>The door opens slightly; a teenaged pegasus peeks outFS: "EEP! H-hello?"
BB, whispering: "We gotta act cool, don't let the civvie know what's up-"
"Yeah, we're just three travelers, we heard this place was-"
FS: "Um, I'm not really running a business- in fact I don't really own this house- sorry, please don't tell on me, I just fell out of Cloudsdale and I'm scared of heights and nopony was using this and- OH DEAR"
>SCP-064-D forces entry to the cottage, consuming an entire shelf of cheese crackers. The scratch marks fade amid the distinct sound of recovering HP.FS: "What happened? Did he pick a fight with a longhaired cat?"
BB: "Uhhhhh we just found him like-"
FS: "Oh, you don't have to worry, I can just ask him-"
>Approximately five minutes pass, punctuated with barking and "uh huh" from FSFS: "Oookay so we're all doomed because you decided to break the rules in the most terrifying and unpony place in Equestria. I'll go upstairs and cry now, if that's ok?"
064: "What is she on about?"
BB: "There's places where everything- weather, animal feedings, even... oopsies... happen all on their own."
064: "You mean like natural."
BB: "Yeah, exactly, that's impossible so there must be some big thing directing it- like Nature. Since Nature obviously wanted the dog boxed, and you stopped that, now I guess we wait here for the great and terrible reprisal. Want a muffin?"
064: "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
BB: "Yeah, we doomed all of ponykind to save one animal."
064: "No, I mean we're part of nature too. Stands to reason if we want to save the animal, then nature wants it saved."
>Following this revelation, Bubble Bath's eyes turned in opposite directions and have yet to realign; if the condition cannot be repaired, she is to be honorably discharged with an amnestic tea party.>Fluttershy has been marked as a pony of interest by royal command; given her shyness, it is unlikely that she will pose an information security risk, not that we'd be allowed to do anything about it.
