Lore: Utterly failing to pursue her goal to develop her multiverse technology and magic on a large scale through every avenue available, Briea was out of funding and relying on an abandoned scrap yard for parts to keep her prototype technology running. With the help of her otherworldly companion, Xander, Briea devised a plan. She would approach a publisher with a chronicling of her adventures in journal format under the guise of the adventures being fiction. The publishers adored the idea of a fictional adventurer inventing multiverse travel and chronicling her adventures, and funded the publication of the first issue as well as a preliminary run of four other issues in the series. they were published under the Pseudonym Beatrice Lulamine Maisiel ---- Beatrice's Guide to the Multiverse: Issue #1; The Post Apocalypse ---- Preface: the Multiverse The Multiverse is a frighteningly alienating concept, Infinite parallel universes with infinite possibilities, and it, my dear reader, is as real as the ink on this page. Four years ago i left everything behind to pursue the concept of the multiverse and it's infinite possibilities, and last year, i learned that same fact, that it very much is real, and i have in fact traveled from one universe to the next. these books will be chronicling my adventures through the universe and it's infinite possibilities. Come with me dear reader and step into the infinite wider universe. Beginning: The Post Apocalypse My first trek into the multiverse was over a year ago, i knew frighteningly little about traveling through the boundaries, and my only way back at the time was building a portal device on the other side. fortunately for me, the first place i traveled to was wealthy with technology, unfortunately for me however, this world was also 200 years into a nightmare scenario, a total post apocalypse. This world was destroyed and feral, and it was rare to find an area of civilization that would hesitate to draw firearms on you, and even less that would hesitate to shoot on sight. fortunately for me, i met a friendly Zebra named Alexandria who was also running from the dangers of the apocalypse. Along the way, i discovered she had knowledge and a device that could help lead me to the supplies i would need to make the return trip home. in return for her assistance, I agreed to bring her back with me to my home universe and offer shelter. On the travels to the destination, Alexandria informed me of what she knew had caused the end in this world, and how ponies had survived. 200 years ago the nations and people of Equis had gone to war over dwindling resources and rising tensions, and it had resulted in the end of the world, or so it would have been had ponies not prepared their survival in great underground shelters. Alexandria was from one of these shelters, and the device that she was given there, a wrist mounted computer unlike any other i had seen, would help us on our journey, in the form of an incredibly advanced map system. the shelter itself she had grown up in would be the source for all of the supplies i needed to build my way home. The journey itself however was not so easy. It required a trek through the infamous everfree forest, which in this universe, was even more devious and deadly, filled with irradiated monsters and plants out to kill us. luckily Alexandria was quick and knew brews to keep us healthy when injury was sustained. It took three days to make it through, and we sustained plenty of injuries on the way, but we survived and we had arrived at the underground shelter. from there it was a matter of clearing out irradiated monsters from within, and getting to work. Needless to say, the journey was arduous and painful, but i would not have made it if it were not for the friend i had made, as well as a guide book i found along the way, which i have attached for your reading pleasure. thank you all for reading the start of my adventures, and i hope there will be many more to come. Do tune in to my next issue, and thank you for reading Beatrice's guide to the Multiverse. ---- Fin ---- Attached in photo scans in the book, was a damaged and dirty copy of a book called the wasteland survival guide issue one (heavily edited however), drawn in crude crayon, but rather informative on how to survive in the post apocalypse. The book was rather largely successful with first time readers, and Briea was able to make a more efficient and enhanced version of her multiverse technology with the small amount of royalties.

OP rpers are an annoyance. I think we can all agree that at some point during our time here on CA we have all met one or more rpers who are all powerful 'gods' who cant be beat. While sometimes the best option is to simply ignore them or to ask them to stop, often times that doesnt work, and an rp dies. However, i am here to offer you a few fun ways to screw with op rpers and mary sues. Let us begin with the op rper. If he enters the chat and starts messing up the rp for everyone, something you should NEVER do is fight back. This is what they want you to do: to get mad and to fight against them because they have no flaws, they can just thanos snap you out of existance. But there is an alternative to this. 1: Just let them win. Now, i am not saying to worship him or anything (that would only encourage their behavior) but i am saying to be weak. If he commits an extremely op move like *shoots massive magic laser at you* dont fight it. Let him kill you. Kill the rp then and there. He will have killed you and whenever he sends another message just say "Oc lies there, Dead." And simply repeat this over and over until he leaves. This is good because op charachters will usually try to revive someone, but by saying that it didnt work, you will put them on the bad side of things. You in a way, show them that they were in the wrong, and that they are the bad ones. 2:Genocide This is much like #1 except there is a witness. The witness calls up some guards, and a cycle is made, where the Op char essentially massacres all of equestria. And at the end as he tries to continue just say "all he can see is a desolate wasteland: what was once home to thousands is now a zone of death." This will lead them to feel guilt, and much like number one, nobody is revived. 3: Be an asshole This is counter to what number one says. Simply copy the op rpers style. Instead of fighting, just dodge all his attacks, and dont fight back. Eventually this will make him annoyed and leave. Enjoy the rage! Now i will discuss how to counter mary sues. 1: be an asshole If the mary sue tries to brag about what not "i am god of equestria and everypony likes me" make your charachter not like them. "Everypony likes me!" "Is everypony the name of your mother?" You ought to retort. Be an asshole, and if they start switching to op tactics, move up to the op reponse area. #2 will be most effective as they will likely have to kill their 'freinds' in order to stay out of trouble. 2: "idc" if the mary sue brags about being so rich and powerful, just say "what does that have to do with me? " Or "idgaf" this will make them particularly flustered and they will try to explain how they saved the universe several times or what have you. Just repeat the process until they call you a little [insert curse word here] and storm off. 3: "wrong timeline" If the mary sue claims to have saved the world several times, just respond with: "nah, that never happened." They will likely repond flustered and say that it did, and try to explain how it happened. Just go "Nuh uuuhhh" over and over again until they get annoyed. If the mary sue at any point turns op, just refer to the options above. this will essentially make them pissed, and have them "REEEEEE". Because you just wasted an hour or so of their life doing this. And you just got some good laughs.
