My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread

[Kyouhen]

NOTHING CAN GO WRONG! Except for the things that can go wrong. But wow, those are going to be so awesome it's worth it if it goes wrong.

[darthbobcat]

Could just be that sperm with one chromosome is weaker than another, or more numerous or something.

I don't see a reason to. I'm not aware of any placental mammals in the real world that function that way, and seriously, the longer the show goes on, the more the background mix hits a ratio of 1:1.

[erikun]

So... You want me to treat your children differently from everypony else?

*wonders if Midnight's head was built with paradox crumple zones*

I think all parents want you to treat their children different from everyone else.

You have no idea how happy this makes me...

"Success!"
*Flees to the clone storage room, ripping each page into quarters on the way*
*Presses the big red button labelled 'Release Clones'*
*As each of the Midnight clones wakes up, he gives them one of the pieces of the Ship Note*
*Flees before whatever's going to happen happens*

Unfortunately, as clones that have spent their entire existence within those cloning chambers, they will lack knowledge of anything, particularly how to use the Ship Note. Their personalities would be like a blank slate, and they would probably be highly obedient, too. But what would anypony want with a small army of clones of one of the most powerful unicorns in Equestria, each armed with an incredibly powerful artifact, and all likely very susceptible to mind control?

...As the Element of Hope I am obligated to point out that regardless of what has just happened, it has spread love and (probably) happiness, so it can't be all that bad.

...They didn't believe me, did they?
No, but more importantly we need to get over there to wa- I mean, to make sure everything is under control. Quickly.
That, my good friend, is an excellent idea. Ta ta, everyone! *Void Phase*

In the real world yes, I'm not sure about in the idealistic world of Equestria.

[Raz_Fox]

Jayden: "A-hem. During the period of Thanqol's Yandere-related death, we three alpha-level thought patterns will oversee all posting functions and suchwith. I am Jayden Mavel, Thanqol's upbeat, enthusiastic and bombastic side. You know Mask already, she's the insecurity, lies and insight, and this here's Charger, the idealism, discipline and self-improvement personality aspects."

Charger: "Switch between us fast enough and you shouldn't notice a difference."

But, I, you, you too? I thought I was the only person in the world who split up their psyche between three different personifications! Stars and Stones, "Soul Bro" looks less like a joke and more like the plain, hard truth every day.

Of course, since I like titles in the place of given names, they're the Gentleman, the Bibliophile, and the Mountebank. The Gentleman is orderly, polite, insightful, and razor-thin, impeccably dressed and clean; the Bibliophile is quiet, reserved, passive, and revels in the joy of words and worlds found through books; the Mountebank is loud, wild, unkempt, charming, a liar and a creator, in a raggedy old coat.

And now I believe that I must call in my favors to procure ponyart of them.

It's been said, but I have to agree: cutest foal ever. I suddenly support Rariburn wholeheartedly (sorry Raz).

I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP

I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP

You suddenly remind me of the three AI personalities in Clarke's Sunstorm novel. Damn, why did my mind fly so far now?

Also, as element of Insanity, I approve of whatever shenanigans clones of Midnight Mare would entail.

I just got the mental image of a room full of super-annoyed Midnight clones with Nightmare shoulder angels buzzing around everywhere.

Once again, my owlskin cloak that I certainly do not fly around in and use to devour the dreams of sleeping innocents has come in handy. He'll never see me up here.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE?

Raz_Fox assures you that there is only the one Raz_Fox. Raz_Fox would also like to remind you that Raz_Fox lies.

Raz_Fox is not behind you right now, with a SiuiS-made Instant Bondage Kit. Raz_Fox also has no plans to assume your identity and get the credit for Semper Fi. Raz_Fox is probably not lying.

I have four!
Ebony, who is a selfish bitch who will /eat your soul/ if you get in her way or hurt someone she cares about.
Ciflaina, who is a cheerful, hyperactive pervert.
Metela, who is a long suffering mothering type
And Dream, who is quiet and lonely and has oh god so many complexes.

The Midnight Clones turn, and begin to eagerly make out with one another, as that particular shipping takes effect! Midnight frowns, tilting her head slightly.

"I know about self-love, but this takes that to a ridiculous level..."

Elsewhere, Twilight Sparkle turns to Trixie.

"What in Equestria are you talking about?"
"I don't know, but it seemed pertinent to something."

I assumed everyone did this.
oh god oh god oh god oh god they know

[erikun]

I'd assume that thinking of your personality as three distinct parts would not be all that unusual. I can definitely see the impulsive, organizing, and hopeful themes in Raz's description.

Apparently enough doom to kill the thread for a bit. And for me to get ninja'd twice

Come on, everypony! It's not like the Midnights are shipping on sight or anything! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to beat a hasty retreat for this hole in the ground, which is definitely NOT a ship-proof bunker.

*awaaaaaay!*

I should note the reason why *I'm* quiet is a combination of both life stuff, and the fact that I'm typing out the ending of A Midnight Nightmare at the moment, so that's why.
