Aye.

Everyone in favour of a Sekashi fan club, say "Aye."


Sekashi, laughing at one of her stories -Mechstation

AYE!!!

(can't snip a Majina that cute)

It's agreed, then! Majina never to be snipped. Also, a fan club it is. Third order of business is more fanart. Second is spreading funny stories.
Smiled so hard at all the reaction, I think I broke my face
...What would our first order of business be?

[Aonee]

Restoring Sekas's hearing?

[O. Hinds]

Hinds, can we expect to see the chapter in the next, say, hour?

I don't know, sorry. We're finally making good progress, but we've still got work to do and Somber's mother has been interfering a lot tonight.

[NoodleNugget]

Aye, but Boo and Stronghoof are best-er imo

Cake will save the wasteland!

Can't properly express how much I like this (Bottlecap is an awesome character). Can I make that my signature?

Aye - Sekashi fanclub is a fine idea. I actually still need to draw her (in the 5th spot on my to-draw list)

And of course, feel free, to use it if you'd like.

Wow, according to the brony personality quiz I am most
similar to Twilight. Close second Fluttershy. The rest are miniscule in
comparison.

I just took it this morning, still max rating at Rarity - but apparently since the last time I took the test, I've lost all of my Loyalty...

Here, a Sekashi story.

Have you heard her tale of how Ananzi was turned into a spider?

as I recall her saying,

Ananzi was a young zebra stallion who amused God because he was quite resourceful and could wiggle out of problems in unexpected ways. He became God's favorite and because of this became quite boastful.

One day he was swaggering through the forest and caught eye of a ram. He kicked a rock at it and killed it. He realized that this was God's prized ram and knew that God would not forgive him. He looked for someone to blame and got an idea. He tied up the ram and hid it in a tree.

Ananzi then found a spider and directed it to the tree, telling it that the tree was plentiful fruit and he was willing to share if the spider would help him knock them down. When Ananzi and the spider started shaking the tree the ram fell out. Ananzi started screaming and yelling saying the spider had killed god's ram. the spider was so confused he could not say a word.

So Ananzi ran to God and told him that the spider had killed his prized ram, tied it up in the ropes it spun and hid it in the tree. At first God was very angry at the spider, but then God's wife asked him how the small spider could have killed and gotten the much larger ram into the tree. God realized that Ananzi was tricking him and grew furious with Ananzi. God pushed Ananzi back down to earth. Ananzi fell so hard that he broke into many pieces and became a spider.

Ananzi did not learn his lesson for he continued playing tricks on unsuspecting zebras until a young filly got the better of him, but that is another story.

I keep getting high Rainbow Dash on that quiz... when I'm more of a Rarity. Still, I was high in everypony except Twilight and Fluttershy.

[Paper Airplane]

Will we be seeing a new chapter tonight? Sweetie Belle

[SilentCarto]

Somber's back early and we are brushing now!

In related news, we have removed "a dozen pegasi and earth ponies around a banner of a yellow satellite dish on a black field. All of them wore the dashite brand, even the earth ponies. I wondered if Psychoshy was originally from them." from Chapter 25.

I don't even remember what this is referring to. Was it one of the gangs in the Arena?

Everyone in favour of a Sekashi fan club, say "Aye."

"Sekashi's Storytime". Aye!

[O. Hinds]

PHCC, it is my pleasure to announce to you that Chapter 44 is at long last live!

[Guest]

"Sekashi's Storytime". Aye!

What about captain Thrush story time? I wanna hear her drunken river tales.

[CamoBadger]

And now the thread dies for about 2 hours, and then explodes in a burst of light and kills the entire site in the fallout.


I'm ready

[Scyto Harmony]

YESSS! *hugs*

shit.

[Moodyman90]

Welp, this is gonna be fun haha.

[Ketchup]

Tomorrow, the epicness retrieving process of reading PH shall commence.
I plan on sleeping tonight before a 4-day weekend.

[WavemasterRyx]

I'm glad you guys were able to get it finished Hinds - my sincere thanks to you, Bronode, Snipehamster, and Somber for all your hard work. *hugs you all*

I really wish I could read it tonight... *sighs*

[Guest]

So much for productivity! Time to break out the metal and the coffee.

(Thanks for making the time to get this one out to us, editors and author!)

[Aonee]

Am I the first one to actually have made a post after having read the new chapter?
I guess I'll keep it spoiler-free. Nah, screw it.

Spoiler:

[Farnham]

So, I just read the chapter and felt the irresistible compulsion to comment.

Spoiler:

[Derpmind]

Freaking.... Somber, I know that some people are ridiculously impatient, but if it took an entire month for a chapter of PH to come out, I would be completely fine with it. Every chapter is literally novella length. The only reason to complete chapters so fast is basically because, sometimes, you can.

In other words, you're both extremely capable and absolutely insane.

[NoodleNugget]

another great chapter(arent they all?). I was so happy for blackjack to *ahem* gain control of herself, i literally started clapping. i like happy blackjack. Also Stygius is now on an equal level with Boo(aka they are the greatest things since sliced bread).
Good job Somber, good job

νυχτερίδ πόνυ = bat pony in greek

One small note: unless you're confirming it (in which case yay, thank you!), that translation is only as accurate as some fiddling around with Google Translate and the Greek Wikipedia could make it. Accuracy is not guaranteed.

[Jeremyrush]

Fuck yeah, chapter 44. Time to show this fourm what real posting looks like.

Spoiler:

[WavemasterRyx]

Well, I "finished" this just in time for when I needed to get to bed to be ready for the stupid dentist visit tomorrow... Forgot fine-print stuff (probably) so I'll add that in tomorrow as soon as I can.

But I hope this is close to what you guys wanted for the propaganda poster, as I said, I don't really do propaganda...

Somber, you know how we keep saying that we don't mind that you take more time than you plan to get these things out? We mean it. If you can keep the schedule, good. If you need to push the release back, great! It just means that the chapter is that much better than it would otherwise have been. Likewise, don't worry about length; I said this before, but it only gets too long when you start forcing more than the story needs (and you have never once done so) or when you start burning out. This chapter may have been able to been told in less words, but it wouldn't be the Project Horizons we love, or the Somber we all, I believe, regard as one of the best writers within or beyond the fandom. Thank you for creating this...to call it a "story" would be doing it a disservice. This masterpiece.

Alright just finished the chapter. I'll just put my thoughts behind a spoiler tag.

Spoiler:

[O. Hinds]

"Tenebra" Latin for darkness.

Oh. I say, you're right; I'm rather ashamed for not noticing that. Very interesting… I'll have to check with Somber to see if it's a mistake, just a name that whoever names batponies thought sounded nice, or… significant.
Of course, I probably won't be able to tell any of you the answer I get.

after Twi named the Pinkus Pieicus

Hahahaha! What do you think of that, Bronode, eh? You might have gotten Somber to give the metric system to Fancee, but there's not much argument you can make about this, is there?
…Though I'm not sure that Bronode will see this message, actually.

And besides, Stygius is cute! Now he just needs to find something to shoot Blackjack with

Oh, but he already did that, if you catch my meaning.
…
Hey, don't look at me; the joke was Somber's idea!

[WovenTales]

Yes, but will it count? I'm not going to consider the application to join the party formalized until some piece of metal travels at high speed along a flight path that originates close to Stygius and passes through whatever passes for Blackjack's flesh. Though it might be interesting to see the differing dynamics of the only companion to not point a gun (metal sort) at her...nah, let's test that with somepony else.

Honestly, though, I'm sure Somber has a plan already, and it's probably many times better than anything I can come up with. And if that plan involves our new favorite batpony leaving, well, I might not be as immediately happy, but I'm sure the narrative will work out better for it.

Edit @guarddogjr: That is an amazing signature. I just wish that I had thought of doing the same early enough that using something similar would be more than a poor imitation.
