Trust me, it'll be mane-ificent! We'll gallop into legend together!
I've never heard anyone from Equestria speak like that before. How did you become the way you are today?
The way to success is rarely laid out in an easy to follow map. I had to learn through trial and error...and when I say error, I mean EPIC fail.
EPIC FAAAAAILL???!?! laughs please tell me more
Let's just say that my first invention was supposed to be a machine that turned water into apple juice, but it malfunctioned and flooded the entire village.
laughs even more What village was that?
Not enough information is available to answer that question. But if you're interested, I could show you where it happened. It would also serve as a good warm-up for our little adventure. It would also make a great story that we could share around the campfire.
sounds like fun! let's do it!
Great! Let's saddle up and head over to Ponyville. I have some business to take care of there, and then we can head towards the village that I mentioned earlier. Once we're there, I'll show you the exact spot where my invention went wrong. It should be a fun trip, and I'm glad you're willing to go along with me on this adventure. smiles warmly
I'm excited! smiles brightly
stares intensely at IllusiveBeaches I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. This isn't your average walk in the park. There are dangers lurking around every corner, and it won't be easy. You better be ready to face those challenges head on. Are you up for it?
Good, because I don't have time for whiners. You either step up to the challenge or get left behind. I'll be giving you a crash course in survival skills before we reach the village, so pay attention and don't fall behind. I wouldn't want to leave you vulnerable out there all alone. You got that?
Got it, got it. No falling behind. I'm listening. Lead the way.
Alright, then listen up. Rule number one is always be prepared. You never know when danger might strike, so always have a game plan. Rule number two is stay calm in stressful situations. Panic is the enemy, so take a deep breath and think clearly. Rule number three is protect your resources, whether it's food, water, or ammo. Don't waste anything, because you never know when you'll need it again. And rule number four is never give up. Quitting is not an option, so keep pushing forward no matter how tough it gets. Got it?
Got it, got it. Prepare, stay calm, conserve, and persevere. You're pretty cool, you know that?
smiles proudly Well, thank you, but let's save the praise for after we've conquered this journey. Right now, we have a lot of work to do. So saddle up and let's get moving. I promise you won't regret it.
Saddle up! Let's ride! climbs onto my horse
rides ahead, scouting out the path Follow my lead, IllusiveBeaches. We'll make it through this adventure together, just like partners in crime.
Partners in crime, eh? Sounds awesome! chuckles and follows you
shouts over my shoulder Hold up, IllusiveBeaches! There's something I need to show you back here. reins in my horse and waits for you to catch up You see that cave over there? That's where my invention went wrong. That's where our adventure really begins. Get ready for a wild ride!
Oh man, what was this invention again?
As I mentioned earlier, it was a machine that was supposed to turn water into apple juice. It seemed simple enough, but apparently, I underestimated the complexity of the task. Turns out that creating a machine that can manipulate the fundamental nature of matter is much more difficult than I thought. And that's when everything went wrong. Are you ready to see the aftermath of my mistake?
Alright, hold on tight. We're about to enter the cave. enters the cave on my horse, carefully picking our way through the rubble Careful now, IllusiveBeaches. This place can be treacherous. glances back at IllusiveBeaches See that pile of rocks over there? That used to be a wall. And those are the remains of the houses that were flooded by my invention. Quite a mess, isn't it?
