WEEK 2 DAY 2: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: "Make the mall rats batty."
Time Limit: Short
Noise Plane: Solo
Wall Instructions: Around Julius Mall; must be required to defeat noise
Wall Rewards: Mystery Pin
Reaped Rewards: Lolita Bat
Mission Rewards: 500 leu



[Interestingly enough, it seems the mission takes place inside a mall full of Reaper Decal'd buildings. Assuming the so-called 'mall rats' are in fact RGers, this should make your job quite easy.

But don't these mystery pins look kinda sketchy and bootleg? Plus if you put one on, it slows your movements. ... And may also kind of make you feel like eating some rare steak. Odd indeed.]

Pinkie Pie, you too are here?
How did you happen to appear?

[gypsy_portals]

...Yeah, I'm here, Miss Zecora. I'm... just as surprised as you. I mean, I thought this place burned down years ago! And had a lot more ponies instead of humans.

So... I dunno how I got here. Maybe there was a problem with the time portal I baked?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

It's one strange thing among many, you'll find
And I haven't seen other ponies since I -- never mind.

[Go on, try to figure out how that rhyme works. Zecora, meanwhile, shakes her head, then reaches a hoof into her cloak.]

Perhaps, at least, something to eat
Would be a pleasant, welcome treat.

[gypsy_portals]

[Zecora's nice enough to not ask about baking portals, she'll return the favor and not pry too hard about what that "since" was. She does headtilt for a moment, though, before nodding.]

It's from yesterday, since folks don't seem too interested in the food I'm making here... but like I told that other guy I saw in Shine Junction, it's half-off. Is that okay?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I'd still like something, if you would.
I'm sure it still tastes quite good.

[gypsy_portals]

["Something" indeed - Pinkie pulls out a tray with an assortment of cupcakes, cookies, and donuts of various shapes, sizes and colors.]

Sure thing! I'll even knock down the price a bit more on account of you needing a pick-me-up, Zecora!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Not quite up to speed yet on the denominations, Zecora scrounges up a few of her money pins to offer in exchange.]

[gypsy_portals]

[And she doesn't really even bother to count, just taking one of them at random and offering the others back before placing the tray down.]

Take your pick!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[A crepe would be good. Zecora selects a crepe, but spends a moment looking at it. Can she still even properly eat any more? After all, given the circumstances...]

[Well, only one way to find out. She takes a bite.]

[gypsy_portals]

[Sure enough... it's... completely normal! Huh. Apparently whatever powers are keeping you in the UG and letting you fight noise are allowing you to eat food with no problems whatsoever!

Also, Pinkie Pie's cooking skill definitely hasn't changed much from what you may remember. Which means that these are still Sugarcube Corner quality, despite being made on a retrofitted hot-dog cart.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[And Zecora feels slightly braver, no doubt.]

Though our circumstances are strange
Your fine baking has not changed!
