Hmmm, that is pretty interesting. I'd like to know more.

@Illiad Easle I uncovered some notes written about Cali's enemies, this was back in like late 2016. What do you think of this? Although you may not get the context. The creature comes from what is called a "third level" universe, on a plane aligned with other "avatars" like him. The actual City is a "first level,"(above a bunch of parallel universes) being "second level". Essentially, he's on a higher plane. The Snarl was twisted into existence by the creature to gain revenge. The only place it could truly be said to come from is the City itself. The Snarl's the way they are partially because of mental distortions and feedback loops, causing them to often misinterpret their own thoughts. They don't particularly like this state of affairs. They blamed another person's characters characters for their destruction, but eventually they got distracted and mistook mine (Cali and others) characters for the ones who did it. All they saw when they looked at my characters were things that shouldn't exist the way they did, and they mistakenly believed that my characters had killed them. The creature's influence was involved as well. The creature's the equivalent of a tired office worker, feeling responsible for things he really doesn't want to do that are tedious, but doing them anyway. He's frustrated, both with my characters' stubborn immobility and the various limits on his own power. He's paused time, parted unstoppable attacks, and created forms that can practically kill gods, and he's pissed that even that isn't enough. He knows that he probably shouldn't be doing these things, that he shouldn't be interacting with the City directly at all, but it's too late. So he's also quite nervous that he'll get caught doing things he shouldn't before he straightens everything out. It's a combination of disappointment, frustration, nerves, and anger with him. The creature's true name is a tightly guarded secret, but his alias is Sparks. He's also gone by other names, like Mercury, Ironblade, and Pastan, also the Huntsman. Sparks came to the City mostly because he got so angry he started interfering with events directly, starting with the time he accidentally merged himself with the Snarl. After this, he couldn't quite remove himself from the events of the City so he started interacting with it subtly, mostly because he's not really one to miss an opportunity. Theoretically, Sparks is capable of doing anything imaginable, but his own pride and respect for the rules usually limits him to using his creatures, which mostly remove and reorder things to his vision of what was supposed to happen. He can also transform the forms he uses into stickers, wall art, or other images to preserve or conceal them for later use. The Snarl, aside from being able to destroy and hold things using string magic, would also have theoretically been able to use simple spells with enough practice, though mostly things like creating enormous destructive explosions and uncontrolled mana streams. And the creature, it must suffice to say, is much smaller and much less intimidating than you would think.

@Samurai Equine She looked to him curiously. "The name is Sparkly Green and I may have solutions for your issues. Elect me as your leader, and everything will be fine." she said with a sly grin as those green eyes showed lots of knowledge within. "Two forks in a river diverged, and I have taken the path less taken." she stepped closer. "But which one will you choose? I have plenty of questions. What will happen when the 2 mayors come together? Is this one of those magical things where it makes it all happily ever after or what?" she seemed a bit unamused by that.

Why not allow the community hold a vote on decisions such as that? I feel like the community should be more involved with these decisions as it creates a better basis of communications between the community, and the staff?

It seems rather superficial to remove a badge system that has been in place for years and had become rather well known, even respected.

I have to disagree because, how will we tell who is banned and who is not? It's not humiliating or hurtful, it is a necessary labeling so the community knows who was banned. Otherwise, we are left in the dark and can only wonder.

@ExplosionMare The civilian did not speak back as if afraid of being disrespectful while Twilight and Smart Planner looked at each other. "Hmm, my speciality is architectural construction but I suppose I'm up to the task, definitely." Smart Planner spoke. She was not one for constructing booths or stations of this sort but she supposed that she and Twilight would be able to come up with a plan here. Afterglow stayed quiet and he and Moonlight made a motion for the majority of the guards here to return to their posts. "I believe that we can definitely do something like that. Should we get started on that right away? I'm not really sure what your plans are for the rest of the night." Twilight said, she had done a lot of work today and was a bit tired but she would be able to keep going if needed. Smart Planner smirked. "It'd be an honor working with you here, Twilight." she said and flapped her bat pony wings and walked over to Twilight. Afterglow looked to Nightmare Moon. "Empress, I suppose we are done with these citizens here? If we are, I'll have the guards escort them back outside and they can return to their daily business." Afterglow spoke obediently.

@Catpone Cerberus "Its okay, Frail Spark. I'm your friend, not your customer." she laughed slightly and playfully nudged Frail Spark but in doing so she risked falling over again. "Its probably best that you help me stand until I can stand on my own, thank you very much, my friend." she said and was a bit flattered by Frail Spark's eagerness to help her up. It felt strange having someone so kind and eager to help her up. Sparkly calmly looked to Frail Spark as she spoke. "Well that is fine by me, show me what you got there. You might have to feed me though because I don't really um, know how to eat as a pony." she grinned nervously. Sparkly wanted Frail Spark to put the food into her mouth, even though she might be able to do it on her own. She looked at Frail Spark more, seeing how soft she was. She resisted the urge to pet her, as she was the type to always like floofy or soft pillows or animals. But now she is with someone, who is also floofy and can treat her as a friend. A dream for Sparkly has basically come true.

@Samurai Equine The strange mare looked into his eyes with a strange look, and reflection within her Irises. She backed up slightly from him. "You need not bow before me," she spoke with a strange humbleness in her tone. "I have no idea where I am though. I travel this world. But tell me, where am I? What is this place?" she spoke, looking at the surroundings around them as she spoke with a surreal tone, it was strange.

@Jack Baker Maud takes quick note upon the presence of Raze’s spirit guardian. Her face didn’t express any bewilderment but considering what was going on it would be a lot to take in. She observed the healing of the loyalist and spoke ominously. “We may not have the materials we seek but we have one far more valuable. Knowledge. We will inform the others to what transpired here, this loyalist will be questioned.” Maud spoke in a slightly satisfied and vindicative manner.

@abrony-mouse @Illiad Easle @flurry Suri posed and awed in her glory before seeming to look to the fawn with curious eyes. "Fine. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's a draw. Hide and seek is dangerous, I don't want any of you running off and getting hurt. How about we come in my house, and warm up?" Suri suggested.

@Illiad Easle Trixie listened intently on what was spoken but Spiral once again would speak for her here. She listened thoughtfully at the words. Not only did she get revenge on those performer ponies, but now this one had an opening for a possible position of power. It was simply too good to pass up on. She smirked, "Of course, that sounds great! I thank you for your acceptance of my offer. It seems as though your understaffing problem here benefits the both of us. I'll swing by here tomorrow, ok?" Spiral said with a bit of a parting gesture. While a month was a long while to wait, and she would have to commit to a training with the head of security. She was happy, for once. She was happy, that this librarian would do something good for her. "Thank you..." she spoke as if she never heard someone speak so kind to her. @Jack Baker @Illiad Easle Maud would quickly move back and dig out one of the loyalists. She was only able to get to this one since it was close to the entrance. He/she had been banged up and was likely unconscious. Maud would drag them along and would run towards where they had entered. The mineral they are looking for was likely not in here, and plus they had far more pressing matters. The loyalist that Maud had with her was badly bruised, probably had a broken arm or a leg but they would make it. Maud knew she killed the spawn and those others. Deep down she felt a twisted sense of delight and vindication upon what she just did but yet her emotionless expression remained.

@Blitz Boom @Windy Breeze @Kujamih Cali's demeanor shifted. She seemed quite taken back of that, and possibly enraged. "Study me? I'd never submit to such a thing! Plus, you said it yourself that whatever I say can be dangerous to your world! And here you are, saying I could be studied...Wouldn't an inventor such as yourself realize that studying me would unlock far more worse possibilities? Understanding to shapeshift much like I can? And use that for questionable reasons? I am disappointed in you." she snapped. She moved away from Blitz and transformed back into her pony self. Without wings, her normal unicorn self was standing there with an enraged look. She called off her other conversations as her eyes seethed in pure and utter rage, but also disappointment with Molotov. She felt enraged, offended and almost hurt by what he had said. "Maybe I shouldn't have told you a thing, maybe I should go back to wherever hell I spawned myself out of! Ugh! Always ruins everything, other people..." she turned away with a disgusted shameful snarl. "I am not something to be studied, poked, prodded at or possibly experimented upon! And anyone who tries to do so will end up with a far worse fate than they could ever imagine!" Cali roared, a dark red electrical glow flowing out of her eyes with rage. She was very intimidating, probably especially to Blitz. As she spoke in rage, her voice took a far more synergetic stance and made it all the more intimidating. "Perhaps I should remove myself from the likes of all of you, all you remind me of is the rules and norms of the world!" she looked to Light. "And you, always acting like you can control other dimensions, no. No...I won't have this anymore. I am DONE! I made a mistake revealing all of that information to you all! A mistake I do not intend to make again!" she roared and flared her wings which seemed to be made out of some strange red translucent look. She was about to leave.

@Samurai Equine A strange mare in a cloak enters the town after observing the town from a distance. Her rather long, beautiful mane flows in the wind as she enters. Her amazing green eyes search, and look about the town as she walks into town observing those she comes across.

@Samurai Equine How about I surprise you and go ahead and post as one of them? Can I have her like walk into the town?

No, the world is not punishing you. The world is just affirming that you are a strong individual.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia stode closer to the door as she would look to Zeehva with a passing glance. "I don't need to shower. I have never gotten my body wet in well, a very long time. Perhaps years considering what I can do but I might as well 'get clean' if you will..." she'd smirk sly. Her horn glowed with a pink-ish glow as her body took the form of that of a flowing mist. The mist swirled and rose through the air. Almost as if doing stretches of its own before swirling around Zeehva's hooves in a vaguely snake ish shape. It was a cool, almost soothing manner of touch. A bit too cold though. Magnolia then re-assumed her form across her. She opened up the door and took a few steps out. She turned to Zeehva and would address her comments here. "Then if we can't find one, we'll make one ourselves. A cafe sounds great, I'd like to see what sort of food this place has. As well as drink. Hopefully something more exotic, so I can remember this night for a long long time." she did some slight stretches and took Zeehva's comments on stretches there as inspirations to stretch as she looked out the window there, seeing Luna's moon. "I was always one for the night, I would have welcomed Nightmare Moon. I know that's probably not a 'good' thing to say, but I truly love the night." she spoke more quietly there, so nobody would overhear. When Zeehva stepped forward, she'd follow her outside the hotel.

@ExplosionMare Afterglow took a more professional stance upon the glare. The guards and those in the room watched as the citizens were transformed. The first one retained his blue eyes but they became darker. This citizen became quite intimidating by the looks of him however he was already a strong build previously. It seemed that the ponies previous traits of the pony remained but were heightened as the spell was done. None of the citizens dared to speak or talk back to Nightmare Moon and silently obliged. Twilight watched what was happening with curious eyes amongst the other ponies. Inkwell would flap her wings and try to fly but she was too cautious to attempt flight, especially when around others. Inkwell was the most fluffy one of them all, however. Maybe it was the way the spell was done, who knows. Eventually all of the citizens were transformed. They checked out their forms curiously. One of them spoke up. "E-empress...h-how will you get all the ponies in equestria to become bat ponies?" she spoke up. "She raises a good point, hmm...what if we have some way to do the spell on ponies but without actually having to cast it?" Twilight suggested. "Well that makes me imagine some sort of booth, or doorway that ponies walk through and it converts them into batponies, but we'd need some way to design and build such a thing." Afterglow mused, pondering.
