- >day In Da Club in Equestria
- >it was the weekend, and you were walking on your way to Twilight's library
- >in your arms, you held a small wooden crate...containing all your worldly possessions from Earth
- >after making those human-based clothes for Milky from the magazine you had, it wasn't long before Rarity spilled the beans to the rest of her friends
- >learning that you had 'technological artifacts' from the human world, Twilight absolutely insisted that you bring each and every one to her
- >in all honesty, you didn't see what she was so worked up about.
- >A badly torn backpack
- >some crappy psychology textbooks
- >that rolled up fitness magazine
- >a watch....
- >hell, even the more exotic trinkets, your cell phone and your iPod, were completely out of juice
- >though she promised to get those two working again, you didn't trust Twilight not to accidentally blow them up or something trying to experiment with them
- >oh well, at this point, there was no real reason not to give it a shot
- >you were pondering this when suddenly...
- *BAM!*
- >you go tumbling forward, tripping over a white and blue shape in front of you that you failed to see during your pondering
- >you faceplant into the ground, the crate tumbled out of your hands, the contents spilling out onto the ground
- >fuck me...
- >you scramble to your feet, first making a brief check to see if any of your effects had broken during the fall
- >they you wheeled around angrily to face the offender
- >it was a unicorn with a cream colored coat, a mane with various shades of blue stripes, purple shades, and a cutie mark with a pair of eighth notes...
- Hey, why don't you watch where the hell you're going!? This stuff is worth more than your life!
- >"Oh jeez, look, I'm sorry bro, I didn't mean....hey! You're that space monkey everyone's been talking about! Nice to meet you, lemme help you there..."
- >her horn lighting up, and with a sudden crackle of, you were levitated to your feet, all of your things flying into the air and organizing themselves into the crate again
- >you blink for a few seconds, not exactly expecting to be back on you feet so quickly
- Er...thanks.
- >"Yeah, my bad, I can't see two feet in front of me wearing these things."
- >the pony points to the dark purple shades on her face
- Then why do you wear them?
- >the pony bounds up closer to you, pointing towards the sky and striking a pose
- >"They're part of my image, bro! Haven't you ever heard of me?!"
- Um...no?
- >the pony's outstretched hoof sinks back to earth, and her head droops to the ground
- Look...I'm sorry. I'm not trying to insult...
- >"Nah it's cool, no one's ever really heard of me..."
- >shuffling around, she slowly starts trudging away from you, back down the road
- >nice fucking job Anon...
- Wait! Look...we got off to a bad start. My name's Anon, what's yours?
- >the pony turns around, still wearing a rather defeated look
- >Vinyl. Vinyl Scratch.
- >you grab your shit, then start walking down the road with her
- >wanting to make conversation, you take a glance at her cutie mark. That was a good enough place to start...
- I'm...guessing you're the local musician around Ponyville?
- >Vinyl's ears perk up hopefully, looking up at you with a new flash of confidence
- >"Not just ANY musician! I'm the biggest Ponystyle artist this side of Equestria! I just started a new club here in Ponyville!"
- Hey, that's awesome. How's business?
- >Vinyl's ears droop again, and she sighs
- >"Bad...barely anyone comes to my club. The only way I can get anyone to come is if I make sure the bar sells cider cheap..."
- Man that sucks...maybe it's just a crappy location...
- >"Nah...noone likes my music. That's the problem...."
- Hey, I'm sure your music is fine.
- >Vinyl stops in the middle of the road and stares up at you angrily
- >"No it's not! Everyone here hates it! I wanna get my start here so that I can move to Canterlot with all the other music big-shots, but I need popularity! Sponsorships! And I'm never gonna get that at this rate!
- >though the giant purple shades concealed Vinyl's eyes, you were almost entirely sure she was on the verge of tears
- >you put a hand on her shoulder
- Look Vinyl, don't be so hard on yourself. Lots of musicians have it rough starting out, especially where I come from.
- >"R...really?"
- Yeah! Plenty of musicians and bands I listened to started small! Well...the ones I USED to listen to...
- >you look back at the crate full of your stuff, and Vinyl takes notice
- >"Stuff from home, huh? Homesick?"
- Yeah...that's part of the reason I'm hauling around some of this stuff. I wanna see if Twilight can at least get my iPod to work...
- >Vinyl looks at you, confused
- >"i.....i-huh?
- >smiling, you fetch the little black iPod Classic and it's earbuds from the crate
- You'd probably get a kick out of this thing...it plays music.
- >"Saywhat?! THAT little thing can play music?! What kind?"
- Any kind you want. I can't really remember how many songs I have on it, but it's something close to a thousand...
- "A thousand?! You mean like....ONE thousand?!"
- Yep! The problem is that it ran out of power ages ago.....I'd KILL to be able to listen to some Foo Fighters right now...
- >"Hang on! Let me see!"
- >the iPod is suddenly yanked out of your hand, floating in front of Vinyl as she examines it
- Hey WAIT! Be careful with that thing!
- >"Just gimmie a sec!"
- But I...
- >"Shush!"
- >for a minute or so, Vinyl examines the iPod carefully,
- >suddenly though, she brought her horn down to the screen of the device, and there was a sudden, bright flash of magic
- >you shield your eyes, and when the flash subsides, you take a look at the floating iPod
- >the screen is lit, the battery bar a solid green, and the familiar music menu displayed proudly
- >fucking miracles...
- Holy shi...you...you fixed it! Vinyl you're amazing!!!
- >Vinyl gives you a confident smile
- >"Yeah, aren't I?"
- >you snatch the iPod from the air, planting the earbuds in your ears and scrolling through the song list...
- >Oh god.....Mastodon, Foo Fighters, Mos Def, Daft Punk, Nirvana, NOFX, Streetlight Manifesto....the list went on
- >the sheer number of genres, from death metal to gangsta rap to dubstep to country....you had forgotten how much music you kept on this thing...
- >as you struggled to decide what song to play, you suddenly remembered Vinyl still standing there
- >well...you suppose she earned this...
- Hey uh...Vinyl. Look, I can't thank you enough for fixing my iPod. The least I can do is let you listen to a few of my songs...
- >"Seriously! Anon that'd be awesome!!"
- >you yank the earbuds out, and with some difficulty, planted them in her ears
- Okay, now this button brings you back to the menu, pressing these buttons stops and starts songs, swirling around this circle scrolls around the screen...
- >it took a few minutes to show her the ropes, but she eventually got the hang of it, her magic definitely compensating for her lack of dexterity
- >for a long time, Vinyl scrolled through the list, playing song after song
- >with each passing minute, her eyes widened, her jaw slowly slackening in awe
- >after what seemed like an eternity, she pulled the earbuds out, gawking at you
- >"ANON! CAN I BORROW THIS THING FOR A COUPLE DAYS?!?"
- Wait...wat?!
- >"I wanna play some of this stuff at my club tomorrow night! I'm SURE that it'll draw a crowd!!!"
- Look Vinyl, I....I don't know...
- "PLEASE?!? I'll get you a VIP pass! Cider's on the house! Whatever you want, I'll do anything!!!"
- >the cream colored pony got on her knees, staring up at you pleadingly
- >well, she DID fix your iPod....god dammit...
- Alright fine....but ONLY if you promise to be careful with it.
- >"Sure, of course! The show will be tomorrow night! I promise it'll be great!"
- I'll be there....wait.
- >you suddenly remembered Milky, sitting at home...
- I have one more condition, Vinyl.
- >"Sure Anon! Anything!"
- You have to let me bring one other pony.
