Poker Night At The Invenpony
Chapter 1: Prologue
Load Full StoryYou are in your apartment, you being a measly earth pony, you spend most of your time doing nothing, you don't own a big house, and because of equestria's living laws that were put into place a few years before you were born (about 30 years ago) you're not homeless. you humbly sit at home, without a cutie mark your life seem to have no meaning, one day, a friendly pink earth pony invites you for a match of poker, it's your birth day and they're missing a 5th. you play the game, you find a curtain level of charm in lying, especially since most ponies are extremely bad at it. Since they all have extreme facial expressions and lying seems to be really transparent with all of them. And you're really good at lying since your face is actually structured like a real horse, one of the reasons other equines weren't interested in your company, you're ugly as hell.
you win your first game by a land slide, not losing one notch and gaining notoriety around the land, ponies are starting to pay attention to you, and slowly you're becoming from an unknown rando, into a sensation, and from that other groups are starting to take notice...
a curtain underground group was formed a few moons prior, named The League Of Bros
they were a rather unknown bunch, all they do is play low stakes poker, sometimes go to mid, but that's all about to change with upcoming events. you find in your mailbox a large white envelope, it's 20 meters by 7.5 meters, so it's much larger than the mailbox, as you attempt to open it other ponies look at you trying to use your mouth to open such a big envelop, you get it open after fighting the glue for multiple minutes. You look inside and you find a 0.5MX0.125M note, you take it home and decide to read it. It states "Hello there Mr You, thou seems to think of thyself as clever but clearly he's mistaken. The newly pony poker champion is invited to the super secret poker clubhouse, don't tell anypony about it so we invite you to a night of unforgettable big stakes poker, this is confidential if you peep we might have to do something about it, or send somebody else to do it for us Eyoup " Signed:The League Of Bros
