>You are anon
>One day you were on top of the world, free wheeling that forklift, moving stuff around
>Next day you're in cartoon world of intelligent farm animals with giant eyeballs.
>You can't remember exactly how you got here, you still wonder sometimes if you're just in a coma, dreaming forever and ever.
>Of course, pinching your skin reveals that it's probably not the case. 
>You now live in a small apartment complex in a rather depressing corner of manehatten.
>Over the past year you managed to find low paying manual labour work. Due to the rather low value of land in this corner, you were able to rent this apartment for fairly cheap.
>A loud buzzing noise rings through your ears and wakes you from your dreams of climbing Everest with a panda bear.
>7am, time to get up for work... again.
>You crawl out of bed groggily 
>You think to yourself, why can't I just have the day off?
>Oh wait, I don't do anything on my days off anyways.
>Having no computers in Equestria has been infuriating. Playing videogames, downloading music, and arguing over nothing on forums are all gone forever.
>You eat, shit, shower, and brush your teeth. You leave your room, and start to trudge leftwards towards the elevator. 
>As your pass by the first room to your left you see that the doors open.
>You quickly peak in, it's completely dark inside and garbage is all around on the floor.
>Taking a closer look, the furniture is for some reason placed all around the center of the living room. All the walls appear to be completely devoid of anything near. 
>The Morning light is just peaking through the 3/4 drawn drapes. All the lights, off.
>Should you close the door for whoever lives here? 
>You suddenly realize that you never did introduce yourself to your neighbours.
>Feeling a bit guilty, you remember that you're a different species from them. And in this sector of town, some of the ponies may not be so friendly.

>Upon further thought, you recall that you've only ever seen one pony ever on this floor. 
>He didn't even look at you when you said hello.
>You reach out for the door handle.
>As your about to close the rectangular plank, you spot two brightly lit eyes peering at you from inside the room.
>nope.jpg
>You quickly shut the door and fast walk down the hallway.
>Nothing else notable occurs during the work day. A long shift, lot's of lifting, lot's of ponies asking you to reach something for them because you're the "tall freak."
>Getting home as quickly as you left, you leave the elevator on your floor.
>You remember this morning's freak out you had. You quietly walk towards your door. 
>You jolt, the same door is open as before. 
>Contemplating whether to bolt by, or peak in again. Your curiosity gets the better of you. 
>The evening sun was shining outside. But it appears the resident's drapes are completely shut.
>However, there is one light on inside. It's smack dab in the middle of the living room, on top of an inaccessible dresser. 
>"Hi, do you wanna come in?" 
>You freeze, somehow you didn't hear the hoofsteps coming from the elevator.
>Looking to your immediate right, you see a dark skinned pony shuffling her front right hoof around in circles, looking at no where in particular.
"Heeeelllooooo!"
>She looks at you with a confused expression
>Shit, that was pretty unconvincing 
>You look into her eyes briefly
>Woah dude, do they have contacts in Equestria or something?
>She switches her view towards you again, then back at no where important.
>"You look like your interested in my room"
"Ah" you blurt out, "uhh yeah, I mean the door is open and stuff."
>You chortle out a chuckle and a half.

>She looks at you briefly again, then diverts her attention to her doorway.
>"S-sorry about that. I'm pretty forgetful."
>Not very convincing
"It was open this morning too you know? I wouldn't leave my door open or even unlocked around here."
>Flustered, she argues back, "Well I wouldn't go peeking in other people's rooms like some pervert!"
>How is it perverted?
"Maybe you shouldn't give the invitation to a random stranger then"
>She stomps her front hooves and gives you a failure of an evil glare.
>Accepting defeat, she changes the subject, "so what the fuck are you exactly?"
>Feels like you got slapped in the face
"I'm a human. Very rare in these parts I know. Thin hair except on the top of the head, bipedal. Surely uninteresting."
>"Oh, well you are pretty ugly."
>Lol what a bitch
>Before you can respond, she adds on, "Sorry. Wanna hang out?" 
>U wot
"I just got home from work, I kinda wanna relax for now."
>She does a little pout
>"Well can I relax with you?"
>Does this bitch know what she's saying?
>Deciding she may just be an idiot, you sigh and say sure.
>"Cool!" She immediately charges towards your door.
"You know where I live?" 
>"Um yeah? I've seen you walk in and out before kek"
>Kek? Never thought you'd hear that dumb meme spouted again
>Oh wait there's no internet here 
>Suspiciously, you open your door for yourself and your strange guest
>She walks in, looking around with a curious expression.
>Wondering if she's gonna try to rob you now or something equally criminal, you get a good look at her from behind, not having to worry about her gaze.
>Her wings look a lot different from normal pegasi
>Tuffs of fur coat the top of her ears.
>Cutie mark is the volume control on a computer with either clouds or semen around it.

>"Enjoying the view?" she snickers. 
"Huh?" 
>She shakes her head and continues to trot around your house without much care.
>You sit down on your ripped up couch you bought for next to nothing.
>The mysterious guest comes out of your bedroom and and jumps on the couch next to you.
"Sooo... Meet to your approval?"
>"Your place sucks." 
"Then you can leave," you snap back.
>Avoiding her gaze, you pick up some papers off the coffee table and begin to read the headlines of Equestria's latest news.
>"Sorry.. I didn't mean it," your couch buddy murmurs. 
>Dropping the papers, you turn to her.
"You know, people don't always like it when you treat your opinions as fact."
>Satisfied with yourself, you get up and head to the kitchen.
>Time for some motherfucking salad 
>Having no meat to devour is painful here
>After preparing some Ainsley tier goodness, you return to your couch buddy.
>She's still sitting on the couch, looking nowhere, not doing anything.
>You sit down beside her and take a crunchy bite.
>"Is that salad? Ew."
>If this bitch don't shut the fuck up.png
"Got a problem with it?"
>Startled, she regains herself quickly and retorts
>"Vegetables are awful."
"I *think* that vegetables are awful." you correct her.
>"Then why are you having them?" 
>Are you kidding me
>You decide to change the subject
"So what's with your wings? Why are they so different from the other flying ponies?"
>"What?" she responds, "Do you not know?"
>Is this a setup for some bad joke?
"No, tell me"
>"keke, I'm a bat pony!"
>Terrible, just terrible.
"Yes and I'm superman."
>"Super. Man?" she looks at you puzzled.
>Sigh

"Well if you don't want to tell me about your wings you don't have to I guess."
>"But I just did..." she remarks, looking back at you even more puzzled.
>Bat pony. Is that like a 5th race of them or something maybe?
>"See!" she opens her mouth wide, revealing two long and thin teeth.
>Dude what.gif
"Bat pony?"
>"Never seen one of us before huh? Or maybe you just didn't bother noticing."
>She smiles as you continue to look at those two teeth.
"Hmm, well that's neat. So like, what's different about you from pegasi besides the obviously different wings. What are the teeth for?"
>her smile turns to a frown. 
>"I guess I shouldn't have showed those. Well we hate the sun, and our eyes are different. Oh and we eat meat." 
>Your stomach flips
"MEAT? Where do you get meat from?"
>Briefly frightened, she responds, "I well, catch it."
"What do you catch?"
>"uhm, little pests. You know, like bugs and whatnot." 
>Absolutely disgusting.tiff
>There goes your hope of eating other animals
"Damn, so anyways what's with the fangs?"
>Shes taken aback and starts fidgeting with nothing in her hooves.
>"Umm do I have to answer that?"
"Yes."
>Frowning, she quietly states, "For.. sucking blood."
>You freeze again. 
>She briefly looks at you, scared.

"So you're a vampire bat pony?"
>"I- I" she stammers. "It's not like I'm gonna suck your blood or anything! Unless you w-want me to or something."
>STOP BEING tsundere
>You laugh in your mind at your epiq reference.
"I don't think I'd want that at all sorry to say haha."
>"What?" she looks at you with watery eyes. "You're not gonna kick me out and never talk to me again?"
>Dude What(2).gif
"Why would I? Because you drink blood? That's nothing. Not going to hate on you for something that you must do to survive. I assume you need to do it to live anyways."
>She looks at you in near shock.
>You smile at her
>"Can you be my friend?" she asks quietly.
>Lol who asks that
"Uhh, sure?" 
>She suddenly jumps up towards you and hugs your side.
>You put a hand around her on her side of her stomach.
>Holy crap thats soft. 
>You realize you've never actually touched a pony anywhere but the hooves yet.
>You begin to rub her fur
>My god this shit is better than Kashmir.
>You look at her face and do a double take, stopping your rubbing.
>She looks embarrassed with red on her cheeks.
>"W-what are you doing?"
>lol anon you dumbass
"Sorry, I just didn't realize how damn soft ponies' fur is."
>She blushes harder.
>You try to defuse the awkward situation
"Want to play cards or something?"
>She looks slightly disappointed. 
>"Yeah sure. By the way your name is?"
>Oh shit how could you not even know each other's names
"Anon." My name is Anon."
>She smiles briefly, then replies, "I'm Echo."
