The Maneless One - “I had a memory in the stables… I think I may have been someone, or something before I became…this. It‘s hard to tell, everything happened too fast to tell.”
Pike - “Not sure what to make from that. If we’re lucky, maybe you’ll remember more over time. We’ve probably got bigger things to worry about, anyways. What‘s ahead of us, for one thing.”
Pike - “This is it. The HUB; One of the less savory parts of equis, and admittedly a little rathole I like to call my home. “
A sight for sore eyes; The Maneless One gazes with greater appreciation at the city of HUB. Although still an unkempt settlement, the sights of the newfound township brings him to an unmitigated halt. The entire city is builtin the shape of a large disc with interlinked alleys and pathways, with the city exits at pointed ends.
Structures soar stories high with incommunicably outlandish designs - Elaborate geometric designs cover the higher buildings, with the minutiae of its periphery seemingly going on forever. Less dazzling than the towering goliaths surrounding him, there are an extensive series of smaller houses spread along the pathway ahead - mostly residential buildings or makeshift shops for the bare necessities of its inhabitants.
Pike - “Alright, so here’s the scoop. If we head along to the right, we can head to the Alley of Lingering Squees; All the arts and entertainment to whet your appetite are going to be around that neck of the woods. If you’re trying to get a feel for the natives, the tacit mare bar to the left path isn’t a bad spot. The marketplace smack dab in the middle has more than enough if you need to pick up some goodies; Trinkets, odds and ends, that sort of thing. Here’s a few coins to compensate for whatever you need. If it‘s alright with you, boss, I‘m going to head home for a bit to take care of some personal business. Considering you took down riddlemare herself, I‘m sure you‘ll manage well enough. If you need to catch me there, keep going past the alley of lingering squees to find the housing district.

You arrive at the marketplace. It is by far, the most crowded area of the hub. Small huts have been built within the central courtyard of the hub as improvised bazaars. You see ponies of all shapes and sizes bustling around you, a metaphorical tempest of bedlam surrounding you.
As you try to make your way around the market, a very young pony inadvertently bumps into you in your attempts to find a vacant shop. Unlike most of the ponies here, she’s immaculate and well-groomed, as well as carrying a large brown basket. With her gleaming eyes staring at you, she lays down her container…
1. Buy some Apples.
2. Refuse, then Steal some apples(Pegasus)
3. Refuse the Apples, and leave.
4. “Who is your Daddy, and what does he do?”

With a contented smile on her face, you place a coin onto the ground, and receive a shiny new apple. She watches you attentively as you take a bite into the apple. The delicious sweetness of the apple is a relief after the pains you have been dealt with. Your vision becomes slightly fuzzy, and in one swift motion, your body slumps onto the unfeeling pavement.
After an implicitly inordinate amount of time, you open your eyes. At first, your vision still remains blurred after your previously soured meal. You can make out the faint lines of her face, and a vague pursing of her lips. She stares as intently towards you, as you her. At last, your vision becomes crisp again. It is riddlemare; knocking her out was apparently not enough to finish the job. Your body is strapped to a primitively-built dais made of jagged stone.
Riddle mare - “You’d caught me at a rather inopportune time during the stables... That crystal you’d stolen from me? It is the means in which my abilities are harnessed. Well, I have it back; And I have you without a means of stopping me. I’ve got very special plans for you, mare. Something I should’ve finished before you’d interrupted my laboring in the stables. Let me show you.”
Riddle mare - “Care for a cupcake?”
She pulls out her hoof to show a pastry with a questionable scent. The cupcake seems to be made of…perhaps it’s better not knowing. She replaces the cupcake in her hand for a very gruesome utensil… your body is subsequently penetrated, and all goes dark. You’re dead. Sorry, nameless. Never trust the puppy dog eyes :/ You can still pick from the previous options, the whole killing off for an entire chapter thing is a bit too punishing, methinks.

I don't want to hog the thing, I want to give others a chance to play. On a side note I'm a sucker for puppy dog eyes.

To her dismay, you swifty throw your head to the side as a blatant sign of repudiation. Her head sinks….and as she does, you swing your hoof in such a way to grab an apple without her knowing.
Unfortunately, despite the chaotic nature of the marketplace, someone spotted you in the act.
Nearby Customer - “How could you thieve from someone so innocent? Have you no decency at all?”
As the customer speaks, nearby ponies begin to huddle around the event…things look rather bleak. The sky begins to rapidly transform into a terrifying red. Above the city, you see an enormous face take form within the atmosphere. It finally alters itself into the head of a fierce-eyed pony with locks of pink hair. The voice echoes like the voice of God himself, every word uttered makes the bones in your body feel ready to break.
1. “That was a promise I never made, as I am…it is difficult to explain. What I did was out of defense.”
2. “I am innocent….you must believe me…”(Unicorn)
3. “Cool Story, Sis. You mind not yelling?”

Lady of Pink - “LIES. PURLOINING FROM THE KIND AND GENTLE IS AN INTOLERABLE OFFENSE. YOU SHALL BE DEALT WITH AS I SEE FIT.

Your body, for a very brief moment, becomes nothing…and then all is back as it was. You find yourself in a breathtakingly built throne room, with elaborate stone carvings covering the walls. On the throne lies the mare which had threatened you with a fate worse than death.
Lady of Pain - “YOU. YOU HAV- wait, what the heck are you doing here? My vision as a floating head of death must have made it hard to see you before. Why haven‘t you started yet?”
The Maneless One - “What do you mean? Started what?”
Lady of Pain - “The brutes I sent you to take out, remember? I couldn’t give a job like this to just anypony, you need to take them out post haste!”
The Maneless One - “Take out who?”
Lady of Pain - “I really need to explain it all again? What are you, an amnesiac or something? Fine. You remember the temple of derpy hooves at least, I hope? Well, a rogue faction has decided her teachings are an insult, and she has to go. They’ve been causing all sorts of ruckus, and the last thing we need here is a lack of harmony. Take them out, and make it snappy!”
And with a wave of her hand, you find yourself in the exact spot you were before. How incredibly confusing. Where in blazes would you like to go now?

You journey forward into the lower-left section of the HUB to find various ponies standing alongside the streets with ill intent. The upsetting atmosphere around here is hindered further by the fact that your exterior is seizing the attention of the entire street corner. A lone thug shrouded in shoddy brown leather comes towards you.
Thug - “Nice mark ya got there, mare. Fancy I carve ya a new one?”
1. Give him a hoof full of trouble.(Earth-Pony)
2. Inconspiciously knock him out.(Pegasus)
3. Ignore him and Move on.

With an uncanny swiftness, the thug lunges at you with a vicious intent. Using your winged abilities, the thief slams unceremoniously onto the street pavement, in which you take the opportunity to knock him out cold with a single hoof towards the back of the head.
With the problem solved, you mosey into the bar. It’s a relatively sparse stretch of nomads, drunken stallions, and other varieties of malcontents. In the center of this room, you see a small mare with its head glaring towards the ground. She seems to either be pondering something that’s beyond you, or sulking over something just as ambiguous.
1. “Hello?”
2. Leave the pony alone.

You like that number, blood.
You leave the pony alone. Unless you want to find yourself between a rock and a hard place, it’s probably best to try going somewhere else. Where would you like to go now?

You enter the alley of lingering squees… the alley is a labyrinth of creative works strewn about the thoroughfare. Graffiti, paintings, sculptures, and countless antiquities of priceless value lie outside. Among the customers there, you notice a very strange breed of pony. It seems to be some sort of hybrid. Its skin seems to be not only unnaturally pale(though not to the extent yours might be…), but appearing very rigid in texture. On its back is a elongated double-pointed rod, which you notice its hue changing on a consistent basis. You approach the stallion.
1. “Who are you?”
2. “That’s an interesting pole. Why does it continually change color?”
3. “Farewell.”

The Maneless One - “Who are you?”
Daa’Hoof - “Perhaps I should be asking you the same questions, mare. I can’t say I *know* you from the HUB, nor the alley itself. I am Daa’hoof, a practitioner of the techniques of Derpy Hooves. However, my days as a warrior are seemingly at an end; I experience what I can of the world while still alive and breathing.”
For unexplained reasons, Daa’Hoof slams himself into a nearby wall. The Maneless One gawks with curiosity.
Daa’Hoof - “You look confused… the teachings of Derpy Hooves will have you *know* that with greater intelligence comes the price of a morose existence. To achieve a jovial path, one must become less attuned to the mind. He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.”
