a choose your own adventure path... · 10:27pm Aug 2nd, 2017
Otherwise known as I have three versions the next chapter and I don't really know which to go with. So I am gonna ask you my readers who actually read my blog posts which is like five of you but still. what follows is four options of which will be under spoilers for those who don't want to participate in the polling and don't want the future revealed to them...so with out more rambling here they are...wait one more thing to add that is spoilers and effects all of the following the energy drink is not just lots of sugar and caffiene but a bit psychadellic
1) Lilac and Belle spend the day or until the energy drink wears off playing live action D&D with the school yard.
2) Lilac being her anxious nervous self and being a guilt riden angst fest decides now that she has power to do so to try to fix Belle's leg situation. It doesn't go as planned.
3) Lilac feeling the rush of the energy drink and fearing what she will do with that much energy preventing her from thinking right. She decides that running away from town where she can't hurt anypony and she can let off magical steam. Being Lilac and not thinking right she ends up at the Meadow (aka Luna's meadow) and doesn't have the power to make a return trip. Only one problem she brought Midnight with her.
4) Other, specify in the comments below
These options are not nesicarily mutally esclusive. aka if you want to see more than one say so and while one will happen in chapter 20 the other popular choices will happen in a following chapter soon enough.
I’m personally leaning partially towards 3 and 2.

I think i am leaning towards 3 but it is really close and honestly none of them are really fitting right. But I will make what ever works. besides I need to work on some world building stuff. Like I have a few ideas of what is gonna happen soon with the merger but I feel like I haven't world built enough yet.
how about taking 1) & merging it a bit with 3). Where they end up playing a D&D game which results in them ending up at Luna's Meadow.

Luna's meadow is about 1200 miles away from Ponyville. It is in Lilac's teleportation range but it takes a lot for her to get there and it is a one way trip as the place is really really easy to teleport to. So much so that it takes over half her reserves to teleport to it with just her and Midnight. So a group of more than two ponies isn't gonna make it there without Luna or Twilight's help. I guess Cadence could help but she is currently busy with the Crystal Empire for reasons that will be revealed soon. So options one and three don't mix as written. Also Lilac in option three is sort of self exiling so that she doesn't hurt somepony when she is out of her mind. WHich none of this means no to a mixing of 1 and 3 just a change in plans which at this point is sort of normal for this chapter as I have 400-2000 words in each of these...
I'm down for some D&D. At least the fate of the world won't rest on a children's card game.
In all seriousness, I like 1 and 3, but 2 kinda scares me. I wouldn't want to see Belle end up even worse than before. And speaking of Belle, I'm surprised no-one's made a Beauty and the Beast joke yet.
So three it is. Or at least some varriation on 3. I think I have a plan now.
None seem to totally fit but can't decide between 1 and 3, though I guess any of the three could be a hallucination during a massive system overload.... let me guess some of pinkie's mane got in the mix and that's the source of the phsychadellic effect?

The following is stuff that may not get revealed in the story but is what is happening and explains the drink a bit more.
The thing is made using a magical seed by itself the seed would be fine to eat and have little ill effect except for lots of caffiene (which isn't really an ill effect) but when mixed with the ingrediants that Pinkie used because it wasn't just pure cane sugar no it was corn syrup and agave syrup for sugars and not the most pure ones out there (healthy still but have some plant particles in them) and the magic in the seed reacted to make a psychadellic/halluinegen effect that barely effects Pinkie because she is a full grown earth pony and because she is Pinkie. Lilac on the other hand took a really big dose for her size and her earth pony magic is still growing in her which means that she has none of the resistances that Pinkie does to the drink. Yeah the next chapter has some interesting things for her to see. it starts off benign and grows more so.

Nice! Looking forward to reading it. I'll be sure to be on the lookout so I can download the chapter when it is out during the moments I have cell and internet access over the next month.
I really hope any comments are/were useful, I'm always really cautious commenting on these type posts since I know or usually assume the author has a plan in mind and things I'm not aware of.
