Seventh Starfall: Beyond the Pale [Visual, postdated for after the Closing Ceremonies]

[stormbroken]

[It's about two hours after the appearance of the Pale Pony, and everything that came with it. You might think that things would calm down again, but no.

This time, Flare Star fires up a scroll that she basically pulled straight away from Dust and starts talking, about as seriously as many ponies have ever heard out of her - the exceptions being Queen Chrysalis (who got to hear the tone when she was attacking the pegasus) and Zecora (whom she helped during Nightmare Night).]

The cards've been played. I don't know what kind of feeling that was that I felt back there, but I know it is evil. No more playing around, no more wasting time trying to understand.

I'm not saying that we don't still need to research this nag, far from it. In fact, we need to centralize our research, so that everypony has the same access to it. It's only right in times of war to allow your soldiers to know of the enemy they fight.

She pulls us all in at random, focusing on those with powers, and then every month, she culls. A few more get drawn into her, possibly for keeps. By standing before us today, by proving that she exists, she has declared war. Not on Equestria, but on every last one of our worlds.

Buck compassion, and buck caring for a pony so far gone that she'll steal souls for her own gain.

She needs to die.

Who's with me?

Flare, I understand the desire to act, I truly do. However, We cannot do much until the research gives us a few more answers. You cannot kill something if you do not know what exactly it is.

[Or just what kind of fire power is needed to destroy such things as eldritch abominations. ]

[stormbroken]

...Someone's gotta fire up the troops. Slipstream ain't here any more.

[Three guesses where she is, Rarity.]

[Private]
Plus, it's like someone else said... maybe I was just... lashin' out at how damn powerless we are right now.

[Private]

[weaponizedgems]

[She doesn't need to guess.]

Even lashing out may have its consequences.

[Already Rarity's on the move to seek out Flare. Besides, it may be time for the Knight to stop playing dressmaker for awhile. Rarity just hates to admit it.]

[Private]

[stormbroken]

Maybe so.

[She doesn't sound as upset any more, at least... though she's still in the Crystal Empire, so it might be difficult for Rarity to hunt her down until she gets back home.]

Re: [Private]

[Trust her, Rarity fully intends on hunting down Flare once she arrives back home and having a little one on one time with the other mare.]

Now, I know this is stressful for everyone, but we do not need to incite disorder right now. Rallying the troops is one thing, stirring up an angry mob is something else completely different.
