Day 3: A Few Questions

Previous Chapter

I reached into my hat and grabbed the news article, showing it to Rainbow Dash. We were in her house, having some coffee. "Hmm, yeah I remember, the bastard got what was coming to him," Rainbow says, taking a calm sip. I raised an eyebrow at this behavior.

"You're not still mad at him?" I ask. She shook her head.

"This was about thirty years ago Bonebeat, I've learned to kind of forgive him or something," she says, taking another sip.

"Where is he now?" I ask. She sighed.

"Bonebeat, don't be a detective on this, he died before he even got a lawyer, something about a knife incident," she cooly replies. "I kind of forgot about it until I saw that article," she says. I tilt my head at her and sighed.

"Guess hotheads can be forgivable as well," I say. Rainbow slams her hoof down.

"What'd ya call me?!" She asks harshly. I jump back in surprise.

"I-I um, called you um, hot?" I ask. I mentally slap myself, for I already have a marefriend. Rainbow heaved for a little bit before sighing.

"Sorry, um I am still on edge today. Oh by the way, do you want the pre-recorded tapes? I have been meaning to get rid of that junk," she says. I nod, and got the tapes. "Now, I really like your company, I do, but I have some stuff I need to get done," she says. I nod and hurriedly leave. I glided to the ground hurriedly, feeling watched. To make sure I wasn't, I look over my shoulder and I see a pony watching me. They dissappear quickly before I got a good look. I hurried off to my hut, double scared by now.

I shut the wooden door of my hut, gasping for air after running. I went over to a computer, and pushed the eject button. I pulled up the CDs and put one in.

"Hello! Welcome to the tutorial on how to properly function your spring lock suit, and my cooperating mare is Rainbow Dash today! Tell me Rainbow, what is the first step to the suit?" Asks a voice. I heard a groan and hooves shuffling.

"Do we seriously need to retake this Twilight? I thought the first one was better," Rainbow's voice says. Silence past as I assume Twilight was giving a glare. "Fine. My name's Rainbow Dash, and sadly I'm one of the only experts on these springlock suits because of school. Stupid teachers. Anyway, make sure you do not fidget around in it too much, be very cautious. It is able to rip off more than your flesh if you're not careful. If you do somehow manage to do it, there are regeneration spells and charms to make it better. Twilight is an expert on it. Also, anything wet will disturb the locks as well, so please use caution. Alright, you take lead Twilight, I have to make a few calls soon. I'm starting to get the hang of this whole 'Talking and explaining thing,'" the CD ends and I stared in the distance when I was listening. I ejected the disk and put the new one in.

"Hello, I am Rainbow Dash here with another tutorial on your springlock mechanism suits. For pegasi, the animatronic suit may have an invisible wing component and same thing for the unicorns. There are a certain ways of movement that are useful and clever, but you'll have to learn first hoof. Huh? Oh, um, I have to uh, go, bye."

I stare confused at the computer, wondering what that's about. I shrug and swap out CDs. "Uh, hello? Hello? Um, so there was a new memento passed around, that nopony is allowed in the safe room, as it is actually the contrary, um, personally, I feel like it is all fine and that as long as you don't touch the... The other suit, it's gonna be fine... A-anyway I have to go, bye..." I stare at the ceiling, listening carefully. I swap out CDs and continued doing so.

"Heheh, hi, um, t-there's a new memento on the suits, they are not to be examined or moved, u-um... Celestia I-I can't d-do this!" Silence ensues before Rainbow speaks again. "U-um, managers have noticed the suits h-have been extremely tampered with. Uh, I hear they're going to add some adjustments to the security office. I'm going to w-work there for the time being next week after I get a handle o-on, this... Uh, quick side note, mechanics need to try cleaning the suits at least once please. T-thank you."

I stare confused at the ceiling, pondering to myself. What was Rainbow hiding? She sounded distressed and nervous. I got up and switched the CD with the last one.

"... I can't do this, t-this is too much f-for me right n-now, please go away!" Rainbow yells. "I d-didn't want this too happen, but why does it happen anyway!?" She asks outloud, screaming a little. "... Please, just go away, leave me be... I can't make it right, I just can't... Wait, what if I t-" It was cut off, and it seems to have been important. The CD skips before it resumes to a different part. "I won't go down! This is not how I am going down!" I hear shuffling before hearing her say, "Gotcha."

Soon, a contraption of some sort went off in the background, and I hear muffled screaming. I wince in the pitch, horrified by what I'm hearing. The screams keep going before it stops abruptly, a distorted voice sounded instead. "It's me, help me, please, it's cold."

The CD ends, leaving me horrified and traumatized.
