3.
>You yawn and blink a few times to adjust to the sunlight
-
4.
>You feel something soft, yet firm under your head
-
5.
>You shift around to try to get a better look without leaving your comfy spot, to no avail
-
6.
>Begrudgingly you lift your head and turn to see
-
7.
>LORD ANONYMOUS!?
-
8.
>You wrack your brain to try and process just how you came to nap on the lap of the All-Father
-
9.
>Slowly it starts to come back to you
-
10.
>You lost your job, cried into ravioli, Anonymous came to your door
-
11.
>He comforted you, yet also accosted you
-
12.
>Then he…
-
13.
>he…
-
14.
>Pet you
-
15.
>It was SOOOOOO comfortable
-
16.
>His appendages glided across your fur so delicately, yet purposefully
-
17.
>They knew just where to stop and scratch
-
18.
>He worked out stress in places you didn’t know you had
-
19.
>As you’re reminiscing a thought eats at the corner of your mind
-
20.
>Why did he pet you?
-
21.
>For your lord to pet you, and right after he reprimanded you
-
22.
>You’re confused, it hurts to think, you feel… warm
-
23.
>The familiar warmth of madness envelops your body, and threatens to overtake you
-
24.
>N-no, you are High Priestess Brilliant Gleam
-
25.
>Servant of the All-Father
-
26.
>You are steeped in the mystical
-
27.
>You shall not succumb to the madness
-
28.
>You get up, and unsteadily make your way to your kitchen
-
29.
>Your hoof shakes as a wave of madness threatens to overtake your mind
-
30.
>You fight to keep sane and turn on your faucet
-
31.
>You can barely hold on as the last of your sanity fights to hold fast
-
32.
>With the last of your strength you plunge your head into the rushing ice-cold water
-
33.
>With the shock the madness recedes back into the depths of your mind
-
34.
>With your sanity restored the full impact of the Icey water hits you and you reel back
-
35.
>You lose balance and slip, falling onto the floor
-
36.
>You lie there, tired and drenched, thankful that you still have your sanity
-
37.
>That was close
-
38.
>Too close
-
39.
>Though you are a high priestess it seem that being in contact with your lord for too long is dangerous even for you
-
40.
>It terrified you, just how powerful he is
-
41.
>Even though you spent most of your days in the Castle, building up an immunity to the madness the princess’ produce
-
42.
>Yet he could bring you to the brink of madness after just one night
-
43.
>You are tired
-
44.
>So tired you don’t notice as Lord Anonymous picks you up
-
45.
-
46.
-
47.
>Be Anonymous, waking up to a loud bang
-
48.
>Shit, what the hell was that?
-
49.
>You take stock of what’s around you and notice Brilliant isn’t around
-
50.
>Shit what did she get into?
-
51.
>You quickly look around and notice that sound of running water
-
52.
>The Kitchen
-
53.
>You rush to the Kitchen to see Brilliant lying on the floor in a puddle of water and the faucet running
-
54.
>You don’t have time to worry about that though, Brilliant needs help
-
55.
>You scoop her up and take her to the couch so you can see if she’s injured
-
56.
>You comb through her mane but find nothing out of the ordinary
-
57.
>You move on to her back but again, everything is in order
-
58.
>You check her hooves
-
59.
>Fine
-
60.
>Her Snout
-
61.
>Fine
-
62.
>She seems fine, if a bit stunned
-
63.
>You breathe a sigh of relief
-
64.
>You look towards the closed door behind you
-
65.
>You’ve never been in that room but you think it leads to her bedroom
-
66.
>You look down at Brilliant
-
67.
>She seems to be asleep
-
68.
>You hope she doesn’t mind you going into her room without her permission
-
69.
>But it’s for a good cause, she needs sleep and a couch is no place for a nap
-
70.
>Unless you’re desperate, but she’s not
-
71.
>Picking her up, you make your way to the door
-
72.
>Shifting Brilliant around you turn the doorknob and push open the door
-
73.
>As you walk inside you’re greeted by the scent of sandalwood
-
74.
>Interesting, choice of incense
-
75.
>Scanning the room you confirm that this is indeed her bedroom
-
76.
>Her bed is, to you, a full size bed with pink satin bedsheets with lace trim and a mountain of pillows
-
77.
>You lay her down beneath the sheets as you tuck her in
-
78.
>Pulling the sheets over her you sigh
-
79.
>You really are like a father to some of these little ponies
-
80.
>Looking around you notice a framed paper hanging on the wall opposite to you
-
81.
>Getting a closer look you see it’s her guard academy certificate of excellence
-
82.
>Shit, no wonder she thought her life was over
-
83.
>If she got something like this, she must have dedicated her life to being a guard
-
84.
>You exit Brilliant’s room and make your way to the kitchen to turn off the faucet
-
85.
>While you’re here, you decide to make some breakfast for Brilliant
-
86.
>And maybe a little for yourself
-
87.
> looking through her cupboard you take out some oat cereal and pour two bowls
-
88.
>In her fridge you take a couple eggs and some fruit
-
89.
>You fry up the eggs. Over easy for you, scrambled for Brilliant
-
90.
>As you set up the spread for you and Brilliant you wonder how she got in that position
-
91.
>As you munch on your cereal you resolve to ask her when she wakes up
-
92.
>Damn this is some good cereal
-
93.
-
94.
-
95.
>Be Princess Cadence
-
96.
>And you are worried
-
97.
>Today is the first day in a long time that you and Shining are going to take care of Flurry
-
98.
>You have everything planned out today
-
99.
>Well, you HAD planned everything out
-
100.
>But your plan got tossed aside once it was clear Flurry had her own plans for today
-
101.
>You were currently chasing her halfway across the palace
-
102.
>How does Anonymous keep up with her?
-
103.
>Where was Flurry leading you anyway? There wasn’t much in this wing of the palace.
-
104.
“Flurry *huff* dear… it’s time for *huff* you to go with daddy now… *Puff* he’s… he’s probably waiting for us at the barracks now.”
-
105.
>You and Shining were supposed to trade off responsibility at lunch so that neither of you got too behind on your work
-
106.
>Oh thank Harmony, Flurry seems to be stopping
-
107.
>In front of a tapestry of some sort
-
108.
“Okay Flurry, did you get all that out of your system? You ready to go see Daddy?”
-
109.
>Flurry doesn’t respond
-
110.
>She simply stares at the tapestry
-
111.
>You turn to study the tapestry as well, to see what has enthralled your daughter
-
112.
>It’s old, very old
-
113.
>Depicting the former King Sombra, fighting wendigoes
-
114.
>Why would Flurry be drawn to this?
-
115.
-
116.
>Be Brilliant Gleam
-
117.
>You have a splitting headache
-
118.
>What’s going on right now?
-
119.
>You had a weird dream where Anonymous came to your door
-
120.
>He pet you and then you dreamt that you fell asleep together
-
121.
>You get up out of bed as you think
-
122.
>Funny, you don’t remember going to bed
-
123.
>You freshen up in your bathroom before going to get some breakfast
-
124.
>A nice big bowl of Oats will clear things up
-
125.
>Why would you dream something like that though?
-
126.
>Was Princess Luna trying to tell you something?
-
127.
>Or was it your mind that had something to say?
-
128.
>You suddenly feel very uncomfortable as you walk out of your room to see…
-
129.
>Oh by the Princesses it wasn’t a dream
-
130.
>At your table sits your Lord
-
131.
>Something feels… off about this
-
132.
>You feel… something… stirring inside you
-
133.
>He hasn’t noticed you yet, somehow
-
134.
>Maybe you can sneak back into your room and hide till he leaves
-
135.
>*SQUEAK*
-
136.
>You had subconsciously taken a step back when you accidentally stepped on a squeaky board
-
137.
>Anon’s eyes snap up to meet yours filling you with a primal dread you can’t explain
-
138.
>His expression softens as he sees you, giving you a small smile
-
139.
>You feel… strange
-
140.
>He reaches out a hand offering you a seat opposite him
-
141.
>You’re uncertain about how this day will proceed, but one thing’s for certain
-
142.
>You need some oats
-
143.
-
144.
-
145.
>Be Anon, currently finishing the last of your breakfast
-
146.
>The food you make doesn’t have the same flavor as if you ordered it
-
147.
>You never could figure out how these ponies make the food taste so good
-
148.
>Probably magic of some kind
-
149.
>But just because you aren’t magic doesn’t mean you can’t make something passable
-
150.
>*SQUEAK*
-
151.
>Your eyes bolt up to see
-
152.
>Oh it’s just Brilliant
-
153.
>She’s looking well
-
154.
>Hopefully she doesn’t have any lasting damage
-
155.
“Hey feeling alright?”
-
156.
>She looks a little confused
-
157.
>Shit does she have some brain damage from her fall?
-
158.
>”I’m fine Anon, thanks for asking.”
-
159.
>You breathe a sigh of relief
-
160.
>She seems fine but she’s speaking kind of softly, she sounds almost distant
-
161.
>She takes the seat across from you and begins picking at her eggs
-
162.
>You two eat in mostly silence occasionally broken by a cough or burp
-
163.
>It’s… nice, eating with a friend
-
164.
>”Anon, did you cook this?”
-
165.
>Wait, she’s only NOW asking who cooked?
-
166.
“Uhhh, yeah? Why, is something wrong with it?”
-
167.
>”O-oh no, I just… didn’t know you could cook.”
-
168.
>Really? It’s just eggs and cereal, not like you made some five star quail’s eggs and hollandaise.
-
169.
“I mean, yeah. I gotta know how to cook since I live on my own.”
-
170.
>She looks a little embarrassed
-
171.
>Fuck she’s cute when she gets embarrassed
-
172.
>But there’s something more important on your mind
-
173.
“Say, Brilliant. Are you sure you’re okay? I don’t mean to pry, but you looked like you had a big fall. What’s up with that?”
-
174.
>She snaps out of her embarrassment looking puzzled
-
175.
>”I… I don’t really remember.”
-
176.
>You’re pretty sure she’s bs-ing you, but you probably shouldn’t pry
-
177.
>Time to get your day sorted
-
178.
>What are you gonna do?
-
179.
-
180.
>Be Anon
-
181.
>Be finishing up breakfast with your impromptu sleepover buddy
-
182.
>Brilliant is being pretty quiet
-
183.
>You don’t know how she acts normally during the morning; she’s always been really chatty when you hang-out with her
-
184.
>Maybe you should invite her to go somewhere
-
185.
>You need to pick some stuff up, maybe you could make a day out of it
-
186.
“Hey, Brilliant, you doing anything today?”
-
187.
>Brilliant looks up from her bowl with a puzzled face
-
188.
>”No, I think I’m free today”
-
189.
“Great, I need to pick up somethings from the grocer, do you wanna join me?”
-
190.
>Brilliant stares at you for a minute
-
191.
>And stares
-
192.
>And stares
-
193.
“Helloooo! Equestria to Brilliant. You there?”
-
194.
>Huh maybe she did hurt herself, you can’t really tell

234.
Sincerely Prime Minister Gale Force
-
235.

-
236.
>This is good, now you may put your plan in motion

-
238.

-
239.

-
240.
>Ah perfect
-
241.
>You write your response telling them to meet in one week from now
-
242.
>In Canterlot
-
243.
>A shiver runs down your spine

244.
>Harmony help those poor souls
-
245.
>But if they wish to meet with the pantheon
-
246.
>They will
-
247.
-
248.
>Be Anon, a half hour later
-
249.
>Be walking around town square with Brilliant
-
250.
>Is it considered a town square in a city?
-
251.
>The market square
-
252.
>You’re walking around the market square with Brilliant
-
253.
>You’ve been walking around for a bit and picked up what you needed
-
254.
>Milk, cheese, bread, cereal all that jazz
-
255.
>You decide against going to the gryphon deli for now, you don’t want to gross out Brilliant
-
256.
>Brilliant’s been kinda fidgety the whole time though
-
257.
>You look down at her
-
258.
>She’s nervously looking around
-
259.
>You wonder what’s got her on so edge
-
260.
>Maybe a snack will help calm her down
-
261.
>Glancing around you spot a small café on the corner
-
262.
“Hey Brilliant, you hungry?”
-
263.
>”Huh wha? O-oh yeah Anon I c-could go for a bite.”
-
264.
“Awesome”
-
265.
>You guide Brilliant to the Café and sit down
-
266.
>The Chairs outside your apartment have always been a bit small, but you make do
-
267.
>You two look over some menus provided at the door and decide on what to snack on
-
268.
>You decide on a cup of Earl Grey tea, and a slice of pound cake while Brilliant decides on a cup of apple juice and daisy sandwich
-
269.
>Your afternoon snack goes by relatively calmly, though Brilliant still seems to be a little wound up
-
270.
>tbh Brilliant’s been acting kinda weird lately
-
271.
“Hey, Brilliant is everything alright? You seem kinda stressed.
-
272.
>She seems to snap out of deep thought at your voice
-
273.
>”Oh, yeah Anon, everything’s fine. I’m just… just thinking is all.”
-
274.
>Okay yeah, she’s not fine
-
275.
>Then it hits you
-
276.
>She “lost” her job for a week and what are you doing?
-
277.
>Fucking parading around town like everything’s hunky dory
-
278.
>She probably doesn’t want to be out right now and risk being seen by one of her co-workers
-
279.
>As big a city as the capital is, it’s still fairly tight knit
-
280.
>God you feel like a bit of an ass right now
-
281.
>How are you gonna make it up to her?
-
282.
-
283.
-
284.
>Be Brilliant Gleam, and you don’t exactly know who you are right now
-
285.
>Ever since your over-exposure to Anonymous things have seemed…
-
286.
>Off?
-
287.
>Different?
-
288.
>Things just don’t make sense anymore
-
289.
>Not everything… just certain things
-
290.
>When you ate lunch with Anon, you noticed just how sweet everything was
-
291.
>Was food always that sweet?
-
292.
>And when you were shopping with him, the prices of things didn’t make sense to you
-
293.
>One bit for an egg, but two for a carton?
-
294.
>You couldn’t figure out why… but it seemed off
-
295.
>Things weren’t making sense
-
296.
>You glance at Anonymous
-
297.
>You realize you’ve stopped adding Lord to his name
-
298.
>Why? He was still Lord Anonymous the All-Father.
-
299.
>He was still all powerful
-
300.
>…
-
301.
>…
-
302.
>So why does it feel wrong?
-
303.
>You glance at his “Hands” as he calls them
-
304.
>Something happened when those descended upon your form
-
305.
>Perhaps if you could recreate that sensation things might make more sense
-
306.
>Yeah… that’s the reason
-
307.
>THE ONLY REASON
-
308.
>[spoiler]They feel really good though[/spoiler]
-
309.
>No… bad head
-
310.
>But how to get him to pet you more?
-
311.
>”Hey Brilliant.”
-
312.
>You snap away from your Fana… planning.
-
313.
“What’s up Anon?”
-
314.
>Anon sheepishly puts his hand behind his head and smiles
-
315.
>”Uh… I wanted to apologize.”
-
316.
“What for Anon? Have you done something bad?”
-
317.
>”I guess. I forgot that you had been given mandatory leave and yet asked you to come along like nothing was wrong.”
-
318.
>To be honest you had almost forgotten about that
-
319.
>Sure you didn’t want to see your co-workers right now but…
-
320.
>WAIT
-
321.
>This is your chance
-
322.
>”Anyway I can make it up to you Brilliant?”
-
323.
>It’s now or never Brilliant, don’t let this slip through your hooves
-
324.
>FOR THE PETS
-
325.
>… for science of course
-
326.
“Uh, yeah I can think of one thing.”
-
327.
>He looks relieved
-
328.
>”Ah, sweet what is it?”
-
329.
>Deep breaths Brilliant
-
330.
“Co-c-could y-you…”
-
331.
>Come on B brave face

“Could y-y-you m-mayb-be p-pet m-me?”

335.
>Oh sweet Harmony
-
336.
“Y-yeah, could… you …please…”
-
337.
>come on Brilliant you’re almost there

“Um if you want maybe… pet me?”

>He looks a little confused still
-
340.
>sweet harmony, don’t make you do that again

341.

342.
>He shrugs
-
343.
>TOUCHDOWN BRILLIANT IT’S PET CENTRAL FOR YOU

345.
>Anon reaches out a hand and

346.
“W-wait Anon.”
-
347.
>What, isn’t this what you wanted?”
-
348.
“Well, yeah. But not here, it’s too embarrassing in public.”
