Room 621

Prologue

Entering the house Vinyl Scratch brought her groceries into the kitchen. After unloading the food Vinyl began to put a meal together.

It was a Hey burger steak with some sliced cucumber and diced potatoes, with ketchup on the side. Hopefully the pony she was making this for would still be able to eat it. If not she wasn’t sure what would happen.

Once she was finished making the meal she put it onto a plate and brought it with her to the basement door. Slowly she opened the door.

Seconds after opening the door the voice of a stallion could be heard coming up the stairs.

“Vinyl? Vinyl is that you?”

Hello again everyone, this is Neon Lights again. It has been a month now since my adventure into the abandoned Discord’s Palace. I am going to recount a few of the things that happened to me during that month before getting down to business.

When I arrived home I went to the Ponyville Hospital to check on that bite that photo negative Pinkie Pie head gave me. The doctor said that while the wound has a fungal infection, that if I stayed on the antibiotics he gave me I should be fine.

I would also like to thank all of you who remembered my first post. I had tried to post it around on the internet but most of the sites featuring it were taken down. I am guessing this is due to them being leaned on by a certain company, with a lot of power.

While I am home I still don’t feel safe. You know Boneless, that rubber chicken Cheese Sandwich would use in his skits before he joined Pinkie Pie in the amusement park business. Well, recently I have been finding a lot of them. Some in my mail box, some in my yard, and a few in my car. However it didn’t really bother me until I started finding them randomly in my house.

What makes them so creepy is the fact that all of the Boneless dolls were missing their heads.

But that is not all, I have even seen outlines of chicken heads painted on the walls of buildings on the way to my work.

I even saw the silhouette of a frizzy manned mare drawn beside my car in pink chalk. It had been drawn like the outline of a murder victim you would see in one of those old movies. In the center of the chalk outline was a single word written with yellow chalk saying: STOP!

Vinyl Scratch says I am just being paranoid and I should go back to writing music. I have honestly tried to stop my research in the subject and return to writing songs but unfortunately my mind won’t let go.

With the help of a friend, I created a webpage so that I could warn people about my experience at the park.

A few other ponies have come to me with information they have uncovered from their discoveries around the Cheesy Pie Corporation.

One pony who referred to himself as Lance told me in an email about a time when he had been to a Cheesy Pie theme park located in Canterlot called Cheesy World. Someone had told Lance about strange mascots running around the park wearing gas-masks. These mascots or gas-cots rather were the reason Lance had gone to Cheesy World.

Apparently at one point the Cheesy Pie Corporation had created gas-masks for the case of an emergency; however it was believed that the masks might be too scary for the young fillies and colts. So Pinkie Pie’s face was plastered on the front of it to make the masks more appealing to the children.

While Lance wasn’t successful in finding any gas-cots he did discover some other strange things in the theme park. At one point Lance found a life-guard for one of the water rides in the park who said he had seen something strange one day.

The life guard talked about how one time after returning from his lunch break he had sent a few foals down the Ducky Swirly ride. One of the foals was a chubby colt. The life guard watched and wasn’t too surprised when two out of the three foals came out of the tube at the bottom of the ride.

He figured the chubby one had become stuck inside the tube and so he sent a few more foals down the tube figuring they would dislodge the fat colt. However the two foals come out the other end.

Worried, the life guard was about to close down the ride for maintenance when at last the chubby colt come out. The young foal seemed to be quite disoriented.

The foal was pulled out of pool.

After that the life-guard kept a closer eye on the children and sometimes he noted other foals coming out at the end in the wrong order. They weren’t as bad as the chubby colt but all of them still seemed confused. Also none of them ever returned to the ride.

Lance also talked to a janitor at the park. Apparently there are secret zones hidden in certain areas of the parks, called Black Zones. These are places where anything goes from things like; drinking, drugs and even sex.

These Black Zones were set up with Cheese Sandwich’s authority, however it seems Pinkie Pie is not proud of the creation of these areas.

If you haven’t guess already the reason the janitor knows of these Black Zones is because he has been the one assigned to clean them. Now before you jump to any conclusions of bizarre rituals, the janitor saw nothing of that sort in there.

Sure he has cleaned up his fair portion of garbage, cigarettes, liquor bottles, condoms and even some blood in these areas. However these can easily be excused as ponies being irresponsible for their actions.

One thing he did say was kind of peculiar was how one time he was cleaning a special room, with some interesting devices inside. It was like a large switch board with multiple lights. All the lights were off except for one, which was a bright red. The light was labeled Room 621.

I am going to try to find more information on this Room 621.

Recently I have been having some digestive issues. I called the doctor and he said that those might just be some side effects from the medication I am taking and that I should stop taking that medicine. He has prescribed an alternative form of antibiotic for me to take that I should be able to pick up tomorrow.

Sadly I haven’t been able to find any information on Room 621. If I find anything I will let you all know.

One thing I have heard is the unfortunate news that another pony named Green Thumb attempted to go back to the park. However I doubt this story is true. More likely than not it is another one of you ponies on the internet claiming to have gone to that island just for some laughs or in an attempt to be a troll.

Also I have heard rumors that the Cheesy Pie Corporation goes to extreme measures to ensure that no pony “dies” in another of the parks. The rumor states that employees of the company will take the bodies of accident victims off site. However, I can’t confirm this information nor can I testify if I saw anything during my experience at the park that would confirm this. While I could perhaps see Cheese Sandwich supporting such actions I am starting to believe that Pinkie Pie wouldn't.

Another rumor you guys keep sending me is the theory that Pinkie Pie or Cheese Sandwich are part of a cult. Honestly I highly doubt this as the controversy of such an event would ruin the reputations of both ponies. The fact that the Cheesy Pie Corporation have a section for special customers called the Forty Four Club doesn’t really support such theories. Even if it is the number is supposed to be eleven times four with eleven being a number for enlightenment and four standing for the total number of Alicorns in Equestria that doesn’t really tie Pinkie Pie or Cheese Sandwich to any cult activity.

Show me some proof of them sacrificing foals to some being from Tarterus and then come find me okay. Otherwise keep it to yourself and quit sending this theory to me. Once is fine but after multiple times it becomes quite annoying.

On a better note I did recently discover the reason behind why that Pinkie mascot was photo-negative. As it turns out the Cheesy Pie Corporation actually had a holiday special for Nightmare Night where a photo-negative version of Pinkie was chasing some bats. So my best guess is that there may have been a mascot made for a Nightmare Night event at the park.

Well, that is all for now.

Lately my coat has been feeling funny. It feels kind of stiff and rough. I have been coughing a lot too so perhaps I am just coming down sick with something.

Anyway, sometime after posting my original topic, Saithorum contacted me. For those of you who don’t know, he was one of the zebras I had met in the Zebra nation during my trip there.

He told me that he was sorry for the misfortune I had received during my visit, as he knew some of the things that went on inside that park and had hoped I wouldn’t have had to deal with it.

However now that I have been exposed to what he refers to as “the darkness of that place” Saithorum has given me some more information, hoping that perhaps it can serve as a warning to others.

Around the time that Discord’s Palace was being constructed Saithorum had seen five young zebras running around the park. They wore wooden mask to conceal their identities. These masks appear to represent certain spirit animals.

The zebra has seen them before in the past and had stayed as far away from them as he could. This was due to the fact that they seemed to possess strange powers. One of his stories told of the five masked zebras dancing around a crudely made doll. After a minute of dancing and chanting, the doll stood up and started to dance on its own.

Well, one day Saithorum spotted the younglings again, only this time they were standing outside one of the entrances to Discord’s Palace. They were chanting in a mysterious tongue and painting strange runes on the borders of the gate.

After that Saithorum starting seeing strange birds flying around the park.

You might be wondering why I am using Saithorum’s name, while I have been using vague names for the others. Well, sadly I received news that Saithorum is no longer with us. He passed away the other day.

The news article said that he had died from a heart attack. At first I didn’t think it was a big deal until the article mentioned that Saithorum was a collector of rubber chickens. He had a room full of the things.

Considering how he acted when Saithorum and I met, I doubt that that is true.

I feel sad as I wonder if perhaps it was me mentioning his name in my first entry that caused his death.

Recently a friend of mine named Caramel has been documenting his discovery of some episodes supposedly created by the Cheesy Pie Corporation that have been hidden away.

Why would the Cheesy Pie Corporation hide these episodes? I have a feeling that it might have something to do with the mascots or the force behind them.

I have tried warning him not to watch these episodes but it seems that he is adamant to do so. For his sake, I hope nothing happens to him.

I was able to come across some files discussing some experiments that the Cheesy Pie Corporation was working on. According to the website where I found the files, the original poster might have been a disgruntled employee of the company.

The files state that at one point Cheese Sandwich thought it might be a good idea if they tried to replace the mascots with animatronics. While it was later deemed that the animatronics were not life like enough there were various experiments performed to try to make the mascots more efficient.

One of the goals was to make a successful animatronic that was also life like. These experiments were being performed by the Flim Flam brothers who had been commissioned by the Cheesy Pie Corporation for this task. During this experiment, that team came across a unique fungus in the Zebra country that carried some interesting properties. The fungus could easily be broken down into a moldable substance that was both flexible and could be used to insulate wiring and electronics.

They were also trying to use a strange oily substance that would keep the molded material from decaying and breaking down. The oil would allow the material to maintain what moisture it had and would also keep the metal frame the material was build around from rusting.

Sadly the experiment came to a close after both Flim Flam brothers were killed when their house burnt down.

Today I received a strange note from some pony named Diana. The note reads as follows:

Hey Neon,

My name is Diana, which isn’t really my actual name for reasons I am certain you know. What I can say is that I have actually worked at Cheesy Pie Corporation as one of their managers so I have seen a lot of things that most of our fans don’t know about.

However, the reason I am sending you this message is to discourage you from going to Manestrom Island. I even have some pictures for you included in this document to further prove my point. For your safety, I would strongly suggest you destroy them after viewing.

Sometime ago, we lost all contact with the park of Manestrom Island. As a result, a group of us went to the park to investigate. I was a member of this group.

Upon arrival, we noticed that nobody was around despite the fact that the check-in log showed that we should still have a full park. After checking the park’s digital records, we discovered that the parks alarm system had gone off.

You see, there was a time where Equestria was afraid of an attack from the Dragon nation. As a result, the Cheesy Pie Corporation set up some emergency bunkers in the case of an attack. These bunkers could hold twice the number of average ponies in the park and keep them alive for a few months. It was also built so that it could withstand a continuous external attack, and was fire-proof.

In order to keep the guests entertained even when in such a scenario, a replica of the town of Ponyville was built into the bunker interior.

Apparently something must have set off the alarm causing the staff to evacuate everybody into the bunker.

Our group split up. One went to gain access to the bunker while my group went to investigate what had set off the alarm.

During our investigation, I had learned that a Fluttershy mascot had shown up on day on the shore of the island. Finding that it was not the Fluttershy mascot from Manestrom Island Park, the staff decided to investigate this mascot’s origin.

Then we found the footage. Included with this document is some footage from the security cameras on the day the alarm when off. I strongly suggest that you destroy this film after viewing it. This may sound stupid but I am certain after you watch it you will understand why.

At this point I stopped reading the letter and decided to watch the footage Diana had mentioned. As I pulled it out, I started to wonder if the Fluttershy mascot she had mentioned was the same mascot I had seen in Discord’s Palace.

After putting the CD into my laptop, I hit the "play" button.

The footage I saw was a collection of different scenes from different cameras. One in the main lobby, one in what I believe to be the Bunker Evacuation room, another in the entry way to the bunker and footage from a camera in the Mascot room.

Clearly Diana had spliced the footage together to show me what she wanted me to see. As the cameras cycled through the cameras for the first minute, I made the startling revelation that there were pinkie gas-masks on shelves inside the Bunker Evacuation room.

Inside the Mascot room, there were mascot costumes on hangers as well as a work area where damaged mascots were being repaired.

My heart froze when I saw the Fluttershy mascot lying on a table in the Mascot room. Flat and lifeless. Could it be the same Fluttershy mascot I had seen at the park?

The footage jumped back to the main lobby and then an alarm rang out with a voice talking over the intercom saying, “Emergency Evacuation in effect. Please make your way safely to the bunker!”

All the tourists in the park followed the staff into the Bunker Evacuation room, where everyone began to put on bio suits and the pinkie gas masks. The foals were given bright yellow suits, the mares the color blue and the stallions wore suits with the color red.

The camera then flashed back to the mascot room where I noticed that the Fluttershy mascot was gone. Seconds later the footage jumped back to the Bunker Evacuation room, where I saw that the mascot had taken up residence.

It was standing in the door way with one of the staff members yelling at it.

“Get out of that ridiculous costume and into a bio suit! NOW!” The staff member yelled.

The Fluttershy mascot tilted its head back and a high pitch noise pierced the room. The noise was so loud I had to mute my computer.

All the ponies in the room began to panic. Screaming as they tried to close shut their ears. Then the screen went to static.

Another scene appeared showing a group of ponies in bio suits and gasmasks being led into the bunker by the mascot. Then the video ended.

With the video over, I went back to reading Diana’s letter.

After, seeing what was on the video my group rushed back to the bunker. We hoped to stop the other party from opening it out of fear that that thing might still be there.

We were too late. When we arrived, not only had the bunker been opened but all the ponies that had been inside the bunker had left. Only they weren’t ponies anymore.

The group that had opened the bunker had been killed. It was like they had been trampled, their bodies crushed into red chunks of flesh and bone.

As my group and I tried to flee back to the chopper, we started to see them. They could be seen in the distance. Just watching, starring at us with their foggy glass eyes.

Despite my warnings, a few members of my comrades wanted to investigate. Considering that I am the only member of my group to have left that dreadful place, I can only guess what happened to them.

As I ran, I accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain side. While it was a steep drop, I managed to land without taking too much damage. A few scrapes and bruises but nothing serious.

When I looked around, I realized that I had fallen down into the town of Ridgeport.

Before the park was constructed, the only great landmark Manestrom Island had was the small town of Ridgeport. After the park was constructed the Ridgeport economy shot up.

In order for me to leave the island, I would have to go through Ridgeport. As I walked through the towns streets, I was shocked by how abandoned it was. The alarm system would have only gone off in the park not in Ridgeport. So why was it so empty?

Then I saw a distressed filly running towards me from a nearby building. When I saw what was following her I understood why.

A mascot stepped from out of the building. It was a Twilight mascot, with only one wing. Black ooze seemed to leak from holes in the mascot’s suit, staining the fabric it touched. The ooze dripped and curdled from mesh of the mascot’s mouth. I am not sure how such a monster could exist but it did.

I grabbed the scared filly and put her on my back, and then I ran.

Thankfully the filly and I did manage to escape. Her name is Berry and ever since I saved her from that place she has been living a normal happy life.

However I have learned one thing in this endeavor.

Don’t let them bite you! It has been shown to sometimes have severe consequences.

That is why we abandoned Discord's Palace. We abandoned it and locked it up, hoping that something like this would never happen.

Sincerely,

Diana

I am not sure how Diana was able to get a hold of me but I do know that one thing see said did unsettle me. What are the consequences of being bitten by one of those things?

So last night I had a bad dream. I was in a cabin in the middle of the woods when I heard a strange noise outside. I looked out the window and saw her. It was the photo negative Pinkie Pie smiling at me.

“Come on! Join us!” The photo negative Pinkie spoke, “Come to us!”

As she said this I could see “them” out in the woods. These yellow pony shaped creatures looking at me from behind the trees.

I hurriedly grabbed the window and pulled it shut. After doing so I turned around and caught a reflection of myself in the mirror, however it wasn’t me.

“Come on out Neon!”

In the mirror was a mascot starring back at me, it had a blue coat, gray mane and a Cutie Mark with three stars. The mascot looked just like me. The mascot me smiles back at me as it walks through the mirror.

“Yes, join us Neon!” The mascot me said.

Then I woke up.

Did the bite I suffer a month ago from that monster cause this to happen to me? My skin seems to becoming rougher and my cough has grown worse. It feels as if something is crawling its way up my throat.

I need to set up precautions in case my dream comes true. In case I become one of them.

This may be my last entry on this site.

Three Weeks later…

“Vinyl? Vinyl is that you?”

Holding the meal with her magic, Vinyl Scratch descended the steps into the basement. This was where Neon Lights had been staying for the past few weeks.

Reaching the bottom of the steps, Vinyl Scratch turned on the light switch with a hoof and walked into the room where Neon Lights sat chained up to one of the pillars supporting the house.

“Hello Vinyl.” Neon Lights spoke though his wide mouth.

No, it wasn’t Neon Lights. No, it merely resembled Vinyl’s friend. Her friend was gone now replaced by this horrific thing.

The mascot of Neon Lights looked up at Vinyl with its large porous eyes. Despite its head being much larger then a normal ponies, the creature seemed to be able to move its head with ease. Black slime and what appear to be small particles of a yellow fungus seem to permeate from it forever smiling mouth.

“Vinyl, why are you crying?” The mascot asked.

Seeing what had become of her friend, Vinyl Scratch began to sob and dropped the plate with the meal she had brought down. When Neon Lights had come to her earlier claiming that he need to be isolated due to a strange bite mark, Vinyl Scratch had only agreed to help believing that the whole thing was some sort of joke. Now her friend was gone forever.

“Don’t be sad Vinyl,” The Neon Lights mascot spoke, “Let me cheer you up. I have a trick just for you.”

Wiping away her tears, Vinyl looked up from the cement floor at the bound mascot before her.

“Do you want to see my head come off?”
