I'm a college student and member of many fandoms, including MLP. I'm a total Fluttercord shipper.
Six ponies are invited to a dinner party at a mansion to discuss a "painful financial situation" between them and the mysterious "QC".
Bad quickly goes to worse as dark magic is used, and the ponies need to figure out the criminal before the Royal Guard arrives.
Based on the 1985 film Clue.

I remember watching this movie a year or two ago. The parallels are certainly there, but no one seems out of chatacter so far, so double points.
I think I will keep my eyes on this one.
Thanks for getting this story started. I have to admit, a story loosely based on the 1985 version of Clue is quite appropriate for Halloween. And, so far, you've done an excellent job on the characterizations (particularly allowing the characters to retain a mix of their canon personalities and those of the characters they're playing), exchanges and future chapter set-ups.
I'm going to guess that
Twilight is obviously in the role of Professor Plum (though, obviously, nowhere near as perverted)
Fluttershy is in the role of Mister Green
Rarity is in the role of Mrs. Peacock
Applejack is in the role of Mrs. White (though with Sugar Belle dating her brother instead of her husband)
Sugar Belle is in the role of Evette (which would make sense as she IS dating Applejack's brother)
Rainbow is in the role of Colonel Mustard (as she is the only one of the Mane Six who has anything resembling a role in the military)
And Pinkie is in the role of Miss Scarlet
With Key Keeper obviously in the role of Wadsworth (though he will ultimately be revealed as a she [specifically Queen Chrysalis disguised as a male using her shape-shifting abilities, in keeping with the third ending revealing that Wadsworth is the real Mister Boddy])
And Spike as Mister Boddy (or rather Mister Boddy's decoy)
Though I WILL admit that any or all of these guesses could easily be wrong.
At any rate, I am definitely looking forward to the next chapter but will also respect if real world matters need to come first.

For all the Mane 6, you are correct!
I won't say about the others, though- don't want to give away any spoilers.
9256236
Yeah. That's fair enough. I'm also going to guess that at least a few of them will be blackmailed for different things than in the movie (since I don't really see Rainbow as a war profiteer and Fluttershy would have very little to worry about concerning getting - outed (Equestria probably has a MUCH higher tolerance for homosexuality than 1950s America did). That might NOT be much of a spoiler, but I'm keeping it in the censor bar just to be on the safe side. .
But, that guess could be wrong.
Hey there. Once again, very good work on this chapter. The exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-ups are all well done in all the right places. I particularly liked the little bits of alternate history you've worked in to make this universe make more sense and the slight spin on "Q.C' . Of course, next chapter, we will find out exactly WHAT the Mane Six are being blackmailed for (I very seriously doubt Applejack would off her brother for having a marefriend [yes, she might be a bit overly attached to her family, but she wouldn't take things THAT far], for example) .
But, yeah, I'll certainly be looking forward to more.
All I can say is, once more, extremely good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-ups in all the right places. And yeah, those WERE some very logical alterations for the blackmail reasons (as you mentioned in the author's notes).
Indeed, I AM going to be looking forward to more of this.

Thank you!
Again, you did a very good job on the exchanges, characterizations, action and future chapter set-up in all the right places. And, yes, you DO have a good point about how the Mane Six would not jump to murder to cover their tracks. AND you also have a good point about how erasing memories with mystic artifacts is still wrong.
And, indeed, I WILL be looking forward to more of this and will be wishing you the best of luck in your real life matters.

Thank you for giving my story a fair review.
I understand not everyone will like this story, but thank you for explaining what you disliked about it. I will keep the advice in the future, and not try to force characters into situations that don't fit them.
Thank you.
Sorry I took a while to get around to reviewing, but once again, you DID do a really good job on this chapter. I continue to like how well you do at keeping the characters in character despite the different circumstances. And, yeah, it DOES, indeed, make sense for the death to be toned down to a magically induced coma.
I'll definitely be looking forward to more of this and I am wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving in advance.
VERY good job on this latest chapter. I hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving.
Anyway, not only were the exchanges, characterizations, action and future chapter set-up all well done in all the right places, you also did a great job on Q.C.'s backstory AND the detail on Twilight's caution concerning the magic gems was great too .
I will most certainly be looking forward to more of this.
Again, this is a really good job done on the chapter. The exchanges, characterizations, combination of things from the movie and your own spin and future chapter set-up are all well done in all the right places. I especially liked the discussion concerning the possible abilities of those mystic artifacts, Rarity's silent musings about whether or not somebody who feeds only on emotions would even NEED a restroom AND the general feeling of how tense the situation is getting.
So, yeah, I AM very certainly going to be looking forward to more of this.
"QC" is pronounced "clue", right?

Ah, I wish I had thought of that!
No, it's said just how it looks- the letters Q and C. Just the initials of Quivering Chassis.
Hello there. Once more, VERY good job on this latest chapter. Again, the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all well done in all the right places. Though I DO feel really bad for what's going to happen to Scootaloo relatively soon.
I am very certainly going to be looking forward to more of this.
This is interesting. I like it so far.
Happy Holidays to you too. :-D
Anyway, you did an excellent job on this latest chapter. Admittedly, I saw what happened to poor Scoots coming a mile away , but you still did a really good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. I especially liked Rainbow and Pinkie's discussion on the areas they already checked and their "just the wind" argument as well as the reason Twilight and Rarity were able to find the secret passage .
I'm most certainly going to be looking forward to more of this. And I hope you have a Happy New Year.
Hello there. Thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. Definitely well worth the wait. Again, you did a great job on the exchanges, characterizations, action and future chapter set-up in all the right places. Yeah, I loved Rainbow and Pinkie's back-and-forth concerning a possible attacker and possible weapons. And I liked how Sugar Belle got the idea to use that magic gem to super-charge Twilight's magic enough to overload the anti-magic lock.
And, yeah, I will very certainly be looking forward to more of this.
Thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. And, yeah, again, the exchanges, characterizations, humor and future chapter set-up are all well done in all the right places. So now we have Soarin' in as the next victim (not yet, but that's just a chapter away). And, yeah, it makes sense that he would know Rainbow as well as another individual that shall remain anonymous for the time being. That is an excellent detail that works in an additional subtle difference from the actual movie.
Again, really good job on this latest chapter. The work on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up continues to be great. I especially liked the reference to the ACTUAL Clue game as well as the humorous extent the gang has gone to keep Soarin' from getting worried/suspicious.
Yikes! Yeah, I definitely saw what happened to Soarin' coming AND feel really bad for Spike getting taken out just seconds after making his appearance (even if I saw THAT coming too). but still, really good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. And, yes, the unicorn skeleton AND the shattered gemstone at the end of the chapter were appropriately spooky.
And, yeah, I wish you and YOUR family and friends a Happy Easter too.
Poor Fortunatus.

He just wanted to try and to verify that Amontillado his friend had gotten.
REALLY good job on this latest chapter. Loved the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations, mix of humor and serious stuff AND future chapter set-up in all the right places. And yeah, I kind of figured Rainbow was warning Gilda to avoid having to hurt her friend, but, yeah, I can see where Pinkie and Sugar might have been trying to do something nice for Soarin' that turned into unintentional bribery. And I DID really love how upset Twilight got over Spike's immobilized body.
And, now, we will be going into the first of three possible endings (if I remember the movie correctly).
And they all lived happily ever after.
At least until Chutes and Ladders.
REALLY good job on this chapter (and on the points made in the author's notes). Once more, really good job on the exchanges, characterizations and epilogue set-up in all the right places. I especially liked how NONE of the attacks (with the exception of the VERY last one on Spike) was deliberate (and even THAT one can be recovered from) as well as how Fluttershy subdued Chrysalis AND that sweet scene with Fluttershy and Discord.
And, now, on to the epilogue.
Again, wonderful job on the epilogue. Love how all the gem victims are making a full recovery (and I especially liked the scene between Rarity and Coco) and I especially liked the detail of the formation of the Lunar Guard and just how Flutters got in to be in a position to take down the blackmailer.
Anyway, splendid work on the exchanges, characterizations and wrap-up in all the right places.
