[Lea shows up on the screen; it looks like he's in Twilight Town, judging from the background.]

So the whole let's-talk-about-this-stuff thing reminded me. I'm not complaining, but it's been a while since we've had those dreams, and we haven't gotten any major clues about this new world yet, other than that weird message.

[Lea spreads his hands.]

I figure someone'd have mentioned if they were having dreams again, but it's way too nice that we've gotten this much time to learn how to walk around, unless I missed out on something big over in Ponyville. I figure we should start planning for something pretty big.

Comments

[unrecovered]

Thanks. Now we're fucked.

[eternalfrolicbond]

That's a really depressing way of looking at it.

[unrecovered]

Have you ever heard of asking for it?

[dork_of_keys]

The only thing that happened in Ponyville so far was a party and some lessons with pony magic. If anything else happened, I haven't heard about it.

What kind of plans do you have in mind?

[eternalfrolicbond]

Well, we can figure that we'll end up in a big fight sooner or later and people talked about getting organized with it before. Practicing how to fight together might be a good thing.

[dork_of_keys]

Yeah, that would be a good idea. It might be a good idea to practice fighting as ponies, too. The big stuff pretty much always happens on the latest world and that's Ponyville right now.

[defrostedpride]

Sometimes I almost forget that you exist solely to ensure that everything you come anywhere near ends in disaster, and then you say things like this.

[Translated from the Even, that means he thinks Lea is probably right and also tempting fate.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

I missed you, too. Any guesses about what's coming?

[defrostedpride]

Our horrible deaths. Again. [It's the safe bet, okay.]

[seasaltkeys]

Can't we just be glad there aren't any dreams right now?

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Lea rubs the back of his head sheepishly.]

I guess that'd probably be the better way to deal with it, but I just want to be ready for whatever's coming. We've been doing okay fighting the bigger nightmares, but training would help, right?

[seasaltkeys]

I just figure that now something's definitely going to happen.

And I think everyone's been training. That's about all you can do here, really.

[Someone might be a bit bored. And having trouble trying to build a half pipe for skateboarding.]

[skysmirror]

But what would we plan for?

[Xion's up for being ready for the worst, but preparing is a little difficult here.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

We can't fight the dreams, but we can train up to face the big nightmares so we aren't all tripping over each other. That means meeting up to practice, though.

[skysmirror]

It would be a good idea--we could all meet at the sandlot.

[It's an open place that will fit a lot of people. Not many other places in the world would be as good for a group training session.]

[spaceracist]

You say that like I ain't always plannin' for something big.

[Really, he's more worried about how his fighting style doesn't translate so well into the four-legged style. But that's what training in Ponyville eight hours a day is for, right?]

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Lea grins.]

We can hope that we won't end up fighting another big nightmare while we still have hooves. No offense to the people who always do, but the rest of us aren't used to it.

[spaceracist]

[He snorts loudly to show how likely he thinks that is.]

It's either get used to hooves pretty damn fast or hope the Dream Eaters got some extra tricks up their sleeves.

'Course, could be that pony-land is so nice and happy that Nightmares don't live there, but I got a feeling that ain't the case.

[statisticallyterrible]

ideas?

[She's not disagreeing, but it's not like they've got clues.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

Right now I figure all we can do is prep for the big fight that's probably cming up.

[statisticallyterrible]

pony battle prep

[Pattern indicates that's where it'll happen, after all]

[guerriera]

[ Congratulations, Lea. You've become the latest in a long line of Captains Obvious - with the added bonus of making her mood sour at the thought of sleep loss incoming. Well. Done. ]

Seems about as long as last time. And no one's encountered any invisible beings intent on flattening visitors.

Unless you're sitting on information the rest of us could be using right now.

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Lea shrugs.]

Nah, there's just nothing to do, and I can't nap all the time.

[earthshatter]

I haven't seen anything particularly out of the ordinary,there.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Thanks for the update. I know I'm probably asking for trouble, but someone had to point it out.
