by The Red Parade

Transcript Two: Cottage

“Cottage on the clearing. That’s where, uh, what’s-her-face lives.”

“Fluttershy. That’s the one.”

“Uh, quiet yellow pegasus. Tends to animals.”

“Looks pretty quiet. Keep an eye out, though. I know she usually has animals in there… guess it won’t matter if they’re all dead though. You know what, disregard.”

“What are you waiting for?”

“Fine, I’ll go first. You all need to grow a pair.”

“Watch your step. That’s a, uh, rabbit in the doorway.”

“Holy--”

“Yeah, that’s a bear alright. How… Know what, I don’t want to know.”

“Alright, Command, we’ve entered Fluttershy’s cottage. All the animals are dead. No sign of-- oh. Disregard. She’s in the kitchen.”

“What in Celestia is that?”

“Uh, something’s splattered all over the walls. It looks like paint or something? Smells like blood though.”

“Wait, wasn’t Discord living with her or something?”

“I mean, he is the Lord of Chaos. You think he’d die a normal death?”

“... shit, if this got fucking Discord…”

“He’s supposed to be immortal, isn’t he?”

“Fuck.”

“What’s that soun-- oh. Record player. Huh. Guess it’s a thing in Ponyville or something.”

“I don’t… let’s just leave. There’s… there’s nothing else here.”

“Well, there’s that farm isn’t there? Let’s head there next.”

Author's Note:

After contacting Princess Celestia, Site Command was able to confirm that Discord was present at Fluttershy's Cottage during the incident time frame.
