Mr. Grimm


Greetings! I come from the farthest reaches of the Internets to share my mediocrity with you all!

Twilight can hardly believe it when a walking, talking corpse of a pony shows up on her doorstep asking for directions. Even more unbelievable is that the undead colt wishes to find his murderer so he can return the weapon that killed him. Twilight halfheartedly agrees to help him, and finds herself stuck with what is possibly the most cheerful cadaver conceivable.

wtf? :rainbowhuh:
LoL! I can't wait till spike finds out about zombie ponies, though twilight may have to change spikes bed sheets if finds out still half a sleep looking up at a half rotted face sweeping at the foot of his bed, poor spike, but he is a baby dragon so you can't be to mad.

Also I have often wondered if friendly zombies would sleep in refrigerators or drink preservatives or something to keep themselves a bit longer

What an odd concept.
TRACKING!

:pinkiegasp:...That is, by far, the nicest Zombie I've ever seen....Yet for some reason I kept imagining he's voice to sound like Pinky from 'Pinky & the Brain' :applejackunsure: weird.

Love it! is the killer Fluttershy? Dont answer that

Shame he's a zombie (or reverent as he called himself) instead of a skeleton, then I could have say something like "He doesn't have a spiteful bone in his body. Don't believe me? Just look at him."

This...This is... huh.

wow...macabre yet funny... i like it!

...Revenant? Really? Oh my. This should be interesting.

The end of the chapter seemed a bit... abrupt. No thumb for you yet.

I read this because of the comedy tag, the concept is funny, but the story so far has few laughs in it, but it's still well written so far

... curious...
waiting to see where this goes.

SO much win!!! This looks set to be great:twilightsheepish:

Well, you have the attention of FimFic. We will be watching! Have a thumb.

hmm...ill see where this goes...

awww, chapter didn't actually move very far, oh well, still very good, since I can't give you another official thumbs up this will have to do.

Wonder if twilight can fix it with some sort of spell or is the state of being a revenant complicates the use of magic energies on something obviously already outside of the usual rule book.... maybe give him a peg leg?... or maybe a machine leg! OMG CYBORG ZOMBIES!... COOOooolll.... :scootangel:

This is by far the most pleasant undead abomination I have ever had the pleasure of reading about.

I suspect an ulterior motive at work here. I can buy a corpse not wanting to hurt the living, but spending three years walking around just because of dagger seems like a waste of time. Maybe the dagger is magical and resurrected him? :pinkiegasp:

Anyways, I'm tracking this one.

Well its a comedy.

That and the murderer is probably Fluttershy who killed him in a freak knife-lending accident, and he doesn't want revenge because he subconsciously knows that it was an accident.

754374

Good theory, but if it was any of the mane six, I think it was Pinkie. After all, she would have needed corpses stashed all over Equestria in case of necromancy emergencies.:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

This...Is weird. Oh so, so, so weird. Still, I love it.

744341 I don't know what to say to that, so I'll just say "Narf."

I'm thinking, just thinking mind you, that the issue at hoof is not that good Mr. Spade wants to return the dagger so much as where he wanted to place the dagger in the process of returning it. I know what a revenant is, and what normally drives one to shamble about, and well...

Then again, this IS Equestria, after all, cosmos of the kindly ponies.

All that aside, I know what Mister Spade needs - Duct Tape! Lots and lots of merry Duct Tape to bind him up like a pony mummy and keep his legs on. Or at least some nice bandages and a cheery glass of formaldehyde. Mmmm.... formaldehyde.

For someone who's been dead for three years he sure it taking this all in stride; gotta respect that kind of attitude.

"He is not a revenant, not a zombie"
If he isn't a revenant or zombie, then what is he?

“Winona’s sicker than, well…a dog."

I just about choked on my iced tea with that one. Revenant leg - not the best thing for a dog, I expect!

That is the nicest undead in the history of ever...

I'm really starting to like this fellows constant great level of optimism! Prehaps something to do with his grave digging job? When your making the final resting place for many ponys, and having to interact with mourners, I guess you have to stay happy in order to combat the depression.

What could possibly have driven somepony to kill him. :fluttershysad:

Wait, maybe a grieving fellow, who lost sompony particularly special to them, met Spades, and Spades positive mood got to them?

Oh boy, this story is really sucking me in! :pinkiehappy:

He's so courteous after nearly being beaten to death again

Sweet Celestia, what won't this guy take? Does he just assume he's the universe's Butt-Monkey?

779231 Considering his reaction to his leg being snapped off, I kind of doubt any of this is much more than a minor inconvenience to him.

I can't wait for the next chapter! keep 'em coming!

This story is dead isn't it :fluttercry:
:unsuresweetie: LIFE! Y U SO IRONIC!

Tell me about it. This is my highest rated story. And I'm having trouble going forward with it.

WHY?

Your fics all have very interesting premises! This one sounds especially original, and looks quite funny. :twilightsmile:

1690495 You could have someone send a letter to princess Celestia. Celestia meets him and helps him find what he's looking for. Freaks out over having a murder in her kingdom in her reign. Hunts down the murderer. Spade gives him/her the dagger unless the murderer was already dead. Murderer is then sentenced to moon banishment. END.

You know, I have always suspected that Twilight had some skeletons in her closet.

“Go for the head!” cried the apple farmer, “They’re powerless without their heads!”

Was that a Scary Movie 3 reference?

This is oooooo good. Such a nice revenant. And everyone seems perfectly in character. I love the fact that Twilight correctly predicted that the girls would think it was her fault.

More!

Happy writing.

Love this story so much!! Please update!! :pinkiehappy:

Wha…

… It's a zombie Flutterpie pony.

Anyway, I'd say that by "return" the knife he means to give it back in the same way it was "given", but he actually seems to be too much of a gentlecolt to do that.

“Geronimo!” he shouted just in time to splat against the glass as Twilight magicked it shut. She then lifted him up via magic as he furiously kicked and clawed in the air.

Heh, Spike is the comedic relief as always. I'd say he's overreacting, but when I think of what I'd do if I found a zombie in my house…

“Hm?” The cadaver looked down to see that his limb was almost completely severed. “Oh. Well that’s a shame, isn’t it?”

Nonchalance, a usefool tool in the arsenal of comedy.

“It’s nice tah hear yer havin’ a great mornin’,” drawled Applejack, “Winona’s sicker than, well…a dog. I think she got a taste o’ somethin’ she wasn’t sposed to last night.” Twilight paused as she heard this, but shrugged it off.

Ooh, so Winona is the dog who attacked Spade. She must have eaten some of his rotting flesh.

:rainbowwild:

“Why is he even in your house at all?” Fluttershy whimpered, “Twilight…have you been practicing the Dark Arts?”

Drama, yay!

I love this! Keep up the GREAT WORK!

This was AWESOME! KEEP UP THE MARVELOUS WORK!
