As they were all seated at the table, the Equestrians could only watch in wide-eyed, slack-jawed horror as Maria and Pest devoured the steak-of-it-shall-not-be-mentioned with vigor and satisfaction. Some of them, like Applejack, Spike, and Pinkie Pie looked as though they were on the verge of emptying their stomachs to the floor as their faces became sickly green. Rarity looked as though she was about to faint while Fluttershy appeared to be holding back the urge to weep. Only Twilight and Rainbow managed to keep a semblance of composure (mostly due to exposure to creatures with certain dietary needs) but they still winced a little at the sound of cracking bones from the meal. Not one of them touched their plates while the two continued to clearly enjoy their dinner.

i agree a bit with Fluttershys reaction, but giving the reason for Twilight and Rainbow as being around creatures with similar dietary needs makes it much less realistic if you use that logic, because she falls under that category much more than those two do.

Hmm, I suppose. To be honest, I had know idea how she'd react. I just thought she'd be the most composed considering the many timess she's been to the human world.

Then again, what would you have suggested?

i wasn't saying the logic doesn't make sense for them in particular, just that if you don't use it for Fluttershy too then it doesn't work, as she has been around many carnivorous and omnivorous creatures that need that kind of stuff fed to them, and she has been seen feeding her animals fish and such in the show, I would have simply made Fluttershy more composed but showing a bit of uncomfortablness due to it being horse stake specifically as opposed to because its meat

Oh right, my bad for misinterpreting what you meant. It's just that I've been looking forward to any criticism to improve my stories.

I'll bear what you've said in mind next time.

I like this fic, I hope it continues

It's currently on hold until I finish the next chapters of the other fics. (Two more and then I'll work on this)

So it seems we have a funeral to attend to, and possibly a meeting with our titular antagonist, if I recall correctly. Or maybe I'm mistaken. Also, will they need to do the Death House before anything else? Whatever happens next, they're probably going to be sidetracked in the village for a while, what with dream pastries, ghosts, vampire spawn and missing children.

Unfortunately I have to cut out Death House due to story/writing reasons. It will take an enormous chunk from the story that quite frankly takes away the direction I wanted to go to.

I have written two and a half chapters of Death House, so I will put them up as a side story/deleted scenes along with more in the future.

Honestly? That's perfectly fair. Given that the Death House is considered one of the weaker starting areas, and seems fairly disconnected from the rest of the story, maybe it's best that the rest of the village opens up. Regardless, I look forward to the coming events.
