"Fantastic." says Raven with a smile. "Follow me." She begins leading you through the streets of Ponyville. "So, who exactly are you?" you ask. "Just a simple mare trying to make her way through the game of life." "Life is no game." you say. "In games you get more than one life." Raven shoots you a grin. "Exactly." You're stumped by her response. What exactly did she mean? "What's that supposed to mean?" "You'll find out soon enough." she answers. "In the meantime, try to keep quiet. You look her up and down. For some reason, you found her fairly pretty. She looks over her shoulder and grins, like she knew what you were thinking. "What?" you ask, hoping she wouldn't say what you thought she would say. "Oh, nothing." she responds, looking forward again. You walk a little faster so that you were walking next to her. "Can't we just chat first?" you ask. She shoots you a look. "Talk?" "Yeah. Talk. I wanna get to know you." "What's to know?" she asks. "My past isn't worth mentioning." "Why not?" "It was hell." "Couldn't have been that bad." you say. She scowls. "No. I mean it was, quite literally, hell." "Huh?" you ask, confused. "You'll find out later." she says. "But not now." You turn down an alley. "Maybe you'll feel better if you just talk about i--" She slams you against the side of the alley. "I SAID..." she yells "I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT!" The pupils of her eyes flashed red and then back to black. You stare in shock. She lets go of you and rubs her eyes. "What was that?" you ask softly. "Medical condition." she answers. "Don't worry about it." "I've never heard of a medical condition where it makes one's eyes turn red." you say. "Oh, really?" Raven asks you. "And are you some kind of medical expert?" [YES] [NO]
