Scroll 8: There should be a mileage program for world hoppers [visual]

[needsteaplz]

[Well thankfully, Saori's looking much better now that both Father's Day and her birthday passed. Amongst the crazy things that happened lately, she's found some time to relax. She's at home in the Commune and Mana, her cat, watches over her shoulder.]

So I was wondering about something. I know there are a few of us, like myself, who aren't strangers to being dragged from our home world to another. I can't help but be curious as to what other worlds we've been to. This is actually the third world I've been dragged to. Before this, it was first Prospero and then Exsilium. It's rather interesting how each world tends to differ when it comes to power limits and what not.

Huh, now that I think about it, maybe we could use a support group for world hoppers....well, if anypony is interested that is.

Alastor and one of the Fluttershys have proposed organizing a general support group for anyone dealing with unusual problems, so you may be interested in talking to them about that. From the sound of it, there'll be several different groups within the whole group, so travelers could have one of their own.

That said, I'm from the Twilight Sparkle from Mayfield. No matter what anyone says, that town was not the perfect place to live.

Thank you for the advice, Twilight Sparkle. I'll be sure to talk to them when I see them.

I'll definitely take your word about that. It seems to be a common theme with some of the worlds we've been to. Nice name, but nightmare inducing things happen.

[magicalrealist]

And Mayfield definitely specialized in nightmare inducing things, particularly the psychological ones. (Speaking from experience.)

How about the worlds you visited?

[needsteaplz]

Well, the first world, Propero, involved nightly encounters with creatures called Shadows. We were able to summon Personae, manifestations of our psyche, to fight them. Not to mention we also dealt with strange events that happened every full moon.

The last world I was in, we were actually brought in by a rebel group called the Initiative. It was much more futuristic world but it was ruled by a global tyrannical power, the United Earth. Our mission was to dismantle the power by messing with key events in the past to stop it from being created. We often hit many setbacks but, we somehow managed to win. It's still hard to believe we managed it pull it off.

It's amazing, what you can accomplish when you work with others. That revelation is what pulled me through some of my worst times.

(A fact that Twilight has since learned and relearned in her memories of Equestria, her time in Mayfield and her time in this Equestria.)

...We actually had a similar incident with the shadows back in December. A fog rolled over Ponyville and shadows of others began roaming the town. They represented the true self that others don't like admitting to and denying them sent them into a frenzy, but accepting them granted the power to summon their Persona.

[needsteaplz]

It does seem to be a universal theme no matter which world we go through.

Ah, yes, Alastor told me about it. And truth be told, we had a similar event in Prospero as well. When I do think look back on it, my younger self was lucky not to give into mine. If it had happened much later, I might've died again and I seriously don't need another notch in that belt.
