>You wake up in a bed, your cold feet tell you it's too small for your height.
>Someone is standing over you with a damp cloth of you're forehead.
"M-mom?"
>"There, there. It's going to be fine. You just hit you're head is all."
"I had the craziest dream."
>You laugh a little in the dark room when you feel it.
>A hoof is pressing down on your chest.
"A... hoof?"
>"Well of course dear, what else would a pony have?"
>You close your eyes again and take in a deep breath.
"Now when I open my eyes, I won't be dreaming anymore."
>You open your eyes and find them staring at the poofy pink mane of a perplexed pink pony.
>"Hi, I'm Pi-"
"Pinkie Pie, yes I know you."
>"-nkie Pie. What are you, and why are you here? You sure are a strange looking... thing?"
>Here it comes, the endless stream of useless prattle that is Pinkie Pie.
 
"Well, as of yet, I don't even know how I got here, and what I am is a Hu-."
>"A Humming Bird? Silly-willie. You aren't a bird, you don't even have wings."
"If you would let me finish, I was saying that I am a Human."
>"A Human?"
>Twilight Sparkle is standing by the doorway leading out.
>"What is your name?"
"My name is...."
>You dig in your memories for your name.
>"He has no cutie mark, just a blank flank."
>Pinkie has pulled the covers back and it is around this time you notice that you are naked.
>Pinkie giggles as you scramble to pull the covers over yourself.
>Nurse Redheart's expression hasn't changed, but Twilight is blushing and smiling.
>Pinkie Pie is giggling like mad.
>You are just curled up in a ball, eyes wide as you try to remember you're name.
"M-my name."
>Silence fills the room as the ponies around you pick up on you're confusion.
>"It's okay. I'm sure you'll remember it eventually!"
>Pinkie's words do little to encourage you.
>They mostly make you realize what it was you have lost.
>Identity, some might say personality, and the core of your being.
>A name.
>It dawns on you that you have none.
>You came here as a blank slate. A... Blank Flank, as Pinkie put it.
"My name was my identity, and now I have none...."
>Twilight comes forward and rests her hoof on your shoulder, attempting to make you feel better.
"I suppose you can call me Anonymous."
 
>You let out a sigh and roll onto you're back again.
>Staring at the roof as Nurse Redheart forces the other ponies out of the room.
"I've lost control of my life."
>"Tell me about it. They won't let me leave this damn room."
>You jump at the other ponies voice.
>You thought you had this room alone.
>A plum colored hoof reaches around the dividing cloth wall and pulls it back.
>You see her lying there, a sour look on her face and her mulberry mane in disarray.
>Berry Punch, the alcoholic of Ponyville is your hospital-mate.
>"Oh, you're not what I expected...."
"I don't know how to respond to that."
>Berry Punch shrugs and goes back to laying on her back, staring at the roof.
>The silence of the neighboring pony is getting annoying.
"You here cause you drank too much or something?"
>"Yeah. This happens pretty much weekly to me."
>You laugh and sit up, sliding back against the wall to cover your feet in the short bed.
"I'm here cause I got drunk too."
>You shake your head at the thought of how you ended up here and laugh a little.
>You feel something land on the bed next to your hand.
 
>You pick it up and hold it up.
>A Flask.
>"From my special reserve."
>You hold the flask up in salute and she does the same.
"Cheers"
>"What?"
"Never mind...."
>You both tip the flask back and drink deep.
>The purplish liquid hits your tongue and you regret the decision to drink immediately.
>You hardly got a sip before you started coughing like mad.
"Dear lord, this is strong."
>Berry Punch downed her whole flask and produced another one from somewhere and laughs at you.
>"Aw, come now. Ya jus' gotta get used ta it s'all."
>You shrug and take another sip, this one not as bad as the first now that you know what to expect.
>After what feels like a very short time, you are pretty far gone.
>That was some powerful stuff.
>Berry Punch and you are laughing hysterically, you forgot what was funny, but it was funny.
>You come in and out of coherence.
>And finally, you black out.
