TheTobacconist


...can I even call myself this if I quit smoking years ago?

Octavia has no idea where she is. She has no contact with the outside world. There is no hope of escape. There is only one instruction: "Play".

Whoa, that's dark... but pacing needs working on and some sentences are choppy. Good story though and falls into "Dark" tag very easily.

The sentences are intentionally choppy. My idea was to make the story choppier and the pacing was meant to speed up as Octavia started succumbing to dehydration and other factors.
Thank you, Imagine.

Well, that makes sense. :duck: Also, your welcome.:pinkiehappy:

I love the rare blueblood/octavia fic but why are they always dark or tragic? I know there was no romance in the tags but just a nit pic of mine.
Short but interesting.

Thanks Charzoid. The story really isn't a representation of my head canon. I figure Blueblood is actually an all right guy. I just needed a villain.

3254395Its okay and I like prince blueblood to. You at least didn't take things with him as extreme as most people do so thanks for that.

3254493
I'm afraid not Drone. This was done for one-shotober, and I don't normally feel comfortable with the horror genre. Maybe I could do a sequel from Blueblood's perspective later?

3254512 good enough for me :pinkiehappy: cookie?(::)

3254538
That is awesome.
And now I feel the need to change the description.

3254470
Wait... There are people who take it to more of an extreme? Do I even want to know about the fics you're talking about?

3254579You didn't know of this torture? I've spent 300hours going through the links and still haven't found the good ending.
AND NOW THERE'S A SECOND LEVEL

3254705
I think I just beat it. I mean, I died, but I did find the light switch.

3254708There's apparently an actual good ending. less than 100 people have found it.

3254591 With the exception of a few thankfully growing number of fics in which he is in a good light, redeemed,or playing a supporting role hes almost everyone's psychopath villain. Think of every evil,sick,disgusting,perverse and sinful act possible in every form and people have written in a lot detail him doing it.:pinkiesick:

I have a group dedicated to the fics of him as a good guy and there's one other group besides mine that does the same.

A royal's gotta do something in their spare time, as he learned from Celestia. :pinkiecrazy:

This would've been better if she'd been kept prisoner longer.

I think that I did it better when I told the story from Blueblood's point of view. It was quite difficult to convey time when I couldn't just have her grow a beard. Looking back on it, there are other methods I could have used.

3800900
The time frame is intentionally ambiguous. I'd rather keep it that way.

That armor... now I can't stop thinking about it! Was it possessed, her imagination...!? So many possibilities! Great job :pinkiecrazy:

Blueblood kidnapping and enslaving people? Well... he took the wrong mare...

You're in the sniper's sight, the first kill tonight, time to die.

You're in the bullets way, the White Death's prey.

Say goodbye.

:pinkiecrazy:


Anyways, as the others have said, I think Octavia wasn't in there long enough/had to go through enough to get to the point she seemed to be at the hospital.

4676472
How long do you think she was in there?

4681610 Well, since she was only given a single bowl of water, as far as we can tell, a week or so. (Unless she was given more, and I don't remember because I read this at like 2AM...)

At least going under the assumption that said bowl is the size of a typical bowl one may have in their kitchen for cereal.

I mean, you could use either that she was given more water off-screen, or create some bibbly babble ponies can go for long periods of time without water, but otherwise she just didn't get enough water to have been in there for a very long time.

Depending on how hot it was in the cell, the rate of perspiration plays a major factor, obviously being in such a stressful situation she would've been sweating from nervousness without it being hot, also consider that depending on which scale you use to base their height off of, the 8th candy cane or the EqG Fluttershy and Angle comparison, the ponies would have the same, or less, weight as humans respectively. Meaning that sure they don't need as much water as a real life pony, but they also wouldn't be able to store as much of it either.

That said, with only a single bowl of water, and a cell only 60 degrees as to not cause natural sweating, Octavia probably only could've survived a week, two weeks maximum, without more water.

4683887 So a week with a couple sandwiches and a bowl of water.

4696429 More the water than the food, since you can go much longer without any food at all, about a month or so, (depends on body weight, and other factors) but water? Aside from air it's pretty much the most important commodity, in terms of how long you can survive without it.

So yeah, with only a single bowl of water, 1 week is probably how long she was in before being rescued, a week and a quarter maybe, but a week and a half, or two weeks? She'd be lucky to still be alive, let alone actually being able to talk comprehensibly. (Though it's not impossible.)

Ok.. Now this describes him as a quiet little sadistic fuck. I more see him as a loudmouth spoiled brat of a prick, but I hate this version none the less.

That is a good thing.

She has gone bananas
