My Little Pony WW 2: The Shadow Reign

[Istari]

Yeah, hate to kill the party, but I'm actually one of the remaining masons. Spitfire to be exact. So I would appreciate it if we look at another target before I get killed tonight. And I'll throw a vote on Reinholdt out of revenge for the moment.

[EvilRoeSlade]

So in other words nothing but a vague suspicion careening into a convenient bandwagon.

Still think you need to look at the person you've placed above suspicion for being random. No should be placed above suspicion.

[Reinholdt]

usourselves&we is not me.

The suspicion came from actually rereading the thread's prior day before the Alarra situation. Istari seemed on the chopping block and then suddenly wasn't. That's always suspicious, though masons do explain that.

You're free to go look back if you don't believe there isn't anything but 'convenience'.

[usourselves&we]

So, then you all would be in contact with Grue bay, right? this is a PM friendly game right?
and Grue is the seer this game, right? or did our mind fall into another older/yet to be game?
sorry to be like this but we don't really like claims, and your early

But if you can be corroborated in your masonhood then we will back off.

[Grue Bait]

Yeah, I vouch for him. You though, not so much. usourselves&we 'Course since you're acting beastly, I'll take this off later, and not risk my luck.

[Penguinator]

I'm sorry, &we.

[planswalker]

seer verifies a mason claim. &we gets my vote again, then.

[Elemental]

That's good enough for me.
Usourselves&we. All of them.

[Tom the Mime]

Looks like it's &we then.

[super dark33]

Usourselves&we, even though i think it will be a bad idea.

Day 12

And so things went back to normal..... mostly. The new pony running for mayor still had a hat glued to his head. TigerPony, hidden away in his home had new wings he had to get used to. And the three-legged pony with a forth metallic leg had been split into three different beings.

The first was a white earth mare, with a pale blue mane. She had a cutie-mark of a glitter outlined pony. The other ponies about town could see her, but only peripherally. If they looked directly at her, she'd disappear, though you could still hear her speak.

The second was a dark blue pegasus stallion, with fiery red hair. He had a nearly identical glitter outline pony for a cutie-mark. Unlike his "sister", you could easily see him, and he seemed to be there, even when looking directly at him. But if you looked too long, you'd begin to notice that he too was transparent. And when you looked through him, you'd find yourself staring at his clean white bones.

The third was the most wondrous of them all. It was completely metallic silver, from its unicorn horn to its tail. Even its eyes were silver. On its flank, a cutie-mark was etched of three legs and no body. It moved easily, without any metallic noise at all. And you could not see through it at all.

The trio always were seen together; metallic in the middle, mare to its right, stallion to its left. They could move away from it, but never went too far. And when they talked, ponies began to notice, metallic seemed to be unaware that anyone else could hear its counter-parts. As if, to its mind, they were in its head. They would speak their mind as if no one else could hear them, but only the white mare's voice was hard to hear. She whispered softer than Fluttershy at her most shy.

And so it was they became more and more isolated. The other ponies, as nice as they wanted to be, started to shy away and avoid them as best they could.

By the end of the twelfth day, they were gone. No one saw them leave. At first there was a feeling of relief among Tiaraville Town Ponies. But slowly a general feeling of guilt and sadness overcame them, as they began to wish they had done more to understand the trio.

Spoiler

Ghost, Bones, and Metallic (usourselves&we) disappeared for parts unknown. They were SuperCharged Town Ponies.

Elsewhere...........

A yellow pony kicked at a small stone in the road, grumbling to himself. Stupidmumblegrumble grumblemumble.

Sour Bloom had always been a sad pony. Nothing ever seemed to go her way, and she was constantly mumbling, if she wasn't grumbling, or worse yet, mumble-grumbling. And just where is that Rainbow Dash. He should have been here days ago. she said, kicking another stone.

As she followed the stone toward the center of town, her ears began to perk at the sound of singing. Guh! she stopped in her tracks. What are they singing about now? She ceased her stone kicking, and trotted toward the music.

I'm not going to write out a song for you, because I'm horrible at that, as some of you may know. But in general, it is a cheerful song about the end of the Days of Chaos. this did not make Sour Bloom happy.

She stomped up to the crowd of cheerful singers and stomped her hooves. What are you cheerfully singing about!! she yelled at them. We're still under the control of Changlings, or Twilight Moon, or Silver Tiara!! My friends are all missing, and I miss Tom!

there was stunned silence, as the formerly cheerful Town Ponies just looked at her, eyes wide and jaws dropped.

Rarity? a small voice asked, and out stepped Sweetie Belle as she stepped out of the crowd.

Sour Bloom's eyes began to swell with tears, then she turned and ran back home. Back to her favorite rock, Tom.

Spoiler

Sour Bloom (inky13112) as fallen to her depression, and run home to her favorite rock. She was Rarity.

I knew it would be a bad idea...

[usourselves&we]

so for trepidation we are shewn off to places unknown?
noted
anyways have fun people.
Edit: After being granted a short rest in real life house reconstruction, time enough to read the narration. We would like to say that that was a lovely description, going to have to ask someone to make an avatar from it, it would be so cute.

[super dark33]

Suddenly, Dark spark's horns grew a little, and his winges got bigger and more developed: now he could fly like a normal pegasus being, but not as gracefully as them.

Damn... Now I am inspired to add another artwork to my list...


Edit: And here they are. I was thinking of maybe drawing them anyway.
Let me know what you think and I can make changes and resize them tomorrow.

I did them as a happy family instead of a bunch of creepy people.

Night 12

Now we take you back to another exciting episode of... Batmare!

{Music} Of course, they're singing Batmare, not Batman.

Now that the Chaos was over, Batmare could once again safely patrol the town. And it wasn't long before she found a Changling looking for trouble. But instead of attacking it immediately, she decided to follow it. Maybe it would lead her to more.

For about an hour, she followed the random roaming of the villainous villain, but never did it meet up with anyone. Until finally, it opened the door to Mayor Mare's. *Gasp!* Could Mayor Mare really be a part of this? Batmare swooped down to investigate.

She was about to open the door, when *Tackle* out of the sky someone tackled her. The Mysterious Pegasus pony and Batmare wrestled for dominance for a moment, but soon the tackler gained the dominant position and pinned Batmare to the ground. Shhhh! Don't go in there. he said, trying to keep his voice low.

Batmare finally quite her struggling, and looked up at him. She recognized him immediately. It was Soarin', of the Wonderbolts! What! Why? I was just about to....

I know. And more importantly, they know too. It's a trap. Soarin' eased off of her, offering a hoof to help her up.

To this, Batmare shook her head, and got up on her own. And how is it you know? she asked, dusting her costume off. *Gasp!* Is that a tear!? she thought to herself.

This is where they caught Silver Star. I tried to help him, but by the time I noticed the trap, it was too late for him. So I've been watching this place, trying to find a way in, and not get caught doing it.

Batmare looked up again, and noticed that Soarin' was busy studying the door, as if it'd give them the answers. Then she noticed something else. Sinister eyes staring at the two of them from the darkness. She looked around them, and found the eyes everywhere. Some accompanied by bright white teeth, smiling victoriously at the pair. Uh, Soarin'? she poked a shoulder. I think the traps been sprung?

What? No, I.... and then he too saw what she saw. Immediately, he flapped his powerful wings and began to take off, reaching down to grab Batmare as he did. But this movement slowed him down, and the Changlings were upon them.

It wouldn't have mattered, they found, if he had been able to take off. There were Changlings on the roof as well. The pair fought bravely, but the numbers were overwhelming. Soon two more heroes of Ponyville were carried away and imprisoned in the Crystal Caves.

Spoiler

Batmare (EvilRoeSlade) was caught by the Changlings. She was Soarin' {Mason}, who was also caught.

NOTE: She was also, for a single day & night, The Great and Powerful Trixie! (From Game 1)

Yes. It's very subtle.

I knew this would come up... The difficulty is that while I can do transparency in two seconds, bones would have their own difficulties... It'll take some time to look up pony skeletons and make the necessary changes.
But then... I can get away with only a slight hint I suppose...
And yes. The hair clip is cute.

[usourselves&we]

Like we said, don't wan't you to go to too much trouble.
Also wouldn't want to block the artwork of the shy one with a flat transparent.
Anatomy isn't all that hard to fake, so you don't need to go all out on this if you don't want to. Not asking that all of his bones show, or even joints, the shift wouldn't even need to take place with limbs in the foreground.

Subtlety is the key, just as you said in regards to happy and creepy.
Add what you feel would make this work for you.
Or, with the subject at hand it would be: Slightly remove what you feel would make this work for you. You are trusted in this, as we have high regards for anyone that can draw/paint/compose/write/sing/or really just anyone that can create something.

[Elemental]

Well... I tried my best, and I think that those bones I added are both anatomically incorrect and not very well done.

Spoiler

But it was the best I could do, so I only did a few of them. And instead of straight transparency for the shy one, I instead went for hazy and slightly indistinct.

[usourselves&we]

A quick look says that that is basically right as horses do have bones in that fashion (though their ulna is shorter then humans), and a long rib cage. at any rate cartoon ponies probably (not knowledgeable about that show, don't watch it) would have human-ish skeletons, so it's good for us.and resize would make any detail on the bones almost unnoticeable so it is just hinting at him being different from normal.
And the haziness looks nice on her, always does work for shy ones.
Looking good, if you would want to do anything more it is up to you when resizing. is the formation of a new avatar getting in the way of this game? don't want to bog anyone down if it is.

[super dark33]

Any exciting news from tonight?

Excellent. I shall resize it tomorrow.
And no, it doesn't bog the game down for me personally as I have not been ablt to think of suspicions. I shall remind everyone of my impacted wisdom tooth so they believe me. Admittedly, this should probably have been done through PM...

I'm trying to do some maths to hopefully work some of this out, but my brain doesn't want to.
Anyway... Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Applejack still live... Which is good. Spitfire if my eyes don't deceive me. Plus of course, an unknown number of Townsponies. That's Ponyville accounted for.

There's the Ursa along with an unknown number of changelings. We've gotten rid of two of the changelings. One of them shifted.

As for neutrals: No Trixie as we saw no announcement. Discord is dead.
But we now have Nightmare Moon to contend with. After all, unless Pinkie Pie found her, then she has now gone to the side of evil.

There's as much of an analysis as I can do right now.

[bladescape]

Count Dingdong Since no one else wants to vote. My thoughts would be between him and Tom the Mime.

[super dark33]

So what was up with all the suspicion?

I like pie apples.

[Count Dingdong]

Can't say much in defense besides simply Town Pony. Previous players both AL'd right away, so can't give much in defense there. So going to offer other name if can. Not horrible if die but just joined.

Beast likely big name. Shifted changeling possibly small name as suspicion arose round that time for big names. Can tell one thing: wouldn't shift to player about to be AL'd. Would be stupid move.

For big names, haven't been around to know big name/not. Know planswalker isn't, some others are. Grue, Istari cleared (seer, seer clear). If others cleared, haven't read back to see.

haven't read back, so looking more at recent things. 3 suspicions.

1. Elemental - avoiding first vote, giving reasons for no analysis but otherwise around, also big name
2. Penguinator - last post made me suspicious. Seems saying "I'm Town Pony, no Mason" for some reason. Either b/c mason or wolf, can't tell. any confirmation? and big name
3. Tom - bladescape more skilled than me, suspicious of him for while and other alternative

While better to kill me than town power role, would say killing wolves better.
