“Okok! Now you choose a character!” Luna said enthusiastically.
“Oh my, is that one Lyra?”
“Yeah, she’s a default character if you decide to be an unicorn, she can rest anywhere she can sits on!, I’m not a genius!?”
“Why do you real ponies in your videogames?”
“Everypony loves to see themselves or friends into any media, when they found out this games they’re gonna love them”
“Very well, let’s see… Ditzy is a pegasus choice, any special ability flying if a chose her?”
“Oh, no, she’s there for her eyes template, you know, she’s very popular thanks to her cute expression”
“What about Octavia, -Improvement in musical skills-. Is musical skill very important ahead?”
“Well, not really, is just that besides quest, and fighting, you can choose a job to help you to earn bits faster, like cooking, or creating clothing, which can help you later, music improves healing rate”
“Well you should add that info into the descriptions”.
“You can create a whole new character of your own too if you choose –Create-“
“Any Alicorn Character?”
“Of course no… (You’re the final boss)” Luna whispered between her teeth the last part.
“I’m the final boss? What does that meant?”
“Oh, no, nothing, I’m a final boss too, I mean, if the gamer plays as an evil character, you can make a lot of choices between be evil or bad, honorable or greedy, and I’m the final boss of the evil side of the story”
“So, I’m the final boss of the good character’s story? Well, I’m sure the plot if full of twists and surprises”
“(Your plot should be full of… )”
“What is it?”
“Oh, no, nothing… (you big… )”
“Ok, I finished my character, now what?”
“Oh! She looks so like Spitfire! You like Spitfire!!”
“Well, yes, I do like Miss Spitfire coat and mane” Celestia said blushing and smiling slightly, but without hesitation.
“U even named her Sunfire!!! Haahaaahaaa!!”
“You know, actually I think maybe you should add some more templates… ponies are surely going to love them”.
“Oh my, a dragon!” Celestia said surprised a bit and swinging her controller held by magic right and left with some bumps between changes and nodding like if moving her neck were doing her character move faster.
“No, No! Run!! You cannot fight a dragon… I mean, you sure can, but you’re not you there”
“Run where!?”
“Inside that tower. No, the tower, that’s a house. Yeah that tower. The entrance is in the other side!”
“The dragon is in the other side!”
“Don’t worry, just run to for the door”
Celestia Trotted to the other side of the tower, but as soon she stopped in the corner to go inside the dragon ate he character.
“I think one hundred hour is a little too much for a game in which the first aggressive creature you find, eats you.”
“No, don’t worry, you don’t need to re-create your character, you’ll… revive, shortly before”
“Oh, really? Well, what’s the point in being eaten then?”
-Because it was freaking amusing for me- Luna thought to herself.
“Yeah, you’re right, maybe I’ll drop the aggressively of the dragon later, now just turn back, and run”
“Ho. It was here all the time”
“You lost that easy track trying to fight the dragon. Now take the stairs up?”
“Up? They don’t have downside way”
“Take them up, hurry!”
After Sunfire take the stairs up inside the game, the dragon crush a wall inside the tower just before climb all the way up, just in level to reach Sunfire with his mouth and ate her.
Luna was trying to contain her laughter with a hoof in her muzzle, Celestia turns to her to pick just a gaze.
“Oh, well, never mind, I did this intro long ago, maybe you should exit for the entrance in the first floor to the other side of the tower next time”
“A door? Where?”
“Right there, in front of you, at the left of that corner”
“Everything is so grey, I enjoyed much more the look of -Spike Sunshine 64-“
“Spike sunshine 64? But that was of the first ones, and for fillies, in this game you have long distance views of forests, snowy mountains with the world below, Cloudsdale city brimmed with pegasi acting like real pegasi do, moral decisions, and… ”
“Well, I liked more Spike sunshine 64; here everything looks so… grey” Celestia cut off Luna’s features.
Letting out a sigh Luna rested over her hooves with resignation mumbling something that not even Celestia’s fine hearing could hear.
And then so, Celestia enjoyed that afternoon playing Luna’s game. She was thrilled at the moment when Twilight sparkle gave her access to the mages guild, after work in sweet apple acres in the bucker’s guild, extracting from some ponies extraordinary beautiful jewels for rarity to surprise them later with the present of a wonderful dress in the Surprise Gifters guild, pinkie recommending you to throw a surprise party on her behalf for some incautious ponies, and a lot more of mission with the Cutie Mark Crusaders to help them to find her cutie marks, Helping Derpy with her deliveries, play music in Canterlot with Octavia or mix tunes with Vinyl, sporadically completing some achievement finding the weirdest places where Lyra could sit, and occasionally saving Equestria from any old and forgotten evil.
The game was a success, Everypony waited for it even before it was even released thanks to Luna’s idea of a magazine where she could announce her future projects, talk of past games in some kind of director’s comments, and even reveal some Easters eggs hidden for her own enjoinment, of course it was sold, and you needed a special floor mat controller if you weren’t an unicorn, but these were bits well spent considering the new age of a newborn media; Videogames. Conceived by Princess Luna’s mind after her boredom years on the moon
Elders Scroll Equestria was a record of sales. Someponies liked its amazing graphics, every new project of princess Luna seemed to improve graphically, probably because of practice “drawing” worlds and characters within the games. Or the intricate main storyline were you had to send a letter to one of the princesses, but you needed a special scroll to write it, and the help (you could oblige him too, depending in your moral choices) of an elder dragon.
Bad things started when an anonymous group of ponies calling themselves by the pseudonym “Bananas” started retro-enchanting Princess Luna games, discovering the same exact spell she used to create them, and changing things inside the games, like a mod that changed the nature of rarity missions into thievery or assassination, Sweet Apple Acres story ark changed to a mob gang war, with missions where you have to intimidate some other ponies selling things like pears. Burning down business that refused to buy apples to add into their products, and eliminate or bribe royal guards aware of what the farm was doing, and a selection of moral decisions related to the thrust toward the family honor between apples, and your personal goals has a traitor to become boss of the mafia.
Some ponies thought it as a joke, and of course didn’t give a buck about it, but the worst was a distinguished mod apparently high successful even with ponies that didn’t mod their game before, and even if no one admitted that they played it, or even knew it, it was something about a whole new area in Canterlot, with a tower where Luna herself, playing a nightly sex goddess role, rapes you, taking you as her dark apprentice, taught you spells concerning to stealth and speech skills, and gave you missions to bang some other ponies around Equestria.
The end (by now)
What did I just write? Hell, I’m feeling writers regret.
The last part was taken from The Dark Apprentice by Come Hither (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/41192/The-Dark-Apprentice)
The idea was take the 4 basic guild form Elder Scroll, make them something nice with ponies, and then make them something a little darker, and alike to the real game and patches:
Fighters - Buck some apples, sell some apples (apple mafia)
Mages - Twilight makes you do all the work that the princess gave her first (betray the crown)
Thieves - Rarity asks you to take some jewels to give them back within a dress (sneak and rob)
Assassins - Something like pinkie pie ask you to throw surprise parties (anyone knows cupcakes?)
Things like the graphic improvement patch or nude patch were considerate ideas but didn’t make it. They sound off within the story.
This Bananas characters are just considered a group, cuz who else, if not a group of unicorns, have enough magic to mess with a princess enchantment? They aren’t gonna be messing with each game around (probably), But “they” are related to game cheating, hacking and such.
Luna’s magazine didn’t have a name yet, maybe something like “LUNA’SHAUNTEDTHINGPOWER!!” I’ll actually wait for a better pun for that one. It’s a parody about how cryptic old NES games where, they actually made you NEED the magazine for you to know what the game was about, doing in game missions, that didn’t explain themselves, and apparently pointless items too, they didn’t explain you anything in the game, it all was in the magazine and didn’t make sense! Anyway, before I start clutching in the floor with traumas about Vietnam. Maybe I’ll add some character running the magazine, Derpy or Bonbon, or somepony like that, leave me a suggestion.
