Last time, on Rarity “Quest:”

You woke up from your night of intimacy and went yet another round after some clever word play prompted it. Not that you mind, though her taking a dom position without your initial consent caused a little confusion. But in the end, you enjoyed it more than you might care to admit to her. You suspect she enjoyed it a little more than she lets on as well, but have no way of backing up that claim.

Afterward, the two of you showered, were informed that you are now an ambassador, and went out shopping for a saddle in celebration. You aren't certain what significance saddles hold in pony culture, but Rarity seemed beside herself at the proposition.

You ended up heading to a store where you met a stallion named Sal. He lamented the fact no one had purchased the last saddle of his own design, and in the end convinced you to purchase it. Rarity confirmed its value and genuine craftsmanship, and had tears in her eyes as you put it on her.

The two of you set off back for your hotel room, and she spent a decent amount of time teary eyed, telling you how perfect everything is.

But it's not over yet!

Today you're packing your bags back up and taking the train back to Ponyville, since you're out of cash and the reason for your trip is over with. How will Rarity's friends react to the news, or will you tell them at all? Who waits for you when you return?

Only one way to find out! Onward!

[spoiler]I apologize for any railroading that may occur.[/spoiler]

>After spending almost all your cash on a nice saddle for Rarity, the two of you decided that after a few walks around Canterlot, it was time for the both of you to head back to Ponyville. Rarity has work she could be doing, you need to find some income, and there are oh so many people who would no doubt be interested in finding out how this trip went, and what exactly happened.

>It is now the next day, early morning since you'd like to be back in Ponyville before dinner.
>So the two of you pack your luggage carriers, Celestia being kind enough to provide a case for Rarity's new saddle since it wouldn't fit in your luggage without ruining something, and you're both on the train once again.

Opportunity to discuss things with Rarity/miscellaneous before you reach P-ville. Otherwise, we can time skip.

No.32812

>>32806
We'll discuss who we tell first. Perhaps while cuddling. I'm sure her parents would like to know, but that can wait if she likes. Her friends are certainly going to want to know, and we should probably be the one to break the news to Spike.

We only need to ask about how to break it to her friends

Agreeing with having a one on one talk with Spike, he deserves to hear it directly from us and not a third party.

Do we bring up Spike with Rarity? Might be an idea, see if she can help soften the blow with him.

No.32830

Personally, I'd like to get into her mind a bit. Never pegged her for interspecies; as physical as things got, and so quickly, I don't doubt that the attraction is genuine, but it's difficult to believe it's entirely intellectual.

>The two of you are sitting in a forward cab, looking out at the rising sun while you enjoy some coffee and doughnuts, when you wonder aloud what her parents and friends will think when they find out about the two of you.
>Rarity sort of giggles before taking a sip of her coffee, "Well, my friends are my friends. I'm certain they'll be happy, though Twilight may have some questions for you, as she always does." She sets her coffee down and continues, "As for my family….they all seem to like you too. I don't foresee any problems as long as you don't do anything rash."
>Once again she smiles, putting her hoof across the table and gently resting it on your hand, "I still can't quite believe how quickly everything happened, myself. But in the end, I couldn't ask for anything more."

>You still wonder about Spike, and how you're going to break it to him. Also, why did Rarity fall for you so quickly? Not that it matters where you stand right now, it just seemed so sudden. One moment you're admitting you have feeling for one another in a theater, and then after that dinner with Celestia and Luna, suddenly you're getting physical in the hot tub. Again, not that you were complaining then or now.


In the end, it's all the players choice. What will you do now?

>Rarity blushes at your question, removing her hoof from your hand and fidgeting in her seat.
>"W-well, you see…." she coughs, "Oh this is going to sound so cliche, but there was just….something about you when we met. Back when Twilight first introduced us, I remarked to her how….well…handsome, you were. She laughed and made a joke, I can't really remember what it was, but for some reason it stuck in my head. And then you just waltz into my boutique one day, talking about an interest in sewing, asking me to make you things…" she trails off a bit before recovering, "Everything just felt right. But, I was worried you didn't think the same of me. Especially after how off putting meeting my parents might have been."
>"And I was worried you might just not be attracted to me. We are different, after all. And then Celestia herself tells me to just put myself out there and see if you reciprocate, and the whole time I'm worried I'm going too fast, that I'm being unladylike, a harlot, lusting after someone I hardly know, and, and…."

>The rest of the train ride goes without problems, the two of you eating another free lunch and holding one another on a couch or in a padded chair, Rarity nuzzling your neck and chest and looking up at you with those big, beautiful eyes of hers while you stroke her mane and hold her close.

>As you near Ponyville, she reminds you, "I'll talk to the girls when the time is right. Leave them to me. My parents, well, they should be happy too, but I'd still like you to be there."

>That just leaves Spike.



>The train pulls into the station of Ponyville, and the two of you exit the train together, carrying your luggage, to find Twilight waiting on the platform.

>"Welcome back you two!" she proclaims, walking forward to give Rarity a hug and nod at you appreciatively. "Before you ask, I knew you were coming back because Celestia sent a letter. I took the liberty of getting a cab for the three of us, since Celestia mentioned you were coming back with a little additional luggage."
>You thank Twilight for her planning, helping to load the luggage into the cab's trunk. Twilight asks Rarity how things went, and Rarity replies, "Wonderfully, but I'll tell you in detail about it later. First I need to arrange a meeting with my parents."

>The cab drops Rarity off at the boutique without fuss, and she waves at you and Twilight as the cab continues onward towards your home. You and Twilight are alone in the cab, and she tries to break the silence, "So, how was your trip, Mr. Ambassador?"

>Twilight's face contorts into a look of deep thought, her hoof coming to her chin as she thinks.
>"It would have to magically re-draw an image, so I don't think it could do that. Sounds? Maybe, but you'd have to use magic to put them into it in the first place, and not just anypony can do that, although you might be able to access it remotely if you had strong enough magic, assuming you knew how it worked…"
>You snap her out of it by thanking her again, telling her not to worry you were just curious about it. "It was like having an assistant. Very helpful." You look about the cab, as though searching, "Speaking of assistants, where's Spike? I thought he followed you everywhere."

There's a decent chance that our relationship with Rarity might leak at either of these events. And that would just be too cruel to Spike.

No.33137

I think we need to make an innocuous question or two and try and gauge how he responds…rather difficult getting reading when he's relaying information.

Probably go for a basic greet and ask of how he's doing. If he asks, we might have to quickly think of a way to postpone answering or just spill it now.

No.33144

>>33137
But here's the thing. Say we're at the dinner. say one thing leads to another, one innocent question gets interpreted the way it needed to spill everything. Then the secret's out, and everyone knows.

No, it means we'd treat him like an equal. We counted him as an actual "threat" and we'd treat him with due respect. Either gracious in defeat, or humble in victory.

There's a point where the two of you realize you spend more time at her boutique than at your own house, which leads to the inevitable moving in with one another. Sweetie couldn't be happier. Every time she visits from school she gets to play with "the mountain", while her older sister always seems so cheerful and full of energy.
Rarity's parents visit every now and then, to see how things are going, always happy to hear things are working out.
And your private life really leaps forward once you share a residence. Sometimes, it's hard to get anything done, so attracted are you to each other. Those days really are the best, though.
Her friends support your relationship and invite the two of you to their parties and get togethers, always happy to have another friend along for the ride.

It was a pleasure gentlemen
But now we must leave Questanon alone, to enjoy his life

While Questanon cannot have offspring with Rarity, they adopt a cute little filly.

Oh god that would be too much cute.

Alrighty, that's it. Sorry for all the pacing issues and some lackluster writing along the way.

I hope you enjoyed, though it probably wasn't >feely enough.

Regardless, have a nice night!

Yeah, get on my level faygit

All in all, yeah, the pacing for this one felt very different from the Pinkiequest as it had a day-to-day setup that made the whole affair seem very rushed. I liked that you actually had the questers navigate social situations for ultimate spaghetti fun, and threw the players for a loop at every opportunity.

My suggestion for your future quests would be to involve the Mane 6 a little more. They are the best of friends, are they not? Pinkie and Rarity were both taken up in a sort of vacuum, but we all know that it doesn't work like that when you come up on a herd of fillies…

We also play D&D here, just in case anyone cares.

Yeah, the idea was just to make these "quest" things really short, so I was isolating them as a result. Otherwise sessions would be lengthier and eat up more pacing time, but seeing as how I fucked this one up in that regard I'll probably try to incorporate them more in the future.

And best of luck on your LyraQuest, I assume it is going well?

Just vote for it when the next poll comes around.

At least then Twilight would get one vote, instead of none.
