- >Your brow couldn't arch any higher than it is right now
- "Dr. Dippy Mcgraw? Did I hear that right?"
- >"That's right. As I said, he's the perfect pony for the job."
- >The monster is currently rolling upon the floor with laughter
- >Joe has the same look on his face as you do
- >This specialist is considered a bit out there by his peers, weird by Mr. Paper Pusher here, and now has a name like Dippy Mcgraw?
- >Worry is in big bold print on the list of emotions you're feeling now
- "I guess.. If you think he's that good, then what have I got to lose?"
- >"That's the spirit Shiner. With his help I doubt you'll be having these 'hallucinations' for much longer."
- >At least Paper Pusher is confident about your success
- >You're about drained of hope by now
- >It just gets to be too much sometimes
- "Well, thank you for the help. I'll be sure to get in touch with the good doc as soon as possible."
- >You get up and shake hooves... as only ponies could do mind you
- >With a good bye and a good luck, you and Joe are heading out
- >"You're not as convinced about this Doctor as I am huh Shiner?" Joe asks, breaking the silence
- "Is it that obvious?" you reply with a small laugh
- >Joe lets out a light chuckle and ruffles your mane with his hoof
- 1/7
- >"Just think Shiner," he pulls you to him, "no more waking up to find some weird imaginary creature running his claws along your belly!"
- >He finishes that line with a poke to your gut
- "Yeah I know. I just didn't like that 'weird' comment." you respond while escaping his grip
- >"Haha, I'm sure it will be alright. Just stay focused on the goal."
- "I suppose you're right."
- >"Suppose? No, I'm definitely right. You won't beat this thing if you don't give it 100%."
- >He -is- right
- >No way will that insufferable beast disappear if you're feeling like giving up
- >If only you could knock that smug look off his face
- >Ugh, what the hay is he up to now?
- >You almost gasp as you realize just what he's doing
- >He's urinating on that potted plant by the wall
- >Fortunately, he's only a figment of your imagination since the plant isn't being murdered right now
- >You would set the poor thing on fire out of pity if it actually had to take sustenance from such a liquid
- >Nothing but a volatile chemical could emerge from a body that behaves like he does
- >Another part of you dies as he loudly sighs in announcement of completing his foul deed
- 2/7
- >Once outside, you see Joe off as he has to return to work
- >He promised to check up on you later, but he needs to get back to his business
- >Well, you kinda forced him to get back to it because you have something else you need to do
- >Checking to see that he's out of sight, and that nop0ny else is watching, you reach into your saddlebag for that note
- >That crazy mare actually wants to see you tonight
- >You made a lewd comment towards her, and she nearly destroyed you
- >This doesn't add up at all
- >Let's see... where did she want to meet you?
- >Hmm, it's not that far from your place
- >That's not very close to the castle, but it's also not a home you don't think
- >If memory serves, the address should lead to a warehouse type building
- >Oh that sounds real lovely
- >She's going to exact her revenge finally in a secluded location
- >Although, that area isn't desolate in the least
- >Somep0ny would surely notice something wrong if you both went there and she was the only one to come out
- >You hatch an idea to make sure that somep0ny becomes aware that you're missing should this "date" turn out bad
- >Heading over to Joe's, you let him know to expect you sometime later
- >If you don't show up by 10, then feel free to check in at your apartment
- 3/7
- >He asked what was going on, but all you said was that you might have a date
- >"Is it concerning that note you found at your hooves earlier?"
- >Your ears perk up hard, and your eyes take on the size of dinner plates
- "What?"
- >Oh good going, try not to sound so surprised next time Shiner
- >"Don't think I didn't see that note too. Was it the girl who led us to see Paper Pusher? She actually likes you doesn't she? Hard to believe after she nearly turned you into mushed apples yesterday."
- >You can't believe your ears as he starts laughing when he finishes
- "H-how?"
- >"Please Shiner, only a blind pony would have missed that note. Your sneeze made it easier to understand what was going on too."
- >Well horseapples, but it doesn't really matter anyway
- "Yeah, I'm going to see what she wants, but the place she asked to meet me is a warehouse I think. I wanted to make sure that I'd get found if something like yesterday happened again, except more serious."
- >"I got ya. Who knows, maybe she wanted to meet you in secret, and that was the only available place."
- "I can only hope. Thanks Joe, and I'll see you later perhaps."
- >"Go get em tiger," he waves you off with a laugh
- >Gotta love that guy
- >You don't even let the monster spoil your mood about this
- >Who cares if he thinks that mare's flank is so big that it could take a "dollar" and squeeze out four of these "quarter" things by sitting on it
- >How and why would a mare do such a thing?
- 4/7
- >It doesn't take long to reach the destination, but it took a little longer than it should've as the monster distracted you for a moment
- >You can't believe you actually stopped to listen to him, and all he wanted was to ask you to pull one of his claws
- >Of course, you didn't do it, but he seemed eager about it
- >To Tartaros with him
- >There's a note taped to the side of the door too with your name on it
- >That's... a little creepy to be honest
- >Whatever, if this is your end, she won't get away with it at least
- >You knock on the entrance to the warehouse, and find that it's unlocked
- >Oh joy
- >It's dark on the inside obviously, so you opt to call out to her
- "Is anyp0ny here?"
- >"You actually came Shiner."
- >That voice! It's her
- >Lanterns light up suddenly, and you notice her horn lit up
- >Unicorns...
- >"I'm glad you could make it. I suppose you're wondering why I had you meet me here of all places."
- "I have an idea, but I wouldn't expect to get away with it."
- >The mare just laughs before finally responding
- >"You didn't think... Hahaha, no no Shiner. I didn't ask you here to hurt you. If it's about yesterday, I've gotten over it. However, I was also a little flattered that you were interested."
- >Her tone gets a little sultry on that last sentence
- >"It may have been a bit rude, but you wouldn't have said those things if you didn't see something you liked. Right?"
- >She approaches you with half lidded eyes
- 5/7
- >You slightly back away and gulp
- >This is moving a lot faster than you would like
- >Sure it's flank; however, this is starting to sound like a little much for a simple flank call as they say
- >Wait... you don't think you've heard such a phrase anywhere before
- >You snap out of that thought to the sound of the monster whistling and praising you for scoring such a mare
- >Curse him
- >Suddenly the mare stops before she closes the distance and begins laughing real hard
- >"You actually thought I called you here for that? Hah, you're cute and all, but no. That's not why we're here actually," she manages to say after her laughing fit
- >wut
- >"I actually wanted to introduce you to somep0ny Shiner. He seems to know you, and asked me to help him meet you in private."
- >This actually sounds worse than her trying to lift you once more for the last time
- "And just who would that be? Do I know this pony?"
- >She just smiles and shakes her head no
- >"I doubt you would have met him before. I'm not sure how he knows you either. Oh, here he comes now."
- >She looks behind her as your ears twitch to the sound of hoofsteps getting closer in the dark
- >A pony finally steps into the light, and you can't believe your eyes
- >You can only gawk as he pierces the silence with a sinister chuckle
- 6/7
- "Running Gag?" you finally mutter
- >It's the unicorn that disappeared not too long ago
- >You remember reading about him in the paper since he also took an entire bakery with him when he disappeared
- >The reports said he had gone crazy
- >There's no mistaking that purple coat and green mane, but you suppose you can't really mention the goggles he's wearing
- >They look like one of those old cheap gag x-ray glasses
- >"It's so nice to finally meet you Anon. I guess I should say hello to the human as well."
- >He finishes that line with a psychotic laugh
- 7/7
