Changeling Roundup
Dec. 1st, 2016 11:26 pmNo signs of changelings in Ponyville! Not that they're that easy to detect. At least nopony I met is acting strangely. There are probably still neotenic changlings roaming Equestria, not every changeling is going to believe Thorax's claim that freely giving up love triggers the metamorphosis to the adult changeling form. Still, Thorax's changelings will do a far better job than the Equestrian Guard could do in rounding up changelings. Thorax's friendly changelings is the best possible outcome we could have had under the circumstances. The changelings in the hive know who's in the field and who they were tasked to replace and who the courriers are. The courriers will return on their own to the hive, but Thorax's subjects will have to go out and fetch the dopplegangers themselves. I suspect that many will be resitant to metamorphising and many will have been collected by Queen Chrysalis. With the help of her unchanged neotenic entourage, she will have been able to gather quite a few. It remains to be seen if her nymphs learn the advantage of metamorphising or if she raises an army from the ground up. This is far from over.
