"Oh my Luna! It works! It actually works! *hooves clopping* ooh, I wonder if it can keep up with complex sentences... This is the most splendiferous achievement in my post adolescent sentience. Polly pelican pushed pounds of polished pendants piled in pretty push-carts. Ha ha haa! It really works! This is going to change the world!...Think about all the ponies who don’t have to meticulously write down every detail of their lives anymore. Journalist can do interviews without having to stop the conversation mid-way to write. Sore lips will be a thing of the past. Do you know how great this is!?... Oh yeah, you’re just a floating book and quill. Anyway, first things first. Voice recognition activate. My name is Entrinity. Did you get that?... awesome! Custom ink color activate. Um… blue. Got it? Awesome! One last thing. I need to put you in a few charm gems for non-unicorn use, and why am I calling you a you? Whatever. I’m going to turn you- I mean the spell off now. Sign off."

9:55 am, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment 179

"Alright. So I filled six charm gems with the spell. That should be enough to give away to my friends and to give some to the Canterlot School for Gifted Unicorns. Perfect. Now I’m just going to take a shower and wait for my friend to get here. Heh, her name’s Lily Valley. She’s this cute pink earth pony from Ponyville. She’s got these amazing honeycomb yellow eyes and luscious blonde hair. Yeah, if you haven’t guessed I’ve got a crush on her... Y’know, you’re nice to talk to. Sign off."

3:32 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment 179

*sound activated* *buzzing* "The door’s open!..." *door opening and closing* Hey Lily!" *clopping*

"Hey Entrinity."

"I’m so glad you could make it! I’ve got something to show you."

"Me too, about the glad to make it thing. I have to deliver some flowers to a client in town so I was delighted to stop by. So uh, what’s this you wanted to show me?"

"Oh yeah. Check this out!"*clopping* "I invented a new spell. I know it’s not really complicated or anything special but it should help a lot of ponies. It’s a voice activated quill and book. It writes whatever it hears, even sounds. I made it so that it can distinguish different voices. It also knows its own location."

"Entrinity. That’s amazing! Look, it’s even writing this down. And this. That’s so cool!"

"You like it?"

"I like it."

"That’s great... Um, here, I, uh, made you a charm gem so you know, you can use it too. Oh, but first let me sync your voice to my spell."

"Sync my voice?"

"Yeah, you just say hello and your name… voice recognition activate."

"Um, hi, I’m Lily Valley… How do I know if it understood me?" *whispering* "oh! I can choose and ink color? Okay, custom ink color activate. Pink ink please. Did it g- wow it did! So it can just change color like that? Entrinity you’re a genius."

"Hehe, I try."

"Try you do-oh shoot! Is that clock right? It is!? Oh no, I’m going to be late." *clopping**door opening*

"Late for what? I thou-"

"My client wanted me to deliver his flowers to him on the beach at four so that he could propose to his special somepony."

"Aww, that’s nice."

"Not if I’m late. Bye!"

"Bye." *door closing* "sign off."

*sound activated* *running water* *humming* *cutting*…" what? Oh my Luna, you even picked up on me making a salad. You missed a few sounds though, but that’s okay. Sign off."

8:12 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment 179

*sound activated* "Trinity! Trinity, open the door! Please open the door! I’m scared!"

"Lily? I’m coming, hold o- you, sign off"

*sound activated* *door slamming* "Whoa, Lily, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?"

*hyperventilating*"T-there’s something in the water! A-a monster."

"What do you mean a monster?"

"A monster Entrinity! I was swimming in the water when I heard a loud roar. It-it kind of sounded like a whale but-"

"Maybe you heard a whale Lily."

"No! I’m not joking. It wasn’t a whale it was different from a whale. More g-guttural" *heavy breathing*

"You do know that you and your friends are the most overdramatic mares in Equestria?"

"I-I’m not being overdramatic. I heard it. Can’t you see I’m scared!?" *sobbing*

"D… don’t cry. Alright, I believe you. Come here… it’s okay. It’s okay. Go lay down on my bed and I’ll, uh, make you some tea okay?"

"O-okay." *clopping* *squeaking*

"Hey, didn’t I turn you off? Sign off."

8:16 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment179

*sound activated* *loud whistle* *running water* "Ow! That’s hot… Lily, you doing okay?"

"Yeah."

"Alright. I got your tea right here, I’m coming." *clopping* "Here you go, careful, it’s hot... like it?" *slurping*

"It’s good…. Um, Entrinity?"

"Yeah?"

"You were in the royal guard, right?" *slurping*

"Yeah. Wh-"

"What were you in the royal guard?"

"I was a combat spear specialist." *slurping*

"You know how to fight?"

"Yeees."

"So you’ll protect me right?"

"Still scared about what you heard at the beach?" *squeaking*

*slurping* "Yeah."

"Well then don’t worry. I promise that if some monster comes out of that water, I will never let it harm a single hair on you… do you trust me?"

"I… trust you." *slurping*

"Good. And hey, if you are really that scared, I’ll go talk to somepony at the lifeguard station tomorrow about the sound you heard and you can get on your ferry and on your way home. Everything will be just fine."

"Really?"

"Of course. You’re in Manehattan. What could go wrong?"

*slurping* "Okay. T-thanks Entrinity."

"You’re welcome Lily."*clinking* *snoring*

"Sweet dreams Lily Valley."

9:00 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment 179

*sound activated* *loud whine* *grinding* *screaming* "Ahhh!" "Run!" "Monster!"

*gasping* "What was that!? Trinity wake up! Wake up!"

*gasp* "Huh! What, what’s wrong! What!"

"Ponies are screaming outside."

*squeaking* "Screaming?... Stay here, I’ll be right back." *yawning* "It’s probably just a party or-"

*Shattering glass* *thud* *sliding* "Ahhhh! OH MY CELESTIA! Oh my sweet celestia!"

"Oh. My. Luna."

"He’s dead! Something threw him through the window!"

"I can see th-"

"How many stories up are we?!"

"Seventeenth floor. M-my apartment is on the seventeenth floor."

*hyperventilating* *crying* "What!? S-s-seventeenth! Oh my, oh my, oh my-" *clopping*

"Lily, calm down!"

"What threw him!?"

"Lily! Calm down!"

"It’s that monster I heard! I knew it! We’re going to die!"

"Lily Valley! Stop pacing, stop yelling, stop saying we’re going to die!" *heavy breathing*

"O-okay, o-okay, o-okay….. I’m calm. Now what?"

"Now, let’s see what’s going on outside. We’re going to look out the window, see what can be seen and then worry about what to do afterwards… okay?"

"Okay." *clopping* *crunching glass* *gasp* *screaming* *loud roar*

"Where is it? I don’t see it?"

"I don’t see it either, but it completely destroyed the street. Look at those crushed carts. Oh my Luna, it must be massive, bigger than an ursa major." *loud roar* *whale whine* "Whoa… check that out."

"Those poor ponies." *crunching glass*

"Alright. So outside is in shambles. I don’t know what happened but something is roaring on the other side of the buildings in front of my apartment. I th-"

"What are you doing?! You’re talking to a book while there’s some creature rampant outside!?"

"I'm keeping a record on what’s going on so that ponies can read it later. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, It sounds like the monster is on the other side of the buildings. Carts in the street below are totally crushed. There are, uh, a few dead ponies in the street as well as an orange stallion in my bedroom. The monster must have thrown him through my window... hmm." *clopping* *door opening*

"Where are you going? You can’t leave me!"

"I’m not leaving you, you’re coming with me."

"Out there!? Where that thing is!?"

"Lily. We need to get out of here. The walk to the docks is only five minutes. We’ll catch a ferry and wait until this blows over."

"It’ll kill us!"

"It’s on the other side of those buildings. It looks like it’s moved on. Come on Lily. It’s just five minutes."

"They teach you to put yourself in danger in the royal guard, hmm?" *clopping*

"No. They taught me you either move or die now let’s go."

"You promise I’ll be safe? I mean really promise."

"I promise. Now please, let’s go before it comes back."

*sigh* "Coming." *door closing*

*clopping* *ding* "You sure we should use the elevator?"

"Yeah. The power is still on and aside from a few scratches the building seems fine. All aboard."

"Fine."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that thing. Better turn it off. Sign off."

9:26 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, apartment lobby.

*trotting* "Awesome. It’s back on Lily. Say hi."

"Hi."

"So we survived the elevator ride down here. Somepony was scared it would break down or fall. Anyway, we’re trotting through the lobby right now. The glass door in the front is shattered and there’s newspapers everywhere. A few of the other residents are in here too." *crunching glass*

"Now we’re on the street. There’s a lot of rubble everywhere as well as glass, wood, and cracked concrete. It looks like a warzone… Lily are you doing okay?"

*trotting* "Yeah, I-I’m fine. Just a little nervous. Um… the suns down now. Almost all the streetlights are knocked over and smashed but the lights are still on in the buildings around. We’re not alone out here either. There’s a bunch of ponies walking in the street as well. It seems we’re all kind of clueless on what’s going on. I can’t see any foals though… Entrinity is that it?"

"Yeah those are the docks off in the distance." *paper crunching*

"Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh my Luna no! All the ferries! They’re all already sailing."

"W...w-what do we do now?"

"Ahg. I…I don’t know... Let’s just-"*loud roar* *screaming* *water crashing* *electricity shorting out* *wood breaking* *splashes* "Help! Help!" *loud roar*

"Oh Luna! Lily, turn around! Run! Let’s go, run!" *loud clopping* "Run!" *screaming* *ragged breathing* *multiple hooffalls.*

"The apartment?"

"No! Just keep running! We’ll stop at the-"

"Sweet Celestial it’s coming this way!"

*screaming* *thud* "Honey get up!"

"Trinity! Stop! She’s hurt!" *skidding hooves*

"Mare, you get her right side I’ll get her left." *loud footfalls* *concrete breaking*

"It’s coming this way! I’ll get her, you two go!" *loud roar*

"That’s my-" "GO!" *scrabbling hooves* *grunting* *loud trotting*

*loud footfalls* "I got her!"

"BEHIND YOU!" *screaming* *bones crushing*

"Oh my Celestia! Oh my Celestia!" *loud roar* *multiple hooffalls* *ragged breathing*

"Oh my Celestia."

9:28 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, Haylem street

*heavy breathing* *clopping* *skidding* "Oh trinity, I thought you'd died."

"You thought I died?"

"Well yeah! Of course I did! That thing's foot came down in front of you and, and we heard screaming and crushing and I thought that was you."

"Thanks. I'm glad you cared Lily." *shuffling*

"No. Thank you! You saved my special somepony! I owe you my life for that." *shuffling*

"I just did what I hope anypony would do."

*shuffling* *background voices* "Okay. Since Entrinity just nearly died, I'm starting to see the use in you. I at least want to leave something behind if...you know, I die. So I'll do the catch up part while they talk. So we were just walking toward the docks and halfway there we could already see that all the ferries had left. It made me scared that we were stranded here for longer until that...thing! It came out the water and smashed one of the ferries in half." *page turning* "Yeah, you were able to pick up on that. I didn't have much time to really get a good look at everything before Entrinity told me to run." *shuffling*

"You saying what just happened?"

"Yeah."

"Oh okay. Yeah, it was pretty scary. I-I've never seen anything like it before. It's at least thirty stories tall. It's got these long arms that bend in the wrong places. I couldn't see much more of the thing before it all got really crazy. The worst part about it was that the bone crushing noise you heard-"/color]

"Yeah?"

"That noise was another pony. A stallion just in front me, flattened like a pancake...That monster was able to get from one end of the street to the other in little over twenty seconds. The thing is still storming around above us- oh yeah! We took shelter in a construction dig site on the side of the street. It's not very deep and there's no roof but it's better than nothing......Hmm?" *whispering*"Oh! sorry, didn't mean to- alright here."

"What are you two talking into over there?"

"Entrinity go explain." *shuffling* *background voices* " Okay so now that I can talk again, Entrinity probably thinks this is really cool and that his near death experience was the best of thrills. But when he vanished behind that thing's foot, I-I, my heart s-stopped. I was sooo scared." *sniffling* "I thought my friend h-had died......I'm not like Trinity. I wasn't trained to stay calm in these situations....I don't ever want to have to go through that again." *Sniffle* "Oh shoot, he's coming back. Sign off! sign off!"

9:35 pm, Manehattan, Equestria, Haylem street

"What'd you turn it off for?...are you crying?"

"No! Some dirt got in my eyes when we were running. I tried to get it out."

"Oh, alright. Well these two said that since they're going to stay with us they might as well sync their voice as well."

"Okay." *shuffling* *grunting*

"Okie dokie so do we just-"

"Just say your name, what you look like, and what color ink your voice should appear as...Voice recognition activate."

"O.K. My name is Neon News. I, uh, have a light green mane and tail, and a brown coat. Green ink.Is that it?"

"That's it. You're turn, I'll move it closer to you...Voice recognition activate."

"Hello. I am Amber Tide. I work as a lifeguard, how ironic. Hehe, I've got a amber gold coat with a dark gold mane and tail with a red highlight going through both. Ink color...I'll actually go with red.Might as well have lifeguard red."

"Might as well."

"So...now that that's done. Are we just gonna stay here?"

"Well, Amber can't move yet."

"I think I dislocated my fetlock."

"Oh, I can fix that. It's going to hurt but it's going to help...Put your hoof out." *shuffling*

"W-what? I think I can just-"

"No. Walking on it will just make it worse. I'll count down from three okay?"

"Honey, let him do it."

"I don't want-"

"One."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Two."

"No! No! I can't do-"

"Honey! It's okay."

"Three."

*loud inhale*"Y...you didn't do it?"

"You told me not to do it so I didn't do it." *loud pop*

"Ah! You bucker!"

*chuckling*"Hehe...does it still hurt."

"N-no."

"Good. Now, hop up. We need to get to the train station."

"Right." *grunting*

"Don't put too much weight on it. We'll lift you up." *multiple grunts* "Are you up?...What do you see?"

"Nothing. No ponies, no monster, just destruction."

"Alright. That's good. We're coming up." *grunting* *shifting dirt* *clopping*

"Alright. Train station."

"Won't the train station be packed?"

"It's better than being here."

"Agreed." *clopping*

"Hnng...I'm getting a headache...sign off, sign o-"
