Muse is not doing well with That Which No Mortal Mind Should Know.

[friendship_reporter]

Dear Mundane,

I appreciate your effort in trying to keep me from exposing the biggest flaws in the world you have placed me in. I had not asked for the knowledge I now have, and it is incredibly difficult to keep from letting the secret loose.

You know how I am with secrets.

But this knowledge is something that is not only world-ending, but that no sane pony would want to believe. I know it is true only because of the undeniable proof I have gathered, and even I cannot fathom what things would be like if everybody knew.

I think Applejack has her suspicions already; she's always been a lot smarter than she lets on.

But I don't know how much longer I can manage keeping this in. Please, mun, there has to be some way for me to... unlearn what I have learned. For things to go back to normal. I just want to be happy, with my friends, again. Please, look for a way, for me?

Your faithful, but suffering muse,
Twilight Sparkle

[She can sympathize with wanting to unlearn stuff, but...]

It's the same stuff your world is made of back home, y'know.

[friendship_reporter]

I can't confirm that, but even if it is...

The fact of the matter stands that I am not me, and you are not you.

[ininclntntwrds]

The problem isn't with you not being able to keep a secret; It's the problem with the way Ink City's been set up. I still can't believe they have a physical fourth wall there.

[friendship_reporter]

All cages do.

[thejuneskid]

Take a Yasogami High final.

Trust me. You'll forget everything and never want to learn again.

[friendship_reporter]

...Somehow, I doubt that. I study for fun.

[magicalrealist]

More rough times in Ink City?

[friendship_reporter]

...You could say that. It's a little more complicated, though.

[elementofloyalty]

Jeez, Twilight, what's gotten into you?

[friendship_reporter]

...A lot. Having several of my friends - you included - show up then immediately disappear? That's part of it.

Don't worry, I know you wouldn't do something like that on purpose.

[shadowsfadeintolight]

A reset through the fountain could always take some of your memories with it.

[friendship_reporter]

Oh, great. That's just what I need.

A mercy killing.

[snowcloak]

Well, there's always booze, but that's a temporary solution at best.

[friendship_reporter]

...Plus it leads to trying to make waffles in a bounce house.

[kingofthetvworld]

Pfft, forgetting's easy! I do it all the time.

[friendship_reporter]

...Somehow I'm not entirely surprised.

[callmeyork]

... Sometimes you can't. There are things that stick and stay with you. But the best thing to do is to recognize it, accept it, and... power through. That's the unfortunate truth, Twilight.

[friendship_reporter]

Yeah.

My mun says I have to talk with your other muse in-game about this sometime soon.

[shine_on_armor]

How's Ink City, little sister? Is that Trevor guy still around to cause trouble?

[friendship_reporter]

Yep, he sure is. Though he causes less trouble than, y'know. The giant warmongering robots.

It's not a place I'd want any friends or family being dragged to, really. I mean, I'm really glad I have Pinkie Pie and Applejack here to keep me grounded, but... I wouldn't've wished them to be here. I just make due with what I've got.

[fruity_puppeteer]

Why cling to that pesky sanity, Twilight Sparkle? Why not just

Dash

It

All

Away~

[friendship_reporter]

Go away, Discord. After having to deal with Him? You aren't so intimidating any more.

[regularbird]

Heh. Uh... heard you wanted to talk with me about something.

It sucks. Believe me, I know. I've seen things here that I never would have seen at home. And experienced some of them [Bit of a shudder there...]

But hey, here I am, not freaking out or anything, so... really, I think the worst thing you can do in this situation is lose hope. Clichéd, right, but it's true.

[friendship_reporter]

Well, more in the city, but here works too.

How was the movie? [COUGH COUGH]

[herr_niemand]

Wold-ending knowledge? Secrets that drive you to the brink of knowledge?!

Oh joyous Caligula's teeth! Tellmetellmetellmetellme!

[friendship_reporter]

This thread has gotten dangerously meta.

I think you might need to go eat a ham sandwich.

[inu_yasha]

Everyone knows things they wish they didn't. Stop groaning about it and accept it.

[bunnyperspective]

With what your mun tells you already, I'm surprised you already haven't gone bonkers yet.

[friendship_reporter]

You're Fluttershy's pet bunny. Wearing clothes, smoking a cigarette, and talking.

I'm not entirely convinced I'm not bonkers, thank you.
