Wow, today I figured out how to re-chain a chainsaw. Didn't think I'd ever have a reason to do that, but, yeah. Just thinking how nice it feels to have accomplished that.

Hello and welcome! Nice to have you around!

I have stood next to death, and people liked him better.

This tower, wrought by Hands Undying, Ripe with hidden Magicks. Its myriad ways cannot be walked Reaching this place, your worth proven, Those who trespass here in avarice Beyond vigil of the three houses stand The heights you've climbed, their glyphs, O're the temporal world holds sway, By those of the world below. Crawling through life on clay below. The tower's secrets are for you, Many are the works Know you it was Our King, pitying Born of chaos. Ignorant child, On sight must you rely, Wingless child, A world bereft of Order, surfeit with Strife, You who call the Vessel of Sky, From beasts of Tower's base Whose works are emphemera and folly. Never forget, it is not your power which Here and here alone to be found. Through ways then known, move unhindered. No paths herein will you find. And whence you come. This tower, wrought by Hands Undying, You alone binding magicks stir. You who reach this final sphere, All that lived and ever shall, So has it been, and so shall it be, These shall be your guide. At mercy of the currents of this fading world. Seduced by false illusion, And you alone. Claim them. Heaven-bound path. The path for you all shall open. Whose natures a duality possess. On your own selves must you rely, The tower's secrets are for them, And them alone. You who reach this final sphere, You who master Power, Wisdom, Mist... Fed of stores from harvests pasts. To Heaven's last height you now ascend. Blind whither you go Who would climb higher still, To seal of night look first. Ignorant child, Heaven-bound path. Lo, seeker of Heaven's path. In Vessel of Sky now make your way. They who master Power, Wisdom, Mist... But Our King's own Providence. It is the Fool who cuts not his own path, Failing twice, punishment you will face. When stone-face lit by red flame falls, Ignorant Child, Setting out, hearts of darkness Through these great gulfs of space. It is the Undying who straighten Threshold of Night and Watcher both. You whom worldly props are now denied, Chosen, know now the reason of your Choosing. Ignorant child, As befits those of our wisdom, ever-living. Skyward keep your course. But stone born of green flame to darkness fades. Through ways untrodden, pass but one. By Giruvegan's grace to prosper Rare souls who accost tower and sky, Untainted by glyph and color. Pilgrim impelled to Heaven's heights, Consigned to walk the world below. Then red flame turns to stone; the path is clear. Celestial glory ne'er to behold. To the Undying the final path belongs, Wrest the Orbs you seek, The path you must walk. Orbs of Tower's Magicks born, Shall light your way. This Vessel's ways now master to ascend. Now and forever. Who stamped true Seal on mortal wax. Will pay with tears The weave you tangle so, who choose Not easily this realm to pass. Pure brilliance unseen in distances traversed,

@Blitz Boom @AuroraGlimmer "My state? I was dizzy, so I lay down," she explained, "I'm not sure what more of my state you saw than I felt, but either way... I am grateful for your aid, just not for disregarding boundaries." "Another draconequus? How unusual!" Delilah says, "I wonder if Discord would be interested to know that he really isn't the only one?" "Uh... your impression is correct," Delilah says, a little uncomfortable, "It isn't common practice, but neither is there any law forbidding it. And it isn't an Equestrian tradition, but a Mythralian one, which is what my husband and two of my wives are. I still am not used to seeing them eat meat, though. But... we do love each other, and care for each other, so right now even while I worry for my foals I know they are in fine hooves and won't lack for love." "He does seem to have a good handle on that teleport magic of his," Delilah remarks, shifting her weight slightly on the dragon's shoulder, "Um... No one called you an idiot, nor even implied such a thing, so I'm entirely sure from where you are taking offense. Is curiosity such a nuisance to you?" After another moment has passed from the time she finished her last sentence she suddenly begins to gag and retch. "Oh.. oh no," she gets out before, "P-Put me down! Quickly! Please!"

I dunno, I see two characters that appear to be compatible, and thinking about how happy they would likely be with each other and in what way they complete each other, and I get romantic about it. For instance, my favorite ship is FlutterJack, and that is because Fluttershy's gentle nature is such a nice fit for the usually blunt and rough'n'tumble Applejack. It's like in the moments where Applejack is being too harsh, or too honest, Fluttershy might balance that out and this gives Fluttershy a rather firm shoulder to lean on, though she isn't weak by any means, but, there's so much about the potential dynamic there and how they would meet each other's needs and wants. But, by the same token, I can see how Dash and Applejack make a good match as well. They're competitive, they keep each other driven to do better and be better, so this would serve Dash well in her career as a Wonderbolt, and it keeps Applejack in great shape for her life as a farmer, and then they can be supportive of each other. While I have trouble picturing the two of them having a romantic time, or being vulnerable with each other very easily, I do think it would get there and I appreciate how that might work and how worth it it might feel to the both of them for having gone through the effort to get there. There's a lot of thought that goes into it, but mostly it's just that I enjoy thinking of the chemistry between characters and why they might make a good fit.

Or any of the actual practical reactions that sound like actual reactions. I can't figure a use for any of these new ones.

I haven't had a drink since October 4th, 2012. No plans on resuming. Haven't done drugs in even longer. Glad to be rid of that stuff.

Honestly, I would move back into that house for free. No one has to pay me for that one.

@AuroraGlimmer "Yes," Delilah answers with a nod, "I'm the head of my herd, which has four mares and our stallion."

When I was 6, at least. A simple 18" Cathode Ray Tube, but it wasn't cable ready, it needed the forked adapter for that. I didn't have a VCR, and never mind DVD since that wasn't a thing yet, that was in the den on the 27" TV. I did have a cable box though, but Cartoon Network was not yet born at that time, so Nickelodeon and Nick-at-Night for me. Was a time when I couldn't sleep without the glow of the TV there, now it's the reverse.

Applejack singing Life is a Highway It's great, I love it.

What is this evil thing?

Oh noes, they don't look happy
