The Joker Tapes

by DanishDash


Tape 1: Introduction

Scratching noise.

"Uhm, ahem.. My name.. uhm.."

Small background noises.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, princess of friendship.. Still getting used to that title.. Uhm, I am 20 years old, I am a uni, Alicorn... Uhm.."

Sound of a glass of water being sipped on.

"About a year ago, a pony, a stallion, known only to us as Joker, showed up out of nowhere and started a crusade of madness and crime, the likes Equestria has never seen. He hurt a lot of ponies, including.."

Sigh.

"Including me and my best friends.. It has taken a lot of time to get over, many are still affected by his actions.. We still don't understand his motives, we tried to find out, but he simply laughs and gives no real answers.. Even with magic, Princess Luna tried to reach his dreams, to see who he was, but she pulled out with a shocked expression. Explaining his mind was like a raging storm, she would not be able to enter his mind without the risk of going mad herself.."

"..."

"Being a princess I have requested to see him and conduct these interviews. Before I was denied, but now, finally, after a whole year I can get my answers.. Hopefully.."

Sound of magic and then a pile of papers hitting the table with a small thud.

"This is what we know about him so far.. Name, unknown. Age, estimated to be around 27 or 29. Gender, male. Scarring on certain parts of his body. Cutie mark... Burned over, branded some sort of smiling symbol instead.. Fur, a sort of orange coat. Mane and tail, dyed green, but was originally brown... Alias, Joker."

Sigh.

"Tomorrow I will go to Iron Frost prison, I've told my friends I am going to visit the royal library in Canterlot.. I don't like lying to them, but they would not want me to talk to him. I don't blame them, he hurt them worse than any of the villains we have faced ever have.. Still.. There are still many questions that needs to be answered and tomorrow I will attempt to get him talking, to answer how and why. Not to mention who he is and wha, Spike! Uhm, sorry, I am just stu-."
