Ungodly
I’m back. Not that any of you care at all. You’re all so focused on that bulletin board I wouldn’t be surprised if your eyes had gone rectangular to match it. What are you even looking at anyway? Let me through, I want to take a look. Don’t knock my head with your hoof Bon-Bon; don’t jerk my tail like that Lyra, it’s not funny.
Strange, that doesn’t look like a new piece of paper, it still says about Rarity’s death. Rarity was killed even before I’d left so why should they care about that anymore. A pony’s shouting to the crowd, standing up on the steps of the town hall. He doesn’t look like the policecolts from here, but I’m sure that I’ve seen him before. It’s his weird goatee that gets me, I suppose there might have been a few ponies I’ve met with the same beard, maybe even some mares, but this one I definitely can distinguish from the rest. I’m not going to ask anypony else who this stranger is, they’d only start talking to me again.
Ah, I remember now, Captain McFly from the Canterlot force. I saw him on my travels, when he was patrolling the area with his cadets. He looks so strict and fierce, just the opposite of what my cause is all about. So he’s left his home to come down here, I wonder why. Did somepony break into the Canterlot gardens? Yes, that could always be true, but how could he have linked it to Ponyville already? Unless… He’s here about the next murder.
Yes. Discord’s dead. Released from his statue and then killed. Sounds about right. Well, it is right because the shouting stallion just screamed it in all our faces. And doesn’t he look smug about it, knowing that now he’s got a big case to work on and can take over from the ‘pathetic’ police from Ponyville. There’s Longshot in the corner with that young Deputy of his. He seems worried, the Deputy. Why should he worry? He’s not the one that’s going to get locked up in chains for this deed. I suppose in some ways I could say I feel sorry for them, but then again I’m not working with them so I can’t be on their side… Can I? Can I be on their side as well as my own?
McFly looks determined to find the culprit. He probably knows that if he solves this he’ll be decorated as a great hero and warrior. He might even be knighted by the Princesses, lucky for some. Everypony listens to him, yet if I ever wanted to make myself heard then nopony would understand nor care about what I’m saying. I need to be heard or none of this is going to work. Poor Deputy, I can’t help but feel sorry for you. You’re worried about what will happen, about whether you’ll be next. You’re not next on my list.
Oh, little filly, did you not listen to me last time we saw each other? Did you stay in Ponyville as I suggested? Please, tell me you did. You’re not even going to look at me today, your friends take up most of your interest and they are watching the idiotic Captain in awe. They’re thinking that one day they could grow up to be like him, though their minds are in the same place already. Don’t listen to them little filly, for you it will not end well.
They think that the murderer might live in Equestria. Well, no shuck Sherlock, have you only just figured that out? We all live in Equestria, that’s where we ponies live after all. And what else does your infinite brain cells tell you about the killer Captain? That it’s an organism? That it can move? That it can either walk, bike or travel to other places? Yes, I see how your mind is working. Now that you’re on the case I imagine a lot more deaths than when Longshot and his Deputy were working on it. Let’s face it, you’re a foal Captain, no matter how much you like to pretend.
Well, this killer certainly can do anything. To kill a chaos god must have been a tricky task… Even though it wasn’t. It was really quite simple if you knew how. But you wouldn’t understand that Captain, you believe that only a genius could have done something like that. Might I suggest Twilight Sparkle? She’s a genius. But you wouldn’t ever suspect her; she’s too close to the crown. Questioning her would be like suspecting Princess Celestia; another thing you would never do. You wouldn’t want to get into trouble now, would you?
The Princess could have done it. It’s always possible considering the amount of evidence you have, which in case you were wondering is non-existent. It’s not going to be easy finding the culprit if you don’t think past a pony’s appearance and position in society. They could be more normal then you would first expect. They could literally be anypony. Any one of us could have done it. Isn’t that right little filly? It could have been anypony standing around here. Do you agree?
McFly needs to be quiet. I don’t want to hear about his days travelling with the Wonderbolts and I DEFINITELY don’t want to hear about his days being the bodyguard to Rainbow Dash. She may be famous but she left her friends, and she left McFly too. She said he was far too over protective and ‘too much of a drag’ to have going around with her. He didn’t even look handsome or strong, which was imperative to Dash’s ‘cool’ image. The Wonderbolts have to keep up their image or they fail miserably. They get left behind.
Maybe one of them will be next. Maybe it’s a Wonderbolts turn to fall since Canterlot has now been hit. That’d be the day. Everything they stand for would be crushed in a flash, especially if one of the others were suspected.
Oh shush Scoots, no ideas right now. No ideas about what you can do. Work tomorrow, I can’t wait. And yes little filly, I am being sarcastic. Enjoy your time with the tears and turmoil, Scootaloo isn’t staying with McFly any more than she has to.
