{RP} My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The Mystery Of Blanktown.

Mitta shook her head. "It was real," she said. "It happens every time, and will continue to do so, as long as the town is under the curse. It'll playback tomorrow morning as well; you'll see. As for how long ago this happened; it was years and years back. The town is trapped out of time, you see. Nopony here can age while the curse operates."

The older pony led the group to the next room, where beds were laid out. "I made these up as soon as I saw you arrive," Mitta explained. "It's not safe to go outside just now, while the pony ghouls are about, so you might as well get some sleep. I'll wake you tomorrow morning; that's when the story replays over again, and we can get some food from the party tables."

Clover was horrified by both the grisly spectacle she had seen, and by the sad story that she had been told. She did not doubt that what Mitta had said was true, but the idea of the town being in a loop was just amazing to her. Still, she'd soon see if it were true. And she was tired.

"Can the curse be broken?" Stargazer asked.

[Miranda_]

"I don't know," Mitta replied. "I can only hope, and try to save my daughter from the mob, but I fail every time. There are just too many of them for me to fight."

"It's so sad," Stargazer said. A yawn escaped despite her best attempts.

This set off Pluto, who also yawned, "maybe we could help?" She offered groggily.

[Miranda_]

"There's no way to help; I'm not about to have a group of youngsters torn to pieces by the mob," Mitta replied.

Clover lay down on one of the beds. "So sleepy," she yawned. "Dunno about you lot, but I'm going to sleep now. We can worry about everything else in the morning."

Neptune flopped onto a mattress as well, "I'm not tired," he said confidently but looked back up at Mitta, "thanks for the beds and stuff though".

[spirit_queen]

Stargazer began to protest that she wasn't tired at all when she fell asleep.

[Cheshire1996]

Pluto began to snore loudly, she was a notorious snorer.

[Miranda_]

Soon, Clover was asleep as well. Mitta gently closed the door as she left the ponies to sleep.

*next day*

The next morning, the sun shone down from the blue sky, just as it was the previous day. The townsponies, now back to normal, were already setting out the trestle tables and hanging out bunting in preparation for the party.
