- The Fate of Anonymous. - 15 - Same Old Rope -
- >'Hello old friend'
- >'It's been too long'
- >You're embraced by the familiar un-dream like state
- >Thrown into a void of darkness
- >The only welcoming place you've ever been
- >This is where you belong
- >Here
- >In this unending sea of shrouds and shadows
- >You feel the elation of the situation wash over you in waves of pure bliss
- >Although it's strange
- >You felt something else
- >A single twitch of regret courses through the area where your heart should be
- >Did Sweetie Bell make it?
- >It was of little concern anymore
- >You'd reached your prize
- >At least that's what you thought.
- >You thought you had finally gotten a grasp on the one thing you yearned for
- >The only thing you ever needed any more
- >How woefully unprepared you were for the following events
- >Because to die this day was not your fate.
- >No.
- >Not yet.
- >You would get your desires.
- >Although not this day.
- >For this day, destiny conspired to bring you back from the precipice.
- >As the light pierced the veil that had coated you, every fibre of your non-existence groaned.
- >Knowing all too well what was to come next.
- >Colour and sounds clash and collide as your consciousness is thrust back into its body.
- >"Is he going to be all right?"
- >"Only time will tell"
- >The only thoughts able to cross your mind
- >'Fuck my unending life.'
- >Blink out of existence as you pass out.
- >...
- >"Can't have you dying before the game is over now, Can we?"
- >"How's he doing today?"
- >"He's making an improvement, although it will be a while before he's out of here."
- >"Ok. If he wakes up tell him I stopped by."
- >'I hate everything'
- >You stir from your dreamless state, eye's slowing creaking open to reveal the flourish of bland colours that could only mean the hospital.
- >'Does Equestria have free health care?'
- >'If not I'm in some serious debt by now.'
- >Your eyelids only open a few centimetres before they become too heavy and droop back down.
- >It's fine really, you didn't feel like getting up and doing anything today anyway.
- >Well, today and any other day for that matter.
- >Think anyone would care if you chose just to not get up? Like, ever.
- >You feel like you're forgetting something.
- >Something really important.
- >Seriously, What the hell?
- >Could it be that Arty has had to fend for himself while you've been in here?
- >No, that's not it, You're sure he's fine without you.
- >I mean, he's a massive creature hybrid of nothing but predators.
- >Actually... Are the ponies safe from Arty?
- >Ponies... Safe... Ponies... Safe.......
- >SWEETIE BELL!
- >A Surge of energy gush's through your body as you practically fling yourself out of bed.
- >Moving to steady yourself with your hand you realize you have none.
- >What?
- >Landing face first into another pony, the horror of the situation takes control of your brain.
- >"WHOAH! Easy there! You're awake? That's a good sign, although jumping on your Doctor isn't advised."
- >You're feet are gone as well
- >You have no hands or feet.
- >Oh god, this is the worst kind of hell
- >"You've made a remarkable recovery. You might be a bit disorientated. Although with the condition you was in we couldn't save you in any other form."
- >You knew it.
- >It only gets worse for you.
- >Never catching a break.
- >You eye your body over.
- >You're a... a.... PONY!
- >'Shoot me now'
- >Oh shit, right, Sweetie Bell.
- "How's Sweetie Bell? Did she make it?"
- >You start to shake the doctor with your hooves.
- >If she didn't make it all the more reason to kill yourself.
- >You might have allowed the death of the only sentient creature to show genuine concern for you.
- >"Whoah! You really need to calm down, It's not good for you. It'll be the death of you."
- >Nope.jpg
- "HOW. IS. SHE?"
- >"She's fine, She's fine. She got signed out only two days after getting admitted."
- >"A real speedy recovery I can tell you that, Although it's not surprising with the Elements of Harmony helping and all."
- >Praise be to your deity of choice.
- >Although it still doesn't subtract from the fact that she nearly died because of you.
- >'Way to put a downer on things.'
- >"You on the other hand, You've been here for nearly a month now."
- >A month?
- >'Explains why I'm so hungry.'
- >You could really go from some fresh crispy hay
- >Hay?
- >Great, you're already craving weird pony food.
- "Could I get something to eat?"
- >"I'll send one of the nurses along in a minute with some food.
- >You allow the doctor to help you back to bed
- >"You'll also need to get used to walking like that until twilight get's back."
- "Back? Where from?"
- >"She's gone to Canterlot to speak with the princess about something. She'll be back in a day or so."
- >Great. Stuck as a pony for a couple of days.
- >As if your life couldn't get any better.
- >As the doctor leaves he abruptly stops at the door.
- >"Oh, by the way, Rainbow Dash stopped by earlier."
- >Rainbow Dash?
- >Why'd she visit?
- >I know she visited last time you was in hospital
- >Although she just wanted to know about earth.
- >Guess that should be your first stop.
- >Find out what Dash wanted.
- >The rest of the day passed fairly uneventful
- >There was one time during the day you had the opportunity to kill yourself.
- >However lack of opposable thumbs made grasping the medical equipment harder than thought.
- >The next day was not quite as "Un-Eventful" as you would have hoped unfortunately.
- >After getting yourself signed out of the hospital you made a V-line straight to Rainbow dash's place.
- >Or at least you would if you had any idea where the fuck it was.
- >Aimlessly walking the street you find yourself stumbling over your hooves from time to time.
- >God dammit it all.
- >Stuck like this for two whole days does not sound like your idea of fun.
- >Although to be fair, being alive in general isn't your idea of fun.
- >As you walk the street you notice all the mares slyly staring at you.
- >A few of them even wink as you feel their gaze hover over your flank.
- >You don't like this.
- >Not
- >One
- >Bit.
- >Here's the plan, First go to sweet apple acres and ask applejack where Rainbow Dash's place is.
- >Second go to Rainbow Dash to find out why she visited.
- >Third, find a way to kill yourself.
- >With a checklist like that, Twilight would be proud.
- >"Well, hey there handsome! I haven't seen you around before, new? Needs some to... Show you around?"
- >Nope.jpg
- >A cream coloured pony with a pink and dark blue mane slowly rubs your chest.
- "Well, I... Oh god, erm..."
- >You look to the left and right for anything you can use for your escape.
- >You notice a mint green pony stood to the left looking sorely uninterested.
- >"The name's bon bon, but you can just call me sugar"
- >You take it all back
- >Pinkie Pie is your second least hated pony.
- "The thing is... I've really, got to... Go. Do stuff... Elsewhere, not here... Far from here, Never here."
- >"Well if you're going so far away, perhaps a parting gift?"
- >That pony actually just bit her lip.
- >No. Never. Nope. Nein. Nicht, Nuh-uh, No way!
- >"Ugh, Come on bon bon, He's clearly not interest, let's just go shall we?"
- >Right now you could kiss that mare. You won't, but you could.
- >"Just because you're more interested in that weird human than you are stallions doesn't mean that I am."
- >Actually no, You would not kiss that mare.
- >"He's not weird! How could anything with such perfect hands be weird...."
- >You don't know what's creeping you out more, the fact that this pony is hitting on you now, or that the other one has a fetish for your hands.
- >"Anon!? Anon! Get over here! Sorry gals, This stallions taken!"
- >Bewildered by all the events taking place you manage to stumble over your own hooves as you turn around to meet the source of the voice.
- "Applejack! I was just looking for you."
- >"Really? That's a good thing too sugarcube, cause I was just thinking 'bout you."
- >Just like that, all preconceived notions that she was going to save you, fluttered into the wind.
- "I... Just need to know where Rainbow Dash lives."
- >Applejack is giving you the best bedroom eyes you've ever seen.
- >"Heh, how 'bout I show you where I live, we could get... Better acquainted in the barn."
- >"Now hold on! I was here first, he's mine!"
- >The cream pony steps forward to confront Applejack.
- >Quite frankly you hope that they end up killing each other. Or you. Either ones fine.
- >"You wanna tango little missy?"
- >Why are all the mares so god damn crazy.
- >"What if I do!?"
- >"Trust me, you don't wanna mess with one of the apple family!"
- >"When I'm through with you you'll be apple sauce!"
- > You're astounded with the leap made by the small orange pony.
- >Also a little bit frightened at how quickly the fight was over.
- >With almost one swift blow the cream pony was knocked unconscious.
- >Cautiously the mint green pony picked up her friend and began to drag her off.
- >Making sure to never break eye contact with Applejack.
- >Better leave while she's distracted.
- >At a full sprint you head for the nearby bridge, crossing the river.
- >"Oh no ya don't!"
- >You're now eating dirt.
- >Oh look, it's the same rope that failed to kill you nearly 3 months ago.
- >Now it's being used in a sexual assault.
- >By a Pony.
- >Against you.
- >Swell.
