There are many worlds that exist besides Equestria. Many dimensions as well, but not all of them are great places. While Ponyville is celebrating the Day of Colors, the day when the first rainbow was created, something happens, and only a human who arrives from that disturbance can save the Elements of Harmony targeted by demons-turned-pony wishing to get out of Equestria...The problem? Despite his kindness, he's extremely direct, shameless, and an alcoholic. In fact, he is such a drunkard that he drunk the demon of alcohol under the table, and this was after several hours of drinking, and he asked for more! What will happen to the elements when a super drunkard bounty-hunter armed to the teeth with hi-tech weaponry and battle armor is its only hope?...Equestria is doomed.

There is a bar in Ponyville run by Berry Punch that the locals love to go to. Some come to hang out while others come to forget their sorrows. There is a small flat-top piano in the corner of the bar. Every night at nine, a pony sits at that piano and plays until the bar closes. These are the audio logs of that pony, Staccato Diva.

Berry Punch is the proud owner of the Punch Bowl, Ponyville's one and only drinking establishment. Outwardly, things are going very well, but appearences aren't always accurate. And unfortunately for Berry, sometimes things get worse before they get better.

You've been trying your best to keep It together, since you got here that Is. You've been taking mission after mission since you joined the slayers. You think maybe It was your way of running? So you'd never get the chance to really stop and think. Looking back on It that was a mistake.

I mean there was no way you could have known that you would botch the mission and those guards would die! Right? Well either way, you've found yourself here at the Broken Horseshoe. One of Ponyville's taverns. One thing that's for certain however, Is that you didn't know you'd find a kindred spirit, In the form of a pony named Berry punch.

Gore for flashbacks describing deaths.
Some musical accompaniment to help set the mood.

Each chapter is a diary entry, letter, or note of a minor background pony and their experiences, some will take place during the events of certain episodes, others will be stand alone.

These are all really short, not meant to be huge, just a little something fun to do in spare time. Suggest ponies in comments.

Being a dragon sucks. Stupid dragon greed turning me into a fifty foot dragon intent on raising Tartarus and almost killing a dozen ponies along with Rarity. No wonder Caramel hates me but why are Thunderlane and Junebug of all ponies defending me against him?

A foal sitter named Shut Eye had the great misfortune of one too many run-ins with the Princess of the Night. His special talent, magic that lets him enter and alter dreams, makes him uniquely suited to performing duties that Luna needs assistance with.

When a child goes missing and a nightmare becomes reality, Shut Eye will have to travel far and face terrors none could have ever imagined.

After being mocked by his best friend Caramel for still being single, Pokey Pierce encounters a pony named Berry Punch. Despite just wanting to make sure she doesn't hurt herself in her intoxicated state, Pokey notices that Berry seems to be sticking around the blue unicorn.

When the Manehattan Bash is attacked by a being that calls itself Cacophony, Thunder Growl is the only performer to escape being captured—because he was at the bar. He races back to the Bash just in time to have his flank handed to him by the unstoppable monster.
With his bandmates missing, Thunder Growl must face demons both within and without to track down Cacophony, unravel the mystery of the creature's power and its hatred of all things musical and harmonious, and rescue the ponies it has captured.
Luckily, he will not have to do it alone. Thunder's travels soon take him to Ponyville, where a certain group of friends are more than willing to lend their assistance... whether he wants it or not.
