An awkwardly paced story about "mysterious" OCs that strives to be grim and dark (but falls flat)?
And it's named "Tools"?

Thanks ;) I don't bother with negative feedback, I can actually see improvements with each chapter. The biggest problem for me is writing in English, but I think I figured it out
And Vinyl will also appear in chapter 5 (I follow a "two chapters in reserve" rule, so it'll be up as soon as I finish chapter 7).

That's exactly what I feel about this story - in fact, I loathe the first chapter now. Good news is that I found the proofreader, and some changes will be made soon.
Was Scootaloo the filly who killed Rainstorm or whatever his name was? Was that why she was grounded?

Yes
Technically, she was grounded for running away from family meeting in Cloudsdale, but the fact that she was involved in murder didn't help her.

Dunno, it's first mentioned in the beginning of chapter 4 that Scootaloo was grounded, when Royal Guards brought her home. My aim was rather to make readers put pieces together themselves ;)
noooooo
Omfg I thought they were going to visit dash's grave ......... I was like nooooooo but seeing parasol dead is just as bad
"Lightning bites the Dust." You glorious, beautiful bastard, you.
Great story I love these kinds of stories not too much romance but not too much dark
Toolsmith! You disobeyed rule 7 in the Evil Overlord List!

Not to mention the points 14, 16 and probably 61...
These villains need to consult the Evil Overlord List
Flashback-ception, reminds me of Naruto Loving this so far, just need a quick break then I'll be back for more

Yeah, it was quite common to me to stack flashbacks on each other. Though later I started to limit it (but I still like doing it...)
Yeah Dirty Thunderstorm is a good name for a club... A STRIP CLUB!
Not to go into a Twilight Sparkle mode here, but think it depends on the pony and his/her personality. Some might see their worst nightmare, some might see their hottest fansatsy, others might see something from Earth. (dun dun duuun !!)
This is an extreme case of bad karma for Lightning Dust, even if it was sabotage.
Cool
