Post number/s: 31116886; 31116903; 31116918; Original author: Blasted Cannon !1pgBOLBb.g >It’s the best night of the week >Game night with your marefriend Starlight Glimmer! >You’ve been waiting for this since…. like, forever >Well, since last week >Last week… where Starlight beat you yet again in Dragon Pit >It’s unfair, she’s been playing that game since she was a foal >It’s also embarrassing as fuck to lose to your marefriend >This week though, THIS week you are going to kick her squishy, adorable butt >....and maybe if you’re lucky plow it later >This week it's your turn to pick a game >aka not Dragon Pit week >....she picks Dragon Pit every time it's her turn…. >You really want to continue your Oubliettes & Ogres campaign, but that includes some of your other friends >Tonight it's just you and your pretty mare >You’re thinking either Horseshoes and Ladders or Cloperation >Horseshoes and Ladders is a classic but you’ve never played Cloperation with her before >Fuck it bring them both! >You grab them from your closet and head out to Starlight’s place >Or rather Princess Twilight’s castle >Your current house is tiny straw shack barely fit for one, and Princess Twilight doesn’t want her place to become a hotel >She let you stay there for a bit when you appeared here until more permanent accommodations were made, it's how you met Starlight >But you and Starlight have been saving bits and searching for a place to call your own >You arrive at the castle >It has no locks so you can just waltz right in >Pony society sure is nice >The lights are out, that's odd >Even when nobody’s home they are usually left on >Suddenly, an ominous voice fills the room >”Beware traveller, for you’ve made a grave mistake coming here” >You can’t help but snicker at Starlight’s spiel >You decide to play along >Using the Horseshoes and Ladders box as a shield, you raise yourself to arms >You clear your throat >Using the most heroic (and generic) hero voice you could think of: “Show yourself fiend! You shall not harm my people any longer, for I am the Bringer of Justice!” >You cringe at yourself, that last line was fucking pathetic >”You may still be able to save some of them yet” “Anything for my kingdom! What do you want from me you evil… despicable…. lemon! ” >Every villain is lemons >Nice one brain, you’re really making an impression on her tonight >”A noble sacrifice must be made, art thou committed?” “I will give my life for their safety!” >Good thing you didn’t fuck up that line, there wasn’t much to really say >”Your life hah!, please, keep your life, it’s not worth much anyway” >Even as a joke that hurt to hear from her, but you reflect it off “I’m ready to pay the price, for I have no other choice” >”Very well. The price of your people is… one game of Dragon Pit” “NOOOOOO” >You put on a super dramatic act, you drop down to your knees and hold your hands together in a beggar's position” “You must be willing to barter fiend! I’ll give you all my belongings, anything else!” >”I take that as a no then? Very well, I’ll gladly take your townspeople’s lives!” >”And yours too I suppose, but it may only bog me down” >damn >You get up and ready your shield, then you realize you have nothing to use as a sword >”I gave you a choice, and you choose to fight me without weaponry? How insulting” >Not nearly as insulting as the jabs she gave you >”Ready yourself traveler, I shall take you first, and your people for desert!” >You look to your left and right, but can barely see anything in the darkness of the castle >A body rushes by to your left >As you turn your head to the left, the evil creature is already in the air, hooves first, moments away from striking!” >... “uhhhg” >You sit yourself up and see a pink pony sitting in your lap >The box for Horseshoes and Ladders is destroyed, along with the pieces spread across the entire floor >”Beware traveller, for you’ve made a grave mistake coming here… 20 minutes late” >jesus christ, still continuing with her ominous voice >”Your punishment for this mistake will be one game of Dragon’s Pit before the traveler’s game of choice is played. May Celestia have mercy on your soul” “Don’t think it will be so easy this time, I’ve been practicing all week!” >That’s bullshit, you know it, she knows it >You ruffle her mane “Well we ought to go get it set up” >”It’s all set up already, so we have time to sit here for a bit!” >Her ears go up and her blue eyes twinkle as she tells you that “In that case…” >You rub her in her special spot, right behind her left ear >”No, Anon, stop!!!” >Her hind leg starts kicking >”A-Anon you know I can’t help it!!!” >You learned her sweet spot pretty early on in your relationship. Makes her start kicking her hind leg like a dog. Animal instincts you suppose, she must find it primitive and embarrassing >But you find it absolutely adorable >”I-I-It's EMBARRASSING!!! I’ll kick you!” >Suspicions confirmed >You both let out a laugh >Rubs, boops, and cuddles commence >Might as well enjoy your time on death row until your sentence gets carried out (Archiver's note: The author's pastebin was either removed or the pastes were made private, luckily the wayback machine captured two of the three author's stories but you can also find them on desu archives.)
