Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Screams.
She remembered the screams. It wasn't like she could forget.
Her eyes darted up as she heard the door creak open, and she quickly pulled her hand off the gem in her forehead.
"SOOOOOOWHADDUPMAHGIRLAY!!" The newcomer skated over--and how the doctors had let her come in with her roller blades was a mystery for the ages--and twirled her head with a maniac grin. "GODDATHINGYAWANTED!!"
Somehow, the necklace she wore spun up her neck, around her head, and through her wildly flailing hair before landing in the lap of the unamused patient. "Gee, how thoughtful of you, Lemon Zest. You know what else would be thoughtful? Being quiet in a damn hospital!"
"YAGADDASPEAKUPGALPAL! IMMAJAMMINTATHAGREATS! SPEEEEEEEEDBOOST!" The intruder twirled, skated up a wall, and jumped over the doctor just entering the room as she made her escape.
"Sweet Chrysalis! Young lady, are you okay?!" The doctor rushed over, checking her bandages and IV drips. "I'm so sorry, she just--she flew past security and--"
"I'm fine you dunderhead! ...thanks for caring." With a sigh, she pushed the doctor away. "Can I have a little... privacy, please?"
"Oh, of course, I'm so sorry, I'll just..." The doctor backed out quickly, trying to gather his paperwork up.
She waited for a moment or two before picking up the pendant in her lap. A red and yellow sun, arranged in yin and yang... ironic enough, she supposed.
Her eyes darted around for a moment, making sure nobody else was around, or glancing through the door.
Then she brought the pendant up to her mouth. "I need you, Sunset Shimmer. I need you to kill me."
Time froze. There wasn't any other way to describe it, one moment the doctors were still chasing after Lemon Zest and the next she was hanging midway to an open window, her lightbow arcing from her shoulders in the sudden silence.
And Sunset Shimmer was there. Walking in through the door, eyes intense.
"Sour Sweet, what did you just say?"
"What, are you deaf?" She flung her arms wide. "I need you to kill me! Or at the very least get rid of this ruby on my head!"
The other girl rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm not the one who chose the pony aspects, alright? If you're unhappy with what you got--"
"Oh, no, I'm totally fine with new jewelry, I'm a teenage girl after all. But do you know what else I am? I AM A FUCKING SCHIZOPHRENIC!"
Sunset Shimmer blinked.
"Do you know how terrifying it is?" Sour Sweet crossed her arms. "Do you know how frightening it is to not be able to trust your own emotions? To hear voices, telling you the world isn't what it seems? And that's before the hallucinations. And if that were it, I'd be fine with the pills I had. I was doing pretty good for a while there, actually!" She smiled. "I got a boyfriend! I started babysitting again! Hell, some of my hallucinations were actually kind of sweet!"
"Sour--"
"And then I got this." She pointed at her forehead. "I don't know how this works, but before hand I knew the spiders weren't real. Now? Now the spiders become real. And they get big. And they tear through my home, and, and they attack people, and..."
She sighed. "I need you to kill me, Sunset. Or figure this out. I don't... I don't want to die anymore, but... I don't think I can live like this."
As I noted on the thread, I'm not sure whether this can't be canon or if it needs to be.
For those wondering about the boyfriend, I'm fairly certain that comes from Nico-Stone Rupan's demonstrations that enjoyable stories and the 2nd Person tag aren't mutually exclusive.

I am now officially terrified. We're looking at a Power Nap situation, except with every single audio/visual schizophrenic in the globe.
Pretty certain that's a bad thing (tm).

Not every one. Just the ones with unicorn aspects.

And 'Pegasi' who try to outfly what they see at mach-getmeouttahere, without paying proper attention to what's in the way, or 'Earth Ponies' who lash out trying to make some'thing' go away with super-strength.
Like I said, terrifying.
And really, really, upsetting.
I think most of the comedy died with this chapter.

Let me introduce you to a rollercoaster named Cerebus.
You're only as much of a monster as you let yourself be, Sour Sweet and I fear that you believe yourself far more a monster than you actually are. In any case, Sunset can put a lock on your magic until you are more sure of the integrity of your thoughts, no matter how long that takes.
In any case, it takes a lot of time and focussed effort to learn dangerous spells so I think that this is more Sour's fear and loathing of herself speaking. Maybe, if Sunset offered to teach her discipline, she might feel more comfortable in her own skin and with the limited powers she'd likely have (specifically line-of-sight telekinesis and the ability to generate lights).
So, Masterweaver, are you a fan of Nico-Stone Rupan's Sourverse?
._.
Ouch...

As noted above, I remain on the fence about this snippet's canonicity. (For one, I planned on making Sour Sweet a pegasus-aspect.)
Lemon Zest as kind of an unholy Pinkie-Rainbow-Vinyl hybrid with none of the tact and everything cranked up to eleven and half... makes kind of terrible sense.
>Lemon then proceeds to break it down and carry her team.
Holy SHIT okay Lemon Zest is just ANNOYING in this chapter.
Also holy hell this chapter was dark and not fun at all.
7257284 Power nap situation?
Damn. That got dark, but I can almost understand why.
I really liked this chapter, actually. Raised a very interesting moral question for Sunset-I'm sure I know how she's going to answer, but the conflict she'll get from this will be interesting as she has to face a very dark aspect of magic becoming a reality for the world.
7257297 "Mach-getmeouttahere"? Ha! That's child's play speed! Or Dash Casual. "Mach-NOPE" is what you're looking for.
