8th Sign: A State of Emergency [Visual][Locked from whatever scroll took that first visual]

[weekwizard]

[Not long after that little event with the Princesses, Patchouli opens the scroll to address everypony. She appears to be working on a spell in the middle of the road as she speaks.]

I am assuming you all saw what just transpired.

There is no time to lose. We need defenses set up and the general populace evacuated somewhere safe. We shall also need whatever information we can on what that thing is and the best way to combat it. Until then, stay out of the main thoroughfares on the north side of town, towards Canterlot. It will be a dangerous place, and not because of that creature.

[The spell finishes casting, and a large glyph appears on the road for a moment before fading away. It's still there, but hidden.]

Let us deal with this quickly; I'd rather not have to deal with two threats for long.

The Princesses. Some manner of centaur creature attacked them and banished them to Tartarus. It stated it would be heading to Ponyville next.

... Is it Tuesday already?

I kid. I'd come and help, but I'm more than a day away.

I have the feeling this may be more than a single battle. Amass what strength and personnel you can and return.

Iiiii don't think a bunch of actors are going to do any good against this. I'll try to get back but I'm going to have to figure out a way to let down Ishinohorace gently. He was really looking forward to me being in this show.

This is no time for grace. He will understand if you choose protecting your town and its ponies over the entertainment industry.

If he doesn't, no matter. What he feels is of no concern.

Gee, aren't you a miserable ball of sunshine?

I can't guarantee ANYTHING right now.

Don't guarantee, just do. If you know of a way to help, then do so. If not, don't waste time. Deal with feelings then all we have to worry about is the more passive threat in the form of the corrupted princess.
