    Oh yeah, this is going to go marvellous. Three ponies, all of the "act now, think later" variant among an entirely unknown group of people with just enough similarity to the society they are used to that misunderstandings will happen.

    Said bru wouldn't happen to be irn, would it?



    I remain befuddled that people continue to refuse to read the most fun parts of the fic.

    okay i have no clue what you are trying to say

    if it about me not reading the chapter, if i see red i just close tab or maybe scroll down and make some comment about it

    if it about the long wait for these arc to be over with, this ain't the first time you did one of these but it still annoying to see the red color since the Renegade stuff aren't what i came here for

    Is the accent thing here to stay? Because I don’t think that translates very well written down.

    Mr Zoat, your British is showing.

    It took me a looong time to figure this out. I do always enjoy the accents though.

    No. Travelling earth pony tribes lack the infrastructure to produce Irn Bru.
    Let me just edit the post.

    I'm loving this Glaswegian accent. You've got the phonetic spelling just right, I reckon. At least, it's sounding right in my head.

    Ah, so not G1 Pony towns. What sign of G2, or Celestia Forbid, G3?:eek:

    That's assuming there's anyone to do it.
    Honestly, that explains a lot about Equestria in general. Things like the Winter Wrap-up? Clearly letting things settle themselves is too untidy!

    Ah, eye on the cash prize, eh?

    Heh, Grayven could have done that with less obvious signs. I guess he just didn't feel like it. And her way just told everyone around someone's there.

    First rule of exploring, get an idea of the layout.

    Wonder if it's as pretty as the pictures showed...

    Well, damn. And no, it shouldn't collapse that quickly... Not by itself, no.

    Could be, depending on the local stone quality.

    Huh. That's an interesting way of looking at it. Haven't seen the episode, so I have to wonder...

    Oh, for... You take your eyes off them for one second!

    You assume they'll speak it either? Linguistic drift, yo.

    Huh, she got the teleport spell down already?

    Or mistake them for some kind of shapeshifting monster...

    Not even five minutes and they're already barrel-deep in it...

    Right, objections withdrawn. Big show of scary time.

    Heh, that's a fine sight. Giant pony-shaped monster walks out of a hole in space... and gives you a pleasant greeting.

    Funetik aksents away! Oh, this will be fun.

    Smart lads. Even then, I'd give a pseudonym. Mr. Overdale or the like.

    Time for a quick ring-translation field extension, Grayven.

    Ah, that marvellous Pony way of naming things...

    Ah... The party magician, or its team leader. Hopefully not a slavemaster...

    "Aye, ye culd say tha', missus."

    Ah, understatement, Grayven is thy name.

    Well, nothing like a cup of tea to settle down arguments. I wonder how well Garyven will deal with it...

    Well, the alarm level is still at "Just Fine." With any luck it'll stay that low... Though I foresee trouble if Sunset is her usual charming self. never mind Lightning dust...

    They may well not know that they exist.

    Having known some Glaswegians, I think Zoat's got the sounds right. But I can understand your problem; Glaswegian can be quite difficult to understand at first.

    Would a translation help?

    I love the Scottish dialect, it takes me a second to sound it out sometimes but I always enjoy seeing/hearing it.

    Rough translation for anyone who needs it:
    Who are you, mate?
    Hoof Stomper.
    What kind of babble is coming out of her mouth."
    Where do you think?
    You've come a long way, I'm thinking.
    I'll put the kettle on. You can tell me all about it.

    I think this is the only time the ring chose to do an accent instead of translating directly into English. Heck, it would probably remove the actual Scottish accent and turn it into English. Unless Grayven is intimately familiar with the Scottish dialect for some reason?

    .... The accent they are using is so strong I literally can't understand in the slightest what they are saying. They might as well be speaking Sanskrit and I would have the same level of understanding. It really detracts from the chapter.

    If you're going to write out a phonetic accent, there's no point in holding back. You may as well...

    I didn't too until I figured out that it's the same Paul, just scared af and freaking out, then being a dick as a coping mechanism.

    Would more readable translations in a spoiler or something be possible?

    Cause I think I pulled something in my eye trying to read that.
