Summary: A catch-all for the Kyln / Sierra Madre event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, the entire mansion will be part space jail, part apocalyptic wasteland desert with an abandoned hotel/casino. On the third day an escape route not previously discovered in the Kyln appears and breakouts can be planned...

...Only for everyone to find themselves walking through a large glass prison toward the toxic gas filled wasteland of a desert, the Sierra Madre. Does the prison look better than the toxic cloud outside? If you're stuck in the prison after dark beyond day 3, you'll be forced into and locked in your cell for the night. But at least locked away, nothing from the outside can hurt you. If you try to brave the actual elements in the desert it might be a little hard to breathe. The air has pockets of toxic gas and even a few seconds of exposure could prove deadly. And watch out for the Ghost People.

Inside the abandoned hotel/casino you'll find shelter from the gas and ghosts, but beware the holograms that are 50/50 with their attitude. Prison beatings, a beating from the holograms, which one Would You Rather? And whatever you do, don't try on the collars lying around unless you like to explode. Literally.

[ This is a catch-all for all your prison/desert needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and either a cell number or just a location if you didn't feel like randomizing it or you're making a top level for a public place (like the dining hall or wandering the hotel/casino). Here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun! ]

[He makes a soft, disapproving noise. He really should be a grown up here, he thinks. ]

Given the state of the thing, anything inside is probably expired by now. It'd probably make you sick.

[powerofmabel]

I've eaten my weight in Smile Dip, Sunburst. I have been known to eat candy without even taking the wrappers off. I have put way more gummy worms in my nose than should be humanly possible. I eat raw sugar packets.

[She lays out all of that in a deadly serious tone.] There's not a snack in the world that can best me. [a beat] ...Except the Smile Dip.

[bibliocorn]

...I'm not convinced that's something you should really brag about. ...What's Smile Dip?

[He's asked the question and he instantly regrets it. He's not usually one for Breaking The Rules, but they've already had wrong done to them by being wrongfully imprisoned, so it probably evens out, right? Right?]

I guess I could try kicking it?

[powerofmabel]

Go ahead, and I'll tell you all about Smile Dip.

[She steps back so he can do his horsey thing.] It's this sugary powder and you lick this candy stick so the powder gets stuck to it and then you lick the powder off the stick... And then it gets weird.

[bibliocorn]

I'll be honest with you, Mabel, it already sounds pretty weird. I don't know how it can get any weirder. Does it taste of something else? Make your skin change colour? Is it magic?

[He needs to know. He moves so his back faces the vending machine, giving it a good solid KICK with his back hooves. It doesn't do much- namely because he's a weak-ass little unicorn and not built for this kind of thing. ]

...Hmmm maybe not.

[powerofmabel]

[.... yikes. apparently it wasn't a fluke that four girls beat the crap out of three unicorns. they're just that weak. poor things.]

Mostly I just went to a really bright place where the dogs were made out of candy and I met Aoishima and rode into the future.

[She doublechecks the glass on the vending machine to see if there's even a tiny fracture and decides to spare Sunburst's dignity by not announcing that there isn't.] ...You kinda had to be there.

[bibliocorn]

[It's pretty pathetic, really. He stops, trying to make sense of what Mabel's just told him. Her brain really is a weirder place than Pinkie Pie's, which is a tad worrying. ]

...You know, I really don't know why I'm surprised any more when I hear these stories. I should probably just go with them. I'd get less headaches.

[powerofmabel]

Yeah, you probably don't get crazy things like that in your kingdom of horses.

[From anyone else that would be... completely facetious or sarcastic, but Mabel is 100% genuine. Horses don't have normal people problems.]

[bibliocorn]

Ponies, and we do sometimes get crazy things, but not quite...that.

[At least it SEEMS they don't. ]

[powerofmabel]

Like what?

[She leans against the vending machine.] We're pretty much stuck here until the event ends, and you've heard so much about Gravity Falls at this point. Give me more of those pony deets, Sunburst.

[bibliocorn]

Well.

[He considers. ]

Not counting the villains who try to take over our land once a year or so- we have a whole host of strange creatures and sundry which can cause trouble. For instance, there's a plant in the Everfree Forest known as a Poison Joke. If a pony comes into contact with it, it produces a whole range of ridiculous afflictions; from changing voice tone to body size, shape and composition making a pony only speak in haiku, or ...well, just about anything, really. So long as the results are funny to somepony else.

[powerofmabel]

[She squints.] Sooo basically like the food we get in Wonderland sometimes?

[bibliocorn]

I haven't had any of that food yet, but from what I've read up on- yes, pretty much.

[powerofmabel]

[She pats him on the shoulder.] Wait until one of the holidays. That's when you can't trust the food. Last year I turned into a wolverine.

[bibliocorn]

Like...the little badger things? Could you talk or were you just an animal for a while?

[Because, of course, where he comes from there's a distinct line in what makes an 'animal'. ]

[powerofmabel]

I could talk... and for some reasons the entire mansion was candy, so I kept trying to eat everything with my giant wolverine mouth.

[and then when Dipper tried to stop her, she almost bit him. It was a weird day...] Wonderland, amirite?

[bibliocorn]

Did...did you not think to perhaps stop eating the candy?

[Not to bring COMMON SENSE into this or anything. ]

...Yes. It is a little...unpredictable.

[powerofmabel]

It was an entire candy mansion- a once in a lifetime opportunity. I had to.

[so no common sense is not needed here.]

[bibliocorn]

You and Pinkie Pie would get along very well, I think.

[powerofmabel]

With a name like that, I like her already.

[Wonderland could not stand up to them. It would fall before their friendship.]

[bibliocorn]

I know she'd like you. Pinkie likes everyone. It's what she does- making everyone around her happy.

[The ocean would break in two, everything would fall into the gaping void filled with balloons and laughter. No one would be left standing to tell the tale. ]

[powerofmabel]

It's what I try to do every day. [And speaking of... She gives a dark look at the vending machine behind her and turns away from it.] C'mon. Let's try to find something that isn't terrible in this event.

[bibliocorn]

[He casts the vending machine a look, before sighing. ]

That's assuming such a thing actually exists.
