyone's curious how badly can an ESL guy sing - there you go :D

Speaking of secrets... my wife is genuinely a much better character writer than me. She just doesn't actually write anything any more. Which personally I think is a right shame.

PS: It didn't take that long. I could churn out 2-3 pages of writing (including the translation and Tengwar) in a day, and did all the pictures in 2-3 days. I just had a few breaks in the middle. ^_~

(... Star Wars reference... :(...)

Re: the first one - well, bear in mind this was ten years ago, who knows what was going through my mind? But I think Constance was aiming for 'put up or shut up'. Also, he was clearly struggling to find the words to ask her to marry him - she just fed him the line.

But I agree that it's probably the weakest of the five - it struggles too much with needing to infodump LaCE at the lot of you. Bad storycrafting (and it was worse in the original version), but again, it's been a decade...

If you've any suggestions for improving it, I'd be glad to hear them - and given how key a moment it is in their timeline, I might even edit to accommodate them.

PS: Chocolate is either a native product of the Undying Lands, or a Numenorean Exilic discovery from after the changing of the World. But that's cocoa. True chocolate is no older than 150 years, and Dafydd didn't actually encounter it until 1907. His mind was suitably blown, and he developed quite the addiction for about 10 years (until he ran into jewelled chocolate and promptly had some very nasty flashbacks...).

"I knew it," it muttered, bringing its hands together and circling his palms slowly, healing magic sparking and flashing between them. Bright, blue light danced in complex arcs that should've seared with heat, but regenerated flesh before it had even sealed by folding the process forward through time so as to be instantaneous to an outside viewer.

""I will strike upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee!" he bellowed, quoting from the Book of Pulp, ancient tome from which he had learned the art of healing so many centuries ago, as he leapt for the zombie lord.

Dammit, 2016, you couldn't just pass quietly, could you? No, you just had to have the last word, didn't you?

Ugh. I am sad and grumpy. }= (

Uriel turns to face the Zombie Lord, then contemplates his bladed hand, then shifts his gaze to Virro. He then lowers to a Meditative position, imagining his Eldritch Presence. It's a mess of tendrils, snaking throughout the room, growing heavier around his party's magic users. He sees tendrils that once connected Virro to the Zombie Lord, seeing that some may still be connected.

He focuses his will on the tendrils originating from Virro, attempting to will them to reconnect to the tendrils emerging from the Zombies Lord, in an attempt to restore and strength Virro's command over it. He's also prepared to stop the manipulation should anything unexpected happen (ie, The Zombie gaining control over him).

He may or may not be cursing the random die roll that forced him to stand by while the zombie charged by him, even though he was attempting to keep watch. Meanwhile, Virro, who was most certainly not cowering, backs away from the Zombie Lord and begins firing arrows at the creature. "I see this is what you meant. I suppose this new, more powerful version of undead requires more finesse to control," he mutters. He uses his magic to probe the Zombie Lord and see if there are any special techniques he can find while that will give him an edge if he ever finds another of these things. He also makes a note to thank Keegra for interfering on his behalf after he gets rid of this monster. Meanwhile, Shaban does nothing, because he is not about to risk his master's new loot.

Virro: (10) You notice something is slightly off with the Zombie Lord as you watch it go. Suspecting the worst you turn and loose your bow at it, hoping the attack will at least slow it down.

Fight!: (Virro gets (19 +2 Dam +1 Cir = 22) vs Zombie Lord gets (16 + 6 +3 Arm = 25) Zombie Lord wins by 3). Unfortunately for Virro, the arrow just pings off of the Zombie Lords armour and you watch in dismay as it gets within range to strike you down.

Evard: ()

Uriel: (5) You pull off what you think is a wonderful accent. Unfortunately those on the other side don't seem to be able to understand what you said in it. The door opens a crack, and you notice a Dwarf looking through the crack in the door, he seems to see the Zombie Lord and then slams the door shut in your face before anything else can be said. You don't hear anything else from the room.

Keegra: (8) You notice the Zombie Lord making its charge just in time and decide to counter-charge it. Never one to miss a battle you go in all fists flying.

Fight!: (Keegra gets (16 + 5 Dam + 1 Cir = 22) vs Zombie Lord gets (5 + 6 + 3 Arm = 14) Keegra Wins, Zombie Lord loses 5 Health. Second attack, Keegra gets (13 + 5 Dam + 1 Cir = 19) vs Zombie Lord gets (5 + 6 + 3 Arm = 14) Keegra Wins, Zombie Lord loses 5 Health. Third attack, Keegra gets (17 + 5 Dam + 1 Cir = 23) vs Zombie Lord gets (5 + 6 + 3 Arm = 14) Keegra Wins, Zombie Lord loses 6 Health.) You smash into the Zombie Lord and throw punches left and right, weakening it severely.

Xiv'riit: (6) You hear the voices trying to work out exactly what Uriel said, but after the door has been opened a crack and then promptly shut again you cannot hear anymore, they have obviously moved away from the door and so you can no longer hear them.

Kali: ()

Yeleni: ()

Priya: ()

Davug: (3) You watch as the Zombie Lord heads for the door before turning around and charging straight at Virro. You freeze with indecision, not entirely sure what to do.

Shaban: (10) You head into the other room and find a weird black robe on one of the armour stands, picking it up you realize it is magical,but there is no way to know exactly what it does until someone wears it. And seeing as your master did not tell you to wear it you won't. Gained Necromancers Robe (+1 Armour, Other Effects)

Zombie Lord: (12) You start to walk away from Virro. (4) As you do you feel his control over you slipping and you feel free to wreck your revenge, first on Virro then on anything else in your way. With your rage all you can focus on you turn and charge at your former master (+2 Dam in this round of combat). Your hatred of all things living also bubbles through as your limited mind plans to slaughter everything you can (+3 Dam against other Living beings). Mid-Charge you notice an arrow from your former master bounce off your armour and your eagerness to slay him only increases. Whilst your charge is successful, it has put strain on your new body and part of it fails to take the strain. As you lift your off arm to strike down with the Mace it flies off, your undead body now less one limb. (-3 Inj 2 Turns Remaining), fortunately you keep your Mace in the other hand and can still hit with it.

Fight!: (Zombie Lord gets (15 + 6 Dam -3 Inj = 18) vs Virro gets (7 + 5 + 1 Cir = 13). Virro loses 5 Health.) Mace in hand, the Zombie Lord manages to use it against the cowering Virro, even without one of its arms. Still a threat, it ignores the blows raining down on it from Keegra behind and focuses on Virro in front of it.
