Author's Notes:

What’s this? The mythical double update from, OUTRAGEOUS!

Oh look, we have visitors to the town. And look some fun stuff, have fun involving several characters.

It happened, the town was finally opened to the public and all the information in the official statement came with it. That was all made possible just a week after the first day of spring. Predictably, there were rushes of visitors to the community in the first couple of months, most of which resulted in mixed reactions of the visitors themselves. Mixed in among those visitors were Twilight and her family. With Lilac now around three months old Twilight could work on official magic lessons with her new niece, something she was squeeing about internally for who knows how long.

A number of notable members of the Canterlot crowd were also visiting the town, most of whom had a very low approval of the village due to the fact many of the community’s occupants had actually chosen to forgo any attire and therefore Equestria’s most basic of modesties. Some of the retired Canterlot elite, like Fleur Dis Lee and Fancypants, joked about possibly changing this to their place of retirement. The visiting foals didn’t seem to mind, many of which made a mad dash to Spike’s shop when they realized they could get sweets and play games there. The more dedicated dining establishments also found themselves to be rather popular.

The uniforms worn by all the establishments didn’t meet with the approval most of the visiting parents, seeing as they lacked the hints of modesty that most uniforms for most dining establishments present in the outside world. A few of the visitors even made cracks about there not being a strip club; they were soundly thrashed by any residents in earshot for a few seconds with the beating ending with statements about the community not wanting to reinforce objectification of others.

“No matter how many times I see her, she’s just so cute,” said Twilight as she sat across from Lilac in the residential part of the temple Daring and Spike resided in. She had grown used to Spike’s unadorned form, that didn’t mean she was devoid of embarrassment almost every time she saw him without any clothing on. “I’m not surprised by her abnormally strong magic surges; Jing says Kirin have incredibly strong magical power and potential.”

“Um, I think we might be a little out of the loop here,” said Spike.

“Oh, right,” said Twilight, “Jing is the visitor Neighpon I’ve been working with. He happens to be a dragon, but not like any sort we’re familiar with in Equestria. Anyway, in Neighpon they have stories of rare entities called ‘kirin’, which happen to be what happens when a pony and dragon have a baby together. They’re said to be extremely rare, and from what I’ve been able to gather they have magical power that could possibly rival or surpass that of an alicorn. Can you imagine what a kirin that reaches an alicorn-like state could be like? Anyway, you two can go about the rest of your day; I’ll be spending the next few hours looking after her and teaching her some magic basics.”

“But I don’t wanna be away from mommy or daddy,” said Lilac in an adorably squeaky voice with a slight flowery accent to it.

“You didn’t mention she’s so articulate,” said Twilight with surprise.

“She’s been talking since she was three weeks old,” said Spike, “she just got to the articulate wording stage earlier this week.

“Well,” said Twilight turning her attention to Lilac, “it looks like you’re even smarter than I suspected. And I thought you would be pretty smart, to begin with since your mom and dad are two of the smartest individuals I know.”

“Don’t worry, honey,” said Daring, “I’m going to be nearby if you need me, auntie Twilight has been looking forward to this since she first heard about you. She gets pretty excited about magic, but she’s also really focused on her family and friends getting the best of what they need. Since your dad and I don’t really know how to use magic, your aunt is the best choice we can think of. Of course, Grammy Celestia and auntie Luna are also excited about spending time with you on magic lessons.”

“I’m sorry,” said Twilight, “did you just say ‘Grammy’ Celestia?”

“Celestia is insistent that Lilac use one of those cute names foals use for their grandparents when addressing her,” said Daring as Spike stepped out, in a pair of blue jeans, “we’re okay with it. Also, Celestia gets really excited when Lilac calls her ‘grammy’ and gets a little overindulgent in spoiling her a bit.”

“I wasn’t expecting Celestia to get so into the whole grandmother thing so seriously,” said Twilight with a bit of surprise.

Big Macintosh and Discord were also among the throng of visitors to the town; Mac was showing clear signs of discomfort regarding the town, especially since he was married with foals, and Discord was just laughing it all off. They were all at Spike’s shop around a game table. Cadance and Shining Armor were in town to visit Flurry, with Cadance also wanting to spend some time with her new niece later. To avoid that awkwardness Shining decided to check out Spike’s shop and figured he might as well join Spike, Mac, and Discord for whatever activity they had planned.

Thankfully this worked out pretty good for Shining, seeing as they were all starting a new O&O campaign which coincided pretty closely with Spike’s acquisition of the latest version of the game just a few days prior. Shining and Mac both had mixed feeling about a naked mare in just an apron and hat operating in a place of business in general, Discord just kept on making cracks about how great the whole place is and he should meet whoever was responsible for all this personally. Spike just kept his mouth shut about that, mostly because he did not want Discord taking advantage of the situation with Daring.

Even though Daring was personally responsible for the town, the main offender was an entirely different entity. After a few minutes of silence, most of which was spent on character creation, Spike finally said, “That might be difficult, seeing as she’s a literal goddess and just sort of hanging out in her own pocket space.”

“Then visiting her shouldn’t be too hard,” said Discord, “I hang out in a space apart from the rest of the universe as well. Should I go with a Warlock or Wizard this time around?”

“I’m gonna be a spellsword, seems a good fit for me,” said Shining.

Macintosh just showed his character sheet and pointed to the Class slot which read “Paladin” before going back to working on his character.

“Maybe you should play a Druid or Cleric,” said Spike, “the party’s likely going to need a more dedicated healer. On the plus side, your character will be more capable of doing magic.”

“Alright,” said Discord, “but I’ll get a backup character going in case my other one gets killed off early on.”
