[PitP] Ponythread: The Roleplaying

[Tectonic Robot]

Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's no such thing as altruism, my little pony. It's an illusion. The best you can hope for is enlightened self interest. Or not. What do I know, I was silly enough to believe that saving a stranger from having their essence chomped on by a slavering fiend for no personal gain counted as a gesture of kindness.

Perhaps I should just have fed you to my Starship and been done with it. Humph.

The face in the darkness pouts.

I'm sorry, I have no idea who any of those ponies are. Are they important?

"I... I don't mean to be rude. It's just, a-as soon as you get me alone, you talk about how easy and delicious it would be to trap me forever and consume my soul or something. That's... that's not generally how... no, they aren't important. Just friends."

Charnels little hooves spark as she jumps up and down.

Yay, woohoo! Your the best babysitter ever!


"Meanwhile, a tiny mote of bone and leathery hide pops into existance and slowly makes it's way unnoticed under one of her oversized wings."



The Light gives out.

As well as the floor.

All of it.

You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?

(Who's wing?)
