16: The Liquescent Path
...everypony's contribution is important, no matter how small. If you just keep your head high, do your best and believe in yourself, anything can happen...
“Fluttershy? Fluttershy, are you in there?”
“Just a second!”
“...do you wanna open the door for me?”
“I’d rather not.”
“Look, I don’t care if you’re--”
“No thank you, Applejack. Now what do you need?”
“Well, folks ‘round town said they haven’t seen you lately.”
“I’ve been, um, busy.”
“Yeah we... all have, huh?”
“...”
“I just wanted to check up on you, is all.”
“I’m doing fine, thank you, Applejack.”
“You sure?”
“Of course.”
“I’ve been talking to the others.”
“The others?”
“Yeah. Twilight and Rainbow and Rarity, and well now you.”
“How are they doing?”
“They’re... well they’re not doing so great.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“And so I wanted to talk to you too.”
“What was that?”
“I wanted to see how you’re doing, too.”
“I told you, I’m fine.”
“That’s the thing. The others sure thought they were fine too. But I don’t think they were.”
“Applejack I’m very busy and I--”
“Look, just please talk to me, Fluttershy. Nopony’s heard from you in weeks, they told me.”
“That can’t be right.”
“It is. Truth it, we’re all starting to worry.”
“What was that?”
“I said... look, why don’t you open the door?”
“I would rather not.”
“Why not?”
“It’s, uh, messy in here.”
“Fluttershy I don’t mind a little mess, I’m not the neatest pony there is.”
“I said no, Applejack.”
“Alright, well then why don’t you open it just a crack then?”
“Why?”
“So we can at least hear each other and then I don’t gotta see in.”
“Maybe...”
“Please?”
“Alright.”
“Thank you.”
“Now what were you--”
“Fluttershy?”
“Mmmhmm?”
“What’s that smell?”
“What?”
“There’s, uh, there seems to be like a weird smell coming from in there...”
“I don’t know, I don’t smell anything.”
“Well I certainly do.”
“Oh no. What sort of a smell?”
“It’s hard to put my hoof on, but it... Fluttershy?”
“Yes?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Of course, I--”
“It’s okay. You can tell me the truth.”
“I don’t know what you--”
“Fluttershy, I know what that smell is. Just tell me, it’s okay.”
“The animals... I couldn’t... they’re...”
“Dead?”
“Dead.”
“All of them?”
“All of them.”
“Fuck.”

Interesting chapter.
NGL, I kind of hope things somehow work out in the end, despite the tragedy tag
Holy shit.
Now I'm very very very concerned. Maybe I should have caught up when the next update was out.
