Octavia and Vinyl Scratch, two musicians who have never met in the canonical universe, and yet have both performed in a similar place: Canterlot. At the same time, the Mane Six is there to enjoy their different styles of music, and find themselves to be strictly in the background. But, what is it they see that keeps them there? Why are they never given lines? Why does Octavia close her eyes, and Vinyl wear her glasses? Why is Vinyl's one instance of exposing her eyes significant?

This is a symbolic/experimental story, meant to try a new medium of writing. There is a storyline, but it is meant to be background; the focus is the thoughts, the imagery, and the connection to colors.
