//------------------------------// // CH3 (DJ ARC) // Story: G.U.L.P // by Flip_The_Table //------------------------------// “Okay now that things are calm can we restart the whole introduction?” Twilight said seeing Gulp tied to the chair as Octavia frowned at Vinyl who was drinking an energy drink. Vinyl nods, taking her shades off as she looks over to Gulp with an apologies look. Octavia nods at that before trotting over to Gulp “Who are you?” … Gulp’s eyes show a light orange color raising a brow down at the gray mare “Uh Tavi… he can’t talk” Vinyl said before she gets an idea. “Hey Twilight! Can you use a spell to make him talk?” she said Twilight looks away for a second before she looks back at the bot “I… I can’t” she said “What? But don’t you have magic as your talent?” Vinyl said “No, I mean I can’t use magic like that on non-living things” She said before looking at Gulp who shows a magenta color at what she said “hmm I do think that the color on his visor should tell us something” Twilight said walking up and taps his visor with a hoof witch gets a light red form his visor “ha got that!” she said before writing some notes down. “Twilight as much I love to learn about this thing, but why was it in my house!” Octavia said, the purple unicorn looks over to Octavia and rubs her head “well, I may have read lots of books, but I've never seen a thing like this before” she said before pulling out a card and placing it on Gulp’s Arm where most of the rust sits. She looks at the card and frowns a bit before humming “How long was this house built?” she asked both of the mares to look at her with a brow raised “uh… I believe this house was finished building about 3 years ago… why?” Vinyl said Twilight soon was shocked before looking at Gulp and then the two before she clears her throat. “Well… this card help shows how old the metal is… and this thing has been in the ground for the last 10 years” Twilight said making the two jump at that, he was not in the walls… he was underground for that long, Gulp seemed to be surprises at that too showing a bright yellow on his visor.  Twilight soon trots up to the bunny “so you can understand us?” she said and the bunny nodded his head showing a light green. “What is his name?” Twilight asked looking back over to the Dj pony, she beams and trots over to the bunny and pats his chest “his name is Gulp'' she  said making the mares frown at the name “Gulp?” Twilight repeated not even writing it down on her notes as Octavia rolls her eyes “Vinyl I give you credit for naming but I give you 1/10 on naming” Ovativa deadpanned, but then the bot shakes his head showing his RGB color as he nods down to Vinyl “Oh… well he likes it and so its was settled Gulp'' she said using magic to undo the ropes on his body making the bunny show a yellow again as  he was freed. “So it can understand us but can’t talk?” Twilight said Vinyl rubs her chin thinking of something ‘he is not alive… so not all magic can work on him… but if he can play music maybe…’ Vinyl stops and looks at the center of his chest, she then notices that his body kind shows a Dj panel making her idea spark more, she charges her magic and a beam hits his body. “Vinyl I told you making non living things talk won’t-” “BEEP” the radio soon sparked as the Dj panel on his chest started moving on its own, Gulp looked at it and showed a light orange as he noticed his body more. He then looks at the tiny radio sitting on top of his chest as he adjusts his ears as the sounds of static were made before it was cleared as he puts a hand to his mouth as he looks down at the radio and “BOP” and the sounds were made through. Twilight rubs her eyes as she looks away as Gulp starts to make a rhythm sound but then listens closely as he plays the beat. “BEEP BEEP BOP WOP” his radio said making Vinyl soon puts her glasses back on as she then starts to stomp her hooves on the ground “STEP STEP STOMP STEP” she then  looks at Gulp who shows a bright orange as he then understands what is happening. His radio soon stops the rhythm and focuses on the sounds as he then slowly makes a sound. +Am I doing this right?+ his beats make Twilight quickly write down on the page as she giggles as Octavia looks back and forth not understanding what is happening “What is happening?” she said before looking at Vinyl who has a smirk of pride as she stands on her hind hooves and leans on Gulp “I like to call that Music talk!” she said as Gulp shows a yellowish green as he looks down at the radio. “I’m impressed Vinyl… having him talk with music sounds!” Twilight said, Octavia soon groaned as she looked over to Twilight “Now look I get that he is something but I want him out of my house” She said as the book mare looks down at her page and she then looked at Gulp “Gulp was it?” she asked and the bunny nodded with green on his visor. “How well can you uh… talk?” she said +OH… I feel great! Never thought music can be so creative+ he beats out as Twilight nods, Vinyl looks up at Gulp and then looks over to Octavia who was both irritated and annoyed as Gulp smiles at his radio “well how about we go on a stroll around town” Twilight said and Vinyl’s smile fades as the bunny nods thumping over to Twilight as he looks back at the two “hold on a second Tavi” Vinyl said as she trots over to Octavia “let him stay”  “What?” she says as Vinyl lifts her shades up on her head as she frowns lightly at her and then sees the two “come back in a bit” she said and Gulp nods with Twilight as they both soon head for the door. And the moment later the sounds of arguing started making Gulp’s visor show a shade of blue before Twilight gets his attention. “Well while they're talking we can talk and maybe get you cleaned up” She said seeing the rust, Gulp smiles as he and Twilight go into town +Sure… I hate to look to dirty here+ he joked as Twilight chuckled pulling her notes out as they walk more into town as Gulp fells to many eyes were watching +Hate to break the ice but I feel watched+ he beats out as Twilight then realized the main problem now “oh uh… Nothing to see here! He is uh new here-” “NEW!” A pink pony said out of nowhere crashing into the bunny to the ground as Twilight was shocked by the speed making the Mare see Pinkie  start talking a million words in a second “Pinkie…” she muttered as the party pony Pinkie Pie went on and on “Pinkie pie…” Twilight said as she then explains a party for Gulp as his visor shows a RGB processing symbol.  “PINKIE PIE!” Twilight shouts making the mare stop to look at the book mare “Oh hey Twilight, I was talking to the bunny!” she said as she hops off the bunny +Okay… I may have not understood-+  “Don’t think about it… it would save your time if you don’t” Twilight says as she helps Gulp up as he dusts the dirt off. He looks at Pinkie who was staring at him with wonder as he shows a light pink of personal space +Hello… Pony” He beats out.  “Oh you trying to work on a song?” She said as Gulp’s visor goes a bit dark orange as he frowns at the realization +She can’t understand my beats+ he beats out looking at Twilight +wait… how do you understand me?+ he said crossing his arms as an orange shows on his visor as he looks down at the unicorn “oh well I’m student for the princess and music was one of my favorite topics, plus I have a library with some music records” she explained as Gulp then looks around the place “Who are you talking to Twilight?” Pinkie said  “Oh right, Pinkie I want you to meet Gulp, he is uh a…” She stops and looks at Gulp as he crossed his arms looking down at her before he beats out +Robot+ “a robot! He is kind of new around here” She said to Pinkie who looks back at Gulp and then Twilight again “okie dokie loki” she said before hopping around the two “So what does a very tall robot thing want to do?” she asked  “Well I'm thinking about taking him to Aloe and lotus to help clean his rust, he has been asleep for a long time” She said as Gulp smiles now knowing what they're doing first and continues thumping down the trail as the townsfolk just look at the trio. Passing by some ponies more and more they soon look away knowing that it's just gonna be another day in Ponyville.
