HOOVESWEEK 5

[Morning, Equestrians! It’s that time again, and the newsponies have a new, fresh stock of Equestria's most-read magazine!]




Queen Chrysalis is at last fallen! But in her place, a new changeling queen has claimed the throne. Is she really sincere about peace, or are we going to see another invasion from those beastly insects who have caused nothing but trouble since the royal wedding? And for that matter, can we trust the off-worlders who have been threatening Equestria since the beginning of Nightmare Night?

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE:

-A report that Pinkie Pie has created a monster! Our science editor discusses the birth of the creature called Princess Pumice and what it means for the idea of "life" itself.
-A look at the crazy fog which plagued Ponyville. Cloudsdale's weather czar has announced a possible connection between the fog and the disappearing clouds that have now been reported as far west as Appaloosa.
-A report on PONIES RISING FROM THE DEAD. What is that even about? Are they pony-phoenix hybrids? Also, one of the murdered is a murderer and living now on the Ponyville commune. Seems like a dangerous place.
-An opinion piece defending Discord and his crazy antics over the past few months, hinting that his motivation was...love?
-Another op-ed on the sudden influx of off-worlder dragons. Are they getting more dangerous? They certainly seem to be doing something! And why are they harassing kitties?
-A further report on the disappearance of needed rainclouds. The problem seems to be spreading to Baltimare and Hollow Shades now, with local authorities stumped.
-Proof positive of the steamy relationship between Iron Liz and Harvey Finevoice. A kiss and a proposal happened; is a wedding not far behind?
-A review of the best Hearth's Warming gifts from this year around Equestria, including crystalberry jam and the latest installment of Daring Do! Just watch out for that grinch of an 'evil overlord', lest he try and steal them from you!
-Travel and foaleign news (or is it?) is reporting the shocking existence of moon ponies. Not only this, but said mysterious off-world ponies have begun opening up trade and tourism channels through several countries, including Griffaltar and Great Bridle. We're here to give an exclusive review of what to do, what to see, and how anypony can now experience this new frontier through an affordable international intermediary!
-A retrospective of Manehatten's Winter Fashion Week. Included is a profile on the winner of this year's couture contest, 國辔 of Galloxia*, and pictures of the first-timer's out-of-this-world designs and even crazier shoes.

So come one, come all, and read HOOVESWEEK! Only 5 bits a copy - now and forever!

"People and ponies get enjoyment from it, if they're not being talked about. It's a sad part of modern life really," said Ako with a sigh. "As for being a legit media outlet, it kind of isn't. A gossip reel isn't much to go on, but at the same time, there's no other newspapers out there."

"Well, then, clearly, somepony needs to create a fair and balanced source of news to fight against this trickery!" Utsusemimaru was now waving that copy of Hoovesweek around to the point it looked like Pteragordon was about to take it away from him.

"You got that right. But someone with skill will need to do it," replied Ako. "There's the school paper but I dunno if we can match up."
thunderinghero: (Excited)

"But if the people know that your publication has the truth, then surely they will begin reading it instead! I do not know who could choose such blatant and hurtful falsehoods over the truth!" Poor Utchy. So idealistic.
tsunpony: (hey)

"Well then. Want to help me find some stories then?" inquired Ako. "For our school newspaper?"
thunderinghero: (Yay)

[personal profile] thunderinghero 2014-01-08 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes! I would be honored to assist with such a task!" Utsusemimaru gave her a cheerful grin. "And it would be a most welcome change of pace after everything that has happened!"

"Great! I'll let you know how it turns out, but I'll see about recruiting some help for it. The Foal Free Press I hear has quite the reputation," said Ako with a smirk.
thunderinghero: (Excited)

"Excellent! And I will still search for things to print! Something somewhere around here has to have better news!"

"Sounds good to me. Get back to me on the scrolls when you find something good, okay?"
