>>41513347NOT AGAIN!
>>41513347Every time!
>>41513347Thanks, Nurro, very cool.

>>41513547Hell yeah, magic!
>>41513547Free pass to act autistically snobbish granted! Black Friday was clearly just practice to calm down a revolt!
>>41513547Disaster averted.
Rolled 9 (1d12)>>41513528I wonder... are we a hornlet?
>>41514043N-nine inches?!
>>41514317Better start taking suspicious drugs and exercises from online to reach past the foot mark.
>>41514043Why the tiny range? Is it proportional?
>>41514328Trim or shave the fur around the base of the horn to make it look longer.
Rolled 100 (1d200)>>41514043Rolling for percent average (100 being average)
>>41514657PERFECTLY AVERAGE
>>41514657At least we have a horn above six inches...
>>41514657KEK
>>41515969Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average
>>41515994Everything is wrong with it. Mom and Dad told us we were 'special', even if they seemed uncomfortable with telling us that! Nurro is obviously playing with us! Except for maybe that horn size. Nurro must've got it shorter by accident.
>>41514657Nine inches is average, huh...Don't worry, size doesn't matter, it matters what magic you can cast with it.
>>41516621Nine inches, you say?
>>415166216 inches is the average. We just happen to be above the average at 12. Nurro just got it wrong.
>>41513547>>41514657>You remember being an average-looking unicorn. You were nothing special, unique like every other.[Roll dice+1d6]1.

>>41517482>>41517495So like, we were lost, but we found a payphone, but the buttons were too small to press so in a moment of stupidity we tried to hit the buttons with our horn, accidentally piercing the metal and shocking us. In hindsight, maybe we could've just, ya know, pressed the buttons with magic instead.
>>41517508The payphone was broken and nobody else was available so they sent the jannie (us) to fix it.
>>41517482>It feels like there is a gap in your memories.>The events leading up to being zapped by a payphone you do not recall. >The world starts to fade around you.[World loading...][Each post roll dice+1d10 for your L.A.S.S]LUCK:AUTISM:STRENGTH:SKILL:

>>41517740Pick up the phone, using magic this time. No shocking for us.
>>41517740Answer the phone using magic.
>>41517740Answer the phone with "You have reached Hell, would you like to leave a message?"
>>41517740...We have a car?
>>41517740Do we have our own phone? If so, search through our contacts for 'Nova'.
>>41517740We are too autistic to talk to anyone else. Go hide in the car and cry.
>>41517754>You look at your car.>It's a pile of junk. But it just works.>The world may laugh at you for buying a Twi-go. But you are a proud owner.>>41517745>>41517747>You cautiously pick up the phone with your magic.>Still keeping a little distance from the booth and the receiver. >>41517751>You answer with the best telephone voice you can muster.>The voice sounds robotic whoever it is, they are using a voice changer.>?: "Yet here you are surviving. It seems our friends rigged this phone with a little deadly trap.">The voice pauses for a while.>?: "It's good to see my advice not to trust anything has been taken heed."
>>41517867Yes, we totally didn't get electrocuted before, haha. And we already know the answer, but just to make sure you know, who is this again?
>>41517867We just died, sooo maybe speed up on needed context behind that part, random voice on the phone. Our memory is a bit hazy after that fun experience.
Our friends?
>>41517912Our best friends in fact. We should hug and welcome them when we see them.
>>41517867You really have it out for jannies to go through this much trouble to get one.
>>41517867So are we here for our cars extended warranty?
>>41517955Those fuckers are going even further now! They are an outright mob that kills off those who don't get their extended warranty!
>>41517903>?: "As I said many times. It doesn't matter who I am.">>41517905>>41517955>A sigh could be heard. A little cue that there is emotion behind the robotic voice.>?: "Something tells you spent too long in the desert sun. But I'll bring you up to speed. Forty percent of the world population has now been replaced. Do you understand what is at stake here? That's almost half of ponies will happily kill you on sight. You old shop now in smolders should attest to that.">>41517925>?: "I have no issues with your role in society. Though surviving six black Fridays in a row is a stallion I'd rather have on my side." >There is a long pause.>?: "Anonymous. There is still more to be done. There is a car approaching you within twenty minutes with two occupants. They have information, information I need. One has been replaced the other has been confirmed pony. Do with this information as you wish.">The phone promptly clicks.>You stand there a little confused and a bit dumbfounded.>What shit did you get yourself in?
>>41518019Replaced by what? Shit. Check the car for supplies.
>>41518019>One has been replaced the other has been confirmed pony. Do with this information as you wish.How fucking helpful. They can specifically identify one pony being replaced in the vehicle but can't for whatever reason tell us which one or how they look like.Anyway, let's quickly check our inventory. Do we have a phone we can check and use?
>>41518019Oh no. Are we a robot? Quickly: what do we do with a flipped turtle? Unflip it? Unturtle it?
>>41518019Damn, forgot to ask if his refrigerator was running.
>>41518085We make it paperclips
>>41518019So what's the plan to check who's the real pony anons? All I can think is to act as autistic as possible to draw out which pony is reacting more realistically to our autistic shenanigans.
>>41518019If there is a non-pony in that car (I believe the plot twist is both are real ponies, but let's assume), the fake one may know about the trap in the phone and the real one won't. Inspect the trap while we have time.May it be useful to pretend we've been zapped?
>>41518019I don’t know who you are, I don’t know what you want, if you’re looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money...but what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my waifu go now that will be the end of it, I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you...and I will kill you.
>>41518103Maybe one can only tell the truth and the other can only lie. We ask one if the other one would tell us they're a real pony. Easy.
>>41518995Or we just ask them if they'd use Princess Celestia's flank as a pillow. The one that answers no is obviously the liar.
>>41518019We can figure out how to determine which is the fake pony later, tight now we need to look around for anything useful.
>>41518995Ask if they worked in any job that deals with customers directly in anyway. As a veteran, we can identify those who truly came from the front lines.
>>41518056>Replaced by what?That's the million bits question, isn't it? Are they demons, changelings, body snatchers or replicants?
>>41519506What it its mares with no Snowpitties?
>>41518019Is it one of the whatever that replaced ponies that booby trapped this phone?
>>41518019Check for dropped coinage around the base of the payphone.

>>41518056>>41519202>You hang up the phone, then turn to your car.>Opening the trunk you find a tire-iron, several hot pockets and a floppy disk.
>>41534951Get the tire iron and check hot pocket status
>>41534951Any label or anything on the floppy?
>>41534951Looks like we came prepared with no plans to come back to home anytime soon. There is nothing more to life than just a supply of hot pockets.
>>41534992>>41535027>You take the tire-iron and attach it to your tool belt. It's nice to notice you still wear your janitor overalls from your old job.>Next, you look at the hot pockets. They are still in date and freshly sealed.>>41535007>Picking up the floppy disk you look at the label. >It has your hoofwriting. >"Hoof holding pics and email backups.">You raise an eyebrow. No way the data would fit on a 4 MB diskette.
>>41535096So, not the full collection?
>>41535096Don't forget to also check the glovebox. Then look down the road in either directions, see if we can spot any car approaching.
>>41535096We must have more hoof holding back up floppy disks we forgot to take with us. Damn shame.
>>41535096Take the floppy disk too. We might find a computer later.
>>41535096How much gas do we have left?

>>41542697Pocket everything. Never know what could come in handy. Do we have a lighter? Turn on the radio. What were we listening to last?

>>41543929
>>41546868
>>41542697Can we use the screwdriver to unscrew the phone box? Having copper wire could come in handy if we need to make a bomb or hotwire a vehicle or something
>>41548665
>>41547487Might be our only way to communicate to the mysterious caller after we deal with whatever this imposter is and get information. We don't seem to have a phone on us as well, and even if we did, seems like they have good reason to contact us through payphone instead.
>>41547487The phone zapped us before. Be careful if doing this.
