I wonder if pony booze is actually way stronger than human stuff because they have such strong constitutions.

I mean everclear and grain alcohol alcohol in general is the strongest shit you can buy that shit is 95% abv at least where I live. its the highest abv you can get because alcohol is unstable at higher abvs and seeks out balance by absorbing moisture from the air and will naturally balance out at around 90-95% abv. to get 100% pure anhydrous ethanol requires the usage either molecular sieves or the addition of toxic drying agents. I have drank it straight before, its fucking horrendous tastes like the devils ball sack sweat and pure hellfire but it gets you nice and thoroughly fucked with only 3 shots. so unless they are drinking that shit it makes more sense that anon would just be a light weight in comparison.

>>41142781
Fun fact: Horses can tolerate more alcohol than humans can due to their stomachs causing grass to ferment. They'd be shitfaced 24/7 if they didn't have a higher threshold for it.

>>41142781
No such thing as pony booze. For them it's juice, cause they can't get drunk on it.
Cider is the strongest you'll find cause it has a nice fizz, and anything stronger is a waste of time for a marked decrease in flavor (ponies hate bitterness).
It thus stands that there is no such thing as pony booze.
On the other hand, horses don't have any tolerance to caffeine, to the point of killing them if overexposed, so pony coffee is a thing. It's the pony equivalent of booze. It gets you hyped up and ready to party, it tastes like shit (to a pony), and if you drink too much you feel like shit later.
I thus declare that kinderpones do not have booze, as the recreational use for booze would be nonexistent with such high alcohol tolerance, but rather use coffee as their recreational drink.
Anon in kinderquestria would not find strong liquors cause they're just not made. Ponies know that strong spirits exist, but they're basically made for industry and disinfectants, cause nopony gets drunk on em. He would also only find coffee as strong as a shitty nestle brand coffee, anything stronger is deemed unsafe for consumption and requires a license to handle at all (such as as when making the ground coffee, making it softer by mixing with ground cocoa).
Anon would thus be seen as either a madman or the coolest dude ever for not only being able to drink black coffee, but enjoying it and NOT dying.

On those notes, how do kinderpony lungs rate? Their hearts? IRL horses are fragile as shit and have all sorts of weird workarounds like their hooves being pneumatic assists for their blood circulation, and their lungs being pumped at full gallop just from their bodies sloshing around at such speeds.
Do kinderponies have the same fragile lungs and hearts? I kind of like the idea of them having bullshit defense against external harm but needing to be really careful about things that cause chronic conditions. Makes the dragon in Dragonshy a severe threat rather than a stinky annoyance.

>>41145422
>>I'm not sure if that's how it works. IRL horses are also much heavier than human.
It's pretty funny how many people fail to realize this, like the smallest full sized horse you can find is the icelandic horse and they average 330-280kg or 730-840 freedom units that's fucking huge despite the fact that the are the size of a manlet at the withers. realistically they'd be roughly on par with us maybe a little less, would also depend on if they like getting hammered too. there's also the fact that poners canonically eat a much wider array of food than actual horses as well, meaning they should a less specialized digestive tract than actual horses. people do it with the sizes of the genitals too all the time too but lets not touch on that. just thought i'd throw my two cents in while i was already responding to you cause its an interesting concept and a good point on your part.

I'm not either but I had to put my 'tism to use somewhere while I was exiled from ponies before returnfagging lmao. But no hard feelings, it's just my pet peeve to correct people's classical misconceptions of alcohol and especially ethanol distillation.
But on the size question, yeah IRL horses are heavy as fuck, and my conception is that it's mainly bodyweight how much alcohol you need to get hammered and size of liver how fast it burns off. Take it there's no other biological sensitivities against alcohol. But I'm not equine biologist either so can't be sure.

>>41142883
What if our little ponies evolved to have big brains, sentience, sapience and, ultimately, bakery only because eating the floor was making them too high to survive? Imagine the golden age mythos in such a society. When a human learns that his horse friend works in a sweet shop, he doesn't understand the implications that are clear to anypony else. For us sweet shops are lighthearted and fun places. For them sweet shops are unglorified temples of reason, the only thing standing between civilization and insanity.

>>41145485
>>But no hard feelings, it's just my pet peeve to correct people's classical misconceptions of alcohol and especially ethanol distillation.
Holy fucking goddamn based you are doing the lords work, you should be given sainthood by the pope for that. I see so much bullshit surrounding alcohol and its insane the effects are literally the same regardless of the drink the only thing that differs is how long it takes to kick in, yet psychology kicks in and males people feel shit that isn't there and they take it as gospel. it's hilarious to me that people think freeze concentration booze is dangerous cause "muh methanol" even though methanol is naturally generated in fermentation, in small amounts, by yeast eating sugars they cant truly digest. and that people think the amount in freeze concentrated/ distilled drinks are enough to kill/blind you. in distilled drinks it may be concentrated enough to give you an absolute demonic hangover but nothing more. am drunk.

>>41145503
Wait, nta, but isn't Ethanol also a cure for methanol poisoning? And when concentrating alco, you concentrate both and drink both in the final concoction, meaning its fine?
I know Methanol distills slightly before ethanol, thats why you should not drink first shots that come out of the still, but I don't think its even possible with freeze distillation, you basically get the whole thing in one operation, right?
So the whole worry about methanol is moot, unless you're impatient in drinking your produce?

>>41145503
>>41145568
Sorry for turning kinder thread into great alcohol panel but yeah, ethanol is main treatment for methanol poisoning. The myth of freeze concentration and methanol probably comes from the fact that main ingredient of methanol is pectin contained by apple peels. How it came to be is mystery. At least in my home country many of the alcohol myths are pure propaganda from prohibition era and that could be the thing in United States too. Also in practice ethanol and methanol apparently distill in pretty equal ratio caused by polarity of molecules and vapor pressure. Heads taste bad in small batches but are dangerous only in mass industrial scales for how I understood it.

>The filly, stunned, rubs her horned head.

>”Anon…” Twilight whispers in hushed panic.
>Twilight starts to back away from the- where’d the bush go?
>It starts to register in your mind that the bush has been blown away, the filly has noticed you, and you notice the filly also has WINGS.

>You simply point in the direction her mother ran, she follows your arm up to your finger for a moment and realizes what you’re trying to communicate and smiles happily at you.
>”Fuck!” She shouts excitedly before running into the bushes after her mother.

“Twilight, we should leave now.”

It's technically not a cure but an antitoxin, since methanol itself isn't toxic, but rather the metabolites are (one of them is formaldehyde, the thing you use to preserve corpses). Ethanol takes priority with alcohol dehydrogenase so methanol can't "find" free ADs to metabolize with, so it goes through unmetabolized, and you pee it out.
However, if you metabolized enough methanol already, getting smashed won't do shit, you're already poisoned with formaldehyde.

>SCP-006 is a rotary pepper grinder. The handle strongly suggests a non-equine origin.
>A pull ring is located on the same side as the handle's curve. Pulling this ring completely will cause SCP-006 to rotate one-sixth and emit a burst of flavor.

>It even had a teeny frowny face at the end just to drive the point home that the uniform wasn't for "Good Creatures".

>Plus, doesn't hurt that humans are crafty bastards in their own right.

>After a moment of scrutiny, the prison guard grabs a hook and pulls one (1) earth colt off of a wall of bunk beds.

>Indeed, a colt is foisted into Anon's arms. The prisoners ahead of him have theirs slung over their backs.
>"There's your playmate, you've earned him."
"You're just... giving me some earth pony?"
>"Buddy, don't complain- most prisoners don't get this kinda cred for weeks."
"That's not-"
>"You can work your way up to a unicorn or a pegasus. For now just be happy with what you've got."

>Did he really just get issued a prison bitch?
>Is the colt a prisoner here or is this the Nick Jr. version of a conjugal worker?
>So many questions.
>The colt looked up at Anon with tired eyes.
>"I know I suck, you can't even use me to cheat cuz I can't do anything cool. Feel free to use me as a shield in dodgeball."
>Damn.
>He wasn't even upset about the implications.
>Poor kid.
>Fucking systemic tribalism making this colt always get picked last for reindeer games.
>The sheer cheek of it rustles jimmies long since settled in Anon's sundae bowl.
"Look, I dunno why they just gave me a kid with the same gravitas as giving me an arcade token, but you don't gotta worry about me ditching you. What's your name, kid?"
>"Name's on the tag- you don't gotta pretend you care, mac."
>Oh.
>He was wearing an actual cat collar, apparently his name is Alcatraz Seltzerwater.
"I ain't pretending, Alka-Seltzer. I mean, yeah, we just met, but the way they just give me a kid like it's nothin- and act like he's just the basic model right in front of him... It ain't right. I'd rather stick with you outta spite if not friendship."
>"Oh. Huh."
"Uh... Do I gotta feed you, or do they... uh...."
>"They'll give you extra, you can decide if I get any..."
"Ok, nope, that is just- NO. Tomorrow morning we're going straight to the warden, how the HELL do they justify giving pet kids to criminals? You deserve better!"

>"But, you're right- today's a big day, perhaps some pomp and circumstance is required."
>Twilight immediately clued in on this concerning development.
>The Princess isn't pretending to hate being a princess to test Her students?
>Was she getting a promotion!?
"Oho, have I piqued your interest? Oh, don't be a sourpuss- your right eyebrow was so high I could've moved it with the same spell that moves the sun, silly filly."
>The implications have been further implied!
>While the pair took a leisurely walk through Canterlot's vaulting sanctums, Twilight was walking the delicate tightrope of trying to gather enough supposition and implications from small talk to figure out what the big event was.
>Because one obviously does NOT just directly ask Her about important stuff. Ponies will be told when ponies are told, and all shall be well. But dang it if Twilight wasn't curious.
>Eventually their path meandered towards Celestia's bedchamber.
>Twilight struggled to contain her excitement.
>How could any pony not be ecstatic?
>Past those solid oak doors lay one of the most sacred artifacts in all of ponydom, an object so central to Celestia's royal personage it might as well be part of the crown jewels.
>"Ah, yes, feel free to lay on the water bed- just be careful with your horn, dear. I'll get the tea."
>The Royal Waterbed. That which Princess Celestia Gertrude Baldwina Solanae IV had slept upon for thousands of years.
>Celestia, Keeper of the Cradle Sun, Babysitter of Ponykind, Mother of all Orphans, Captain of the Dodgeball Legions, Inventor of the Spork, Instigator of the Great Field Trip.
>This bed had had her butt on it for each of those accomplishments.
>The history in the room simply staggered Twilight, but what staggered her more than all of that?
>Princess Celestia not only had a real waterbed, but could be trusted to keep books near it.
>'She can just buy new ones if it leaks on them!' a less pious, possibly even heretical pony might say, to which Twilight would simply point out how many first edition books there were on that shelf!

>"Helllo? Canterlot Orbital Control, calling Voidship Twiggy!"
"ggrRRAAAACH!"
>"Hehe. That always gets you. You were doing that thing again, dear. Your tea is getting cold."
>Twilight savored the pale golden tea. It always had an odd... memory? to its taste. Like licking the ballpit of a Hayburger Hamlet that's been closed for years. Like longing and being disgusted by your own actions had a flavor. Nostalgia in a cup.
>She still didn't know if that was just some quirk of this blend of tea, or if being physically brewed and poured by a living goddess just kinda had that effect.

>>41187878
>She definitely didn't know a polite way to ask, and so she would remain ignorant.
>Tea and cakes were eated in abundance, as silent and fluttering Turbo Sprites attended the master and student.
>They always seemed to complete a task a split second before you were going to ask. Dishes were never allowed to empty until you were about to be done. How did they know?
>"Now then, since the pleasantries are out of the way..."
>As She spoke, Celestia reached out with Her magic, grabbing a few books, scrolls, and a badge Twilight hadn't- no, wait, she had seen that before- on her flank!
>"I won't lie, Twilight. The Empire is in a bit of a rough spot right now. Ponies hate the current season of cartoons, they want anime from those Kirin upstarts but not actually anime or from the Kirin. Foals are getting tired of the current offerings of lunchable, no matter what kinds are in stock. Traitorous goth mares stinkbombed the entire Yak/Pony kickball tournament, another parasprite hive fleet ate ANOTHER picnic planet-"
"OH NO! We need to organize a rescue! I volunteer to handle the fleet's logistics, I'll stay up until 11pm if I have to! Get those ponies offworld before-"
>"It's too late, Twilight. The parasprites got everything and everypony."
"E- e-e-e-very... p-pony?"
>Celestia did not answer immediately. She looked out the bay window, watching the city far below. When she answered, finally, Twilight strained to hear.
>"Even the governor's 2 year old son was left... completely hatless. And such tragedy is but a drop of water in a sea of misery, as of late."
>Twilight was stunned. Even the Princess was fighting to not sob. Even the poorest guttersnipe can afford a baseball cap! To think that one of Fancy birth would be..... no, she can't bear to finish that thought!
"What can we do? What can *I* do, since.... wait, you called me here to- you don't think *I* can fix this, do you?"
>Twilight had never been more scared in her life, until she saw how the Princess was looking at her.
>Not pride, not even love, but-
>She had seen this look before, mere hours ago. Many times today, in fact. It almost looked like...
>The Princess was looking at Twilight the same way ponies look at the Princess.
>Something beyond faith, for inevitability doesn't need mere faith.
>She knew Twilight would be able to help, somehow. It was beyond any possible doubt in Her mind.
>The warmth of this realization filled Twilight's bones, but the fear of such a monumental task still occupied her tummy and maybe her liver.
>"Certainly not on your own, Twilight. But, I've been training you for a task and a purpose, one which will place you in a position to do the most good for the most ponies."
"But what can I do, Princess?"
>"Come with me. You'll understand everything, once the ceremony starts. No, just come as you are, dear. Don't worry about your hat or any makeup, yes, really, it'll all make sense."

>>41187965
>Twilight followed her Lady and Mistress to...
>Where are they going, actually?
>And why are so many Fancy ponies bowing so long?
>They seem to be waiting until Twilight had passed them as well-
>They couldn't be bowing to Twilight as well, could they?
>"Ah, you noticed it too? Seems even I can't keep some things secret for long."
"Princ-"
>Twilight's response was silenced, not by any pony's actions, but by the sight of their destination.
>A vast golden gate, in the shape of a heart, a rainbow faintly shimmering at its edges.
>The Queen's gate, thronged with hopeful pilgrims, guarded by the Prefects and their legendary bo staff skills.
>Many ponies told of the awe-inspiring majesty of the Gate, of the Grandmother of All who lay in dignified retirement beyond, but Twilight couldn't help but think they left out how...
>Terrifying.
>How terrifying it was, knowing you're the center of whatever's going on here.
>All the glitter and rose petals, all the priests with censered markers wafting their blessed scents
>All for Twilight's honor, but why?
>Finally, she dared a word-
"Princess? What's-"
>The Gate flared to life. Fanfilly screams filled the air. A few older mares cried.
>Pious ponies picketed the perimeter, perchance to perceive the potentate, perilously prodding the Prefects.
>The shimmering, undulating field stabilized, and beyond the golden heart Twilight could see...

>>41187967
>What looked vaguely like a monkey, a very old monkey, on one of those breathing machines.
>Everypony in the audience bowed until their snoots booped the floor, even Princess Celestia herself.
>Twilight tried, but found that she couldn't. A faint golden light locked her knees.
>"Not today, Twilight. Approach the Queen. This is your graduation, my most faithful student-no-longer."
>The hundred-stride walk felt like a hundred miles. Twilight's heart skipped a beat when The Queen looked straight at her.
>"Hello? Oh, hello there, my little pony! For a second there, I thought I was losing my marbles! My little Sundance told me you wanted to talk to grandma, yes?"
"Um.. I.. Don't know? Celestia didn't actually tell me."
>"Oh, yes, that sounds like my little Sundance- likes teaching through tricks, doesn't she? Well, let's see- She and I've been talking and, it seems like ponies really need you to be brave?"
"Uh.. Yes, granny."
>"Well! Maybe a little imagination will help. Lessee, there's none braver than an old sea salt, don't you think?"
>Twilight nodded. Captains have to know all sorts of dirty songs and eat old bread. The math added up.
>"Then, why don't we make you a captain? No, spare your doubts dearie, I know you can do it. Granny's sending you a- a little present, Twilight. One of those lovely helpers should be bringing it."
>True to Her word, the High Honors Prefect himself came down the aisle, a crushed velvet cushion and a parcel on his back.
>Inside, there was-
>No, that can't be right.
>Twilight was shaking and holding back tears. A fine tricorne hat, with real feathers.
>The Prefect, noticing her hesitation, bowed low as he placed it on her head for her.
>It fit perfectly. More perfectly than the most finely tailored hat she'd ever owned.
>It really was hers.
"Thank you, grandma. It's perfect."
>"Oh, I'm so glad you like it, dearie! I-i-Grandma's got to go now, it's time for my medicine and then my soaps! I love you all, my little ponies! Stay safe!"
>And just like that, Twilight Sparkle added Big-Hat-Captain to her list of titles.

>Princess Celestia approached, the Royal Cardboard Tube in her grasp.
>"Kneel, Lady-Duchess-Big-Cheese-Supreme Twilight Sparkle."
>She did.
>As Celestia spoke, each sentence was punctuated with a gentle tap of the tube on Twilight's shoulders or head.
>"By ancient accord, doth all Ponykind enter covenant with thee. Thou shalt be master and commander, thou shalt obey no bedtime not set by thee, thou shalt be restricted from nowhere, permitted everywhere, for as long as thou serveth the needs of thy People. Dost thou accept this grave charge?"
"Y-yes?"
>"Then We bid you: Rise, Lady-Duchess-Big-Cheese-Supreme-Big-Hat-Captain of the FriendShip Ponytacaravel."
>Twilight did so, and was given the stack of things Celestia took from her bedchambers.
>Or, rather, these looked a lot fresher and crisper.
>"These documents are sanctioned Xeroxes, of the correspondence between Grandma and I. The originals, scrawled by Her own hand, shall remain protected within Canterlot's archives. Hoist these blessed documents high, that all who serve you will know the worth of their leader. That all who dare impede you will know the gravity of their folly. That your own doubts will know the faith placed within you, whenever your heart falters. And so shall it be, for as long as your House has a worthy successor."
>The ceremony was capped off with something Twilight could hardly imagine, even after being uplifted to near-sainthood:
>Princess Celestia personally placed a gold star upon Twilight's hat of office. A real gold star, that had to be sewn in, and had a slip of laminated well-wishes from Grandma herself hanging from it.
>A Purdy Seal! A real Purdy Seal!

>The rest of the day was a whirlwind of balls, galas, cotillions, and even a shindig near the end.
>Finally, FINALLY, she was led to the orbital balloon station, where an unfamiliar cyan mare was waiting next to her personal shuttle.
>"Captain. Flight Deck Officer, 2nd Class, Rainbow Dash. At your service."
>There was something off, something cold, about how Twilight's chauffeur greeted her. She decided to press the issue:
"Is there a problem, Rainbow Dash?"
>"Nothing a mare of your station should worry about, ma'am."
>Ugh!
"Speak freely, Ms. Dash. That's an order."
>A huff and a puff and a sigh just exaggerated enough to be insulting without being so exaggerated as to warrant action followed.
>"I've lived my entire live aboard Pony'Vel, doing safe runs to Cloudsdale-Upon-Venus, or at least safe-ish runs to the Griffish asteroids, and now me and everypony I've ever known are taking orders from a mare who's going to send us out to the places the maps just say 'idunno!' You think I'm being a butt? My whole job is getting out of the ship- how bad do you think it's gonna be when the cafeteria ponies, or the school teacher, or the- you get the idea. Captain."
>As rude as that outburst was, Twilight had to admit she had a point. The young captain had just encountered her first friendship problem!

"Well, I can't do anything about that from here. Let's get underway, Ms. Dash."
>"Aye. Board at your leisure. She'll be ready for dustoff in about 2 minutes."
>2 minutes? That was 2 whole minutes! Unacceptable!
"What do I do if I want her ready when I arrive?"
>"Call 2 minutes in advance. Preferably 5- I'm not *always* napping in the pilot bay, just usually."
>Rainbow Dash's smug countenance suggested she'd been waiting for that exact question.
>Well played, Dash. You can have this round.

>Twilight's shuttle was a standard design: camper van, controls at the fore, slots to attach wagons, spacious enough to serve as a home away from home without being so large as to invite impolite accusations.
>Normally Spike chauffeured her around, but now-
"Wait. Where's Spike!? How could I forget him!?"
>Rainbow looked back from the controls, her wings half-inserted in the flappy flap flappers (technical term)
>"Who?"
"SPIKE! Little purple dragon! Basically my brother! He's been on a trip for weeks, I was so caught up in-"
>"OH, that guy! I've seen him around, folks said he was the ship's new comms officer."
"Oh. Huh."
>"Methinks Her Highness let him in on the plans early. I wouldn't hold it against either of them, if I were you."
"Why shouldn't I? She already told me all of this TODAY!"
>That may have been the wrong thing to say. Fear and concern flashed across Rainbow's face, for a moment at least.
>"Uh... Well, being the comms officer means being the central... guy... who every string on a cup, walkie talkie and dragonfire message goes through. Ponies say the engines or the NappyGator are the most important parts of a ship, but personally I've seen ships sail on solar winds and make unicorn-powered jumps. It's the radio guys who keep a ship functional at all."
"Really?"
>"Yes'm. Truth be told, 3 weeks is a rush job. Guy needs way more training than that, but if he's good enough for the Princess then he's good enough for me."
"And what about me? Huh?"
>"You're the boss. I'm contractually obligated to give you a hard time, all the fly girls are. You can't even get a learner's permit without 3 instances of insubordination on your record."
>Rainbow finally finished the pre-flight checklist. Her hooves were on the bike pedals, her wings were securely in the wireframes. The fuzzy dice on the sensor panel were fluffy and pink as could be. The air fresheners were emitting veritable clouds of pine scent.
>She looked back towards the passenger compartment, awaiting orders.
>Orders! From Twilight!
"Get us up to my ship, quick as you ca-AAAAAAAA"
>The ship lurched into action, reaching escape velocity near-instantly.
>Twilight couldn't help but notice Rainbow failed to even warn air traffic control- the mark of a true maverick pilot.
"Lieutenant- how many times were you denied a promotion because of general chicanery?"
>"Look at it this way: I oughta be an admiral by now! HA! Not gonna catch me with a desk job, jerks!"

>The blue of Celestia's sky quickly gave way to the infinite black of the Backstabber's Night. Twilight found herself reaching for her emergency Smarty Pants doll.
>"Yep. No such thing as a full egghead in the void."
"MS. DASH! Concentrate on flying instead of-"
>"You do realize space is so big that using your eyes is pointless, right? Sue me for checking on my passenger!"
"Okay, your insubordination has gone far past 'hot shot attitude' and well into the territory of a... a..."
>"Disruptive pony? Delinquent? Chowderhead?"
>"YES, YES and YES!"
"Too bad. Doesn't count. I'm technically part of your ship right now, so unless you wanna dismantle your fancy yacht every time I talk back, you got no legal grounds."
>That. Cannot be true.
>Twilight could see the flash of a grin in the cockpit mirrors.
>"Go ahead, check."
"Oh, I most certainly will! Let's see- Here we are, Astrotime Laws and Regulations by Ship Shape-"
>Flipflipflipflipflipflip
"Acceptable carob ratios in ships' chocolate- no."
>Flipflipflip
"Proper storage of capital-class kickballs- save that for later."
>Flipflipflipflip
"Ah, right here, proper conduct of a small craft pilot! 'Due to a technicality in the control mechanisms, a pilot is legally cons-ggrAAAACH!'"
>The ship lurched, and lurched again, as Rainbow Dash doubled over in laughter.
>"I BUGGING TOLD YA!"

> horse world or some shit
> anon exists there
> Pones are the big curious
> it would be rude to withhold from them, so you tell them about yourself.
> you're human, you can eat just about anything, you used to work in automotive repair, your hobbies include drinking Piña Colada and getting caught in the rain, etc.
> eventually, pones know enough about you, but they want to know more about humanity.
> being around them for a few weeks by this point, you know they're quite emotionally young, so you sugar-coat everything you say, as much as you believably can.
> eventually, pones like MoonButt and her inferior sister are interested in your stories too, so that they may better rule.
> eventually, you have to tell them about wars.
> rough, but nothing you can't handle. I know EXACTLY how to sugar-coat this one:
> less details, more results. if there are heartwarming stories of heroism or human kindness, sidetrack to those stories. mention killing and death as LITTLE as humanly possible.
> this almost works, but most ponies are horrified that a species could fight so often. even the adult mares are quite shaken. but stories like Sgt. Stubby, stories of medics saving others and enemy soldiers refusing to fight enemy medics, etc., are the kiss-n'-bandaid that makes the story all better in the end.

> now, a Hearth swarming tradition in Canterlot castle or maybe Canterlot theater is YOU, telling the story of Christmas 1914, a story about how thousands of "enemies" suddenly realized that they shouldn't be fighting, and they meet in the middle to play games.
> yes, despite how you sugar-coat it so much it might give you diabetes for reading it, your act is still adults only.

>"Coming up on her now. Might wanna take a peek while we still good her in full view?"
>Slowly, carefully, Twilight tiphoofed to the fore of the craft.
>Her fears were for naught, as Rainbow Dash proved a surprisingly competent pilot.
>Either that, or the inertial snugglers she paid for were actually worth the money.
>Both seemed equally unlikely, honestly.
>Twilight tried to make a snide remark in that general idea, but her voice caught in her throat as she saw what was now *her* ship.
>The beautiful command tree!
>The entire decks dedicated to dodgeball ballistae!
>The crystal ring of orchards, constantly rotating around the middle-aft! Twilight could see ponies tending to the ship's staple crops from here!
>The sheer size of her! There must be thousands of ponies! All working for Twilight now!
>All depending on Twilight now....
>Anyone of them who gets left behind or loses their job or their snackies could blame Twilight now....
>Oh no
>What did Granny say?
>The hat, of course!
>As long as Twilight wore that hat, she had a physical reminder of the faith placed in her.
>Okay.
>She can do this.
>She can do this!
>Take a deep breath and come back with her business face!
"Ms. Dash, take us in. As close to my bridge as you can."
>"Aye."
>Dash cocked her head to the right, which was apparently the pegasus shortcut to start the radio.
>"Captain's gig to Ponyville, clear all vectors for the bridge docking balcony- we are returning with Captain Sparkle. Over."
>No response, nor any change in Ponyville's traffic.
>"Ponyville, please respond. Over."
>Twilight noticed there weren't any open doors around the treebridge, either.
>"Horseapples! BRACE FOR IMPACT!"
"WHAT? WHY DON'T YOU JUST SLOW DOWN?"
>"Haven't you seen any movie ever? This has gotta be some kinda setup, and I'm not taking the bait! BRACE!"
"OR MAYBE SPIKE IS HAVING TROUBLE WIT-"
>The yacht crashed into the EVA door with a sound entirely unlike a bonk.
>The emergency bouncy walls inflated properly, so at least they were in no danger of crew accidentally walking out into space and getting bored while waiting for rescue.
>Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked out of the shuttle unharmed. Turns out it was the inertial snugglers.
>"You hear that?"
"The annoying red alert alerts? Yes!"
>"Yeah, but what don't you hear?"
>.....
>"PONIES! There's nopony to greet you, nopony is running to slap a cardboard patch over that breach, no lollygaggers taking up space on the bridge! Nothing!"
"I-"
>"Stay close, Captain. It's too quiet and too dark and DEFINITELY too red-alert-y here. Believe me, I know the difference between a breach alarm and a Fit's Shucked alarm. Something went wrong, and yes I mean BEFORE we crash-landed."

>The paired mares continued to argue in this fashion for at least 12 minutes.
>They might have gone on for 15, if not for a flushing sound.
>A minute or so later, Twilight was smushed by Spike kicking the bathroom door open.
>"Rainbow! Where's Twilight? I heard her- oh, sorry Twilight."
"Aeiouhghaahaaaaaaaaaaaa"
>"Yeesh, this is downright excruciating to watch when it's not me getting door'd."
>A quick full-body shake to refocus her internal friendship later, and Twilight's ouchie hash-marks were gone!
"SPIKE! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER!?"
>"CUZ I WAS ON THE JANE! WHO TALKS WHILE THEY'RE USING THE BATHROOM!?"
"You could've just said you'd be out shortly!"
>"You could've knocked, if you'd even noticed the- WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR SHIP!?"
>Dashie grinned the grin of a sheep in mare's clothing
>"That was me... I kinda panicked when there was no response. Figured it was a trap."
>"Well, that would be the smart thing for a movie pilot to do. Oh well, least nopony was here to get hurt."
"Speaking of which- WHERE. IS. EVERYPONY?"
>"Watchu talkin 'bout, Twi?"
>Twilight responded with a lot of annoyed grunts and motioning at the various suspiciously empty bridge consoles.
>"Ship's parked. Ponies don't hang around the bridge, that's like- Twilight, there's a law against being on the bridge when you're not operating part of the ship."
"But- I-"
>"Literally. A. Law."
"But-"
>"Not my fault I didn't know you were coming at that exact moment, y'know!"
>Spike sighed as he strutted to the Central Message Thingy and flipped a few switches. Spike did not know it yet, but he would be making many exasperated sighs like this in the coming months.
>"Damage control to the bridge. We had another Rainbow Crash. That is all.... Right, Twilight, the Princess spacefaxed a pre-flight checklist. You need to meet the department heads for the support crew, be drilled on the NappyGator, aaaaaaand there's a few 'suggestions' for star systems to visit first."
"That's it!? No hug!? No 'sorry for-'
>"Twilight. We both know the Princess never tells you anything. Best we just get on with our jobs."
"For the record, THE OFFICIAL RECORD I EXPECT YOU TO BE WRITING, I hate that."
>"Captain's first log has been recorded, aye."

>SCP-32
>Containment Class: Keter
>Risk Assessment: Less Playtime

>Special Containment Procedures:
>SCP-32 instances are to be reported to MTF-Arpegaso for destruction. Affected adults are to be given standard cover story Derpy Dropped It.
>SCP-32-A instances are to be tracked by any available agents and interrupted as often as possible. Under no circumstances should an agent physically attack an SCP-32-A instance.

>Description:
>SCP-32 refers to a large, funny-shaped wooden box that mysteriously appears in the victim's domicile.
>The front of the object typically contains a large row of white and black teeth. Pressing a tooth induces a noise.
>Parents of the victim will be compelled to force interaction with the object, causing catastrophic restriction of afterschool playtime under the guise of 'music lessons.'
>SCP-32-A refers to a pony collaborator, dubbed The Tutor. Victims who repeatedly perform poorly, whether due to protest or genuine lack of skill, will typically be targeted by SCP-32-A. It is currently unknown what relationship SCP-32-A has with SCP-32.

>Incident Report:
>Approximately four months after the return of Princess Luna, POI Twilight Sparkle and POI Pinkamena Diane Pie were involved with an MTF-Arpegaso operation.
>Pinkie Pie's telecognitive powers, although well-understood by Foundation assets, had triggered a Purple Synchronicity in Twilight Sparkle, causing her to go on a days-long scientific observation assault upon Pinkie Pie.
>Due to the conflict between the two mares, Twilight happened to be directly beneath the MTF's disposal zone on multiple occasions.
>It is presently unknown if Pinkie Pie knows of the Foundation, nor if she intentionally baited Twilight Sparkle into danger.
>Recommend reassigning Derpy Bubblemuffin due to disadvantageous public attention. Postal work would permit her to assist the Foundation directly without eroding public trust in workplace safety laws.
