Plague of Pinkie Pies
What could be more fun than a pink party pony subject to the whims of cartoon physics? How about a massive hoard herd of pink party ponies subject to the whims of cartoon physics, with no memories or sense of morality or impulse but the driving need to have fun?
Prepare thyselves, Fandom, for an impending plague! A plague . . . of Pinkie.
So early season three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there was a lovely little episode about Pinkie Pie learning the importance of time management. You see, Pinkie loves nothing more than having fun with her friends. But what happens if more than one friend has something fun to do at one time?
Answer: disaster.
And that's just what's going to happen to Fandom.
Early morning, July 5th, pleasantly partied out Pinkie will come to realize that there are all sorts ofposts fun activities happening all over Fandom without her. Unable to handle the idea of missing even the barest moment of fun, Pinkie will find her way to the library and Special Collections and a particular spell book with a powerful cloning spell in it. Because how else can she deal with so many fun things happening than to make it so she can be in two places at once? Or three? Or seventeen?
Too bad her newly created Pinkie clones will have the same idea. The result? Exponential Pinkie population growth, ala the cane toad.
These Pinkies will get everywhere. They will want to do or try everything. They will storm through posts with giant bass drums. They will dance across your picnics, smashing all your food. They will push all of the red buttons. Things will break. Characters will cry. Sadness and mild irritation will sweep the land. (All of this assuming that they have OOC permission to do so. Pinkie chaos will be opt-in, only.)
Pinkie clones may be dispatched throughout the day as the characters see fit -- killed, banished, tied up, herded together into the preserve, shuttled through Portalocity to conquer the World Without Shrimp, etc. The original Pinkie, devastated by the clear -- well -- devastation of her poor choices, will be clearly identifiable as the only pink pony that's moping around like a wet rag instead of bouncing sociopathically. The only way to reverse the spell? Find the spell book back in Special Collections and recite the proper banishing chant, at which point Pinkie will learn a Very Important Lesson, and Fandom will return to (relative) peace once more.
This is a one day only plot. There's only so long anypony can maintain Pinkie's level of energy. ;D
Where do you come in? Well, that's up to you! Pinkie Pies will be both requestable and moddable throughout the day (EST, at least) to storm into posts and spread irritation and potentially accidental injury. I would love to have a small team (four or five) of folks to figure out What Is Going On and head for Special Collections for the reversal (this can be at least partially preplayed to account for timezones), and if anyone wants to volunteer to play a Pinkie clone, I've got a sign up thread for that, too (clones retain the general personality of the original Pinkie, but none of the memories, so all you really need is a basic understanding of cartoon physics and an icon or two). This is also the first plot I've tried running in kind of a long time, so any advice or assistance otherwise you might have to offer, I'm down for.
