- >Day…you can’t remember what day it is.
- >You are… you can’t remember who you are.
- >Fuck. What CAN you remember?
- >…
- >Fuck.
- >Your eyes begin to weakly flutter open, and blurry bodies begin to take shape.
- >Gazing around, you can see that you’re sitting at a conference table, and that you’re not the only one here.
- >7 others are the table with you:
- >A brown Earth filly,
- >A plum-colored Earth Stallion,
- >A Diamond Dog,
- >One of Canterlot’s Pegasi Guards,
- >A tiger,
- >A Pegasi wearing a weird hat,
- >and a lumpy thing that smelled strongly of vinegar; all of them, including yourself, are chained into your seats.
- SHIT!
- >There goes your Vow of Silence; it’s a shame too…you were almost on 15 years.
- >As the others begin to stir from your less than polite wake-up call, you can finally remember your name: Monk.
- >Everyone begins to struggle with their shackles.
- >The two Pegasi try to use their wings as lock-picks, and you try to use magic to get everyone out.
- >For some reason, seeing a magicky glow sets off the little filly.
- >”TWILIGHT?! LET ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR YOU CRAZY BITCH!”
- >”Slasher?”
- >SS: ”…Disc?”
- >J: ”Jchallo!”
- >D: ”SHUT IT, J-jec-jesh…”
- >J: ”Jchallo.”
- >SS:”SHUT UP! TWILIGHT WILL HEAR YOU!”
- >NP: ”Guys; we all need to relax, and then we’ll figure out where we’re at.”
- Who are you?
- >NP: ”I’m Neil.”
- Never heard of you.
- >NP: “Neil Peart…from Rush?”
- Still doesn’t ring a bell.
- >NP: ”I’m a Canadian with a funny hat?”
- Ohh! That Neil!
- >J: “Neil!”
- >D: “Peart-y Neil!”
- >SS: “DID TWILIGHT PUT YOU UP TO THIS?”
- >A voice, one that’s all too familiar, begins to speak over the sound of turning gears.
- >FS: “Don’t w-worry my little Slasher. T-twilight has n-nothing to do with this.”
- >A large television screen descends from the ceiling, revealing a very familiar looking pink and yellow pegasus.
- >No.
- >It can’t be.
- >J: “Fluttersh-”
- >SS: “TWILIGHT?”
- >The tiger speaks up.
- >P: ”Are you going to kill us?”
- >FS: “No Picklehead, I’m not going to kill anyone; whether anyone dies will be up to you.”
- >P: “I’m not killing anyone you sick fuck!”
- >Fluttershy laughs, and the room falls silent.
- >FS: “You misunderstand me, my sweet love-P-pickle. You see, I’ve come to realize that the reason that none of you want to r-rut me is not my fault…it’s yours.”
- >A collective “U WOT M8?” resounds throughout the chamber.
- >After the din quiets down, FlutterNutter begins to speak again.
- >FS: “None of you c-can love me because you’re all too held back by your own l-lives. I want to c-clean you of your past to make you perfect for me.”
- >D: “And then what? You plan on using us as your personal brothel?!”
- >FS: “Oh no; That would b-be going t-too far. ”
- >A wild memory appears! It’s of Fluttershy checking if you have a scat/vore fetish…in the middle of a crowded market.
- >Everyone else must be having similar memories, because the room is soon enveloped in peals of laughter.
- >Except for Neil.
- >He just looks confused.
- >Fucking Neil Peart.
- >FS: “I’m g-going to spilt you o-off into teams of two; the team that can t-transcend themselves will get to love me and live, while those who don’t will die.”
- >AA: “So it’s like The Hunger Games?”
- >FS: “What?”
- >J: “You’re right! This is EXACTLY like The Hunger Games!”
- >P: “We’re all in teams of two…”
- Only one team can survive…
- >S: “It’s a contest none of us want to take part in…”
- >SS: “AND TWILIGHT”S PROBABLY BEHIND IT ALL!”
- >FS: “IT’S NOTHING LIKE THE BUCKING HUNGER GAMES!”
- >NP: “Of course it isn’t.”
- >FS: “Now these are the teams you will be in: From Distr- Team One is Jchallo and Picklehead.”
- >The tiger and pickle-wolf turn to look at each other for the first time, and strange pink hearts replace their pupils.
- >Jchallo is struggling to pet Pickle’s coat, and Pickle is trying in vain to nom on Jchallo’s neck.
- They’re gonna die fast.
- >FS: “Team T-two is Monk and Alcoholic Anon.”
- >Looking around, you can see what looks like a male Berry Puch…that’s probably Alcoholic Anon.
- >AA: ”SHADDUP YA’ BUDDERFLY!”
- >Was that a stealth pun?
- > FS: “Team Three i-is Slasher Science and D-disc Ward.”
- >D: “Cool.”
- > FS: “And the final team is Smudgey and Neil Peart.”
- >The last two, the Diamond Dog and Neil Peart, eye each other up for a few seconds.
- >S: “Can I wear your hat?”
- >NP: “Sure.”
- > FS: “SILENCE NEIL!” The walls begin to rise, revealing an expansive field of grass and multicolored flowers.
- >The chairs hiss as the pressure keeping them closed is taken away, and the restraints loosen and fall away.
- > FS: “Everyone st-stay with your teammates, the game for life and l-love has begun.”
- >Everyone grabs their respective teammate and runs off into the field, unsure and fearful of how the Yellow Menace may try to clean them.
