Day 27: Still unable to find escape from pony world. Local literature only appears to deal with coping.
Here's the plan:
Kidnap some of the ponies. Lock them up in separate cages, where they can hear but not see each other. This step is important.
After several hours and maybe a little persuasion to call for help, they'll start using that friendship magic stuff to try to help each other. Not themselves, they aren't in direct trouble - they can just hear someone crying over that way somewhere. They don't have line of sight, so it'll be vaguely directionless.
Tap into all that magic getting cast about to create a portal. It's all trying to help someone escape, so you'll be using it for its intended purpose... should make things easier. Once you've left pony land, you'll hopefully be able to get back to normal. There might even be enough magic left over to help your captives, maybe.
Tyla: Ty Ty ty Ty Ty Ty
Tyla: we need more tys
Selden: No, no, no. Then we'd need a tybreaker.
* Tvorsk snickers!
Tyla: ...
Tyla: that was...
Tvorsk: Tyla, the word you're looking for is "beautiful".
Virmir: I need to hire Selden as an editor.
