Viva Los Pegasus

It was time, waiting just beyond the sunset lit glass of my club stood throngs of ponies, humans, griffons, every being possible was gearing up to make the first night of The Roost special. "Alright every-bod-ay, you ready!?" I scanned my club, spotting everyone getting into positions. A feathery arm shot out from the bar, a bright white thumbs up from my bartender, a sharp toothed smile from my newest bouncer and a nod from my right hand let me know.

"Ladies and gentlemen, colts, mares...whatever you are, welcome to the show!" I pointed over my equipment, "Yuduk, VIP in first, Codi, get them to the rooms!" I started pushing the levels up, watching my staff open up the door, the policemare I knew was standing in one of the dancer's cages, ready to hop down and dispense hot justice like some falling angel of death and rape. I pulled my headphones on, smiling like a lunatic as the doors swung open, a rush of bikini clad mares, half cut stallions and an amazing bustle of ponies tried to force their way inside. "Holy shit...it comes."

Ponies slowly filtered in, almost all of them half drunk or acting half drunk as the music kicked up for the first time in a week. "Welcome everyone, I'm your Host DJ Geo, enjoy yourself, get stuck in and have fun!" I turned up the music, letting my body buzz with the heavy beats my speakers were flooding the room with. My bottled water started to hop as I blasted the public with amazingly loud rushes of sonic cum. I took a second to muse on the dirty alignment of my brain. "Oh brain...you nasty."

And as a gaggle of mares ran past the dance floor and over to the bar a single unicorn flung something up at me with her magic. "Hey...that's...great." I looked at the bikini bottoms laying across my electronics. "Fucking...I don't- oh fuck it." I grabbed the mess and tossed them back at the mare. "Trust me, keep those on or you're gonna get an STD from all the bumpin and grindin!"

The mare looked up at me, half drunk mind clicking into place for a moment before darting back and picking up the bright red bikini bit. She gave a little wave and went back to her giggling group of mares, all already annoying my bartender as he shook up a few drinks, an angry expression plastered over his feathery face.

I chuckled slightly as the groups of normal buyers started flooding in, pushing the group of mares towards the private rooms. I couldn't help but follow the mare that had thrown her drawers at me, feeling a bit paternal over the group. But almost as soon as they were gone a scuffle at the front door caught my attention. Some coked up stallion was fighting with my doorman, YDK slowly converging and joining the fray.

I ignored it and went back to setting up good music for my guests. Watching the crowd form around a single human, standing out like a sore thumb amongst the much shorter crowd. The lady was rocking out, obviously on something and absolutely loving the feeling of ponies bumping up against her. I reached down under my booth, grabbing a small radio receiver and hailing the cop. "Hey...Star, keep an eye on the lady at the center, she's wobbling like mad, might have to pull her from the crowd."

The cop fumbled with her radio. "Sure, I see her. She's like an inflatable pony...flailing around."

I slammed the reciver down, turning to watch as ponies were getting painted up with glowing body paint and glowsticks started to light up the darkening crowd. "God damn you Star, I can't focus with a boner...." I scanned the crowd, watching ponies ascend into dance cages as the music cause the crowd to surge and throb in time with the beat.

I felt like god as the first set ended, the smell of booze and sweat overpowering as the crowd got into full swing. I'd always wished I had some mask or helmet or something, something to cut the smell, but deeper down, I could feel myself getting into it. It was animalistic, hopping up and down to the beat, letting the rhythm dictate my movements as ponies bounced like the waves at a wading pool. I could see Tenor bobbing his head in the corner, the police mare busting heads and helping my bouncers deal with the filth.

I usually made it a point to let small time offenders off, and that was no exception today, but I could see needles coming out, sex in corners of the room, drinks spilled and vomit preparing to coat the wall.  And while even I was an open minded freak, there were limits to what my sober mind would allow, and I was extremely sober. Opening night was the biggest night, and maybe I gave in and let the levels move me more after a line, but I needed to be coherent.

I wasn't about to let someone get raped or murdered the first night in, and not just because I was an utter saint. Having someone die in here, or get raped in the bathroom would be a hell of a blacklist to my entire club. After the first night shit might get a little grim, but this was their ideal time, fresh and new, ready to tear up the scene, and I was going to make it happen.

But as my set ended, it was time to tag out for a quick break. "Alright everybody, gonna take a quick break, let my good friend DJ SM take over for a bit until I'm back. Remember rule one kiddies, have fun." The crowd didn't seem too distracted from my tag out with a stallion in a bucket-hat. DJ SM was a good kinda guy, new to the concept, but taking it up like a fish to water. "...Why fish don't into milk...?" I asked myself, walking into the staff tunnel and popping out in the hallway towards the restrooms. "I mean...it's like water, but white...bullshit."

I walked with a peculiar stride, bobbing slightly and swinging my arms in time with the music SM was playing. He had a way different style than me, more house, less nightcore, which meant the entire energy changed from hyper and spazztic to a bit more dozy but with the latent energy building up for the next peak in the music.

It seemed like it worked though, ponies mindlessly chatting and running around, giggling or laughing the whole while I walked towards the piss trough. But along the way I spotted something the broke my heart. A stallion puking on a wall, swirls of bright green spewing from his mouth as The Janitor stood there, leaned against the same wall, mop handle laying against her head as she waited to clean up.

I walked past it, really needing to take a piss, but as I knew I would, I turned around. I hurried back to the mare, the stallion having fallen over and landed on its side, bile flowing from his mouth. I circled around, leaning over the stallion as Sunset started to mop up the putrid mess. "...Hey...." I mumbled, waving my hand at the mare. "So...this what you were expecting?"

Sunset didn't look up at me, "It's better than shoveling cow shit...marginally."

My heart started to ache as she grew more distant the closer I tried to get. "Yeah...I've been there. Shit I did back when I was living on the beach, rough, am I right?"

"Hmmm." She mumbled, sullenly cleaning up after the KO'd stallion. "Are you going to stand there, or what's going on?"

I rubbed the back of my head, sliding my hand under my beanie. "I uh...I was gonna ask, where you staying tonight? I mean I know you just moved here, so I didn't know if you had a place--"

"I'll figure it out." Sunset threw the mop into her bucket and picked it up. "Don't try to worry about me, I'm fine."

I reached out towards her as she walked off, "But I- I just...I- ...Fuck." I turned, pressing my back against the wall and slamming my fist into it. "Damn you...you bitch...talk to me, let me help you!" I shouted, Sunset already disappeared down the halls. "You're beautiful...now please, let me see inside that head...please, please be as pretty on the inside. Let me in." I mumbled, rubbing my chest, my heart twisted up like mad. "You bitch...stop doing this to me and let me help you."

Things seemed a bit grey after being snubbed, the music more noise than a beat. It felt like I'd taken a punch to the stomach, ripping out a chunk of my heart as she tore away. I had no idea why I cared about this mare so much, or why I should, but seeing a dove sitting in a pile of shit would be disturbing to anyone I supposed. Beauty and poise was meant to be praised, not to be made to clean up bile in the side of a dimly lit hallway.

I drudged on, a bit disheartened at the dismissal. But nature was still calling, and like a pretty mare's mouth I was looking forward to spraying down the tin metal sheet of the urinal wall. I hurried down the hall, waylayed a few times by passing mares and stallions chasing after the mares. I almost considered pissing in the hall, quickly realizing that would only make The Janitor's job that much harder.

I powered through, throwing myself into the restroom and slamming into the side wall with my shoulder, already half out and ready to get rid of the tension. I leaned my head back as I gave up, freshly treated it wasn't burning and I didn't have any sores, I was in perfect shape and this was by far one of the most satisfying pisses I'd ever taken. The constant drum against the urinal wall, the sound of other people walking in, stallions leaning against the forward wall and joining my urinary display.

I loved the crowds, even in such a dirty place, being surrounded with life was always my goal. And even as I finished up I spotted a stallion sliding a bit into the condom machine, my planning already making me feel like a hero in my head. But my bliss didn't last long. As soon as I left the room, back into the hall, I spotted her again.

She was waiting at the head of a line for the mare's room. I looked at the door, closed up tight. "Hey, what's going on?" I asked, looking towards the door. "That doors not even supposed to be locked."

Sunset looked up at me. "Oh...well I don't have the key."

I grimaced at her. "Hey...can we like, tomorrow, or later tonight, can we like talk? Like, without sex, drugs, whatever you think I do, can we just talk?"

Sunset shook her head. "I have to get to bed...I run a cart on the beach right after this."

"Right...after this," I pointed to the ground. "We end at four, you do realize--"

"I get two hours of sleep, that's enough." Sunset stated, the line behind her growing larger. "Like I said--"

"How about you and I talk, see if I can't work something out for you to get some actual sleep?" I pointed to her hat, "I- look...I like you, I don't know why, and you- I don't like the way you make me feel, sad. I mean, you're hot, I should want to fuck you, but I see you...all I see is something broken."

"How nice."

"It is nice! Because you know what, I don't give up when things break, I've jammed a screwdriver into a microwave until it worked again! Now please...let me help--" I was cut off by a loud crack from the restroom door. "Okay...what the fuck!?" I turned to the door. "Sunset, we're gonna work something out, just let me-" I pressed my head against the door, listening as a loud scuffle rattled around the inside. "Oh...well, someone is about to get fucked in the ass." I reached back towards Sunset, "Mop, I need that fucking mop!" I shouted, digging for my keys with my free hand.

I found my hands full and swung to the door. I knew what was going on inside, and got ready to crack some skulls as I pushed the door open. "Knock knock motherfucker!" I shouted, storming past the U shaped entrance and spotting the disturbance. A mare was laying on the ground, another mare panting at the downed one's asshole. Needless to say it wasn't what I was expecting, but the severity was none the less high. "Fucking bitch!"

I tore after the standing mare, swinging the mop underhand and snapping the mop head across her own and sending her into the door to the stalls. I threw the broken mop down, grabbing the downed mare and scooping her up. "Holy shit, you okay!?"

The mare was barely awake, eyes swimming around her head as I carried her out. "I don't...where is what?"

I reached the door, a huge crowd had formed up around the mare's bathroom. "Hey, hey, hey, someone call the cops, and the paramedics!" I found myself face to face with Sunset, "Hey, take care of this!" I set the drugged up mare on the ground, pushing past the crowd and running down the hall.

I stopped on the way, spotting a stallion in a coat talking with some young mares. "Oi, you!" I ran up, pointing at them but not stopping. "Cut that shit out, I see it again you're going down!"

The mares ran off, leaving the stallion to sulk back into the shadows. Melting into the crowds of couples of all sorts half fucking in the hall. The smell of sex, the sounds of mares giving up and attaching to the closest thing with a mouth, mare or stallion. Stallions trying to get laid, or joining in the pansexual display, it was all part of what I fostered, but drugging up somebody was just past the tipping point. I would have busted the stallion in the coat if I had the time, but rape took precedent, same as murder took precedent over that. I would stop it all if I could, but I was only one person, one body amongst the clouded judgment of many.

The worst part, as the police started to shuffle through the crowd, splitting into two streams and confirming my suspicions, this was only half the problem. I was watching a quarter of the club, Tenor was manning the cameras, and security would be overwhelmed already. I had a spark on an idea as I lead the law back to the bathrooms.

I tipped them off to the obvious drug dealer along the way, unsure of the new laws but sure enough that he would have something that pushed the boundaries. It all felt very surreal, the music making everything rather magical as I moved through the bright flashing club, glowing bodies painted up like mad, beats causing my body to throb.

By the time I reached the scene again I was out of breath, standing against the wall as ponies in blue sorted out the trauma. Come morning I would have to write up a statement, help clean up and try to move past whatever else would happen today. I was sure this wouldn't be the only instance, nor the worst thing to happen tonight, but I did my part.

Sunset walked up to me, sitting with her flank to the wall. "...Rape?"

I took a deep breath and sat down. "Yeah, attempted or date rape, not for me to decide." I turned to Sunset. "...I need security...you think you can crack some heads?"

Sunset took a deep breath. "I broke a stone statue with a sledgehammer...."

I stared at her, "...Can I like...hug you?"

"No."

I glared at her. "I hope you realize it's now my life goal to get you into bed...."

Sunset turned to me with an annoyed glare. "Is that a threat?"

I shook my head, "It's a promise, maybe not soon, maybe not in a way I'd like, but I'm going to see you smile." I took a deep breath. "So do you have a place to sleep tonight?"

Sunset huffed angrily. "No, and I'm not going to--"

"You can use my bed...I'll sleep on the couch or something." I pushed off the ground, "And quit whatever cart thing you were doing, I'll pay double if you can clean up and keep an eye on things."

Sunset stood up, "Sure...but I"m not going to--"

"I'm not going to let you leave this place without me. I've slept on the beach, on benches, it's not a good feeling. So just...please, let me help you."

Sunset stared at me, the music making her gaze all the more intense. "I don't need your help, I don't want your help, and I--"

"Please." I ducked down, "Please...just...if nothing else, take the damn key for the night." I fished my apartment key out and picked up her hoof, jamming them together and turning away. "There's nothing you could steal that I couldn't replace...just please, please don't give up, you're better than that."

Sunset walked past me, "You don't know anything about me, so stop pretending I'm worth anything." She dropped the keys, "I'll watch this place, but we're not friends, this is work...now, please, leave me alone."

The beat stopped, my heart cracked, colors faded and I stood square in the hall, a sea of ponies rushing to and fro around me. "Let me in."
