>"And, of course for a light digestif, berries in an aged dandelion sauce."
>The waiter places four goblets, and gives a little bow before walking out of the room
>As a courtesy, your group waits for him to leave
>"....so, as I was saying, we really should do something about those grievance hours. 8 hours listening to ponies complain, and THEN paperwork, is just silly." Celestia muses, grabbing the goblet in her magic and taking a tentative sip
>"Mmm. Yea, but 'tis your way, to solve problems with discourse over martial combat..."
>"I still can't believe that - Celestia, Luna says that in the past, you had jousting contests to see who would get to air their grievances to you?!" Twilight pipes up, grinning
>"Yes, yes. I was...young and rambunctious."
>You look into your own goblet, the milky golden liquid hiding a few bobbing berries
"So.... uh... I just drink?"
>"Oh! Sorry, Anon." Twilight blushes, leaning over to get right into your personal bubble
>....dang horses and their space invasions
>"Ye- yes! Looks like you got the blue-and-boysenberry one, as is tradition. It's a drink you can chew!"
>You smile at her, raising your glass
"Well, alright. When in rome, yea?"
>"Trust us, Anon. It is a light and airy drink that was in vogue...mmm...-"
>"Yea, before I was banished - before th' tribes united?" 
>"Yes. I think so. Huh. I wonder who started this..."
>You take a sip
>Not bad. A bit tingly
>Your cup gets pushed up, and you start swallowing a bit more
>You cut your eyes at Luna, who giggles, and her horn stops glowing
"Gah! Cheeky-"
>"Don't talk with your mouth full, Anon~"
>You flick Twilight's ear as you chew the blueberries
"No respect. I don't get no respect."
>"Aww. Now now, I invited you here because I wanted to see how you were assimilating. I know Ponyville's a far cry from Canterlot, but, the fresh air should do you good."
"Yeah."
>You smile and swallow, the tingling not going away. Fancy horse drinks.

"Well, Celly. Things are going pretty well. There's always... a few cheeky mares that I have to deal with-"
>"We prefer the moniker, 'puckish rogue'" Luna corrects you, and you make a lazy swipe at her head
"Bah! But other than that, it's a nice quiet town. I don't know if that's really where I want to stay forever, but... it's pretty good. Definitely a place to raise some kids-"
>As one the mares around you daww
>Hey!
>You swallow hard
>"Mmmm. Already thinking of herding? Anon, you stud!" 
"Celly I can do without your teasing-"
>"Art they fair mares?"
>"Am I a preeettty princeeesss~?" Twilight sing-songs at you, nudging your side with her head
"You are all impossible."
>They giggle, and you smile...hmm.
>You should check something real quick
>Hey. 
>Hey brain?
>They've got asses that don't qui-
>Brain
>Hmm? I was busy-
>Yeah, in a moment. What's going on with stomach?
>I dunno lemme check. Yo, Big S, what's the-
>OH GOD WHAT IS THIS YELLOW SHIT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT-
>You lurch forward as your stomach contracts
"oh no"
>"Anon?!"
"j-just... thing. thing now!"
>"Anon? Colt, thou must give us direc-"
"THE VASE. NOW-"
>Twilight magics over the glass vase, and you dump out the contents onto the floor
>"Hey, what in the wo-"
"HUUUURRK-"
>That's right, let it alllll ouuuuuttt
>You breathe heavily after your first volley
"Oh God... yeah... fermented dandelions are n-NNGGUUUUUURRK"
>Idly, you realize that the horses have stopped talking, and are just watching you
>why in th- oh dear. Glass vase... they're seeing everything
>You'd be more embarrassed if you weren't VOMITING OUT YOUR HEART
>After a few moments, the only stuff left is bile.... which you wash down with a glass of water
>Ugh
"Oh... oh God, I'm so sorr-OH."
>You look at the vase, and wish you didn't
"Oh LORD that is nasty.... look, I'll just-"
>"If you're going to slip it into the space between the walls, do it now. I hear the heartbeats of our servants approaching."

>>27388882
>You feel off... by 6 or so
"I uh... I was just going to dump it in your roses and blame it on blueblood-"
>"T'ch. Hold on."
>A black... smoking void appears before you, the sound of mad laughter echoing in the abyss accompanying the... THING that just eats light
>"Well?"
"Whhhhh.....uuu?"
>"Ugh, let me." Celestia sighs, tugging the vase from your hands with her magic and dropping it into the nothingness beyond oblivion
>With a sound not unlike [spoiler]zip zop zoobity bop[/spoiler], the void closes
"....what?"
>"Anonymous... truly, now we know why we kept thee close. Thou art one of us!" Luna smiles a bit too wide, and you furrow your brow
"I don't-"
>"Celestia, what do you mean-"
>"Twilight... you've just transcended, so you don't yet know how to shed this form. We will show you much, tonight. But you, Anon... hmm..."
>Celestia looks you up and down with an interesting gaze
>Like one who is appraising a fine painting
>Like one who is appraising a cut of meat
>Your jimmies rustle slightly
>"It would be improper of us to shed before a broodfather. Come, sister, let us....well, first. We should use our strongest wards to make sure nopony interferes."
>Luna's horn lights - no, darkens up - and a very tasteful "do not disturb" sign appears on all the doors
>Huh
>"Now... hmm. How should we best shed our disguises?"
>"Ah. Why not add a bit of theater to it, Lulu?" With a soft, crackling smile, Celestia's horn ignites - like, literally catches on fire - and a tasteful privacy screen pops up on the other end of the table
>"Now... Shall I go first? Then you, then we'll help Twilight shed - and then, of course, we'll fix our gaze upon Anon?"
>That... ha ha this is getting really ominous
>Why are there no sounds
>Usually there are sounds of animals or birds or even... the clock
>But there's just no sound, save for your breathing
>"Yes. We agree to this, dearest sister."
"Ha ha... what?"
>Celestia coos at you as she gets up, smiling wider

>>27389189
>"Please find our true selves pleasing to your sight, Anonymous. We would love... to forge a brood with you."
>You blink owlishly as Celestia disappears behind the privacy wall, and you hear...
>It sounds like hollow wind
>It sounds like sheets of dried skin rubbing together
>It sounds like a moan from a being that was given life against it's wishes, and has forgotten how to die
>It sounds like the concept of rustling - no, that's your jimmies
>With no sound at all, gliding just above the surface, her multiple wings outstretched, Celestia reveals her true form
>Twilight starts shaking heavily, a squeak of indescribable terror and unparalleled joy involuntarily escaping her lips
>"A....are we appeasing to your sights, Anon?"
>You blink, yet can't close your eyes
>The image is just... there
>Celestia hovers before you
>Exactly how she was
>Just draped in a bedsheet
"Are... are you-"
>"YES!" She cuts you off, posing dramatically. "We are the spookiest, and for too long we have been unable to show our true selves to anyone other than our sister. We are the queen of gosts-"
"You mean ghosts-"
>She turns to show you her flank, and it's two spooky little ghosts
>"Anonymous, please. I know what I am."
>You...can't really argue with that
"So... I mean..."
>She's hovering there, looking at you
>You sigh
"You look wonderful-"
>"EeeEEEeeeEEeee~" She spookily squees, hovering over to rest on your back
>"Glorious! Now, fair Anon - let us please you with our true form as well!"
>Yeah sure whatever
>You're not going to argue with the deity laserhorses
>Twilight is babbling incoherently, so you start rubbing her ear
>She keeps babbling, but is now leaning into your hand, so.... that's a win
>Luna pads forward behind the privacy curtain, and you just feel so .... cold
>So very cold
>Looking outside, the problem becomes obvious
>The sun is gone
>The outside is gone
>It's just inky blackness
>Your breath comes out in shallow puffs as the cold sets in

>>27389411
>You feel.... you don't feel
>You don't feel Twilight's soft, warm ear
>You don't feel Spookylestia haunting behind you
>You don't feel your own limbs, or skin
>You don't feel the sharp intake of cold air against your warm lungs anymore
>You don't feel when no gf
>Trotting out behind the curtain, Luna poses dramatically
>"BEHOLD! OUR TRUE FORM!"
>The firmaments shake
>Tartarus wails in impotent fear
>Luna's plastic vampire fangs slip a bit, but she licks them back on
>She rears up, her little half-cape swaying dramatically
"I...it's uh... majestic. Very majestic-"
>"R-really?" She lands on her hooves again, beaming at you
>You smile a genuine smile
"Yes. You look absolutely-"
>"I-impossible? Non-Euclidean? Unnameable?"
"-adorable."
>You hear Celestia giggle behind you, and Luna pouts
>Aww
"Well. Adorable ponsters get to lay on my lap-"
>"Wh-what? We are adorable! adorable and spooky-"
>"Huzzah! We shall defile this lap forthwith!"
>There's another spasm to your left, and you turn, just as Twilight's eyes unfocus and she starts giggling with manic laughter
"Oh... hey, you may want to-"
>"Oh! Of course, our student... ah... Luna, dearest. Let's pull her behind the screen - a forced disrobe..."
>Luna nods, still smiling. "Yes. I am eager to see what her new, true form is! Though, Mine is the only 'adorable' one~"
>You can feel the smug
>It's cute
>Spasming, Twilight is lifted - not by magic, but by what feels like sheer *will*, her hooves leaving skidmarks on the marble as she's dragged behind the curtain
>"Luna, if you will help us?"
>"Yes, sister of mine."
>The two of them disappear - one dramatically, one spookily - behind the privacy curtain
>You clench your butt, preparing for another round of weird feels
>But you don't feel
>There's the sound of flesh ripping, sure
>And a gurgling, and a high pitched whine, like a dog submitting to a tyrannosaurus rex hand puppet
>...and the overpowering scent of marinara
>"Hmm. Not... what we had hoped." 

>>27389525
>There's an OVERWHELMING smell of marinara
>Like, just
>Just
>You cough softly, taking a sip of water
>"Well... she is cute, for a young one. Just a bit more grown than a youngling-"
>"Reminds me of you when you spawned from the non-existent void before time-"
>"Tia! You promised!"
>There's a soft chuckle, and then a light howl
>"Lu-LUNA, GRAB HER-"
>With a sudden lurch, something hits the privacy screen, and it falls over
>Before you stands the transformed Twilight
>Oh God
>It's...
>It's actually HORRIBLE
>Standing there, panting heavily with a still gibbering maw
>Is
>IS
>....is Twilight, but just a bit more fuzzy. Like if someone blow-dried her fur
>She's also got fake dog ears and fake dog paws-
>SHE'S A FURRY
>OH GOD
>You recoil slightly, and she hones in on your movement
"Now... now now....Down. Down - no, No DOWN DO-"
>You flail your arms as roughly 70lbs of furry nerd tackles you over the table, rubbing her whole body against your chest
>Like, literally rolling around on you like a dog
"Dangit, Twilight! What in the world-"
>"We apologize, Anon." Luna says, a void forming over her forehead where her horn should be
>Twilight is enshrouded in a purple aura and lifted off of you
>"Yes, it seems the first taste of freedom she's received from the... normal life has gone to her head. Are you ok?"
>Celestia hovers next to you, reaching a hoof down to help you up
>You try to take it, but she moves her hoof
>Aaaand she moves it again
>And again
>"OooOOooo-"
"Damnit Celestia you're not this incorporeal-"
>"Ooooosorry. Forgot you're still on this plane-"
>She holds her hoof still and you grip it, hauling yourself up to your feet
"Yeah, well..."
>"Arf!"
". . . you know, I think this has been a big enough day. Maybe we just pick this up tomorrow?"
>"Aahh... broodfathers are always such teases~" Luna hums. "Very well then. You will have to see yourself out - we must forge flesh anew to be seen by our little ponies-"
"Sure thing, Lulu. See y'all at breakfast?"

>>27389602
>"Yes Anon. But remember this - we get, how is it said - 'Dibs' on defiling your lap!"
>You chuckle and make your way to the door.
"Yep. First dibs are for you, Luna. I might even brush your mane-"
>"Eeee! How terrible! I shall make haste through time to see you again!"
>Rolling your eyes, you open one of the doors, making sure to slide through it and close it quickly, lets the horrors you've seen overwhelm tinyhorse-kind
>Ah well. Thousands of years old and their only quirk is being unreasonably spooky? Not a big deal.
>You'll just tell them tomorrow that you have a [spoiler]skeleton inside you[/spoiler]
>That'll make them happy.
* * *
>With the sound of meteors slamming into cities, and the sound of tears being formed, a rip in the formless void appears
>Appears may be the wrong word, in a place with no time
>It has always been there and it never was
>Three... THINGS ooze through, the consistency of pus and over-gorged maggots wriggling existence into a place it should not be
>"EXCELLENT. HE ACCEPTED US AS WE REALLY ARE." Beamed Luna, her countless maws gnashing at each other
>"YES. WE SHOWED HIM OUR HARSHEST SELVES, AND HE DID NOT FLINCH. SUCH QUALITY, SUCH REFINEMENT-"
>"A...AAAHHH! I SEE! I SEE IT ALL! IA IA! THE PLACE WHERE ALL LINES CONVERGE! SUCH JOY, AND SUCH HORROR!"
>Blind eyes turn towards the smallest THING, bleeding white tears of flame
>That's the marelyest type of tears, you know
>"MY FAITHFUL STUDENT. DO YOU NOW SEE? DO YOU NOW SEE IT LIKE I DO?"
>With cries of ecstasy, the entity of Twilight turns in and through herself, birthing and slaughtering a thousand forms of what she could have been, and what she is
>"YES! YES!"
>The dark THING vibrates, it's voice crashing against the nothingness. "GOOD. NOW, WE MUST TURN OUR ATTENTIONS TO ANONYMOUS, FOR WE DESIRE HIM MUCH."
>The THING that is Celestia gibbers madly, in joy, and soon forms a chorus with her sister and faithful student
