I blame Saints Row 4 · 12:39pm Aug 30th, 2013
I blame that wonderful, insane, over the top game for the idea in my head now.
Imagine if you will, your typical Human In Equestria SI story premise. Guy gets dropped into the cute and pastel world, meets ponies, stays in Ponyville right, possibly after adventures in the Everfree Forest? All in all, though depending on the author, sunshine and rainbows with only a few stormy clouds.
Yeah, done enough times to be a cliche, and that's fine and dandy really, but you gotta shake things up on occasion. Me, I just played Saints Row 4 and have been too busy listening to weaponised dubstep.
Can you see where this is heading? If you do, stop reading my mind and stealing my notes out of the garbage.
If you don't, then it's simple. The SI, me, gets dropped into Equestria, waking up in a location that's a bit more civilised than a forest. No clue how I got there, but that's not an excuse for amnesia. After all, Alice went through the Looking Glass and fell down the Rabbit Hole and she had no idea that both would lead to Wonderland.
Anyway, typical deal. Clothes on my back, a smart phone with no reception, and a good pair of steel-toed boots. And a working, fully upgraded, Dubstep Gun with the plot-related ammunition of whatever dubstep, glitchstep and chipstep music I can pull off Youtube, and a few extra features than the one in the game.
The location I'd probably put in as one of those Equestrian cities implied in the canon but never seen in detail, like Manehattan. The timeframe would be after the Grand Galloping Gala, but I'm not going to get myself involved in the Mane Six.
No, I instead choose to ask a different question. What does one do when the only tool on hand is a gun that puts the 'killer' into killer drop?
And what does it mean when the only ally and friend you have is one of the few real DJ's in Equestria?
If I put it into words, I can only hope I write it with explosions, bright lights, and lots of dubstep.
