It being near-deserted means we are a Sufficient Invasion Force!also this section of the forum is kind of near-deserted, really.
I shall start working on liking every threadmark pronto.Also, everyone, we must Like all that has been ported, so that all understand this quest's greatness! It's only 10 pages of posts!
Ah yes, the many benefits of the Lores.
-A small, badly coordinated attempt against Justice Fair Trial's life was stopped by the Bureau.
-Nothing major came from it. All ponies involved were swiftly captured, and you made sure Cadance (and everypony else, really) was none the wiser. No reason to spoil the mood of such a wonderful day.
-Still, Fair Trial is certainly thankful for you. And the two of you spent a lot of time together, during the party, in a much welcome non-professional setting.
-EFFECT: Gain an "in" with Fair Trial.
-Hounded, hunted and haunted. Midday Dew is terrified of what the future holds. As he was the very first scientist to be woken up, screaming, by what would later be known as "the innovator's curse".
-Still, right now he is vulnerable. And more importantly, he is pliable, and certainly willing to make a few compromises if it will help fight the horror away.
-As you look at him, you can't help but think that he is a toy, or perhaps a small trophy, left at your doorsteps by an obedient dog.
-EFFECT: Gain an "in" with Midday Dew.
-Good Baldomare has told you a secret. Good Baldomare has told you something you did not know. Good Baldomare told you something you already knew, but never really connected the dots about.
-Good Baldomare told you there is an "anchor", somewhere in Canterlot. A place, or a thing, or a pony, that exists in all Histories at once. One that she could use like a door, or like a ladder, to quickly reach the pony capital.
-Good Baldomare told you that this "anchor" is, without a doubt, an Outsider. One whose blood could be harvested for the inescapable end that is reaching Glory.
-EFFECT: Advance your objective of locating an Outsider
-Princess Celestia, regent of the sun, made a brief appearance right after the ceremony.
-There were no speeches. There was no fanfare. She did not even smile.
-The only thing she did was congratulate the Princess of Love. And to give her a small gift.
-EFFECT: Princess Cadance receives a gift from Celestia. And perhaps something more besides.
So initial thoughts on our choices.-The crowd is singing. Ponykind is cheering. And the torrent that overflowed from Cadance's heart reached farther and wider than anypony could have imagined.
-The cordon around the park was lifted, and the "official" celebration mingled with the city-wide festivities in a way that only ponies are capable of achieving.
-Not a single problem or accident came from that decision, and everything went better than expected for everypony involved. And just like kindle to the flames, that infectious joy spread like wildfire towards all of Equestria.
-EFFECT: Cadance's objective of "uplifting the spirits of ponykind" will be completely fulfilled.
Celestia giving Cadance the gift of an even longer wedding day is certainly lovely
Wait, no. My apologies, your conclusion made sense but that is my fault.since the gift appears to be giving Cadance more time on her wedding day
It could go either way in my mind. Either losing Luna made her paranoid about security or it made her apathetic to anything that won't help bring her back; I don't think it's safe to make assumptions.Also considering Discord was moved only recently in the update we found out about him, do you guys think that when Celestia went out to search for Luna she moved Discord to a Vault (like with the mirror) considering she would be away from the capital for what would possibly be the first time in a 1000 years and something clearly has the power and will to attack alicorns so Discord might be in a Vault or even in Eclipse rn.
Alternatively, the discord (heh) from Luna's freakout and subsequent disappearance combined with Celestia going off to search for her sister and leaving Equestria mostly unattended was enough to crack the prison. Especially since iirc it... really didn't take very much in canon to break the seal once it had weakened sufficiently, so a bigger shock might still have been able to break it earlier than canon.It could go either way in my mind.

Ironic, since usually it's the Moth that is drawn to the Lantern, rather than vice versa.Also, Velvet is clearly Lantern-pony catnip, seeing as I doubt Midday Dew is anything but Lantern-aspected (Lantern/Forge or Forge/Lantern mayhaps?), making him the third Lantern-aspected pony we've met and will be involved with (for better or worse).
Edit: Or fourth, if you count Celestia, but we're not really directly involved in her life (for now).
That sounds plausible, but what doesn't sound so plausible is that Discord would voluntarily lay low for so long. If he did get taken away, he's almost certainly contained somewhere else instead.Alternatively, the discord (heh) from Luna's freakout and subsequent disappearance combined with Celestia going off to search for her sister and leaving Equestria mostly unattended was enough to crack the prison.

There's a 6 hr moratorium on voting. But... I guess? Bird's presenting it in the same format so I assume we do the same thing as on SV.Actually could I ask how exactly you vote on this site considering unlike SV there's no vote box beneath the reply box, do you just Copy Paste your vote with an x in it?

Seconded, along with the fact that QQ and SV both use Xenforo 2.There's a 6 hr moratorium on voting. But... I guess? Bird's presenting it in the same format so I assume we do the same thing as on SV.
Clearly we need to make sure that our aspects as an Hour are Secret Histories (subverted by everything) and Knock (subverts everything)Ascended Velvet casually breaking the cycle of lore subversion. Trifles such as the fundamental laws of reality cannot contain our power.

Spoken like a true cultistWe need to know who that outsider is.
Making Ponykind happy is tempting, but that doesn't actually provide any tangible benefits. Everything outside the Mansus is a distraction. We need to reach The Glory.

This also might help us get closer to Baldomare, which is always nice.
