You feel terrible, your head pounding, you body.. you can hardly feel your body.. You look around and there are other ponies here, they all seem.. translucent.. the ground is dark, the grass is black, the flowers that grow don't seem correct.
You eventually look up to what the other ponies are staring at, a pale pony with a dark cloak is standing on a hill nearby. His eyes are covered by the hood but he seems to have no issues seeing you.
"Greeting spirits. I am here to guide you, answer any and all questions to the best of my ability, and help you adjust to the after life."
A few of the other ponies nod slowly, a couple cry.

You feel your chest a bit and find that your outfit has a hole in it, the edges of it frayed and burned.
After focusing a moment you search yourself and find a rolling pin and an apron, well, the apron would cover up that hole.. and then you wouldn't be able to see through yourself.
>>502955
You find it easier to float than stand, but you stand up and meet the cloaked pony.
"Yes. Tambelon, the other side, underworld, spirit zone.. These are all names that ponies have used for this place."

Huh, those aren't yours at all, They zap from you over to the confused earth pony mare asking questions.
You look on the ground next to you and find a pendant the familiar swirls. Opening it up confirms for you that it is yours, your sweet Jenny's smile looking back at you.
>>502968
"I'm sorry Miss Sweet Rolls." The hooded pony offers you a pale hoof. "I can see that you were not ready to die, but it happens to everypony."
You see your favorite lucky apron and rolling pin appear next to you.

I look at them and fall to my flanks.
Then look up to the pale pony, don't take the hoof.
"Can't I go back? Please? Just… just for a few more years at least? I was… Please?"
I look at them and fall to my flanks.

Stand up. It's war after all. I had to die one day or the other.
Bite my own tongue, trying to suppdead_lifes the tears, but fall back to my flank a moment later.
Look at the image in the pendant one more time before closing and wearing it.

The youngest of the pony spirits here is crying, a foal no older eight, he is holding a blanket tightly.
>>502984
The pale pony sighs. "It is beyond my power. You are here unless somepony from the world of the living pulls you out, or you become reborn."
>>502985
The pale pony just nods to you. "Then you should know that this place is safe." He gestudead_life to the left and right where in the distance you can see pillars with some strange writing on them. "Only spirits like you can enter here, there are older and stronger things in the underworld, while you should be careful, if anything happens you would end up back here."

"Yes, strong spirits that have made themselves formidable, solid, or otherwise more monstrous, they seek to hasten their rebirth by stealing the light of others."
He pauses.
"But it is not all bad, some creatudead_life like it here, and will give some of the light of life to those whom they favor, and eventually the lights of life will fall to you naturally."
The foal seems to absorbed in his own sorrows.
>>503001
The foal appears to be alone, he has a crack on his head as if he fell from a very high distance.

"Its is not comfortable to have your light stolen, is why you should be careful when exploring the underworld, but some souls like to be here, and will give you a portion of their light for favors and such."
>>503036
He sees your face filled with smiles and kindness and smiles up at you "I'm Boulder!"

Look at the cloaked pony.
"Is this a dream? This has to be a dream…"

Look at the cloaked pony.
"Is this a dream? This has to be a dream…"
A few of the other spirits here start to drift about, most of them seem to understand the gist of what's going on, that or they don't really care. You can see a few structudead_life here, stone buildings with slopping red roofs, they have thin papers with special symbols on them.
>>503042
"Thanks! I'm really strong." He replies. boldly.
>>503044
"Messages, border patrol, or just a conversation, you have to ask them." The pale pony replies carefully making sure his hood doesn't slip backwards.
A pegasus mare sits nearby spacing out, a set of goggles materialized next to her, her wings seem to have been injured and there is a small crack on her skull.
>>503056
"I'm sorry. But no. This is not a dream."

"It only takes a second." The pale pony says sympathetically.
>>503061
You trot your way over toward the house the young boy in tow. "Yea, what should I call you?" He asks.
>>503063
The pale pony simply points past the pillars which line the area. you can see rolling hills, a few walls in the distance, but nothing much moving.

"If you're not lucky enough to have someone on the living side to call you back, you can start working toward rebirth." The pony replies.
looking around you see tall pillars which guard the area, symbols craved into them, you see stone houses with red slopping roofs decorated with slips of paper containing similar symbols. Beyond the pillars you see rolling hills, a few walls in the distance.
"Be careful if you go beyond the pillars. There are strong things out there."
>>503067
You take him into the neadead_lifet house, inside you find other spirits moving about, some chatting with each other, some sitting at tables playing cards, and some staring absently as if they aren't fully here.

Hmm… the ones playing card… they must know a thing or two.
"Come on, I need to ask some questions from those ponies, okay?"
Walk over there.
"Excuse me… we are new here, could you give us a few pieces of advice on what to do? I admit, I am a bit lost at the moment…"

There are four ponies here playing cards.
"Play a game with us sweet heart." One of the ponies says offering you a chair.
"What do you think you should do?" The other asks you curiously.
>>503073
>>503075
The houses have other pony spirits like you wandering about, some staring off, some chatting, a group is playing some kind of card game.

They are playing cards, each pony is dealt two face down, and then several face up cards are dealt.
"Seven Card Stud. Its a new game." A stallion spirit replies as he examines his cards.
"Right I'm in."
"I fold"
"Stop folding each time!"
The four ponies seem to be from totally different eras.
A pegasus is wearing a blue overcoat with large gold buttons,
a unicorn stallion is wearing a suit with frills on the front and sleeves,
An earth pony is wearing a kind of cat mask and a pin-stripe shirt.
And the last one, a unicorn, is wearing some bronze armor, and matching helmet.
Intedead_lifetingly they seem a little more solid than most of the other spirits here.
>>503091
Your wings move, and you float up a bit, but you feel as if you don't need your wings for floating, as if they just make it easier.

You float up the stairs and see an earth pony mare covered in what looks like woven flowers. She greets you warmly as you enter, "Hello spirits." Her voice is warm and real feeling, she seems to have a certain tone, a glow to her.
Her room is filled with a truly random assortment of things, from fancy glasses and lamps to primitive looking weapons. There is a small cat spirit here. boulder runs over to it and begins to play with it, dangling some yarn from a nearby basket in front of the creature.

7 ostriches: nesting an egg each.

Take a deep breath… This is just mental, I'm sure I'll wake up any moment now, this is like a nightmare!
Enter the building.
Knock first though, of course.

The house is much like the other houses, stone walls, paper with protective symbols on the outside, and red singles on the roof, you don't see any signs of the mare here.
>>504886
You looks around carefully and see a set of hoof prints leading to and then away from this door, looks like she went back to the first house.
>>504884
Your knock echos through the building you hear hoof steps and a cranky "Yes, Yes, I'm coming!"
A chubby earth pony with an orange mane wearing a black and white suit and carrying an umbrella answers the door.
"And who are you? The filly scouts here to sell cookies?"

You take sky, and follow the trail back to the first house and find the four stallions are still playing their game. Trying to convince another spirit to join in.
"Come on, why not? We can even play a different game."
>>504919
"Jewelry, statues, great works of art.. nothing is too good for the Cobblepots!" He shows you around a little, the grandiose stairs, the statues on display made of ice or craved stone, they look like replicas of great works of art, there are paintings on the walls, and a few shells and pelts of creatudead_life.

"Girl, Cobblepot is an easy mark, just compliment his stuff, say he looks handsome in the suit, he'll be in your paw like a kitten on a saucer of milk."
"Diamonds, a mare's best friend. I know that all too well… No. I won't be showing any diamonds today sweetheart."

"Well.. there was a very pretty mare, wearing a flight suit and goggles, she has been by here are least three times, I think she's sticking around.." The pegasus with the blue overcoat says winking at you. "I didn't catch her name thou, do you happen to know it?"
The unicorn in the bronze armor smirks, the unicorn in the frilly suit looks intedead_lifeted, and the earth pony in the cat-like mask grins a bit.

"Here you are Miss. Your reward."

She seems delighted. "Oh, how wonderful! I just know Meowster is going to love this, such a precious creature.." She plucks the cat out of the yarn and sets it down next to the Crystal Eyeball, the cat's fur stands up and it arches it back and circles around the orb occasionally batting at it and making the iris move causing the cat to jump back before approaching it again.
"Oh, look at it playing already!" The flower covered mare holds out a ball of light to you. "And this is for you."

Now you just have to get each stage right, first is mixing.. will you mix the dry ingredients and wet ones separately?

Sprinkle flour over a board, put the dough on it, then give Boulder the rolling pin.
"Boulder, would you be a dear and start working on this for me with your strong hoofsies?"
In the meantime, butter the inside of a mixing bowl.

Ruffle his mane a bit, then take the dough and then butter all of it's sides before putting it in the bowl…
Hmm, let's cover it with a wet towel, that always works.

you go north of the settlement, and see an area lit by different color torches. There is a tiny stone building in the middle of these torches with a wooden door, and a switch to the right of the door. You can hear a fire from inside.

"So how much do you know about crafting?"

You break down and start to cry, loudly like a wailing cry, the slight echo make you confirm this is real which doesn't comfort you, you can't help but think of everything you've lost, everything you left behind. The cat spirit meows like a high pitched a howl along side you, as if its mourning with you.
"Yep, just chop down a tree with that axe I gave you earlier. watch out for spiders, they have silk string but jump around a lot and can take you by surprise if you're not careful." Tanner smiles, seems like he really loves to give helpful advice.

"Come back if you need more advice." Tanner says with a wave.
You step on the wooden switch in front of the door and it opens.. to reveal Clear Sky standing there with her hoof about to knock.
>>510321
Before you can knock the door flies open and you see Sigfried standing there. An earth pony stallion with ruffled red hair, dark eyes, and a plain gray outfit is inside the house, he gives you a friendly wave.
>>510322
You manage to bring yourself to a slow sniffle the cat spirit rubbing against your legs in an attempt to comfort you. '1d10'
Roll #1 1 = 1

You try to push the cat away and manage to get it off you but not before it manages to lick your hoof slightly. The black cat tilts its head at you and lays down a few feet away staring as you pull yourself together, you realize you need to hurry or the bread will be burned.

You walk inside once you step off the wooden switch on the floor the door closes behind you, the earth pony stallion with ruffled red hair, dark eyes, and a plain gray outfit waves at you again. "Hello, can I help you with something?"
>>510336
The cat meows at you in reply and licks its own paws. When you go back inside boulder is floating around the oven trying to peak inside.

You pull open the oven and look at the rolls, They are perfectly golden brown, any later and they would be burnt!
"It smells really good!" he says excitedly.

You head further north making your way toward the pillars, you can spot some trees already, the ones inside the pillars don't look very tall, and are spread out in an orderly way as if they are younger, and intentionally planted. Outside the pillars the trees are tall and thickly gathered as if they naturally grew.

You put on an oven mitt and pull out the tray with the buns on it.
Whoa, they sure are warm!

The now familiar feeling of leaving the safety of the pillars comes over you with an uneasy chill, the fodead_lifet here is somewhat dark, and you think you can hear things moving around you, the trail winds back and forth, you can start chopping on a random tree or select one carefully, some of them seem climbable as well.
