    Vinyl Scratch is a mare of mystery: hard to meet and even harder to get to know. It is an image she has cultivated since her early days as a DJ and is not likely to ever let go. She is the queen of the music scene and her purple shades are her crown. To her roommate, Octavia, she is a vulgar annoyance and a blemish on her otherwise spotless life. However, when she accidentally destroys the one thing that matters most to the unicorn, the cellist finds herself learning more than she ever cared to know about the rock-loving mare.

    New octyscratch? Here.. we.. go!

    Alright, first paragraph was... Just a lot of colours, you might wanna rethink that. Kay back to it.

    Alright, just ask a friend, Any friend, to preread first? You have... It's almost there but your flow, style and sentence structure are just very, very awkward. I won't downvote, in hopes you find one. But man. Awkward.

    I knew what was going to happen the moment Octavia threw the broken shades down the garbage chute.  Not a very bright move on her part.  :facehoof:

    Hmmm....It would seem that there is more to this than what Berry is saying. Once we do find Vinyl, perhaps she might tell us.

    Also, interesting how she shares the same literary tastes as someone with jargon aphasia.

    Calling it right now, DJ Flare is Pretty Penny, the landlady.  She also knows the real, ninjaless story.  As for why Vinyl doesn't know that, not a clue.

    more than once had she suggested they do some rather... lewd things together.
    wat

    Would you care to more expand upon that in the later chapters? I'm really curious. :twilightsheepish:

    Oh and, that is THE coolest sounding backstory to vinyl's shades EVER. Even tho i never read any other fanfics about them, i'm sure that this is one of the cooler ones out there. Unless it's made up.

    Isn't it base cannon and not bass cannon?

    "Bass" is a musical term, as well as a fish. "Base" is simply how it sounds when someone says it aloud. The more you know! :twilightsmile:

    these stories are pointing towards one familar aspect. vinyls mentor DJ flare. i suspect they all have a grain of truth to them. and from what i can tell the ending is something tragic, my geuss is flare was vinyls mentor who she met at a horse race or something, the two of them got drunk or something and one thing lead to another. then there was somekinda accident or something and flare died and she left vinyl the glasses. just a theroy.

    That's by far the story with the most alcohol in it (at least what I read) :pinkiegasp:.  Until now all variants has in common that the glasses were a present and te previous owner. I'm thrilled what versions we also will get. Hope to read you soon. :twilightsmile:

    She could barely think though the onslaught.

    through*

    curly mane and tale who wore a pink bow very similar to her own

    tail*

    “Well, well, well, if it isn’t DJ P0n3 sniffing thought the trash.

    I think you meant "through".

    The resulting cheer nearly made her ear ring,

    I think you meant "ears".

    Great chapter. Loved it. Love the confusion of the whole sitiation. Keep it up. Can't wait for more.:twilightsmile: And that last line made it for me.

    “Well, Vinyl does drive me crazy sometimes, but I’m not a mental patient yet.”

    Since I know that this was released after The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, you stole one of the best lines ever, nearly used it proporly too.

    Less 'stole' and more 'reference' since just about anyone who has read a Vinyl Scratch / Octavia fic has more than likely read The Vinyl Scratch Tapes already and if they haven't, they really ought to.
