private Doreen's Music Box

[Nightfall 3,950]

You can hear the familiar melody leading you somewhere.

 

Nightfall stopped moving, almost trembling with a mixture of fear and rage.

"Is this some God forsaken twisted game?! What the hell is going on?!"

He yelled up at the sky, not knowing if he'd get an answer, but partly not caring. He was beyond confused now, and couldn't believe that this was real.

Muttering indiscriminately and unintelligibly, Red picked himself up. He still had no clue as to what was going on, but it was making him more and more annoyed. This whole inter-dimensional jaunt seemed pointless. As he looked around, he noticed where he was. That field. The one from his most successful campaign.

[Addem Up 246]

 

What you saw was rather weird. You saw yourself looking through the keyhole, just like you did. It seemed to be your reflection.. or maybe..

Suddenly, your reflection gave you a grin. You felt two hooves around your shoulders, pulling you to the door. You recognised that those hooves were exactly the same as yours...

The door disappeared in a moment when you touched the door. It disappeared, but set you out of the darkness - you weren't in the void anymore.

You feel like if you've just woken up. You thought that it all was just a dream. The room looks just like yours. You look around, seeing that there's somepony else in a room. A young colt, staring at the TV screen. He seems not to percieve anything, but you can see that he's clicking his tongue.

 

Addem groaned, looking around with an air of befuddlement. He opens his mouth, closes it again, then asks "Who are you?" He trotted up to the pony, tapping him on the shoulder. "Hello?" Addem glances at the television screen as he continues to try to rouse the colt.

[Hex 17]

 

It seemed like there is nothing behind the door. A familiar melody replied. Your sound obviously catched the doors attention. It fell on you with the emply space... You looked around. You are in the middle of a meadow. A green meadow, full of flowers. There's noone.. except.. You see a small pony, he is just about 2 feets tall. He looks very self-confident.

 

"Oh..." she walked forward carefully forward. Sniffing the fresh air and scent of flowers calmed her some, reminding her of her homeland. Taking note of the minature pony, Whisper strode over.

 

"Well hello! Excuse me little pony but do you know where we are?" she smiled.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

 

"Hi!" answered a voice. It was a happy and cheerful voice, but you could feel a scent of bitter irony out of it. "What about a game of chess?"

 

Star jumped at the sound of a voice. "U'm...I...I don't know how to play chess." She said, nervously looking around the room for whoever made the voice. *I wanna go home now...please let me go home.* She thought, beginning to feel a little more scared than she was before.

[Fire Runner 160]

 

The knob disappeared under your hooves. It left a hole in the door. The hole started to suck. At first it seemed like nothing, but in a moment, the flow got strong enough to pull you. The hole got bigger and sucked you in. You appeared in a desert. You can see that there's someone in front of you, walking as fast as you do.

"Hello? Is somepony there?" Autumn called, starting to trot towards the figure.

Autumn started trotting faster and faster, until she was in a full on sprint.

"Wait up!" she called as she lifted of the ground and started flying.

She dashed after the figure as fast as she possibly could.

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

"Ack! My eyes!" Ace said covering his eyes from the bright flash when he lowled his hoof he saw that the world was now blue and gray, everything seemed to slow down even the ponies who were running towards him were slow...wait what?! "Who are you guys?! What?!" He looked down to see he was holding a map. "Wait i'm no scout! i can't even read this!"

You look around. You can see that there is the ocean on one side and the labyrinth on the other side.

You can hear: "You have to find the way out! You are the scout!" and also: "They keep us in to pull us down.."

 

Quip looked towards the machine that had the open doors. He didn't know what else to do but get into the machine. Maybe he could learn something, or bring something back to Equestria to study. But top priority was actually getting back to Equestria.

 

It was rather strange inside the machine, he had no idea how to work the thing. 

You can see a beautiful scenery in shades of orange inside. It's like some kind of other world. You can see the roaming lions feeding on remains in the distance.

There is also a manual on the wall. You can read:

"Happy Technology presents the Playground.. just for you!

Step one: Make a picture in your mind

Step two: Enjoy!"

 

Nightfall stopped moving, almost trembling with a mixture of fear and rage.

"Is this some God forsaken twisted game?! What the hell is going on?!"

He yelled up at the sky, not knowing if he'd get an answer, but partly not caring. He was beyond confused now, and couldn't believe that this was real.

The tune is calming. It is just what you need - a calming, nice sound... You can notice that it comes from a near familiar house, assuming that it is your home.

 

Muttering indiscriminately and unintelligibly, Red picked himself up. He still had no clue as to what was going on, but it was making him more and more annoyed. This whole inter-dimensional jaunt seemed pointless. As he looked around, he noticed where he was. That field. The one from his most successful campaign.

You can see one of the ponies lying on the ground getting up. He has a helm and a gun, similar to the ones that are lying in front of you. He looks in a panic at you: "What are you waiting for? There's no time to loose.. We got to move!" he said, kicking the helm to your hooves. "Put it on!"

 

Addem groaned, looking around with an air of befuddlement. He opens his mouth, closes it again, then asks "Who are you?" He trotted up to the pony, tapping him on the shoulder. "Hello?" Addem glances at the television screen as he continues to try to rouse the colt.

You see the news in the TV. It is obvious that the news is one big lie. You can hear the reporter saying that 2 and 2 are 5.

"It's interesting, isn't it? Good thing I watch TV. It can teach you so much.. like walk and scream." said the colt.

 

"Oh..." she walked forward carefully forward. Sniffing the fresh air and scent of flowers calmed her some, reminding her of her homeland. Taking note of the minature pony, Whisper strode over.

 

"Well hello! Excuse me little pony but do you know where we are?" she smiled.

He replies: "Listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life.. You're only as tall as your heart will let you be, and.."

 

Star jumped at the sound of a voice. "U'm...I...I don't know how to play chess." She said, nervously looking around the room for whoever made the voice. *I wanna go home now...please let me go home.* She thought, beginning to feel a little more scared than she was before.

There is a tall, good-looking and somehow mysterious colt. "Oh come on, it's not the first time. I know you can play. Remember, the winner pays the rent."

 

"Hello? Is somepony there?" Autumn called, starting to trot towards the figure.

Autumn started trotting faster and faster, until she was in a full on sprint.

"Wait up!" she called as she lifted of the ground and started flying.

She dashed after the figure as fast as she possibly could.

The figure in front of you did the same as you. But then, the figure slowed down. You felt that you did the same. You realised that he is the one who controls you. You felt like if you were bleeding, but you didn't see anything like blood.

As you got into the air, the figure disappeared and you also felt that you're not bleeding anymore.

The air feels fresh and nice. You hear the voice: "You can breath today.."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

 

There is a tall, good-looking and somehow mysterious colt. "Oh come on, it's not the first time. I know you can play. Remember, the winner pays the rent."

 

"U'm...w-what rent ? Who are you...what is this place ?" She asked, taking a few steps away from the colt. *This is just getting weirder and weirder by the second. I wanna go home.* She thought. "And...how did I get here ?" She took a couple more steps away from the colt, still not sure whether she should trust him or not.

[Addem Up 246]

You see the news in the TV. It is obvious that the news is one big lie. You can hear the reporter saying that 2 and 2 are 5.

"It's interesting, isn't it? Good thing I watch TV. It can teach you so much.. like walk and scream." said the colt.

 

I frown, trotting over to the TV and attempting to switch it off. "That's not right. Besides, don't you have somepony else to teach you those things?"

 

He pauses, blinking and frowning. "And how did you get in here, anyway? Who are you? ...Where am I?" He looked around. "Something's... off."

Quip was rather dumbfounded at the fact that much a complicated yet simple machine could exist! And he could have such a fun time messing around with this thing...

 

Quip smiled and closed his eyes, picturing a banana floating in darkness. And behold, when he opened his eyes it was just that in front of him!

 

Quip laughed to himself and closed his eyes again, now picturing himself as being old and alone in his work shed. When he opened his eyes, it was quite literally sadder than he imagined. When Quip walked closer to himself, his older self seemed to notice who Quip was.

 

"W-... where did you come from? Why are you here?"

 

Quip chuckled and forced a poker face. "Well... you see, the correct question would be, why are you here. Well... to be frank. I thought you here. Its a bit too strange to explain... in fact, its probably better if i just imagine you away"

 

Quip's older self yelled quick 'no' and stood up from where he was sitting. "I remember now... It was that music box! I remember doing exactly this as well... coming into this machine and thinking my older self into existence... i said the exact same things, and so did he and what is happening right now... Whenever i try thinking to the end result of the music box, i can't remember anything... as if you are writing the history right now, and i can only remember up to the parts that are happening right now!"

 

The real Quip was just sort of standing there, unable to understand almost anything his older self said. "Uh... I'm sorry, you lost me somewhere near music box... Aaaanyway. I should probably just try and imagine the solution to getting out of this place... ugh, no. That won't work since 'I' imagine it and i don't know what the solution is... GAH, WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO HARD?" Quip said before storming out of the machine and back to where the other machines were.

 

"Maybe one of these can help me out..." Quip said as he started to examine each of the machines, being sure to inspect every aspect of them.

"U'm...w-what rent ? Who are you...what is this place ?" She asked, taking a few steps away from the colt. *This is just getting weirder and weirder by the second. I wanna go home.* She thought. "And...how did I get here ?" She took a couple more steps away from the colt, still not sure whether she should trust him or not.

"Eh.. the money we have to pay to live in there, remember?" he said with a smile. He laughed at the next question. "Very funny. This is your home, remember?" he seemed to get annoyed with all those questions.

You're not sure if believe your own truth.

"Let's play."

 

I frown, trotting over to the TV and attempting to switch it off. "That's not right. Besides, don't you have somepony else to teach you those things?"

 

He pauses, blinking and frowning. "And how did you get in here, anyway? Who are you? ...Where am I?" He looked around. "Something's... off."

"Yes, the Great Pony teaches us." he said and started to pray, ignoring your questions.

Your hooves realised that the floor is pretty slippery. You slipped. But so much that you slipped away through the window.

You are in front of the house now. There is a banner, saying: "Welcome to the real world."

You see a lot of old ponies outside, and also a huge building. According to a sign it's a poison shop.

"But.. why to leave. We can have anything we want. We'll never leave, just look outside.." said Quip, pointing at the African scenery.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

 

"Eh.. the money we have to pay to live in there, remember?" he said with a smile. He laughed at the next question. "Very funny. This is your home, remember?" he seemed to get annoyed with all those questions. You're not sure if believe your own truth. "Let's play."  

 

Star shuffled her hooves. This pony was obviously crazy so Star said the first thing that came to her mind. "I uh...m-maybe later, I...I need to go...home...I mean, to my...uh...other home." She said, backing down the stairs, not taking her eyes off the pony. *Just say alright...let me go.* She thought.

[The Original 571]

"But.. why to leave. We can have anything we want. We'll never leave, just look outside.." said Quip, pointing at the African scenery.

 

Quip laughed and shook his head. "Because its all just a lie. I'd rather make fireworks for the rest of my life then have anything i want here knowing its not real!" he yelled to himself who was still in the machine.

 

Quip continued to try and find out what the other machines did. He seemed to be rather interested with a certain one. He had pressed a few buttons and flipped a few levers, expecting a result from one of them.

"Okay. Stay low, ve don't vant our heads taken off. Follow my lead, ve need to take the farmhouse." Donning the helmet, Red crawls through the field, pausing occasionally to use the binoculars one of his squadmates had given him. He reached the farmhouse, and instructed his friends to the doors and windows.

[Addem Up 246]

You see a lot of old ponies outside, and also a huge building. According to a sign it's a poison shop.

 

He shouts, tumbling as he slides out into the street. Dusting himself off, he adjusts his glasses, peering at the sign. "What? Why are they buying poison? And where the hell am I?" Addem frowns, thinking things over. "Everything started with that music box. Maybe I need to find it? But where would it be?" Frowning, his trots up to one of the old ponies. "Excuse me, have you seen a music box?"

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

"Other home? Is that even possible?" the colt got surprised. He laughed again. "You are funny today. So let's stop fooling around and let's play. You know the rules - Just hit the pawn up on the corner." he said and winked. "You have nothing to loose." he added. A playing set appeared on the table.

You can see that there are no doors leading out of the house.

 

Quip laughed and shook his head. "Because its all just a lie. I'd rather make fireworks for the rest of my life then have anything i want here knowing its not real!" he yelled to himself who was still in the machine.

(Dang you Diamond, always one post ahead of me!)

The machine started to produce nice calming smell, prepared you hot cocoa and turned itself into a bed.

You can hear the machines saying "Goodnight, son."

 

 

"Okay. Stay low, ve don't vant our heads taken off. Follow my lead, ve need to take the farmhouse." Donning the helmet, Red crawls through the field, pausing occasionally to use the binoculars one of his squadmates had given him. He reached the farmhouse, and instructed his friends to the doors and windows.

You lost the enemies out of the sight again. Suddenly, an enormous army appeared.

The farm disappears. The ponies shoot their guns. "It's time to run!" screams one. "This way!"

 

He shouts, tumbling as he slides out into the street. Dusting himself off, he adjusts his glasses, peering at the sign. "What? Why are they buying poison? And where the hell am I?" Addem frowns, thinking things over. "Everything started with that music box. Maybe I need to find it? But where would it be?" Frowning, his trots up to one of the old ponies. "Excuse me, have you seen a music box?"

"No. There are no music boxes." In his face is a vacant stare. Suddenly, the area fills with shadows. Noone seems to percieve, or maybe they just don't care. You can hear the light whispering something but s the darkness floods it.

Star gulped. "I really don't...I...ok." She said, quietly moving towards the chess board and sitting down.  "I...wait...You still haven't told me who you are...or where we are. I don't know you. Now let me go home." She said, standing up, but not moving away from the chess board.

The machine started to produce nice calming smell, prepared you hot cocoa and turned itself into a bed. You can hear the machines saying "Goodnight, son."

 

Quip was intrigued at the function of the strange machine. But if it was offering hot cocoa and a warm bed to lay in for a little while, he didn't want to question it. Quip gladly got onto the bed and took the hot cocoa in his hooves, gratefully taking a sip of the chocolate-y goodness that soon filled his mouth and stomache. "Mmm, so perfect..." he said as he slumped down in the bed.

 

After drinking all of his beverage and enjoying the comforting bed, he got up and moved towards another machine.

[Nightfall 3,950]

You look around. You can see that there is the ocean on one side and the labyrinth on the other side.

You can hear: "You have to find the way out! You are the scout!" and also: "They keep us in to pull us down.."

 

 

You can see a beautiful scenery in shades of orange inside. It's like some kind of other world. You can see the roaming lions feeding on remains in the distance.

There is also a manual on the wall. You can read:

"Happy Technology presents the Playground.. just for you!

The air feels fresh and nice. You hear the voice: "You can breath today.."

He hears the tune and figures it won't stop until he reaches his house. He sighs, still confused, scared, and angry. He finally reaches his house after some time, going slowly not to overshoot where the tune is coming from.

"Ok, I'm here! What next, if anything?"

[Addem Up 246]

Addem glances around, trotting away from the shadows. "What do you mean, there are no music boxes? Where have they gone?"

Addem cocks his head trying to hear the sounds echoing from the light. "What was that? What are you saying? And... how are you saying it?" He frowns, confused.

(sorry been busy) Ace looked at teh labryinth then the map then the ponies with him. "Ok, now I'm a scout and have to get though this...should be easy." Ace said walking in and looking around teh many passages way that greeted him. "Ok, which way, which way?" Ace looked at the map.

Red swore copiously under his breath. This was ridiculous. He was done dancing to this box's tune. As the ponies fled and the army attacked, he staunchly sat down and lit a cigarette, calmly watching the approach and retreat of the two imaginary forces of war.

Autumn froze to a flutter.

"who are you?" she whispered half to herself.

she twitched her tail and looked around, she couldn't see anypony anywhere.

She started moving forward again, scanning the horizon.

"man... its hot..." She muttered, wiping the sweat from her brow.

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

Star gulped. "I really don't...I...ok." She said, quietly moving towards the chess board and sitting down.  "I...wait...You still haven't told me who you are...or where we are. I don't know you. Now let me go home." She said, standing up, but not moving away from the chess board.

"You know me like forever. We live together in this house like.. all the time. What's wrong with you today?" he said and made his first move - he skipped with his pawn into the corner. It would be normally impossible but here.. it seemed about being right.

"You know that there is nothing more than this house, right..?"

 

Quip was intrigued at the function of the strange machine. But if it was offering hot cocoa and a warm bed to lay in for a little while, he didn't want to question it. Quip gladly got onto the bed and took the hot cocoa in his hooves, gratefully taking a sip of the chocolate-y goodness that soon filled his mouth and stomache. "Mmm, so perfect..." he said as he slumped down in the bed.

 

After drinking all of his beverage and enjoying the comforting bed, he got up and moved towards another machine.

The second Quip ran to you. "Just look outside.."

Inside of the playground machine the sun shone so bright that the whole room was lit with the light.

You weren't sure, but you think you heard a scream out of the first machine.

"Can you hear the screams?" asked the second Quip.

The machine you're standing by started shining too.. but this light was somehow.. familiar.

 

He hears the tune and figures it won't stop until he reaches his house. He sighs, still confused, scared, and angry. He finally reaches his house after some time, going slowly not to overshoot where the tune is coming from.

"Ok, I'm here! What next, if anything?"

Your house has a calm, relaxing feel. You walk into one of the rooms and recognises a bathroom. As you pass by a mirror, you see that you look much older than before...

There is also a bunch of bottles around the mirror. The etiquette says: "Tired of being yourself? Go on and be somebody else! The Eytan Laboratory Elixirs."

 

Addem glances around, trotting away from the shadows. "What do you mean, there are no music boxes? Where have they gone?"

Addem cocks his head trying to hear the sounds echoing from the light. "What was that? What are you saying? And... how are you saying it?" He frowns, confused.

"There were ever any of them? I don't think so..." answers the old pony.

"Sheeeeeeeeeee passssssssssssssssed ssssssssssssssssound assssssssssssssssssssleeeeeeeeeeeep wheeeeeeeeeeeen the blooooooooooooooooood issssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssstain buuuuuuuuut blooooooooooood isssssssss paaaaaaain..." whispers the voice, but then there is no light to whisper anymore.

 

(sorry been busy) Ace looked at teh labryinth then the map then the ponies with him. "Ok, now I'm a scout and have to get though this...should be easy." Ace said walking in and looking around teh many passages way that greeted him. "Ok, which way, which way?" Ace looked at the map.

"Yes! Rise up!" one of the ponies starts to cheer. You wish you were sinking down in the ocean..

All of the ponies start to cheer, seem to be happy. The map shows you a clear way out of the labyrinth.

A young mare comes to you. "I have to warn you. If they see that we have a scout so everyone can find the way out, they might catch us..." she says, but there is no mourning in that warning.

 

 

Red swore copiously under his breath. This was ridiculous. He was done dancing to this box's tune. As the ponies fled and the army attacked, he staunchly sat down and lit a cigarette, calmly watching the approach and retreat of the two imaginary forces of war.

Suddenly, you're blown up to the air. As you fly high in the air, you realise that you have no injuries. You can see the souls of some ponies flying up to you. "Lead us to the heaven." they say.

 

Autumn froze to a flutter.

"who are you?" she whispered half to herself.

she twitched her tail and looked around, she couldn't see anypony anywhere.

She started moving forward again, scanning the horizon.

"man... its hot..." She muttered, wiping the sweat from her brow.

The air around you starts to whisper. "I am you. And you are dead if fact." ... the wind continues to whisper as it swirls around you. You feel emptyness inside and then you feel like you can't breath anymore.

"You know me like forever. We live together in this house like.. all the time. What's wrong with you today?" he said and made his first move - he skipped with his pawn into the corner. It would be normally impossible but here.. it seemed about being right. "You know that there is nothing more than this house, right..?"

 

"Wha...um...what do you mean ?" Star asked, picking up the weird castle piece and placing it in front of one of her pawns. *What am I doing...where am I...I just wanna go home.* She thought, holding back tears.

She sniffed and stared at the chessboard, unsure what else to do.
