All her life, Octavia had been a decent cellist, but her skills are hindered by the fragility of her strings, but a horrifying, unthinkable solution comes into play.

You've got me intrigued.

It's interesting because strings were made from cattle, goat, etc.'s guts at one point in our history.

It's unrealistic because metal is much more stronger/resistant than the tissues found in ponies' bodies. Even tendons.

1473794 The strings weren't metal

1473879 Then what the strings in your story are made of?

This kinda reminds me of an episode from the show Alcatraz... When one of the convicts used his victim's hair to string the bow of his violin, and played it for them, before killing them.

Cool story, but i think the Mare vs. Machine should be continued.... no wait scratch that.... ALL of us think the mare vs. machine should be continued

This seems interesting. :rainbowhuh:

1473885 Some magical material that only exist in Equestria

1478586 Ah, magic. The ever-present excuse.

I am soooo glad I decided to start watching you :ajsmug:

This seems like the kind of concept that could easily be cheesy and boring, but your great writing style makes it fun and interesting to read. I hope that you come out with the next part soon.

YEAH KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL FOR YOUR SAKE!!! :pinkiecrazy:. I like where this is going:pinkiehappy:

1492141 I AGREE WITH CREEPY, KILL THEM ALL!!! :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy: Its a great plan!

1493525 :pinkiegasp:Well, it seems there is someone out here who understands my kind of thinking :pinkiecrazy::pinkiehappy:

And with that he left. Leaving Octavia with a very, very, important decision.

To kill, or not to kill.

To kill :pinkiecrazy: The story wouldn't go anywhere otherwise

SO CR33PY... 1 LOV3 1T

Indeed like a Sir, you did an awesome job there, really good written. Iloved it :heart: you did like a Sir :moustache:

She felt like she have should know this pony

Da fuq's that supposed to mean?

It was beautiful, and luckily this time the strings, or more accurately, tendons.

:rainbowlaugh: That ended abruptly!

A very good story, but why didn't she use the guts of something smaller, like a cat or dog?
But... then again, it wouldn't have been as entertaining that way i suppose.

No, I'm saying that "should" and "have" are switched so it's humorous... :rainbowhuh:

I just want to say first, that cover picture is beautiful. Now to actually read it.

:edit: Wow... I just read the whole thing, and I have to say... scary...

Short but sweet.

1627448 HOLY SHIT! The author of Inner Demons is here?! HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME! Welcome to my humble story author I highly admire.:scootangel:

1629548 :pinkiegasp:

:rainbowderp: Um... hi. That caught me off guard. Thank you. I thought what you did was really good. Octavia is one of my favorite characters, and this was the first story I ever saw where someone actually took a liberty with her character that I truly enjoyed. She wasn't just "the pony with the cello" here. I loved it.

Huh... Inspiration much... I'll get back to you on that...

:twilightsmile:

1629612 Thank you! I still can't believe that SapphireLibra, the author of Inner Demons would actually read my story. Just wow.

*fangasm* :pinkiehappy:

I didn't see much romance in the way of this story but it had a lot of darkness in. The story is decent and I enjoy it. The dark tone set the mood for me.

Overall: A nice piece of dark reading when you are in the mood for it.

A sequel? Awesome!

Well, that's what I thought at first, turned out not to be vinyl.
Just keep reading.

1754271>>1756779>>1633032>>1504439>>1500553>>1504107 Hey guys and gals. The sequel is out. You can find it here: Strings: Production

1492141 that is not the question! to kill or to kill more! and the second question, this one is important. HOW to kill!

1561199 *mumbles* white fur... blue ma- OH SHIT SHE KILLED SHINING ARMOR!

why don't we have an Octavia emote?

yes. YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS :pinkiecrazy:

Shining armor is a unicorn, not a pegasus

Its soarin she killed freaking soarin!?
WHY???

Um, why doesn't she just ask a hospital for some tendons from a pony who devoted their body to science?
