It was chaos.
Smoke still billowed up from the grove, twisting into impossible shapes as it filtered through the treetops. Pockets of Hellfire still refused to be extinguished, even as more and more water was conjured to quench them. And the screams, the air was full of the sounds of screaming ponies; screams of pain, screams of mourning, screams of panic; they all blended together and made it impossible to tell where one began and the other ended.
Bonbon was no stranger to screams. They were usually what she ran toward when the time came to serve Celestia, but that didn't make them any easier to hear when there was nothing she could do abo

"So... are we going to talk about it?"
Bonbon looked up from the potion bin she'd been digging through. The hustle and bustle of the open air market wasn't the best place for conversation, but the expression on Lyra's face made it clear she wasn't going to put this off until later.
"Talk about what?" she finally asked in return.
"You know what, Bonbon."
To her credit, it only took Bonbon a second or two to work out what Lyra meant, but the realization brought her no comfort. "Oh... right... the whole... 'warden' comment..."
Lyra nodded. "Yeah... not exactly a good thing to hear when the pony you're sleeping with tells you they can legall

“Um... we... do?”
Ditzy's left eye swiveled in its socket, her right one finally getting its focus back as she looked at the cloaked mare across from her. The room she had been summoned to was dark, and the cowl over the other pony's head didn't even let Ditzy see her muzzle. She thought she could see the tent of a horn near the top, be the folds of the hood made even that unclear. The voice was the only thing she could be sure about.
“Yes.”
Ditzy blinked at the blunt response. “Uh... okay... but my daughter will probably be summoning me back pretty soon.”
“And that's where I come in.”

“Needless to say, I haven't been able to so much as touch a pear since then.”
Dinky burst into a fit of giggles on her mother's back while Ditzy hid her own laughter behind a hoof. Sparkler, even as she rolled her eyes, couldn't hide the smirk on her lips. “I'm starting to believe you make all these things up to impress my mom.”
Time Turner staggered as if he'd been struck, dramatically holding a hoof up to his barrel. “You [i]wound[/i] me, Sparkler! In so many centuries of life, do you really think I would need to lie about my exploits?”
“Yes.”
Time Turner's melodrama turned into outright s

So, recently found out they're making a Rampage movie. As someone who wasted many quarters on an arcade machine version of Rampage: World Tour, I'm hyped as all hell for this.

Let's jut cut to the chase: I was fired today.
It's not the company's fault, I was acting immature and cussed at one of my supervisors over something that I had no right to be mad at. They have a zero tolerance policy about that sort of thing and I found out today that my employment with them was ended.
Guess I'm going to have to find a new job, and hope I have enough money to pay my bills until then.
