As I walked around Ponyville, I saw Lighteus, he was really exhausted so I gave him some sort of healing magic to make him feel better. He said he was going to stay in Ponyville for awhile. Meanwhile, I flied to Canterlot and visited the castle, I quickly ran off to the library, luckily only I knew a secret path in the library that leads to the secret room. The room was full of armours and weaponries. I didn't plan on using them so I just looked around it, I stayed there for quite a long time.
((I'm back, and the reason I didn't make Twilight go to the library myself is because I don't know where she is, her current emotional state, nor whether she can even move right now.))
Vanellope: I sat, humming a familiar tune, once again thinking about the arcade. When I remembered that Ragna told me I could use Mana to contact anyone from my world. I went up to Mana sheepishly and said. "Hey Mana, can I try to talk to one of my friends at the arcade. Just one thing, how exactly do I do it?"
Mana smirked. "Sure you can, it's easy. All you have to do is grab my horn, and think about whoever you want to contact. You will be talking to their mind though." I smiled, I really needed to know what was going on back home.
Mana leaned down, and I grabbed onto his horn. I started focusing completely on Ralph, until I heard a faint ringing noise. "Hey Ralphie. I have no time to explain why I'm talking to your head, but you gotta answer something for me."
I heard his sweet and oh so familiar voice say, "Vanellope? What is it?" I jumped up and down, and said. "Ralph, how long has it been since the arcade closed." The response came to me as shocking. "Only two minutes ago. Why?" I let go of Mana's horn. Disconnecting me from Ralph.
"Two minutes. I was on the bus two minutes after the arcade closed. That means that no time passed at all." I was happy, meaning no matter how much time I spent here. Barely any time would pass back home. Even though I had been here for around five hours, possibly only a couple of seconds have passed back home.
"Yes!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Everyone heard it and were put off balance.
((Spoilers for after the war. Don't read unless you want to know what will happen to Ragna and Vanellope really badly.
I'm planning on having Ragna leave, and by leaving, I mean He's going to go to the arcade. Which will most likely mean he'll never come back to the RP. Vanellope will stay for a while after, and I will be making a new human appear as soon as Ragna leaves.

Jet-pack- check. Flamethrower- check. Magic converter- check. Self-esteem- check.
Okay, that last one wasn't really true. But the awkwardly heavy metal devices gave me a feeling of safety. Even the magic converter did, though I doubt earth ponies had any magic. Even if they did, like the ones mentioned in books, it should be fairly minuscule.
I was shaking in fear, standing on the edge of the roof. If this didn't work, I'll splatter all over the ground.
"According to the directions, flick the first switch, pull the string, and push the button..." I say the directions to myself, reciting all the words in the instruction book. In a millisecond, fire bursts out of the jetpack, and a feeling of adrenaline goes into my body, and I resisted the urge to excitedly scream.
Ragna: I heard her loudly screech in victory, almost making me fall off of the couch. "What's up Vanellope? Win the lottery or something?" She looked like she was about to burst with happiness.
"No. But I just realized that time passes by so much faster here than in my world. Meaning that if I go home in two weeks or so, it'll only have been like two minutes there. Yeah!" She did one last jump in the air.
I had a feeling in my gut, almost as though I belong in this arcade place she keeps talking about. When I realized something, back when I teleported here my first day or so. I remembered going through some sort of tunnel, with all of this electricity around me. Then I suddenly appeared here, with no past memory besides my story. I must have belonged to this arcade, or one similar to it. Now I know my goal, to get back there.

Personality: She is shy, and doesn't talk to many people simply due to that fact. She's hard to really tell what is going on in her head at any given moment, as she is good at shifting her emotions and behaviours to fit her surroundings.
Special Ability: Shifting her behaviour depending on the surrounding. (She can be increasingly passive, fade into the background, etc.)
Backstory: Her parents were both big play-writes, and as such named her after one of the characters in an old play. She was pampered, and taught to stay in the background. One day, she returned home to find that her parents had been thrown in jail for copyright infringement, and she was to be sent to an orphanage. Instead, she ran away to Ponyville, hiding her past so noone could force her to leave.
Misc.: Her parents copywrote from Cupcakes. Also, she enjoys long walks on the beach.
((ACCEPTED! You are accepted! not big surprise!))

You were a good section.
Ragna: I went up to Vanellope and asked her my important question.
"So how exactly did you get here again? Were there any special types of pre-requisites or something you had to do?" She looked confused.
"Pre-requiwhat's, I don't understand, but all I know that happened was that I was in the little train that takes from your game to Game Central, and then bam! Electricity and sparks everywhere. Then I ended up on a muddy street corner."
I listened carefully and said.
"Yes, that must be it. Electricity. All I need is enough focused electricity and I'm back home." She looked at me weirdly.
"Did you suddenly grow brain cells or something? What was that all about? I've never heard you say anything that smart before." I smirked.
"I guess you could say I've grown brain cells. But now, I need to fulfill my promise to Mana. To help him and all of the others end this war, and bring back peace. Then, I am truly free to leave." She kept doing her same jaw-dropped look.
"Listen, you might want to tell him all about your plans before you do them. it could end pretty badly for him, if all of a sudden you just disappear. He looks pretty attached to you."
I nodded, that is true. I needed a way let him allow me to leave once this is all over.

After a long time at library, I decided to leave. As I left the the castle, I also took a secret book from the secret library, it is not an ordinary book, it is a magical book, the pages are all blank, but the magical thing about it is that whenever you think of something, you open the book and all information about it will be shown. A writing will appear in the book about the information that you want to know about. There is also some pages that was locked, yes locked, once you reached a new level or is improving, a page will be unlocked showing new legendary spells. The book can't be open by any other ponies, whoever touch it will cause damage to themselves. "Why can I hold it?". I felt a bit suspicious that I could open the book. "Probably, maybe because I was just lucky...I think?". I also felt happy and special that I could open the book so I spent a lot of time messing with the book. There were tons of page that weren't unlocked so it looks like I had to level up.
Vanellope: The storm was starting to get less powerful over here. So I put my hood on and snuck outside. I started to dance in the rain, and taste it on my mouth, When I realized that this wasn't chocolate like we usually had in Sugar Rush, It's actual water. I danced much more now, letting the cold and dampness embrace me, it was like living freely again.
By the time I was done with my dance, I noticed that I could see the house far off in the distance. "Have I been dancing for that long?" I thought to myself. I shrugged it off and went back, smiling and giggling. I finally experienced a storm like I've heard and seen about outside the arcade. I went around to the back entrance, because if they saw me all soaking wet I would probably get scolded at.
"I need a way to dry off quickly, a hair dryer should do the trick, But I don't know where one would be in this huge place." I began to look around, tracking mud and water over the ground.
I found a restroom and clambered inside, and out of the corner of my eye seeing a crude looking hairdryer. "Must have made it himself." I said quietly. I picked it up and turned it on, it worked perfectly. Now I only had to sit here for the next thirty or so minutes to dry off.
Ragna: I started to hear the thunder die down and move onward. It was good to finally hear the soft pattering of the rain without the boom to follow it. Then I started to hear a knock at the door. I moved towards it and opened cautiously, one hand on my sword. I put my head through a little slit and checked what was a pony for numbers of any sort.
"Who are you?" I said intimidatingly. The pony backed off a bit and said. "I need a place to stay for the night. Would you be willing to house me in this large place you have?" She must have mistaken me for the owner.
"I don't own this place, but if I did I wouldn't let you to stay here. But I'll see what Mana says." I went over and woke up Mana from his 'Magic nap' as he calls it. Mana immediately went to the door and whispered so I wouldn't hear, he then let the pony inside. I recognized her as the pony we met a long time back.
Hot Rod woke up and saw her saying. "Hey Hawk Hoof, Long time no see. Hows it been going over at the foot of Canterlot?"
She looked downwards and said. "I am the soul survivor of our village. Everypony, even the fillies were all killed or used for clones. I was lucky to escape their caravans by hiding in the forest. There were others, but they were killed by wild animals and the like. So I came here to look for you guys."
I frowned a little bit. No one should feel the pain of loneliness, or being the only surviving creature, I spoke up saying. "How many were there?" She looked at me with tears in her eyes, saying. "There were only two. One of them was so incredibly fast she was able to kill whole rows of ponies in a second. The other one was a shapeshifter. She was able to transform into different ponies to kill you secretly. I couldn't tell if they were clones because of how fast they came and destroyed everything."
I saw Mana fuming with rage. "How dare they!! They kill innocent lives, and destroy towns. What gives them the right?! What's their purpose for doing all of this? Revenge? Total domination? Whatever it is, it's not worth all of these dead bodies on their soulless consciences." Mana went over to a couch and started to punch at it as rapidly as he could. I could feel his pain, along with hers. Then I was reminded, "Where's Vanellope?" I said. Everyone looked around, and noticed she was gone.
"She must have left on an adventure while we were all sleeping." Interjected Hot Rod. "Or she could have gotten captured." I said. Then we heard a small banging noise two floors up. "I'll go investigate." I said with vigor. I went towards the stairs silently and slowly.

Flare
Flare felt himself meet light. He looked to his side. He was in the library. He tried to move. He felt the splintering in his back. He was covered with blood. He groaned. He didn't hear it. He didn't hear anything. I... I think I'm deaf. He felt a tear falling down his cheek. He sat there. Just waiting for the blood to pool. Let me die. He then whispered. Why...? He whispered louder. Why...? Then he spoke at a normal voice. Why? He said it a bit louder. Why? He started to yell. WHY? He screamed. WHY?! He slammed the floor. WHY?!?!?! He couldn't hear it. He just fell back down into his pitiful state.
((There. I typed that yesterday and it got deleted.))
((Okay then, better get working on the next post, as Flare just game Quartz a very loud prompt to wake up. If Twilight is also in the library, then her too.))
Hot Rod: As Ragna was snooping around upstairs, we were catching up on current events with Hawk Hoof. That's when I heard a knock on the door and went and opened it. Finding the Alicorn from earlier today standing at the door. I was a bit surprised, but I allowed him to come in.
"Come in friend. You look like you've had a good days rest. By the way, I don't think we've formally met before. My name is Hot Rod, son of Iron Rod. I'm pleased to meet a part of royalty."
Vanellope: I started to hear footsteps around where I was. The hairdryer was way to loud and would obviously give me away. But I needed to dry off for just a little more. I turned it off and looked for a place to hide, and noticed a poorly nailed grate and took it off, hiding myself in the heating vent.
I saw Ragna come into the room, investigating almost everything. Luckily he didn't check the vent and went back downstairs. I got back down and started up the hairdryer again. "Just a couple more minutes and I should be good." I said to myself cautiously.
I noticed the door was wide open, and across the hall from where I was, was a little bedroom. With a large window, overlooking the entire town. I was mezmerized by it, and went over to the large glass wall.
I was perfectly dry now, and I put my licorice bowtie back in my hair.
The room was incredibly dusty, and the wallpaper was coming apart and peeling. There was a sweet smell of candy in the room though, which made me feel right at home. I looked away, and went back down the stairs to the second floor, and listened in on the conversation that they were having.

((I think twilight is gone somewhere. I crashed through her windows and broke her table, threw some books and slammed the ground. She hasn't come out...))
Mana: "We don't mind really. Stay as long as you want, we have plenty of bedrooms on this and the second floor, don't go to the third though. I've been reserving that one for quite some time now." I looked back at Hawk Hoof, and noticed that she was bleeding where her mane was covering her face. I lifted up her mane, and noticed that her entire forehead looked skinned, with a number of 75 on it.
She moved my hoof and put her mane back down. "One of them marked me, and let me go. I don't know why, but I know that Celestia must've blessed me. The screams are still embedded in my head to this very point, they got louder and louder the more afraid, and lonely I got. I was about to..." I put my hoof over her mouth.
"Don't say a word. I'll get Hot Rod ready on healing you stat." Hot Rod looked a bit frustrated. "What!? Why me? I have no idea how to heal." I gave him a serious look and said. "Seriously Hot Rod? You and me both know you have your bachelors in medical science, and magic. You just are too lazy to heal anypony." He came closer to me, and gave me an angry stare. "The reason that I gave up on becoming a doctor, is because I can't deal with stress. I don't want to know that I hold the difference between life or death, and that it is very likely that one mistake will cost their life." He backed off, and went back to his seat. I sighed.
"Looks like I'll be healing you then." I Brought her into my room, and I grabbed my medical supplies. Reminding me of the time that I had once played surgery with Creme. I shook it off and went back to tending to her wounds.
Vanellope: "Why can't anyone go into the third floor? And who is it reserved for?" I remembered being up there, and the amazing view and dilapidated room. Then I realized, that the room must have been for whoever this Creme lady is. And that she must have been his girlfriend, or probably still is.
I need to ask him why, why he must let such a beautiful sight be used for nothing. I went down the stairs carefully and slowly went to his room. He noticed me and said, "Vanellope, we were worried about you. We thought you had been captured, or even worse, cloned." I remembered Ragna telling me about the clones earlier, and their horrible ways. I did a little begging stance and said, "Mana. I want to know why you won't let anybody in the third floor bedroom."
Mana seemed to just bug out, and stare at nothingness, and then getting angry. "No! I will not permit you to take her room. It's hers, and it always will be. No matter whether she is dead or not, I won't let some wanderer take my sisters room." I saw him start to tear up a little, as the new pony talked. Saying, "Come on Mana, let her have it. I haven't seen the room, and I even know that it probably isn't as special as you think. Just give it to her for now. You want to make me get better right?"
I could tell she was making him have a guilt trip, he started pacing back and forth, and then finally said. "You have to show me, that you will take perfectly good care of her room, and that the rest of the third floor will be clean and tidy as well. Only then, will I let you sleep there."
I jumped up and down excitedly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I ran up the stairs, and grabbed the hairdryer.
"It's time to dust off this floor, and make it a clean slate once again." I got to work cleaning as fast as I could.

Mana: "Sure Night Wing. Although, I'm not sure that the emotional scarring will do the same. I'm just hoping that she recovers from this soundly, She is a friend after all, and I will fight for not only my friends, but all of Equestria, just so that this terror can stop. Also, do you know which pony this number 75 belongs to? I know it belongs to the 75th clone, but which pony was it that was cloned?" I wasn't all to sure about my capabilities as a healer, so I was glad that Night Wing could step in and help.
Vanellope: I used my glitching powers to finish dusting the room in almost no time at all. I went and found some wallpaper in a supply closet, and covered the old dull ones, with the new brightly colored ones. It was starting to come into fruition, all I needed now was more furniture to make the room feel less empty.
I searched around the large living area in the third floor, grabbing a bean bag, and anything else I could lift on my own.
I stumbled upon the perfect mattress for me, saying, "This beats living in the castle by a mile, but I can't help but feel something is missing. I know! I'll ask Ralph... Oh yeah, that's right. Ralph's not around to make fun of me anymore, or have fun with me. I can still talk to him, but it'll start getting annoying to him if I'm calling every two seconds. I need to make the most out of my time here, and who knows? Maybe I'll make some good friends here too... Hopefully."
I spent the rest of my time, just laying down on my new bed. Feeling like an empty husk without him. When I looked outside though, I could see that factory I saw earlier. It was just screaming for me to make a kart and race it around, but I had to wait until it stopped raining if I wanted to make it.
I looked around for things to do, and found in the same closet, an old guitar. I thought to myself. "How would ponies even play this? They don't even have thumbs." I shrugged and grabbed it, admiring it's perfection and the fact that none of the strings were missing.
"Let's hope my practice on guitar hero can pay off, I did get the high score after all." I strummed, and it was completely out of tune, I had no idea how to tune these things, Just play them. "Ragna probably knows how these work, I should ask him." I said to myself. I went back down the stairs, and ran up to Ragna.

I noticed the door was wide open, and across the hall from where I was, was a little bedroom. With a large window, overlooking the entire town. I was mezmerized by it, and went over to the large glass wall.
I was perfectly dry now, and I put my licorice bowtie back in my hair.
The room was incredibly dusty, and the wallpaper was coming apart and peeling. There was a sweet smell of candy in the room though, which made me feel right at home. I looked away, and went back down the stairs to the second floor, and listened in on the conversation that they were having.

She moved my hoof and put her mane back down. "One of them marked me, and let me go. I don't know why, but I know that Celestia must've blessed me. The screams are still embedded in my head to this very point, they got louder and louder the more afraid, and lonely I got. I was about to..." I put my hoof over her mouth.
"Don't say a word. I'll get Hot Rod ready on healing you stat." Hot Rod looked a bit frustrated. "What!? Why me? I have no idea how to heal." I gave him a serious look and said. "Seriously Hot Rod? You and me both know you have your bachelors in medical science, and magic. You just are too lazy to heal anypony." He came closer to me, and gave me an angry stare. "The reason that I gave up on becoming a doctor, is because I can't deal with stress. I don't want to know that I hold the difference between life or death, and that it is very likely that one mistake will cost their life." He backed off, and went back to his seat. I sighed.
"Looks like I'll be healing you then." I Brought her into my room, and I grabbed my medical supplies. Reminding me of the time that I had once played surgery with Creme. I shook it off and went back to tending to her wounds.
Vanellope: "Why can't anyone go into the third floor? And who is it reserved for?" I remembered being up there, and the amazing view and dilapidated room. Then I realized, that the room must have been for whoever this Creme lady is. And that she must have been his girlfriend, or probably still is.
I need to ask him why, why he must let such a beautiful sight be used for nothing. I went down the stairs carefully and slowly went to his room. He noticed me and said, "Vanellope, we were worried about you. We thought you had been captured, or even worse, cloned." I remembered Ragna telling me about the clones earlier, and their horrible ways. I did a little begging stance and said, "Mana. I want to know why you won't let anybody in the third floor bedroom."
Mana seemed to just bug out, and stare at nothingness, and then getting angry. "No! I will not permit you to take her room. It's hers, and it always will be. No matter whether she is dead or not, I won't let some wanderer take my sisters room." I saw him start to tear up a little, as the new pony talked. Saying, "Come on Mana, let her have it. I haven't seen the room, and I even know that it probably isn't as special as you think. Just give it to her for now. You want to make me get better right?"
I could tell she was making him have a guilt trip, he started pacing back and forth, and then finally said. "You have to show me, that you will take perfectly good care of her room, and that the rest of the third floor will be clean and tidy as well. Only then, will I let you sleep there."
I jumped up and down excitedly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I ran up the stairs, and grabbed the hairdryer.
"It's time to dust off this floor, and make it a clean slate once again." I got to work cleaning as fast as I could.

Vanellope: I used my glitching powers to finish dusting the room in almost no time at all. I went and found some wallpaper in a supply closet, and covered the old dull ones, with the new brightly colored ones. It was starting to come into fruition, all I needed now was more furniture to make the room feel less empty.
I searched around the large living area in the third floor, grabbing a bean bag, and anything else I could lift on my own.
I stumbled upon the perfect mattress for me, saying, "This beats living in the castle by a mile, but I can't help but feel something is missing. I know! I'll ask Ralph... Oh yeah, that's right. Ralph's not around to make fun of me anymore, or have fun with me. I can still talk to him, but it'll start getting annoying to him if I'm calling every two seconds. I need to make the most out of my time here, and who knows? Maybe I'll make some good friends here too... Hopefully."
I spent the rest of my time, just laying down on my new bed. Feeling like an empty husk without him. When I looked outside though, I could see that factory I saw earlier. It was just screaming for me to make a kart and race it around, but I had to wait until it stopped raining if I wanted to make it.
I looked around for things to do, and found in the same closet, an old guitar. I thought to myself. "How would ponies even play this? They don't even have thumbs." I shrugged and grabbed it, admiring it's perfection and the fact that none of the strings were missing.
"Let's hope my practice on guitar hero can pay off, I did get the high score after all." I strummed, and it was completely out of tune, I had no idea how to tune these things, Just play them. "Ragna probably knows how these work, I should ask him." I said to myself. I went back down the stairs, and ran up to Ragna.
