- >Day 69+3
- >It's been a few days since your encounter with that Moon Shadow p0ne
- >The more you think about what he told you, the worse it makes you feel
- >He's so young, and he's living out in the woods without a clue of where his parents are
- >God only knows how long he's been keeping up life out there for...
- >It's now 2PM, and having just woken up a little while ago, you go to get some form of breakfast
- >You grab a box of the closest thing they have to Frosted Flakes in this god forsaken world
- >Bringing the bowl of cereal to your writing desk (see:coffee table), you brainstorm some more ideas
- >So far, what do you have 100 percent established?
- >Nightmare Moon is preparing to >rape Celestia with her throbbing horsecock
- >Perhaps you could describe her cock a little more?
- KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK
- >Sounds like someone's at your door
- >That's odd, you don't normally get visitors, and you haven't ordered any packages or anything
- >You set your smut aside and go to answer the door
- >You open the door
- >It's Moon Shadow
- >The hell's he doing here?
- >And why is he squinting really hard?
- "O-oh! Good, I have the right house! U-uhm h-hi! H-how are you...?"
- >"Err, fine, I guess? Moon Shadow, right?"
- "Yeah, that's me! U-uh, I-I don't mean to impose, b-but ah... c-could I step inside? This sunlight is really hurting my eyes..."
- >You nod and step aside, letting him in
- >You close the door and see him rubbing his eyes a little
- "Eheh, I should uh... get a pair of sunglasses when I get enough money..."
- >Actually, you're a little glad you've seen him again
- >It'll give you a chance to apologize for strangling him a few nights ago
- "I just... really wanted to thank you for letting me go and not getting me in trouble, Mr. Sir!"
- >Oh, well... you weren't expecting this. That's kinda nice...
- "I uh... also picked you this flower as a thank you."
- >You see an impressive blue-looking flower
- "It's a pretty rare flower! In this part of the country, you'll probably only find it around the woods where I live!"
- >The p0ne gives you the flower
- >It's very pretty. You should put it in some water as soon you can.
- >You tell Moon Shadow that this was a very nice gesture, but he didn't have to go out his way to do that.
- "Oh, of course I did! My mother always taught me to show gratitude and appreciation when others do nice things for me."
- >The mention of his mother softens your expression for a moment, when you remember what he told you the other night
- >You tell him that you are very sorry for hurting him that night, and it was wrong of you to use excessive force like that.
- "N-no, that's okay, I'm not mad. I-it was my fault, really... I shouldn't have been trespassing at night... A-again, I'm really really sorry for that, Mr. Sir!"
- >Those eyes look pretty damn sincere
- >You can't get over how... strange they are.
- >Same with those bat-like wings of his.
- >You tell him that it's fine, there's no need to worry about that night anymore, and all is forgiven.
- >You also tell him that "Anon" is preferable to "Mr. Sir"
- >It makes you feel old, damn it.
- "Y-yeah, sure thing, Anon! My name's Moon Shadow."
- >"...You already told me that."
- >He stays still for a moment, thinking back
- "...Oh yeah..."
- >This p0ne is a little silly
- "I've never seen anyone like you before! Are you new to Equestria?"
- >You laugh a little
- >You could say that
- "Are you like, a special ambassador or something? Oh, no... wait... If you were, then you would probably be in the capital city with all those important ponies and stuff. Are you living in Trottingham to get *away* from ponies?"
- >That's not too far off from the truth, actually. You have no interest in being a national spectacle. It's why you specifically asked to be located to a town in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
- >"Yeah... That sounds about right."
- >He giggles a little
- >"What's so funny?"
- "Heh... say what you just said again!"
- >"...That sounds about right...?"
- >He's having a merry little giggle now
- >"What?! What the hell's so funny?!"
- >He calms down from his gigglefit
- "It's your accent! It's really funny! It's not like the ponies around here."
- >Your accent?
- "Say something like... Couch, pouch, about..."
- >You say those words
- >He starts laughing again
- "Hehehe! It sounds like you're saying 'aboot!'"
- >Oh for FUCK'S SAKE
- >There's no fucking escaping this shit, even across dimensions
- "O-oh no! I wasn't making fun of you, I swear! I j-just thought it sounded a little silly when you pronounced it like that, that's all..."
- >You roll your eyes, telling him it's fine, and no big deal
- >Maybe it's time to get a little more information about him
- >You tell him that you've never seen a p0ny like him before
- >not with features like his
- "Oh, you mean like my wings?"
- >Yeah
- "And my eyes?"
- >Yeah, those too.
- "Aaand my fangs?"
- >Yes yes, those t- WAIT, what?!
- >He opens his mouth a little to show what he's talking about
- >Jesus Christ, he wasn't kidding
- >A p0ny with two sharp motherfucking FANGS
- >Maybe you underestimated this guy's potential to be a demon blood killer when you were first sizing him up...
- "Well, my kind aren't like normal p0nies. I mean, I'm a pegasus and a pony... but... different. I'm a Lunar pegasus, or a 'batp0ny'. My mother was a pegasus, and my father was a Lunar unicorn, so I inherited his blessing."
- >Lunar ponies? Is that like... a subspecies of p0ny? You've never heard of anything like this before.
- "Lunar ponies learn about this in school when we're young. It has something to do with a blessing that Queen Luna gave our ancestors a long, long time ago, and made us who we are. She gave the pegasi these wings, the unicorn's horns don't spiral and curve upward a little, and all three of the races have fangs and these eyes for seeing at night! We're still p0nies, but... we need some more sustenance in our diet from... blood or meat..."
- >Explains why he was after blood bags from the hospital, then
- >That's pretty nuts, an entire subspecies of carnivorous horses.
- >It's scarier the more you think about it.
- "We still eat like normal p0nies! It's just... we need to make sure we get some blood every so often so we don't starve..."
- >You imagine that's probably made p0nies like him outcasts.
- "Y-yeah... T-thanks again for letting me inside, yeah? It uh... wouldn't be good for someone to see me in broad daylight like this..."
- >That sounds a little ominous. Is he not very popular around here?
- "U-uh... N-no, not really... I'm sorta seen as a... a monster around here... The farmers here don't like me because I've... taken some blood from their livestock a few times when I was really hungry... They've... attacked me a couple of times because of it..."
- >Getting a good look at him in the light, you can see a few scars here and there on his body
- >A couple cuts and bruises look recent
- >You feel guilty for adding to his collection
- "I-it's not too bad... I mean, no one wants to *kill* me, I think... Maybe just hurt me until I go away forever..."
- >That's... really sad, actually.
- >So he's just living in the woods? He doesn't have a home?
- "The woods ARE my home! ...It's been my home ever since... ever since I lost my old one..."
- >He sits back in his seat on the couch
- >His eyes look kinda misty, but he doesn't cry
- "B-but e-enough about me! I-I'm not interesting! I-I wanna know more about you!"
- >The sudden topic shift is kinda unsettling
- >Probably best not to press it
- >There's not much to say about you.
- >You work as a security guard at the hospital, and you live alone in Trottingham.
- >Your life is just as boring in this magical land of candy-coloured horses as it was in your old, disgusting land of violence, corruption, greed, and death.
- >Now that's pretty fucking depressing.
- >Actually... you have an idea.
- >You just got a delicious raise after you rose above the call of duty the other night, when you bravely reported that frightful blood demon.
- >They were paying you jack shit before because they weren't actually expecting anyone to break in.
- >Now that someone DID, they have to start paying you accordingly.
- >You planned on using your new-found wealth to place an order for a nice, juicy sirloin steak.
- >Specially imported, of course.
- >Maybe... just maybe... Moon Shadow would like to join you?
- >The poor guy deserves to be treated to something nice
- "O-oh, r-really? Y-you don't have t-to spend your money on me, Anon... I-I don't deserve it for trespassing the other night..."
- >He's trying so hard to be polite
- >It's really adorable actually
- >You tell him that you're having him over for a nice steak dinner, and you won't take "no" for an answer.
- >Moon Shadow's eyes pick up a little.
- "W-wow, t-thank you so much, Anon!"
- >You spend the rest of the afternoon chatting with Moon Shadow
- >You offer to make you both some coffee, which he accepts with an abundance of pleases and thank-yous.
- >It's really cute how polite he is
- >It baffles your mind how anyone would want to hurt this poor little guy.
- >Your eyes turn to the gift he brought you earlier.
- >The flower is a brilliant blue and very nice to look at.
- >He says that it's pretty rare, too?
- >You ask him what it's called.
- >He takes a sip of coffee.
- "Oh the flower? It's called Poison Joke!"
- >Ah, you see.
- >You take another drink from your mug.
- >The coffee has now been spat into your lap
- >You frantically wipe your hands on your pants to wipe off any residue that might shrink your penis or give you hairy palms or some shit
- >Moon Shadow laughs
- "I'm kidding! I'm kidding! It's not Poison Joke! It's called a Balloon Flower. I'm... not sure why it's called that... But you can't find it in many other places in this part of Equestria."
- >You glare at him for coaxing you into a snafu like that, but then again, you're the one overreacted like a fucking idiot
- >Really? Wiping your hands on your pants? Yeah, THAT'LL stop Poison Joke...
- >Time flies, and soon, it's time for you to start getting ready for work
- >You remind him that dinner will be in a couple of days when the steaks arrive.
- >He thanks you repeatedly again and tells you what a nice person you are for being so kind to him.
- >You want to tell him to stop plucking your heartstrings, damn it
- >Moon Shadow bids you farewell as he returns to his... "home" in the woods.
- >Again, you catch his scary looking silhouette in the night sky.
- >You're glad he has such a sweet disposition.
- >You put the coffee mugs in the sink, and your coffee-stained clothes in the laundry pile.
- >You head towards the shower, still thinking about what happens next with Nightmare Moon and her cock.
