So, after a while in walking around, looking for the room number (shouldn’t be too hard, it’s only ten or so rooms) I finally ended up finding room 306. I soon knocked on the door, seeing if they would end up answering the door. As it turns out, one of them did. A grey mare, with black hair and a pink bowtie answered the door. Her cutie mark showed a treble clef on her flank, as my eyes soon started back to her.
“Um, I’m here about that extra room for rent?” I said. Her eyes widened in realization of what I meant. “Ah, yes. Well, come on in.” she said. I nodded, as I entered, ‘Time to meet my roommates.’ I thought as she closed the door behind me. As I continued forwards, I noticed a white pony with a electric blue mane and tail, with glasses on her face. “What’s wrong with her?” I said.
Just at the moment I smelt her breath, she said, “Well, she’s under a hangover from partying all night, last night.” I shook my head, as the fumes from the mare made me dizzy. ‘Party animal eh?’ I thought, with a smile, ‘I’ll ask her where the best party places are here.’ “I am Octavia, and the Mare on the couch is Vinyl Scratch, also known as DJ-Pon3” she said. I swear I thought I heard the three in her name, but that may have been how I picked up the sentence she had said.
She looked at me, expecting me to do something. Instead I said this, “Well, anyways. I’ve been traveling for a while, seeing stuff, meeting being-I mean ponies, and well… I haven’t been keeping up with the latest in today’s music.” I said. There was a *Snort!* that came from Vinyl, just before turning around.
She smiled, then turned towards me and said, “Right, well I’ll show you to your room.” I nodded and followed the classy mare to my quarters-I mean room. (Dang it, I’m slipping into my pirate speak. That was too long ago I had been a pirate) The mare lead me down the hallway towards the room towards the third door. “This will be your room.” she said, opening the door. The room was basic and plain.
On the plus side, there was a chair for reading and a reading lamp. Other then that, there was a chester drawers and a small bed. ‘Perfect for me.’ I thought. “It’s exactly what I need.” I said. “I’ll take it.” I said. She smiled at me and gave me the house keys. “I hope you know that Vinyl really likes to party and really plays her music loud.” Octavia said. Hearing loud, I started to remember my time at some planet long ago, when the party never stopped, and the music was loud.
Finally, I snapped back to reality, as I said, “Don’t worry, I’ve heard louder. It won’t be a bother.” As I turned entered my room I added, “Also, don’t worry about my bags. I’ll find them as soon as possible. They were… lost.”
She looked at me for a breif moment, confused on what I had just said, before trotting off. I soon closed the door, locking it, then I smiled as I climbed into the bed.
As I fell asleep, neither I nor my roommates realized that their lives (which was already weird from accidents before), was going to get weirder and dangerous. Oh, boy.
