Muse is VERY unhappy about plans for AU event in mayfield_rpg

[magicalrealist]

How...why would you even want to do that to me? Can't you do something nice for me for a change? Pinkie and Applejack are getting moderately happy AUs, so why can't I get one? This is cruel, even for you.

(She says this with a very displeased tone, but it's clear that the mere thought of it is enough to break her down.)

I...if you're going to put me through that, then I don't want to work with you anymore. I already have enough trouble with that town...why would you want to make it worse for me? Do you really despise me so?

Good heavens, Twilight. You sound positively frazzled, whatever is going on?

[magicalrealist]

It's...it's this event. Everypony's memories are getting glitchy and they're all ending up with altered pasts, settings, even futures. My mun is putting me through an alternate future where...

(Oh, this is really hard for her to say. Really hard.)

...where I messed up a time spell and send myself in a future where Chrysalis won. Because I wasn't there, no one saw through her disguise and Equestria was...

(She doesn't want to finish it, but the point should be clear enough.)

[gemerosity]

Oh... my.

[One of the times she's glad she didn't go further in magical studies. Finding gems rarely leads to rips in time-space]

I feel wretched enough about doubting you about that whole mess to begin with - just imagining those hideous changelings taking over everything... [Shudder]
It's not going to be permanent, I hope?

[magicalrealist]

(Gems are definitely a safer hobby. Diamond Dogs just get in the way once in a while.)

It's all supposed to be a fake and nonexistent alternate canon, but I won't be able to tell the difference in game.

It'll last four days from when we wake up on June 1st to waking up on June 5th. We'll still have our memories of it, so I'll have to prepare for mental scarring.

[dreamsonwings]

[Oh Twilight, she knows a bit about bad things happening due to muns. While she isn't in Mayfield, it still hurts.]

Sometimes they have a sick pleasure in hurting us.

[magicalrealist]

Schadenfreude is the agreed term to describe muse/mun relationships, I think. Still...it's just so much harder to cope with. I can't take much more of this...

[dreamsonwings]

Not all of them. Mun has lots of muses here but I seen to be the favorite that gets hurt a lot.

What are they trying to do to you there?

[magicalrealist]

They're messing with our memories and making us believe different events happened in our canons. Mine involves my older brother's wedding being completely ruined with the changeling queen disguised as the bride and unleashing her changeling army on Equestria once everypony has their guard down...and then a time spell where I step in on the aftermath.

[shine_on_armor]

What's wrong, little sis?

[magicalrealist]

(Right on time, Shining. Twilight's very flustered and needs some support.)

It's terrible, big brother; my mun is going to make me have an alternate timeline that involves me arriving at yours and Cadence's wedding long after the changelings won...

[shine_on_armor]

What?

That... that's horrible! Why?!

[magicalrealist]

It's because of the event at Mayfield. It's forcing everypony to go through an alternate timeline from tomorrow until some time next week.

Mine involves messing up that time spell and sending myself too far into the future...

[thepurpleway]

Ah, Miss Twilight...will you be alright? [She doesn't sound all that happy...]

[magicalrealist]

(Not happy at all.)

I don't know...the effects will be temporary, but the mental scarring won't be. I'm not sure how I'll react to all of this.

How about you, Gakupo? You're not being forced through some evil AU, are you?

[thepurpleway]

From what I've heard, we may have a fuzzy memory of everything after it's done.

Ah...ironically, I'm becoming evil. [He's unsure how to feel about that.]

[magicalrealist]

I'd prefer no memory at all, but things would be very different if we could actually get our way...

...well that's just peachy, isn't it? (Now she has to wonder just how many of her friends are going to become evil because of this...)

[highwarlock]

Oh, your Mun is an evil, sadistic bitch, too? I thought it was only me.

[ W o w, Magnus said a swear word. Don't hear that often. ]

[magicalrealist]

A lot more of them are like that than I thought. It's terrible; why would to have a muse just for the torturing them? Is that all they really care about? Our suffering?

[highwarlock]

They like seeing us suffer. We've just got to deal with it.

[atailoftwoworlds]

I think our muns are having way too much fun with this. [He really, really, really, really, REALLY hates his mun right now for one of the two AU options she is considering for him]

[magicalrealist]

I agree with you. This entire event is cruel; he gave some of his other characters happy alternates, so I know he's capable of it, but why not give us all happy alternates?

I'm guessing you're stuck with a terrible one, too?

[atailoftwoworlds]

Is there any way you can talk him out of it.

[Sigh] Well, mine's thought of two ideas. One of them isn't a lot of fun but the second one....ugh, damn it!

[wishesforacutiemark]

A-are ya all right, Twilight? What is your mun gonna do to ya?!

[magicalrealist]

(Oh man, can she really bring herself to tell Applebloom what exactly's being planned?

...probably best if she doesn't.)

Something very insulting and agonizing. Once again, he wants to put me through the ringer and watch me go through some sort of alternate personality swap because of ending up in the wrong future.

[wishesforacutiemark]

[Apple Bloom doesn't know what Twilight means by 'putting through the ringer', but...] A-a personality change? So ya mean ya won't be 'Twilight' anymore?!
