Let's call it "Temporary Princess" 76%“I’m not from the other world,” she answered, and meant it. “But I would like to use their way of doing things to try and make up for our shortfalls. You said I’d be free to get help from anyone I wanted, right? If you’ve heard what I did with farming and lessons for unicorns, it would be like that, but… across other domains. I’d like the pegasi and the handful of hippogriffs and griffins we’ve got in the zone to be able to fly. Imagine how effective…-

Make Plans to Train the Pegasai 60%Roberts was not, as it happened, "just overreacting."At least not in the sense that he might be expressing a few minutes of discomfort that quickly settled to something calmer when he had a chance to think.She found someone waiting for her at her quarters when she got back: a griffin wearing a suit jacket and a red tie. Way took one glance down the hall, then pushed Hazel away from the entrance, back into the stairwell. "Hide, now."She looked pleading, but only for a…

Wayfinder's students shambled forward, half-awake at the time they would normally have their morning PT. She made her introductions, and the questions came. "Who the hell is that?" someone asked. "What does she know about magic?" "Why are we listening to her?"Captain Roberts smirked at her, as chaos filled the clearing. This was exactly what she had worried about. She had to convince these students to trust someone else, while someone eager to see her fail was ready to leap on any mistake. If she lost…

Bring Materials from Starhall 72%Of course, Wayfinder knew Hazel wasn't going to turn her down. She was a kid, and Way was one of the few people in her whole world who had shown her kindness since she became infected. She would probably have done anything Way asked if she thought it would make her happy. That only meant an increased responsibility for Way when giving her a job.Only the total certainty of starvation made her consider any of it, and the confidence she'd seen from the population of Starhall…

"Teach the Earth Ponies to farm" 65%Getting people together for something as abstract as farming magic was quite a bit easier in practice than it was in simple description. Doubly so since Wayfinder couldn't actually use the magic she had in mind. She couldn't exactly go marching through the police station demanding everyone without a horn or wings follow her to a garden plot and hand them seeds.But that was more or less all she could do to get things moving to start. She'd earned a little goodwill in the…

No, only Hazel can be trusted. 52%It wasn't that Wayfinder didn't believe that Peter was on her side. He'd sacrificed as much as she did to get Ruby released, even though the mare was only an acquaintance to him. He had no obligation to offer anything, not even advice. Yet he'd saved and sacrificed and risked. But for all that, something about the way he ended up with Lance just didn't sit well with Way. He'd been a soldier before he was anything else, with deep connections to the same base that once…

Be a spy/diplomat with the isolation zone 48%The temptation to remain in Starhall studying with Sunburst was almost impossible to resist. Here was a pony who knew everything about her powers, whose theoretical knowledge of the secrets of magic extended into questions she hadn't even thought to ask yet, and who was willing to show her anything she asked! She could vanish into this place, and in a way it would be her second chance at university. Only this time, she'd actually graduate with useful skills,…

Say that they should stay in Star Hall, if they can make it work 80%"I'd be leaving people behind if I stayed," Wayfinder began. "My sister is out there. I'd have to go back and get her. But before I did that, I'd want to know how this place works. How you're able to survive the dangers.""What even is the Overgrowth?" Ruby interrupted. "This awful forest is getting bigger all the time, forcing the isolation zone to burn it back. We've already seen at least one danger, presumably there are a bunch more. But…

Follow the Wisp 92%Wayfinder descended the maintenance steps. This building held the practical sciences, so most of its internal space was occupied with various labs and lecture halls. She had fond memories of a class in the observatory there on the fourth floor, though the wisp wasn't going in that direction.Soon enough they were back in common areas. Here the building endured better than the surrounding areas. Nature crept inside only where the occasional window was cracked open—and even then, the…

Side paths, slower but stealthy. 76%Wayfinder led them silently into the Overgrowth.At first there was nothing to impede their path, or anything to suggest they ventured anywhere more interesting than an abandoned town somewhere. If there was any significant detail about the place, it was how quickly the effects of the place's namesake took hold.Grass cracked through even tiny cracks in the pavement, with vines creeping up and covering any surface tall enough to support them. Wildflowers of numberless…
