APPLE FACTS 13 1/2: MOST APPLES ARE STILL PICKED BY HAND [Visual/Private]

[caneattheseapples]

[Private to the Mane 6 and All their Variations]

Hi. Uh. I usually don't answer a lot of these when you girls private them to us because a lot of the time I'm not sure it includes me but I've got some serious shit I need to ask you all about.

You probably know me but if you don't I'm Jappleack, the Danny Devito twin to Applejack's Arnold Schwarzenegger, and pretending you all get that joke and moving on, you probably know me from my smash hit "Jumping into the Pale Pony", a tune so great I've done it three times now. In a little bit, I think I'm going to be doing it a fourth.

So here's the deal. If you can, you really think you can? I want any of you to come with me.

See, I think talking can work with her. Last time myself and a few others tried it and it...didn't go great, but she reacted. And if there's anything we can do, not just to stop this but to help her, it's going to be by confronting her with words. Of showing we care.

So I wan't to take a group of us, at least one of each of us, in to her to talk with her. I'm not going to push for this; if you don't think you could do it, don't. I don't want to put anypony in more danger than they think they can deal with. But I think it'd have a pretty damn good chance of working.

That's all I got.

[Private/Team Dandy]

Yo mofos I'm checking in to make sure all of you are still alive and kicking here. It's been a while since we dove into our host here. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to try again soon, and I've got a proposition about our next trip when y'all are ready.

I don't want to do it before Hearts and Hooves Day, she seems kind of...active during holidays. I'm thinking maybe near the end of February or beginning of March, whichever you nerds want to do. Either way, I kind of get the feeling we should move soon. I dunno.

I feel like something big might happen soon.

[sailorlaughter]

Ooooh, ooooh! I can come! I'm REEEEEEEALLY good at missions!

[caneattheseapples]

Shit, I knew you'd be all in, probably. I bet you'll kick ass at this mission too.

[Especially since there'll be no need to worry about sneaking around this time. It would kind of defeat the purpose of what they're trying to do, truth be told.]

[appletastic]

...I dunno if having more than one Apple along would confuse her, since you've been kinda the ringleader so far as I can tell. But if you need me, I'm there.

[caneattheseapples]

Asking me? Yeah, I think we'll need you, if you're willing to come.

I'd like you to, I gotta admit.

[usedpartycannon]

If my big self is going, then I'll remain here. Somepony's gotta keep the party train going and there's gotta be somepony to welcome you girls back when you get out!

If you see anypony we know inside there, say hi and give them some of the welcome food.

[caneattheseapples]

Hell, I can do that. I might ask people for a list of others they want me to talk to before we all go.

And we're gonna appreciate it. Going into that thing is a bitch.

[Visual/Private]

[theytookmypants]

I was just thinking about this, and I agree, I think March would be our best time. I've also been working with some of the other sci-guys to reproduce that invisibility potion. Should have more than just the one by then too

[Visual/Private]

[caneattheseapples]

Kick ass science dude. The more of those we can get the better set we are, and the more we can get in.

I'm not saying, you know. We ought to be running this like some kind of fair attraction or shit. But the more people get inside and try to talk to her just...the better I think things will go.

[kind_to_all]

I...

Um. I don't know if I would be all that helpful... I'm sorry.

[caneattheseapples]

You don't have to come if you don't want to, Fluttershy. But I think you'd be a shitton more helpful than you think.

[elementofloyalty]

I'm in.

[caneattheseapples]

Sweet. Kind of figured I wouldn't need to talk to you too much about it. A Pinkie and Applejack are in too, and I think Fluttershy is going to come. We just need to see if Rarity and a Twi will come though, hey.

Don't think we'll have any trouble with that either.

[adandyinspace]

What the hell kind of name is Hearts and Hooves day for a holiday?! Holy shit!

[Guess who missed the point.]

[caneattheseapples]

It's Valentine's Day, dumbshit. A bunch of the older ponies still want us to use the older names where I'm from, and this Equestria still just uses them.

Now you still in for round two or not?

[visual/private]

[strengthinkindness]

...I-I'll go.

[visual/private]

[caneattheseapples]

Thank you.

If you don't want to, if you don't think you can? You don't have to.

But I think it'll make a difference with all of us there.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

You know I'm in.

Someone I know is there and I'm terrified for her...she's only a kid.

[caneattheseapples]

All the more reason to go.

You going to be okay waiting til March to do this, then?

[Private Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

So you really think a dose of Cruel Kindness can go a long way with her, huh? We're in.

[Private Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

We'll see how much we need it. I think it being Fluttershy getting to drive for the most part will help the most, but we'll see.

[friendshipxfriendship]

Entering the Pale Pony...?

[Twilight lets out a sigh, then an affirmative grunt.]

I'm in. I'm the third Twilight. Call me Lyrica if it'll make things easier for you.

[caneattheseapples]

That's what I said. I can jump right into that bitch.

Cool with me, though hey. As far as I'm concerned, Twilight is Twilight. Which do you want me to call you?

[weaponizedgems]

I suppose if you are truly wishing to assemble a group of us for this task, I may as well volunteer. Especially if you tend to assemble one of each of us.

[caneattheseapples]

That's the plan.

If we can talk to her, maybe force her to look at something that familiar to her...I dunno. I want to think it might cause her to talk to us, at least a bit. To maybe feel something.

[goalriff]

[Well, this is certainly... something. Dash had already spoken to the other Applejack here. Have a new Dash, Jappleack.]

What the heck? Are you sure your name isn't Applejack?

[caneattheseapples]

Well, it is, but you know. With the amount of clones and shit running around, thought'd be, you know. Easier to just use the dumb name I came up with for myself in high school.

You a Dash that just arrived recently, huh?

[video]

[marearcana]

I'm sorry, Jappleack, but I'm not sure I can go with you.

Every time it seems like it takes weeks for you to get back, and I don't have that kind of time to spare as a Princess...

[video]

[caneattheseapples]

Shit, you don't need to apologize for that. This is your world, and your ponies Twilight. You gotta do what you gotta do, and it's damn sure as important as anything we're doing in there.

You ain't gotta be sorry about anything.

(Visual)

[mostloyalpony]

(Rainbow hasn't talked once with this version of Applejack, but it didn't matter what she called herself; friends were still friends! And yes, Rainbow knows about the latest Dash; she's training her in regards to flying and whatnot. It's still ongoing.)

If you need me, I'm in. Are the other mes in on this too?

(Visual)

[caneattheseapples]

[Shitting damn there really were quite a few Dashs' here, about as many as there were Twilights. She hadn't really seen this one around much, so it takes her a little off guard. But hey, Dash is Dash, so it's not a big deal.]

You think you're ready, hell yeah, I have no problem taking you in.

One is. I think one of the others of you is just confused. Dunno if she'll go.
